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

The sun shines through the glazed window and shines on the woman's phoenix crown. The golden dragon and emerald phoenix are dazzling, making the face underneath it even more beautiful.

Yu Tingwan tried to take it off as soon as he put it on, but frowned and said, "It's too heavy."

"This is the queen's crown, so it is naturally heavier." Pei Zhi looked at her with a smile in his eyes. After she put on her regular clothes, he motioned for her to sit in his arms.

Seeing the dull expression on the woman in his arms, he asked softly: "Is that the phoenix crown not to your liking?"

Yu Tingwan shook his head and suddenly asked: "Has your injury been bandaged?"

Suddenly hearing her ask about this, Pei Zhi laughed and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

"The hair and skin of your body are protected by your parents, so don't damage them easily." She lowered her eyelashes, "Don't do this in the future."

With a smile on his lips, Pei Zhi lifted her cheek, kissed the corner of her mouth, and whispered, "I will listen to you."

Seeing that Yu Tingwan's expression was much softer, at least there was no apparent disgust, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the blood shed was well worth it.

In the Xuanshi Hall, as before, he occasionally said a few words to the woman next to him when criticizing the book. Yu Tingwan only responded a few times, looking languid.

"Wan Wan don't want to be with me?" Pei Zhi stared into her eyes.

Yu Tingwan remembered the way he held her hand and pressed it to the wound, lowered her eyelashes and said, "No."

She paused for a moment and defended softly: "Brother is too busy recently, so I can't summon him to the palace, but I miss him."

"When we wait for the Queen's Standing Ceremony, we will naturally see him Wan Wan." Pei gently stroked her cheek with his palm, trying to say that the reason she gave randomly was a bit perfunctory. After hesitating for a moment, he still managed to squeeze out a smile and pretended not to know anything.

At night, Yu Tingwan was lying on the couch, watching the man next to him take off his black shirt, revealing his scars, and couldn't help but look pale.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Zhi stretched out his hand to brush away the hair stuck to her temples. He was in a good mood. He didn't reject him tonight, but he always seemed distracted.

Yu Tingwan stared at the old and new wounds on his chest and shoulders, breathing rapidly, remembering that Xi Mian had blamed him last night for not using scar removal cream.

She remembered that she had clearly used it on him, but later when she saw that the scar was still hideous, she felt that the ointment had no effect because the knife blocked her was too deep.

It turned out that he wanted to keep it himself.

She lightly touched the scar with her fingertips, "You told me back then that the celadon jar contained ointment for removing scars."

Pei Zhi then remembered that when Xi Mian talked too much yesterday, Yu Tingwan was still awake.

He said softly: "I didn't lie to you, but the medicine in the celadon jar was not made by Xi Mian."

Ordinary medicine is naturally useless for the wound that is so deep that the bone is visible.

He still wanted to explain, but the woman beneath him closed her eyes and said, "I understand."

Pei Zhi didn't bother her anymore. When he came back from court the next day, he saw her sitting in the inner hall, hugging Xiao Bai, and actually smiled when she saw him.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you."

Seeing the smile in her eyes, he was stunned for a moment, then sat down and said warmly: "Why do you need to ask me? I will comply with what you say."

"Can you remove the guards around me?"

Pei Zhi paused, his eyes focused on her face, and he nodded and said, "Okay, is Chen Xing not what you want?"

"No." She lowered her eyelashes and rubbed Xiaobai unconsciously with her fingers, "I am in the palace all day long, and there are palace people everywhere I go, so why should I let the guards follow me."

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Besides, I don't like being watched."

"Let the guards follow you just for your safety." Pei Zhi touched her cheek and said in a calm voice, "Who told you it was surveillance, Chen Xing?"

"No one told me." Yu Tingwan clutched his sleeves and her voice was tight, "You can casually mention what I said to my female family members during the day that night. I would be a fool if I couldn't guess."

Seeing that her eyes were watery, Pei Zhi choked for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "I'm going to evacuate those guards."

Yu Tingwan didn't expect him to respond so quickly, and was stunned for a moment.

"You and I spend most of the day together, so we don't need any guards." Pei Zhi hugged the person in his arms tightly, his voice soft, and when he saw her nodding, his eyes suddenly softened like water.

