MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 53

  Chapter 53

   On the second day, Wen Ning and Linglan woke up early.

  Wen Ning wants to go to the winery, she has to go down the mountain first, and then go west for half an hour. There are some mountain roads on the road, and it is difficult to pass when there are many people.

   It's not Wen Qi's turn to be on duty today, she agreed with him earlier, see you at the winery today.

  Thinking of the details finalized with Duan Rushuang these days, Wen Ning was a little excited. The breakfast in the temple was always early, and before dawn, she and Linglan made preparations and went down the mountain in a carriage.

  Gu Fei and Pei You happened to be one step behind her.

  Gu Fei scratched the back of his neck when he saw their carriage, and said strangely: "Hey, I thought they left yesterday..."

   Pei You glanced over.

  Gu Fei immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, that carriage belongs to the girls of the Wen family. Do you want to wait for them to go for a while before setting off?"

  Pei You turned his head sideways and squinted at the past. The morning light was thin, and Wen Ning didn't notice them behind him. The maid beside her helped her into the carriage, and then turned around to pull her.

  It looks like a master and servant.

  Pei You snorted lightly.

   "No need." Turn around and get on the carriage.

  Wen Ning hired a coachman yesterday, and sat peacefully in the carriage with Linglan, hugging Mrs. Tang, wanting the carriage to go faster.

  But after all, it was not yet dawn, and it would be difficult to walk on the mountain road too early, so I just let it go, and chatted with Linglan in the carriage without saying a word.

  Gu Fei was not treated as well as Linglan, and he drove the carriage himself.

  He was clear about the affairs between Wen Ning and his elder son, and he didn't want them to see the elder son and cause some trouble, so he deliberately slowed down the horse's speed and fell behind them.

   Unexpectedly, they didn't go back to Beijing. Halfway through, the carriage turned left and headed west.

  Gu Fei was suddenly a little distracted. There are many workshops in the west of the capital, because the land price is cheaper there, and the government's various controls are not so strict.

   But there is also a rugged mountain road over there.

   "Gu Fei, what are you doing?" Pei You's slightly displeased voice came from inside the carriage.

   As soon as Gu Fei thought about it, his speed of driving the horse slowed down. When Pei You asked this question, he hesitated even more.

  He knew that the son had urgent matters to deal with when he returned to Beijing, but...

  Gu Fei simply stopped his horse, turned back into the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I just saw the Wen family's carriage and went west..."

  Pei You looked at him inexplicably.

Gu Fei took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday I saw two servants from the Zhao family sneaking around in the Wen family's carriage, although I don't know what they are doing, but just in case... If it is going back to Beijing, the journey will be smooth There will be no problem, but there is a section of rugged mountain road to the west, in case the carriage is tampered with..."

  That would kill someone!

  Although the eldest son of his family doesn't like Miss Wen's family, he clearly cared about her life and death when the teahouse was flooded, and the one who protected her behind him...

   "My lord, do we want to..." Gu Fei wanted to ask whether he should follow them, and stepped forward to remind them to check the carriage.

   Before he finished speaking, Pei You's expression changed.

  He got up suddenly, and got out of the carriage very quickly. Before Gu Fei could react, he saw that he had already untied the reins from the horse connected to the carriage, and raised his hand to whip the horse down.

   "Your Majesty!" Gu Fei hurried over, untied another horse, and hurriedly followed.

  Wen Ning and Linglan were sitting in the carriage. At first, they didn't feel that the wheels probably passed a slightly deep hole. When they heard a "click", they felt that the carriage was shaking.

   "Girl, I'll go out and have a look."

   Linglan lifted the curtain and went out, and told the coachman about the abnormality in the car. The coachman looked back, changed his face immediately, and hurriedly took the reins.

   The two horses were moving forward at a constant speed, but when the reins were pulled, one of them neighed loudly and rushed forward like a madman. As the speed of the car increased, the carriage behind shook even more, as if it was about to disperse.

   "What's going on here?" Linglan almost couldn't sit still, her face turned pale with shock, and she even tried to help the driver pull the reins.

