Chapter 376: You Know Why I Help the Prince

God knows, if she rides in the same carriage with Pei Xingli at this moment, she will be ashamed to death.

Fortunately, Pei Xingli didn't force it, and nodded with a smile: "It's okay to go." ”

The two walked out of the Danfeng Gate on foot and walked along the city wall of the Taiji Palace in the direction of the inner city. The coachman followed the two men.

Xiling Yue first asked worriedly: "General Pei, is it really an accident that the plaque fell just now?" ”

"It should be." Pei Xingli said truthfully, "I see that there are traces of ant moths on the beam, and the hanging nail has been hollowed out. ”

Xilingyue was completely relieved.

Feeling that there was nothing to say between the two, she cleared her throat and tried her best to find a topic: "I ......"

"I ......" Pei Xingli also spoke at the same time.

Xiling Yue hurriedly said: "You say it first, you say it first." ”

Pei Xingli didn't give in and said, "I never thought that you would become the daughter of the eldest princess. ”

Xilingyue also sighed: "Yes, even I didn't expect it." ”

Pei Xingli couldn't help but sigh: "I still remember that on the night of the hairpin banquet, you went to rob the prison, and you mentioned your life experience to me, and you were quite lonely in your words." Now...... I want to congratulate you. ”

Xi Lingyue barely pulled out a smile: "If it weren't for General Pei's help several times, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found my biological parents." ”

Pei Xingli immediately smiled, that smile was extremely handsome, which made his peach blossom eyes even more dazzling: "Then you were ...... with King Fu at that time"

He didn't say anything, but Xilingyue was stunned, understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "That's all fake, how can I and the prince be!" ”

Pei Xingli asked, "You and the prince...... Did you know each other on the night of the prison robbery? ”

There is no need to hide it from him now, Xilingyue admitted calmly: "Yes, I was just right that night."

Fortunately, when we met Wang Ye and Brother Zhongting, we saw through each other's identities and tied each other on a rope from then on. ”

"I see." Pei Xingli's face was relieved, and his smile deepened.

Xilingyue was reminded of the past by him, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, so he could only sigh again: "The first time I left Xichuan in my life, I was involved in a big case and met a prince and a county duke, these two are still my uncle and brother!" General Pei, you say, is it a coincidence? ”

"It's a coincidence." Pei Xingli raised his eyes and looked at the pagoda not far away, "It's also the favor of God." ”

"Yes, the heavens have favored me."

"No, it's for me." Pei Xingli stopped and turned to look at her.

Xi Lingyue originally seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but seeing the other party's undisguised eager gaze, she immediately lowered her head in a panic, looked around at the shops on the side of the street, and wanted to go in and have a look, diverting the topic.

However, Pei Xingli didn't give her this opportunity, and asked, "Do you know why I secretly helped the prince at that time?" ”

Xiling Yue really felt very curious: "Is it the prince who knows the righteousness of you?" ”

"No," Pei Xingli felt that she was really innocent, and smiled again, "I have a rough life, and I am under the fence, and righteousness is too far away from me." ”

"That's to make you a lot of profits?"

"It's heavier than profit." Pei Xingli showed a proud face, "My Pei family is the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang after the son of Feizi, since the rise of the Qin and Han dynasties, through the Wei and Jin dynasties and prosperity, and gradually divided into five major clans: East Pei, West Pei, Zhong Pei, Wu Pei from the south, Xima Pei, each clan is talented. Born into such a clan, do you know how proud I am and how much responsibility I have? ”

Hedong Wenxi Pei's is famous all over the world, who doesn't know? Xiling Yue couldn't help but nodded: "I understand." In my dynasty alone, there are dozens of prime ministers and festival envoys. ”

"Well," Pei Xingli's face gradually became gloomy, "My ancestor belonged to the Pei family of the Eastern Family, and my grandfather also had a brilliant lintel when he was alive, so he could set a wife for his father to marry a clansman." ”

Pei Xingli's mother is Li Qi's half-sister, and she is also a descendant of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an. Xilingyue knew that he was going to tell the family history, so she had to listen silently.

"When my father and mother got married, my grandfather was still alive, and the two were also in love. But when my mother gave birth to me, she had a difficult birth, which caused her body to be depleted, and she never came out again. When Pei Xingli said this, his eyebrows were already frowning, "It didn't take long for my grandfather to die of illness, and my father returned to his hometown to worry about it, and he returned to the court three years later. Later, he met a fortune teller, saying that it was because his family was restless, and his wife and son Kefu had a bad career, but his father actually believed it, and since then he has been treating my mother harshly, beating and punishing me. ”

"General Pei......" Xiling Yue saw that his face was heavy and his tone was resentful, so he knew that he still couldn't let go, and wanted to say comfort, but he didn't know how to speak.

Pei Xingli raised his eyes to look at the pagoda and sighed faintly: "When my mother died of illness, I was fifteen years old. My father immediately married the daughter of the eunuch, and from then on he ignored me, but my uncle learned of my current situation and took me to his house. ”

In this way, Li Qi ...... Your uncle still cares about family affection. Xiling Yue took the opportunity to answer.

Pei Xingli sneered: "If he cares about family affection, why did the original partner fall into the water and die?" ”

"Then he ...... you"

"I will also be punished, but," Pei Xingli said fairly, "at least he sent someone to teach me to read and practice martial arts, and I am very grateful for that." ”

Xilingyue understood the meaning of his words: "He taught you to read and practice martial arts, did he want to use you?" ”

"He wants to find a companion for Li Heng to read, or find a guard." Pei Xingli said this, once again revealing a sarcastic smile.

Xi Lingyue remembered his embarrassing position in the Jiedu Embassy, as well as Li Heng's attitude towards him, and could also feel the humiliation he had suffered.

"Originally, this was nothing, I sent someone under the fence, and I should suffer some grievances, but he shouldn't even calculate my marriage." Pei Xingli's face gradually became gloomy, and a cold color flashed in Peach Blossom's eyes, "Do you know that he once forced me to marry a wife?" ”

"You're married?" Xiling Yue was surprised, she always thought that Pei Xingli was alone.

"It's a marriage that once were." Pei Xingli emphatically emphasized, "My uncle set a family affair for me, the woman once suffered from soft foot plague, her left leg atrophied, and she was not good at walking. Because she has been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, she has sores all over her back, she is cold and suspicious, and she often beats and scolds her subordinates. ”

"Your uncle...... Why did he ......" Xiling Yue wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask. If Li Qi has the intention of taking advantage of Pei Xing, shouldn't he be entrapped? Why do you want to tell him such a family business?

"Because she's the daughter of Texas Thorn." Pei Xingli sneered again, "Uncle wanted to buy people's hearts, so he coerced me with kindness and forced me to marry her." Later, she died of illness, and my uncle did not allow me to continue the strings, for fear that the Texas assassin would be displeased. ”

When Xiling Yue heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry: "This is too much! ”
