Chapter 233 Come accompany us...
Silent, yet chaotic.
Rong Jianxue left Pei Jingxu in the mansion and kept Jiang Hui by her side.
"It's not a big deal, don't worry," Rong Jianxue said calmly, as convincing as ever. "Just wait for me. I'll be back before lunch."
Pei Jingxu twitched the corners of his mouth and gave the man a dependent smile: "I'll listen to you."
When Rong Jianxue left, he asked Jiang Hui to bring him his sword.
That seemed to be the first time Pei Jingxu saw Rong Jianxue holding a sword and filled with murderous intent.
Watching Rong Jianxue leave, Pei Jingxu frowned slightly and inadvertently saw the autumn leaves falling in the courtyard.
His face darkened slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in Pei Jingxu's eyes.
She discovered that the plot of the later part of the story was completely different from what she knew.
In the original plot, there was no emperor being poisoned, but now, the emperor is seriously ill.
It happened too quickly and too suddenly, as if the plot was about to move on from her corpse and return to normal.
Pei Jingxu was protected by Rong Jianxue in this mansion.
Even across several streets, Pei Jingxu could hear the grand and magnificent ceremony of worshiping the sky.
The city of Chang'an seemed to have fallen into a state of emergency overnight. On the surface, everything was peaceful, but the Forbidden City was shrouded in dark clouds and no sunlight could be seen.
Rationally speaking, Pei Jingxu was not very worried about Rong Jianxue's safety.
Although many plots have changed from the original story, Rong Jianxue is smart and calm, and his wisdom is almost magical. Even if he really encounters any danger, I think he will be able to turn it into safety.
But what if?
Pei Jingxu frowned, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
In the original plot, she should have died long ago, but because she changed the plot, she is still alive today.
Pei Huaifeng died long ago in the original plot, but he is still alive now.
If the life and death of others in the original plot can really be changed, then will Rong Jianxue... die?
How is that possible?
Pei Jingxu frowned and put the idea behind him.
Anyone can die, but Rong Jianxue won't.
He is a lone person who can resist the halo of the heroine.
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu took a deep breath and returned to the bedroom.
Jiang Hui was left by Rong Jianxue's side.
Jiang Hui seemed more relaxed than Rong Jianxue about going to the imperial city alone.
He could even smile and comfort Pei Jingxu: "Pei... Madam, don't worry. The master has always done things properly. Nothing will happen."
Hearing Jiang Hui say this, Pei Jingxu felt relieved.
Because the imperial edict came so quickly, Pei Jingxu woke up too early. Now that he had let down his guard, he felt extremely tired again.
Seeing Pei Jingxu yawn, Jiang Hui smiled and said, "Madam, please go and rest for a while. Breakfast will be a while away."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu nodded and let Hongyao help him go back to his room to rest.
…
On the bed, Pei Jingxu had a nightmare.
In the dream, every step of the Forbidden City was stained with blood.
Countless bloodstains flowed down from the blue bricks at the highest point, paving the blue road in blood.
Climbing up the stone steps step by step, Pei Jingxu saw the person standing at the highest point.
She held a long sword in her hand, her body was covered in blood, not a single clean spot.
Blood flowed through her body, and the sword in her hand was blunt because she had killed too many people. When she noticed the person coming, her eyes were fixed on Pei Jingxu!
Like a hideous ghost!
But the more Pei Jingxu looked at that face, the more familiar it seemed to him.
Their eyebrows and face shapes are similar, and even the curve of the corners of their lips is very similar.
She seemed to be frozen in place, lost in thought.
When she saw Pei Jingxu, she tilted her head first, and a hint of mockery flashed in her empty and ferocious eyes.
"white--"
She wanted to call her name, but her throat seemed to be strangled by someone and she couldn't say a word!
The next second, the world was spinning, and Pei Jingxu suddenly felt something sticky under his feet.
She suddenly looked down and saw that the pile of corpses that was originally piled at Bai Shutong's feet had appeared at her feet at some point!
A sticky and bloody smell came, and she saw someone dying in the mountain of corpses. He stretched out a trembling bloody hand and grabbed her ankle tightly!
A huge panic arose from his heart, Pei Jingxu widened his eyes and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his hands!
The next second, countless bloody hands, as if unwilling to give up, climbed up her body step by step along her ankles, covered her mouth and nose, covered her eyes, and dragged her down, as if they wanted to drag her into the mountain of corpses!
"You deserve to die too..."
"You should have died..."
"We are all dead, why are you still alive..."
"Come and accompany us..."
"Come and accompany us..."
Pei Jingxu widened her eyes, and in her blurred vision, she seemed to see... her father.
Dad was shouting and crying, his eyes were full of devastation and resentment.
"Ah Xu, come down and accompany Daddy..."
"You should have died, right?"
The shouts turned into gentle coaxing.
They surrounded her and gave her earnest advice.
"A Xu, come and accompany us..."
"The water in the lotus pond isn't cold..."
"A Xu, it's time for our family to be reunited..."
“…”
Each cry seemed to be accusing her of escaping and accusing her of being a "deserter."
"This is our fate..."
"We are bad guys, we deserve to die at Bai Shutong's hands..."
"We should watch Bai Shutong step on our corpses and ascend to a higher position step by step..."
"Bai Shutong is the master of this world. We all live for her and die for her..."
"A Xu, you shouldn't have run away..."
"A Xu, die with us..."
The sticky touch blocked Pei Jingxu's vision.
On the high platform, Bai Shutong, with a face almost exactly like hers, smiled charmingly.
The blood on her body, the pile of corpses at her feet, and the bloodstains on her face all faded away.
She stood at the highest point like a fairy, standing tall and pure, smiling as she watched her being pulled down again and again.
The next second, her eyebrows furrowed, the corners of her eyes turned red, and tears burst out of her eyes.
Rong Jianxue was dressed in white, spotless, and stood beside Bai Shutong.
As if she had been greatly frightened, Bai Shutong hugged the man's waist and told him about her fear and grievances.
Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Shutong, his expression unclear.
"She's not..."
She is not Pei Jingxu.
Pei Jingxu opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but all the sounds were strangled by a pair of bloody hands, leaving him with only difficult breathing.
"Rong Jianxue..."
She murmured, and her vision was finally completely blocked by a pair of bloody hands.
She was trapped in the mountain of corpses, and like all the damn supporting characters, she was no longer able to make a sound.
At the last moment before being dragged down, she heard Bai Shutong's soft and innocent voice from the platform.
"Pei Jingxu, it's useless."
"I will become you, have everything you have, and live for you."
"Rong Jianxue!" Pei Jingxu suddenly sat up from the bed!
Gasping for breath, Pei Jingxu realized that his forehead and back were soaked with sweat.
Before she could come to her senses, Hongyao knocked on the door hurriedly and frantically.
"Miss, this is bad! Master Shaofu has been trapped in the palace by the Third Prince's team!"
