Chang Zuihou

Fang Hongfei stopped the bleeding for Li Xiao and had him tied up before he covered his face and escorted him out of Fenzhiju.

He looked at Ye Piao, who was drinking alone, and stepped forward and said, "It takes half a month to go to the capital, and Lord Hou has raised another batch of dead soldiers for use. If you meet these masters on the way to rob prisoners, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Daxia Ye, I wonder if you can bring Lord Hou back to the capital with us, so that His Majesty can reward you generously."

Fang Hongfei was not very satisfied with this result, he couldn't help but want to make the two people suffer more.

Because he suffers more than all of them.

At least, they have loved, but they are always alone.

Ye Piao drank a few gulps of wine before his mind slowly calmed down. He was silent for a moment, grabbed the sword on the table, and slowly stood up.

"Okay. I'll accompany you to escort him to the gate of the capital. But I won't ask for any reward."

Emperor Xiao Ling did not want more people to know about the rebellion of Ge Zi Hou Xiao Li, and ordered everyone involved in the matter to keep it a secret.

Especially the fact that Xiao Li has been captured and is about to be escorted to the capital must be kept secret.

For this reason, Xiao Ling deliberately left Commander Xue in the palace, and asked him to assist Fang Hongfei in secretly escorting Li Xiao back to the capital.

Fang Hongfei was helping Li Xiao, whose hands were tied behind his back, into the carriage. He didn't ask someone to connect the tendons to Li Xiao's feet. After all, Li Xiao's martial arts are very strong. If there is something wrong on the way, breaking his leg is better than letting him go. He ran well.

Besides, since this sword was pierced by Ye Piao, it's not bad for Chang Zuihou to remember that man's cruelty.

"Master Hou, slow down." Fang Hongfei felt Li Xiao's body shake, and hurriedly supported him.

Li Xiao turned his head to look at the expressionless Fang Hongfei. The severe pain from stepping on the pedal with his right foot really made him unstable.

"You don't need to worry about it."

Li Xiao hated him to death, if his hands hadn't been tied and his acupoints hadn't been restrained, he would have already killed the traitor who betrayed him.

Fang Hongfei silently helped Li Xiao to the car and asked him to sit against the wall, then Commander Xue came in with a bowl of medicine.

"Master Hou, in order to prevent you from causing trouble by shouting all the way, I have to wrong you to drink this dumb medicine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Hongfei immediately pinched Li Xiao's jaw tacitly.

Commander Xue immediately poured all the medicine into Li Xiao's mouth, choking him so hard that he coughed violently.

"You... you!" Li Xiao was able to utter a few words hoarsely at first, but gradually she opened her mouth and fell silent.

Commander Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry, the medicinal properties of this medicine are only half a month old. After half a month, Lord Hou will be able to speak freely again. But at that time, you must be in the prison!"

The pain in his throat was unbearable, Li Xiao panted heavily, leaned back with his eyes closed, and slowly opened his eyes after a while.

He looked at Commander Xue with a pale face, then at Fang Hongfei, and sneered at them with disdain.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Ye Piao came in with a sword.

Seeing the potion spilled on the bottom of the carriage, and Li Xiao who looked pained, he immediately asked calmly, "What's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing. It's a long way to go to the capital. We are afraid that there will be changes on the way, so we will let Lord Hou not speak for the time being."

Commander Xue triumphantly threw the medicine bowl out of the car, and ordered another pair of shackles.

He is the best at punishing repeat offenders in the strict prison mansion. What kind of royal relatives, once convicted, are no worse than pigs and dogs.

So as long as he got the chance, he would take good care of those high-ranking officials who dared to lord over his head. Watching them fall from the sky to his feet was really enjoyable.

Commander Xue walked up to Li Xiao with the shackles in hand, knelt down and smiled at him,

"Master Hou, you have excellent martial arts skills, and the villain dares not to keep you under strict supervision. If you offend me, I hope you will forgive me."

Fang Hongfei knew that although Commander Xue was sent by the emperor to assist him in escorting Li Xiao back to Beijing, after all, the other party was someone close to the emperor, so it was inconvenient for him to offend him.

Ye Piao sat in a corner, far away from them, he gently opened a corner of the curtain, looked at the bustling crowd outside, feeling a sense of loneliness in his heart.

Suddenly Ye Piao heard a suppressed moan.He clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and finally didn't look back.

Li Xiao was almost firmly locked up by shackles. From his neck to his hands and then to his feet, an iron chain connected the three places of shackles, binding him very tightly.

