He trembled suddenly.
Looking down at the tears that kept flashing in my eyes, I felt my hands holding his arms and trembling constantly. He seemed to be able to understand the fear in my heart from the touch of this moment.
Although I was unwilling to bet with him, his future, and mine... I still couldn't give up just like that.
Pei Ji, he was the one who once protected my mother. To me, he was his mother's benefactor and I couldn't let him die.
And the person in front of him... the world has fallen into his hands. If he really kills the kind Pei Yuanxiu in his body, and if he really completely destroys the last little warmth and conscience, what will happen to this world?
What will happen to him?
I looked at him crying, with blood and tears in every word, and said in a trembling voice: "Pei Yuanxiu, don't make mistakes again and again. This is your last chance. If you kill him, nothing can be turned back!"
“…”
"Even if you forget your love, this kind of pain will never be cured."
“…”
"Pei Yuanxiu, you said that's the father, and you are also a person who wants to be a father. Are you really going to do such a bad thing for your unborn child?!"
The more I said, the more I tried my best to use my hands, almost exerting all my strength, as if I had to pierce my fingers into his body to completely stop him. It was also because of this that my hands stopped trembling, but instead the arms under my palms began to tremble at this moment.
He looked down at me, and his eyes slowly turned red on his cold face.
It seemed that his inner part was also suffering. Every word I said seemed to have turned into red steel needles, piercing into his chest, melting his heart, which had already condensed into ice, again.
He is struggling.
At this moment, I could almost see that Song Xuan, who was standing aside, had quietly touched the sword on his waist with one hand, and his pair of tiger eyes were slightly red because of his concentration, annotating Pei Yuanxiu's back.
He was also waiting for Pei Yuanxiu's final decision.
At this moment, the man behind me had already run very close. I heard the two leading men strangled the footsteps of the horses turning over and getting off the horse. Their footsteps seemed very rapid and heavy. Step by step, they were already behind me.
Xie Feng said: "Young Master——"
Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head, his red eyes flashed slightly: "Take the person back first."
“…!”
“…!”
I heard some people gasping for air conditioning.
Xie Feng seemed to pause, and then said, "Young Master?"
He said, "Take the person back to the capital first and lock him up."
“…”
"No one is allowed to know his whereabouts, nor is anyone allowed to visit him."
“…”
Xie Feng and the man were hesitant, as if he had a look at each other, and the man said, "Young Master Pei, don't you want to see him first?"
Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a long time. I watched his Adam's apple flip up and down, and finally said, "I don't want to see him."
...
Everyone around me was silent for a moment, but I also heard clearly that in the morning with the burnt smell, some people breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter whether they know the truth or not, no matter how much truth they know, in the eyes of the world, Pei Ji and him are all "father and son". No matter how much suspicion they have had, how conflict is now. Even if Pei Yuanxiu killed Pei Yuanhao today, or if he died under Pei Yuanhao's hands, this is a fight for power. As long as the people below stand in the right position, even if they are cut into pieces, it is just a means of the replacement of imperial power; but if he kills Pei Ji, in the eyes of the world, it is the most tragic tragedy in the world.
As a person, no one wants to see this happen.
Now, this tragedy... has been stopped.
This tragedy has not really happened.
I even heard Xie Feng breathe a long sigh of relief, and I felt as if I had a little bit of gratitude like a survivor after a disaster, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
Behind Pei Yuanxiu, Song Xuan's face suddenly relaxed.
The hand he held on the hilt of the sword spasmed and slowly hanged down.
Song Xuan and the man immediately turned around and called on the people behind him not to come again, so that they could carefully escort the captured people back to the capital and summon all the people at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone knows that this night is over.
So many people died and even burned a mountain, burying some of the truth I wanted to obtain here... But no matter what, this night passed.
I looked up at his pale face, which was so pale that it was not even a trace of blood. The coldness kept coming from his body, from his limbs and bones, along his arms that I held tightly.
All of a sudden, it hit my heart.
I just felt dark before my eyes, as if my mind was pulled away halfway and slowly fell down.
He quickly looked and hugged me: "Light!"
I was completely trapped in the darkness, only his voice was heard, the messy footsteps around me, anxious shouts, and even felt him pick me up, but then the cold hit me again, pulling me into the dark vortex.

I didn't feel completely unconscious because I dared not. Even if the person was already extremely tired, I still retained a little sober, so I could clearly feel him running wildly in his arms, then getting on the carriage, and then the carriage kept shaking forward.
I could still feel one of his hands stroking against my stomach.
Although I was extremely uneasy and was in a shaking carriage that gave people the illusion of mountains and earth moving, I was quiet for a while under such circumstances.
However, the warmth around me replaced the coldness in the snow. When my body touched the soft mattress, I opened my eyes suddenly and looked at the person close to me in front of me panting.
The man was also shocked and almost fell to the ground.
"What are you going to do?!"
I immediately started to scold and looked alert. Pei Yuanxiu stood behind him. When he saw me awake, he immediately said, "Qingying, he is a doctor, here to take your pulse."
Pulse check?
I frowned and immediately said, "I don't want it!"
His brows also frowned. Perhaps because he had not been asleep all night, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were a little red, which made him look a little impatient, but he tried his best to relieve himself: "Don't make trouble, you just fainted, let the doctor come to show you if something happens to the baby-"
