Chapter 143 The blood from his body soaked in her skin
On the not-so-wide mountain road outside Chang'an, countless luxurious and magnificent carriages arrived in the wind. It was early spring, and the breeze lifted the silk curtains, and you could vaguely see the noble people sitting inside.
And these people, without exception, looked in awe when they got off the bus, looking at the unremarkable mounds not far away.
A few of the older people got off the car and bowed from a distance, and began to cry that the late king could not see his great cause coming to fruition.
King Wei's carriage stopped next to the stone house of the tomb keeper. It was equipped with a black horse and a golden chariot. Pei Zhi, wearing a Gunmian red coat, with a smile on his lips, helped Yu Tingwan get down from the high beam.
The Pei family members came together. Because of the incident with Marquis Gaolingting, these people did not dare to go beyond the rules even if they saw Princess Wei being gentle.
Before the sacrifice began, Pei Zhi's voice was cold: "My wife is happy to be quiet."
After those people left, Yu Tingwan glanced at the man next to him and saw him staring at her with lowered eyes and said, "You think you are noisy, but you say I like silence."
He smiled and whispered: "They are close to me, so I can't talk to you."
After speaking, he looked at the clan members not far away, leaned close to Yu Tingwan's ear, and told her the identities and official positions of these people one by one.
She also knew many of them, but it was the first time today that their faces and names met.
During the sacrifice, everyone listened to articles praising the late king, and then performed four bows. Wine made from black millet and fragrant herbs was poured on the ground, music was played on all sides, and the sound of bells and bells was solemn and elegant.
After the banquet was over, the clan members were given a feast, and the wine and meat used for the sacrifice were rewarded. There were hundreds of tomb-keepers here, almost forming a village of their own. Both the cooks and the maids serving the banquet guests were waiting in the village.
Pei Zhi sat next to Yu Tingwan and whispered: "Wanwan, if you don't like Yanzhou food, eat some pastries first, and we will go to Dongguang Tower tonight."
Even though he knew that no one else could hear him, Yu Tingwan still couldn't help but glare at him.
These clan members are all from Yanzhou. What is he talking about? She whispered: "Don't talk nonsense."
Yu Tingwan glanced at his pair of chopsticks and said softly, "It's obvious that you don't like it."
They didn't even touch the food and wine in front of them.
Pei Zhi laughed and did not refute, turning his face to look at her.
Yu Tingwan looked past him and saw Pei Ke next to him. She couldn't help but frown, lowered her eyes and asked softly: "Is it because of what I said last time..."
Because she was afraid of Pei Ke last time, he happened to be sitting on her right, blocking the man.
According to etiquette, he should sit on his left side, with her and Pei Ke next to each other.
Yu Tingwan's words were interrupted before he could ask, because Pei Ke suddenly fainted and dense red rashes appeared on his arms.
An elderly clan member stepped forward, took a look, and said with a slight hiss: "Marquis Wan seems to be unable to eat fish. He ate a piece of it when he was a child, which made the old lady very distressed."
Pei Zhi silently glanced at the man lying on the ground. The old lady they were talking about was his grandmother, whom he had never seen before.
He said: "Take Marquis Wan to the stone house and go to the village to find a doctor."
The stone house is close to the tomb of the late king, and there are tombkeepers there every night. It is quite clean and spacious.
The maid carried Pei Ke towards the stone house and inevitably passed by King Wei's desk.
The unconscious man suddenly jumped up, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed King Wei directly in the heart.
The moment he took action, a silver chopstick flew out of King Wei's hand. It could have stabbed Pei Ke through the throat, but Pei Ke turned around and the silver chopstick was inserted into his shoulder.
As if the assassin could not feel the pain, the dagger suddenly turned towards the woman beside King Wei.
Yu Tingwan's face turned pale. It only took a few seconds from Pei Ke's violence to the moment the dagger approached him.
During today's banquet, everyone was sitting on the futon with their knees bent. It took only a few seconds for one person to stand up.
Just when she clearly saw the cold light flashing on the dagger, she suddenly fell into a familiar embrace.
Yu Tingwan fell backwards and fell to the ground. The person holding her had one hand protecting the back of her head and the other hand around her waist, protecting her tightly.
