Pei Yao returned to the room with a heavy heart, and Xiangying was still waiting for her.

She stood outside the door for a while, took the tea that Yu Xu had just cooked, sent the maids away, and went in alone.

In the warm pavilion, Xiangying saw her come in, and her gaze, which had been calm, suddenly moved, as if dodging, avoiding her.

Pei Yao smiled, knowing in his heart what he was here to do today.

"The codex of the Marquis of Lingqiu was transferred to Qing Tan's hands, and she coerced the second son to take her out of the palace, although it is not a formality, but I hope you don't want to show off."

While speaking, she approached with tea, and Xiangying was about to get up, but as she had expected, she reached out and pressed it on her shoulder first, maintaining her sitting position.

Xiang Ying lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "No." ”

She poured two cups of tea, brought one to herself, and sat down opposite him, while Xiangying stared at the tea in front of her, and did not move.

Since he had tested Xiangying that day, he had no movement, and when he finally came to the door, it probably took ten percent of his courage. Pei Yao knew very well that with his temperament, in this matter, he could only poke the window paper himself.

Thinking like this, she took a sip of tea and quipped: "You used to eat my snacks, why don't you dare to drink my cup of tea now?" ”

Xiang Ying frowned.

Before coming to her today, he had made up his mind.

He recognized the fact that she had been a friend since then, so no one in this world would ever know how much he wanted to drink her cup of tea.

"Princess Yecheng still doesn't know?"

Pei Yaowei shook her head.

After a while, she added, "No one should know but you." ”

Xiangying would rather he didn't know.

"The princess likes you very much." He raised his eyes to look at her and smiled bitterly, "Fate is rare. ”

Pei Yaowei wants to say that she likes you very much, but I don't know if you are willing to take over this relationship.

"Well, fate is indeed rare." She said, "Providence has given me a second chance, and it has made me a family with Compassion and you, which is also a blessing in my misfortune." ”

But for me, it's the greatest misfortune of all kinds, he said.

"It's just that I've come to ...... like this," she said, "and I don't know what kind of cause it is, whether I've picked up her body or taken her body." But don't worry, if one day, karma changes, she can come back, and I won't forcibly occupy the magpie's nest. ”

When Xiangying heard this, he was a little anxious, and blurted out that he didn't have this mind.

He felt selfish, and he also hoped that the queen would also be selfish, and since he was back, he would never leave.

- Even if one day, they come back.

"You...... When did you come back? He asked.

"The day you come back." She said, paused, and explained: "The day when the remnants of the red stream were green. ”

Is that day......

"What the hell is going on?"

Pei Yaowei shook her head, "I don't know what is going on." After I died that year, my soul was aware and was ...... before I entered reincarnation Trapped in a fantasy. Come to think of it, it is probably because I have done too much evil in this world, and neither bliss nor hell will allow me. I thought that I was a life that could never be superborn, but I didn't expect that I would be reborn in Xiangyu in a daze. ”

"Up to now, I believe in the power of the underworld, but it's just such a mysterious thing, I have no clue in the end, and I can only live one day at a time."

Her words are still chic, but behind the weightlifting, who can really see it so clearly?

Xiangying wanted to ask her, if she was scared, if she was also worried, there was really a day when Xiangying would come back, and she had to go.

He slowly reached out and clenched the tea.

In the end, he only said, "Don't worry. ”

"I have been your escort all my life, from birth to death, from the dead to the back of the dead, all of them should be broken to pieces, for you to drive, for you to take care of."

Later, Pei Yaowei also asked him curiously, how did he recognize himself, Xiangying is just a Tao, if he has a heart, he will naturally recognize it.

Pei Yaowei didn't get a real answer, but she didn't ask any further.

Xiangyao sent Pei Qingtan back to the palace, and before the palace gate separated, the people who had traveled all the way outside the Shenyou object finally came back to their senses and asked him in a daze: "What, don't you go to me to get my uncle's codex?" ”

Xiang Yao shook his head, "The foreign minister has no will, he doesn't dare to enter the inner palace without permission, so the princess will go back first." ”

Pei Qingtan thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, then the second son of Lao will wait here for a while, and when I go back smoothly, I will send the palace people to send you the codex, so that you can know that everything is going well." ”

However, when she went, Xiang Yao was waiting for not the palace people of the Yecheng Palace, but the Lingyun Palace.

"Second son, Your Majesty has a will, and the second son of Xuan, Lingyun Palace, will see you."

Watching the little eunuch next to the emperor walking towards him from a distance, Xiang Yao had a sense of foreboding, and now that he heard this, he knew that something must have gone wrong, he frowned slightly, and asked: "Your Majesty knows that the lower officials have entered the palace?" ”

The palace people nodded, didn't say much, Xiang Yao didn't ask much, and followed him to Lingyun Hall again.

Even if he had expected it in his heart, the situation in the Lingyun Hall still caught him off guard.

"Weichen sees Your Majesty, and I have seen Concubine De Niangniang."

