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

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei!" Yu Tingwan pinched her palms and looked at Ah Xun, "The Marquis of Jiangling has a title and is the son of the Prince of Liang. How can he use lynching?"

Pei Zhi sneered, pinched Yu Tingwan's chin, and forced her to face him.

"My dear concubine, you must have a pleading attitude when begging for mercy."

When Yu Tingwan saw that Pei Zhi was willing to talk to him, he calmed down and softened his voice and said: "Your Highness, what happened today is my fault alone. Can you please let go of Jiao Yue and Qiu Tao? As for the Marquis of Jiangling,... "

Pei Zhi interrupted her, "You want to say that the fires in Chang'an today were caused by you alone, and you also arranged those dead soldiers. The Marquis of Jiangling is clean and innocent, and you forced them to elope together. Is that true? What?"

His heart felt like it was filled with ice and snow, and it ached from the cold. The tip of his sword pointed at Yu Tingwan's neck, and said angrily: "Yu Tingwan, do you think Gu Zhen will not kill you!"

Ah Xun broke free from the red shadow that was holding him tightly and rushed to Pei Zhi's side. Before the dagger was even taken out of its sheath, his right arm was chopped off with a sword.

"I don't know whether to live or die." Pei Zhi uttered a mocking sentence, "It's really surprising that the imperial concubine would leave Chang'an just for this kind of person."

"Pei Zhi, I forced the imperial concubine to leave together." Ah Xun's forehead was sweating. "It has nothing to do with the imperial concubine."

"Your Majesty, if what he said is true, Gu can spare Qiutao and Jiaoyue and keep you alive." Pei Zhi handed her the sword in his hand, "You only need to kill him with your own hands."

King Wei's sword was too heavy, and it was difficult for Yu Tingwan to lift it. Besides, her hands were shaking all the time, and the tip of the sword dragged on the ground, leaving a mark.

"My concubine, think about it before making a decision." Pei Zhi's voice came from behind, "If you don't kill him, the two maids around you will die."

Ah Xun tried his best and without hesitation grabbed the sword of King Wei with his remaining hand. The tip of the sword passed through his heart. Before he died, he moved his lips and said with great effort: "Girl, survive."

As long as she survives, Yu Xiuyun will definitely come to pick her up.

It was the first time he saw a living person die in front of him, and it was in such a tragic way. Yu Tingwan's mind went blank. He was dull for a moment, then turned to Pei Zhi and said, "Is this all right?"

Pei Zhi stared into her eyes, raised his hand to wipe away her tears, nodded and said, "Okay."

The bright moon was in the sky, and there was silence all around. No one dared to speak. A young man in purple looked at Yu Tingwan who was lying on the ground, and stretched out his hand as if he had first seen him.

The only difference was that his indifferent eyes were stained with a more intense emotion, which was hard to explain.

"I'll take you back with me." Pei Zhi's voice was calm, "You don't want to move because I want to hug you."

Yu Tingwan's eyes moved, her eyelashes trembled slightly, a tear rolled down, and she choked, "Let Qiutao and Jiaoyue go."

"Gu just said to spare them, but what happens next depends on your performance." Pei Zhi said with a hint of impatience in his tone, "What can the noble concubine do to negotiate terms with Gu?"

She paused, stretched out a hand, and when it touched Pei Zhi's palm, she suddenly retracted it as if it was burned.

"Your Highness, can you wait for me for half an hour?"

Yu Tingwan tried her best to walk to Ah Xun's body. This was a small path where no one usually came and went. It had just rained a few days ago, and the soil was soft and cool. She knelt on the ground, and there seemed to be sounds in her ears that came and went. My heart was at a loss.

She always felt that this young man should be very popular with her brother, otherwise how could he develop a lively character from a killer, otherwise how could he teach him music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I will not kill Boren, Boren will die because of me.

