Pei Yao came to the Jiyang County Mansion in a hurry, but she never thought that when Xiang Tao came back from Yuze Palace that night, she brought a piece of mixed news.

——The errand of leading the troops to quell the rebellion in the south still fell on the head of Xiangjun Gong.

As far as she is concerned, Xiang Tao is not in the mansion, which is convenient for her to secretly verify, but on the other hand, Xiao Di is probably going to be unable to settle down.

"What does Xiao Chai think?"

That night, the family finished a detached dinner in one place, and on the way back to the room, the two talked about it, Pei Yaowei couldn't help asking: "Why don't you let Qin Libei and the others don't use it, but they just work Xiangjun Gong?" ”

Xiang Ying smiled faintly and said, "Have you heard His Royal Highness the King of Chu talk about it?" Since the Pan Rebellion in front of him, General Qin has become a close minister of the Son of Heaven. ”

Pei Yao said: "Since this is the case, then he should rely on his ministers even more for this matter of going out to quell the rebellion!" ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Ying couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"It is precisely because General Qin is relied on by the Son of Heaven that he can't let it go." He said, "You don't know yet, the emperor has been ...... recently." I was uneasy, I lived in Yuze Palace for these days, and I don't know how many times I lost my temper, and the courtiers were suspected of being disloyal, and they were even more than one day at a time.

A few days ago, the emperor had a dream in the middle of the night, and when he woke up, he almost didn't let people send a message to recall General Qin back to Beijing. There is an incident in the southern realm, and at this juncture, he can only send people who are not at ease to be dispatched. ”

Pei Yaowei understood.

She had heard early in the morning that Xiao Zhu had been sick and uneasy recently, but she didn't expect that he was so uneasy.

"That's it, Qin Libei...... He really dares to rely on it, and it can be seen that there are only a few people left in the Pei family who are looking at me. She casually sarcastic, and then became puzzled: "But it's just a matter of putting the people who are at ease by your side to try to feel at ease, but if you send people who are not at ease to the south to quell the chaos, isn't he afraid that the chaos will be even bigger?" ”

Xiang Ying smiled.

"Isn't that still me?" He said.

Pei Yao was stunned, turned her head to look at him, met his calm gaze, and in a moment, she came to her senses.

"Long Beginning ......"

Xiangying said: "The emperor ordered that after sending my father out of the city tomorrow, he will let me go to Yuze Palace to accompany me." ”

Pei Yaowei looked at him for a long time, and many words were on his lips, but he couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry, as long as my father keeps to himself and comes back from the rebellion, the emperor will not do anything to me."

She nodded, but wanted to ask in her heart: What if Xiang Tao failed to successfully quell the rebellion, or ......

Is he not at peace with himself?

But she really can't do anything about her son sarcastically mocking her father.

"Chang Chu, ......" In the end, she could only instruct: "Xiao Cha's temperament...... On weekdays, following him is already a companion like a tiger, and now he is like this, you will be more cautious when you arrive at Yuze Palace later. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! ”

"Don't worry, Changchu understands." After a while, he hesitated to speak, and asked, "Niangniang, let me ask, I don't know why you came back this time?" ”

Pei Yao paused.

"For ......," she pondered, not wanting to hide it from him, but not knowing how to speak.

Seeing this, Xiangying took the initiative to say: "Niangniang doesn't have to be embarrassed, I just asked casually, since you can't say it, then you don't have to tell me." ”

When he said this, Pei Yao's heart was warm and sour, and after a while, she sighed lightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will come to demolish your house?" ”

Xiang Ying shook his head: "You are not such a person. ”

After a pause, he seemed to think about this question very much, and said: "Even if there is such a day, it must be my Xiang's family who is worthy of the people of the society." ”

Pei Yaowei was slightly stunned, came back to his senses, and lowered his head and shook his head.

On the second day, Xiang Tao went out on an expedition and Xiang Ying went to Yuze Palace, and in the afternoon, the Jiyang County Mansion, which was not very popular, became more and more deserted.

- except for one place.

In broad daylight, the door of the West Garden is closed, and people come and go outside, but there is no clue, but the courtyard is very lively.

"The surname is Xiang, don't deceive people too much!"

After being rejected by Xiang Yao again to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, Pei Qingtan couldn't help it, tore off all the veils of gentle whispering, slapped the table, pointed at him and began to accuse.

And Xiangyao still didn't move.

"Who am I bullying?" He dropped the chess piece, glanced faintly at her bandaged calf, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "This little bird with broken wings, if I hadn't taken the risk to save her - guess what would happen to her now?" ”

Pei Qingtan's eyes widened, he was anxious and angry, and after a while, he held back a sentence angrily: "I didn't ask you to save me!" ”

After speaking, Xiang Yao didn't react, but she herself became more and more embarrassed.

This matter has to start from the night she escaped from the Huaiguo Mansion.

Long before she escaped, she had already thought about it, and planned to ask Xiangying for help to help her escape from the dust capital.

