On the sixteenth day of the first month, Xiling Moon finally receded from the high fever and woke up leisurely. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yi, Ah Cui, and Ah Dan standing by her bedside, all with tired faces.

"County Lord, you're finally awake!" Atsui was the first to notice her wake up and shouted in surprise.

Xiao Yi ran to the head of the bed with an arrow step, leaned over to wipe the fragrant sweat from the corner of her forehead, and asked softly, "Yue'er, what do you think?" ”

Xilingyue only felt that her throat was swollen and sore, and her voice was dry and hoarse, and she struggled to speak: "Shui ......"

Acui hurriedly brought hot water, and Xiling Yue drank three or four cups in a row before she felt much more comfortable. She gradually recalled what had happened, and asked hoarsely, "What day is it?" ”

"The sixteenth day of the first month." A trace of distress flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, "You have been burning for a few days, it is very dangerous." ”

Xilingyue pursed her lips and didn't speak again.

Not long after, the eldest princess's family of three heard the news and ran in, and before they could say anything concerned, Xilingyue had already spoken: "Father and mother, I want to see General Pei." ”

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and Xiao Yi's hands tightened in their sleeves.

The eldest princess was rarely calm: "Okay, he happens to be there." After that, he told Atsui and Adan again, "Help the county lord get dressed and help her go to the front hall." ”

"Eldest princess, slow down," Xiao Yi immediately stopped, "Yue'er has just woken up, and it is not appropriate to see the wind." ”

"It's okay," Xiling Yue waved her hand, "I'll see you here, get me a cloak." ”

Xiao Yi had nothing to say anymore.

Adan went out to ask Pei Xingli; Atsui picked out a gorgeous cloak for Xilingyue and helped her recomb her hair. After a while, Pei Xingli hurried over, and the eldest princess beckoned a group of people to leave, leaving only Acui and Adan to serve by the side.

Pei Xingli did not hide his worry, and asked her with concern: "What do you think?" ”

"Much better, thank you for that day." Xilingyue didn't care about Sister Hua's presence, and asked him directly, "Princess Fu...... Who is the Holy One? ”

On that day, Li Chun had said that the will to give marriage would not be until after the first month, and Xilingyue's question was sure that Pei Xingli knew the inside story.

He didn't deny it, was silent for a moment, and replied: "It's the eldest daughter of the living house Pei Du, Pei Yunyi." ”

The position of the resident is to record the emperor's words and deeds and national events during the court meeting of the Son of Heaven's palace, which is regarded as a Qingliu faction and is quite respected.

"Pei Du?" Xiling Yue sensitively grasped the point, "It's also a member of the Dongqi Pei clan?" ”

"Yes."

"Also serving in Zhongshu Province?"

"Hmm."

Xilingyue didn't ask any more, and there was no need to ask again.

Pei Xingli's newly recognized father, Pei Yan, is a member of Zhongshu in Zhongshu Province; And this resident Pei Du also served in Zhongshu Province. Both of them are surnamed Pei, and they are both members of the Pei clan in the east, and the relationship can be imagined.

Obviously, now Pei Xingli has won the trust of Li Chun, and his father Pei Yan is also Li Chun's confidant. This Pei Du is naturally no exception, and his position is neither high nor low, and he has no real power, his daughter will be the princess of Fu, and both parties will have a good reputation, and there is no benefit.

Pei Xing immediately saw her and confessed: "Pei Du Pei Sheren was promoted by his father...... The position of Princess Fu was solicited by the Holy Father. ”

"What about me?" Xiling Yue asked bluntly, "My marriage, the Holy Lord also asked for your opinion?" ”

This question can be regarded as completely piercing his mind.

Pei Xingli did not hide it at all, and admitted calmly: "I took the initiative to mention it." The saint only said that the Guo family was high, and the eldest princess was also picky, so let me be ready. ”

Xilingyue had no choice but to lower her eyes and laugh sarcastically: "The Son of Heaven is really interesting, so he caught a marriage." The first emperor arrested the Guo family, and now he arrests the Pei family. ”

"County Lord ......" Atsui couldn't help but care when she heard this. Adan also looked worried.

Xiling Yue held back her emotions and waved her hand at the two of them: "There are some words that you can't hear, let's go out first." ”

Atsui and Adan glanced at each other, and finally took the order to retreat.

There were only two of them left in the house, Pei Xingli no longer had to hide it, and said bluntly: "I know that I am not worthy of you, I know it in Zhenhai." ”

"This is serious," Xiling Yue tightened her cloak, "If I didn't come to Chang'an, I would just be the daughter of a businessman, and you are from a prestigious family, I am not worthy of you." ”

"No," Pei Xingli brushed away the hair that was sticking to her cheeks, "The first time I saw you in Jinshan Temple, I knew that you were very special, and I was already selfish when I helped you reject Li Heng." His gaze grew eager, "My family is in a bad family, and I am a widower, ten years older than you. I didn't dare to think about it, but I've given up...... Now it is God's favor that has given me another chance. ”

"Heaven's favor?" Xiling Yue's eyes were slightly red, "Do you know that the prince has counted Zhenhai's credit on your head!" It was he who recommended you in front of the emperor, so you can be where you are today! ”

"I know." Pei Xingli was also moved, "The prince's great kindness to me, I can't repay it in this life." ”

"Then you still ...... You still ......" Xiling Yue blurted out and stopped abruptly.

"And I'm still robbing his woman?" Pei Xingli spoke it out for her.

Xiling Yue's face turned pale suddenly, and there was no trace of blood.

Pei Xingli looked at her and did not regret breaking the matter. That relationship is like a cancer, endangering Li Chengxuan and the woman in front of him. They think that as long as they don't tell the truth, everything is safe, but in fact, they are just deceiving themselves, but they can't deceive others. Sooner or later, someone will pick on this cancer, explicit and bloody. If someone with bad intentions makes a move, the situation is even worse. It's better to let him cut through the mess quickly. On the one hand, he is his benefactor, and on the other hand, he is his sweetheart, at least he understands the severity and can minimize the damage of the two.

"Whether you believe it or not," he calmly stated the facts, "on the day you were punished for kneeling, I met the prince at the right silver gate...... He told me to treat you well. ”

He told me to treat you well.

In just seven words, it gave Xiling Yue a fatal blow. She was finally forced to tear off her disguise and wept: "It's my fault!" He had already said that he would not be in contact! He's been estranged from me, and I'm going to pester him! The more Xiling Yue spoke, the more sad and self-blamed she became, and she cried on the bed, "I hurt him!" It's all my fault! ”

Li Chengxuan is so clean, how can she not know? Even in order to reassure the Son of Heaven back then, he only played with Linglong on the spot, and never had a skin-to-skin relationship. Atsui and Adan have served him for many years, but they have never been accepted into the room by him. and Qin Se, the palace treats them as a couple, and he also treats each other with courtesy.

Even if he is famous, even if he has a bad reputation, he has always adhered to the bottom line and has never married a wife or concubine at will! But now for her and her reputation, he finally gave up sticking to it!

The heartache burst like a flood, completely submerging her whole body. For the first time, Xiling Yue cried without scruples, almost suffocating, like a dying person who was extremely desperate!
