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

It's early summer now, and there are enough ice cubes in the Jiaofang Hall, making the hall feel cool.

"Empress, someone is coming from Xuanshi Hall." Ruyi opened the bead curtain, walked into the inner hall, and said softly: "Your Majesty said that since the weather is getting hotter, it is better to move to Qingliang Hall."

Qingliang Hall and Greenhouse Hall are both very close to Xuanshi Hall.

"No need, it's not midsummer yet."

At Haishi, Pei Zhi finished approving the documents and headed to Jiaofang Hall. On the way, he remembered what Pingyang Marquis said during the day. It was obvious that there was a cool breeze at night, but his palms were covered with sweat.

After entering the inner hall, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached the bed. He put his fingers on her wrist first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that her pulse was still beating.

He thought that Yu Tingwan would take the medicine tonight.

He looked around the hall by the light of a lamp and candle, but could not see the shadow of the medicine.

Because it was summer, the person on the couch went to bed wearing only gauze clothes. In the middle of the night, as before, his arms were slowly wrapped around him.

Pei Zhi went to court early on weekdays, and even when Xiu Mu woke up at any time, he went to the Xuanshi Palace to avoid her. Yu Tingwan never understood his sleeping habits.

However, as soon as I opened my eyes today, I found myself pressed against someone.

She opened her eyes wide and forgot to put down her arms. She stared at Pei Zhi blankly, "You didn't leave today?"

The man with a calm face said "hmm" and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?" He didn't look tired after waking up.

Yu Tingwan felt strange, let go of his arm and said, "No."

"Really?" Pei Zhi's eyes were a bit probing, and he teased her without changing his expression: "You were talking in your sleep last night."

Yu Tingwan had just received her brother's medicine yesterday, and she felt nervous. She must have missed something in her dream. She murmured softly and asked, "What did I say?"

Seeing that she was a little nervous, Pei Zhi paused for a moment, raised a slight smile on his lips, and said comfortingly: "I didn't hear you clearly, so I asked you because I was afraid you had a nightmare."

After he finished speaking, he stared closely at the person in his arms, seeing that she had no intention of speaking. Just as he stood up to leave, a pair of lotus arms wrapped around his waist from behind, and the fragrance suddenly became fragrant on the tip of his nose.

He froze. The person behind him had only a layer of gauze in his pajamas. Because of his tight embrace, his chest was pressing against him, making him feel clearly.

However, she was unaware of it and paused for a long time before hesitatingly asked: "Am I always like this every day and night?"

Pei Zhi lowered his eyelashes, looked at her hand, squeezed it, nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing the arms slowly loosening, he turned around, hugged her into his arms, lowered his eyes to carefully examine her expression, and then helped her make up for it: "Wanwan may be scared at night."

As soon as she finished speaking, the rest was stuck in her throat, and she reached out to wipe away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes.

"It's not because of this." Yu Tingwan looked at him, "Because my heart——"

Pei Zhi guessed what she was going to say, so he covered her lips and his expression changed slightly.

It was clearly what he wanted to hear, but at this moment he didn't want her to say it at all. Yu Tingwan said it now, as if he was fulfilling his wish for the last time before leaving.

On the way to Jiaofang Palace last night, Pei Zhi began to regret it.

When he faced Yu Tingwan, he was not as free and generous as he imagined. In front of Marquis Pingyang, he said lightly that he could wait for five or ten years.

In fact, the thought of her not being around for even one day was unbearable.

The whole night, he was thinking that if Yu Tingwan could stay with him calmly, it would be okay even if he didn't like him.

Is it possible that every couple in the world has lovers, and most of them just make do with each other, but they still grow old together.

"I know what you mean." Pei Zhi reached out and touched the hair of the person in his arms. He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about it. "If liking me makes you feel uncomfortable, you can choose to hate me."

He said in a calm tone: "The late king did kill his eldest brother. I lied to you, but it was Pei Ke who said that I forced him to kill his wife and children. Wanwan, I have always been like this and have never changed. You fell in love with the wrong person. .”

"It's not too late for you to see this clearly now and hate me again."

Pei Zhi looked at the lips of the person in his arms quietly, and waited for a long time before she could speak. When he realized something, his expression changed slightly and his breathing became rapid.

He stretched out his hand and pulled off the curtain, pressed the woman who was leaning in his arms under him, buried it in the crook of her neck, turned his face to the side, put his warm lips on her cheek, rubbed it lightly a few times, and fell asleep. The clothes instantly shattered in his palm.

The palace attendants in the Jiaofang Hall watched the breakfast slowly getting cold in the outer hall. When lunch was about to begin, they saw His Majesty carrying someone to the soup pool.

Dachangqiu was chosen by Pei Zheng. At this moment, he was muttering in his heart. In the past, when His Majesty held the Queen to take a bath, the corners of his mouth would always turn up. Why can't he show happiness and anger today.

Yu Tingwan lowered her head and leaned against the pool wall. She noticed that his arms were supporting her waist. Her eyes, which had been closed due to fatigue, suddenly opened. In the mist of water, she saw that the man in front of her didn't look good.

Her throat hurt, so she didn't speak and leaned against him.

After His Majesty left, the palace attendants in Jiaofang Palace thought that Pei Zhi would come again late at night, but they did not expect to see the imperial chariot from a distance at Xu Shi.

Yu Tingwan didn't think it was strange at all. Pei Zhi said he would wait until she fell asleep, but he didn't accept what he said often.

Until the middle of the night, she was lying on the couch, unable to speak. She put her fingers on the man's shoulders, suspecting that her nails were about to pinch him and bleed.

The person pressing on her had thin calloused palms and was squeezing her chest and slender waist with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her, or simply rub her into his body.

It had been like this for more than ten days in a row, and there was no need to use the soothing incense. She didn't know when she fell asleep every night. Pei Zhi held her tightly and tossed her over and over again, as if she had no idea tonight.

When she wakes up the next day, it's often already time.

Yu Tingwan felt weak all over and the sun was shining brightly at noon, so she stayed alone in the inner hall to pass the time.

The captains of the Thirteen Prefectures sent letters back to Chang'an one after another. After all, the five noble families had existed for hundreds of years. They knew how to swing around and take advantage of loopholes. They were very smooth in doing things in private, and the charges they found were trivial.

It is simply not enough to convict a serious crime and punish him severely to deter the world.

If Pei Zhi were serious, I am afraid that the Chen family and the Yuan family would also have made these small mistakes.

While he was frowning, a captain in military uniform suddenly asked to see him and presented him with the first secret letter from Linzi, which was sealed with special fire paint.

There were only a few words, so Pei Zhi read it twice and burned the letter to ashes without any surprise.

His second brother, King Pei Su of Linzi, sent him a big gift.

A few days after Pei Su just became a vassal, Lieutenant Zhenyi noticed that several retainers of Linzi Palace had contacts with several members of the Pei family.

This book is nothing, they are all family members, not to mention correspondence, even a real visit would be fine.

Pei Zhi's grandfather had more than a dozen concubines. The Pei family had a flourishing family, so it was inevitable that there would be a few restless ones, but they just didn't dare to cause trouble in the past.

Now that they heard that a storm was coming in Chang'an, these people got in touch with King Linzi. The other clan members knew that His Majesty did not want to see King Linzi and wished to stay away. They didn't know what these people wanted to do.

Pei Zhi laughed in his heart, as the letter he had just burned contained a sentence: "Xu Yanzi, a member of King Linzi's family, was a slave of Cui family in the past."
