After finishing the meal, Bai Yan talked with Mrs. Chen for a long time before going back. Mrs. Chen really loved her daughter and started crying while talking, which made her unable to hold back her tears.

It was getting late when I came back from her place, and Bai Yan didn't plan to go to his place again. Anyway, they stayed together every day, so it didn't matter if they saw each other a few times.

Sitting in front of the mirror, while undoing her hair, she remembered something. She had planned to ask Er Jing about it in the afternoon, but she had never had the chance to put it off until now. She stood up suddenly and ran to his room.

Xiao Cui originally wanted to stop her, knowing that the empress and the young master have been inseparable since childhood and have a good relationship, but now she should avoid suspicion.

Bai Yan didn't care so much and knocked on Er Jing's door directly.

Er Jing looked at her in surprise, "Nanny? Are you okay? Why don't you go to bed early so late?"

"Can I come in? Brother, I have something to ask."

"Of course. What do you want to ask?"

Bai Yan cleared her throat. Xiaocui had said before that she rarely went out, and the only few times she went out were with her brother, so if she had met Pei Lin, his brother must have known about it.

"Brother, do you still remember that there was a proton named Song Yuanxi? He was from the Song Dynasty."

No one mentioned this name for a long time. Er Jing didn't think of it for a while. He shook his head hesitantly. Bai Yan quickly asked him to think about it.

Seeing that she was so eager, Er Jing recalled it seriously. After a while, he patted his thigh and said, "I think I remembered the proton, but I don't know if it was called that name. Speaking of this, you still saved me back then.

killed him,"

Er Jing smiled and took a sip of tea, looking like he was talking freely. Bai Yan frowned. She had no idea that their fate started so early and started with her bravery.

"My daughter was so fierce at that time. She rushed up and told the children not to bully him. A little person who was no taller than his legs was so..."

Bai Yan interrupted him anxiously. She didn't want to know how brave she was to save him, she just wanted to know what happened.

"After the Song Dynasty was defeated, he originally planned to send the princess to come for peace, but somehow he sent a proton to ask for peace. In order to humiliate him, Your Majesty did not let him enter the palace, and settled outside the palace, living in the deep alley in front of him.

At that time, Da Qi's national power was prosperous and looked down upon the small country of Song Dynasty, so everyone looked down upon the protons sent. Children on the street sometimes went to make trouble outside his door. You know, he is a prince after all, who wouldn't want to

It's an honor to be able to overwhelm the prince and speak wildly over him. At that time, everyone would brag and humiliate him. It's really pitiful, hey." Er Jing sighed, Bai Yan's chest rose and fell, and she almost couldn't help crying.

, but she had no choice but to hold back if she wanted to continue listening.

"Winter came early that year, and the war ahead was intense, but food and grass could not be delivered. Da Qi lost to the Song Dynasty. It lost a lot of gold and silver and ceded land. The palace could only intensify the tax collection.

It was used to pay compensation. The life of the people was already difficult, and at that time it was even more difficult for the people to make a living. There were widespread complaints, so everyone naturally put this account on the proton."

"Why should you blame him? It was obviously the late emperor who was extravagant and respected Taoism. He used up all the money in the treasury to exploit the people. Why should you blame him!"

Bai Yan clenched her hands tightly and endured the trembling all over. Tears were already welling up in her eyes. She now understood why Pei Lin ignored human life. For him, everyone in the world felt sorry for him.

Er Jing was a little surprised by her attitude but continued, "They surrounded his house and wouldn't let him out and couldn't bring anything in. They were ready to starve him to death. After hearing about it, his father even went to persuade them,

But it was useless. I didn't hear everything about what happened next. It seems that his guards put on his clothes and rushed out. I don't know who among the crowd was the first to chop him. He was hacked to death by random swords.

, no one collected the body, and it was left there for several days, eh."

Er Jing let out a long sigh and looked at her as if she couldn't bear to listen. He stopped describing, for fear of scaring her, "They burned the place down in a few days, and the little proton was still alive. He was able to survive that day.

I planned to take you home after buying rose cakes. As soon as I walked to the alley, I saw a group of children beating him. He was already dying. A group of people punched him one by one, and he was unable to fight back. Look at him, how pitiful he is.

I have to help him. I can't control you, so I can only help drive away those children."

The picture in Bai Yan's mind became clearer and clearer. She saw Erfu's memory again, and her voice kept echoing in her ears.

"What's your name? My name is Erfu. Can you stand up?"

"Why don't you speak, don't you? I'll give you this box of rose cakes. It's delicious."

"I'm leaving. My brother is calling me. Mother doesn't allow us to go back late. If you want, you can come to my house to find me. I live in front, not far away. I'm leaving then. Goodbye."

