He lowered his head and took off Yu Tingwan's bracelet, held her wrist and said, "I'm just afraid that you will leave as soon as I close my eyes."

"So you just chain me up." Yu Tingwan said in a bad tone.

"Yes, but only at night." Pei Zhi's face turned ugly, "You left both times at night."

"My brother is already in Chang'an, how could I leave." Yu Tingwan felt ridiculous, where else could she go now.

"You said something like this before." He looked straight into her eyes, "You said that you would never leave me once you have committed yourself to me."

Pei Zhi's breathing became faster. When he saw the empty wedding room that day, he suddenly had the clear thought of "she will leave after all."

From the days when Dragon Slaying Guards started searching for traces to the day when Thousand Faces was discovered, he slept in Guan Ju Yuan every night. He remembered clearly how the furnishings were on the wedding night, down to how many inches the wedding candles were lit.

He opened his eyes all night, and when he closed them, he remembered the disgusting looks of the men at the palace banquet peeking at her. He guessed that Yu Xiuyun was Shen Jiyuan. Apart from careful speculation, or perhaps because of his inner vague expectations, he was afraid that Yu Xiuyun would give away his sister. To Shen Jiyuan.

Yu Tingwan noticed his emotional ups and downs and remained silent for a moment before saying, "You said that as long as I return to Chang'an, I will pretend that nothing happened."

She clearly knew this was impossible, but she used what Pei Zhi said to block him.

Sure enough, Pei Zhi was speechless, raised his hand to touch her cheek, and finally sighed: "That's all, your brother will be here in the morning, don't delay."

Yu Tingwan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "I won't leave. Don't use my brother's hints to threaten me."

When Yu Xiuyun arrived at Prince Wei's Mansion, he happened to see Prince Wei holding Yu Tingwan's hand and explaining something, and coughed twice.

He bowed, lowered his eyes and said, "I have met my lord."

"Brother seems to have lost a little weight." Yu Tingwan walked forward without even looking at Pei Zhi, looked at Yu Xiuyun, and asked eagerly: "How are Qiutao and Jiaoyue?"

"They are doing well at my place, but Que Wen cannot go to Beijing, and Jiao Yue's legs are still the same." Yu Xiuyun finally smiled on his face.

Pei Zhi cast his faint eyes on the two men and motioned for Yu Xiuyun to sit down.

"The leg injury is nothing. Guhui will send a doctor there." Pei Zhi looked cold, and Yu Xiuyun dared to mention the news in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I want to talk to my brother alone."

Yu Tingwan finally paid attention to him and opened his mouth to chase him away. Pei Zhi stood up and glanced at Yu Xiuyun. His face dropped as soon as he left Yu Tingwan's sight.

When Yu Xiuyun saw King Wei leaving, he talked to her about some innocuous matters, just to tell her not to worry.

Finally, he remembered his sister's "Your Majesty" and asked, "How is King Wei treating you?"

Yu Tingwan thought of the gold bracelet on her wrist. She didn't know how to answer, and she didn't want to make her brother worry and blame herself. She was silent for a while and said, "I don't know."

Yu Xiuyun understood and said softly: "It's fair to say that a scholar is delayed. Brother, I hope you never know."

"I want to visit your house." Yu Tingwan didn't want to continue talking about this matter, so she smiled and said, "Is that okay?"

"Of course you can. You can come to where I live at any time."

Yu Tingwan went out and said to Pei Zhi: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Pingyang Hou Mansion."

"You have a rest today, I'll go with you."

Now that Yu Xiuyun was not around, Yu Tingwan said angrily: "If I want to go out in the future, will I have to be with you?"

"What if I say yes?" Pei Zhi's expression was cold. He stood outside, and Yu Tingwan's "I don't know" faintly entered his ears.

"Why don't you tell me to use that bracelet to carry me with you during the day?"

"It would be very humiliating for you to be seen during the day." Pei Zhi stared at her with his eyes lowered and gently touched her right wrist with his fingers, "But otherwise, I can't sleep at night."

Just as Yu Tingwan was about to taunt, "You know this is an insult," she saw him bowing her head and said, "Wanwan has kindness towards everyone, why can't you be gentle towards me?"

"Because you alone won't let me go anywhere."

Pei Zhi's expression froze for a moment, "That's all, you and Yu Xiuyun are together, remember to bring Chen Xing with you."

Yu Tingwan glanced at him dubiously, and seeing that he had no intention of going back on his word, he didn't even look back to look for his brother.

Wearing a curtain and following Yu Xiuyun's carriage, she suddenly heard Pei Zhi calling her to stop.

"When will you come back, I will pick you up."

Yu Xiuyun said: "My lord has forgotten, I am afraid that several clan members will go to Prince Wei's Mansion to discuss matters today, so I will send her back in person."

When Pei Zhi left the capital, the government affairs were handed over to several confidants and relatives of the Pei family. Today they will come to discuss the government affairs in detail.

As the carriage drove away, the maidservant beside Pei Zhi did not dare to spy on his face with the corner of his eye.

While several ministers were waiting in the study, they suddenly felt uneasy when they saw Pei Zhi's face, wondering what they had done recently to displease King Wei.

Pei Zhi's cousin was more courageous and asked, "My lord was unwell yesterday. Is he feeling better today?"

After noticing that these subordinates were trembling, Pei Zhi suddenly realized that his emotions were too obvious today. He looked calm and said, "It's just some family matters and has nothing to do with you."

After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to his usual state of discussing affairs, Pei Zhi's eyes were a little tired, and his mouth had a usual light smile. He was usually quite tolerant of his subordinates who talked a lot of nonsense, but today he occasionally showed impatience.

When Chen Du talked at length about unnecessary trivial matters for the third time, Pei Zhi finally put down the teacup in his hand.

At the end of today's discussion, it was still early, so Pei Zhi ordered someone to prepare a carriage and go straight to the Yu Mansion.

When Yu Tingwan heard that Pei Zhi was coming, he was sitting in the yard drinking tea and was surprised for a moment.

"My lord said he was waiting outside." Chen Xing looked subtle, "He said there is no need for the princess to be anxious and she can just enjoy herself."

The carriage of Prince Wei's palace was outside, and Yu Tingwan couldn't really hang him there.

"Wanwan, do you want to go back?"

"I don't want to." Yu Tingwan sat down again and took a sip of tea, feeling a little cold.

Yu Xiuyun said softly: "If you are worried, you can go back first. King Wei's carriage is too eye-catching."

"I think so too." Yu Tingwan murmured.

When she entered the carriage, she saw a box of Dongguanglou's pastries on the cabinet. It seemed to be a style she had never seen before. It was small and delicate. She picked up a piece and took a bite.

"Do you like it?" Pei Zhi had a faint smile on his face. She came out earlier than he thought.

On the wedding day, he specially invited the pastry chef from Dongguang Tower to Prince Wei's Mansion to figure out a new style.

It was originally made according to her taste, and there was also a dish in the wedding room, just in case she would get hungry.

"The taste is okay." Yu Tingwan said this. After finishing one piece slowly, he picked up another piece.

Seeing her finish the second piece, Pei Zhi finally couldn't help but make a sound.

"Eat less, I'll take you to Dongguang Tower for dinner."
