"I want you to live comfortably and happily, and you don't have to worry about these flies and dogs in the world, and I ......"

She sighed and said helplessly, "I just live in this fly camp dog." ”

Qingtan was slightly stunned: "Auntie......"

Pei Yao took her hand and continued, "You were brought up by me, I know your temper too well." Once you know what I've been through, once you've come to me, you're going to have to be with me, day by day...... Qingtan, I want you to be the chrysanthemum of the frost, not the withered lotus. Do you understand? ”

Qing Tan opened his mouth, nodded at first, came back to his senses, and shook his head firmly.

"But Auntie, I've grown up." She got up and sat on her feet, tilted her head and lay on Pei Yao's knee, and said softly, "Shouldn't you ask me what I want to do?" ”

Pei Yaowei was stunned.

…… Yes, this kid is now seventeen years old, and he has grown up.

She thought that when she was seventeen years old - Wu Yao was twenty-one years old - put herself in her shoes, at that time, how could she want her father and brother to arrange her life according to their expectations?

“…… So what does Qingtan want to do? After a while, she stroked Qingtan's hair and asked sincerely.

Qing Tan was silent for a moment.

Then, she looked up at Pei Yaowei with a determined light in her eyes.

"I want to be like you, to be an umbrella and shelter the people around me." She said, "Auntie, you have protected me since I was a child, and now I want to protect you too." ”

I don't know how long it took, Pei Yao Fang recovered from his shock.

"Good boy......" she said movingly: "My Qingtan...... It's really grown up......"

"Will you let me follow you? I really ......" remembered the reason for her troubled escape, and then looked at the lost and regained relatives in front of her, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and in addition to joy, she was also very afraid, afraid that everything in front of her was just a dream of her own burning confusion.

Tightly wrapped around her calves, she said word by word, "Auntie, I don't want to be separated from you again." ”

As soon as she mentioned this, Pei Yaowei first remembered something else.

"Speaking of this......" she anxiously asked Qing Tan, "Why did you come out of here?" ”

Qing Tan hesitated slightly, and then he escaped through the secret passage of the Huaiguo Mansion, was accidentally rescued by Xiangyao, and told her about bringing him back to the Xiangfu.

Hearing the end, Pei Yaowei looked at her and asked, "Finished?" ”

Qing Tan knew what she was waiting for, but she still nodded.

Pei Yao smiled and said, "Okay, tired of staying in the palace?" Dare to think about running out? She asked, "Why, you don't care about the lives of Su Xue and Jia Ran?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Qing Tan hurriedly explained, saying that he had made enough arrangements before leaving, and even begged his mother, the Queen Mother, to ask her to help protect everyone in the Yecheng Palace if she had any chances.

Pei Yao frowned: "Did you tell the Queen Mother about this?" ”

"No, no!" Qing Tan shook his head again and again: "How dare I!" It's just that when I went to say goodbye to Shou Palace before leaving the palace, there was a point between the words.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have a kind heart, and once something happens, she will not sit idly by when she reads my request. ”

Pei Yao sighed helplessly, waited for a long time, and saw that she still didn't take the initiative to explain, so she asked, "What's the matter, you still have to wait for me to ask, right?" ”

Qingtan lowered her head, her eyebrows and eyes were full of embarrassment, and then she asked: "Okay, little aunt, I am tired to ask you a question - why did you want to escape?" ”

"Is Xiao Chai bad for you?"

Qingtan shook his head.

She looked at Pei Yaowei and said in her heart: It's him who treats you badly.

- Not only him, but also ......

"Auntie," she said with a deep sigh of relief, "you ...... back then"

"Yan Ping's four years of dystocia and collapse, you ...... in your heart"

Qing Tan was still pondering the words over and over again, but when he heard this, most of Pei Yao's doubts had dispersed.

"Who told you that?" She looked at Qingtan calmly and asked, "Chenghui Palace?" ”

Qing Tan's heart jumped suddenly, and after a while, he said, "It's Cui Xuan." ”

She said: "Before she died, she handed me a note saying that you ...... said that the emperor was the same ......"

Those words, no matter how long she thought about it, it would be difficult for her to say them smoothly.

Pei Yaowei said for her: "Said that Xiao Zhu and Wen Lian killed me together?" ”

"Auntie!" Qingtan Huoran got up, didn't care about being dizzy, and asked with red eyes, "Is this true?" ”

Pei Yao didn't speak.

In an instant, Qingtan was like falling into an ice cellar.

How...... There are so many people in this world, how can it be those two people......

Pei Yao pulled her to sit down and asked, "So you escaped, where do you want to go?"

Want to go to Beilin to find your cousin, find out the facts, and avenge me? ”

The roots of Qingtan's teeth trembled, and it took a long time before he eased his breath and was able to speak a sentence smoothly.

"Auntie," she asked, "don't you want revenge?" ”

Pei Yao was silent for a long time, and finally had no intention of answering. She inadvertently tilted her head, and when she saw Qing Tan frowning on her forehead, her heart fluttered, "What's wrong with you?" She hurriedly asked, "By the way...... You were still faint when you were in Lingshuang Pavilion, what happened? She probed her forehead: "Why is it so hot?!" ”

Pei Yao scolded herself for being confused, but Qingtan was relieved: "Don't worry, I don't have a big deal, it's just that I have been restless for the past two days, and because of my leg injury, the fever has not faded for a long time......"

