Chapter 193: Extra Eleven: New Life (Pei Ji and Jiang Rou)
Jiang Rou's heart trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, but when she stepped over the threshold, she felt a chill on the back of her neck.
Strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, and hot breath fell on her neck.
"Rou'er, don't go."
The hot kiss came without any warning.
He said nothing, but broke into her warm world again and again.
Jiang Rou was held in his arms, feeling both panicked and obsessed.
"Brother Aji, I'm sorry..."
"fool."
He kissed her, held her, and rose and fell.
"Only in dreams can you be so well behaved."
Jiang Rou didn't know whether to be happy or sad. It turned out that Pei Ji was just drunk and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
Okay.
Let her sink once more.
Only such beautiful memories can support her and help her live the rest of her life without him.
Outside the window, the moonlight is faint and the stars are brilliant.
Inside the window, there was a violent storm and a sea of clouds rolling.
Before leaving, Jiang Rou took out two white jade pendants.
It was a jade pendant left to him by his father, a symbol of the clan leader's power. It was white, round, and had peach blossom patterns on it.
She went to a jewelry store during the day and cut the jade pendant into two halves.
She thought that one day, when she could escape from the devil's cave, she would tie the jade pendant around Pei Ji's neck. However, she didn't expect that she would meet him so soon.
After dressing both of them, she pinched Pei Ji's wrist and felt his pulse.
He drank a lot, and she was afraid that something might happen to him.
All this pulse didn't matter. She actually discovered that there was an overbearing, chaotic coldness in Pei Ji's body that came from nowhere.
Judging from the activity of this cold poison, it must have just entered his body not long ago, no more than two days.
She naturally thought of Xiao Yuli.
But it was too late. She had to return to the East Palace immediately, otherwise, the lives of all her clansmen would be lost in her hands.
"Brother Aji, you have to wait for me. Although we are not destined to be husband and wife, I will definitely find a way to detoxify you. Wait for me, understand?"
The only response she received was heavy and even breathing.
It’s okay if he doesn’t remember.
Jiang Rou sighed lightly and quickly left the house.
The next day, Pei Ji woke up slowly and was smiling bitterly at the beautiful dream of yesterday when he suddenly found a jade pendant around his neck.
Semicircular, white, with peach blossom pattern.
That was not a dream, Rouer really came!
Does that mean that Rou'er has her own reasons?
——
The streets are crowded with people and the sound of music.
According to Xiao Yuli's plan, he would give Jiang Rou the most grand wedding.
The wedding procession set out from the Eastern Palace, made a big circle around the capital, and finally returned to the Eastern Palace.
The purpose is to tell everyone in the city, especially to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, that Jiang Rou is his, Xiao Yuli's, woman!
Jiang Rou sat in a sedan chair carried by twelve people, her face looking even uglier than when she was visiting a grave.
She would rather die than marry Xiao Yuli.
But she couldn't die. She had to rescue her people and find a way to cure Pei Ji's cold poison.
It’s better to live.
Just living in such a cowardly and painful way.
After she sees Pei Ji get married and have children, and has no worries, she will go and find her own home.
Thinking of this, suddenly——
"Boom..."
The sound of orderly horse hooves resounded through the sky. Pei Ji actually brought the Black Hawk Army to snatch the bride!
Doesn’t this fool want to live anymore?
Even if you don't want to live, you shouldn't sacrifice the Black Hawk Army and the entire Yongyi Marquis Mansion!
Jiang Rou opened the curtain of the sedan chair and shouted, "Who asked you to come? Go away!"
Pei Ji's eyes were red as he fought hard. "If you take the jade pendant, I will be half the leader of the Lingyuan clan. What? Do you want to deny your debt?"
"……Fool!"
Jiang Rou was angry, happy, nervous and scared.
If he succeeds, what will happen to his tribe?
If he fails, what will they do?
Suddenly, thousands of archers emerged from the roofs on both sides of the street, and icy arrows whizzed down like a silver rainstorm.
The sounds of swords clashing, screams, and the cries of the people fleeing came together, making Jiang Rou dizzy.