For several days, Pei Zhi saw that Yu Tingwan was treating his ministers more tolerantly as before. Important ministers who often came to the palace to meet the emperor knew that when the queen was in the Xuanshi Hall, his majesty was much gentler.

In the inner hall of the Xuan Dynasty, the man in front of the Imperial Case put down his cinnabar pen and said to the calm-looking woman next to him with suppressed anger: "The people in Tingwei Mansion procrastinate all day long. I guess they are too comfortable in Chang'an, so let them go out." It will take a few years.”

When Yu Tingwan heard the words, he glanced at the book in his hand. Tingwei Yang Ji was left by Pei Zhi the day before yesterday. When he returned, he took the left and right supervisors to write a letter saying that King Pei Su of Linzi had not accepted the vassal for a long time and was suspected of treason. His Majesty was taken to prison to await trial.

"Since you don't want to kill Pei Su, why did you say when Yang Ji mentioned King Linzi that the late king liked his second younger brother very much?" Yu Tingwan said softly: "Who doesn't know that the late king liked you and Xiao Shu the most? It will be natural for him to go back You have to try to figure out what’s best for you.”

"You also said that people in Tingwei's Mansion procrastinate in doing things. Even though Tingwei's youngest son is seriously ill, he still handles official business in the official office." She pursed her lips and said: "Your Majesty, it's not like everyone is like you. nor rest.”

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyelashes, looked at the envelope, and said in a low voice: "You hate it when ministers speculate on their superiors' intentions, but Yang Ji is the chief of the left prison, and when he asked him to submit a letter together, he couldn't refuse. Why is he so diligent? There was no reward at that time, but now I am going to be implicated.”

Since the woman beside him spoke, Pei Zhi's anger has disappeared by half, and he frowned and said, "His youngest son is seriously ill. When did it happen?"

"Before you ascended the throne. Your Dragon-Slaying Guards did not inquire about the affairs of the back house. If an official did such a thing, I am afraid that it would be more or less revealed to the king. But he did not, so of course you don't know."

Yu Tingwan looked into his eyes and said, "His wife was acquainted with Xie Yun and came to ask for century-old ginseng for her young son. However, Xie Yun's mother-in-law needed ginseng to treat her illness, so she went to Xie Xuan and went to Pingyang Marquis Mansion. I The next day I saw my sister-in-law's eyes turning blue, and that's when I found out someone came to my door late at night."

Pei Zhi watched the woman beside him speak quietly, with a calm expression. After she finished speaking, he suddenly called Shi Shi in.

"Why did you summon the historian?" Yu Tingwan's eyes widened.

"Of course, let them write down what happened just now, so as to give you a good reputation as a remonstrator." Pei Zhi laughed, "Also let Tingwei Zuojian know that the queen said good things about him in front of the emperor to clear his name. .”

Pei Zhi stood in front of Yu Tingwan, put his arms around her waist, and frowned, "Why have you lost weight?"

Today is the Queen's Standing Ceremony, but the dress that just happened to fit her was a little too big at the waist.

"Maybe it's been a hot day recently and I can't eat much, so I've lost some weight." After Yu Tingwan explained, he slightly looked up at the man in front of him, "Does your Majesty think I'm not as good as before?"

Pei Zhi's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, and he quickly said: "Why do you think so? I'm afraid that you are not feeling well."

He was in a hurry to explain and forgot to ask questions for a moment. It was not until the ceremony began that he looked down at the woman wearing a phoenix crown and noticed that her face was getting paler.

Standing on the right side of Pei Zhi is Zong Zheng, facing west and reading the book.

Zongzheng was all held by the royal family. Pei Jing was granted the title of Queen of Jiangdu and stayed in Chang'an. At this moment, he was afraid that his brother would think he was unstable, so he read every word slowly and clearly.

Pei Zhi stared at Yu Tingwan, his brows getting tighter and tighter. When the officials paid their respects, he leaned over and held her hand tightly, moved his lips slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Wanwan, I need you." Call me a doctor?"

He noticed his palm being hooked, and the woman in front of him shook her head slightly.

Yu Tingwan stood in front of the palace, lowered her head and saw her brother, kneeling down with the other ministers to salute.
