Tyrant's Consort Too Arrogant

Her lover had always been ignorant of the ways of the world and could always be at ease. However, at this moment, she suddenly had a strong desire to not let Pei Ruochen be harmed in any case.

Thinking of this, the well-coordinated footsteps came to a halt.

Sensing the slight difference, Pei Ruochen also turned her head to look at Nie Tian.

She actually saw a pair of clear, immaculate eyes filled with undisguised fear and worry, as well as a trace of determination that even she herself did not notice.

Pei Ruochen seemed to have understood her worries, and tightened her grip. Her lips curved into a warm smile.

"Don't worry." As he spoke softly, he suddenly extended his arm and wrapped it around his lover's waist. Then, changing the force of his kick, his entire body shot out of the courtyard.

The supervisor in the room was stunned for a moment at the incident. Then he stood up and gave the order to the commander: Leave them!

As soon as he said this, a group of people appeared out of nowhere, all of them drawing their bows and shooting arrows. They shot their arrows like locusts towards her, causing her to hurriedly close her eyes in fear — previously, when she was doing manual work, even if a needle pierced her finger, it would still hurt. If this arrow pierced a hole in her body, she would definitely die from the pain.

Her lover was as afraid of pain as any ordinary person was of it.

However, the arrow didn't land on her body. The arm around her waist slightly moved forward, then moved her to his chest.

The 'puchi' sound of arrows piercing into her body resounded in her ears, but she didn't feel any pain.

When she opened her eyes again, she had already safely landed outside the South Heaven Tea House. When she opened her eyes, the outside of the yard was already surrounded by soldiers and crossbows in their hands. It was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

The door opened, and those who had been chasing after him hurriedly retreated.

"Fang Ze, you traitor!" Manager You bellowed from inside.

She quickly turned around to face Pei Ruochen, who had already wiped away her disguise and was still as handsome and handsome as before. However, her complexion was slightly pale, and it was unknown if it was due to her dark green clothes being stained by black clumps.

Her nose caught a whiff of blood, and her heart sank for some reason — like a chicken pecking at its heart.

When she saw the arrow behind Pei Ruochen, half of it had already sunk into her body, causing her to bleed profusely. Just looking at the arrow caused her pain to be unbearable, let alone the person who was shot by the arrow.

"You …" She held Pei Ruochen's hand and was stunned, unable to say a word.

"Master Pei!" Before Pei Ruochen could console her, a soldier walked over and said respectfully, "Master Pei is in danger and has finally managed to capture all of the bandits …" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the state of Pei Ruochen's injuries, and his face turned pale as he cried out involuntarily, "This … Master Pei, please hurry up and bind up your wounds!"

Pei Ruochen let go of her lover and smiled as she waved her hands, "It's alright." However, his voice was weak and his face was pale.

"Ruochen, what are you trying to do now?" A loud and clear voice came out from the crowd. He Lan Qin, wearing a military uniform, walked with large strides to Pei Ruochen's side, "Such a severe injury, you must treat it soon. You haven't forgotten what day it is, have you? Where was the groom who couldn't walk well? Men, send Lord Pei back to his residence! " Pausing, he retracted his gaze and glanced at the South Sky Tea House. His tone suddenly became cold. "As for this place, leave it to me."

A faint blush appeared on Pei Ruochen's pale face. She nodded and did not refute him.

His wife was carefully thinking about the word 'groom'. For some reason, she felt her entire body was uncomfortable.

"Hey, lover." He Lanqin was just about to stride forward when he caught sight of her. He couldn't help but smile, "Wait here for a while. After This King finishes cleaning up the bandits, then I'll personally send you back to Carefree Palace."

It seemed as if she didn't hear him. She just held onto the bandage on her palm and stared blankly at Pei Ruochen's back.

He also had to clean up the traitors in the teahouse. Without waiting for her, he strode to the front of the team and instructed them how to take care of everyone in the teahouse in one fell swoop.

Her lover was thrown into a state of chaos as he watched Pei Ruochen's back gradually grow smaller. He suddenly pursed his lips and followed her without saying a word.

Following closely behind, neither too close nor too far away.

Pei Ruochen got on the palanquin. Due to her injuries, the palanquin did not move very fast. His wife, who was following him at a leisurely pace, had actually caught up to him. She had her head lowered as she followed silently by his side.

The bearers of the sedan looked at her curiously. They remembered that their young master had jumped out with her, so they did not say anything to chase him away. Instead, they allowed her to silently follow the Prime Minister into his house, the Pei household.

When they arrived at the inner hall, the Pei household helped Pei Ruochen out of the hall. The imperial physician from the palace was already waiting at the side. When he saw the Prime Minister stepping out of the carriage, he immediately surrounded Pei Ruochen so tightly that even water wouldn't be able to trickle through.

The lover could not see him.

"Ruochen!" However, when they heard the elegant female voice, the surrounding imperial physicians immediately opened up a path. A young and elegant lady dressed in brocade came running in from outside the manor. She had a refined temperament and her elegant brows revealed a grandeur.

"Princess Lu." As the imperial physicians stepped aside, they began saluting Qian'er.

Pei Ruochen was tortured by the eight imperial physicians to the point where she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When she saw her, she turned around and smiled. She then asked gently, "Huan, why are you here?"

