The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

She killed the two eunuchs back then, and her hands were covered with blood. When passing by Taiye Pond, she saw her third cousin coming from a distance, and hurriedly jumped into the water.

It was early winter, and there was a thin layer of broken ice on the water, which made her bones feel cold. Zhao Heng asked her what she was doing, and she said, "Third cousin, the Tao Xun you gave me last time fell."

Like a fool, Zhao Heng believed her words, let her go ashore, took off his cloak and put it on her, and jumped in to look for her for a long time. In the end, he became seriously ill from the cold and had a high fever for three days.

The first thing he did after he recovered was to apologize to her, "Xiao Shu, I'm sorry, I still haven't found it. I'll give you one next time."

The more Pei Shu thought about it, the more her heart ached and she couldn't breathe. She said intermittently: "In such a cold weather, I would rather jump into the water than let him see blood on my hands. Why are you forcing me?"

She said she didn't want to see Zhao Heng again in this life, and I'm afraid he didn't want to see her again either.

"I just handed the evidence to you. Why did I force you?"

Pei Zhi's face was pale, and his gaze passed over his sister's pale cheek without stopping for a moment.

Pei Shu said "good" three times in a row, "You know I can't ignore this and still say such things."

"Although I used to think that my eldest brother hated me for being stupid, I occasionally hoped for the friendship between brother and sister. When I was a child, my eldest brother hugged me. The hands holding the sword and the bow were also warm and made of flesh and blood. Now I realize that the eldest brother is Made of stone.”

Pei Zhi lowered his head, with a rare trace of guilt in his eyes, "Where do you want to add food? How about the profit?"

When it is profitable and produces salt, it is the most prosperous.

"Who cares about that?" Pei Shu was so angry that her chest heaved and she raised her face and tried her best to hold back her tears. "I don't want anything but the original Zhao Heng. Why do you want me to know that?"

She pinched the sleeve of the man in front of her tightly and asked: "If someone tells you one day that your eldest sister-in-law is not as indifferent to fame and fortune as she seems, and she only wants to marry you because she wants to be in the rear, how will you feel?"

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment, then there was a smile in his eyes, "I couldn't ask for more."

Pei Shu choked for a moment, changed the question, and sneered: "What if one day, someone forces you to kill someone in front of your eldest sister-in-law? You have seen many scenes of lying dead and bleeding for thousands of miles. It will be very difficult to expose the true nature of the Pei family in front of her." Is it difficult?"

"Does she know what it's like for you to kill Pei Shen?" The girl covered in blood looked slightly moved when she saw the man in front of her. "She told me last time that since we are brother and sister, what kind of hatred can we have? You told her that we Pei Shen A story about fratricide?"

"Brother, my sister-in-law is really unlucky to meet someone like you. I used to think that Zhao Heng would be pitiful enough when he met me, but I didn't expect -"

Pei Zhi's face, which was calm and composed just now, turned livid, "Pei Shu, just because you don't kill Zhao Heng, doesn't mean there are no other ways to torture him."

Pei Shu really no longer mentioned Yu Tingwan, but just looked directly into Pei Zhi's eyes. After a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed and said with a hint of self-deprecation: "I should hate you, but I have no position to hate you, just because I have all the power in my hands." From you.”

"Zhao Heng and I were acting together, and at the end you poured a basin of water on the stage and took the paint off everyone's faces. It was so embarrassing." Pei Shu squinted at a cloud in the distance, "I was killing assassins in the East Palace. , you used the assassination case to punish those violent southern nobles in the previous government, and we all have blood on our hands."

"Brother, will God protect people like us?" After she finished speaking, she continued: "Forgot, you don't believe this."

Pei Zhi remained silent, but when he passed by her, he said: "Being born in the Pei family, there is no need to ask for God's protection."

Seeing that he was about to enter the palace, Pei Shu looked at the back and mocked: "What? Are you afraid that he will commit suicide and cause trouble for you?"

"No."

The familiar cold voice had a chill in it, but it sounded like thunder on the ground when it reached her ears.

"Since it was you who did it, he would not choose to die together."

Pei Shu stared at him blankly until the purple clothes were completely hidden behind the palace door, motionless like a dummy carved from ice and snow, until the few maids brought by King Wei made a sound.

"Princess, King Wei has ordered your servants to help you go back."

Pei Shu looked her up and down and found that she was a maid from the East Palace. She sneered and said, "Eldest brother is so considerate. He didn't forget to take you with him when he came."

