It turns out that I too have been robbed.

Chapter 13

A silver moon hangs in the sky, and Pei Ruzhou, who is wearing a silver-grey brocade robe, also has a shimmer like moonlight on his body.

Qi Baili couldn't help being in a daze.

Obviously, he just glanced at the other party, but the disgusting feeling entrenched in his heart was gone.

Qi Baili does not eat meat.

But it's not innate.

People in the world say that the Wei Emperor who passed away last year is still alive, and this is not an exaggeration at all.

There was a severe drought in Weiguo one year, and the folks even changed their sons to eat, but the palace still played and sang every night.The prime minister, who really couldn't stand it anymore, finally remonstrated with death, hoping that Emperor Wei would wake up.But he didn't expect that he not only failed to turn the foolish king back, but even put his own life in it.

Before that, no one dared to say that Emperor Wei was not.After being admonished by the prime minister, he was very angry.

Not only did he behead the prime minister, but even after seeing the words "changing children and eating" on the memorial, Emperor Wei suddenly became interested.

This stupid king suddenly wanted to taste the taste of "two-legged sheep".

At the banquet, a court lady in a water-red skirt brought in a bowl of boiled meat soup with trembling hands.

After the meat soup was placed on the table, the fat and bloated man on the dragon chair suddenly frowned, and said with a look of disgust: "It's disgusting..."

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell to the corner of the hall, and he didn't know what he thought of. Emperor Wei gave a "tsk", clapped his hands and said happily: "Prince Qi is a distinguished guest of Yi Kingdom. Of course, such a rare thing You have to give it to His Highness." His tone was full of sarcasm and banter.

Others in the hall also laughed.

In the corner, Qi Baili, who was only eleven or twelve years old, slowly lowered his head, he bit his lips tightly and did not speak.

The court lady in a water-red dress picked up the meat soup again, and this time she put the bowl in front of Qi Baili.

The hot air from the bowl wrapped Qi Baili inside like a giant net.

For the first time, Qi Baili knew that the smell of meat can be so disgusting.

He sat motionless, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Why, why me?

At this moment, strong hatred burst out from Qi Baili's heart.

Proton, who used to only know how to protect himself wisely, had the thought of killing for the first time in his heart.

He wanted the man on the dragon chair to die.

He wants everyone in the world who sees his jokes to die.

"Why, His Highness is so old, do you still need someone to feed him?" After finishing speaking, Emperor Wei waved his hand and sent the guards around him over.

They restrained Qi Baili and opened his mouth.

The young man began to struggle frantically, and when the spoonful of meat soup was poured into his belly, Qi Baili finally broke out. He broke free from the surrounding martial arts of the emperor's guards and knocked over the jade bowl.

With a crisp sound, the smell of meat soup filled the hall.

……

Qi Baili has been a proton for seven or eight years, and he already knew how to survive in this palace.

That day was the first time he was put in a dark cell.

That night, Qi Baili vomited until dawn, and didn't stop until he tasted the smell of blood.

Since then, he has never eaten meat again.

Pei Ruzhou was taken aback by the young man soaking in the cold pool: "Why are you soaking here? Be careful of catching a cold."

After speaking, he turned around and put down the wooden box, and stretched out his hand towards Qi Baili.

When Pei Ruzhou saw it, he didn't know whether it was because he was frozen or what happened. Qi Baili was very obedient tonight.He froze for a moment, then slowly stretched out a hand that was as cold as ice, and gently put it on Pei Ruzhou's slender hand, which was a circle smaller than his own.

So warm.

"Hiss, it's so cold."

Although he has practiced martial arts since childhood, Pei Ruzhou is not very strong.He didn't expect that Qi Baili looked thin, but his body was full of strong muscles, which were not easy to stretch at all.

It took Pei Ruzhou a lot of effort to pull the frozen Qi Baili up.

The bodies of the two were suddenly pressed together tightly.

Pei Ruzhou even felt the icy breath coming from Qi Baili...

It was also at this time that Pei Ruzhou realized belatedly that Qi Baili was half a head taller than him.

He subconsciously took a big step back.

Seeing this, Qi Baili's eyes darkened.

... Does he dislike me too?

However, at the same time when the sense of loss hit Qi Baili, he suddenly saw Pei Ruzhou clasping his hands together, wrapping his right hand, and rubbing it gently for himself.

Pei Ruzhou was warming his hands.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Pei Ruzhou finally couldn't help laughing seeing Qi Baili standing still, "Are you stupid?"

After finishing speaking, he finally put down his hand, and then took the drenched boy and walked quickly into the house.

Just like in the Fuxun Palace, the court ladies and eunuchs that Qi Baili brought to the Xing Palace slipped away to fish for fish.

But Pei Ruzhou didn't count on them either.

After bringing the frozen Qi Baili back to the house, Pei Ruzhou, who had the experience of falling into the water before, stuffed him under the blanket before Qi Baili could react.

Then he found a towel and wiped the other party's hair carefully.

"Although it's summer recently, but the palace is not hot, taking a cold bath can easily make you sick."