Commander Xue was about to put the last shackle on Li Xiao's right foot.

Probably the foot injury was not healed, and the shackles touched his wound as soon as it was locked.

"Uh..." Li Xiao flexed her right leg and struggled to avoid being locked, her head was pressed against the car wall, and she struggled backward desperately to free herself.

"Master Hou, don't move around anymore, let me lock you up, why bother yourself." Commander Xue held Li Xiao's leg with one hand, and grabbed the shackles with the other to tighten the lock teeth.

Seeing this, Fang Hongfei hurried up to hug the struggling Li Xiao, and whispered in his ear, "Master Hou, please be patient, just lock it up."

Li Xiao cast a pale sideways glance at Fang Hongfei, hating the traitor for still refusing to let him go and making him suffer such torture.

The injury on his right foot hadn't been properly taken care of, and now it was swollen to a high degree, but this pair of shackles were made close to the flesh, so it made him feel like he couldn't live without it.

Li Xiao knew that they intended to have their leg completely abolished.

Commander Xue took advantage of Fang Hongfei's embrace of Li Xiao, and finally closed the lock teeth of the shackles with all his strength.

The severe pain caused Li Xiao to struggle violently in Fang Hongfei's arms. He raised his head and opened his mouth, but he couldn't shout anything, only uttered a few vague groans.

"Master Hou, it's okay, it's okay."

It was the first time that Fang Hongfei hugged his master so recklessly. When Li Xiao was in severe pain, what he enjoyed was the satisfaction he had longed for.

He comforted him in a low voice in Li Xiao's ear, and his lips touched Li Xiao's face from time to time.

Li Xiao sighed in despair, and slowly raised her head to look in the direction where Ye Piao was sitting.

The man turned his back to him, still staring intently out of the window, as if everything outside attracted him deeply.

As for himself, he was no longer the object of his concern.

At this moment, Li Xiao didn't see the expression of deep regret on the face of that hero Ye, all he saw was a lonely figure from his back.

From Changzhou Mansion to the north and back to Beijing, it was snowing all the way, and there were few people on the normally desolate official road. The thick snow covered the road, making it very difficult for the carriage to move forward.

Fang Hongfei and his party had already set off for two days, and Li Xiao's hands were only loosened for a while when he was eating every day.

At first, he could barely hold the bowl with chopsticks, but after being tied for a long time, and he hardly moved, the blood circulation in his hands could not be opened, and he was often unable to move for half an hour, let alone eat. work.

Later, it was Fang Hongfei who said that Li Xiao's hands would be useless if he continued to tie them up like this, so they locked his hands in front of them.

"Come on, have a drink. I don't know when I will be able to arrive at the post tonight."

Several guards looked at the violent snowstorm outside and couldn't help but worry.

Fang Hongfei remained silent. He glanced at the dejected Li Xiao, poured a glass of wine and handed it to him.

"Master Hou, drink some to warm up your body too."

The unprecedented physical torture in the past two days caused Li Xiao's spirit to plummet, and his right foot still hurt deeply. He knew that his leg was finished.

It's over, everything is over, Wuzui Mountain Villa is over, King Ning who wants to rebel is over, Chang Zuihou who wants to enjoy the rivers and lakes with Ye Piao is also over.

He numbly brought the glass to his lips, but the length of the iron shackles was limited, so he had to try his best to bury his head in order to drink the wine in the glass.

Commander Xue and the guards couldn't help but sneered a few times when they saw his embarrassed posture.

Along the way, the quietest person, except for Li Xiao who couldn't speak, was Ye Piao.

He hardly spoke, and sat in a corner with his sword in his arms all day long. He ate little food, drank a lot of wine, and stared coldly out of the window.

"Master Hou, do you want to eat something? You have eaten a lot less than usual these two days, it's not good for your health."

Fang Hongfei's tone towards Li Xiao was still as respectful as ever, he took a piece of chicken and fed it to Li Xiao's mouth.

Li Xiao raised his head and gave him a cold look. This look was even more disdainful and disgusting than before, but he still opened his mouth and ate it. After chewing half of it, he spit it all on Fang Hongfei's face.

"Master Fang, it seems that Lord Hou is not honoring you."

Commander Xue took the opportunity to sarcastically from the sidelines.

Fang Hongfei raised his sleeve to wipe off the filth on his face, and persuaded Li Xiao in a low voice: "Master Hou, the journey is hard, and I hope you don't waste food."