Goodbye was really goodbye, and Bai Yan burst into tears. She could hear her own voice speaking, asking herself why she couldn't take him home with her at that time, so that he wouldn't have to go to the palace.

It won't be so painful.

"Nanny?"

Er Jing watched in confusion as her shoulders trembled from crying. He was a little at a loss as he found a handkerchief and handed it to her carefully.

Bai Yan pushed his hand away, said "Let's go first" and rushed out the door.

She just wants to see Pei Lin now and hug him.

Xiao Cui, who was standing outside the door, quickly followed her, "Mother, Mr. Pei has been waiting for you in your room for a long time. What's wrong with you?"

"Don't come in."

Bai Yan opened the door and threw herself into his arms. Pei Lin frowned. She originally came over to ask this little guy what he was doing in Erjing's room at night.

He raised the little face of the person in his arms and found that she was crying and her eyes were red.

"Why are you crying?"

He frowned and wiped the tears off her face in displeasure. Was he being bullied? She was crying like this.

"Pei Lin, I feel bad."

Bai Yan hugged his waist tightly, her heart hurt so much that she could only cry non-stop. Why was her Pei Lin the one who suffered these crimes? Why couldn't she take him home back then.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Stop crying and tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Her state really shocked him, and he couldn't stop crying. He hugged him and refused to let go. Pei Lin's tone became stiff, and he pulled her out of his arms and leaned down to look at her level.

Bai Yan sobbed and pressed her lips against his. Her lips were wet with tears and looked even softer.

Pei Lin still remembered that when she was crying, he couldn't breathe and couldn't kiss her. He hid back and touched her face to comfort her.

Bai Yan calmed down her twitching, and after she could speak a complete sentence normally, she spoke, "I asked my brother and found out about your past."

Pei Lin took a breath and straightened up. In fact, he had guessed something just now. He smiled softly, raised his index finger and scratched her face, and said in a casual tone, "Just for this, your tears are really worthless."

"The guards who taught you martial arts died, right? Then they set fire to kill you, right?"

As she said this, she was about to cry again.

Pei Lin pressed his upper jaw. He was dead. The only person who had been with him for nearly five years died miserably. There were scars from different weapons on his body. Everyone was a murderer. Until now, he doesn't even know where his body is.

Know.

But, "I set the fire."

He curled his lips slightly, and his burning eyes seemed to contain the fire that year, burning in front of his eyes again, swallowing up everything in the past, and the smell of burnt wood filled his entire nostrils.

Without the fire, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

It is said that Nirvana is rebirth, and that fire burned to death Song Yuanxi, who easily trusted others, was timid and cowardly, and always hoped that someone would come to save him.

That's not a bad thing.

His tone was careless, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Bai Yan curled her lips and saw that she was about to cry again, Pei Lin stretched out her hand to pull him into his arms.

He didn't feel sad, but rather wanted to laugh. He was a pitiful man, really pitiful. The little queen should feel more sorry for him.

"Why don't you come to me? I told you where I live."

Bai Yan clung to his chest, tears welling up in her eyes again. Pei Lin was such an idiot, he only remembered that she was called Erfu, and he protected her again and again in the palace.

He was the one who gave, and she was the one who squandered his kindness without thinking about him.

Pei Lin blinked, looked straight ahead, and said slowly, "I've been there."

He went to look for her, but something went wrong. The few times he met her when she went out, she was not there. He thought she didn't want to see him, so he never went there again.

Now he knows that she is really not here, not that she doesn't want to see him, but he doesn't have much regret. Perhaps he is destined to fall into hell forever, where he will be neither a human nor a ghost, and will never stop dying.

"Can't you go a few more times? Can't you ask someone to say something? Can't you just stand at the door and wait for me? There are so many ways, but you just choose the stupidest one. Pei Lin, is there something wrong with you?

Ah, people are really eager to...well."

Pei Lin blocked her lips. He didn't want to hear so many possibilities. There was no need to discuss irreversible things.

He kissed her gently, drawing warmth from her body crazily. This greasy warmth made people intoxicated.

He needs her, she has to be there.

He is such a selfish person, she was the one who approached him first, she deserves it.

"You deserve it."

He gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear, he deserved her kindness and deserved her pity on him.

Facing his eyes that were burning with madness in silence, Bai Yan stood on tiptoes and kissed his eyes.

Pei Lin was forced to close her eyes. He sighed deeply, picked her up and put her on the bed.

"Okay, I'll take a rest early."

The moment he turned to go out, Bai Yan raised her upper body and ran over to hug him from behind, "Pei Lin, I love you."

Pei Lin paused and said, "Yeah."

He put her back on the bed, touched her head, closed the door and left.
