Chapter 31: Cousin

There were many guards outside the palace, and under the steps, Pei Qinghe and Pei Zheng stood side by side.

The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by secretly cast their eyes here from time to time.

Pei Qinghe's hand holding the sachet slowly tightened, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

It was she who was confused.

She wanted to cut off the unclear feelings with Pei Zheng, but she still gave Pei Zheng a sachet in public, wouldn't it be even more misleading.

In the past, Pei Zheng rescued her and treated her with thoughtful courtesy, but he never said that he loved her.

He would have agreed to marry her in his previous life, presumably for the sake of the princess's mansion trying her best to save him.

He probably didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Pei Qinghe looked down at the sachet in his hand, frowning slightly.

As a result, Pei Zheng refused to accept the things she sent, so she had to find another way out.

She put away the sachet and sorted out her mood, looked up at him, and asked with a smile, "Has the holy decree been sent to the Wei Palace?" ”

Pei Zheng: "Not yet." ”

"Then are you going to leave the palace now?"

"Your Majesty left Pei Zheng to stay in the palace for a little longer."

Stay in the palace?

Pei Qinghe's eyes flashed slightly, and something quickly crossed under his eyes, which was fleeting.

Even if she stays in the palace, she still has a chance.

Pei Qinghe relaxed after thinking about it, "It's not appropriate to stay here for long, the prince of the world, please-"

As she spoke, she saluted Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng didn't move, he glanced at her lightly and heavily, and his tone couldn't distinguish his attitude: "The county lord is polite." ”

Pei Qinghe disagreed, and said: "This is the proper courtesy." ”

Pei Zheng frowned rarely, and looked at her deeply.

He heard her say: "In the past, it was Qinghe's recklessness, and you were Qinghe's cousin, and now this is the proper courtesy." ”

Pei Zheng didn't say much, accepted her gift, but when he turned to leave, he said: "This is not like you." ”

Pei Qinghe followed behind him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

used to think that he also had affection for her, so he indulged a lot in front of him.

Now that the person who died once has seen his indifference and ruthlessness, where does she dare to pester him like before.

After all, he and Xiao Tan are all Gu Beining's people.

She just can't afford to mess with it.

-

Out of the Xuande Palace, Pei Qinghe wanted to go back to the Yupeng Palace, and Pei Zheng rushed to the residence arranged for him in the palace.

It's just that Pei Qinghe, who was always lively and cheerful in front of Pei Zheng in the past, didn't say a word today.

Pei Qinghe didn't mean it, he just couldn't remember what to say to Pei Zheng.

If you talk too much, you are afraid of making mistakes, so you simply don't say anything.

The distance was not far, and seeing that they were about to walk to the Imperial Garden, when the two of them should part ways, Pei Zheng, who was walking in front of Pei Qinghe, suddenly stopped.

Pei Qinghe was stunned, and before he could speak, he saw him suddenly turn around, and his eyes fell on her palm.

Immediately after, he took the sachet from her hand and put it on his waist.

Pei Qinghe was dumbfounded.

He...... Isn't it that you refuse to take it?

"Still angry?" He asked her, his voice warm and warm.

Pei Qinghe blinked, did he think that she was upset when he didn't accept the sachets?

Pei Qinghe's mind turned a thousand times, and said, "Qinghe doesn't dare." ”

The small appearance looks really well-behaved to the extreme.

It is a side that Pei Zheng has never seen.

He looked at her quietly, his eyes dark.

At this time, two small palace maids came from in front of them, and the palace maids were whispering and discussing something.

The words they discussed reached Pei Qinghe's ears-

"Really? According to you, Miss Gu is evil? ”

"Isn't it true that if you fall into such a deep lake and don't die, and wake up and behave strangely, isn't it evil?"

"It is said that on His Majesty's birthday, the king of Zhenbei will return to Beijing, and when the time comes, then Miss Gu will also come back together?"

"That's inevitable!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The two small palace maids walked to another palace road, and they didn't find Pei Qinghe and Pei Zheng from beginning to end.

Pei Qinghe listened to all the words of the little palace maid.

She clenched her hand in her sleeve so tightly that her breath became tight.

Could it be that Gu Beining came through at this time?

Pei Qinghe closed his eyes, looked up at Pei Zheng, who looked peacefully, and said with some sarcasm: "Cousin, have you ever heard of King Zhenbei?" ”

Pei Zheng glanced at her and nodded: "This is natural." ”

"What about Gu Beining, the daughter of the King of Zhenbei?"

"I saw it when I was young."

Ever seen?

Pei Qinghe disagreed.

What he saw was not the later Gu Beining, what he saw was Gu Beining, who fell into the water and died tragically, the real Miss Gu family.

Pei Qinghe asked him again: "What does my cousin think of this person?" ”

Pei Zheng's expression was faint, "Pei and Miss Gu are not acquainted. If you are not familiar with each other, how can you judge people's words. ”

Pei Qinghe was speechless.

Pei Zheng's voice sounded in her ears again, and he said: "Pei heard that Miss Gu was weak, and she accidentally fell into the lake a few days ago, and she was dying when she was rescued. ”

"Pei also heard that Miss Gu's temperament changed greatly after she woke up, and she judged the two of them overnightβ€”β€”"

"It's like the lord of the county."

His last sentence fell, and Pei Qinghe's expression was slightly paused.

Yes, she had changed so much in front of him, it would be strange if he didn't notice it.

At this moment, the two of them had reached a fork in the road, and Pei Zheng saw that Pei Qinghe didn't want to talk to him more, so he spoke: "I heard that the county lord is copying scriptures for His Majesty. Don't miss the hour, go back quickly. ”

Pei Qinghe went down the steps he gave, "Qinghe said goodbye." ”

"In any case, Pei still thanked the county lord for coming to the rescue todayβ€”β€”"

"Cousin, you don't have to be polite, you and I are both surnamed Pei, so we should be a family."

After speaking, Pei Qinghe turned around and left.

Pei Zheng didn't move in place, recalling Pei Qinghe's last sentence, he didn't know what to think, and his expression deepened a little.

Pei Qinghe walked for a while and couldn't help but look back at Pei Zheng.

He had turned away.

Pei Qinghe couldn't help but walk, looking at his bamboo-like back, she felt it for a long time.

She couldn't figure it out.

What made Pei Zheng become the violent and violent appearance he was later?

"It's heartbeat, I can't hide from my bad eyesβ€”" The man's witty and funny voice suddenly appeared.

Is it exciting?

Pei Qinghe came back to his senses and looked at Qi Xing with an expressionless face.

"Qi Xing, do you think you have a good sense of humor?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I-"

Qi Xing was choked so that he couldn't speak.

Pei Qinghe exhaled turbid breath and walked in the direction of Yupeng Hall by himself, "Why are you here?" ”

Qi Xing was stunned, yes, what is he here for?

In the next second, he slapped his head, sighed, and said, "I almost forgot about business!" I'm telling you, there's something big going on in this palace! ”

-

When Qi Xing led Pei Qinghe back to the Yupeng Palace, and after climbing onto the roof, Pei Qinghe saw a dense group of people surrounding the Yupeng Palace.

Take a closer look.

It's the person in Concubine Rong's palace.

They were guarding the door of the side hall.

Pei Qinghe pondered for a moment and asked the person beside him, "Does Concubine Rong know about Shen Qiuhuan's affair with Pei Tian?" ”

"What's more!"

Qi Xing looked like he had eaten a big melon, "I heard that these two people were caught and raped in bed by Concubine Rong today!" ”
