The next morning, when Yu Zhou woke up, he found that Pei Siyuan looked a little listless.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, until he saw the other party's eyes were black and blue during breakfast, and he couldn't help being shocked.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Yu Zhou asked.

Pei Siyuan raised his eyes to look at him, remembering the reason why he didn't sleep well last night, and said resentfully: "I slept well last night."

"But you look like you haven't slept all night." Yu Zhou said.

"Hehe." Pei Siyuan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth. When he looked at Yu Zhou, his expression was very complicated.

Yu Zhou always felt that he looked a little unfriendly today, so he consciously shut up and didn't chase after him to ask any more questions.

At noon that day, Chen Xuan came over.

At this moment Yu Zhou was taking a nap in the room, so Pei Siyuan took Chen Xuan to the study.

"Why do you look so bad?" Chen Xuan was startled when he saw his face, and asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Is it so obvious?" Pei Siyuan touched his face and asked.

Chen Xuan sized him up for a while, then said, "You look very angry."

Pei Siyuan said helplessly: "If you drink the tonic for a few days, you will definitely become angry."

"Why do you need to drink tonic?" Chen Xuan asked puzzled.

"Chen Shaoqing?" Pei Siyuan's expression darkened, and he said, "You came all this way to care about me, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan remembered the business and handed him a file in his hand.

"The matter is basically clear. A total of five corpses were salvaged from the pond in Pingxihou's mansion." Chen Xuan said: "According to the inquiries of the luthier and Pingxihou's entourage, it can be basically confirmed that the five corpses are different from each other. It's the three young ladies who disappeared earlier, that Gu master, and... the guard of the Hou Mansion who made the luthier pregnant."

Pei Siyuan flipped through the file casually, and saw that no one mentioned any clues related to Yu Zhou, so he was a little relieved.

"I heard that the people under your command have interrogated the people involved in the Xunhuanlou case?" Chen Xuan asked.

"I have informed His Majesty about this matter, you don't need to ask." Pei Siyuan said.

"Okay." Chen Xuan sighed, "The conclusion of the case is basically like this, but there is one thing I still want to hear from you, that is... what are you going to do about the affairs of Marquis Pingxi?"

According to the laws of the Dayuan Dynasty, Marquis Pingxi killed several people. If he was alive, he would definitely be punished with death.

But now that he is dead, there is no way to punish him. The only thing that needs to be dealt with is his family's property and his funeral.

"What should we do according to the law?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"According to the law, what he committed was a capital crime. After being beheaded, the body can be taken away by the family for burial, but the funeral can only be kept simple." Chen Xuan said: "If no one claims the body, it will be dragged to a mass grave in the suburbs. They were wrapped in straw mats and buried on the spot.”

Pei Siyuan had no expression on his face, and said lightly, "Follow the rules."

"Ah?" Chen Xuan was startled, and asked, "You don't intend to..."

"I won't make arrangements for his funeral." Pei Siyuan said, "You don't have to ask my opinion."

"I was thinking that your father should come to the capital soon. If you don't intervene, won't it be difficult to explain to your father later?" Chen Xuan asked.

Chen Xuan didn't know what Pingxihou Chao Yuzhou had done, so he naturally didn't know that the other party had plotted against Pei Siyuan.

In his opinion, although Ping Xihou's crime is unforgivable, he is Pei Siyuan's uncle after all, so he asked this question.

"I know this matter well, don't worry." Pei Siyuan said.

"That's fine." Chen Xuan didn't try to persuade him any more, but instead said, "Wu Zuo has discussed with Imperial Physician Zhang and the others today, and Imperial Physician Zhang picked two young imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to assist, saying that young people dare If you dare to do something, it may be helpful in this matter.”

Pei Siyuan nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I have already told Yang Ming that from today onwards, I will follow their request and send them the corpses for autopsy. If you have any other requirements, you can send someone to come Let me know."

"Well, don't worry about this matter, I will also be watched." Chen Xuan said: "If it goes well, it should be successful before the fetus in the luthier's womb grows...then the life of the luthier will be saved. "

Pei Siyuan nodded and said nothing.

