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

He knows very well what his wife's temperament is, but he has always tolerated it.

The only legitimate son died young because he was too harsh. He felt deeply guilty. The Yue family committed an offense and angered Pei Xu, so he went to beg for forgiveness with a shy face.

But Pei Zhi was not that easy to fool. When the late king was angry, he scolded him for having a heart as hard as iron. Marquis Gaolingting's scalp went numb when he thought of Pei Shen's death.

"Are you going to cut out your tongue, kill yourself, or ask yourself to go down to the palace and shave your hair to become a sister-in-law?"

Someone from Prince Wei's palace came outside and saw the woman in the hall holding a dagger in her hand, and said quickly: "King Wei said that the princess was kind-hearted and advised him to be merciful, so Madam Hou does not need to kill herself. Please be careful in your words and deeds in the future. "

Mrs. Gaolingting looked at the dagger and was careful about her words and actions, because she wanted a tongue.

She didn't believe it was King Wei himself. There were several men in the world who didn't want to take concubines. It was probably the princess who had blown the pillow wind.

She glanced at her husband and found that he seemed a little disappointed, and couldn't help but sneered.

"The King of Wei has given you this dagger today. My husband must be very happy. When I killed that outer chamber with a stick, you almost lost one eye from crying. It's a pity that her family are all slaves. You can't deal with me. And I am my grandfather who will do it for you personally." It’s settled that you can’t divorce me easily, and you owe my son a life.”

Marquis Gaolingting's face was livid, the people from the Wei Palace had not left yet, what was she talking about?

"You spent money to build a temple outside Chang'an to pray for the next life. You don't know that her body was not intact before I crushed her bones and raised her to ashes. She couldn't be reborn at all."

The more she thought about it, the more she hated her. She hated both her husband and the King of Wei, who would get furious because of a few words. He would say anything as if he was mad: "The men of the Pei family all have the same virtues. They are obviously from a noble family, but they hate..." You cannot kneel under a woman’s skirt.”

"You don't love aristocratic women, and you do everything possible to please a slave woman. She didn't miss you before she died. King Wei also——"

Before she finished speaking, Marquis Gaolingting had veins popping out on his forehead. Knowing what she was going to say next, he grabbed the dagger and stabbed it from his chest without hesitation.

He said to the frightened servant of Prince Wei's palace: "Please report back to Prince Wei. The dagger is very sharp. Unfortunately, my wife died suddenly of illness and cannot use it anymore."

After Pei Zhi heard what happened in the Hou Mansion, he broke the pen in his hand into two pieces.

He thought that Yu Tingwan's expression was because he was too violent, so he thought of sparing Madam Gaolingting Hou's life, but he didn't expect that she was looking for death.

*

It was warm and cozy in the Guanju courtyard. Under the heavy curtains on the bed, Yu Tingwan suddenly asked, "I heard that Madam Gaolingting Hou is dead."

"The Hou Mansion said she was seriously ill, but it was actually Marquis Gaolingting who killed her." Pei Zhi said hurriedly: "I ordered people to go to the Hou Mansion so that she would not have to commit suicide."

Yu Tingwan was dubious and a little uneasy, "Really? How could Marquis Gaolingting kill her?"

"My uncle once saw the dancing girl of the upper Yuan family. When she was about to come, Mrs. Pei did not allow her to come in, so my uncle placed her outside. After they got married, Mrs. Hou burned the yard while my uncle was on the march."

"This matter became known throughout the city. When my uncle came back, he wanted to kill her, but he was stopped by the tribe. After that, the two of them treated each other as guests." Pei Zhi picked up a strand of the woman's hair in his arms, "Over the years, I thought that my uncle had already Forget about this."

"Today, for the first time, she mentioned that the woman was dismembered and her bones scattered, so my uncle took action."

Yu Tingwan's lips turned pale, and Pei Zhi chuckled softly: "Wanwan, do you know what she said before she died?"

"She said that all the men in the Pei family wished they could kneel under the hem of a woman's skirt." He looked at Yu Tingwan's shocked face and said lightly, "I was naturally angry when I heard this, but when I think about it carefully, in your place , I did kneel down many times.”

Thinking that he would say something serious, Yu Tingwan's face suddenly turned red, and she turned away silently. She didn't know what she was thinking, and her voice was a little dull: "How pitiful."

"Wanwan is talking about the Marquis of Gaolingting?" Pei Zhi was a little surprised.

"That dancing girl, Marquis Gaolingting will rule her for the rest of her life with just one sentence. She will not be able to make a living by herself even if she is a slave. Mrs. Hou will kill her and her family at will, and there will be no consequences."

"The Marquis doesn't seem to like her that much. From what you said, he killed his wife today more because Mrs. Marquis offended you and humiliated the Pei family. He was just thinking about the Marquis's family. If it hadn't happened today, everyone would have done it. Live well."

Yu Tingwan suddenly turned his head and looked at the man beside him, "I was born in troubled times. I have seen hungry children and noble women whose families were destroyed due to war."

Her throat was slightly choked, and she approached him: "But your Majesty, only after coming to Chang'an can you really know what it means to live like a piece of grass."

She didn't like it here at all, but she couldn't seem to go anywhere.

Pei Zhi looked into her eyes. Every time he heard a word, he felt a little more panicked, as if something slipped from his palm and he couldn't hold it or touch it.

But extremely important.

The eyes of the woman in front of him were clear and bright, without a drop of tears, but he felt that Wan Wan was far away from him and that he would leave one day when he found an opportunity.

On the contrary, she was closest to him today when she was crying sadly in his arms.

Pei Zhi subconsciously hugged her tightly, intertwined the five fingers of her right hand with one hand, and kissed her lips with a little urgency.

My mind kept thinking about how to answer her.

The inseparable state made him feel a little more at ease. After returning to his senses, he looked at her eyes that were like water waves, and remembered that when she was beside the Taiye Pond, she said, "Look at a person's body as you see him."

Pei Zhi's throat twitched slightly. When he was young, he once said that a king needs foreign Confucianism and internal law to govern the country. Anyone who believes in that and loves it is a fool.

He gently kissed the corner of the lips of the woman under him, thinking that Wanwan was not stupid at all, and this was good.

"Wanwan." Pei Zhi saw the person under him wake up, and whispered softly: "This is the way of the world. If you stay with me, whoever you feel pity for can save him with just a word, isn't it good?"

Yu Tingwan was stunned, "You are the only one who can decide life or death with just one sentence."

He held his breath for a moment and said slowly: "You can do it too. Power is a sword. Whoever cuts off the head depends on the sword holder's will. You are my wife, so you naturally have the power to hold the sword."

Seeing the look of the woman under him relax for a moment, Pei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more relaxed.

"Wanwan, ever since I was young, scholars have been recommending themselves to me and explaining their wishes, whether they are asking for land or housing, or for peace in the world.

But in the final analysis, they are asking for my trust. They all understand that only by gaining my trust can they have a chance to achieve anything. "

"You have received what they have been asking for." Pei Zhi's voice was soft, like a feather brushing against her ears, "I will answer all your requests."
