Pei Zhi suddenly let go and looked at the man lying on the ground, as if looking at a puddle of mud.

"You are wrong." Pei Zhi suddenly remembered that Yu Tingwan's words in the letter sent by Dragon Slayer Guard were meaningless. He said in a cold tone: "There is nothing I can't get."

Yuan Ziyu no longer called Lord Pei, but said with great indifference: "There are always some things that His Highness cannot exchange for with his power."

Pei Zhi has been too smooth since he was a child. He wants everything. How can such a good thing happen? He wants Yu Tingwan's sincerity but refuses to condescend to say soft words first. He wants to rob the concubine and wants a good reputation to prepare for the throne. Prepare.

After hearing what Yuan Ziyu said, he sneered, and when he turned to leave, he asked Yuan Qi outside the door: "Who is entering the palace with Yuan Ziyu today?"

Yuan Qi was standing aside in silence. Now he looked at the servants beside Yuan Ziyu. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "If you offend the King of Wei, drag him down and kill him with a stick."

Pei Zhi paused and glanced at Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi realized that he had said the wrong thing and changed his words, "These servants failed to persuade Ziyu, but instead encouraged him to get into trouble. According to the Yuan clan rules, they should be killed with a cane."

Pei Zhi nodded slightly and said in a moderate voice: "I have accepted Ziyu's resignation."

After he got on the carriage, he opened the curtain and saw Yuan Qi standing respectfully to see him off. He sighed: "As the eldest brother, I have to worry more and restrain my younger brothers and sisters."

Yuan Qi quickly saluted, knowing that Yuan Ziyu had saved his life, his eyes flashed with color, "Thank you Lord for your kindness."

Watching the carriage go away, Yuan Qi ordered the servants beside him: "During this period, the Third Young Master will never be allowed to leave the Yuan Mansion."

Dozens of domestic servants surrounded Yuan Ziyu's yard into an iron barrel. Such a big movement finally attracted Mrs. Yuan.

"Who hurt my son like this?" Mrs. Yuan looked around, finally stared at Yuan Qi, and said angrily: "As an elder brother, this is how you treat your brothers? Where did you read those sage books? "

Yuan Ziyu said vaguely: "Mother, don't blame brother, he is doing it for my own good."

Mrs. Yuan shed tears. Yuan Qi had a bad relationship with her, but she always took good care of her brothers and sisters in the family. There must be something hidden in what she did today, but neither of them would tell them.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "You entered the palace today and went to see the imperial concubine again, right?"

"Every time you see her, you feel like you are suffering from hysteria." Mrs. Yuan regretted a little. She had known this, and she had promised her son back then to pick up Yu Tingwan and bring her into the house. She was an orphan and she was not allowed to control her. , and can’t make any waves.

Yuan Ziyu did not speak, and remained silent for more than ten days in a row. He allowed the visitors to sigh beside his bed, and allowed widespread rumors in Chang'an that he had offended the King of Wei and was deposed.

After Yuan Qi went to court, he came to see how his injuries were as usual, and casually mentioned: "It's the emperor's birthday in a few days, I'm afraid you won't be able to go."

The Pei family would take advantage of the emperor's birthday every year to send governors from various states to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. The courtiers, nobles' children and concubines were all present.

Yuan Ziyu also wanted to go. When he glanced at Yu Tingwan from a distance, Yuan Qi seemed to be aware of his thoughts and said calmly: "Just take good care of yourself. The imperial concubine is ill and won't go."

"She's not in good health?" Yuan Ziyu quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"How do I know? Maybe it's the heat."

"Brother, can you help me bring the jade pillow given by the late emperor to the palace? I don't need to see the imperial concubine. I can just ask Empress Dowager De to hand it over."

The late emperor once gave the Yuan family a jade pillow, which was cool to the touch and could be used to relieve the heat in summer. Yuan Ziyu was afraid of heat when he was young, so the family gave him this pillow.

Yuan Qi looked complicated and refused flatly. He did not tell his brother that King Wei had visited the palace on the fifth day, and the door of Yilan Palace was closed that night on the grounds that the imperial concubine was ill.

No one knows what King Wei and Yu Tingwan said.

Five days ago, Yilan Hall.

It was dark at night, and an uninvited guest came to the door. Pei Zhi entered the palace alone, as if he was in a deserted place.

He didn't let anyone pass, but no one outside stopped him.

It was Gaoyue who noticed that the footsteps of the palace people outside suddenly stopped, and went out to take a look. When she saw Pei Zhi, her eyes suddenly widened.

"His Royal Highness King Wei?"

"Yeah." Pei Zhi responded subconsciously and fell into silence.

When he saw the bright moon, he came back to his senses and realized what he was doing. He broke into the concubine's chamber at night and was simply fascinated.

Pei Zhi felt that something seemed to be out of control, and a sense of panic arose in his heart that he had not seen for a long time.

"I... came today because I have something I want to explain to you."

"What are you saying to bother King Wei with a late-night visit?" Yu Tingwan came out of the outer hall, her tone was unkind, and her eyes were vaguely wary.

"Of course it's what Third Young Master Yuan said in Yilan Hall a few days ago."

Yu Tingwan's face turned blue and he took a step forward, "His Highness indeed has not evacuated the spies from Yilan Palace."

Pei Zhi smiled, as if Yu Tingwan's question was very childish, "Mother, I did remove the spies. What Yuan Ziyu said, he told me personally."

The palace servant who came forward to serve tea was Dragon Slayer Guard. She quietly retreated, not daring to look at King Wei.

"What Yuan Ziyu said that day was nothing more than his own speculation." Pei Zhi's voice was cold, "I'm afraid that my queen will think too much, so..."

"Then Yuan Ziyu is really brave. He dared to spread rumors about His Highness." Yu Tingwan interrupted him and nodded: "I understand. Since Your Highness has explained it, I should leave earlier."

What she is wearing today is a very ordinary Begonia tangzhi Liuxian skirt. Judging from the fabric, she must have brought it from Qingzhou.

"Your Majesty, since you have entered the palace, you should put on the clothes provided by the palace." Pei Zhi stared at the begonia patterns and felt that they were particularly eye-catching. "This kind of material will inevitably lose the royal dignity."

"His Royal Highness has so many things to do, but he is still in charge of the concubine's clothes." Yu Tingwan thought of the lotus pattern dresses that he had put away, "I don't need to be told by foreign ministers about what I wear."

"Moreover, your Majesty never said anything when I wore this Liuxian skirt before. He is my legitimate husband." Yu Tingwan's voice was trembling, "What is your identity, and what qualifications do you have to control me?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Zhi's face suddenly became ugly. He stood up and looked down at her with cold eyes, as if peeling off the skin that usually abides by the court etiquette.

Seeing that Yu Tingwan subconsciously wanted to leave, he stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, but with a little force, Yu Tingwan fell down on the chair.

"Your legitimate husband?" The nameless fire in Pei Zhi's heart grew stronger and stronger, and he read these words slowly, "He is a useless person."

"Yu Tingwan, you know," he leaned over and picked up a strand of black hair on Yu Tingwan's cheek, showing a mocking smile, "if you didn't have Gu's protection, you and those concubines in the South Tower who let the prince play with you, No different."