Speaking of this, she remembered what happened in the Lingshuang Pavilion of Shicai, and gradually came back to her senses.

"That guy just now...... The one you called him to be Bu Fei? ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, explained the origin of Bu Fei to her in three or two sentences, and said with a clear bow: "Originally, the second son of Xiang came to give me medicine today, my brain was dizzy, and I fell asleep after drinking it for a while, and when I woke up again, it was like that...... I wonder if he thought it was bad for me, so he tried to 'rescue' me? ”

Pei Yaowei also guessed this in her heart.

"Alright," she said, pulling her to the inner room with a worried face, "it's all this hour, you can give me a good night's sleep first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Qingtan didn't refute her meaning, and after a simple wash, she stuffed it into the bed. Pei Yaowei was about to get up, but she grabbed her hand.

"Auntie......"

Qing Tanqiang opened his eyes and looked at her bably, without saying anything, he was already extremely pitiful.

"Obedient, go to sleep." Pei Yaowei smiled lightly, wiped her forehead hair, and reassured her: "You are awake, I am still there." ”

Qing Tan took a deep breath, bowed her head, and reluctantly let go of her hand.

In the middle of the moon, Pei Yaowei was not sleepy.

She gently pushed open the door, and when she looked up, she saw a person sitting under the porch.

The little girl looked back at herself wampedly.

"It's rare to see you like this," Pei Yaowei smiled faintly, walked over, and sat next to Qingchen, "It's a pity, if this is in the mansion, I should call Yun'er to come over and enjoy this wonder together!" ”

"Niangniang...... Qingchen cautiously tested for a long time, and it was clear that there were only two of them, but he still asked her quietly: "You...... Are you really that mother? ”

"Hmm." Pei Yaowei looked at the moon above her head and nodded calmly: "I really am." ”

"That'...... Does the prince know? ”

She smiled faintly and glanced at her, "Do you want him to know, or do you not know?" ”

"!" Qingchen suddenly became anxious, got up, looked down at her and said, "You must tell him!" ”

"Why do you have to tell him?" Pei Yao raised her eyebrows, deliberately teasing her: "You grew up beside him since you were a child, don't you know those grievances between him and me?"

Tell him...... Do you wish I had died? ”

"No, no, no! You are mistaken! Qingchen sat down again, and waved his hand again and again to confess to the master: "Your Highness doesn't hate you at all!" ”

"He likes you to death!"

Pei Yao burst out laughing.

Qingchen only thought that she didn't believe it, and became more and more anxious: "It's true!" The portrait of the crown princess you chose back then, His Royal Highness has always been with you, and it is tightly hidden! Never let anyone else see it! ”

Pei Yao sighed, and said in her heart: Then you still see it.

Qingchen said again: "That year, I accidentally turned out that painting, I couldn't hold back my curiosity, opened it and took a look, and then His Highness put the painting away...... You didn't see what he looked like at that time, that look in his eyes...... I'll tell you the truth, it's only since that I fell in love with reading scripts! ”

Her small mouth kept talking, and Pei Yaowei listened to it, and her mood became much warmer.

“…… So don't be afraid, mother! If Your Highness knew your true identity, he would die of joy! ”

Pei Yaowei smiled lowly, thought for a while, and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Me?"

"Aren't you afraid of me?" She asked, "Or have you read too many scripts, and even this resurrection is not uncommon in your place?" ”

"Rare! How is it not rare! Qingchen's eyes flashed with light, and he smiled: "-Rare things are expensive!" You are the most noble person in the world! ”

Pei Yaowei was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and nodded her forehead with a smile.

The appearance of Bu Fei disrupted the sand table out of thin air. Pei Yaowei originally planned to go to Xiyuan early the next morning to see Xiangyao, but she didn't expect that before the breakfast was finished, the maid came to spread the word - His Royal Highness the King of Chu had arrived.

Last night, Bu Fei had just walked on the front foot, and on the back foot, the Xiangfu had entered the assassin's matter, and it was reported to Xiao Di by the secret guard of the Chu Palace. After staying up all night, as soon as the morning dawned, he couldn't sit still anymore, and went directly to the door to pick up people back.

When Pei Yao arrived in the front hall, Xiang Yao was already there. She thought that the purpose of her coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion had not been completed, and she didn't want to go back with Xiao Di, but when she thought of Qingtan, she felt that she had to bring her back to the Chu Palace, so that she could feel at ease.

So, contrary to Xiao Di's expectations, Pei Yaowei thought for a while, and then simply agreed to return home.

However, she also proposed that before leaving, she still had a few words to say to her second brother.

Xiao Di naturally won't stop it.

Xiang Yao sent her back to the room to pack her things, on the way, the people followed from a distance away, and before Pei Yao could speak, he said first: "Niangniang's 'second brother', Xiang Yao dare not be." In the future, please don't be so polite. ”