This man was like a goose flying north, bringing her the news about her brother. She felt that Ah Xun should not have exposed his body in the wilderness like this.

Pei Zhi stood aside quietly, watching Yu Tingwan dig a shallow hole beside the road as if he was possessed by a man. The hands that were used to play the piano and write were weak and slender. They were now covered with mud, and the fingertips were soaked with blood. Dripping blood.

The king of Wei was going smoothly, and he was a proud man. He had never been so jealous of someone. He shouldn't care about a dead person, but at this moment, he wanted to crush the corpse in front of him and scatter it into ashes.

"Half an hour is up." Pei Zhi said coldly.

The sky was already slightly bright, and Yu Tingwan felt sad in her heart. She subconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes and asked, "Can you wait a little longer?"

Pei Zhi lowered his head and glanced at his clothes stained by the soil, and said indifferently: "I have been very tolerant of you. The Marquis of Jiangling is a traitor, and his corpse is still useful."

In just a moment, Yu Tingwan understood what he meant. Since ancient times, a fire in a palace was a bad omen, let alone the Zichen Palace. It was inevitable that someone would make a fuss.

The King of Liang may tell the world that the King of Wei intends to kill the king by setting fire, and then goes north to King Qin. The Huai River War is stalemate. How could Pei Zhi allow this to happen? He wants to hang Ah Xun's body in front of the battle to calm the morale of the army. .

"You..." Yu Tingwan breathed rapidly, "He is not the Marquis of Jiangling."

"Gu knows that he is not, it is enough for the world to think that he is." Pei Zhi leaned over, gently caressed her cheek, and sighed: "Are you some kind of savage beast? Why are you shaking all the time."

Yu Tingwan stood up, her skirt covered with dust. She glanced at Pei Zhi, who wanted to help her, and said coldly, "No need."

"Does King Wei want to send me to the prison room, or to see the Tingwei?"

"You are worrying too much. The imperial concubine was killed by the Marquis of Jiangling and died in the palace fire." Pei Zhi said with a smile on his lips, "Don't you always want to go to the palace? It can be considered that you got what you wanted."

"Let's go back to Prince Wei's Mansion with Gu." Pei Zhi glanced at Qiu Tao and whispered to Yu Tingwan: "Gu doesn't have the patience to wait any longer, unless you want her to lose an arm."

In the distance, there was a man wearing black armor, riding a dark cloud on the snow. He dismounted not far from Pei Zhi, cupped his hands and said, "Elder brother, all the craftsmen in Chang'an City will be executed, and those who take advantage of the chaos and spread rumors will also be imprisoned."

This young man's features are somewhat similar to Pei Zhi's. He is Pei Jing, the governor of Youzhou and the Marquis of Boping. He was supposed to go back to Youzhou with Pei Shu the day before yesterday, but Pei Shu refused to go back, so he was delayed. Unexpectedly, last night Something happened in Chang'an.

"Brother, this is..." Pei Jing glanced at Yu Tingwan curiously.

Pei Zhi pulled Yu Tingwan behind him and said lightly, "The Marquis of Jiangling intends to kill the king. Please stay in Chang'an for a few days."

Until he entered Prince Wei's Mansion, Yu Tingwan was still pale and looked as if he was going to faint in the next second.

"Call the imperial doctor." Pei Zhi ordered the servants who came to greet him.

When those servants saw Yu Tingwan wearing her hair in a woman's bun and looking beautiful, they were not sure what to call her. They hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, may I ask where I should arrange for my wife to live?"

"I have no wives and concubines. Where can I find a wife?" Pei Zhi looked indifferent and said, "I arranged to go to Wangchuntai."

Several old servants of the Wei Palace were stunned for a moment when they heard this. Wangchuntai was built by the former Wei king in memory of Princess Chengyang after her death. It is so tall that you can see the Chunshan Palace in the palace.

The servant's eyes changed when he looked at Yu Tingwan, and he said softly: "Girl, follow me."