"Um……"

"If the servants don't work, you tell me!"

"it is good."

The young man wrapped in the quilt looked very well-behaved, without any appearance of a tyrant.

Thinking of Qi Baili's "future", Pei Ruzhou suddenly couldn't bear it.

What kind of thing can make a normal person become moody, cruel and tyrannical?

Thinking of this, Pei Ruzhou urged him over and over again patiently, for fear that Qi Baili would be bullied.

Isn't it too pitiful for a prince to mess around to the point where no one cares about him, and he goes to take a cold bath by himself?

Qi Baili's hair was extremely thick, Pei Ruzhou was still dry after wiping for a long time, and even his sleeves were wet by the other party's hair.

Pei Ruzhou rolled up his sleeves subconsciously.

At the same time, Qi Baili's eyes suddenly fell on Pei Ruzhou's wrist.

He saw that there was a line of fine tattoos here.

When Pei Ruzhou was playing the pipa in the Suihan Palace, Qi Baili had just caught a glimpse.He didn't pay attention at that time, but today he finally couldn't help looking at Pei Ruzhou's wrist.

"The pine and catalpa are far and near the thousand official tombs, and the millet is high and low for the six generations of palaces." [1]

What was tattooed on Pei Ruzhou's wrist was a poem.

Noticing Qi Baili's gaze, Pei Ruzhou glanced at his wrist indifferently, and said to him with a smile: "You're looking at this, isn't the wording a bit ugly?"

Hearing what he said, Qi Baili realized that the tattoo on Pei Ruzhou's hand was indeed not neat, but it must not be called ugly.

"No, it's beautiful."

"It was stabbed by someone from the Western Regions when I was a child. He couldn't write Chinese characters, so he did it like this."

"When you were young?"

This time, Qi Baili was really surprised.

The nobles of Dayi have never had tattoos, let alone had tattoos when they were young.

Probably seeing that he was curious, Pei Ruzhou explained with a smile: "There are several tattoo shops opened by people from the Western Regions at the Zhoulan Pass. I watched it for a few days and suddenly wanted to try it. Then I was beaten up by my father." After a meal..."

The tribes in the Western Regions had a tradition of tattooing children, and Pei Ruzhou had enough money that day, so the group of people took over the job without even thinking about it.

But they made money, and when they returned home, Pei Ruzhou was almost expelled from the house by the general.

"Doesn't it hurt to get stabbed here?"

"It doesn't hurt." Seeing Qi Baili was curious, Pei Ruzhou hung his wrist in front of his eyes, and said casually, "I'm not afraid of pain, even—"

Speaking of this, Pei Ruzhou suddenly swallowed the following words.

Even, I still kind of like this feeling.

For example, when he played the pipa last time, his fingers were clearly twisted by the strings, but Pei Ruzhou felt happy...

Pei Ruzhou was distracted, he didn't see it, Qi Baili couldn't help raising his hand slightly, as if he wanted to touch his wrist.

But he only raised it once, and then he retracted his hand.

Pei Ruzhou was born beautiful, in Qi Baili's eyes, this is essentially a tattoo of a scar, and it is also beautiful.

Shockingly beautiful.

He couldn't help but imagine what it must have been like when the scar was bleeding.

Thinking of this, Qi Baili suddenly closed his eyes tightly, trying to suppress this thought back to the bottom of his heart.

Can't scare him.

How dare a person who rolled out of the mud think about the moonlight in the sky?

For the first time, Qi Bai despised his despicableness in his heart.

……

Pei Ruzhou stayed until late at night before leaving.

He didn't know that after he left, Qi Baili stared at the oats on the table in a daze for a long time.

The boy who had been starving for a whole day, his stomach was already numb, but he was still reluctant to wash it away with hot water as Pei Ruzhou said.

Qi Baili put it away carefully, and put it beside the lyre.

Unlike the imperial palace, Guijin Palace is pitch black at night.

When going back, Pei Ruzhou also slowed down a lot.

And just when he had walked halfway and was about to reach his destination, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the distance.

"What is that..." Pei Ruzhou stopped immediately.

The black shadow was a certain distance away from him, but Pei Ruzhou, who had already adapted to the darkness, still managed to see the other person's appearance clearly with a little moonlight...

This dark red Hu suit is clearly the one that Helian Weiya wore during the day!

But the facial features of the person in front of him are more refined, and his temperament is unruly...only six or seven points similar to that man from the Western Regions.

wrong!

Pei Ruzhou suddenly realized that the "Helian Weiya" he had seen during the day should be easy to bear!

The legendary "Disguise Technique" is not as magical as in the martial arts storybooks.It can't completely change a person's appearance, it can only dull the facial features...

So, the person in front of him is the real Helian Weiya!

A person from the Western Regions who has been easily tolerated, these words are full of danger everywhere.

Pei Ruzhou silently took a step back, planning to slip away from somewhere else.

But it was a coincidence that at this moment, Helian Weiya actually noticed him!

While those blue eyes were looking at Pei Ruzhou, he suddenly had a sense of familiarity that couldn't be ignored - he had seen him somewhere before.
