Dianxia Qingcheng

"3 taels! 3 taels! 3 taels!" She looked up to the sky and sighed, "I have never seen so much money in my life! Now I will give it to someone else in the blink of an eye!"

Pei Zheng walked beside her, "It's my money."

"Isn't your money money? Ah! You can't stay in Laoshizi Villa any longer, call the apprentice, we have to leave quickly!"

Pei Zheng raised his eyes to look at her, and said in a calm tone, "I can't go, the lake is frozen, and I'm afraid it won't melt within a day or two."

Shen Huan looked up to the sky and sighed for a while, then said, "I almost forgot, where is my little disciple? I haven't seen him all day, does she know that his precious master almost died because of him?"

While talking, the two had almost reached the three-story pavilion, but Pei Zheng said nothing.

Shen Huan asked, "Master Pei, didn't you hear? I asked where my apprentice is? Hasn't he been with you all the time?"

Only then did Pei Zheng lazily say "um", it seemed that he didn't want Shen Huan to talk too much.

Shen Huan is such a well-informed person, she thought wildly for a moment, and then her heart jumped, "No way"

"Master Pei, you and the little apprentice don't know how long you have known each other, so it's not that far, is it?"

Before Pei Zheng could answer, Shen Huan ran into the pavilion.

Pushing open the door, shouted, "Little apprentice!"

Too bad no one responded.

Shen Huan ran up to the second floor, and saw Shen Jiu's robes scattered all over the floor, and a small section of white and tender arm was exposed inside the curtain.

Trembling, Shen Huan walked over, raised the heavy curtain a little, covered his eyes and looked in through his fingers.

She suddenly put down the curtain again, and her old face blushed uncontrollably, but luckily she couldn't see it because of the mask.

"Master Shen."

Pei Zheng's cool voice sounded from behind, "Your ears are red."

Shen Huan turned around, "I know!"

She really couldn't accept it all of a sudden, that her precious little apprentice who had been raised for so long was actually abused, and it was not lightly abused, as could be seen from the traces on her body she saw just now.

However, Pei Zheng bypassed Shen Huan, walked to the bedside calmly, pulled up the exposed half of the arm, and gently put it back into the curtain.

Chen Huan felt that she was a little short of breath staying here, so she gave Pei Zheng a look.

"Lord Pei, please excuse me."

Then Chen Huan went downstairs first and went to the first floor to wait.

Pei Zheng opened the curtain, and saw that the little man lying on the bed had quilts down to his waist. Fortunately, the charcoal fire was burning in the room, otherwise he would have caught cold again.

It's just that there are little red marks on the back that was originally smooth and clean as jade, which is really warm.

Pei Zheng rolled up the quilt for the little man who was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

Shen Nineteen's long eyelashes trembled, and suddenly he opened his eyes slightly.

"Brother Pei, is it dawn?"

It was already dark again.

Pei Zheng smiled and smoothed the soft black hair on his side.

"No, go to sleep."

"Oh..." Shen Nineteen arched the pillow, buried his head deep in the quilt, and fell asleep again.

Pei Zheng went downstairs, and Shen Huan stood in the middle of the first floor with a serious expression on his face.

"Ahem, Mr. Pei, I think we should have a good chat about Shen Jiujiu."

Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, there's something I haven't told you all this time."

Shen Huan thought for a while, and felt that this matter must not be hidden from Pei Zheng. If Pei Zheng really pursued it, he might be able to find out the small tribe of the foreigner.

"I'm also a foreigner, and I have a blood relationship with Shi, so he is not only my apprentice, but also my relative."

Pei Zheng didn't show much surprise when he heard the news, Shen Huan immediately realized that Pei Zheng must have known about it a long time ago.

"Well, what else?"

Sure enough, Pei Zheng's tone was neither cold nor calm.

"That is to say, I know Shi's true identity." Shen Huan looked at Pei Zheng and said word by word, "He is the prince of the Celestial Dynasty, Qi Changyi."

Hearing this familiar name again, Pei Zheng's expression finally changed.

Shen Huan continued, "I'm afraid not many people know what happened to the prince before, Mr. Pei, you should know him best."

Pei Zheng's eyes gradually turned cold, and he tapped his fingers on the table silently.

Seeing his cold look, Shen Huan became afraid to say some things.

"Master Pei, can I ask you something?"

Shen Huan said, "I just ask you, no matter what happens, don't hurt him."

Pei Zheng smiled suddenly.

This is natural.

Not only would it not hurt him, but it would hold him in the palm of his hand and take care of him carefully.

This is the treasure he lost and found, it is the heart and liver that involves his internal organs, how could he be willing to hurt it?