"I heard elder sister Ruo Lan say that you went into danger and got injured in order to scout out the bandit's lair — you, how could you not know how to appreciate yourself!" Princess Luojie — He Lan Lu squeezed out two streams of tears and held Pei Ruochen's hand. As she spoke, she began to sob.

His cry was like a rainstorm, moving the hearts of those who cried.

Big sister Ruo Lan was Pei Ruo Lan, who had entered the palace with Eli. She was also a newly promoted Imperial Concubine.

Yi Ren could not help but marvel at the Holland family's good heritage. Both men and women were ridiculously beautiful — even the martial uncle Helan Chin had an outstanding appearance.

Indeed, Pei Ruochen did not care about her injuries. Instead, she stretched out her hand and gently wiped away the tears on He Lan Lu's face, trying to comfort him.

The girl who had been pushed to the back could only watch from afar, looking at the hand that had been around her waist just now. It was like a dragonfly, touching He Lan's jade white skin.

It was so white that it was a little dazzling.

After a moment of delay, the imperial physician at the side finally advised, "Your Highness, it would be better if we sent Lord Xiao Pei into the house earlier to treat his wounds."

Only then did He Lanlian reluctantly let go of Pei Ruochen, but he did not follow her in. Instead, he waited anxiously outside by the entrance hall with his handkerchief tied around his head.

At the door, there was a medicine boy who seemed to be in a hurry as he turned his head to see her. He casually stuffed the medicine box into her hands, and with a blank look on his face, he accepted the medicine box before continuing to squeeze through the crowd.

In the room, the imperial doctors cut open Pei Ruochen's clothes, turned him over and laid him on the bed. Then they called out, "Bring the ball!"

It was obvious that he wanted Pei Ruochen to pull out the arrow with her teeth.

At first, her lover just stood to the side with nothing to do with her. After waiting for a while, he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her. She looked at the crowd for some reason, then lowered her head and found that she was the only one holding the medicine box.

"Hurry up and come over! "How could the Pei family have a stupid girl like you!" The imperial physician, who was sitting on the side of the bed, let out a low growl.

Her lover hurriedly ran over with the suitcase in hand.

She could finally see Pei Ruochen.

Unfortunately, his back was to her and his head was turned to the other side.

Trembling, she brought the bundle of cloth from the medicine chest to Pei Ruochen's lips and looked at his face from top to bottom.

Pei Ruochen closed her eyes, her beautiful lips were bloodless. When she was trying to pull out the arrow, although she did not make a sound, the sweat on her forehead had moistened the satin pillow.

Pei Ruochen fainted due to the pain, but she did not show any signs of being hurt.

Her lover remembered the pain he had endured at the door, when he had been dragged by Heran to comfort her.

She suddenly hated Helan. Even though it was just the first time, although it didn't match her usual style of handling affairs, she just didn't like it.

"Alright." After the imperial physician had finished bandaging Pei Ruochen, he wiped his sweat and stood up, "Go out and let Master Pei rest well. Princess Lu and Prime Minister Pei are still waiting for our reply. "

Everyone left in a hurry, bringing their things with them.

As for her lover, because no one knew her, they assumed that she was a servant girl from the mansion, and no one hurried her out.

So she stayed behind, squatting on the side of the bed, looking at Pei Ruochen who was half asleep, breathing evenly.

His heart was soft. It was late in the night. Everything was quiet. The night was very dark and quiet.

Her lover had never had such good hearing. She could hear the rustling of the flower beds outside the window, hear the distant drumming, the breathing of Pei Ruochen, and the beating of her own heart.

Her face was frighteningly hot, and she almost thought she was sick.

He had a very strange urge to stay like this for a very long time, always, without sleep, without end.

Her lover just looked at his profile. The white jade was as perfect and fragile as a sculpture.

Her heart grew softer and softer, as if it were melting, so soft that she could not bear it.

Pei Ruochen, who was on the bed, suddenly let out a light snort. Her forehead started to sweat again. Perhaps it was because the medicinal efficacy was slowly dissipating, but an even more severe pain was approaching her.

She just squatted down to one side and thought about it. Finally, she timidly reached out her hand, groped for his hand under the blanket, and squeezed it.

The muddle-headed Pei Ruochen naturally held her back. Her lover's palm was originally injured, but with this grip, she could only grit her teeth and grimace, not daring to speak out in pain. He didn't want to pull away.

In her previous life, she had heard that music could stop pain, so she began to sing, nursery rhymes, military songs, love songs.

I have a little donkey... Ah … The elegance of bloodstain... Ah … Green Flower in the Military... Ah … Chopin's Nocturne... If the Sea... Wait for a change of heart, wait for a surge of emotions... In the next life, I will meet you …

As she sang, her lover's voice became softer and softer. Finally, she lost all signs of life.

The sky was growing white in the east as the first rays of the morning sun crept into the windows.

She was lying on the bed, drooling at the corners of her mouth, her hands still clutching Pei Ruochen, her head resting on his chest, her legs stretched out carelessly like a stupid prawn.

But the morning light hung on her long, thick eyelashes, and there was something so demure about it that one could not help wondering what her dream had been — it must have been a dream of peace and beauty.

This was the first scene that Pei Ruochen saw when she woke up.
