"Humph, do you still know that you are wrong? Running out secretly like this will make us worry more about your safety."
"Dad, I won't dare to do it next time, really," Xiao Xi swore with one finger pointing to the sky.
Seeing Xiao Xi admitting his mistake so obediently, Yi Di's face became a little brighter. A mother would naturally help her daughter out, "Just be obedient next time and don't make your father angry again. You know that your father has to do it every day." I’m busy with a lot of things, you know?”
"I know," Xiao Xi and her mother looked at each other and saw that her mother was speaking for her.
"I'm bringing you back this time. I heard there's another man, right?" Yi Di asked Xiao Xi.
"Yes, Dad, I was about to tell you about this. Please let him go. He didn't want to kidnap me. I took the initiative to find him," Xiao Xi pleaded to his father.
"What, you actually took the initiative to find him. You let go of the girl's reserve. It seems like what Lan Hui said, you were fascinated by the man's sweet words. It seems that you can directly sentence him without interrogation. "Death penalty, Lan Hui will carry out the execution tomorrow." Xiao Xi's words seemed to have ignited his father's anger. He was most proud of being able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter, and now he actually took the initiative to express his pride. A man can't think of any other reason besides being confused.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Nie Lanhui smiled secretly in his heart. Now that everything was in his plan, he could get rid of that man tomorrow, and he felt very happy.
"No, dad, it's not what you think. Lord Kai didn't confuse me. He is the person in the high priest's language," Xiao Xi panicked, but he didn't expect that his words would cause Hou Kai's death.
"Even if it is the prophecy of the high priest, our royal family pays attention to being well-matched. Does the man you like have a career in the royal family and contribute to the empire? You are my daughter. How can I see you and a person who has no future? Living with two people, you are definitely deceived, wake up quickly, little boo,"
"No, Dad, I really like him. Please don't kill him. Please," Xiao Xi shed tears and felt remorseful at the same time. If I had known this situation, I should have forced myself on him last night. Shengmi Once the rice is cooked, there is no need to do so much now.
Emperor Yi's heart was not made of iron. Seeing his beloved daughter in such pain, he could not bear to continue talking. The queen whispered a few words in Emperor Yi's ear.
When Xiao Xi saw her mother helping to rescue the siege, she couldn't help but look at her father expectantly. After listening to the queen's words, Emperor Yi sighed and said to Xiao Xi, "Okay, it's okay not to kill him."
Nie Lanhui on the side frowned, not expecting that their love for Xiao Xi had reached such an extent.
"However, you must promise me two things," Yi Di looked at Xiao Xi and said.
"Dad, tell me." As long as there is a chance to save Hou Kai, Xiao Xi will certainly agree.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The first thing is that I will interrogate him personally tomorrow and then decide his punishment, but I will not kill him." Although Xiao Xi is very reluctant, at least for now Trying to save Hou Kai's life is the top priority. "As for the second thing, your mother will tell you tonight. Only if you agree to these two things, I will agree to spare him the death penalty."
Xiao Xi looked at his parents and the proud Nie Lanhui and could only nod.
………
On the other side, Hou Kai, who was undergoing the purgatory test of the scorching sun, was frighteningly pale. Due to the loss of water, his body could no longer secrete sweat in order to protect the most basic moisture. His lips were even more horrifying, with a dry and popping appearance. Everyone felt chilled.
And Xiao Xi now has no idea what kind of treatment the person he likes is experiencing.
Hou Kai's curled up body was shaking constantly, the scenery in front of him became hazy from time to time, and his brain was groggy. He wanted to faint but couldn't. It was not only physical, but also mental torture. , the whole person looked extremely embarrassed, and his high-spirited appearance in the morning was completely gone.
Time gradually passed, and the scenery in Hou Kai's eyes began to gradually become blurry. His body had reached the limit of dehydration and began to produce a protective mechanism, causing him to enter a coma. In a coma, a person's perception of the surroundings is reduced to a minimum, thereby improving The human body's adaptability to the environment.
At this moment, Hou Kai's last consciousness vaguely felt the sound of footsteps approaching him. Although he wanted to look up, his body refused to obey and he couldn't exert any strength. When the footsteps stopped beside him, he suddenly He felt his collar being pulled and his whole body being lifted into the air. Hou Kai's eyes were blurry and he couldn't see clearly who was carrying him.
Nie Lanhui held Hou Kai with one hand, took the tea handed over by Mo Mukai with the other hand, took a sip, and sprayed it on Hou Kai's face.
Suddenly he felt a coolness on his face, which temporarily dispelled the haziness in Hou Kai's eyes. He saw clearly that the person carrying him was Nie Lanhui. His body immediately wanted to resist, but in his current state, it was impossible to break away. "So... it's you... , why...you miss me so much in broad daylight," Hou Kai's voice was small and hoarse, like an old man who was about to die. Nie Lanhui was so close to him that he could hear it clearly.