Ignoring the blood stains on her gorgeous clothes, she got on the sedan chair and said, "I want to go to Taiye Pond."

It was almost the beginning of winter, and the water in the pool was cold. She was sitting by a stone beside the pool. The sky was dark, and the people in the palace were trembling with fear, fearing that she would jump off.

Sensing the worry of the palace people, she said calmly, "Don't worry, King Wei is not dead, how could I seek death."

The words shocked the surrounding palace people into silence, and they knelt on the ground and begged her to be careful about what she said.

Pei Shu stood up and said, "Are you afraid that he will be like this? You are all his people. Go and tell him this."

*

After Pei Zhi heard what the Crown Princess said, he didn't react at all. He only ordered: "Those who are watching the East Palace can cut off another half."

No matter how much Pei Shu hates King Wei, she is also a member of the Pei family. She has always valued the word "Pei" more than anything else. She will keep an eye on Zhao Heng.

The prince finally calmed down and put all his thoughts aside. He drank and played music in the East Palace, drunkenly and dreamily.

Pei Zhi lowered his eyes and paused for a moment with the pen in his hand on top of the paper, not knowing how to put it down.

In the end, there were only a few sentences.

"The winter in Chang'an is cold and frosty, and the steps are covered with clear frost. Don't forget to wear more clothes."

When the letter was delivered to Yu Tingwan, Marquis Pingyang glanced at it, half-smiling, and said to Zhanlongwei who was delivering the message: "What is the relationship between Chang'an Leng and Lingji? Did my lord write it wrong?"

The dragon-slaying guard who delivered the letter was still young. He lowered his head and said, "My lord said that since winter has come, the princess can come back early."

"You go back and reassure me, my lord. I have already prepared my early winter clothes when I come. Don't be in a hurry."

As soon as Marquis Pingyang finished speaking, the young man who sent the message turned red in the face. If he told the truth about what Yu Xiuyun said to his lord, he might be angry.

Yu Tingwan put down the letter. She was in a good mood in her hometown recently. Seeing the troubled look on the young man's face, she said softly: "My brother and I were planning to return in the next few days."

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard that King Wei was assassinated during the prince's wedding, but was he injured?"

This summer has been very hot, and now it's a warm winter, and the winter cold is extremely cold. Could it be that he was injured that day and hasn't recovered well yet.

"No, don't worry, Princess." The young man's eyes were bright, and he took these words back, and the lord must be in a good mood.

Chi Ying was outside the door and took a cold glance. Whoever brought out the new couple was so happy.

Chen Xing coughed lightly and said, "In a few days it will be the day for Dragon Slaying Guard's school entrance examination. If my master is in a good mood, they will also feel better."

"That's nonsense. When did my lord's affair affect Dragon Slaying Guard's examination?"

Seeing Chi Ying's neck stiffened and no oil or salt coming in, Chen Xing silently rolled his eyes.

He only had King Wei as his master in his heart, and it was not a happy time to leave Chang'an this time. He did not dare to say anything in front of the princess, and kept his face down in the dark.

In order to guard against assassins, they took different routes back and forth. On the third day of their return, they settled in Yuan County, Pingyuan County.

The carriage was driving on the road, and behind it came a group of people, who looked like servants from some house, and blocked the road ahead.

Yu Xiuyun frowned and ordered his servants to go down and take a look, just to let a way out.

After a while, the servant's face was full of anger: "My lord, you are a branch of the Pingyuan Lu family in Yuan County. They said they have important matters, so just let the irrelevant people wait."

"What important matter can they have? In front of them is the government office. There is a woman who wants to report to the official. They are here to arrest her and take her away."

After saying that, the servant hesitated and turned to Yu Tingwan, "They also said that they are valued by King Wei and the government will not take care of the case."

"What kind of case is it?" Yu Tingwan raised the curtain of the car, looking serious.

When Pei Zhi is handling official business, if she is around, after approving the documents, he will mention some officials to her.

Whether they were praising or complaining, they never mentioned Pingyuan Lu family, so why should they take it seriously?

During this trip, Yu Xiuyun used a false identity along the way. After making eye contact with his sister, he gently knocked on the wall of the car and handed a token to the servant outside the car with a voice as cold as frost and snow.

"Tell them that the person in the car is Prime Minister Sizhi Li Wei. Bring the woman here."
