Long Mengxun, as the leader of the dark guard beside Sima Yi, the power he has is actually quite large, since he can become the leader of the dark guard, then he naturally has won Sima Yi's trust, and when he does things and talks, he is naturally more useful.

Knowing that Sima Yi didn't like Pei Huai, then naturally he would splash any dirty water on Pei Huai's body as much as possible, besides, if the two of them fought, it would seem to be ......

"Master." In the room, which looked ordinary and without the slightest luxury, a man dressed in black appeared in the room, knelt on the ground, and shouted respectfully.

"It didn't show any of it, did it?" And in front of the man in black, stood a man dressed in ordinary clothes. The voice was also full of majesty.

"Please rest assured, master, no one will know that the confessions of those adults were all instructed by us to say that." The man in black hurriedly replied.

"Okay, you pay close attention to this matter, but don't act rashly."

"Yes, master."

As the man in black got up and opened the door, he walked out cautiously, only to find that this was a place to find flowers and willows, and the outside of the room was completely different from the inside.

But no one knows who this man is, and it has to be said that he is hiding deeply.

Pei Huai returned to the mansion and went to look for Xu Xi.

After these three days of recuperation, her body has completely recovered, which also makes Pei Huai very relieved. I told her about the things in the court, and also talked about the follow-up of the embezzlement of disaster relief food.

In fact, this matter is basically qualitative, now it is to see how to deal with the next thing, those corrupt officials will definitely not be able to escape, that is, this matter involves Sima Yi, and now the emperor is retrying the case, it depends on the outcome of this second time.

"What if the results of this second trial show how much this matter is related to that Sima Yi?" Xu Xi asked out loud.

"I have already asked people to investigate the family situation of those corrupt officials, as well as some tricks, and I believe that the results will be obtained soon. Since the other party can let these corrupt officials slander Sima Yi, then they must have a handle in hand, and we can do the same, as long as they don't have any worries, they will naturally tell the truth. Pei Huai replied.

After all, for them, they are already people who are about to die, and they dare to bite high-ranking people at will, this is not a worry, it is completely unnecessary.

Therefore, in fact, Pei Huai has already made people prepare for this matter.

"It's been a real ups and downs." Xu Xi sighed slightly and said.

"It's going to end soon." Pei Huai said, pouring a cup of tea for Xu Xi. Smelling the fragrance of tea, my mood seems to have precipitated a little, and I am no longer so irritable.

"And what's behind it?" Xu Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked.

"For the time being, nothing has been investigated, the mastermind behind the scenes is doing things very carefully, leaving no clues, it seems that it is not so easy to catch them." Pei Huai said, "But since they can attack these officials, it is definitely impossible for them to stay out of the matter." ”

"You mean, maybe this person is from the court?" Xu Xi immediately reacted and asked.

"Nine times out of ten, this is true, even if you are not a person in the court, you must have some close relationship with the court officials." Pei Huai nodded and said.

"But it's a lot of investigation." Xu Xi frowned slightly and said.

"It doesn't matter, one day he will catch his fox tail, and before that, he can only be covered by water, and the soldiers will block it." Pei Huai didn't seem to be very worried about what the people behind the scenes were doing in the shadows, but he had such a kind of self-confidence and was not afraid of any danger.

But also, he was that kind of person. It's incredibly powerful, as if it's fearless, and it makes people feel safe.

"By the way, how did you deal with Princess Marty?" Xu Xi asked out loud.

I knew from Fuliu's mouth that Princess Yuqi was willing to give up everything and marry into the National Teacher's Mansion, which also made her sigh, but she didn't join in the fun to see how he dealt with Princess Yuqi.

Now, it's just a casual question, and it doesn't mean anything else. Because she also knew that Pei Huai would not like a woman like Princess Yuqi, otherwise, she would have already liked her, where would she be able to get her turn?

After all, for Pei Huai, if he likes it, no matter who the other party is, he can't stop it.

Even the princess he least wanted to marry! But so what?

Therefore, the biggest problem between them is actually never their identity, but the kind of relationship between them, they don't like it, even if it's a dead beggar, they still don't like it.

