Yu Tingwan didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control it and turned her face away from him.

"That's all, having sex with you is probably not interesting." Pei Zhi was flustered by her tears and was afraid that she would see it, so he got down and put on his coat and left in a hurry.

The maids waiting outside were all stunned on the spot, looking at King Wei's unhappy expression and not daring to express their anger.

They had somewhat heard the argument just now, and they felt that this unknown lady was really bold.

The next day, Pei Zhi's eyes were slightly green when he went to court in the morning. Chen Du finally made it to the next court and advised: "My lord, although the battle on the front line is serious, you must pay attention to your health."

Pei Zhi used to dislike Chen Du for talking too much, but today he rarely said anything.

He didn't sleep all night last night. When he closed his eyes, he kept thinking of Yu Tingwan's tears. Before going to court, he ordered his servants to release Qiutao and Jiaoyue and send them to Guanjuyuan.

When Chen Du saw him nodding, he felt strange that his master seemed to be in a bad mood today, but he was more talkative than usual.

Until he walked into King Wei's study and saw the important ministers there, Chen Du was still thinking about it. In the past few days, something seemed to be wrong with his lord, and he even forgot to go to court. Could it be that there was something wrong with his body, and he was afraid of affecting the morale of the frontline troops? Just leave it alone.

"See for yourselves." Pei Zhi handed Zhang Yushu's memorial to them.

After reading ten lines at a glance, Chen Du's eyesight went dark. The people sent to negotiate with Beihu figured out why Zhao Qing didn't want to come back.

Chanyu knew that King Wei was fighting in Huai River, and threatened her that if she left, he would restart the war with Zhou Dynasty.

After reading it, Yuan Qi said in a deep voice: "My lord, with the current strength of troops and food, we can sustain a war."

"But if the stalemate continues on the Huai River side..." Ting Wei hesitated.

"Zhang Yushu and Zheng Dan have been practicing farming in Liangzhou these years, and there is no need to transport grain from Chang'an." Pei Zhi glanced at Tingwei, "What I want to hear is who do you think should be sent as deputy general and supervisor."

The people below fell silent. After thinking for a moment, they all spoke up to make recommendations.

After hearing what Yuan Qi said, Pei Zhi nodded and said, "I think Zhang Ji is suitable. However, since he is the son-in-law of the Zheng family, it is not appropriate for the supervisor to choose from the Zheng family. I think you are the most suitable."

Yuan Qi was not surprised. He bowed and thanked him: "I am happy to go."

Three hours had passed. At noon, Pei Zhi ordered his servants to bring some food to reward his subordinates, and then continued to discuss the use of troops.

The King of Wei treated his subordinates leniently, and even if he was dissatisfied, he rarely lost his temper and got angry in person. Therefore, when Pei Zhi's expression changed, everyone fell silent, wondering what had happened.

Pei Zhi regained his composure and said to the servant who had just come in to report the news: "Be careful, don't let her come to the front yard."

"I still have some family matters to attend to, so let's break up today."

When Pei Zhi left in a hurry, Chen Du grabbed Yuan Qi and asked, "When will my lord have any family matters?"

Yuan Qi glanced at his crimson cuffs that were being pulled, and said with a serious smile: "I advise you not to delve into it further."

Beside the Guan Ju Courtyard, Pei Shu looked shocked and said to Dragon Slayer Guard: "Is there any place in the backyard of Prince Wei's Mansion that I can't enter? Do you dare to stop me?"

"My lord has an order, no one can come in or out."

"Am I some idler?" Pei Shu pointed to her nose and laughed, "I just saw a figure in the courtyard. She looks a bit like a noble concubine, but she is just a substitute. It's worth your time." The land is surrounded by an iron barrel?"

The Dragon-Slaying Guards lowered their heads and stopped talking. Pei Shu thought they were speechless and was about to go in, but realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She turned around and saw Pei Zhi standing behind him, his face as cold as ice.

"Pei Shu, have you recovered from your illness?" Pei Zhi lowered his head and glanced at her limping right leg, "I will send someone to take you back when you are recovered."

On the way back to Youzhou, she jumped out of a car and broke a leg. She said she wanted to crawl back to Chang'an City. Pei Jing was so frightened that he sent her back, and Pei Zhi promised her to recuperate in Beijing.

"No." Pei Shu's momentum suddenly weakened, "I want to go back to Guanjuyuan today to get something. When I was a child, I hid a box under the osmanthus tree."

Pei Zhi ordered the Dragon-Slaying Guard beside him: "Bring the box to her."

"No, no, I have to dig it myself." Pei Shu faced her elder brother's gaze and said bravely: "I know you like the imperial concubine, but the deceased has passed away, so don't forget her too much."

"It's not shameful for you to find someone who looks like her and put it in the yard as a memorial. What if you and I, brother and sister, ask me to go in and see it?"

"You don't have to worry about him if he dies. In this case, I don't think there is any need to keep Zhao Heng alive."

Pei Zhi didn't look like he was joking. Pei Shu hurriedly said, "I won't go in. Brother, just think that what I just said is nonsense."

"Send the princess back." Pei Zhi said in a cold voice: "The princess needs to rest and recuperate from her illness. She cannot leave the house this month."

After finally sending Pei Shu away, he stepped into Guanju Courtyard and saw Yu Tingwan sitting in the courtyard with her back to him, talking to two maids.

Pei Zhi walked up behind her and brushed a few tiny osmanthus flowers off her shoulders. The moment Yu Tingwan turned around, the smile on his face was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He glanced at Qiu Tao and Jiao Yue, and they stepped aside with a look.

There was a hint of expectation in Pei Zhi's voice, and he said softly: "Gu sent them back to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Tingwan's voice was perfunctory, and she was afraid of upsetting him and causing Qiutao and Jiaoyue to be punished, so she added: "I am happy to see them, thank you very much."

Pei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that her eye circles were a little red and swollen, he sighed and said, "Since you are happy in your heart, don't cry anymore, okay?"

Yu Tingwan remained silent, recalling the almost violent look in his eyes last night, which was completely different from his current appearance, and felt ridiculous, how could such a person exist in the world.

"Your Highness, do your subordinates know that I am here?"

"A few people know, don't worry, they won't say much." Seeing that she was willing to talk to him properly, Pei Zhi's expression became gentler.

"Do those veterans of the Pei family know that with the temperament of General Zhang and General Fu, they are afraid that they will think that I am a troublemaker and want to get rid of it quickly." Yu Tingwan rarely took the initiative to get closer to Pei Zhi, leaned on his shoulder and said, "Wei The king seems to pity me so much, will he take my head on my neck to protect his reputation when the time comes?"

"That's what you were worried about, Gu is not that useless."

The warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms probably made him dizzy, and he didn't realize what Yu Tingwan meant.

"Besides, Zhang Yushu won't hate you." Pei Zhi reached out and touched her hair, and said warmly: "It's annoying not to mention these things."

He lowered his head and kissed the corners of her eyes gently. He noticed that she wanted to get up and said with some displeasure, "You didn't do anything else, why are you hiding."

Yu Tingwan couldn't talk about what happened last night, which made her think that Pei Zhi would be here to show off his prostitution in the daytime. She finally explained: "I want to ask, is the princess still outside?"
