Chen Xing was waiting outside the military tent where the meeting was taking place. When Pei Zhi heard that she was coming, his heart tightened. Could it be that something had happened to Yu Tingwan?

"Lord." Chen Xing was silent for a long time. She really didn't dare to lie in front of Pei Zhi. She took a deep breath and said vaguely: "I'm here to deliver the ginger soup cooked by the cook."

Pei Zhi's frown suddenly relaxed, he took the ginger soup and ordered Shen Xing to go back, and poured himself a glass under the gaze of all his subordinates.

His expression was leisurely and soothing, and he put a few fingers of his left hand on the armrest of the chair, tapping it occasionally. He glanced at Xu Xian and motioned for him to continue talking.

Xu Xian was stuck instead. King Wei was still vaguely unhappy just now, but now his face was cold, but his eyes seemed to be smiling.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the pot of ginger soup with his peripheral vision.

Drinking was not allowed in the army, and ginger soup was often made to ward off the cold. In the past, everyone had a share, but Xu Xian was confused, why didn't they do it today?

Yuan Qi lowered his eyes to hide his surprise.

Pei Zhi could drink even the most astringent tea with grace and grace, but he drank the ginger soup with an expressionless expression every time.

Why did I finish tasting it slowly today?

Yuan Qi suddenly understood who sent the ginger soup, and once again felt that Yuan Ziyu was extremely lucky to be able to save his life at the hands of King Wei.

It was not until late at night that Pei Zhi returned to the king's tent under the moonlight. When he saw Yu Tingwan's back turned to him, he couldn't help coughing twice.

"Did you catch a cold today?"

Hearing this, Pei Zhi coughed twice more and said in a weak voice: "It doesn't matter, you'll be fine after a few days."

Before going to bed, he still planned to sleep on the floor. Yu Tingwan hesitated for a moment and said, "Come to the couch."

"Seriously?" His voice was a little hoarse.

Seeing that his expression was sluggish, completely different from the one who was joking yesterday, Yu Tingwan nodded with relief: "Of course."

The man who was covering his lips while coughing suddenly raised his eyes, looking sick at all, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yu Tingwan realized that every time Pei Zhi tried to trick her, he would always smile like this after he succeeded.

After he got on the bed, he held her in his arms, chuckled and said, "I was really sick because I drank the ginger soup you gave me."

Yu Tingwan laughed, "Haha", "You are so open-minded and insisting that you are sick when you are not sick. Be careful when you are really sick."

Noticing his palm caressing her cheek, Yu Tingwan quickly pushed him.

"I said I won't tease you." He tightened the waist of the woman in his arms, "Didn't you play blind chess with Chen Xing last time? How about playing a game with me?"

Yu Tingwan's eyes lit up. Facing the chessboard, she was not as good as Pei Zhi. She didn't know if she could win back the victory by playing blind chess.

Half an hour later, her silence became longer and longer.

Pei Zhi was not in a hurry and looked at her quietly.

Yu Tingwan felt that it was becoming more and more difficult, and Pei Zhi suddenly fell down.

"Are you sure you want to go down here?"

She raised her eyes and met the eyes of the man beside her, and found that he was staring at her, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What? Isn't it good here?" Pei Zhi suddenly laughed, "How about I change it?"

"No, how can you regret it?"

Yu Tingwan closed her eyes, fearing that he would notice her happiness, and then she felt a lot smoother.

She was lying on the bed, the night was getting darker, she couldn't help but feel sleepy, and her mind was getting blurry.

When the dust finally settled, she half-closed her eyes and said vaguely: "Did I win?"

Pei Zhi felt like there was a scorching midsummer sun in his heart, and the blazing heat softened everything.

He couldn't help but move closer and kissed the lips of the woman in his arms, as cautiously as a dragonfly.

If the gurgling water soothed the myriad emotions in his heart, he murmured in a low voice as the delicate and loving kisses continued to fall. I wonder if Yu Tingwan heard him.

"Yes, you won."

Before Pei Zhi returned to Chang'an, he had a detailed talk with Yu Xiuyun.

"I wonder what the King of Wei wants from me?"

Yu Xiuyun's face was still pale. Mr. Pei had always been good to courtiers who knew the current affairs and surrendered, and would even grant him titles.

But when he thought of his sister in the military camp, he couldn't sleep at night.

"Master Yu, with your talents, if you are willing to be loyal to Gu, why worry about not having your place among the three masters in the future?"

Yu Xiuyun closed his eyes and didn't want to speak.

"King Wei, if you are willing to return my sister to me, maybe we can have a peaceful talk."

Pei Zhi's expression froze and he kept telling himself that he could not kill Yu Xiuyun no matter how ignorant he was.

"Wan Wan is already the Princess of Wei. What's the point of talking about it? Is it possible that Mr. Yu wants her to never marry?" Pei Zhi looked coldly. "If she marries an orphan, she will be the future queen."

"How did you know Wanwan wanted to be the queen?" Yu Xiuyun knew Yu Tingwan well, and she probably had no interest in being a queen.

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment, "Master Yu, apart from Gu, the only person she can rely on now is you."

Yu Xiuyun finally looked slightly moved and silently clenched his hands in his sleeves.

"You also know in your heart that at this time, it is meaningless to talk to Gu about her not wanting to be the queen." Pei Zhi chuckled, "Or do you still have the ability to send her away again now?"

"If it weren't for Wanwan's deep love for your brother and sister, and if it weren't for the fact that the queen needs a strong maternal family, do you think I would waste so much time talking to you?"

"The queen needs a strong mother's family?" Yu Xiuyun showed a sarcastic smile, "Emperors throughout the ages were afraid of the dominance of their relatives."

"Afraid?" Pei Zhi's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Gu promised that she would be the only one in this life. If my mother's family is not strong enough..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xiuyun's expression changed several times.

It’s unbelievable. There is only one person in the harem?

If what Pei Zhi said is true, then Yu Tingwan really needs an elder brother with a high enough official position.

Although Pei Zhi can protect her and stop rumors, things are fickle, and those of them who have been on the battlefield understand this better.

Yesterday he was high-spirited, today he is nothing but bones. Yu Xiuyun knew what Pei Zhi wanted to say. If King Wei died early after becoming emperor, leaving orphans and widows, the newly established dynasty would probably die for the second generation.

Pei Zhi saw Yu Xiuyun's expression relaxed and asked, "Have you still thought about it?"

"Let me think about it again." Yu Xiuyun's heart trembled.

There is no truth in King Wei's mouth. What if he breaks his promise after he ascends the throne? There will be three palaces and six courtyards.

Yu Xiuyun's breathing was rapid. If this was the case, Yu Tingwan needed a good brother even more.

Pei Zhi waited for more than half an hour and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"What King Wei said," Yu Xiuyun paused and slowly lowered his head, "I think it makes sense."

The wind was blowing outside, and Pei Zhi stood up, not forgetting to remind him: "I have never forced you. If I ask about it later, you know what to say."

Yu Xiuyun felt a little cold, and folded his sleeves. The look in his eyes was dark and unclear. He sighed and said, "Of course I understand."

As soon as he returned to Chang'an, the decree to make Pingyang Marquis was sent to Yu Xiuyun.

Although he has been granted the title of Marquis, the Yu Mansion is still neglected. The dignitaries in Chang'an all think that this is an act of mercy by the King of Wei, and will not accept his post.

Yu Tingwan had no idea what was going on in Chang'an. She just wanted to invite Que Wen's master to the Prince of Wei's Mansion to see what kind of madness Pei Zhi was having.
