After wearing a book, he became the emperor's rival in love

The guards who went to the capital to deliver the letter rushed on and invited Chen Xuan here before dusk, accompanied by two imperial physicians, Qin and Zhang.

Pei Siyuan's entourage, Yang Ming, also brought a group of people over upon hearing the news, probably because he was afraid of any accidents, so that he could respond at any time.

"How is Lord Hou?" Chen Xuan asked Pei Siyuan as soon as he saw him.

"Over there in the small building, there is a doctor from the mansion watching." Pei Siyuan thought for a while, then said to Yu Zhou, "Take Imperial Doctor Zhang to see the luthier."

Hearing the words, Yu Zhou did not doubt that he was there, so he hurriedly led Doctor Zhang to the place where the luthier was placed.

Although the luthier was not injured today, but after all she was pregnant and received such a big stimulus, it would be safer to let the imperial doctor take a look.

"Yang Ming, stay with Yu Sheren and beware of that luthier," Pei Siyuan said.

When Yang Ming heard the words, he hurriedly left, leaving all the people he brought back to Pei Siyuan.

Chen Xuan glanced at Yu Zhou's back, and asked, "Who pushed him away on purpose?"

"The matter is too complicated, I don't want to scare him." Pei Siyuan said to Chen Xuan: "You have someone search the Hou's mansion, maybe you can find the bodies that were missing before."

Chen Xuan was startled when he heard the words, but his expression was not very surprised.

When Pei Siyuan sent someone to call him over, he didn't send him any message.

However, based on what he knew about Pei Siyuan, and the fact that the luthier was pregnant, he had already guessed something along the way.Hearing what Pei Siyuan said now just confirmed his guess.

"Master is... Lord Hou?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Ask him yourself." Pei Siyuan said.

Chen Xuan didn't ask any more questions, and ordered people to search the Hou's mansion.

Pei Siyuan led Chen Xuan and Imperial Physician Qin to walk towards the small building together.

"That's right." Pei Siyuan remembered something, stopped his steps, and said to a follower who followed him: "Find someone in the house who knows the way to take you to where I live. There is a palm-sized amber in the house. Take it, it's physical evidence."

"Yes." The pro hurriedly answered and left.

"What amber?" Chen Xuan asked puzzled.

"See for yourself later." Pei Siyuan said.

When he thought that the thing was originally intended to be given to Yu Zhou by Ping Xihou, his eyes turned cold, obviously he was deeply concerned about this matter.

When everyone arrived in the small building, Ping Xihou had already been placed on the temporary couch.

The doctor of the Hou Mansion stood by, sweating from nervousness.

"What's the matter?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"My lord, you are back." The doctor hurriedly said, "Master Hou just woke up for a while and said he wanted to see you."

Pei Siyuan's eyes fell on Ping Xihou, and saw that the other person's eyes were closed tightly, and his complexion was very pale.

If it weren't for his chest still heaving slightly, Pei Siyuan couldn't help but suspect that he might be dead.

"Doctor Qin, please." Pei Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Qin hurriedly stepped forward to check Ping Xihou's pulse, and then checked his injuries.

The doctor told Imperial Physician Qin about his injury and how he dealt with the wound.

Physician Qin nodded, with a serious expression on his face.

"How?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Master Hou's injury is critical, and he has lost too much blood. This time, I'm afraid..." Imperial Physician Qin sighed.

Pei Siyuan's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Is there no other way?" Chen Xuan asked.

"The old man can only give him an injection to keep him awake for a while, and maybe he can have a few words with Vice Commander Pei. But other than that, the old man is really powerless." Doctor Qin said.

Chen Xuan glanced at Pei Siyuan, and then said, "Then I will trouble Imperial Physician Qin."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Qin hurriedly opened the medicine box he carried with him, took out the silver needle from it, and then asked the doctor of the Hou Mansion to help him remove Ping Xihou's coat.

After a while, Ping Xihou took a heavy breath and woke up.

"Deputy Commander Pei, to make a long story short, I'm afraid time is limited." Imperial Physician Qin said hastily.

Hearing this, Pei Siyuan took a few steps forward and walked to Ping Xihou's side.

"Siyuan..." Ping Xihou looked at him, and said weakly, "I almost made it."

"Yeah, who would have thought that the luthier who is at your mercy would suddenly attack you?" Pei Siyuan said, "You are too conceited."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Ping Xihou's eyes, and he murmured: "God won't help me."

"People are not puppets, how can they be willing to be at your mercy?" Pei Siyuan said, "After so many years, you still don't understand."

"It's too late to say anything." Ping Xihou said weakly.

"Why do you do this?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Why?" Ping Xihou looked at Pei Siyuan and said with a smile, "I'm happy, so I did it. People in this world must have something to make them happy, otherwise what's the point of living to a hundred years old?"

"The thing that makes you happy is disregarding other people's lives?" Pei Siyuan frowned.

"I have paid so much for Dayuan, so what if I take a few lives?" Ping Xihou said.