Li Xiao still looked at him coldly, but there was a hint of a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Hongfei also laughed, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Xiao's fox fur scarf, and suddenly slapped him across the face.

A red mark suddenly appeared on Li Xiao's pale face, not only he was taken aback, but everyone in the carriage was also taken aback.

Although Li Xiao was already a prisoner of crimes, he was the emperor's uncle after all, even if he committed such a serious crime, it was not something they could just blatantly teach him a lesson.

"Master Hou, you never know how to cherish. You don't cherish the sincerity others treat you, and you don't cherish the food and clothing around you. You should change your temper."

Fang Hongfei let go of Li Xiao, and calmly taught Chang Zuihou, who was still rampant.

He turned his head to look at Ye Piao, the man was still sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.It seemed that everything that happened in the car had nothing to do with him.

Li Xiao had changed from surprise to anger at this time, and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief again, whom he had trusted so much.

He thought that even if this man knew that he didn't like him, he would still work hard for him without complaint. It turned out that he was really wrong.

Fang Hongfei betrayed himself not because of the difficulties of serving the emperor, but because he hated himself.

If I treat him better, I don't know if he will make a different choice?

Li Xiao lowered his head and smiled silently, the anger and astonishment on his face disappeared.

He glanced at Fang Hongfei calmly, moved his body to the corner of the carriage with great effort, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes peacefully.

The two carriages that were in charge of escorting Li Xiao Hui Jing were rumbling one after the other, until it was almost dark before they found an inn by the side of the road.

The wind and snow tended to get bigger and bigger, and there was another mountain ahead. Fang Hongfei saw that it was getting late, and after discussing with Commander Xue, he decided to stay here tonight.

Li Xiao's right foot hurt so badly that it was almost impossible to touch the ground.

Everyone knew about it, but they still dragged him into the inn.If he hadn't taken the dumb drug, he would have cried out in pain.

It was only a dozen or so steps from the carriage to the inn. As soon as Li Xiao came in, he lay down on the table due to the pain. He buried his head in his arms, his fingers were trembling slightly, and his whole right leg was shaking with pain.

Fang Hongfei had people watch Li Xiao, and together with Commander Xue, he went to the shop owner to book a room and order food.

Ye Piao was the last to come in, and he saw Li Xiao laying on the table in pain, and the people next to him ignored him, just talking and laughing to themselves.

The silver boot on Li Xiao's right foot was still stained with blood on the day of Fen Zhi Ju.

The iron manacles were locked so tightly, he must have been in pain, so he couldn't even eat for the past two days, and at night he was always in so much pain that he tossed and turned, making it difficult to sleep.

Ye Piao walked to Li Xiao's side, and reached out to hold Li Xiao's trembling hand.

"Does it really hurt?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Xiao slowly raised his head, he looked at Ye Piao blankly, as if he still didn't believe that the other party was talking to him.

It hurts, of course it hurts, not only the legs, but also the heart.

Li Xiao withdrew the hand held by Ye Piao, and also looked away. He sat up slowly, with a peaceful smile on his pale face.

This kind of calm, such a smile, instantly hurt Ye Piao, making him look away hastily.

Suddenly, the floating sword on Ye Piao's waist roared out, and there was a sharp sound between lightning and flint.

Li Xiao felt that the tight iron cuffs on his right foot were loosened, and the pain on his feet had eased a lot. Looking down again, it turned out that the iron cuffs had been cut off by Ye Piao's sword in an instant.

"Hero Ye... what are you doing! He is..."

Seeing this, the guards at the side thought, this is a big deal, could it be that Ye Piao wanted to release the rebellious Song Zihou on the way?

Ye Piao withdrew his sword, glanced coldly at the faces of the guards, and said word by word: "He has already lost a leg, why torture him like this."

Fang Hongfei and Commander Xue just came back after booking a room, when they saw a shackle on Li Xiao's leg broken on the ground, Fang Hongfei was startled, but Commander Xue was furious.

"Bastard! What's going on?!"

Ye Piao turned around and glanced at him, her frosty face couldn't conceal the murderous look.

"I saw that his feet hurt badly, so I helped him remove the shackles."

"How courageous! You are a mere grassroots, how dare you..."

Seeing this situation, Fang Hongfei hurried over to round things up.

