"His business, I am most sorry for you."

After a long time, Xiao Di said.

Pei Gong was on the way to conquer Nanyi's triumphant class, and was stabbed by Xiao Xiaoxing and killed by a quenched feather arrow. Although Pei Yaowei was angry at the beginning when she repented of her marriage for the East Palace, she vomited blood and fell ill, and seriously injured her vitality, which angered Xiao Di for many years, she also understood that her real enemy, in the final analysis, was the master behind the assassin who had never been found back then.

As for Pei Changge's death, it was all due to Pan Jie's order and his fatigue in battle. In the past, she regarded Pan Jie as Xiao Di's party, but now she already knows his helplessness in this, so naturally she will not attribute this matter to him.

Only Pei Yaoge -

Only his death is really related to Xiao Di.

Speaking of this, her excitement gradually calmed down, her eyes lowered, and she didn't speak for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Di gave her enough time to think, then gently held her hand, and said slowly: "For a long time, we have never talked about Gu Duwu. Back then, I tried my best to protect the Gu family, and I knew what Gu Duwu did to your second brother, but I still didn't let him pay for his life...... Pei Yaowei, I know that it is impossible for you to have no resentment against me in your heart. ”

Pei Yaowei took a deep breath and nodded one after another.

"I also know that you protected Gu Duwu back then, but in fact, you still want to protect the Gu family, for fear that you will die and hurt the innocent." She said, "But sometimes think about it, in this matter, I ...... you It's true that I can't do it at all. ”

"My brother's bones...... I haven't seen it. But Gu Duwu was dying, but he was restored to the title by the first emperor. ”

Thinking of this, I have to say that now that she has more understanding of the first emperor, she looks back and examines the various actions of the first emperor in his later years, and many things have become clearer.

After a pause, she continued: "Actually, I understand now, it's better to say that the first emperor is not to restore his title...... He wants to leave this title to Gu Zixian, so that he can leave you with more bargaining chips to save your life. ”

Xiao Di did not speak.

She lowered her head to his shoulder and let out a long sigh, "But I'm still so unwilling......"

Unwilling that good people don't live long, the scourge will last for thousands of years, and everyone knows that it is a scourge that has done evil, but for all kinds of unspeakable reasons, they have to live with that scourge.

"I know that saying this doesn't make you feel better, and I'm not trying to argue anything for him, but ......" he told her, "Gu Duwu's life before his death was not easy. He felt guilty in his heart - not only for me, but also for Pei Yaoge himself. He ......"

He thought about it for a while before he continued: "Yao, your second brother is a very eye-catching character, and there are few people who have seen him who will not appreciate him. ”

And Gu Duwu, he designed to kill the juniors he admired for the road in front of his home, and in the end, he was harmed, but he didn't get what he wanted, I have to say, it was also a chicken and egg fight.

After Pei Yaowei listened to his words, there was no wave in his heart.

Why didn't she know that Gu Duwu felt remorseful in her heart? From the moment Zhao Ju's love letter was handed over to her, she knew that Gu Duwu regretted it. But if he doesn't regret it, what does it have to do with her?

Without the ties of Pei Yaoge's life, she and Gu Duwu are two people who have nothing to do with each other. And once she had this life, she didn't need to know anything else.

After pondering for a while, she straightened her back, but said to him: "Before Gu Duwu died, he sent a letter of love to my cousin Zhao Ju, I know that he is remorseful, and I only knew at that time that what killed my second brother back then was done by him, not by you. ”

In Xiao Di's surprised eyes, she was suddenly relieved.

She thought, "Well, who said that husband and wife must share the same enemy?" Facing Xiao Di, she didn't want him to hate Gu Duwu with her. She only knew that there was too much hatred and hurt in his heart, and if he could have one less, he would have one less, which was good.

"This thing...... I'm probably not going to be able to get through it for the rest of my life. But Xiao Di, you don't have to hate him with me. She held his face and said, "You can forgive him in your heart—as long as you don't tell me." ”

Xiao Di smiled bitterly, "When you say this, my heart hurts." ”

Pei Yaowei shook her head, "I'm distressed." ”

- I feel sorry that you have been betrayed and abandoned by the people closest to you, but you have to protect more people, you can't say a word, you can't defend a word;

I feel sorry that you are misunderstood by the world and by me;

I also feel sorry for the years when you misunderstood me.

She leaned over and kissed his red eyes, trying to contain her tears.

She said: "I feel sorry for the 'first emperor' you keep saying, and I don't call you 'father emperor' again." ”

Xiao Di was stunned, came back to his senses, and silently hugged her tightly.

The two of them are like two small animals with their own pain, leaning on each other, licking each other's wounds, only hoping that the pain in their bodies can pass sooner.

stayed in the other garden for three or five days, and when the two of them packed up their mood and set off for the city, they didn't want to meet an unexpected guest as soon as they arrived in the house.

"Jiyang County Prince?"

In front of the palace, the instant rain was waiting outside, and as soon as the two got out of the car, she stepped forward to report, saying that it was the early dynasty that was dispersed, and the prince of Jiyang County suddenly came to the door and asked to see the prince and the princess.