"It's all the fault of Marquis Pingxi. Although you are his nephew, this matter has nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end. You don't have to put too much pressure on you." Chen Xuan sighed and said: "Okay Take care of yourself."

Chen Xuan didn't know that a large part of the reason why Pei Siyuan was so concerned about this matter was because of Yu Zhou.

Pei Siyuan didn't explain to him after hearing the words, so as not to arouse Chen Xuan's suspicion and drag Yu Zhou into it.

After Chen Xuan left, Yu Zhou still didn't wake up.

When Pei Siyuan entered the room, he saw him lying on his side on the low couch, soundly asleep.

The low couch was a bit narrow, and although Yu Zhou was thin, he still felt aggrieved lying on it.

Pei Siyuan was afraid that he would accidentally fall off when he turned over, so he stepped forward and hugged him to the bed in the inner hall.

Yu Zhou didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. When he was put down, he turned over uneasily, and took advantage of the situation to raise an arm around Pei Siyuan's neck.Pei Siyuan's body froze, looking at Yu Zhou who was so close at hand, he was caught off guard by an impulse.

His gaze followed Yu Zhou's tightly closed eyes all the way down, crossed the bridge of his straight nose, and landed on those thin lips.

At this moment, Yu Zhou did not know what kind of dream he had. He stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick his lips, and then made a swallowing motion.

Pei Siyuan's breath was stagnant, and for a moment, he could hardly restrain himself from throwing all his rationality aside, and only followed his instinct to do something.But he finally restrained himself, put the person down in a hurry, and strode out of the room as if fleeing.

After a while, Pei Siyuan called Guanshi Wang with a stomach full of evil spirits.

"I said I don't need supplements, why are you giving me supplements?" Pei Siyuan said angrily.

"My lord, the medicine I decocted for you has been replaced by Qingxin Quhuo." Steward Wang said with a grimace on his face, "I'm afraid that you were too dry in the past few days, so today I asked the doctor to add some doses. It stands to reason that your fire It's time to lose."

Pei Siyuan snorted coldly when he heard the words, he didn't feel that the fire on his body had subsided, he felt that today was more irritable than yesterday.

"Forget it, the medicines in this clinic are probably not good enough." Pei Siyuan said, "I'll go to the palace today and ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to refill the medicines, and Yu Sheren's medicines will also be changed, so that the medicines in the clinic won't work. Delayed his body."

Manager Wang said thoughtfully, he went to the most famous and time-honored brand in the capital, how could the medicine not work?

But seeing his young master's appearance, he tactfully did not refute anything.

So, Pei Siyuan hurried to see Doctor Zhang that day.

Doctor Zhang was quite surprised when he learned his reason, and said: "If Deputy Commander Pei is worried about the medicine outside, every time I go to the mansion to check the pulse of Yu Sheren, I will grab the medicine belt from the Tai Hospital by the way. It used to be."

"Then please trouble the imperial physician." Pei Siyuan hurriedly saluted him.

"Vice Commander Pei, you don't have to be polite. The old man will catch this medicine himself, and it won't pass through the hands of others, and it won't be recorded in the archives of the Imperial Hospital." Doctor Zhang said.

Pei Siyuan was relieved when he heard this.

Doctor Zhang lingered on his face for a moment, and asked, "Is Deputy Commander Pei feeling unwell in the past two days?"

"The people in the house made a tonic for me on their own initiative." Pei Siyuan said, "I've been a little angry these two days."

"I'm afraid it's not just a matter of tonic?" Doctor Zhang asked.

Pei Siyuan was startled, and asked, "What does the imperial doctor say?"

"Did Deputy Commander Pei restrain himself too much because of the old man's reminder last time, so he hasn't dared to get close to Yu Sheren these days?" Imperial Physician Zhang asked.

"Uh..." Pei Siyuan looked a little uncomfortable, and said, "How dare I do anything wrong with him now?"

"Vice-commander Pei knows how to take care of others, so it's good." Imperial Physician Zhang said: "But you two get along day and night, too much restraint is not enough. If something goes wrong at that time, the loss outweighs the gain."

