Chapter 235 Escape from the capital?
The hands in his sleeves clenched slightly.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze cold and stern: "I will not die, and you will not replace me."
It was a face that was almost 90% similar to hers.
After taking off the veil, apart from the subtle difference between the mouth and nose, even Pei Jingxu herself felt dazed.
Except for those who have been with her for many years, almost no one can tell the difference in that face.
"I originally thought that a gentleman like Rong Jianxue, who is so beautiful, would like women who are clean, elegant, quiet and reserved. But who would have thought that he would like someone like you..." Bai Shutong looked at her and sneered, "Besides being pretty, you have nothing else to offer."
"That's much simpler than I thought," Bai Shutong smiled, his brows curved. "As long as I'm prettier, more charming, and more delicate than you, do you think Rong Jianxue will still like you?"
He looked at Pei Jingxu with a half-smile, his eyes seeming to pierce through her: "Isn't this how you won his favor in the first place?"
"Pei Jingxu, you've been so calculating and cautious at every step that you can barely stand by Rong Jianxue's side. But I'm different," Bai Shutong smiled. "For me, appearance is the easiest thing to change."
"I just need to spend some points and I can get any look I want."
The reason why she slowly changed her appearance was that she didn't want to attract the attention of people around her. She wanted everyone to know that she was Bai Shutong, but more beautiful and eye-catching than Pei Jingxu!
"What do you think of my face?" Bai Shutong stroked his cheek with satisfaction. "It's more charming and stunning than yours, and more lovable."
Pei Jingxu also looked at her with an indifferent expression: "Is your Majesty's poisoning also related to you?"
Bai Shutong nodded without disguising, "Poisoning is easy for me."
She has a system to rely on. Whatever she wants to get or what she wants to do, she only needs to exchange some points and she can easily achieve her goal.
Her only setbacks and failures were caused by Rong Jianxue.
——She was unwilling to accept it.
Pei Jingxu looked at her coldly: "Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will find out about your poisoning?"
Bai Shutong smiled and shook his head: "The world will only know that it was you, Pei Jingxu, who, in order to avenge the Pei family, painstakingly approached Rong Jianxue, and then waited for an opportunity to approach the emperor, intending to poison His Majesty."
Pei Jingxu frowned: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, Pei Jingxu, I want you to take the blame for me."
Pei Jingxu sneered, "Bai Shutong, what makes you think I'll take the blame for you?"
"Pei Huaifeng."
The moment Bai Shutong said this name, Pei Jingxu pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and pressed it against Bai Shutong's throat.
The sharp hairpin pierced her skin and drops of blood rolled down.
Seeing the blood, a flash of panic passed through Bai Shutong's eyes, but he quickly recovered and continued to look at her provocatively.
Pei Jingxu's eyes were as cold as frost, and the corners of his eyes were stained red: "If you dare to touch him, we will die together."
Bai Shutong heard this and sneered, "Pei Jingxu, you're just a supporting character. What qualifications do you have to die with me?"
The silver hairpin pierced into her flesh a little more, but this time, not a drop of blood flowed out.
"Besides, didn't Pei Huaifeng tell you how he escaped from death row, how he was rescued, and how he returned to the capital after so much hardship?"
In an instant, Pei Jingxu remembered the "woman" who helped him a lot as Xiaofeng mentioned.
Pei Jingxu opened his mouth and widened his eyes, but could not make a sound.
She wanted to say something, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and she felt choked and suffocated.
"If it weren't for me, if it weren't for my system, he would have been a corpse like your father by now."
"Haha, Pei Jingxu, do you know? He fell in love with me the first time he saw me. He thought I was some weak woman who couldn't even lift a finger. He helped and saved me time and time again, and he was willing to die for me!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Jingxu growled, his eyes bloodshot. "Xiaofeng won't die for anyone. He only belongs to himself!"
"Pei Jingxu, what nonsense are you talking about?" He said, as if he had heard a funny joke. "You, Pei Huaifeng, even Emperor Rong Jianxue, are all just fictional characters created in a storybook."
"All men will fall in love with me. This is their fate that they cannot defy. In other words, they are programmed to love me."
It's ridiculous to say that this world only belongs to him. This world only exists for her.
"Rescuing Pei Huaifeng cost me a lot of points. Pei Jingxu, do you think Pei Huaifeng will have a good ending if I die?"
She approached Pei Jingxu step by step, even allowing the silver hairpin to pierce her flesh.
Pei Jingxu frowned and pulled the hairpin away suddenly!
The hairpin clearly pierced her flesh a little, but only a few drops of blood fell out. Apart from that, there was no wound at all.
"Pei Jingxu, I only give you one choice," Bai Shutong smiled as he wiped the blood from his neck. In a moment, the wound had healed. "Flee from the capital with the charge of poisoning His Majesty. I can help you escape the Third Prince's pursuit."
"If you refuse, I will take back all the points I used on Pei Huaifeng. I believe that it won't be long before he is discovered by the Emperor. According to his original plot, he will die without a burial place."
Pei Jingxu's voice was low, with a muteness he himself hadn't noticed: "If you want me to escape with the accusation, why don't you just use your system to frame me and let the emperor punish me?"
"That's a different Pei Jingxu," Bai Shutong smiled, "If you really die, no matter how hard I try, I will never be as good as a dead person in Rong Jianxue's eyes."
Death is an extremely interesting and romantic thing. It can make people forget all the stains and bad deeds of the deceased, and let those who miss her only remember her beauty and movingness.
——Bai Shutong can’t beat a dead person.
"Besides, I'm the heroine. How can a heroine have bad intentions and frame others?"
Of course the heroine has to be alone, and those supporting actresses can only be jealous of her beauty, and they deserve it and dig their own graves.
——She can't just kill people directly.
Looking at Pei Jingxu in front of him, Bai Shutong said condescendingly: "Now, tell me your answer."
"Do you want Pei Huaifeng to die, or do you want him to flee the capital under my accusation and never come back?"
--
Forbidden City, Imperial Palace.
Rong Jianxue’s eyes were cold and he looked at Shen Huaichen standing in front of him with an indifferent expression.
Shen Huaichen was wearing armor, with a cold smile in his eyes.
"Master Young Master intends to poison His Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"
Rong Jianxue glanced at the sun outside.
——It’s almost noon.
He promised her that he would return home for lunch at noon today.
