Chapter 165 Can I look at you again? I want to see what you look like
Pei Yili's residence.
"Princess Chen, do you know why I called you here instead of sending Qiluo?"
Mu Wanyan pursed her red lips and secretly complained in her heart: Is it because all of you Pei family members have some problems and don't play by the rules?
Without waiting for her to answer, Pei Yili continued, "Princess Chen, I know that you saved my Luo'er, and I am grateful to you."
He took a step forward, his expression pleading: "I know I owe Luo Er a lot, and I am too ashamed to face her. I know very well that no matter what I say now, she will not forgive me, let alone be willing to see me."
There was a pleading light in his eyes: "Princess Chen, I beg you, considering the deep friendship between you and Luo'er, can you persuade her to come back to my side? I swear, I will cherish Luo'er even more in the future and make it up to her with the rest of my life."
Mu Wanyan sneered: "Let's not talk about whether Miss Wangyou is really your Princess Qiluo. Even if she is, I will never help you persuade her. Because you are not worthy."
Pei Yili's face darkened: "You——"
Mu Wanyan: "Is His Royal Highness Prince Yi angry?"
Mu Wanyan interrupted him rudely: "What? Is His Royal Highness Prince Yi angry? I would like to ask you, is there any woman in the world who would push her best friend into the arms of a murderer?"
She took a step closer, her tone cold: "Your Highness Prince Yi has a sister, and she was killed by your good brother-in-law. Now your brother-in-law comes to you to confess that he actually loves your sister deeply, and asks you to help persuade her. Your Highness Prince Yi, are you willing?"
Pei Yili was speechless when asked, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
After a while, he raised his head, his voice trembling and apologetic:
"I... I really love Luo'er. Before, I thought Luo'er was no longer alive and tried to commit suicide many times. Later, my father threatened to kill the entire Prince Yi's Mansion, so I was able to survive until now."
He took a deep breath and continued, "I know that I have sinned deeply and do not deserve Luo'er's forgiveness, but I know that Luo'er still loves me."
"I have read every note Luo'er wrote. I regret my decision and now I want to make it up to her."
Seeing Mu Wanyan remained silent, Pei Yili's eyes welled up with tears: "When I saw Luo'er again at Fengnu Academy that day, I felt like I was alive again. God has mercy on me, my Luo'er is still alive."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Mu Wanyan: "It was Princess Chen who gave Yi Li a new life. Yi Li will always remember this kindness."
After that, he ordered the palace servants to bring several heavy boxes. When the lids of the boxes were opened, the glittering gold came into view.
Mu Wanyan glanced at him and said without any emotion: "Let's not talk about whether the person I saved is your princess, but a man like you who doesn't even dare to confess to the person involved really doesn't seem to have any sense of responsibility."
Whether to forgive Pei Yili or not is up to Princess Qiluo herself.
Mu Wanyan kicked the wooden box containing gold domineeringly and said, "This princess was born in Xichang, and the last thing she lacks is gold, silver and jewelry. I am doing this just out of my conscience, and you Pei family members probably won't understand."
After saying this, he left Pei Yili's official residence without looking back.
I walked while holding my chest with my hands, feeling the pain. There was so much gold, and I actually refused it just for the sake of face?
Oh my god, am I really stupid or just plain dumb?
-
Mu Wanyan's figure gradually walked away, and Pei Yili seemed to be enlightened in an instant. He took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to push open the door of the government office, and walked towards the courtyard of the academy with firm steps.
It was break time, and the academy was filled with laughter. Under a withered peach tree, a familiar figure stood quietly. It was Princess Qiluo.
He was all alone and looked extremely pitiful.
Pei Yili looked at it from afar, taking in the thin figure in his sight, and his eyes turned red instantly.
The little girl who was so kind and cute, and who always acted like a spoiled child and stuck to him, now had completely white hair.
Those beautiful and charming eyes no longer had the innocence of the past, but were replaced by deep disappointment with the world.
And the culprit who strangled her was himself.
Pei Yili's heart stagnated, as if something was grabbing his heart tightly. The pain made him tremble all over and unable to move for a long time.
He tried hard to calm himself down, and after a while, he took heavy steps, step by step, towards the person he had been thinking about day and night.
“Luo’er, my Luo’er—” Pei Yili burst into tears before he could even finish his words.
"I love you, Luo'er. I really love you. I love you so much that I'm about to die." Feeling the indifference and hatred in Qiluo's eyes, Pei Yili was afraid that she would leave, so he hurriedly said this.
Qiluo just found it ridiculous. When she loved him, he ignored her. Now that she doesn't love him anymore, he pretends to be affectionate?
"Prince Yi, you've got the wrong person. I am Mu Wangyou, a woman of great fortune and destiny. I am definitely not your short-lived princess."
Her tone was calm as she spoke, with a hint of sarcasm in the corners of her eyes, and he could no longer allow himself to cause any ripples.
Pei Yili's eyes turned red and he started crying again. "Luo'er, I can't accept you treating me like this. You can beat me, scold me, or even kill me, but please don't ignore me."
"I know I was wrong, will you forgive me? It was only after I lost you that I realized how much I loved you. I miss you every day, and even dream about you at night..."
Qiluo: "Stop, I don't want to listen. I'm not your Qiluo. I don't want to hear these love words."
She turned her head away and didn't want to look at him. Pei Yili's crying caused her physical discomfort.
Pei Yili's eyes were red, and he wanted to come over to hug Qiluo, but she avoided him with disgust.
"Prince Yi, there are differences between men and women, please respect that. I am not your stupid princess, and even if I were, I would never forgive you."
She looked at him with hatred, "Who would forgive their murderer?"
Pei Yili felt a surge of sadness when he heard this, "Luo'er, I was born in a royal family, and I had no choice before."
He raised three fingers and said, "I swear to you, if I hurt you again, I will kill you without a burial place."
Qiluo: "Very affectionate, but unfortunately I am not your princess."
Pei Yili: "We have been sleeping together for so long. Your every smile has been deeply engraved in my mind. How could I have recognized the wrong person?"
He stopped her and tried to pull off her veil with his hands. "Luo'er, let me see your appearance again. Please let me see you again."
He wanted to take another look at the face that had haunted him, wanted to hug her, kiss her, and comfort her.
Pei Yili thought about his past close relationship with Qiluo all the time.
Princess Qiluo dodged in annoyance, "Maybe your princess and I only have similar eyes. Your Highness not only has bad legs and feet, but is he also blind?"
Pei Yili suddenly smiled when he heard this. "Luo'er, are you scolding me? Luo'er, you are still angry with me, right?"
His eyes were filled with joy. "You are angry, which means you still care about me. If scolding me can make you feel better, I will let you beat me and scold me."
Qiluo: "It's unreasonable, you lunatic, I already told you I'm not your princess."
She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Pei Yili again.
"Luo'er, let me see your face. As long as you take off your veil, I will give up immediately after one look." There was a hint of pleading and despair in Pei Yili's voice.
Qiluo angrily tried to break free from his restraints, but Pei Yili held her hand tightly.
With a cry of surprise, Qiluo's veil slipped from Pei Yili's fingertips, revealing the face that had been haunting him.
Pei Yili's voice trembled, tears welled up in his eyes: "Luo'er, you are really my Luo'er..."
