This is the first time Lin Jiazhi has stepped into Penglai Palace.

In previous years, even if she worshipped for the New Year, she would not go to it for an excuse, maybe Pei Jinyu was also afraid of giving her medicine back then, and she never showed any disrespect to her.

This time, it was also the first time Pei Jinyu took the initiative to summon her.

The princess's return to favor did not affect the status of Pei's mother and son, the emperor still stayed in Penglai Hall at night, and Pei Jinyu was still alone.

When Pei Jinyu saw her, she retreated and said straight to the point: "Yesterday, Your Majesty summoned my fifth brother and asked him to marry the Gan family's daughter!" ”

Lin Jiazhi suddenly clenched her fists and sneered: "Didn't you Pei already marry a Gan girl?" ”

Pei Jinyu said: "Your Majesty has made up with me, and he has decided to make the princess of Qin State the prince!" ”

Lin Jiazhi was stunned.

Pei Jinyu picked up the teacup, took a sip unhurriedly, and said: "In order to pave the way for Her Royal Highness the princess, and also to protect my Pei family, Your Majesty suggested that the Pei family and the Gan family marry to show sincerity!" ”

Lin Jiazhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "What does your Pei family's business have to do with me? ”

Pei Jinyu put down the teacup, still warm and indifferent, and couldn't see the emotion: "He refused!" ”

Her clenched fist suddenly loosened, and her heart seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but more confusion poured out.

Pei Jinyu sighed and said melancholy: "My fifth brother has always been the best of the children of Guanzhong——"

"When the Pei family was at its peak, he lived in the Chinese room and introspected and self-disciplined, practiced articles, refined the six arts, and was known as Holding Jin Huaiyu;"

"When he was exiled to Lingnan, in order to ensure the peace of his family, he led the militia to pull out the 36 villages in Guizhou, and made the Xiyue Tusi intersect;

"After returning to the capital, in order to revive the Pei family, he abandoned his pen from Rong and faced King Rong in Daizhou, winning seven battles and seven victories, causing King Rong to flee when he heard the wind;"

"Even if he is confined to the small land of the capital, he is full of scheming, and once forced the Jiangnan ministers to retreat, so that the two surnames Pei and Wei are on par with the Jiangnan surnames and the Yuan family!"

At first, she was still fascinated, and as she spoke, her emotions became more and more excited, and in the end, she couldn't hold it back, and she got up and looked at Lin Jiazhi fiercely: "The county lord of Guancheng!" Do you know why a powerful fifth brother like me was removed from his post and investigated in the case of the princess's birthday last time?! ”

Lin Jiazhi pursed her lips and did not speak, but her eyes were faintly moist and hot.

"When my father and sixth brother died tragically, the Pei family fell into the dust overnight from the head of the Guanzhong family, and the whole family was exiled to the barren land of Lingnan, and the fifth brother never gave up!"

"But why? Why did such a small blow make him hide in the eastern suburbs for four months? ”

"Four months of not seeking progress, four months of ignoring foreign affairs! If it weren't for Chengzhi's accident, would he be ready to hide there for the rest of his life! Pei Jinyu stepped in front of her, her eyes were red, but her voice suddenly became soft, "Guancheng County Lord, you said he, is he crazy?" ”

With such a close look, Lin Jiazhi effortlessly saw the hatred in her eyes.

"He is the fifth brother I have been proud of since I was a child, and he once swore to protect me for the rest of my life before my mother died—"

"But when I was about to give birth, when I was staring at my child both inside and out, he took a full three-month leave to plan to go south! When I was framed and punished by His Majesty for taking away the palace affairs, I chose to abandon the official in order to defend others! When Pei's needed him to stand up and turn the tide, he refused to marry for the sake of a relationship that was not tolerated by the world! ”

Pei Jinyu stood in front of her, trembling all over, and the moment tears rolled out, she knelt down with a "poof"-

"Three years ago...... It's me who I'm sorry for you—" Her gesture was almost humble, "I beg you, let my fifth brother go!" ”

Lin Jiazhi's gaze fell on the top of her head somewhere unknown, and she didn't know how long she was silent, and she heard her voice sound far away and ethereal: "What if...... I can't do it......"

Pei Jinyu stood up slowly, wiped the tears on her face little by little, looked at her with heavy eyes, and said softly: "The county lord doesn't think about himself, doesn't think about my fifth brother, he should also think about Liang Guogong, it's not a good thing to have a ** fornicating mother......"

……

After returning to the Guogong Mansion, Lin Jiazhi sat alone in the courtyard of the Green Yi Courtyard until she was picked up by him.

"Why don't you go into the house and wait?" His voice was cold and angry, but the action of holding her was gentle and moving.

"It's not cold." She whispered.

When she came out of Penglai Palace, she was already frozen and unconscious, and she just continued to be unconscious when she sat in the courtyard.

