Chapter 353 The truth revealed
night.
Pei Yi thought of the conversation between Huo Yuan and Qisha in the evening, and she couldn't sleep, she lost sleepiness at all.
"Dengdengdengdeng..."
I suddenly remembered the knock on the door.
Pei Yi was taken aback in the dark night.
She put on her coat and got up, picked up the candlestick and went to open the door.
The person standing outside is Huo Yuan. He came in the dark, with moonlight on his shoulders, as if he had been tainted by the wind and frost along the way.
Pei Yi let the person into the room, and asked curiously: "Kubira came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"
Huo Yuan took the candlestick in her hand and gently placed it on the pear wood round table, then turned silently and walked to the window.
This situation made Pei Yi even more confused.
She walked over with light steps, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something on your mind?"
Huo Yuan turned around to look at her, and joked with a smile: "You called me Kubera just now, why did you call me Your Highness?"
Pei Yi smiled narrowly and said, "Kubira always finds it difficult to speak when he shouts."
Huo Yuan smiled and said: "I forgot, you are a Han, and you are not used to this kind of address. If you are a barbarian, you have a long list of names, but Kubera seems to be easy to pronounce."
Pei Yi was slightly taken aback, and asked in astonishment: "Hearing your Highness's tone, don't you... you are not Han?"
Huo Yuan looked at her gently, and teased with a soft smile: "It seems that you don't know me very well. My Huo family ancestors are half of Huo people's blood and half of Han people's blood. My father not only has Han people’s names, and a Hu people’s name. However, in my generation, all of them have changed to Han people’s names.”
Pei Yi was thoughtful, and said with a slight smile, "It's the Hu Han family."
Huo Yuan stared at her obsessively, and smiled softly: "If it had been fifty years earlier, it would have been almost impossible for me to marry a girl of pure Han blood like you. But now it is advocated that the Hu Han family should be related, and that Hu people and Han people should marry each other. There's nothing hindering it."
At this time, the night was quiet, and the servants had already been sent away, so there was no need to worry about outsiders eavesdropping nearby, so Huo Yuan dared to say the word "girl".
Pei Yi couldn't help feeling ashamed, and suggested with a slightly flushed cheek, "Your Highness, you don't have to talk about marriage matters."
Huo Yuan lowered his head and smiled softly, his whole body exudes a soft color that is different from the past.
He was silent for a while, then said suddenly: "I think what Seven Kill said today makes sense."
Pei Yi looked at the man standing in front of the window in astonishment, she didn't expect him to bring up the topic.
The clear and clear moonlight shone on Huo Yuan from the outside. The man was facing her with his back facing her, completely in the backlight, his cheeks were almost completely hidden in the darkness.
However, even though she couldn't see the man's expression, Pei Yi somehow felt that she could guess the expression on the man's face at the moment.
"Fanyin, I have always felt that it is only natural for men to protect their women." Huo Yuan said slowly, "I never thought that my wife would be a heroine."
"However, if one day I leave her one step ahead, who will protect her? Is it our child? What if the child is still young? Then she doesn't understand anything, won't she be fooled by others? "
Huo Yuan paused for a moment, seemed to be a little sad, and then continued after a while: "Fanyin, I will support you in whatever you do. It is best if you can make achievements, if you can't make it Don't be discouraged and upset if you make a name for yourself. I don't expect you to be prosperous in the officialdom, I just hope...you can have the minimum ability to protect yourself."
A warm current gushed out of Pei Yi's heart instantly, warming her limbs and bones.
Before this, she had never seen Huo Yuan like this, gentle but sad.
Every word he said was tinged with affection, which made her, the listener, unable to help being moved, yet feeling heavy.
Pei Yi suddenly felt unspeakably ashamed, and she belatedly realized that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between her and Huo Yuan.
Huo Yuan completely regarded her as his future wife inside and out, which was completely inconsistent with her previous assumption that Huo Yuan had given up on her.
"Your Highness," Pei Yi was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "I have no intention of getting married. I can't bear the love of Your Highness."
Afraid that what she said was not clear enough and would be misunderstood, Pei Yi went on to add: "Although I also yearn for romance, I am not moved by red luan stars."
Huo Yuan froze in place. After a while, he sneered unbelievably: "Your Excellency, you mean that you have never been attracted to this king?"
Pei Yi could clearly feel the man's sudden anger, and the man's sudden estrangement was also evident.
She couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, after all, it was the first time she had seen such an angry and forbearing Huo Yuan.
It's wrong for people to misunderstand. Since she has the opportunity to talk about it today, she must work harder to avoid misunderstandings again.
Pei Yi cheered herself up, and said bravely: "It's true that I have never been moved. In my heart, His Highness has always been my best partner and the most righteous friend."
"Friend?" Huo Yuan asked coldly.
He has a sense of anger at being played on.
In his twenty years of life, it was the first time he was attracted to someone, and it was the first time he spent so much time planning and paving the way for someone.
He thought that he and this person were in love with each other, overcome difficulties together, and loved each other.
In the end, this person only thought of him as a friend lightly.
Huo Yuan felt unbearable, and he asked angrily: "Then what are the things we experienced before?! Pei Yi, you were the one who pursued me first! You were the one who came to pester me for nothing! Now you are doing better Turn your face and deny anyone?! What, you love Qisha so much, so you want to kick me to make him happy? Or...you think you'll get me anyway, so you lose your freshness and plan to throw it away I do not want it?"
Pei Yi was very embarrassed, but felt that there was nothing to say.
After hearing Huo Yuan's accusation, she suddenly realized that there might be too many misunderstandings between the two of them.
Pei Yi's heart was in a mess, and her mind was also buzzing.
After a long time, she solemnly and slowly opened her mouth to argue: "Your Highness, I have never pursued you..."
Before she finished speaking, Huo Yuan angrily said: "Never pursued?! Then what did you say when you forced me to kiss you?! You refused to let me get in touch with Su Luoyun, and even threatened me with frivolity. What did you say?" ?!"
"You enshrined me in the house to recuperate my wounds, so what do you say to accommodate me everywhere?!"
"You begged your second brother to **** me for me, how can this be explained?!"