The exit of the secret passage of the Huaiguo Mansion happened to be only two short distances from the Jiyang County Mansion, and she came out of the secret passage at that time, so she thought of sneaking away to the Xiangfu, and waited for two hours at random to find a place, and when the morning dawned, as soon as Xiangying left the mansion, she went up to stop him.

Unexpectedly, the plan did not resist the change, she thought very smoothly, but a few steps out, she was discovered by the soldiers who patrolled the night, thinking that she was a thief, and seven or eight feathered arrows came one after another, one of which grazed her calf, leaving a deep gap.

It was when she was in so much pain that she was about to explain that she was about to explain here when she was in pain, and she was about to explain that Xiang Yao, who went to the Hou Mansion to be a guest and returned late, appeared.

He recognized Princess Yecheng, who was dressed as a palace maid, and secretly rescued her and brought her home, and then now.

Qing Tan has been in a hurry these days, and he just wants to get out of the city as soon as possible and rush to Beilin Zhao Mansion as soon as possible. But this good thing has been said a lot, this is the second son of Xiang is stunned, and he just won't let her go.

After calming down for a moment, Qing Tan was rude, and when he spoke again, he tried to reason with him calmly: "Second son, let's be a man with a conscience, you saved me that night, and I am also grateful to you.

But now that I really have something particularly important to do, can't you just be a good person and let me out? ”

"What's particularly important?" Xiang Yao said lightly: "You fled secretly, and the palace is still locked with news at this time, but the net sent out to find someone in private must be a lot of nonsense." Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter what you want to do, it is difficult to reach the sky. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at her playfully: "Why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you." ”

"I ......"

In the past few days, it's not that he hasn't asked her this question, but Qingtan is selfish and doesn't want to tell him much.

But now I'm forced to do this......

She had a delusion for no reason, if she didn't say it all the time, he was afraid ...... If you really don't let yourself out.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, turned her heart sideways, and said, "I'm going to Beilin." ”

Xiang Yao's eyebrows moved.

North Forest.

That is, I am going to go to the Yasukuni Mansion.

"Oh......" He sighed suddenly, and said, "No wonder you went to Changchu." ”

His tone was flat, but Qingtan still keenly grasped a different meaning from it.

She thought for a moment and explained: "My aunt trusted him the most when she was alive, and now he is General Wei and wants to go out of the city...... Of course I had to ask him for help. ”

The words landed, but Xiang Yao smiled.

Facing Qing Tan's puzzled gaze, he said, "That's what I said, why do you bother to explain it again?" ”

Isn't there no silver three hundred taels here?

Qingtan was speechless for a while, "I ......"

Xiang Yao looked at her like this, and felt a little lost in his heart.

She is in such a hurry to explain, what can she be for?

He naturally didn't think that she was taking into account the mood of her fiancé, for fear that she would misunderstand.

"Don't worry," he put the chess pieces back in the box, and the book in his hand was also put down, "he is my own brother, and I will not hold a grudge against him." ”

His mind was pierced by him so calmly, Qing Tan lowered his head, his fingers kept twisting, and he didn't dare to face him anymore.

Speaking of which, for Xiangyao, she actually has a sense of guilt in her heart.

Xiang Yao adjusted a comfortable sitting position, looked at her, and continued: "But please also remember that if there is such a thing in the future, I still hope that you can come to me directly." ”

Pei Qingtan suddenly raised his head to look at him.

He was still the same calm, as if this sentence was no different from the previous words.

But in Pei Qingtan's heart, there was a cloud of fog that slowly rose.

He said: "Although I have not had any relationship with Empress Renyi, I still have a friendship with you. In the last Lingyun Palace, the princess took responsibility for her actions, and she was very respectful and honest. ”

Her face was about to burn, and when she heard this, she forced herself to stand up and turned her back to him.

"Don't talk about it...... Last time, I was sorry for you. ”

"If I hadn't forced you to take me out of the palace, I wouldn't have let Concubine De seize the handle of the two of us privately, and make you a good man, and be tied to a 'princess' like me with an unjustified name, I really wronged you......"

Her voice grew lower and lower, and after a few moments, she looked back at him as if she had suddenly remembered something.

"But ......"

She wanted to say, but this time it's okay, if she leaves, she will probably not come back to be this princess Raushzi, so his matter of the colt will naturally be over.

But Xiangyao interrupted her.

"But—" He looked into her eyes, his voice steady, and said slowly, "I never feel wronged.

On the contrary, just for this matter, I would like to thank Concubine De. ”

Pei Qingtan was stunned.

She sat down slowly, her heart was in turmoil, and her eyes began to feel weak, as if she couldn't see anything clearly for a while.

After a while, a warm touch on her wrist startled her.

"What do you do!"

Xiangyao grabbed her hand and didn't let go.

"Cunyu said that you have a fever in the morning, and it is not good to call the doctor right now, so I will give you a pulse."

After diagnosing the pulse, he said: "There is nothing wrong with it, it is just the tossing in the past two days, plus you are restless, and the illness will inevitably start, I will still prescribe a prescription for you, you are obedient, drink two pieces of medicine, and have a good rest." ”

"When I'm cured—" she asked, "you're going to let me go?" ”

"I'll talk about it when you're well."