When Pei Siyuan heard this, he almost laughed angrily. He could never have imagined that his uncle would say such a thing.

"You fought for your country back then, so that you can wantonly take the lives of innocent people today?" Pei Siyuan asked.

Ping Xihou looked at him, and said with a sneer: "You have learned to be good with His Majesty. You have been running around for him all day, and you have been insulted and slandered by the people in the court. What have you gained? The world treats you sincerely, only with you." The man whose blood is thicker than water..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing a few times, and his pale complexion suddenly turned a little red.

"Where is the Gu master who helped you refine the medicine?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Hehe." Ping Xihou smiled weakly, and said: "Do you know why the lotus in the lotus pond blooms here and there? That Gu Master's body must have been poisoned... poisoned most of the lotus in the pond to death."

When the people present heard that there was a dead body in the lotus pond, they couldn't help but feel chills down their spines.

You must know that the small building where they are now is in the lotus pond, which means that the corpse may be at their feet.

"Siyuan..." Ping Xihou probably realized that his time was approaching, so he reached out and grabbed Pei Siyuan's clothes.

Pei Siyuan leaned over to look at him, his eyes full of disappointment and pain.

"Don't blame uncle... I am the only one in this world... I will give you the best things..."

Ping Xihou looked at Pei Siyuan, swallowed his breath before finishing a sentence, and did not close his eyes until he died.

Pei Siyuan stared at him blankly for a while, and finally reached out to help him close his eyes.

"Deputy Commander Pei, my condolences are in order." Chen Xuan said to him.

Pei Siyuan didn't say anything, turned and left there.

"Find someone to fish in the pond, maybe they are all in it." Pei Siyuan stood outside the small building, looking at the pond in front of him and said.

Even if Chen Xuandang ordered someone to go to the pond to retrieve the corpses, if Pei Siyuan expected it to be true, the three missing people and the Gu master might all be inside.

"Why did you think that he would hide the corpse in the Hou's Mansion?" Chen Xuan asked.

Pei Siyuan said: "The master is so cautious, the safest place to hide the corpse is naturally his own home."

"It's a pity that he was careless in the end." Chen Xuan said.

If he could suppress his desire to show off, probably no one would find out until the fetus in the luthier's womb was full-term.

"Deputy Commander Pei, Chen Shaoqing." The voice of Imperial Physician Qin suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Pei Siyuan looked back, and saw the imperial physician said with a complicated expression: "It's best for you two to come in and take a look."

The two of them didn't know, so they followed the imperial physician back to the house.

"Just now, the old man wanted to help Lord Hou sew up the wound on his body, so that he can be buried in the ground." Qin Taiyi said: "But when the doctor in the mansion helped him change his clothes, he found..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and lifted off the thing covering Ping Xihou's body, exposing the other person's body.

Pei Siyuan and Chen Xuan's eyes paused somewhere, and they were startled.

"How could this be?" Chen Xuan looked at Pei Siyuan in surprise, and was even more shocked by Pei Siyuan's expression than he was.

Qin Taiyi said: "This matter is the privacy of Lord Hou, so I shouldn't say too much to others. But I think it has something to do with the case, so I think I should tell the truth to the two of you. .”

"Hou Ye's injury doesn't look like a new injury. Judging from the time, it may have been left during the battle." Qin Taiyi said: "At that time, Hou Ye was captured for a period of time. I think...it was a lot of pain. Less humiliation."

Chen Xuan heard and said, "Could it be because he suffered humiliation and suffered such a disability in his body that his temperament changed drastically?"

"This old man doesn't dare to make a statement." Doctor Qin said.

Pei Siyuan looked at Ping Xihou's body, and said: "If you are injured by an evil spirit, you don't go to the evil spirit to claim your life, but turn into an even worse ghost to kill innocent people... This is what you want to teach me ?"

Chen Xuan stretched out his hand and patted Pei Siyuan's shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him for a while.

"If Lord Hou..." Chen Xuan considered his tone and asked, "Whose is the fetus in the luthier's womb?"

Hearing this, Pei Siyuan turned to look at him, obviously aware of the problem.

the other side.

Yu Zhou took Doctor Zhang to the place where the luthier was placed.

The luthier had already changed into clean clothes, and was standing by the window in a daze.

After seeing Yu Zhou, he looked him up and down from top to bottom, with a playful expression on his face.

"This is Imperial Doctor Zhang from the palace, he is very skilled in medicine." Yu Zhou said to the luthier.

The luthier smiled lightly and said: "Since he is an imperial physician, he should be very clear. In my current situation, I can't give birth to this child, and I can only live one day longer. When the child can't stay in the house for a full term, I can only Die with him."

But even though he said so, he did not refuse Doctor Zhang to diagnose his pulse.

Yu Zhou looked at him and frowned, "We can find a way."

"Can you figure it out?" the luthier asked back.

Yu Zhou was left speechless by his question, only feeling bored for a while.

When he saw the luthier, he couldn't help but think of the young man in Cheng's mansion who was stillborn and killed two people.