When he came to his senses again, Pei Ji had transformed into a monster with silver hair, bloodshot eyes, and screaming in pain.
He kept roaring and fighting until the soldiers fell down row by row, and until several arrows pierced his chest!
“Pei Ji——!!!”
Jiang Rou screamed and ran out of the sedan chair, came to him and hugged him in her arms.
The rain of arrows also stopped soon after.
"Brother Aji, please don't die, I beg you!"
She sobbed in pain, feeling as if her heart had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
But Pei Ji still held her face in his hands, smiling as he did when he first met her.
"Rou'er, don't be afraid...Rou'er, don't cry...Rou'er...I'm sorry..."
He shed tears and sighed softly, "Do you know that I woke up the day after I fell into the lake. I... I like... I like Sister Rou'er so much, but... I'm not blessed to be your... husband."
"Who said that? You are my only husband, and that will never change in this life!"
Jiang Rou's hands were shaking uncontrollably, and she found it difficult to breathe, but she still lowered her head and kissed him.
The corners of the young man's lips curled up in satisfaction, but his arms dropped mercilessly.
Xiao Yuli, who was riding on the imperial horse, said coldly, "The Black Hawk Army followed the Great Protector General in committing treason and rebellion; they shall be executed immediately!"
“Who dares!”
Jiang Rou placed Pei Ji steadily on the ground and slowly stood up.
"If you dare to touch them again, you'll marry my corpse! Kill them if you dare! Kill them!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs, as if she had used up all her strength.
Finally, her vision went black and she fell to the ground with a thud.
When she woke up, Xiao Yuli told her that her tribesmen and the Black Hawk Army were safe, but Pei Ji had been thrown into a mass grave and his body had been mutilated.
Marquis Yongyi already had old injuries, and upon hearing the news, he was so grief-stricken that he vomited blood and died. His wife also died soon after, after hitting her coffin.
Zhou Dian sneaked into the East Palace and found her as soon as possible.
"I already said I don't agree to this marriage..."
Jiang Rouru looked as if she was dead, her eyes were dull, and she ignored him.
"His Majesty has given me this token. I will rescue you and your people from the palace and take you to a secluded place. Come with me!"
Jiang Rou did not respond to him, but snatched the token and ordered his men to throw him out of the East Palace.
"Just pretend I never mentioned anything about retirement. I'm sorry!"
That night, Jiang Rou took the token to find the old emperor and became his nominal concubine.
The Lingyuan clan was finally saved, and everything in the Yongyi Marquis Mansion was firmly in her hands.
Concubine Rou was arrogant and domineering. Since the day she was given the title, she had been running rampant and acting tyrannically in the palace.
She will hurt anyone who provokes her.
He even sent twenty groups of assassins to kill Xiao Yuli within a month.
Not only did he fail to kill her, but he was warned by the old emperor:
"I can agree to all your requests, but the Crown Prince cannot be touched."
"Okay." Then I'll wait until you die.
Not long after, the old emperor passed away, Xiao Yuli succeeded to the throne, and Jiang Rou was soon diagnosed with pregnancy.
A few months later, she gave birth to a baby boy, named "Heng" from the Chinese character "Yu".
Xiao Yuli came to congratulate according to etiquette. When he saw Jiang Rou again, her eyes were full of indifference and arrogance.
"Rou Rou, I never thought that the emperor father would want you. It's all my fault for not protecting you well. Tell me, why has our relationship been so bumpy?"
He walked forward with a distressed look on his face, wanting to stroke her cheek.
Jiang Rou dodged it lightly.
Inside Changchun Palace, green smoke curled up and a strange fragrance lingered.
Xiao Yuli looked down as usual, and his expression suddenly changed.
Jiang Rou raised her plump lips and spoke slowly:
"Your Majesty, I won't see you off!"
The almighty emperor left in a hurry, and Jiang Rou's eyes were filled with coldness.
Xiao Yuli, this is just the beginning.
The hatred for killing one's husband is irreconcilable.
So what if I'm a woman? So what if I'm alone?
One day, I will rebel against this world and overthrow this country!