Shen Huan left the pavilion and went to Zhao Litang's place.

I don't know what happened to Yue Nu's body, Wu Quan hurriedly called her over, Shen Huan was still worried about the little disciple, she had a very important matter before she had time to tell Pei Zheng, and Wu Quan hurriedly called her over. Quan was taken away.

After Shen Huan left, Pei Zheng went back upstairs.

It's getting dark, it's time to rest.

The candlelight in the pavilion flickered twice, then suddenly went out.

In the next few days, the ice on the lake slowly melted, and everyone had to live in the villa.

The few adults who needed to go to court were so anxious that they didn't go to the palace for several days. I don't know how the emperor will blame them.

And Pei Zheng didn't need to go to court originally, and he was a little annoyed by the emperor's pronouncing him every day in the past few days, but now he just happened to be happy.

And Shen Jiu lived in Pei Zheng's house, the three-story pavilion, where he used to live alone, was alone and empty, but now he felt very warm.

It didn't snow anymore outside, but the snow outside the building was still thick and deep.

Shen Jiujiu ran out to play in the snow during the day, making snowmen and pinching snowballs by himself. It was obviously such a boring and monotonous thing, but he had a lot of fun.

Pei Zheng leaned against the door, watching the little man in the snow having fun, seeing him so happy, Pei Zheng also felt a lot brighter in his heart.

And in the dead of night, there would always be some sobbing and whimpering in the room, and then the soft coaxing of a certain deep voice would subside slowly.

On the fifth day, Shen Jiujiu's scar healed up again and he forgot the pain. As soon as the sky was bright, he forgot the tossing and tossing in the middle of the night, and happily plunged into the snow to play.

I don't know why he loves snow so much.

Pei Zheng leaned against the door again, planning to carry the little man into the house after he had had enough fun.

But suddenly he heard movement from the sky, and saw a white pigeon break through the snow light and fly to Pei Zheng's side.

Pei Zheng took off the note from the white dove's leg, unfolded it, and saw that there was not a single word on the paper, only a blood-red mark.

This white pigeon was trained by the former Pei family's dark guard camp, and only listened to the orders of the dark guards, but this pigeon must have been passed on by Cheng Feng in the palace.

Why is there only one drop of blood?

Pei Zheng squeezed the note tightly. Could it be that something happened to the palace?

Counting it, it has been five days since Cheng Feng entered the palace from the day when several people came to Liuyun Villa.

A lot of things can happen in five days in the palace, a place that eats people but doesn't spit out their bones.

And Chengfeng entered the palace because something happened to Jiang Yubai, Pei Zheng asked him to go and investigate, and secretly protected Jiang Yubai.

But now, I don't know what happened.

Pei Zheng walked out the door and said to the little man in the snowdrift, "Come here."

Shen Jiu put down the things in his hand, ran over crookedly, stood in front of Pei Zheng and blinked, looking so obedient.

Pei Zheng squeezed his little cold hands, "Let's go home."

Knowing that Pei Zheng was about to return, although the owner of Qian Zhuang felt that the lake outside was not suitable for boating, he had no way to refuse.

Seeing that Pei Zheng was about to leave, the other adults couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to leave together.

In the end, everyone got on the big boat when they came, and returned by the same way.

There was still some broken ice on the surface of the lake, but it didn't have much impact. The cruise ship safely sent everyone back to the imperial capital.

Until he got off the cruise ship, that Wei Yiren really never appeared in front of Pei Zheng and Shen Jiujiu again.

And Yue Nu's body has fully recovered.

Shen Huan and Shen Jiu went to the General's Mansion first, packed their luggage, and then returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw this familiar gloomy mansion, Chen Huan even began to feel kind.

Maybe it's because Pei Zheng paid 3 taels for him.

Seeing Shen Jiujiu, Li Yu hurried over, looked around Shen Jiujiu up and down, left and right, and made sure that he was intact, so he was relieved.

But Li Yu looked at Shen Huan with something wrong. After all, he just sent someone to send out 3 taels for his lord, all for the purpose of buying three herbs for Shen Huan.

He wondered, what kind of magic medicine could be so expensive?

Shen Huan was wondering why he didn't see Pei Zheng, didn't he go back home first?

Shen Jiujiu asked, "Butler Li, where did your lord go?"

Li Yudao, "Oh, my lord went straight into the palace as soon as he came back. I don't know what happened, maybe the palace announced it again."

However, Pei Zheng didn't come back until dark.

Usually, even if the emperor calls, it has never taken such a long time.

Several people in the mansion were worried, and a servant who followed Pei Zhengtong ran back in a hurry.

"Master Shen! Master Shen! Something happened in the palace!"
