Dianxia Qingcheng

Pei Zheng stepped into the side hall, the wind moved slightly, and the door was closed tightly behind him.

With bright eyes, Shen Jiu ran to the door and stood in front of Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng stayed up all night last night, and now he looks a little tired, with dark shadows in his eyes.

This side hall is very quiet, resisting the noise and chaos outside.

Shen Jiujiu just stood there the whole time, looking up at Pei Zheng slightly, his eyes blinking, he was so obedient.

Pei Zheng slowly bent down, and moved close to Shen Jiujiu's eyes.

Shen Jiujiu met his dark eyes, a little nervous, swallowed silently.

Pei Zheng turned his body sideways, leaned his head on Shen Jiujiu's slender shoulders, turned his face towards his neck, and sniffed lightly. There was a faint smell of medicine, which made people feel at ease.

Shen Jiujiu's body froze, with a long and warm body in front of him, and hot breath spraying on his neck, he didn't dare to move.

"Big, my lord."

"Hmm..." Pei Zheng responded softly.

Shen Jiujiu felt that the person on his shoulders slid down unconsciously, and he quickly stretched out his arms to hug Pei Zheng's waist, making him lean on himself more comfortably and preventing him from sliding down directly.

Pei Zheng also really felt a little tired. After dealing with the queen for so long, she still refused to let go and insisted on announcing Shen Nineteen to enter the palace, which even alarmed the emperor.

There was no other way, Pei Zheng had no choice but to tell his people to go back to the mansion and bring Shen Jiu into the palace as soon as possible.

Then he found an excuse to come out of the inner hall first, and then he came to find Shen Jiujiu in a gap.

No, it's not Shen Nineteen, it's his little Highness.

But this matter must not be discovered by others.

There was a gentle touch on his back, a small hand stroking up and down, as if comforting him.

"Are you tired, sir? It's okay. If you're tired, take a rest. I can lend you my shoulder for a while... My lord is so powerful, I can do everything well, because my lord is the best... ..."

The tone is pretending to be sophisticated and mature, but in fact it sounds like a little adult.

Pei Zheng's eyes were slightly closed, and the corners of his lips were raised, enjoying Shen Jiujiu's comfort and comfort.

This little man really has always had a kind of magical power, it seems that he is always so clear and warm, and the warm current of water can melt all the ice, but he is obviously suffering the most, how can he be so bright and dazzling all the time? Woolen cloth.

Pei Zheng moved his fingers, lifted them up, and slowly wrapped them around Shen Jiu's waist, then withdrew his strength.

Shen Jiujiu's body was suddenly pressed forward, and he couldn't stand upright immediately, and then his body was firmly supported by those powerful arms.

Originally, half of Pei Zheng's body was pressed on Shen Jiujiu's body, but now Shen Jiuda's half body was held up by Pei Zheng and tightly embedded in his chest.

Last night, Shen Jiu was so drunk that he passed out after a sip of wine. Pei Zheng was sent to the palace before he had time to do anything.

Didn't even give him a good hug.

Now holding such a real and soft ball, warm and warm, I can breathe, I can smile when I look at him with crooked eyebrows, and I can shed small tears with red eyes in front of him after being wronged.

The blood in Pei Zheng's chest finally melted into ice and started to flow again. He really wanted to just hug the person in his arms and never let go.

But now, in the inner hall not far away, the majestic emperor and the mean queen are waiting, the weak second princess Qi Bingzhi, who is almost fainting, is also there, as well as several ministers of the queen's family and members of the queen's party Concubines, and countless palace people...

Those people were all eager to snatch away the person he conceived again.

Pei Zheng relaxed a little, let Shen Jiu stand on his own, then clasped the back of his head with one hand, and looked carefully into Shen Jiu's eyes.

The curled eyelashes can't cover the watery and affectionate eyes, and the opening and closing of the eye ends always seem to sweep on people's hearts, attracting people without knowing it.

These eyes were originally changed because of the mask, but now they gradually overlap with the eyes in memory.

