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

"General Zhang's children are naturally good." Yu Tingwan was a little surprised, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I plan to let him be the prince's companion in the future." The man in a black dragon robe said with gentle eyes, "When I was a child, I studied with many sons of important ministers, such as Xu Xian, Chen Xi, Yang Ji, Fulin, Huan Yu, Xiao Feng..."

They have known one thing since they were young - they must be loyal to Pei Zhi, and only to Pei Zhi.

This kind of loyalty is so unbreakable that it is even so strong that Xiao Feng realizes that the blade is unavoidable and he is doomed to die. The last words he shouts are "I die in battle, and I am worthy of my lord's trust."

When Pei Zhi mentioned the word "Xiao Feng", he paused for a moment, "In short, you should be careful when choosing a companion to read. Zhang Ji's child must be among them."

"It's still early." Yu Tingwan's eyes were a little complicated, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Are you so sure that there will be a prince soon?"

"Don't worry." Pei Zhi smiled and squeezed her hand reassuringly, "Chen Xi is six years older than me, so he still stays with me."

Yu Tingwan didn't speak again until he returned to the dormitory. After taking a bath at night, he sat by the candle and read miscellaneous notes.

Pei Zhi sat next to her, and saw that the person beside him had a quiet expression, and his eyebrows were particularly gentle and watery when reflected by the candlelight.

Suddenly I remembered that I saw her trying to pick up the baby by the Taiye Pond today, with a smile on her lips, half of her face illuminated by the sunset, like a spring begonia.

He bent his head to her ear and murmured in a low voice: "Wanwan, it would be great if the person you are holding today is our child."

Yu Tingwan was relaxed when she suddenly heard this meaningless sentence and said smoothly: "General Zhang will be unhappy when he hears this. Why do you want someone else's if you don't have a child?"

After saying that, she realized something and sat up straight. Just as she was about to explain, she was hugged into her arms the next moment.

The moon was high in the sky, she was lying on the couch, slowly recovering, and suddenly asked: "You mentioned the prince recently, did someone say something before?"

Pei Zhi hugged the soft man in his arms tightly, remained silent for a moment, and whispered: "No."

Yu Tingwan didn't believe his tone and pause, "It must be the minister who said that there is no prince and advised you to accept a concubine."

"They don't dare to persuade me openly."

"That's tactful advice." She saw Pei Zhi acquiescing, and when he still wanted to continue, she pursed her lips and refused: "Your Majesty, I'm a little sleepy today."

After saying that, she turned to herself and pretended to sleep.

The bright moonlight shone into the inner hall through the glass window, and was mostly blocked by the golden curtain. The woman on the couch suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the man's face motionlessly, as if she was trying to trace his features with the meager light.

After Yin Shi, Yu Tingwan saw a faint light in the sky and closed his eyes. Not long after, he noticed a warm touch on his forehead and cheeks.

"Why did you wake up so early today?" Pei Zhi saw at a glance that the person in his arms was pretending to be asleep. When he saw her eyelashes trembling, he just laughed without revealing it.

When Yu Tingwan waited until he left, he was not sleepy at all and sat by the couch in a daze.

She was a little dizzy after not sleeping all night, and it took a long time before she got up. When Ruyi was combing her hair, she couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to use powder to cover your eyes today?"

"No need." Yu Tingwan opened the ivory dowry at hand and picked out the simplest peach wood hairpin inside.

"Your Majesty, are you going to wear this today?" Ruyi didn't know what was so special about this hairpin, but Yu Tingwan wore it half the time in a month.

"I didn't think about it." She held the hairpin in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, then suddenly said, "You can find a day and throw it away secretly."

Her voice was dry, "You don't have to tell me when to throw it away, and you don't have to tell me after you throw it away."

Ruyi didn't quite understand why he did this, and nodded in confusion.

"Your Majesty, would you like to rest for a while?" Ruyi watched as the Queen took the book in her hand upside down and read it for an hour without realizing it.

Yu Tingwan came to his senses and went to bed silently, not knowing when he fell asleep.

When it was almost time for lunch, she didn't wake up. It wasn't until she noticed someone grabbing her palm that she frowned half asleep and turned her back to the person.