Pei Siyuan looked helpless and didn't know how to explain it.

Doctor Zhang is obviously an experienced person, and he doesn't shy away from this kind of thing. He said to Pei Siyuan: "Last time, the old man only said that Vice Commander Pei should restrain himself, but he didn't want you to abstain from sex. Grasp the measure and relieve each other appropriately. One or two is fine."

Pei Siyuan laughed dryly, not to mention the embarrassment on his expression.

"Hey." Doctor Zhang sighed, stretched out his hand to pat Pei Siyuan's arm, and said, "Although what happened to Yu Sheren was caused by Lingbo, it was not your intention. You shouldn't blame yourself too much. If you do this Feeling guilty, but alienating Yu Sheren, may not be a good thing for him."

Pei Siyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly felt a little bored.

All along, he has been trying to convince himself not to fall into such guilt, even when facing Yu Zhou, he tried not to let himself think about it.But for some things, not thinking about them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Pei Siyuan had to admit that for Yu Zhou, he had too many complicated emotions in his heart, and guilt really occupied a large part.But he couldn't tell Doctor Zhang that he was not only guilty of Yu Zhou, but also had more things that were hard to say...

However, now that Yu Zhou's life is in danger at any time, he doesn't care about his messy thoughts.

"If you are determined to save Yu Sheren's life, you should convince yourself of this first." Doctor Zhang said: "If you are worried about gains and losses, how can you believe that you will be safe when Yu Sheren knows the truth in the future? "

"Of course I believe it. I will definitely keep him safe and sound." Pei Siyuan said.

"If you really think so, you shouldn't presuppose that Yu Sheren's life is in danger now." Doctor Zhang said: "You should treat him as an ordinary pregnant person, and what you should worry about is how to make yourself a qualified woman." father, and how to fulfill the duty of a husband when Yu Sheren is pregnant."

When Pei Siyuan heard the words, he suddenly realized.

If Doctor Zhang hadn't pointed it out today, he wouldn't have realized his problems these days.

Since he has made up his mind to save Yu Zhou's life at all costs, when he faces Yu Zhou now, he should not regard Yu Zhou as a person who is about to die, but as a person who will survive this calamity safely.

Doctor Zhang is right, only if he firmly believes that Yu Zhou will survive, when the future Yu Zhou learns the truth, he will be able to believe it.

Yu Zhou didn't wake up until noon.

He found that he seemed to be getting more and more lazy now. Apart from eating and eating, he just took a nap every day.

"Are you hungry?" Pei Siyuan asked when he saw that he was awake.

Yu Zhou really wanted to get rid of his current lazy situation, but his stomach growled honestly.

"I'll take you out to eat today." Pei Siyuan said as he helped him get his clothes and put them on, and took him out after tidying up.

After all, the imperial physician had told Yu Zhou not to be bored at home all day long, and that proper exercise would be good for the body.

Pei Siyuan planned to take him to the small noodle shop that he had been to today.

The two of them got out of the alley in a carriage, got out of the car and walked towards the alley on foot.

"I have a few days to go, should I go back to work?" Yu Zhou asked Pei Siyuan.

Pei Siyuan was taken aback, and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to be on duty?"

"I feel like I've been lazy all day long, and it doesn't seem good if I go on like this." Yu Zhou said

"Didn't the imperial physician say that we have to continue taking the medicine?" Pei Siyuan said, "In a few days, let's wait until the medicine is finished."

Yu Zhou nodded, and said, "I'll go home in a few days."

Pei Siyuan paused and asked, "Is it uncomfortable to live in my house?"

"No." Yu Zhou said, "I can't stay at your house all day, can I?"

Thinking of Pei Siyuan's performance recently, he always felt that the other party was a little irritable.

Coupled with the fact that Pei Siyuan's eyes were black and blue today, and he obviously didn't sleep well, no matter how dull Yu Zhou was, he could think that it was probably related to him.He felt that he might have disturbed Pei Siyuan.

