Wei Chaoyang has followed Xiao Di for a long time, and has always been the most obedient subordinate under him - except this time.

A few days later, in the library of the East Palace, Xiao Di looked at the stack of letters that had appeared on the bookcase, and then looked at Wei Chaoyang, who was kneeling there and bowing his head to confess, for a long time, without saying a word.

"Your Highness......"

In the end, Wei Chaoyang couldn't help it, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Di carefully, and his voice was smaller than usual. Seeing that Xiao Di didn't speak, he gathered up his courage, and then continued: "Your Highness, your subordinates know that they have committed the great crime of disobedience, but these letters ......"

"Your Highness, these are all searched by his subordinates in King Qin's study, and each letter is from the Pei family's daughter, you can't turn a blind eye!"

Xiao Di picked up a letter, opened it slowly and methodically, and looked at it, and suddenly sneered.

But isn't it, he said in his heart, just looking at the handwriting, it is indeed the same as her handwriting.

Wei Chaoyang was frightened by his laughter, and then he asked slowly: "You just brought these 'evidence' back to Lone, aren't you afraid of startling the snake?" ”

Wei Chaoyang's body was cold-he could hear it, His Highness was angry. Even at this moment, he didn't believe that King Qin and Pei's daughter had a secret communication.

But how could he not believe it? Could it be that Se Lingzhi is really dizzy?

Unlike Xiao Di, Wei Chaoyang has gone through such two incidents, and at this time he has already determined that the relationship between Xiao Zhu and Pei Yao is not clear, coupled with his master's blind obsession, he can be said to be extremely worried at the moment, for fear that he will be less vigilant, and he will watch His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eat calculations.

Thinking of this, he became anxious, raised his head and said, "Your Highness, they have already done their part, you really can't be more tolerant!" If the East Palace really welcomes such a crown princess, it will take a long time, wouldn't it lead a wolf into the house! ”

As soon as his words fell, Xiao Di exhaled a long breath, and then slapped it on the case, knocking down the stack of letters.

He got up and came to Yu Chaoyang, his face was extremely serious, and the slightest smile was gone, "From the time you infiltrated the Qin Palace, to the time you found these letters, to the time you slipped out unscathed, how many hours did you share?" ”

"You searched for these letters in King Qin's study? Xiao Zhu was so negligent, the study was heavy, and he didn't guard the left and right? Or do you boast of being excellent in kung fu, but if the guards in his mansion are all dry, a prince's mansion can let you come and go as you like, as if you are in a no-man's land? ”

His successive questions were like basins of cold water, and he covered his head towards Wei Chaoyang, which made him sober up a lot.

"Your Highness......"

In the face of Xiao Di's questioning, he wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't say anything. In fact, he is not a stupid person, he had thought before that this trip to the Qin Wangfu seemed to be too smooth. Behind this smoothness, it may be intentional by some people, inviting you into the urn, and deliberately opening the door of convenience for him is unknown, but after all, this is just a possibility.

In contrast, another possible consequence is something that the entire East Palace cannot withstand.

After thinking about it, he still said: "Your Highness, no matter what, this matter cannot be delayed, since there is wind and shadow, it must be investigated in detail!" ”

"I said it." Xiao Di said coldly: "Wait for Xiao to return." ”

Hearing this, Wei Chaoyang lowered his head and frowned.

His eyes were slightly straight, and he took a risk, and said slowly: "Your Highness, please allow your subordinates to say more, the prince and the daughter of the Pei family have been friends since childhood, and the newly married princess is the cousin of the king of Qin, in this matter, you should not rely on him." ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xiao Di immediately calmed down and shouted in warning: "Wei Chaoyang." ”

Yu Chaoyang leaned over and kowtowed.

"Your Highness is clear, your subordinates are not questioning the prince's heart towards His Highness - it is precisely because his subordinates know that the prince is a person who values love and righteousness, and His Royal Highness has always regarded the prince as his humerus, so this matter should not involve the prince." He looked up at Xiao Di: "Otherwise, once the truth of the matter is not good-looking, the son of the world will be the first to fall into a dilemma!" ”

Xiao Di's expression changed slightly.

Wei Chaoyang said so much, that is, the last sentence, for him, there is some truth.

"You go down first." After a moment, he said, "Let me think." ”

As soon as Wei Chaoyang left, the inner hall of the East Palace was like a deep valley and a deep cave, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

Xiao Di put the letters together, opened them one by one, and then threw them all into the charcoal basin and burned them all.

He was scared, he was uneasy, he was terrified.

He still didn't believe that Pei Yaoyan would really be so unbearable and so painstakingly calculating himself, but on the other hand, his confidence was also a little shaken.

Pei Yaowei silently experienced all this, not only wanted to blame Xiao Di for her distrust of her little bits, but she thought of herself at that time, and felt that she was not qualified to blame him - after all, at that time, after hearing that the princelings suppressed her brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and even had dealings with her sister-in-law, she could not be said to have no doubts about Xiao Di.

I don't know if this is a matter of course for the three of them to become tigers, or the two of them when they were teenagers, after all, they lacked a little stable trust in each other, so they gave the young people a chance to take advantage of.