Pei Zhi sat by the couch and looked at her back quietly. Thinking of the letter he received this morning, his face darkened a little.

He lowered his eyes and called "Wanwan" a few times. Seeing that she was fast asleep, he stood up and walked to the bronze mirror, opened the dowry, and when his eyes glanced at the familiar hairpin, his calm expression finally cracked into gaps.

He held the hairpin, sat under the window, looked at it in the sunlight for a moment, and finally put it in his sleeve. Suddenly he felt a stinging pain in his head, as if something was about to move, and he couldn't suppress it.

A slight sound came from not far away. Pei stood up with his hands on the edge of the table and walked to the couch.

"Your Majesty?" Yu Tingwan stood up suddenly, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality in a trance, with a confused face.

"Why are you having nightmares?"

She blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable when her long eyelashes were wet.

Maybe it was because Rang Ruyi threw away the hairpin. She dreamed that she was like countless queens living in Jiaofang Palace. She heard the young emperor's face blurred and whispered: "Wanwan, how can the emperor's harem only have one person."

"I didn't have any nightmares." She lowered her head and was suddenly hugged, and a sigh came from above her head.

Pei Zhi put one hand on the waist of the person in his arms, fearing that he might pinch her if he didn't hold back, and his voice was as light as a feather, falling in her ear, "Wanwan, are you hiding something from me?"

Yu Tingwan raised his eyes and looked at those dark pupils, and moved his lips.

There were two things she hid from him.

One is a capital crime and cannot be said. There was another thing that she didn't know how to say.

She hesitated for a while and shook her head slightly.

Seeing the denial from the person in his arms, Pei Zhi pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."

The letter that Mr. Baopu sent to the palace only said that the hairpin worn by Wanwan had been dipped in the incense. There was no real evidence and he should not doubt her.

He gently held the face of the woman in his arms, carefully rubbed the tears with his fingertips, and bent down to kiss the corner of her mouth.

Mr. Baopu waited in his house in Chang'an for a whole day, but there was no news.

Your Majesty had no intention of getting angry, as if what was said in the letter was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

It was not until night that a chamberlain finally brought a message from His Majesty.

After hearing this, Mr. Baopu suddenly turned purple with anger. Pei Zhi didn't believe it at all.

The old man wanted to vomit blood when he thought of the sentence "Slandering the Queen is an accomplice to conspiracy, sir, be careful what you say".

defamation? He wrote clearly and clearly in the letter. Could it be that he had to put the evidence in front of His Majesty?

"Since then, you will go to the palace with me tomorrow to meet the Holy Spirit."

After the young man responded, his eyes wandered and his expression was complicated.

Since the death of Princess Chengyang, Jingyi has been in chaos for a while. Since then, the Dongnv Kingdom has been closed and isolated from the world again. Anything unique to Dongnv is priceless.

The incense contained in Mr. Baopu's hand was only seven baht. If it were soaked in some jewelry or made into a sachet, it would not reach the concentration he smelled that day.

In these days, I found the only merchant in Yizhou who had a way to go. I looked through the account books of the past five years and found that someone had bought this incense twice in five years.

The first time it was only one baht, and the second time, about a year ago, I bought a full three taels.

At that time, Ji Ji stared at the price of Bizixiang and calculated silently. One Bizixiang was worth two hundred taels of gold, and one tael was worth twenty-four baht.

He used some tricks to find out who the buyer who spent millions of dollars was. When he heard Que Wen's name, he was astonished beyond measure.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems natural.

Mr. Cheng Nanshan, the divine doctor of Que, knew all about medicinal herbs in the world. He could only imagine that the Dongnu Kingdom, which had disappeared long ago, still shuns Zixiang so blindly. None of the imperial doctors noticed anything was wrong.

If Jiji hadn't had a very good nose and had been naughty in the past, rummaging through Mr. Baopu's stuff at the bottom of the box and smelling the fragrance, I'm afraid this matter could have been hidden forever.

In order to avoid wrongly accusing Dr. Que, who had helped Xuanhu Jishi, Jiji specifically asked the merchant if anyone else had bought the incense before.

Xing Shang said: "No more, who would take the trouble to buy such a thing."

Jiji took away the merchant's account book and took it with him to Chang'an, where it was placed in a wooden box at his hand.