Shen Jiu also looked back at Pei Zheng intently. He didn't know what happened to your lord, but he felt that today's lord seems to be a little different from before.

Pei Zheng's slender fingers bent slightly, and lightly touched Shen Jiu's eyelashes, Shen Jiu closed his eyes sensitively.

Afterwards, there was a warm and soft touch on his lips. Shen Jiu didn't dare to open his eyes, and he didn't dare to move. He closed his teeth tightly and tightened the robe around Pei Zheng's waist.

The hot and humid feeling suddenly disappeared, Shen Jiu still closed his eyes, his heart was beating so fast, he heard a low and hoarse voice coming from his ears.

"Tongue sticking out."

After Shen Jiujiu obeyed obediently, all his breath was taken away...

Pei Zheng kept his eyes open, looking at Shen Jiujiu's trembling eyelashes, and the teardrops gradually filling the eyelashes.

The face in front of him seemed to be slowly changing, and the mask on the surface seemed to be melting, evaporating, and disappearing.

Then the original face below was revealed. Because of wearing a mask all the year round, the skin was a little fairer and more delicate than before, and it could be broken like sheep cream and jade fat.

Feeling that Huai Ren'er's breathing was disordered and almost out of breath, Pei Zheng also panted lightly and let him go.

Shen Jiujiu opened his eyes, tears rolled down his long eyelashes, and looked at Pei Zheng wetly, his red lips pursed slightly, and he looked up at Pei Zheng extremely aggrieved.

After seeing his face clearly, Pei Zheng gasped for breath.

The face of the person in front of him is exactly the same as before, even more delicate and beautiful, because the body has not grown up, the face still looks childish.

Eyebrows are like emerald feathers, muscles are like white snow, waist is like beams, lips are like shellfish, eyes are like pearls shaking autumn water, cheeks are blush and face is like delicate flowers, the person reflected by the delicate flowers is somewhat pure and charming, now it is another The pitiful appearance of the deputy pear blossom with rain and tears wet on her breasts, I don't know how lovable it is.

Pei Zheng suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes, made a fist with the other hand, and took a deep breath.

Being looked at twice more by these eyes, Pei Zheng wondered if he would do something regardless of the occasion.

Shen Jiu didn't know why, he didn't know that the mask on his face had been melted away, and he didn't know that he wasn't disfigured at all, it was all Shen Huan's making up a mask to deceive him in order to keep him wearing it.

After Pei Zheng calmed down, he took down his hand.

"My lord... I, I was so uncomfortable just now..."

Pei Zheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes for him.

"Where is the pain?"

"I, I can't breathe... I was almost suffocated..."

Pei Zheng chuckled and tapped the corner of his lips.

"Then I'll teach you how not to feel uncomfortable, okay?"

Shen Jiujiu hadn't heard what he meant, so he nodded obediently, "Okay..."

At this moment, the little lady-in-waiting knocked on the door.

"Young Master Shen."

She was about to open the door to come in, but the door was blocked by someone behind and could not be pushed open.

The little maid had no choice but to lean beside the door and said, "Young Master Shen, the inner hall announced you to pass, you have to come with me."

Shen Jiujiu tugged at Pei Zheng's sleeve and looked at him in a daze, "My lord..."

Seeing his flustered and frightened appearance, Pei Zheng didn't want him to go to the inner hall at all, but at least he was with him, so nothing would happen to him.

Pulling the little man's face to kiss him again, Pei Zheng patted his little head.

"Don't be afraid, I will go with you."

Only then did Shen Jiu feel more at ease, and nodded.

The little maid outside the door was very surprised to hear the whispering voice inside.

"Mr. Shen, are you talking? Could there be other people inside..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the side hall was opened.

The first thing that came into view was a black brocade robe with dark patterns, and the little court lady looked at the Prime Minister standing by the door in shock.

"Pei, Lord Pei..."