He pulled the angry Commander Xue, looked at the murderous Ye Piao, and said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, I think it's good to take it off, Master Hou has been restless because of the pain these two days, so it's better to go to the capital now." For more than ten days, if something goes wrong with him, we will not be able to explain it. Besides, with Daxia Ye here, it must be safe and sound all the way."

Commander Xue saw that Fang Hongfei was speaking for Ye Piao, and he also knew Fang Hongfei's reputation in the Jianghu. If he really angered him and started to fight, I am afraid that no one in this room is his opponent, so he could only swallow his anger and hum. snort.

After walking for several days, the carriage passed a town.Fang Hongfei was worried that Li Xiao's foot injury would worsen, so he finally asked the doctor in the town to take a look.

Sure enough, his feet were badly damaged. After taking off the silver boots, he saw that his whole foot was rotten badly. The cut heel was mixed with carrion and thick blood, and the color was indistinguishable. .

Later, the doctor hurriedly burned the knife and sprayed wine to cut off the carrion for Li Xiao, let out the bruises, and then applied a good golden sore compress to treat it. Then he sighed repeatedly, if it was later, I am afraid that this foot would have to be cut off, but in the future It grows well, but it is also bad for walking.

When Li Xiao was cut off from the carrion, he passed out from the pain. The doctor went up to check his pulse, and said, this man's qi is abnormal, his heart pulse is messy, he needs to rest well, otherwise he will become hidden disease in the future.

It's a pity that the emperor's life is in his body, and Fang Hongfei can't leave any time for Li Xiao to recuperate. After asking the doctor for the medicine to be used on the road in the future, he saw that the silver boots were soaked in blood. After bandaging his feet, he took him on the road.

The further north you go, the colder it gets.

Fang Hongfei, Ye Piao, Commander Xue and the guards were all skilled in martial arts, and they could still use their martial arts to keep out the cold, but Li Xiao's acupoints were restricted, so it was useless to have martial arts.

Although he was still wearing the already stained brocade fur, he couldn't stand the bone-piercing cold anymore.

When the chariots and horses arrived in Liumu County, which was not far from the capital, it was snowing day by day, and it was extremely cold.

Li Xiao leaned sleepily in the corner all day long, her thin lips were blackened from the cold.

Almost everyone could see him shivering from time to time, but this stubborn Lord Hou didn't show any signs of begging for mercy, instead he stared coldly at those who looked at him.

But after all, his body is weak, and even if he supports himself, his strength will be difficult to sustain.

When he arrived at the post station that night, Li Xiao was too cold to move around, so he had to be carried out by Fang Hongfei.

Fang Hongfei hugged Li Xiao, looked at his pale face and trembling thin lips, and whispered in his ear: "Master Hou, this subordinate also wanted to add clothes and quilts for you, so as to drive away the cold, but it's a pity that Ye Daxia is here Now, you and him cherish each other. Of course, my subordinates leave such beautiful things to Ye Daxia, but he is so nostalgic for the old relationship, and he endures seeing the Hou Ye cold. Don't worry, the subordinates will make people hot in a while Let Hou Ye take a hot bath to keep warm, and let them add some clothes for Hou Ye."

Li Xiao didn't seem to hear anything in Fang Hongfei's arms, but turned her head indifferently.

There is a public bath in this post station, which can be used by officials who come and go to wash off the dust.

After working hard all the way, and it was almost time to reach the capital, Commander Xue and the guards took off their clothes one after another, soaked in the hot pool to relax their muscles and bones, Ye Piao also went into the water, he still occupied a corner alone, silent .

At this moment, Chang Zuihou was staying in the room, sitting naked in the bathtub, with his hands cut behind his back.

Fang Hongfei was taking care of him to take a bath, gently rubbing his body and back, still serving him as attentively as he did in Wuzui Villa back then.

"Master Hou, you seem to have lost weight."

Fang Hongfei turned behind Li Xiao and gently massaged his shoulders.

Li Xiao tilted her head slightly in the hot air, her black hair was floating on the water.

Fang Hongfei stared intently at Li Xiao's neck, and looked at Li Xiao's naked body through the water waves. The long-suppressed throbbing in his heart made his hands irregular.

Although he has been with Li Xiao for many years, because of the disparity in his status, he has never seen his master so naked.

Fang Hongfei is a strong man, and he is in the prime of life, so it is inevitable that he has no desires.

When he found out that he had fallen in love with Chang Zuihou, the hopeless loss tormented him all the time.

At that time, he looked at the noble figure of Chang Zuihou from a distance, lowered his head, and only dared to describe in his heart the moving scenery under the gorgeous clothes again and again.