  But there is a cliff not far ahead, if the horse does not turn the corner, it is bound to rush down.

   "It's too late, jump out of the car with me!"

  The driver grabbed Linglan and jumped down, Linglan only had time to turn her head and shout: "Girl!"

  One horse was still sensible and tried to stop at the mouth of the cliff, but the other horse continued to charge forward regardless. The carriage was not connected to the frame in front of it stably, and the two horses pulled one by one, disconnected from the frame directly, and rushed forward due to inertia.

   "Girl!" Linglan cried out in pain.

   At the same time, someone shouted from behind: "My son!"

  Linglan only felt a black shadow flash in front of her eyes, it was someone riding a horse and rushing towards the carriage that rolled down the cliff.

-

  Wen Ning's last consciousness was that the carriage suddenly bumped and moved forward rapidly. Linglan yelled "Girl" outside, and the carriage almost lost its balance.

   At a critical moment, she subconsciously clung to a corner of the carriage window, her whole body clinging to the wall of the carriage, but she couldn't stop the carriage from jolting violently, and finally lost consciousness with a bang.

  When she woke up again, she felt that her shoulder blades were so sore, and the pain on the outside of her right leg was densely drilled into her bones. She cleared the chaos in her mind, struggled to move, and her shoulder blades began to hurt.

   Opening her eyes, a glare of sunlight forced her to close them again.

etc.

  She could understand that she probably fell somewhere with the carriage, but the bottom of her head... seemed to be warm? Quite comfortable?

  Wen Ning stretched out her hand and touched it, it was really not an illusion...

   Not right.

  She opened her eyes suddenly, ignoring the pain in her shoulder blades, she straightened her body up, and saw Pei You with her eyes closed beside her.

  Wen Ning almost suspected that she was blind, how could Pei You be here? And it was Pei You's thigh that she was sleeping on just now?

  The hand that was touched just now became hot instantly.

  Wen Ning's leg hurts, she just sat on the ground, moved back silently, Pei You's face became clearer.

  His skin was always fair, and there were several scratches on his usually flawless face, and several wounds on his body, even the outer fur coat was scratched.

  His injuries were not limited to the few places visible to the naked eye. At this moment, his eyes were closed tightly, as if he had passed out.

  Wen Ning was the first time seeing Pei You in such a mess.

  He has always been glorious and aloof, how could he tolerate himself in such a situation? Even if she was injured on the battlefield in her previous life, she never appeared in front of her until she recovered.

   Probably because she was afraid that she would kill him while he was weak?

  Wen Ning moved back a little, and looked around.

   If it is said to kill him, now is an excellent opportunity.

  They were in a cave, and what just pierced Wen Ning's eyes was the sunlight shining into the cave.

  Look at the angle of the light, it's almost noon.

   There is nothing in the cave except some rocks.

  Wen Ning considered the possibility of killing him with a single blow with a stone, and gave up.

  It's not that I haven't tried it in my previous life, but this person is a martial artist, and she can only give him some minor injuries with all her strength. In the end, any sharp objects in her room will be confiscated.

   Today is different from the past.

  He hasn't done those things that are worse than beasts, so there is no need to take the risk of failing to try to take his life.

  Wen Ning really couldn't figure out why she could meet Pei You even when she fell off a cliff, or the injured Pei You, he couldn't have fallen off the cliff just to save her, right?

  Wen Ning immediately denied this idea.

  Because Pei You woke up.

  His fan-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he opened his eyes suddenly, his black eyes were astonishingly bright, and he looked over at the next moment, when his eyes fell on her face, they instantly became calm, and then slowly sank.

  Wen Ning watched him grit her teeth, her eyes fixed on her more closely, then stood up and walked towards her step by step.

  Wen Ning subconsciously moved back a little bit, and a layer of wet coolness emerged from her back.

————

  Just now, she didn't want to take his life, but now, Pei You has murderous intentions towards her.

   Ah, I accidentally got a little skinny today... I'll add an update tomorrow!