The tip of her nose hit Pei Zhi's chest, which hurt a little. She couldn't see his face, but only felt warm blood in her hand.
Her mind went blank, as if a long and sharp sound was scratching her ears, causing a numb and itchy line to climb up her back, and a soreness in her nose, eyes and throat.
The hand protecting the back of her head moved slightly to cover one of her ears, and Yu Tingwan vaguely heard a murmur.
"Wanwan, don't listen."
She recovered from the confusion just now, but she heard someone not far away yelling angrily: "You will not die well if you force people to kill their wives and children..."
It was mixed with all kinds of obscene words, which were unbearable to the ears. He suddenly paused, and his mouth must have been blocked.
The person covering her finally moved and stood up.
Suddenly there was light in front of her eyes. She squinted her eyes slightly and saw only a pool of blood on the ground. Two maids helped her up and said softly: "Serve the princess to change clothes in the carriage."
Yu Tingwan lowered his head. He was covered in blood, especially his upper body. Even the hem of his skirt was stained with red spots.
She suddenly noticed someone touching her hair gently, blinked, and then struggled to remember who the man covered in blood was in front of her.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Pei Zhi's face was pale and he could barely smile.
Several clan members around him had seen him on the battlefield, and they seemed to have the same idea as he did, and they did not step forward to help him.
It was just a stab in the right shoulder with the dagger, and it did not hurt the heart. It was nothing on the battlefield.
Today, Chi Ying was on the stone platform in the distance, paying attention to the movements at the bottom of the mountain. When he heard what happened, he was stunned for a moment, and followed Pei Zhi to the stone house to treat his wounds.
"The King of Wei has just told you that if you have important matters to discuss with Marquis Boping, the princess cannot follow you." The maid who was supporting Yu Tingwan saw that she wanted to go to the stone house and quickly stopped her.
"Really? He just said this, I didn't hear it." She was a little suspicious, maybe her ears were broken.
Another maid said cautiously: "King Wei did say this and gave many instructions. The princess may have been frightened and did not hear clearly."
Yu Tingwan nodded slowly, said hello, and went to change clothes in the carriage.
The carriage approached the stone house, which was extremely spacious inside. She took off her dark clothes and looked at it carefully. The lotus pattern embroidered with gold threads also turned into blood color and was no longer brilliant.
She took off her clothes one by one, and each piece was stained with blood. In the end, she looked down at the dried blood on her chest.
Through the layers of clothes, the blood from his body soaked into her skin.
After Yu Tingwan wiped off the dark red marks on his body bit by bit, he suddenly didn't want to move. He wanted to keep sitting in the carriage, waiting for someone to come up, and then leave this ghost place.
The maid who was guarding outside waited for a long time, but did not wait for the princess to come out. She called several times, but no one answered.
The maids looked a little flustered. Thinking of the princess being numb all the way, could they have fainted from fright? There was a maid serving in the inner room of Guanjuyuan who was most worried. She opened the curtain and went in. She was stunned for a moment.
A woman wearing only a medium coat sat on a soft cushion, curled up into a ball, holding herself with her slender arms, her head buried and her expression unclear.
"Princess." The maid called her softly, "I will help you get dressed."
"No need." Yu Tingwan finally spoke, raised her head, her expression was abnormally calm, and she put on a dark dress woven with silver and vermillion lotus patterns and gold brocade.
She walked outside the stone house and saw Chi Ying coming out. She suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and even scratched the back of the boy's hand with her nails. She was so shocked that he almost jumped up. His face that was originally smelly looked like dye had been spilled, and he stumbled and said: "Princess, men and women cannot be intimate with each other."
Yu Tingwan let go of his hand and asked him, "How is King Wei injured?"
"It's nothing serious." Chi Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully checked the dagger and found that it was not contaminated with poison.
She nodded upon hearing this and was about to enter the stone house, but was stopped by Chi Ying.
"Marquis Boping is still inside, and now..." Chi Ying seemed to be thinking of words, "I'm a little excited. It's best for the princess not to go in."
Yu Tingwan was silent for a moment, planning to wait outside for Marquis Boping to come out. The maid helped her sit down on the stone bench in the small courtyard.
I don’t know what the people inside are saying. Their voices are getting higher and higher, and a few words can be vaguely heard.