After this incident, until Wu Yao's twentieth year of Shangyuan, Wei Chaoyang was still ordered to go to the Qiwang Mansion every day, but the Huaiguo Mansion never sent a letter.

At the Shangyuan family banquet, Xiao Di drank some wine, and when he came out to breathe, he was still asking Wei Chaoyang: "Have you been to Qiwang's Mansion today?" ”

Wei Chaoyang frowned, with both worry and resentment towards Pei Yaowei in his eyes, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I've been there, but there's still nothing." ”

Xiao Di's eyes closed slightly as he looked at the moonlight, and he didn't know what emotions were covered.

"Your Highness! Just listen to the next sentence of your subordinates, wake up! Wei Chaoyang said: "Do you see that since the maid dropped the letter, Pei Jiake also sent a letter over?" According to her subordinates, this is the girl of the Pei family who knows that the play can't go on, and she is embarrassed to humiliate herself again! ”

"Enough!" Xiao Di scolded and cut off his words.

The wavering in his heart became heavier and heavier.

He thought that after this year, even if he didn't comply with the rules, he would have to go to Pei's Mansion to meet her and ask her about these things in person.

However, to his surprise, before he could muster up the courage to see Pei Yaoyan, she sent another letter.

Wei Chaoyang took a letter from the Qi Wangfu and handed it to him, and after Xiao Di read it, his heart was half cold.

Seeing that his face was wrong, Wei Chaoyang hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Di slowly sat back in his chair and shook his head slowly.

The letter said that on the first day of February, she would go to Zhaoye Temple to make incense, and at that time, invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to the temple to see him, and some things must be explained clearly.

What do you need to explain?

Between the two of them, what needs to be explained?

These simple words are like a shocking slap in his heart, and he has already paid for this season's love according to the contract, and they have all been convicted of jokes.

Pei Yaowei herself, who was watching all this, really had nowhere to sue right now.

How can this be?

In her memory, the year-end and New Year holidays were clearly written by herself, but they were all like mud cows entering the sea, and she didn't get any response. As for the letter in front of him asking him to meet in Zhaoye Temple, it is even more real nonsense!

At this point, she has actually guessed what the problem is.

Her heart, like Xiao Di, was half cold.

In the blink of an eye, on the first day of the second month, Xiao Di went to the appointment according to the letter, and as soon as he entered the temple to inquire, he asked where the person from the Huaiguo Mansion was.

He walked in the direction that the master had pointed out, and his steps were very slow.

As soon as he stopped at the ground, Pei Yao looked at it through his gaze, and suddenly he was stunned-

How could this courtyard be...... Sound familiar? It's like ......

That's right!

It was the deserted garden where he was on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve fire, when he met him!

Back at the beginning of the twentieth year of Wuyao, the deserted garden was not deserted, among which the pines and cypresses were verdant, and there was even some vitality.

Xiao Di entered the garden, and his steps became more and more slow. In the meditation room, there are two figures vaguely visible, one sitting and one standing, most of them are girls and maids.

In front of the door, he was just about to knock, but suddenly he heard a voice from the house—

“…… Girl, you really are, why do you have to come here in person? It's all here, what else is there to explain? Do you think that after the prince knows the truth, he will definitely not be angry? What can you do if he hurts? ”

Let's not talk about Xiao Di's mood for the time being, when Pei Yao heard this voice at first glance, the rest of his heart was also cold.

It's the sound of the wind.

Oh, sure enough, the maid who had to rely on her own care before and after death, the girl who treated herself like a relative, carried herself back then, unexpectedly, unexpectedly......

Ten years later, such a betrayal made her not know how to react.

At this time, another voice sounded in the room: "Are you embarrassed to say, who is to blame for this?" If you hadn't accidentally dropped Ah Zhu's reply to me, would my good plan be in vain? ”

Pei Yaowei couldn't recognize his voice, but the moment Xiao Di heard this voice, his heart was shocked, and he took two steps back.

He thought: What is she talking about? Why did she call Xiao Cha so intimately? Her scheme...... What is she planning?

Pei Yaowei thought: Xiao Zhu is really capable, everything is so detailed, not only is the handwriting imitated enough, but even the voice and color can be found to be the same as himself?

Thinking like this, she suddenly became a little curious, I don't know what the face of the person pretending to be herself looks like? Will it be very similar to yourself? Or is it more simple – easy to look at?

At that end, Zhifeng began to admit his mistake aggrievedly, saying that he was negligent, and he shouldn't have walked that road with the people around the prince that day.

"Alas, it's useless to talk about this now, I just hope that this whole autumn Hongyan will pass the book, and the prince will not write and play with me." Pei Yaowei in the room said: "As long as he can have a little sincerity towards me, I am sure that I can still perform this scene......"

Xiao Di didn't even enter the door, held his breath, turned around and left.

Pei Yaowei was shocked by the hurt and hatred in his heart.

He returned to the East Palace, sat under the lamp and stayed awake all night, and the next day he didn't even go to the morning court, and directly reported his illness.

At dusk, he left the East Palace and came to the outside of Chongtian Palace.