Li Xiao felt that Fang Hongfei's hand was moving unscrupulously around his body, and suddenly, his stomach tightened, and his avatar was already held in his hand.

The sudden and intense sense of humiliation almost drove Li Xiao crazy.

He struggled in the small tub, no matter how much he screamed, he could only utter a few weak groans.

He turned his head abruptly and stared at Fang Hongfei who was molesting himself.

Fang Hongfei was a little scared at first, because he was used to it, but soon, he was no longer afraid, because he knew that Chang Zuihou had lost power, and was tied up by the restraint of his acupoints, and he no longer posed any threat to himself.

What else can this man who holds even the most vulnerable part of his body in his palm do?

Fang Hongfei lowered his brows and smiled, and the movements of his hands did not stop, "Master Hou, actually, this subordinate has always wanted to serve you well. People have seven emotions and six desires, Master Hou, you have them, and your subordinates also have them."

Such torture and humiliation made Li Xiao feel that life would be worse than death, but there was nothing he could do.

He stared at Fang Hongfei, saw that Fang Hongfei was still unmoved, and turned his head away again. He lowered his head, saw the unquiet water pattern, and saw the molesting hand under the water pattern, suddenly smiled viciously, and turned his head plunged into the water.

Fang Hongfei was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief, his hands still held on, and his expression calmed down, "Master Hou, why did you come here? Why do you have to show me this play?"

After he finished speaking, he moved his hand a few more times, but the man's head was tightly stuck in the water, and he still didn't lift it up. Fang Hongfei slowly let go of his hand until the bubbles on the water surface gradually decreased.

It seemed that Li Xiao really wanted to die.

He would rather die than submit to himself in the slightest.

Chang Zuihou is Chang Zuihou after all, even if he is bound and humiliated, he is still the extremely proud Chang Zuihou.

Fang Hongfei quickly grabbed Li Xiao's hair and pulled him out of the water. Only then did he see that his face was covered with water, and even trickling from his mouth and nose.

Li Xiao panted for a while before turning her wet face, looking at Fang Hongfei, and smiling contemptuously.

"Master Hou, I know I'm wrong, I hope you take care of yourself. You don't want me to touch you, so I won't touch you."

Fang Hongfei slowly let go of Li Xiao's hair, and stood still, as if he had returned to Wuzui Mountain Villa, back to the time when he was taught harshly by Chang Zuihou.

Ye Piao came out of the shower, and heard some guards say that they will reach the capital in about two days.

After arriving in the capital, Chang Zuihou will naturally be thrown into the dungeon to wait for the emperor to deal with him. At that time, everyone will be rewarded for their merits, and the hard work these days will be worth it.

The crime of treason is extraordinary, and I'm afraid it will be more or less ominous if I leave this night.

Ye Piao straightened her clothes, put the Piaoling sword on her waist, and walked upstairs in a daze.

It turned out that we were so close to the capital, and the day of parting between myself and Li Xiao was approaching.

Along the way, I saw that he suffered a lot, but pretended not to know it. Now that I think about it, my heart hurts a lot.

After all, after falling in love once, and saying goodbye soon, how can we forget?

Almost unknowingly, Ye Piao walked out of the house where Li Xiao was temporarily resting with his sword in hand.

He stood outside the door holding his breath for a while, and looked in through the crack of the door. It turned out that Fang Hongfei was dressing Li Xiao.

Fang Hongfei raised his head cautiously when he saw the door being pushed open.

It was Ye Piao who came in.

"Hero Ye, what's the matter?" Fang Hongfei tied Li Xiao's belt, looked at Ye Piao and asked with a smile.

"Nothing. Come and see."

Ye Piao unceremoniously pulled up a chair and sat down, right next to Li Xiao, her slightly cold gaze was fixed on him intently.

Li Xiao looked like no one could see her, her expression was indifferent, and her eyes were downcast.

"Director Fang, I wonder if you can go out, I have something to say to him alone."

The "he" in Ye Piao's mouth naturally refers to Chang Zuihou. Fang Hongfei is not a ignorant person. Although he didn't want to let Ye Piao and Li Xiao be alone, he couldn't think of a better way to refuse, but he changed his mind again. Thinking, these two people will only hurt each other when they are together, so why not let them torture each other.

Fang Hongfei put aside the shackles that were going to be put back on Li Xiao's body, and told Ye Piao, "In that case, I will go out first, but please ask Master Ye to put the shackles on for Lord Hou later. .”