The little maid hurriedly saluted, isn't Mr. Pei from the inner hall, why did she not notice when she arrived here.

Pei Zheng just faced Shen Nineteen's tenderness and disappeared in an instant, "Go find a veil."

The little maid didn't dare to be negligent, so she hurriedly went down to look for it, and then brought it over. As soon as the veil was handed over respectfully, the door of the side hall was mercilessly closed in front of her.

Pei Zheng put a veil on Shen Jiu himself, only his eyes were exposed. Fortunately, his eyes didn't change much, and it's not easy for people to see anything strange now.

"Wait a minute, if someone asks you something, just tell it the truth. If you don't know the answer, it's up to me. I'll answer it for you. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Shen Jiujiu nodded, "But my lord, why do I still have to bring this?"

He blew on the veil, and the veil flew up, revealing the bright red lips and small white chin underneath.

Pei Zheng adjusted the veil for him again calmly, but his heart skipped a beat.

When did it become so easy to be teased?

"Just take it with you, don't take it off." Pei Zheng ordered.

"Oh." Shen Jiu nodded obediently.

The door of the side hall opened again, and the little maid was still waiting outside, seeing that the two people inside finally came out, she also let out a sigh of relief.

The little maid led Pei Zheng and Shen Jiu all the way through the outer hall and courtyard, to the door of the inner hall of the bedroom, and then retreated.

The door of the inner hall was open, and the two stood side by side by the door.

Shen Jiu glanced sideways at Pei Zheng, who happened to be looking at him too.

The small hands hidden under the wide cuffs were pinched by Weiliang's fingers, although they were moved away at once, but Shen Jiu's eyes were slightly bent.

Pei Zheng stepped in, and Shen Jiu followed behind him and also walked in.

This inner hall is very large, and as soon as you enter and turn around, you can see people sitting in the hall.

In the high hall in the middle, the emperor and queen sat, and the others sat on both sides.

Pei Zheng saluted the emperor, then walked to the empty seat next to the emperor and sat down.

As for Shen Jiujiu, who was arranged to kneel respectfully in the lobby, he could feel that the eyes of the people around him were all on him, and his head was deeply buried, not daring to move.

"Are you Shen Nineteen?" the Queen asked, her voice was a bit majestic, and no emotion could be heard.

"Yes." Shen Jiujiu's voice was still soft and pitiful.

"Head up."

Only then did Shen Jiu slowly raise his head to look in the direction of the emperor and empress.

As soon as he raised his eyes, the people around were attracted by those extremely beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The emperor sitting on the seat was also slightly surprised. He had seen this person at the banquet before, so why did he feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity now.

Seeing that he was still covering his face, the queen was a little displeased.

"Come here, let me take off his veil."

The eunuch next to him was about to step forward, but Pei Zheng said, "Wait a minute."

"Empress, he has a rash on his face in the past few days. He is afraid that it will infect others, so he wears a veil."

Pei Zheng didn't change his face when he lied, and Shen Jiu knelt there but kept grabbing the hem of his robe nervously.

"Have a rash? Isn't he an apprentice from the Tai Hospital? Why can't even a contagious rash be cured?"

The queen waved the people back, but she still wanted to question her.

"Your Majesty may not understand that doctors don't heal themselves."

The queen's face was a bit ugly, how could she not know this truth, she just showed her majesty to scold others.

At this time, Qi Bingzhi, who had been sitting next to the queen, suddenly coughed twice. In fact, she had just woken up not long ago, and she bled a lot, so she couldn't get out of bed at all.

You should continue to lie down and recuperate in the Tai Hospital.

But Qi Bingzhi can't lie down, things have developed to this point, she has to do enough tricks.

When the queen heard her daughter's cough, she felt distressed for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you have seen how Bing'er's body has been ruined. Although she has not received much favor, the concubine has always taken good care of her as a treasure. Why, why did she live in the prime minister's mansion for three years?" Years, I almost lost my life..."

The queen's eyes were moist as she spoke, she seemed to be really distressed by her daughter.