Bai Apple had already made charcoal in the house, but she was sent out early, and she couldn't watch her die.

He put her on the bed, wrapped her in the quilt, and got up to go out.

She reflexively grabbed him: "Don't go!" ”

"I'll ask someone to cook you a bowl of ginger soup." He reassured.

She pulled him back and said, "I have something to say to you!" ”

He froze and sat down on the bed, looking at her with a faint expression.

Lin Jiazhi subconsciously avoided his gaze and said in a low voice: "Pei Ji, let's break it!" ”

He pinched her chin violently, lifted her face, forced her to look at himself, and asked slowly, "What did Jinyu say to you?" ”

It turned out that he knew it all.

Lin Jiazhi smiled and said, "What did she say, can't you guess?" What she said was true! ”

"Ah Zhi ......"

"Pei Ji, it's impossible for us to be together...... I'm tired of such sneaky days......"

"Tired of it?" His eyes lit up, "Tired of what?" ”

Lin Jiazhi raised her hand to block his chest and sneered: "Until now, who can you hide it?" Is it true that one day the whole world will know about our ugliness? ”

He kissed her on the lips roughly, ripped her clothes off her body, and forced her to the point where there was no way to hide, until she couldn't help but tremble with fear, he raised his head, and his eyes were like a storm: "What do you think we ...... Is it a scandal? ”

Lin Jiazhi smiled miserably and said, "**, fornication, isn't it a scandal?" ”

"You can not care, and I can not care, but what do you want Xiao An to do? What should you do if you let Chengzhi do it? ”

He buried his head in her neck, and his voice was weak: "Ah Zhi, what do you want me to do?" ”

She said softly: "We are not children who are ignorant of the world, marrying a wife and having children, and protecting the Pei family, this is what you should do; When we're together, it's just a drag on each other and the people around us, and I don't want to take on that anymore...... Pei Ji is just a man and a woman, it's not worth sacrificing so much......"

"Pei Ji, you, forget me......"

She originally thought that when she said these words, she would cry bitterly and cry bitterly, but she did not have the slightest difficulty as she imagined, so she said it so softly and skillfully, but when she said the last sentence, she seemed to be unable to continue, and suddenly her voice was dumb.

Pei Ji buried his face in her neck socket in silence, barely feeling his breathing, only the flutter of his eyelashes showed his wakefulness.

I don't know how long it took, he slowly raised his head, his eyes were cold without a trace of emotion.

"Good!" He said lightly.

One word, in an instant, broke down the defense line she thought was invulnerable.

She burst out crying out as if a hand was cutting open her body, pulling out her internal organs one by one, tearing them apart piece by piece.

The pain is so painful that I can't breathe, and the pain is so painful that I can't die.

"Crying for what?" His voice was still indifferent and cold, "I promised, I won't let you bear these ...... again"

His words were like a dagger that pierced her torn heart.

She grabbed his placket tightly, wanted to hug him, wanted to kiss him desperately, but didn't dare to do anything, she was going to push him away, what else was she qualified to do? What else qualifies to cry here?

But the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't stop the tears.

In a trance, he seemed to sigh and pulled her hand away.

When despair and cold came, his lips suddenly warmed, and he leaned over and kissed him.

As if the instinct of a drowning person, she instantly wrapped her arms around his neck, couldn't wait to kiss back, and pleaded intermittently: "Pei Ji...... Give me one more time...... Last ......"

He paused, stroked her slightly cool skin with his palm, and whispered, "Okay......"

……

She didn't remember how long she had pestered him that night, only that he had been silent but gentle enough to satisfy her again and again, and finally she couldn't hold it anymore and passed out.

When I woke up, it was already dawn.

She caressed the cold, unmanned pillow, caressed his body full of his traces, and cried out again.

Before he fell into a coma last night, he looked into her eyes and demanded forcefully: "Ah Zhi, remember me!" ”

Well, I remember you......

Please, forget about me......

……

After that night, she fell seriously ill, and she was so sick that she couldn't afford to stay on the bed, and she didn't even participate in the princess's ceremony.

When she was finally able to get out of bed, Lin Zhizhi became Xiao Liang, and Pei Ji left the capital.

I don't know if it was because he didn't agree to take the Gan girl after all, or because the princess and the emperor were annoyed at the ceremony, Pei Ji was relegated to Lingnan and Guizhou again.

In the depths of winter, the world is bleak.

Lin Jiazhi, under the leadership of the palace people, walked cautiously and cautiously towards the Palm Bead Hall step by step.

The palm bead hall is as warm as spring, but Lin Jiaruo is not inside.

"His Royal Highness is still in the Zichen Palace, please stay for a while!" The maid said softly.

Lin Jiazhi nodded, held the hot tea, but held it in the palm of her hand and didn't drink it.