Concubine Yuwenrou stood beside the emperor, dressed in a swaggering and bright palace dress, which lined her aggressiveness. Xiang Yao's voice landed, and before Xiao Zhu could say anything, she smiled sarcastically and said, "Xiang Ergongzi now knows how to bow his head and bow when he sees this palace!" How did you meet the princess of Yecheng, but she dared to ignore the etiquette and law, and the private teaching of a lonely man and a widow? ”

Xiao looked up and glanced at her as if warning.

On the ground in the hall, there was a little eunuch kneeling at this time. Xiang Yao knew that this was when the palace people of the Yecheng Palace came to send him a codex, he was targeted by Concubine De's people, but the emperor knew that he was asking for the Lingqiu Marquis Codex, if he just sent the codex, as for the current situation?

It's certainly not that simple.

He said cautiously: "Concubine De Niangniang misunderstood, Weichen has dealings with Yecheng Hall today, but it is just for a scroll of codex to seek Lingqiu Hou. However, the princess's palace has a rich collection of books, and she has not found it for a while. The princess was kind, and promised to rummage for the minister herself, and agreed with the minister that she would send someone to deliver the book to the palace gate before the palace gate was locked. Weichen was terrified, the matter of asking for books had already been heard by the heavens, and he definitely did not dare to damage the reputation of the princess! ”

Concubine De snorted coldly, and was about to speak, when Xiao Chai warned her again.

Xiao said, "Come out, you get up first." ”

Xiang Yao got up as he said.

"I have ordered someone to invite Concubine Xian and Yecheng over, and I will talk about it later."

These words did not make Xiang Yao's heart relaxed, on the contrary, even these two people were invited, and it was obvious that the matter had become bigger.

He stood respectfully to the side, his eyebrows were tight, the emperor did not show his mouth, and he could only guess in his heart.

After a short time, Sun Zhiyi personally led Min Dai and Qing Tan into the hall.

After seeing the ceremony, the emperor gave Concubine Xian a seat, and then turned around and let Concubine De, who had been standing for a long time, sit down.

Yu Wenrou's face was full of grievances, and she glared at Xiang Mindai viciously, and sat down on the top spot she had left.

Xiao Zhuchao sighed lightly and beckoned, summoned her to his side, pointed to the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and asked, "This person was sent by you to deliver something to the second son?" ”

When Shicai was outside the hall, Sun Zhifang had already told her and Min Dai about the situation in the palace. Before the people of the Yecheng Palace left the harem, they were caught by Concubine De's people, and they searched out the things she had prepared for Xiangyao from their bodies.

However, when she thinks about it now, she also regrets it a little. If she just sent a codex, how could Concubine De be so arrogant? I was still confused, I forgot to thank him when I left, and when I went back, I owed it, and I shouldn't have it, but I put a note of thanks to him in the codex.

She looked at Concubine De, smiled coldly, and said indifferently: "I sent it out." What else would my uncle want to ask? ”

Xiao Chai frowned.

Pei Qingtan walked directly in front of Concubine De, saluted, and snorted: "Concubine De Niangniang is really an unpredictable prophet, I will send out a little eunuch casually, and you dare to stop and search your body casually." Thanks to my bad luck this time, I was searched by you, if I can't find anything after a search, don't you have to bear the charge of being arrogant and domineering, and no one is in your eyes? ”

Yuwen Roufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes showed poison: "Do you also know that something has been found now?" …… Hum! As she spoke, she got up abruptly and said, "Your Majesty, you have heard, and she has recognized herself!" Princess Yecheng, as your adopted daughter, is so ignorant of inspection, and she has a private relationship with a foreign man, and the concubine asks Your Majesty to punish her severely according to the palace rules and discipline, and to correct the law and discipline of the harem! ”

After finishing speaking, she glanced back at Xiang Mindai, and then said: "There is also Concubine Xian, who is not good at managing her mother's younger brother externally, and not good at teaching His Majesty's adopted daughter internally, today's matter, Concubine Xian should be the culprit!" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine ......"

Min Dai got up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Chai raising his hand.

Pei Qingtan lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt down and said: "Uncle, I have taken the charge of accepting it privately, but please be aware that before today, I didn't know the second son, and this time, this codex and note were only sent by me, and he didn't have time to accept them, let alone communicate with them." Please don't wronged the Xiang family and the virtuous concubine, all the charges, Qingtan will take it yourself! ”

Xiao Zhu's gaze moved from Xiang Yao to Qing Tan, back and forth several times, and finally made up his mind, and let out a long breath.

"Sun Zhifang,"

Sun Zhifang immediately responded.

"Prepare a pen, I want to write the purpose."

The news that the emperor gave the princess and the second son of the Xiang family to marry the princess came out of the palace, and they arrived at the prime minister's mansion that night.

After Pei Yaowei heard the news that Yu Zhi had come back from outside the front door, she directly dropped the tea bowl in her hand.

"What did you say?" She got up suddenly, grabbed Yu Zhi's hand, and widened her eyes: "Who wants to marry whom?" ”

Yu Zhi didn't expect her to react so much, she was so frightened that she was stunned for a long time, and it was easy to find her mouth: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Don't worry, it's Princess Yecheng—"

"Princess Yecheng, I promised it to the second son of our family!"