The emperor patted her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, empress, since this matter has been entrusted to you, you must pay Binger justice."

The queen's eyes became sharper, and she said to the kneeling Shen Jiujiu, "Hurry up and explain the matter clearly, how did you poison Bing'er!"

Shen Jiu hurriedly kowtowed, "Empress, I really didn't poison the second princess..."

Then he told the truth about how he gave Qi Bingzhi the pulse and the process of making the medicine. Although he spoke slowly, he was very detailed, and he could even remember exactly what medicine was prescribed each time. Clearly, it is indeed not like a liar.

"But I heard that you, Ling Bing'er, also prescribed the medicine with mutually repelling properties, is that right?"

Shen Jiujiu shook his head, "No, the repulsive medicine is called Yugui, and it is a very precious medicinal material. I have never prescribed it to the second princess."

"Where did the medicine come from? Could someone else, Ling Binger, prescribe the medicine?" The queen continued to question.

Shen Nineteen replied, "Go back to Empress Empress, yes, his name is Zhou Wu."

"Cough cough cough..."

When Zhou Wu's name was mentioned, Qi Bingzhi's face turned paler, and he even coughed up some blood.

"Bing'er!" The queen took her hand, "Listen to what the queen mother said, you go to the imperial hospital first and let doctor Jiang take a good look at it for you. There is a queen mother here, go quickly."

Qi Bingzhi shook his head, annoyed, "Mother, Bing'er is fine, I, I want to see with my own eyes that those who harmed me are punished."

Seeing her insistence, the queen became a little anxious.

"Where is Zhou Wu now? Why didn't he call to confront him?"

Shen Jiujiu was taken aback by the question. He knew that Zhou Wu was being locked up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but should he say it?

Shen Jiujiu looked at Pei Zheng, only to realize that Pei Zheng had been looking at him the whole time, and even slightly curled the corner of his lower lip towards him.

"Empress, Zhou Wu, are you sure you want to intervene now?"

Pei Zheng glanced at the crowd around him. Few of them really cared about the truth of the matter. They were all the queen's cronies, and they all wanted to see themselves down.

"A young apprentice, I can't ask?" The queen continued without seeing Qi Bingzhi's pale face, "It seems that Mr. Pei also knows the inside story? Or is this matter related to Mr. Pei?"

Pei Zheng didn't answer, but looked at Qi Bingzhi, with a smile on his face.

But that smile made Qi Bingzhi a little restless. Could it be that Pei Zheng knew about himself and Zhou Wu?

no, no...

Qi Bingzhi could only comfort herself constantly, but she was too nervous, and Pei Zheng's eyes made her shiver, as if everything was under his control.

The pain all over her body, as well as the severed finger hidden in the cuff, made her understand Pei Zheng's cruelty.

There was a sudden cramping pain in her abdomen, Qi Bingzhi secretly covered her abdomen with her hands, a thin layer of sweat was attached to her forehead, she clenched her teeth and persisted.

But Xiaomei next to her was the first to notice something was wrong. There was more and more blood stains printed on the princess's skirt, dripping down the chair and falling to the ground.

The queen also saw it, and exclaimed in shock, "Binger, what's wrong with you, Binger! Why are you bleeding so much! Come here, call the imperial doctor!"

The others also became a little rioted, they all wanted to see what was going on with Qi Bingzhi, the blood under the stool was accumulating more and more, it made one's back shudder to see.

Seeing this, Shen Jiu quickly stood up from the ground and ran to Qi Bingzhi to feel her pulse, but the queen pushed him to the ground when she saw him.

"Get out of my way! Don't touch Binger!"

Shen Jiu was half lying on the ground in a daze. He was a doctor. Although he had never seen so much blood flow from the bottom of his body, he just wanted to help. The body will not be able to bear it.

There was some confusion in the inner hall immediately, Qi Bingzhi had already fainted due to excessive blood loss, but no one dared to move her easily, they all surrounded her eagerly trying to help stop the bleeding.

