Novel Bin Chapter 271 - 271 Eyebrows
The world turned quiet again.
Qiu Ye was the first to laugh and break the silence while everyone stifled the laughter.
Then, Qiu Ye took out a loudspeaker and shouted at Bo Silin’s back, “Farewell, Your Majesty!”
With that, the two figures disappeared.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief the moment they were out of sight.
“Alright, alright, it’s finally over!” Qiu Ye called out to everyone, “Go back to your own tents! There’s an event tomorrow! Stop fooling around! You’re all killing me with this nonsense!”
…
Bo Silin walked under the moonlight.
Su Feifei’s eyes were half-closed, but she was very obedient on the way back and didn’t say a word. She only started to struggle when she was about to reach the tent.
“Hat, the hat!”
Bo Silin quickly turned her head so that she could not see the hat.
After passing by the tent where the food was stored, Su Feifei plunged into her role again.
She repeatedly nodded in front of the rice.
“Not bad, there’s enough food. This year’s grains are abundant. The people won’t have to worry anymore.”
“The people have you, of course, they don’t have to worry.”
Bo Silin said slowly as he supported her to the side of the bed and put her down.
Then, he covered Su Feifei with the blanket.
The person on the bed had her hair down. Then, she suddenly reached out and pulled his face closer.
“Consort Lin, let me tell you a secret. Do you want to hear it?”
Bo Silin’s body stiffened.
The memories rushed towards him like a tide.
He pursed his lips. “I don’t really want to hear it.”
He hadn’t forgotten about what happened just now. After he agreed, all the hairs on his body were counted.
“No,” Su Feifei pulled both his ears and looked at him. “You have to listen.”
Bo Silin pursed his lips. He was starstruck as he looked at her face and sparkling eyes.
“Alright, speak.”
“I feel pain here.” Su Feifei slowly reached out and touched her forehead. “It hurts every day.”
Bo Silin’s movements paused and his eyes slowly darkened.
“Every day?”
“Yes, in my dreams.”
“You feel the pain in your dreams?”
Su Feifei nodded softly, “Someone told me that General Wei committed treason. However, I didn’t believe it. I let the rebels enter the city. It’s me, I personally opened the city gates! I never believed that he would betray me!”
Her fingers paused and she pursed her lips.
She did not continue after that. The night could conceal many things. However, it couldn’t hide the fear and trembling in her voice. She couldn’t hide the regret flowing out of her red eyes.
“They will hate me for life…” Su Feifei lowered her eyes and murmured. “They all will. Xiao Ya, Ran Ran…
She gave a long list of names, and none of them were repeated.
Every time Bo Silin heard a name… Her heart sank a little. It turned out that someone had already reported Wei Ling’s treason, but she did not believe it.
That’s why she’s still not over it. In this world, was there anything more regretful than a could have been?
The night wind blew past the tent, lifting a corner of the tent’s door.
After a long time, Bo Silin slowly reached out and held her fist in his palm.
“Such a fierce person,” when he held her in his hands, she immediately felt comforted. “They won’t hate you,” he confidently said.
“They will.” Su Feifei said in a low voice.
Bo Silin pulled her aside and asked, “Do you remember my special powers? I guessed Gu Sheng and Qin Ya’s plan right, remember?”
Su Feifei looked up at him. This time, her eyes were clear. She was no longer drunk. She furrowed her brows and tried to focus on him. He was like colored glass, transparent and clean, and one could see the bottom with a glance.
“I remember.” She nodded.
“Then I can also guess what the people of Great Yan are thinking now.”
He reached out and touched her black hair. Then, he sat by the bed and paused for a long time before he said in a low voice,
“They said that you were the best Empress they have ever met.
“They said that you cared a lot about them, and they care about you too.
“They also said that this world is God’s reward for you.
“That’s because you were the greatest treasure in the world. You should have lived a perfect life.
“That’s why you’re here.”
Su Feifei’s hand on his palm moved slightly.
“Really?” Her voice was a little hoarse. It was filled with hope and caution. The look in her eyes spoke volumes. It seemed to be pleading and hoping that what he said was true.
Bo Silin’s heart skipped a beat. He had never seen this kind of vulnerable look from her before.
“It’s true.” He said seriously.
Su Feifei burst into laughter. She was satisfied and pulled the blanket up.
“My beloved consort, come to me.” Su Feifei patted the pillow beside her.
Bo Silin paused and leaned on the bed. Then, he moved over and pulled her into his arms.
Su Feifei didn’t struggle. She nestled in his arms and her breathing soon stabilized.
In this dream, the flag of Great Yan was hanging on the city wall, fluttering in the wind.
She was on her horse and heard shouts from both sides when she galloped over the main road.
“Her Majesty has returned to the city! Open the door! Quickly, open the door!”
The soldiers on the city gate tower cheered.
She reined in her horse and returned to her senses. With her iron armor and red cloak, she flicked her hair and turned back with a laugh.
In the haziness, the black arrow was once again mounted on the city rower.
Her smile froze.
However, in the next second… The arrow magically disappeared, and in its place was a blurry smile.
The man’s skin was extremely fair. He sat on the city gate tower, leaning against the setting sun. The thief who had sneaked an attack with an arrow was hanging beside him.
In a daze, she felt water trickling down her cheeks. Something was printed on it, but it left quickly.
That night, she finally had a sweet dream.
After that, the scene in the dream changed. For a moment, Qiao Hefeng was wriggling around in his Spongebob suit, for a moment, Xiao He’s charge horn was heard, and for a moment, Tian Tian’s nose was red from crying.
They came one after another. Every scene felt like a movie.
Su Feifei opened her eyes at dawn. She stood up and grabbed her head in agony.
“Did I have a nightmare last night?”
The fragmented memories she had were slowly being pieced together… She remembered tracking a sip of gas station. Then, she must have slept till dawn.
Who knew that drinking gas station would have such helpful effects?
She decided to drink more next time to have a good night’s sleep. It would save her from being haunted by nightmares every time.
Su Feifei nodded and walked out of the encampment.
It was empty outside, only Su Ling was seen sweeping the fallen leaves. When her eyes swept over, Su Ling’s body stiffened.
“Where are they?” She asked.
“Oh…” Su Ling shrank back in fear, “They all went to the river.”
The river?
Su Feifei immediately looked up.
There was a competition today!
She quickly moved and arrived at the river. Not far away, the crowd had already lined up. Qiu Ye was standing at the front with a loudspeaker.
“This time, we’ll draw lots to select the participants!” He said, “All the names are mixed up and we will select them in pairs! Good luck!”
“Your Majesty! Over here!” Xiao He waved his hand.
When everyone heard this form of address, they all froze. It was obvious that the trauma from last night had not subsided.
[The trauma persists!]
[Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please take my son as one of your generals!]
[Shut up! Your Majesty, take mine instead!]
Su Feifei walked over to Bo Silin. “Why didn’t you call me?”
“I thought you needed that extra sleep.” Bo Silin said.
The two of them looked at each other, and Su Feifei raised her eyebrows. Bo Silin’s gaze slid down from the corner of her eyes to her neck. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled her collar.
“What’s wrong?” Su Feifei asked.
“It’s fine.” Bo Silin said as he glanced at Gu Sheng who had been standing at the side for a long time.
Gu Sheng was speechless.
Very good. Finally, someone realized that he was not transparent.
[He pulled her in just like that?!]
[What’s on Su Feifei’s neck?]
[What’s wrong with me? Why am I looking for binoculars so I can see clearer?]
“The drawing of lots begins!” Qiu Ye said.
