Murong Xi was not injured, so on the second day after returning to the palace, he entered the palace and explained the assassination to Murong Sheng.

Murong Sheng heard this, and his stern face was silent for a while, and then he raised his eyes to look at Murong Xi in the hall, "You said that this matter is going for the missing pearl?" ”

Murong Xi weighed it in his heart, and then said straightly: "It's from the Chu West Kingdom." ”

Murong Sheng was shocked, "Is it the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom?" ”

Murong Sheng knew that when the prince was rescued, the missing pearl had interceded for him, but the matter that night had been suppressed by him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. A princess of her own country would actually intercede for the prince of the enemy country, which shows that the pearl has known him for a long time.

This is not surprising, the lost pearl has always liked to run around in the palace, and it is not surprising if she strayed into the broken hall, but when did she get acquainted with the prince, why didn't he know, why didn't anyone come to report it to him?

"It was he who sent people to infiltrate the Qianmu State in an attempt to catch the pearl to the western country of Chu." Murong Xi reported truthfully, and a touch of ruthlessness quickly flashed in his black eyes.

Murong Sheng seemed to be a little unable to sit still, but he still let his body sit on the dragon chair with a complicated expression, and then he thought of something, "Old Seven, don't you know that the lost pearl is acquainted with that person?" ”

At least he knew about it earlier than himself, after all, during that time, the lost pearl was very often with him.

The man in the hall no longer concealed it, and arched his hands, "Yes, the retainer is in the know." But Erchen asked Yu Zhu if he liked the foreign prince. She denied it, saying that she just thought it was pitiful for the foreign prince to be locked up in that deserted and broken palace, so she secretly ran in to talk to him. I also heard her say that the foreign prince seemed to have saved her life. ”

"A life-saving grace?" Murong Sheng's face was serious, "Ridiculous, in the palace, who dares to hurt my princess." When did she ever worry about her life and needed a foreign prince to save her? ”

Murong Xi was silent, and the missing pearl was never mentioned to him. However, he probably guessed that these words were just an excuse for her to let Chu Lingtian go.

Seeing that his son was silent, the man on the dragon chair asked tentatively, "Do you really like that person?" ”

"She once denied it in front of her sons, if her father still has doubts, he can wait for the missing pearl to return to the palace and ask her in detail." He also wanted to know if she really hadn't been moved by Chu Lingtian, otherwise outside the city, when she heard that those assassins were people sent by Chu Lingtian, her face would look strange.

Murong Sheng stopped, "Since she denies it, there is no need to ask any more." ”

Thinking about it, if she really liked that foreign prince, I am afraid that she would not agree to marry Man Changqing.

It's just that......

For some reason, Murong Sheng still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

With a sigh, Murong Sheng said softly: "Since the lost pearl is safe, you will also send people to hunt down the thieves of the Western Chu Kingdom." Don't mention this matter with the missing pearl again. Now that she is in your house, you will take care of her. I will send her back to the palace in a few days. Remember, make sure she's safe. ”

Murong Sheng knew that this daughter had always been unable to stay in the palace. It's okay to leave the palace, but you have to be in a safe situation, and now those assassins can't track it down, she is still in danger, so it's better to be careful, in the end, it's still safe in the palace.

"Yes, the retainer is commanded."

****************************************************************

Steward Zhang of the palace received Pei Jing in the side hall, and the servants served tea and left pearls.

Pei Jing looked at the people who walked out of the inner hall, and saw that her face was bright, her eyes were clear, and her red lips seemed to be more and more like her sister who had been dead for many years. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen this niece, when she was first admitted to the palace, because the emperor had taken care of them for many years, for fear that she would not be suitable when she entered the palace, so he often let him enter the palace to accompany the pearl. Later, as she grew up and was busy with official business, the number of times she entered the palace gradually decreased. On the contrary, she went back to Shangshu Mansion more often, and when she found out about her relationship with Pei Yi, he was in a complicated mood and emotional. Maybe the two are really fateful. When she was in Shangshu Mansion, she always liked to follow Pei Yi behind. When he was about to wait for the beads and Lu to ask the emperor for marriage, Pei Yi had such a thing.

In the end, these two children are still destined.

Now when she saw herself, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and she was relieved that she was still her sister's child and her niece.

"The old minister has seen the princess." Pei Jing got up and saluted her.

Yizhu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Uncle, you want to break Yizhu like this." ”

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, you are a princess, and your uncle is just a courtier, and he will definitely pay you the courtesy of a monarch and a minister."

"Therefore, the missing pearl doesn't dare to go back to Shangshu Mansion, as soon as you see your uncle, you have to pay a big gift to the lost pearl, and the lost pearl can't afford it."

Pei Jing knows that this nephew has always had a gentle personality, even if she becomes a princess, she still has no princess shelf, both her personality and appearance are very pleasing.

