Bailiheng was indeed very drunk, and with the pills Shi Qinghuan gave him to heal his wounds, he slept very deeply all the way. Even when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and was helped back to his room, he didn't wake up.
Shi Qinghuan was worried about his injury, so he didn't leave. He spent the whole night watching the medicine boiling, and in the middle of the night, he leaned against the window and fell asleep.
The morning sun was bright and gentle, falling softly on Shi Qinghuan's body.
Her whole body was bathed in this soft light, feeling peaceful and beautiful.
The first thing Bailiheng saw when he woke up was this scene.
Sleeping quietly by the window, it seems familiar.
Yes, ten years ago, when he was discussing with the soldiers on the city tower how to deal with the enemy, she was leaning against the window like this, closing her eyes and concentrating.
The posture and expression are exactly the same.
Baili Heng chuckled lightly, then got up and got out of bed, carefully took the cloak, walked to Shi Qinghuan's side, and covered her gently.
Her eyes were bruised, and there was still some boiled soup on the table. Bailiheng knew that it must be because of him that she had not rested.
Staring carefully, the tenderness in his eyes is like spring water that cannot be dissolved.
At this moment of tenderness, footsteps suddenly appeared outside, and then the door was opened and Zhang Yue ran in.
"grown ups..."
This movement completely startled Shi Qinghuan awake, and he subconsciously got up and grabbed Bailiheng's hand.
Bailiheng frowned and looked at Zhang Yue, obviously angry, "Why are you always so flustered? Didn't I tell you to knock before entering?"
"I forgot!"
Bailiheng sighed and turned to look at Shi Qinghuan, whose face was a little pale, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I was just shocked."
Shi Qinghuan took a deep breath to adjust, and then realized that his hand was still holding Baili Heng's hand.
The fingertips are interlaced, and there is a tendency to interlock them.
She quickly took her hand back and then stood up.
Seeing this, Bailiheng stepped back and distanced himself, then looked at Zhang Yue, "Why are you so anxious?"
"The person brought by the mission has been sent to the Supervision Department."
Upon hearing this, Bailiheng's expression changed instantly and he walked quickly outside.
But halfway through, he seemed to remember something again, so he came back quickly, picked up the soup on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing Bailiheng turning around and leaving again, Shi Qinghuan looked at the empty medicine bowl and was stunned for a moment before quickly following him.
When we arrived at the Supervision Department, Lu Hongwen was also there.
Bailiheng stepped forward to talk to Lu Hongwen, while Shi Qinghuan went straight into the cell to help Wang Dong feel his pulse.
As soon as he saw Bailiheng, Lu Hongwen said, "His Majesty's intention is that the two of us should join forces to find out something."
"What about him?"
"Life or death!"
Bailiheng's breath became heavy again, and he turned to look at Lu Hongwen, "Is this what Lu Shangshu meant too?"
"Of course not. Although I have never seen Beiyao's army, the so-called truth is often just in the appearance."
"Appreciate further details."
"Not to mention that Beiyao's army has been stationed at the border for more than ten years and has never made any mistakes. There will definitely be no traitors among them. Furthermore, if he is really a traitor and has helped the Xiaoye State to achieve such great achievements, how could he be like this? Tragic situation.”
Lu Hongwen pointed at Wang Dong inside, "I checked, and there are countless new injuries on top of old ones. He must have been tortured for ten years. This is not the treatment that a hero deserves. I think it should be It was in Silanshan that he was captured alive. He was interrogated continuously for ten years but still did not let go. There was absolutely nothing they could do, so they deliberately brought him back to disgust our government in the name of a traitor. And let him die in my life. Taking it into his own hands can be regarded as revenge for him not saying a word for ten years."
Lu Hongwen saw things very clearly. After Bailiheng listened, his breath became gentle.
"Then how does Lu Shangshu think this matter should be handled?"
"Loyal people should have a good ending. I think the left prime minister and I have the same idea."
