After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

There was a rush of footsteps inside the door. It was obvious that the servant on night duty was hiding in the hut to avoid the cold. Then he heard the sound of the door opening and ran out.

"Mr. Lang, are you back?" The servant bowed and held the lamp with a respectful tone.

"Yes. Let Mrs. Zheng come to my hospital." Li Xiujing paused and said in a deep voice: "A friend of mine is injured. Someone needs to give her medicine."

After speaking, Li Xiujing continued to move forward. Only then did the servant see clearly that their husband was carrying someone behind his back. It seemed to be a girl.

The servant was wondering who it was when he suddenly remembered his husband's instructions. He quickly went to the nursing home to find Zheng Nu and went to Langjun's courtyard.

"Who is Mrs. Zheng?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

"I'm a wet nurse." Li Xiujing smiled and explained: "Why do I think you are nervous? Jiajia, I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

The words made Pei Jiaoran pinch him in the face and said viciously: "Don't call me Jiajia."

"Okay." Li Xiujing nodded obediently.

While they were talking, the two of them had already entered Li Xiujing's bedroom. The furnishings in the house are exactly the same as his residence in Guazhou Governor's Mansion. The only difference is that the texture is much better, which shows how wealthy the Li family is, but this is the style of the Guanlong family, the overall decoration is very rough.

"Drink some tea." When he carried Pei Jiaoran back, he noticed that her hands were cold from the cold.

Taking the tea from Li Xiujing and holding it in the palm of his hand, Pei Jiaoran sat cross-legged and looked cute.

"Xuan Yin, what's going on?" The door was pushed open in an instant.

I saw a lady with her hair in a high bun and a blue skirt with a few hostas striding in with an old woman. There were four maidservants following behind, and the six of them walked toward the bed in a mighty manner.

The aroma hit his face, and Pei Jiaoran frowned. Moved back subconsciously. Although she had seen such scenes in story books, she really could not imagine that such a thing would happen to her.

She slandered, "Li Xiujing, that bastard."

Just as she was about to take her hand, she was suddenly held by someone. She heard someone speaking warmly in front of her: "Little lady, why are your hands so cold?" After saying that, she stuffed a sleeve stove into her hand, "Hurry and cover it, don't let it freeze. sick."

"Ms. Changsun." Pei Jiaoran came back to his senses and nodded and smiled at Madam Changsun in front of him, "Junior Pei Jiaoran is a colleague of Brother Xuanyin. I'm really sorry to bother you so late."

Li Xiujing on the side couldn't help but chuckle after listening to Pei Jiaoran's words. As expected, she was smart enough to seize the opportunity first and finish all the questions that his mother-in-law wanted to ask.

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Changsun said warmly.

While Mrs. Changsun was not paying attention, Pei Jiaoran quickly looked at Li Xiujing for help.

Seeing this, Li Xiujing came over and said in a gentle tone, "Mom, you'd better let Zheng Nu look at Qingjia's injuries first. Qingjia is now a member of Zhongshushe, how can she ask for leave so easily."

"Zhongshu Sheren?" Mrs. Changsun glanced at her, her eyes full of admiration, "I remembered it. She is the female number one scholar you mentioned, Aye, and she has been promoted to Zhongshu Sheren less than a year after she came back. . I didn’t expect that I would have the chance to meet her today. You don’t know, but you, Aye, are full of praise for her."

Hearing Mrs. Changsun's voice, Pei Jiaoran sat even more obediently.

Li Xiujing helped Mrs. Changsun stand up and looked at Mrs. Zheng.

The curtain fell, and Zheng Nu bent down and said softly: "Young lady, don't be afraid, I have a good understanding of medicine."

With Zheng Nu's help, Pei Jiaoran took off his robe. Lying prone on the couch, his snow-white back was exposed.

"Fortunately, it's just a bruise. I'll give you some medicine right now." As she spoke, Zheng Nu picked the ointment from the medicine box and spread it evenly on the injured area on her back.

Zheng Nu's movements were extremely light, as if she had deliberately controlled her strength. As long as she hissed a little, Zheng Nu would stop and ask if it hurt her.

Pei Jiaoran shook his head when he heard about it.

Seeing Zheng Nu packing the medicine box nearby, Pei Jiaoran quickly put on his robe.

She stood up and stepped out of the curtain, looking around. Li Xiujing was the only one left in the room sitting at the desk, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn Records" in his hand and reading.

"Xuan Yin, you should know who A Ruo is, right?" Pei Jiaoran walked over to him and sat down with his clothes on.

After hearing this, Li Xiujing nodded, "Look at the reactions of you, Ji Gui, and that guy Lu Zheng. Ah Ruo should be Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

"Yes." Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing, his lips and teeth moved, "Although the prince is a noble of Qiancheng, and his position as deputy deputy is firmly established, your majesty's attitude is very subtle. On the one hand, he gives the prince power, and on the other hand, he acquiesces to Zhang Rang's support. King of Yue."

"Ji Gui is the deputy leader of the right guard of the East Palace. He and the East Palace both prosper and lose. As for Lu Zheng, he was born in the Jinwu Guard. Neither of these two people will say much about this matter."

Although he didn't particularly like Lu Zheng, he knew that Jin Wuwei was in charge of the imperial guards. If the Crown Princess's departure from the palace is reported, most of the Jinwu Guards on duty today will be implicated. As the superior officer of Jinwu Guard, he certainly would not leave his men alone.

"I know. I just think it's a little too easy for Ah Ruo to leave the palace. Besides, I don't believe that with so many people in the East Palace, no one noticed that the Crown Princess was missing." Pei Jiaoran's tone was slightly cold.

She believed that it would not be difficult to get out of the palace with Wei Ruo's intelligence, but it was impossible for no one to find out for so long. And no one from the East Palace came out to look for A Ruo. In short, there are too many doubts about this matter.

"If you are really worried, I will go to Ji Gui early tomorrow morning and ask him to take Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess back to the palace." Li Xiujing sat down with her sleeves folded, her tone was calm and low, "But I think you have surrendered to Jia Gonglu now. , it’s best not to get too close to the prince and the others.”

The prince is still the prince, and he is His Majesty's biological son no matter what. But Pei Jiaoran is different, she is a minister. He was afraid that she would become a victim of power again.

"Don't worry, I am sensible about this matter." Pei Jiaoran put a smile on his face and played with the mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood brush next to his hand. "Now that I am free from the shackles of Jia Gonglu, it is not a bad thing to make friends with the prince."

Judging from the last advice, the prince's impression of her has somewhat changed. She didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.

"Qingjia, you seem to be very optimistic about Jin Wuwei?"

Wenwen asked Pei Jiaoran with a sharp smile on his lips, "Do you want to say Jin Wuwei or Lu Zheng?"

"We all want to know." Li Xiujing said in a lazy tone.

"Although the Jinwu Guards have been out of power for many years, they still have some power left. With a little inducement, they can be effective." Pei Jiaoran blinked and said warmly: "If there were no Jinwu Guards who wanted to help that day, how could the people in the Yushi Prison follow Shence? The public servant will bring someone out? As for Lu Zheng..."

The words were cleverly paused this time, and Pei Jiaoran's eyes lingered on Li Xiujing.

"Huh? He is an official from the shadow of his family, and the Jiangdong gentry are very pedantic." Li Xiujing raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of pride.

No matter how you look at it, his conditions are better than Lu Zheng's.
