Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

In the dim dungeon, the woman huddled in a corner, shivering. She looked around anxiously, her bright and beautiful face covered with tear-stained makeup.

Time passed minute by minute, the woman's huge eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and suddenly there were footsteps in the distance, her fragile nerves tensed up in an instant, and a humming sound came from her mouth.

When the eunuch in Xue Shenyi's cell pushed open the chained door, his eyes fell on the nervous woman.

She was still wearing the thin inner garment she had worn when serving the emperor during the day. Now the white inner garment was covered in dirt, and she looked like a refugee who had just returned from a famine. There was no trace of the familiar dignity at all.

Xue Shenyi raised his hand and signaled the eunuchs on guard to retreat.

Then he said with a smile: "Madam Huipin, I am here to see you off."

Upon hearing this, Huipin suddenly raised her head and blinked nervously, with confusion in her lifeless eyes.

Then she seemed to have seen someone, with tears in her eyes.

"Noble Concubine Xiang, are you here to save me?"

Huipin rolled over and tugged at Xue Shenyi's trouser leg, grinning: "My Lady, you finally came to save me!"

"Yes, I'm here to see you." Xue Shenyi raised his toes and lifted Huipin's chin lightly.

Xue Shenyi looked at her face and sighed, "You are old."

"Yes, I'm old." Huipin touched her face, and her expression gradually became ferocious: "So the emperor wants the eunuch to peel off my skin! He wants to peel off my skin!"

She said with a smile and tears that she didn't feel any pain even though her nails were digging into her skin.

Huipin tightly grasped the corner of Xue Shenyi's clothes, her eyes full of hope: "My lady, you are here to save me, right?"

Xue Shenyi's voice sounded faintly: "But I was already dead. You were the one who had my skin peeled off. Have you forgotten?"

Huipin's hand suddenly loosened, and the figure of Xue Shenyi in front of her gradually blurred and turned into a bloody face. She held her head and let out a sharp scream.

Xue Shenyi looked at her and said, "Princess Hui, please take a closer look at who I am."

Huipin held her head and shook it continuously, her eyes moving around, and she looked at Xue Shenyi through her fingers.

After a long time, she slowly put down her hand, and her cracked lips moved: "It's you, Xue Shenyi."

"It seems that Concubine Hui has regained consciousness."

Xue Shenyi chuckled.

Huipin stared at his face, licked her lips, and said viciously: "Why didn't I find out earlier? You look so much like that bitch! I didn't even notice it! If I had found out, how could I have let you end up in this position today!"

Her voice was hoarse and she shouted as unpleasantly as a broken gong.

Xue Shenyi listened and said with a smile: "Yes, Concubine Hui would never have thought that after so many years, my family has actually been in the palace all along."

"..."

Huipin bit her lower lip in silence.

Xue Shenyi walked slowly to a pile of torture instruments, tapped them lightly with his fingertips, and asked in a good mood: "Empress Hui, choose one and see which knife you like for skinning."

Huipin trembled all over.

"Since your majesty is silent, let me choose a few for you."

Xue Shenyi hummed an unknown tune and picked up a few knives and put them on the plate.

He put the plate on the table and introduced it to Huipin: "Madam, this knife can cut iron like mud. It can easily peel off the muscles and skin on your face without damaging your beautiful face."

"This knife can peel off some of the skin corners connecting the bones on your body."

"And this..."

As he introduced the story, Huipin trembled even more violently.

She suddenly rushed towards Xue Shenyi, grabbed a knife from the plate and stabbed Xue Shenyi fiercely.

It all happened so fast that Huipin's eyes widened and the knife in her hand slipped to the ground. She raised her hand and wiped her bleeding neck, not knowing what had happened.

"Ah...ah..."

She wanted to say something, but made an unpleasant sound weakly. Then her body went limp and fell to the ground, completely out of breath.

Xue Shenyi raised his leg and kicked her body, saying with regret: "What a pity for this skin."

Zhong Fan waited outside the dungeon for a long time. When he saw Xue Shenyi coming out, he hurriedly asked the eunuch to pour the boiled hot water into the basin.

Zhong Fan handed the hot handkerchief to Xue Shenyi.

Xue Shenyi wiped his bloody hands and said calmly: "Wash them and send them to His Majesty later."

"Yes." Zhong Fan responded cautiously, and calmly accepted the task of washing this thing.

When he first started washing, Zhong Fan was still vomiting all over the place, but now he is more used to it after doing it for the first time.

Xue Shenyi: "The day after tomorrow we will bring the Queen to the palace. Are the things ready?"

Zhong Fan nodded: "Everything is ready."

Xue Shenyi nodded and threw the handkerchief into the basin. The water in the basin instantly turned blood red.

Like a girl’s red wedding dress.

"My queen is so beautiful."

The nanny from the palace looked at Pei Yu's face in the bronze mirror and said.

The girl in the bronze mirror was lightly made up, and her originally delicate face became brighter and her eyes were charming.

Pei Yu shyly twisted the handkerchief between his fingers.

The system clicked its tongue twice [Dung beetle wearing flowery clothes, you are so shameless in pretending.]

Pei Yu smiled [Please go away gracefully.]

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

There was a shout outside the door, and the nanny responded and covered Pei Yu with a red veil.

After he could no longer see everything in front of him, Pei Yu could only see the small space under his feet.

After leaving the mansion, Pei Yu was supported by the nanny and walked down the stairs.

A pair of shoes appeared in front of Pei Yu, followed by a pleasant voice: "Mammy, leave it to our family."

"Yes, Master."

The nanny handed Pei Yu's hand to Xue Shenyi.

The touch was smooth. Xue Shenyi looked at the hand that was slightly smaller than his own, and his heart moved slightly.

He gently held the hand. It was different from the girl's hand he imagined. This hand had distinct joints and slender fingers. It was as beautiful as a finely carved porcelain, but not soft.

Xue Shenyi held Pei Yu's hand and said, "My lady, be careful where you step."

"Thank you for the seal."

Pei Yu stepped onto the stepping stool, his body swayed suddenly, and a pair of hands firmly grasped his waist to steady him.

"Is everything alright, Madam?"

"Nothing." Pei Yu shook his head.

Xue Shenyi looked at the swaying curtain and pinched his fingers, which seemed to still have a little body temperature left.

So thin.

It felt like he could wrap his arm around it.

Xue Shenyi took one step forward and jumped onto the horse.

"Return to the palace!"

He waved his hand and the suona started playing.