And the emperor also seemed a little worried, sitting on the side frowning and watching everyone busy, several ministers came to comfort, "Your majesty, the second princess will be fine, I have sent someone to call the imperial doctor, and he will be here soon..."

Shen Jiujiu wanted to stand up in the confusion, but he was stepped on a few times by chaotic footsteps. Fortunately, he only stepped on his clothes and not on him.

With great difficulty, he pulled his clothes out from under the concubine's feet, turned over and knelt on the ground, and crawled out from the crowd with hands and feet.

Dodging left and right, the front finally opened up, but a pair of black boots appeared in front of him.

Why does it look familiar.

Shen Jiujiu looked up and saw the familiar hem of the robe, then the straight and slender legs, and then up was Pei Zhengjunyi's face.

Pei Zheng lowered his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, looking at this little man kneeling on the ground with his little head tilted to look at him, his dark eyes brightened up obviously after seeing him .

Very well, Pei Zheng likes to see his undisguised joy every time he sees him.

Pei Zheng bent down, stretched out his hand to put it under Shen Jiujiu's arm, lifted the little man up from the ground with a single effort, put it in front of him and stood up.

However, just as Shen Jiujiu had just stood firm, the veil on his face was suddenly loosened because of the action just now, and fell to the ground, and was ruthlessly stepped on by several palace people who hurried past. .

Behind is the noisy crowd, surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs, as well as the emperor and empress, concubines in the harem, and several important court officials.

Pei Zheng pinched the center of his eyebrows, this little thing would really add to the chaos.

Shen Jiu turned around to pick up the veil that was about to rot, but was turned back by Pei Zheng's shoulders.

Pei Zheng covered the lower half of his face with his palm and looked behind him, but no one noticed their side for the time being.

Leading Shen Jiujiu slowly moved behind the tent next to him, until the figures of both of them were blocked by the tent.

Shen Nineteen blinked vigorously, as if he wanted to say something.

Pei Zheng let go of his hands slightly.

"My lord, in fact, I can cover myself, I..."

Before Shen Nineteen could finish his words, Pei Zhengshou blocked his mouth again. The touch of his hand was really smooth and soft, white and tender, and it seemed to be pierced with force. Under the red marks, more delicate than before.

The two of them were not far from the door, so they quietly exited the door.

——Out of the gate of the inner hall, Pei Zheng let go of Shen Jiujiu, and instead directly hugged him by his little buttocks, letting his legs be clamped by his sides.

It's not the first time that Shen Jiu was hugged by Pei Zheng like this. He wrapped his arms around Pei Zheng's neck. Before he could ask a question, Pei Zheng stepped into Pei Zheng's shoulder with his other hand on his little head. neck.

Since the height difference between the two is enough, it is very appropriate for Shen Jiu to nest on Pei Zheng's shoulder like this.

He still wanted to raise his head to ask where he was going, but as soon as he raised it, Pei Zheng pushed it back.

"Don't look up."

Pei Zheng patted that restless little head, and put it next to his ear, "Don't let others see you."

Only then did Shen Jiu calm down, and lay still on Pei Zheng's shoulder, hiding his face on his shoulder and neck, and outsiders could only see the back of his small head.

Pei Zheng hugged him, raised his energy, tapped his toes to the ground, and walked over the towering palace walls three or two times, and came to a remote bedroom.

After putting Shen Nineteen down, Pei Zheng pushed open the door of the bedroom and let Shen Nineteen in.

"No one will come here, you wait for me here obediently."

Shen Nineteen nodded.

Pei Zheng turned around to leave, but Shen Jiu grabbed his sleeve.

"My lord...will you come to pick me up..."

Shen Jiu's eye circles were a little red for some reason, and his tone was soft and gentle, like a small animal afraid of being left behind.

Pei Zheng felt distressed, and stepped forward to hug the little man into his arms, and kissed his eyes and the corners of his lips.

"Yes, I will never, ever leave you behind."