Ye Piao frowned and nodded, watching Fang Hongfei leave.

After Fang Hongfei closed the door for them, he pulled a chair and sat closer to Li Xiao.

"We'll be in the capital in two days." He spoke calmly, but his expression was not calm.

Only now did Li Xiao react a little bit, turned his head slightly, and faced Ye Piao, his eyes were slowly raised, looking directly at him peacefully.

Suddenly, Ye Piao saw Chang Zuihou's brows and eyes relaxed, and smiled to herself.

It stands to reason that Li Xiao should hate himself, so why is he laughing?

Ye Piao was puzzled, but didn't ask, just stared at him indifferently, only his right hand gradually clenched the hilt of his sword.

It was rare for Li Xiao not to put on the heavy iron shackles, he stretched out his hand, made a five, and waved it in front of Ye Piao's eyes.

Seeing that Ye Piao didn't understand, Li Xiao lowered his head helplessly, then raised his hand in the air and made a gesture of waving his whip. Then, he raised his head to stare at Ye Piao again, his eyes full of teasing.

Ye Piao understood.Because he understood, his heart hurt even more.

──When you go elsewhere in the future, just remember that Chang Zui Hou still owes you.

For those fifty lashes, Li Xiao was reminding himself that he still owed himself fifty lashes.

And what do you owe him?

Li Xiao in front of her had already begun to loosen her shirt, exposing her naked body.

He looked around, picked up his belt, folded it in half, and handed it to Ye Piao.

Those terrifyingly calm eyes were clearly urging Ye Piao to end the grievances between the two tonight.

After the fifty lashes, Chang Zuihou no longer owes him, and Ye Piao doesn't need to remember Chang Zuihou anymore.

Ye Piao took the belt that Li Xiao handed over. Although it was soft, it could be used as a murderous weapon if injected with a little inner strength, not to mention a mere whip.

He glanced at Li Xiao again, who staggered and knelt down with his crippled right leg, with his back turned to him peacefully.

"You really want to force me?" Ye Piao smiled wryly, and finally tasted the pain she suffered in Fenzhi Julixiao that day.

At that time, I also pressed him hard, leaving no room for it.

Li Xiao straightened her back and knelt on the ground, not moving a muscle, nor turning her head.

"Okay, I will fulfill you. After fifty lashes, you will not owe me any more after you are drunk."

Ye Piao let out a long laugh, and lifted the belt in his hand, aiming at Li Xiao's back to pull it down.

It hurts, it hurts.Li Xiao staggered while supporting the bed, then knelt firmly again.

Compared with the original fifty lashes, the fifty lashes now hurt even more.

Ye Piao seemed to want to leave a mark on him deliberately, and exerted all her strength.

Li Xiao parted his lips, but he didn't let out any painful whimpers or groans, instead a few hoarse low laughs emerged from his throat.

He used to hope so much that Ye Piao could accompany him for the rest of his life, but now he can only watch each other go farther and farther with his own eyes.

It is better not to meet each other than to meet each other.

After the last whip, Li Xiao felt relieved.

He hadn't stood up yet, the burning wound had already been hugged tightly, and Ye Piao's choked voice could be heard beside his ear.

"If you give up the greed in your heart and leave with me at that time, it would be great..."

However, after seven years of planning, once he abandoned it, how could he be worthy of himself and those who followed him?

Li Xiao was turned around and hugged by Ye Piao, he half-closed his eyes, smiled lazily, as if he was drunk, his thin lips moved slightly, and clearly drew three words: I don't regret .

Ye Piao hugged him and looked up to the sky, sighing, and slowly let go.

"It seems that being the emperor is more important to you. The name Ye Piao may just be a joke in your eyes."

Hearing Ye Piao's emotion, Li Xiao's expression froze, and later his face was full of pain.

Ye Piao helped him up, carefully dressed him, raised his hand to lightly brush some strands of Li Xiao's temple hair, and embraced him again.

"Care to take the person in front of me. It's not that I don't hesitate to take you, it's just..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Piao lightly cupped Li Xiao's face, and kissed his cold lips lightly, affectionately.

The heavy iron shackles returned to his body again, and Li Xiao sat by the bed, until he watched Ye Piao get up and leave, then he wished to break free from the shackles and follow him.

How good it would be to leave with you then...

Li Xiao smiled bitterly alone in the room, with her eyes closed, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