I really don't know why my sister was obviously pregnant with a lost pearl, but she didn't want to enter the palace. Alone in the Shangshu Mansion with the pearl for so many years, after the death of even more depressed, the emperor learned that the pearl was taken back to the palace.

Obviously, you can enjoy pure happiness, but you end up depressed, which is really embarrassing.

"Well, this courtesy of the monarch is a must. lest they fall into the eyes of others and say that their uncle does not know the rules. This etiquette is for others to see, uncle doesn't care, as long as he knows that the pearl is respectful of his uncle, his uncle is very pleased. Pei Jing sat back on the chair next to him and said with concern: "Uncle heard that you were assassinated outside the city, and I am worried that you were injured. Lost Pearl, where are you hurting? ”

Yizhu shook his head, "Uncle has a heart, Yizhu is fine, but he was a little frightened." The Seven Emperor Brothers appeared just in time, so the assassin was not injured in the slightest. ”

"So my uncle is relieved." Pei Jing was slightly relieved of his heart. The words of concern have also been said, and now it is Pei Yi's question.

Yizhu is not a dull person, looking at the uncle sitting on the chair, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, there must be something difficult to speak, and I am afraid that I came to the palace today to not only come to care about whether I am injured.

After thinking about it, Pei Jing felt that it was a little inappropriate to raise the matter of Pei Yi and Chang Ning at this time, so he got up and handed it over, "Zhuzhu, since I see that you are fine, my uncle is also relieved." This is Prince Ping's Mansion, and it is inconvenient for my uncle to stay longer, and there are some things in Shangshu's Mansion that have not yet been dealt with, so my uncle will leave first. ”

Seeing him get up, Yizhu called out to him, "Uncle, do you still have something to say to Yizhu?" ”

When Pei Jing heard this, his footsteps were hooked, and he twisted his eyebrows and hesitated to speak.

"Actually, my uncle doesn't say it, and I know what my uncle wants to say." The minions beside him were all repatriated by themselves, and the missing pearl was straight to the point: "The matter between the lost pearl and my cousin is a thing of the past." The lost pearl now only regards his cousin as the eighth brother-in-law of the lost pearl, so the uncle doesn't have to worry about the lost pearl pestering his cousin. ”

Pei Jing twisted his eyebrows, "Lost pearls, uncle doesn't mean that." Uncle knows that you have always been an empathetic child. Uncle doesn't suspect that you still have thoughts about Yi'er, but you don't have thoughts about Yi'er. Yi'er is too obsessed with you, so his relationship with Princess Changning has not progressed. ”

Hearing this, Yizhu's face turned slightly cold.

She has long let go of the past, and now when she mentions the word Pei Yi, she only thinks that she is the same as her eldest cousin, her cousin, and her uncle's son. As for Pei Yi's feelings for himself......

She can't control it at all, okay?

What kind of thoughts he has is his business, and how can she control what others think in their hearts?

But Pei Yi is really troubled by himself. Chang Ning once told himself that the matter between Man Changqing and Yinguan was made by him.

"Uncle, what is my cousin's heart, I can't care about the pearl." The implication is that the person to be persuaded should not be himself, nor should he come to himself.

Pei Jing knew the meaning of her words, and sighed deeply, "Yes, what you said is the lost pearl." But you also know Yi'er's temper. He has always been dead-eyed, and once he decides on something, he will definitely stick to it to the end, even if there is no result. ”

It's a hassle.

"But before the pearl told him very clearly, he said in front of his father that he wanted to reconcile with Chang Ning, and the pearl should also tell him in front of his father, the pearl only regarded him as a cousin, the past is the past, the pearl will not be nostalgic for the past, if he can't listen to the ear, the pearl will have no choice."

"Yes, the Lost Pearl." If Pei Jing hadn't been helpless, he wouldn't have made this request, and he said in a deep voice: "As long as you hurt him once, he will die for you." ”

"Hurt him hard?" The missing pearl was stunned, what should I do about this?

"Yes, it hurts his heart. Since you have no love for him, let him stop thinking about you, and let him live a good life with Princess Changning. ”

The pearl is silent, she has never been a ruthless person, how to start this thing?

……

……

After sending Pei Jing away, the missing pearl returned to the west wing, and he was in a state of discouragement all afternoon.

Jin Xia saw that something was wrong, it happened that Murong Xi came back from the palace, she trusted this prince who treated her master very well, so she told him that Pei Shangshu had come to the palace to visit her princess today.

In fact, Murong Xi learned about this matter from Steward Zhang as soon as he returned home, but after seeing Pei Shangshu, he was depressed, and he didn't know it.

So he ordered the kitchen to make a few snacks she liked and sent them to the west wing.