At that time, the imperial doctor said that there was no way to take out the stillborn fetus, that would only make the adults suffer more and die faster.So he knew in his heart that the luthier would face the same ending in the future.

Even if the other party is not dead now, the luthier will still die when the child is not born after full term.

"Let's... think of a way..." Yu Zhou said without confidence.

The luthier's eyes fell on his face, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly said: "Your snacks are good."

Yu Zhou was startled, but didn't react for a while.

"On the rooftop that day, the half pack of dim sum you gave me was delicious." The luthier said again.

"Ah..." Yu Zhou hurriedly said, "If you like it, I'll give you some later."

The luthier smiled lightly when he heard the words, and did not refuse.

"Everyone has his own destiny, let's take a look at it." The luthier said.

"We... will try to find a way." Yu Zhou said stubbornly.

"You?" The luthier raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean with Deputy Commander Pei?"

"He's very smart." Yu Zhou said, "He's the smartest person I know."

"Yes." The luthier said: "He and Lord Hou's blood is thicker than water, so you are not afraid that he will be the same as Lord Hou?"

"No." Yu Zhou hurriedly said: "You don't know him, he is a good person."

The luthier stared at Yu Zhou for a while, and then asked, "Do you think you know him well?"

"Anyway, I know better than you..." Yu Zhou felt that the luthier seemed to be trying to provoke the relationship between him and Pei Siyuan.

But after he thought about it, it seemed reasonable for the luthier to hold a grudge against Ping Xihou and anger Pei Siyuan, so he didn't think about it any further.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then Pei Siyuan and Chen Xuan walked in.

"Is he alright?" Chen Xuan asked.

"The pulse condition is fairly stable." Doctor Zhang hurriedly said.

Pei Siyuan looked at Yu Zhou, and said, "Take Imperial Doctor Zhang to rest for a while, I have something to ask him."

Yu Zhou seemed a little worried when he heard the words, he hesitated to look at the luthier, but in the end he followed Pei Siyuan's words and took Imperial Physician Zhang out.

"Whose child is it?" Pei Siyuan asked straight to the point.

"Since you know it's not Hou Ye's, is there any need to ask this?" The luthier said, "It doesn't matter who it is?"

Pei Siyuan asked: "He has done so much deliberation, why on earth?"

"Does that mean he's dead when you ask me that?" asked the luthier.

Pei Siyuan didn't hide from him and nodded.

The luthier couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, with a bit of joy in his eyes.

"He's just a lunatic. Does a lunatic need reason?" The luthier said: "He just wants to torture people, just like a juggler tossing monkeys. But he's not even as good as a juggler. At least a juggler has a reason to support his family , he just did it for fun."

Pei Siyuan stared at him for a while, then asked again: "Whose child is it?"

"The bodyguards of the Hou's Mansion probably have already rotted in the lotus pond." The luthier said.

Pei Siyuan probably also guessed the result, so he got up and walked out without further questioning.

The luthier looked at his back, and suddenly said, "He really cares about you."

"What?" Pei Siyuan turned around and asked.

"There are some things he can't do, but you can." The luthier said.

"What do you mean?" Pei Siyuan asked again.

"He really didn't tell you when he was dying?" the luthier asked.

Pei Siyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help recalling what Ping Xihou said to him before he died:

"Don't blame uncle... I am the only one in this world... I will give you the best things..."

What is the best thing?

Pei Siyuan's thoughts changed sharply, and various thoughts kept popping up in his mind.

For Ping Xihou, isn't the "best thing" all that he has worked out?

But what does this have to do with me, is Ping Xihou planning to give him the luthier?

No, there must be something he didn't want to understand.

Afterwards, Pei Siyuan's eyes froze, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.

He looked at the luthier in disbelief, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to ask.

"Where's Yu Sheren?" Pei Siyuan hurried out and asked the people outside.

"A brother from Dali Temple came over with an amber just now, and Yu Sheren found out that there was an unformed fetus in the amber after questioning him, and he vomited." The man hurriedly said: "Afterwards, Doctor Zhang took him to rest. "

"Where did you go?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Just left, I went over there." The man pointed to a house not far away.

Pei Siyuan strode towards the house, all kinds of messy thoughts kept popping up in his mind along the way.

He kept denying his absurd guess, but there was another voice in his heart that kept singing the opposite.

He quickly walked to the door and opened it, and saw Imperial Doctor Zhang was checking Yu Zhou's pulse by the low couch.

On the low couch, Yu Zhou's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and the cold sweat on his forehead soaked his broken hair.

"Why..." Pei Siyuan opened his mouth and realized that his voice was a little hoarse, "What's going on?"

"Yu Sheren was frightened and passed out." Doctor Zhang said while checking Yu Zhou's pulse.

Pei Siyuan's gaze fell on his face, and he saw Imperial Doctor Zhang's brows tightened, his expression unpredictable, as if he had encountered a huge problem.And after examining it for a while, as if he didn't quite believe it, he changed his hand and examined it again.

When Pei Siyuan saw his expression, his heart suddenly turned cold...