"The Prime Minister didn't send a post before, and the slave maid looked at the meaning of the Duke of Jiyang County, probably because there was something urgent. I'm about to send someone to deliver a letter from the other garden, but I don't want you two to come back in time. ”

As the two walked towards the house, Xiao Di asked, "Who is accompanying you at this time?" Yun'er? ”

Instant Yu's face was stunned, and he said, "The little prince hasn't smoothed down these days, and he hides in the room and doesn't like to see people." ”

When she mentioned this, Xiao Di only remembered Xiao Yun's bare head.

"By the way, Your Highness," when he was about to arrive at the main hall, Instant Yu mentioned it again, "There is also a man with the Duke of Jiyang County, the slave maid has not seen it in the past, looking at the age, it is almost the same age as the county duke, looking at his clothes, most of them also have some identity, but the Duke of Jiyang County did not mention it, and the slave maid did not dare to be abrupt." ”

Xiang Tao also brought someone with him?

Xiao Di and Pei Yao glanced at each other, and each became vigilant.

When they met in the hall, they knew that the person Xiang Tao brought was actually Mrs. Huan's nominal brother and Xiang's retainer, Huan Bushi.

is also the nominal uncle of Xiangyu.

Pei Yaowei was stunned for a while, then hurriedly reacted, got up and blessed Huan Bushi, and called 'uncle'.

God knows, this uncle's voice really made her very uncomfortable.

"My father and uncle came to the door today, I don't know what is the matter?" She said tentatively: "By the way, since my uncle has returned to Beijing, then my mother must have returned with you, right?" That is to say...... My grandmother's illness has also been cured? ”

Huan Bushi stood beside Xiang Tao, with a heroic aura, which was quite pleasing to the eye, but what he said next was not so worry-free.

He approached and saluted, and replied, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the princess." My mother has been sick for a long time, and it is really not good, and my wife can't rest assured, I'm afraid that she won't be able to come back for a while. ”

Can't come back?

As soon as Pei Yao heard this, her heart was full of suspicions. After careful calculation, it has been a year since Mrs. Huan left. Don't say that she is not the daughter of the Huan family, she is really biological, how can there be a lady in the family who is upright and has no hurry to come back after staying at her parents' house for a year and a half? Even if she is willing, the Huan family is still a retainer of the Xiang family, and she should always consider whether there is a master mother in the lord's mansion to preside over the feed, right?

Thinking like this, she didn't hide the doubts on her face at all, but she didn't want to, Huan Bushi's more suspicious words were still to come.

"This time I am going back to Beijing next time, and I have the courage to come here because of one thing, I want to confess to His Royal Highness and the princess." As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt directly on the ground.

"Lord Huan doesn't have to be so polite." Xiao Di said lightly: "They are all close relatives, if you have anything to say, just get up and say it." ”

Huan Bushi knelt there and didn't move.

Pei Yaowei looked at him silently for a moment, thinking, Huan Bushi, or the Huan family, what can he accuse himself of?

Thinking about it, she faintly had an eyebrow in her heart, and before Huan Bushi spoke again, she asked: "Uncle is here...... What's wrong with mirrors? ”

Huan Bushi was stunned for a moment, and even with Xiang Tao, he stopped looking at her for a moment.

"Don't dare to hide it from the princess, it was the mirror girl you sent to serve the lady that had an accident." Huan Bushi showed regret, "Last month, the girl had an illness and unfortunately died violently. ”

Mirror shadow, sudden death.

Pei Yao was stunned and thought, this is really unfortunate.

At this time, Xiang Tao opened his mouth and said that Huan Bushi had just come from his hometown last night, and when he heard about it, he didn't dare to delay, and he didn't have time to post a message.

"Alas, that girl, speaking of which, was specially sent to me by my eldest sister before she got married, I also looked at this before, thinking that the eldest sister is used to the person, naturally she is more diligent and clever than the girl next to me, such a person is sent to my mother to take care of, I can also be more assured, who wants to ......" Pei Yao shook her head with a sad expression, "How did this give birth to such a catastrophe......

Xiang Tao persuaded a few words of mourning from the side, and Huan Bushi also repeatedly asked for guilt, saying that the mirror shadow arrived at Huan's house, and it was polite to advance and retreat, and he served Mrs. Qi with all his heart, and he didn't want to leave like this.

"Madame was also very sad. Speaking of which, it is because the Huan family has no way to take care of it, and it is because he came to the dust capital here to ask for sin. He said: "I hope that Your Highness and the princess will be guilty!" ”

"Lord Huan, get up." Xiao Di sighed and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, how can it be reversed by manpower. That girl is not blessed, and adults don't need to blame themselves too much. ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze and looked at Xiang Tao.

"It's just the county prince, this girl, said that she was by her side, but after all, she still came out of the palace, and the virtuous concubine was ......."

Xiang Tao didn't pretend to be stupid, and responded directly, "Your Highness, rest assured, Concubine Xian Niangniang, the old minister will explain it in person." ”

Xiao Di slowly bowed his head, "In this way, there will be Lao Jungong." ”