As the two of them talked, neither of them saw Shi Qinghuan's frown inside.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Qinghuan walked out with a heavy look on his face.
"It's useless. All plans are useless."
Seeing her look like this, Bailiheng understood instantly, "Is there no other way?"
Shi Qinghuan shook his head, "After more than ten years of torture, he has run out of energy and is unable to make a comeback. Dai Xishan and the others also calculated the day and deliberately left him hanging, but in fact, he could not get out of this cell at all. "
After Shi Qinghuan said this, Bailiheng's face turned pale.
Seeing this, Lu Hongwen sighed, "I will go to the Holy Spirit to fight for his posthumous reputation."
After that, he turned around and left.
The cell fell silent, and Shi Qinghuan looked at Bailiheng worriedly.
His whole person exuded a dangerous aura, which was the ultimate expression of grief wrapped in anger. He turned around and walked into the prison. He looked at Wang Dong, who could no longer be called a human. His eyes were red, and he stretched out his hands tremblingly, but he did not dare to touch him. touch.
Seeing Wang Dong's frown and the corners of his lips that twitched from time to time, Bailiheng looked at Shi Qinghuan.
"Is he...in pain?"
"Life is worse than death."
Shi Qinghuan told the truth.
Bailiheng's body trembled, and he stared at Wang Dong for a long time. Finally, he closed his eyes and said, "Can your dream be..."
Bailiheng choked up and couldn't say the next words. Shi Qinghuan quickly answered, "Yes, we can let him...leave peacefully in his sweet dream."
Bailiheng held his hands tightly and was silent for a long time before standing up.
"Give it to him!"
Seeing Bailiheng's appearance, Shi Qinghuan's eyes were slightly red. He took out Menglao from his arms and gave it to Wang Dong along with the poison that would make him leave painlessly.
After a while, Wang Dong's brows relaxed, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
Shi Qinghuan knew that he might have returned to his happiest period.
Maybe it was a family reunion, or maybe it was the soldiers of the Manchu Army toasting together and drinking together in the freezing cold background...
Looking at Wang Dong, Bailiheng slowly leaned over to his ear.
"Go with peace of mind, I will... seek justice for you."
Then he lowered his voice in a very light tone.
Shi Qinghuan couldn't hear what was said, but then, Wang Dong's smile deepened, and when a tear fell from the corner of his eye, his breath gradually died.
Shi Qinghuan checked his pulse and waited until he was completely breathless before standing up.
Bailiheng glanced at Shi Qinghuan and understood.
He lowered his head and clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.
Shi Qinghuan clearly saw tears falling in the dim light and shadow.
Her heart throbbed violently, and uncontrollably, she walked to his side. The impulse in her heart did not hesitate, she stretched out her hand and hugged his waist.
This action was unexpected.
Bailiheng couldn't help but be stunned, but then he turned around and held Shi Qinghuan tightly in his arms.
His whole body was buried in the crook of her neck.
Silent grief, but hot tears slid down Shi Qinghuan's neck one drop after another, so hot that her heart ached.
At this moment, she had no reason to wonder why Bailiheng was so hurt when someone she had seen passed away.
There was only one thing on her mind.
That is to stay with him.
Heal his pain.
It was involuntary, she couldn't control it, and she didn't want to control it.
In the dark cell, the two hugged each other tightly. It took a long time for Bailiheng to gradually recover.
After letting go of Shi Qinghuan, seeing her red eyes made her heart ripple.
If the secret room was his initiative to seek comfort before, now it is her initiative.
His eyes gradually became firm.
Without hesitation, he reached out his hand, brushed away the tears on her cheeks, and stared into her eyes.
At the moment of gazing, there was tenderness in his eyes, as if drawn by fate, Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but fall deeply in love just by looking at each other.
And Bailiheng also firmly knew that Shi Qinghuan was someone he would never let go of in his life.