"Yes, I really miss you so much," he also emphasized the pronunciation of the word "death". "No, as soon as I finished our sweet lunch with the princess, I came over to see what you look like now." Nie Lanhui hummed and smiled, "I feel so happy when I see you looking like this. How about I, this scorching sun purgatory feels pretty good, right?"
"It's... average. This is just... as comfortable as taking a bath. Is there anything... more exciting?"
"Hmph, you're so stubborn even though you're acting like this," Nie Lanhui began to look over his whole body. His eyes suddenly stopped at a jade plaque around his waist, and he pulled it off from his body and looked at it carefully, "Oh, The texture of the jade on your body is so pure. Even if you search through the jade in the palace treasure house, you can't find anything comparable to this jade. I will take this treasure as a wedding gift from you to me and Xiao Xi. Went there, just in time to make a pair of dragon and phoenix jade rings,"
The equipment equipped on the body cannot be snatched away, but other items can be snatched away. The leader's jade pendant is just a token, not an equipment.
Hou Kai saw the leader's jade pendant being snatched away by Nie Lanhui. He became anxious and tried his best to grab the jade pendant back. "Oh, do you still want to take back what you gave away? You don't understand the rules too much." , I really don’t understand why little Princess Hush is in love with you,”
"Give it back to me...Give it back to me,,," Hou Kai roared desperately. Although he was angry, Hou Kai did not lose his mind and revealed the function of the jade pendant.
"The more anxious I see you, the less I want to pay you back. Do you want to?" Nie Lanhui held the jade pendant and kept shaking it in front of Hou Kai's eyes. Hou Kai tried hard to grab it, but he couldn't get it at all. He was just playing with a toy. Playing with Hou Kai, Hou Kai kept saying, "Give it back...Give it back...Give it back to me..."
After playing with Hou Kai for a while, he suddenly let go of his hand holding Hou Kai's collar. Hou Kai fell heavily to the ground. "Sorry, sorry, my hand slipped," Nie Lanhui laughed loudly, still dissatisfied. He wiped the dirt on Hou Kai's clothes twice and said, "Just enjoy it here slowly, I won't play with you in the high temperature," and then strode away.
Hou Kai's eyelids were half-opened, watching Nie Lanhui's leaving steps, and tried his best to crawl over and grab his feet, but the things in front of him became increasingly blurry, and finally Hou Kai fainted.
Nie Lanhui played with the jade pendant in his hand, "Mo Mukai, please arrange a few people to guard him tonight. I'll go back and get some sleep first. I feel very comfortable today. Oh, by the way, there's no need to bring him dinner," he said. After finishing, he stretched his waist.
"Yes," Mo Mukai replied respectfully.
Hou Kai's coma lasted until the evening when he woke up. The sunlight was finally not so intense. Looking at the sun that was beginning to set, Hou Kai rolled over and faced the sky. "I didn't expect that this time, I would be in such an embarrassing situation." , Nie Lanhui, you are so damn smart," Hou Kai murmured with his eyes closed. It would be a waste of effort to move now anyway. Besides, there is no strength to move. You have been exposed to the sun for a whole day without eating or drinking. Who can replace it with ordinary people? It is also difficult to hold on, but it is more comfortable to lie down like this.
Tick tock tick tock
Not only did it say when, it began to drizzle in the sky. Hou Kai opened his eyes. The sky was completely dark at this time. He opened his mouth to let the rain fall into his mouth to quench his thirst. This rain came. At the right time, Hou Kai bathed in the drizzle to his heart's content. His body felt much more comfortable as it received some water replenishment.
I don't know how long it took, but when Hou Kai opened his eyes again, he suddenly received a secret message from Xinyue, "Brother, what's going on now? We got your location and will come to rescue you tonight," and he quickly replied with a secret message. Talk to comfort them and tell them not to be anxious and start doing whatever they want right away.
Due to the erosion of the rain, the effect of the butterfly incense was washed away. As soon as I activated the freewheeling system, it issued a prompt saying that the space here was sealed and space skills could not be used. God gave me hope, but I still couldn't escape from here.
"It seems that God is helping you. I have to say that your life is really tough," Mo Kaimu's voice reached Hou Kai's ears.
Hou Kai opened his eyes and looked at him sitting next to him. He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand and drinking sip after sip. Hou Kai responded to him, "You came very diligently today," and his voice also recovered. A little bit louder, but still very hoarse.
Mo Mukai glanced at him, "It's just that the captain told me to keep an eye on you. Do you think I'm willing to come here?" After speaking, he took another sip of wine.
"Oh, really, it looks like you have a complaint against your captain,"
"Complaints, what complaints can I have? He is the number one genius combat master in the palace and the future pillar of the empire." Although he seemed to be very proud when he said it, this was just a complaint.