"I like to let you hang on." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou was startled when he heard the words, and turned to look at the other party, obviously a little surprised by Pei Siyuan's words.

"You..." Just as Yu Zhou was about to speak, he stepped on a stone and almost fell out of his body.

Pei Siyuan quickly embraced him in his arms, and said, "Walking and watching the road, you looking at me...what are you doing?"

"I..." Yu Zhou felt a little uncomfortable being hugged by him.

Pei Siyuan slowly pulled back his hand, looked down at Yu Zhou and said, "If you go home, who will be responsible for me?"

Yu Zhou didn't expect him to bring this up again, and felt helpless immediately.

"If you don't want to be responsible to me..." Pei Siyuan coughed lightly, and said, "Then I can be responsible to you."

Hearing this, Yu Zhou looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"That's what you heard." Pei Siyuan wrapped his arms around his shoulders and said as he walked into the alley, "In short, one of us must be responsible for the other."

Yu Zhou really wanted to ask him, how should he be responsible for this?

But he was afraid that if he asked, Pei Siyuan would make some weird requests, so he held back.

After the two arrived at the noodle shop, Yu Zhou couldn't help peeking at Pei Siyuan.

He noticed that Pei Siyuan seemed to be different today, and when he looked at him, there was an emotion in his eyes that he didn't quite understand.

He had seen that emotion in the other party's eyes before.

But in the past, the emotions in the other party's eyes were mostly fleeting, as if they were deliberately covered by Pei Siyuan, but today they are completely different.

"Your house hasn't been repaired yet, and you'll have to huddle with them in the backyard when you go back." Pei Siyuan put the eggs in his bowl into Yu Zhou's bowl, and said, "Think about it, it's so hot now, your family Crowded together, it’s inconvenient to take a shower or something, how uncomfortable is it?”

Yu Zhou actually didn't want to go home, so he knew what Pei Siyuan said to persuade him.

The reason why he wanted to go back was because he felt that it was not appropriate to live in the other party's house all the time.

Even if they are friends, it is understandable to stay for a few days occasionally, but it is unreasonable to live all the time and not leave.Especially after realizing that his existence might have affected Pei Siyuan, he became even more uneasy.

"You also know that my house has always been deserted. If you leave, I will stay alone." Pei Siyuan looked at him and asked, "Do you have the heart to leave me alone? If you really leave, there will be a long time to come." In the long night, I can only face it alone, and there is no one around me to inquire about my health."

"You have a housekeeper and servants in your house." Yu Zhou said.

"Can they be the same as you?" Pei Siyuan said, "They can't sleep on my bed."

Yu Zhou: ...

"Brother Yu Xian." Pei Siyuan sighed, and asked Yu Zhou: "You can ask with your conscience, are you a little bit of a bridge? When you were afraid, you slept with my arms every night to strengthen your courage. Did I treat you a lot?" Yi Baishun, never complained?"

Yu Zhou blushed, and hurriedly said: "I didn't put my arms around you... I don't know if I fell asleep, I didn't mean it."

"Anyway, when you woke up several times in the morning, you hugged me and didn't let go." Pei Siyuan said, "I don't know if you did it on purpose."

Yu Zhou had a guilty look on his face, and now he couldn't speak clearly.

He was frightened before and couldn't sleep well at night, so he did rely on Pei Siyuan a lot.

Although Pei Siyuan's words were exaggerated, he couldn't deny it.

"Look, I worked hard when you needed me, but now that you don't need me, you just say you want to go home." Pei Siyuan said, "Is it a little cruel to me?"

Yu Zhou was rendered speechless by what he said, so he could only blushed and nodded.

"Are you full?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"En." Yu Zhou responded.

Pei Siyuan paid the bill, held out a hand to him, and said, "Let's go."

Yu Zhou looked at his hands with a dazed expression, apparently not understanding what Pei Siyuan meant.

"I'm afraid you will fall." Pei Siyuan said.

Only then did Yu Zhou come to his senses, and reached out to support his hand and stood up.

Pei Siyuan immediately took his hand and led him out of the noodle shop.