Disgust, no matter how much you plead, it can't be changed, especially for a man, wouldn't it make people hate you even more if you say this? Are you even more disgusted?

If you can get out in time, maybe people will look up to you.

People are such "animals", and no one is exempt from vulgarity.

It's a pity that Princess Yuqi has already miscalculated from the beginning, it's not that you entered the National Teacher's Mansion and became his nominal concubine, even if you have a further relationship with him, it's not the same thing at all, okay?

"I don't know." As soon as Pei Huai's words came out, Xu Xi was a little stunned, although he knew that he would not like Princess Yuqi, but he didn't know anything about this arrangement, so he was a little .....

"It's all arranged by the flag, and I haven't interfered. If you want to know, I'll go back and let the flag report back to you. Pei Huai said, pouring Xu Xi a cup of tea again.

"I don't want to know, I'm just asking casually." Xu Xi shook his head slightly and said.

She doesn't really want to care about such a thing, especially now that there is no relationship between her and Pei Huai, whether she likes it or not, in fact, she doesn't really say it.

Therefore, it is better for her not to define herself in the position of the wife of the national teacher.

"It's a good family to be born as a princess, so you really plan to snub her like this?" Xu Xi asked tentatively.

"In the National Teacher's Mansion, there is no princess, she is just a palace maid now, and Princess Yuqi was buried two days ago." Pei Huai explained.

"Even so, this blood is thicker than water, will the emperor really let her be wronged here and ignore it?" After all, she is also the emperor's favorite sister, although this status seems to be a little embarrassing now, but this does not seem to hinder the fact that she is indeed the emperor's sister today.

"He will." Pei Huai replied.

These three words made Xu Xi a little stunned all of a sudden, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"Since Princess Yuqi is already dead, then she will naturally not be the emperor's sister-in-law, from the moment she made her choice, she was already doomed. For the sake of the royal face, the emperor will just be the real Xiangxiao jade of Princess Yuqi, so no matter what happens to her in the future, she will not become Princess Yuqi, the emperor's own sister, and in the same way, the emperor will no longer care about her life or death. ”

Pei Huai explained to Xu Xi.

Is that really the case?

Sure enough, in this era of supremacy of imperial power, depriving a person of his identity is just a matter of words, but this is Princess Yuqi's own choice, what the consequences are, whether it is pain or joy, she can only bear it herself.

Thinking of this, Xu Xi couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you sympathize with her?" Pei Huai looked at Xu Xi and asked.

Xu Xi shook her head slightly, and said: "Don't sympathize, this path is her own choice, no matter how painful she is in the future, she has to go through it by herself when she kneels, I just think that here, rights, status, are actually quite important." ”

At least for some, that's the case.

Of course, she doesn't care, if she can, she hopes that after all this is stabilized, she can retreat to the mountains and forests with him and live an ordinary life, not in the court, not in the rivers and lakes, only in the countryside.

"Then do you like that kind of power, that kind of status?"

"I don't like it."

"Why?"

"Because it represents deceit, intrigues, and killing and blood."

Is there a person with monstrous power who is not behind the bones?

Even Pei Huai doesn't know how many people he has killed, so that he can have such a status as he has now, he can have such power as he has now, and he can stand like he is now and become the pillar of the Yan Kingdom.

"And what kind of life do you want?" Pei Huai asked again, looking straight at her.

"Bland, peaceful, warm, happy." Xu Xi said four words, and she knew that he would understand the meaning behind the words she said.

"If I could, I would like to live like this with you, would you, would you like to?" Xu Xi has never responded to him positively, in this case, he actually asked in disguise, but at that time, she was either angry and rejected him, or directly avoided it.

Now he asked again, eager to know the answer in her heart.

"Sir." At this time, Xu Xidu hadn't answered his words, and was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

Xu Xi and Pei Huai sat in the gazebo, talking and drinking tea, it was originally a very beautiful thing, but there are always some people who are not long-sighted who like to come up with nothing to do, especially those who immediately destroy such a beautiful atmosphere.

Turning to look over, Xu Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and looked at Pei Huai with a smile, this really means that Cao Cao Cao is here.