The princess is in the court, although she did not say it explicitly, but few people can't see that this is to be cultivated as a prince, for more than a month, Lin Jiaruo has met with all the important ministers of the court, and all the women who are invited to see them have been brought to Penglai Palace.

She was originally worried that she would also be taken to Penglai Palace, but fortunately, she agreed to see her.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the footsteps entered the hall, and in a moment, the girl in the red cloak walked out from behind the screen, and while the maid who followed closely behind her took off the cloak on her body, she walked towards Lin Jiazhi, and before she could sit down, she asked, "What is the second sister looking for me?" ”

Lin Jiazhi looked at her clear and delicate face, slightly distracted.

After hearing about the ceremony, there were rumors that the princess and the prince of the county were inconsistent, and later announced the identity of Lin Zhizhi's orphan of the Xiao family.

Ah Ruo is always so lucky, if Pei Ji ......

"Second sister?" Lin Jiaruo called her worriedly, "Why is your face still so bad?" Haven't you taken care of your body yet? I heard that you didn't let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat you, and I thought you were cured, look at it like this, let's let Imperial Doctor Xue take a look again, right? ”

And when he spoke, he sent a man to the imperial doctor.

Lin Jiazhi hurriedly stopped her, pursed her lips nervously, and said, "Ah Ruo, I want to say a few words to you alone......"

Lin Jiaruo glanced at her suspiciously, and waved away.

There was no one around, she slowly raised her hand, stroked her flat lower abdomen, and her voice trembled: "Ah Ruo, you can help me......"

……

In the spring of the fifth year of Jianlong, 300,000 troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty went out of Pingrong.

By June, the Pingrong army had been lost outside the pass for more than a month, and the whole court and the central government were trembling, and the daily Zichen Palace held meetings until late at night.

At such a tense moment, Lin Jiaruo, the princess of Qin, rode out of the palace, went out of the city late at night, and went straight to the eastern suburbs.

In the eastern suburbs of the manor, Lin Jiazhi stared blankly at the roof, the strength in her body was losing at an alarming rate, and when the pain hit, she didn't even have room to react.

She vaguely heard Lin Jiaruo's voice unquestionably firm: "Baoda!" ”

She jerked to her feet and screamed, "No! No! Keep it small! Keep it small! ”

Lin Jiaruo rushed to her, shook her hand hard, and said, "I'll give you another chance!" You give birth to the child yourself, or I will have someone beat the child down and give it to his father!" ”

She burst into tears, but her hand shook it back.

Lin Jiaruo's eyes lit up, and he turned around and shouted, "Quick!" Ginseng soup! ”

……

At dawn, she finally heard the shouts of surprise around her, felt someone brushing away her sweaty hair on her face, and gently comforted her in her ear: "It's okay, second sister, it's a lovely niece......"

She was relieved and unconscious.

When Lin Jiaruo held the child and asked her to name it, she thought for a long time in a daze, and said softly: "Scarlet, just call her Afei......"

"Ah Fei......" Lin Jiaruo read it again, and suddenly laughed.

Scarlet, Pei and Ji each take half; Even though she died for this daughter, she never had a grudge against that man.

What a grievance......

After Ah Fei was full moon, she was sent to a neighboring county for foster care, and she herself returned to the long-lost Guogong Mansion.

This pregnancy was even harder than Xiao An's time, eight months of pregnancy, almost all of them were spent in bed, premature birth and dystocia, I have been taking medicine during the month, and after returning to the Guogong Mansion, I was sick intermittently for half a year, until the spring of the sixth year of Jianlong, it gradually improved.

In the Palm Bead Palace, Lin Jiaruo was trying on the wedding dress, and when she saw her come in, she smiled at her and said, "I heard Xue Duan say that you are just a little better, why are you in a hurry to see me?" ”

Lin Jiazhi pursed her lips, her eyes wandered for a while, seeing that the hall was busy, and finally did not open her mouth to let Lin Jiaruo retreat, and only said implicitly: "Ah Ruo, I want to meet her......"

Ah Fei was personally ordered by Lin Jiaruo to be sent away, and at that time she was in so much pain that she felt like she had been cut out of her heart, and she didn't dare to ask where she went, for fear that she would not be able to control herself and find it.

However, after more than half a year, the concern has increased instead of decreasing.

She was sick before, and Lin Jiaruo was busy with state affairs, so she couldn't speak, but now that she looks, Lin Jiaruo seems to be busier than she imagined.

Lin Jiaruo raised her arm, and while letting the maid tie her belt, she smiled at Lin Jiazhi and said: "Second sister, you can bear with it, I am really too busy to take a break from this time, wait for two months, I will accompany you!" ”

Lin Jiazhi still wanted to say something, and the outside reported to the British public Xiao Liang to ask to see her, and she had no choice but to retire.

Lin Jiaruo watched her leave, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Where is the swallow?" ”

"It's past Jiangnan, it's almost there!"
