Mi Xia Yao looked at Pei Xingyuan in front of her with a rare stunned expression.

On the quiet palace road, the atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter.

He lowered his head slightly, and his gaze naturally fell on Mi Xia Yao's red lips.

The deep eyes flashed and the depth was faint.

The emotion seemed to be in the first thought, and the frequency of his rubbing of her soft cheeks gradually became gentle and slow.

After the two of them left the palace, the ambiguous atmosphere dissipated.

Inside the carriage, Pei Xingyuan nodded the handrail with a slightly solemn expression.

He said in a deep voice: "Originally, I originally planned not to inform the third prince of the Xu family that he had investigated the news of the Jingzhou City investment case, but the plan was always unexpected. ”

"Am I the one who caused it?" Mi Xia Yao quickly guessed that it was her own reason.

When Pei Xingyuan heard this, he raised his eyes and his gaze fell on her body clearly, and the solemn and deep expression just now completely turned into a pool of warm water at this moment.

"If it's because of you, then no matter what is never an accident for me, you are the most important person in my life, even if I can't take the last step, I will do everything possible to protect you."

Mi Xia Yao's heart trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips.

This man! What's going on lately!

His state of being such a raider made Mi Xia Yao not know how to respond to him.

There was silence in the carriage at once, and after a few moments, Moyo cleared her throat.

"What are you going to do after that?"

"It's okay, it's just that the Xu family is more prepared, the third prince came prepared this time, the last time the prince scared the snake, it is impossible for the Rong family to let the prince go so easily, it's just dog eats dog, don't take it to heart."

Pei Xingyuan supported his knees with both hands, and he stared at her deeply, "It's you, now that the position of the female official in the palace has been completely removed, and the Chen family's matter has been broken, are you almost leaving the capital?" ”

Talking about business, Mi Xia Yao gathered her thoughts and nodded.

"The salute has been almost packed, I will talk to my grandfather in the next few days, and when he nods and agrees, I will immediately take Xiaobao back to Qingzhou."

"To Qingzhou?" Pei Xingyuan rarely took the initiative to ask Mi Xia Yao about her plans before.

He now grasped the point in this conversation, and his expression moved slightly.

"My father sent a message saying that my brother's wedding is coming, and if I have time, it's best to take the time to go to Qingzhou to participate."

"Why haven't I heard you mention your brother before?"

Pei Xingyuan's good-looking sword eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The relationship between the Mi family is complicated in Pei Xingyuan's eyes, although he will deliberately pay attention to Mi Xia Yao's family, but Mi Sanye seems to protect the eldest prince very closely, and it is rare to mention this person in the mouth of the Mi family.

Talking about her brother, Mi Xia Yao's eyebrows finally had a faint bright smile.

"His character since he was a child is unusually steady, he has never disdained the fight in the Mi family's house, he followed the foreign businessmen around at a young age, and later returned to Qingzhou with his father to develop his family, and the relationship with the Mi family in the capital is naturally far away, but the relationship with my mother's grandparents will be deeper."

Speaking of her mother, Mi Xia Yao vaguely had a low-pressure emotion.

Pei Xingyuan knows this, Mi Sanye and Mi Sanjie are well-known childhood sweethearts, two loving couples who have no guesses, but the good times don't last long, when she was pregnant with Mi Xia Yao and reborn her, it seemed that her body was not well raised, and she died of illness not long after.

He raised his hand and put it on the back of Mi Xia Yao's hand, and said in a deep voice, "It's good to go back and see at home." ”

In the middle of the conversation, the carriage reached the gate of the courtyard.

Pei Xingyuan had left what he was doing and hurried to the palace, and after he sent Mi Xia Yao back, he returned to Dali Temple without stopping.

As soon as Mi Xia Yao returned to the courtyard, Linglong saw that her wife was back and hurriedly walked up.

"Madam, not long ago, the Chen family sent new news, saying that Mrs. Chen was claustrophobic in the house under the anger of Lord Chen, and Miss Chen couldn't say that she would be able to get out in three days."

"Then convey it to the gatekeeper and tell them that if they see Chen Xi coming, they will let people in directly."

Mi Xia Yao was surprised that things were so neat in the palace, and seeing that everything was on the right track, she relaxed a little.

She had just sat on the Luohan bed when she looked sideways and saw that there was no one outside to take care of the pomegranate tree that had become a dead branch.

Suddenly I remembered something.

"Song Qiao, get on the carriage again, and let's go out again."

"Where are you going?" Song Qiao was stunned for a moment.

Mi Xia Yao pointed to the pomegranate tree.

The pomegranate originally symbolized the meaning of many sons, which just reminded Mi Xia Yao that she still had one more thing to deal with before leaving the capital.

"Go see Lin Miao."

I heard that Duan Honglin had been missing for a long time, and Lin Miao had no foothold in the capital as a woman, but I heard that she had recently moved to the slums in the capital because of her poor life.

She went over to see how pitiful Lin Miao was now, and took the opportunity to inquire about the news of Duan Honglin in her mouth.

Mi Xia Yao always felt that Duan Honglin was not like the kind of person who escaped because of failure, that person must have some bad intentions and was ready to fight back......

In the interval between Song Qiao going to prepare the carriage, Mi Xia Yao subconsciously knocked on the long table, and her mind was intermittently recalling and inferring something.

Unconsciously looked at the shelf not far away, where there were a few dowry boxes brought from Jingzhou City.

Her eyes paused slightly.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind!

"Duan Honglin, Jingzhou City, Three Highnesses......"

When did he have a relationship with the Third Prince!? Mi Xia Yao's brows furrowed suddenly, she strung these keywords together, and her eyes suddenly flashed with cold emotions.

Pei Xingyuan said that the Rong family recently found out about the investment case in Jingzhou City, and they wanted to use this case to completely suppress the Xu family and the prince. How could they suddenly turn to this old account accurately...... That must have been Duan Honglin's full offer.

Mi Xia Yao took the hat and took the carriage arranged by Song Qiao to the slum.

This is the original capital of His Majesty for his honest image, specially set up a hundred courtyards, in order to accommodate the poor people who changed overnight in the capital.

Later, gradually, this place became a slum for the people of the capital to satirize.

She stepped into this area with a hat, and there were many decadent people who had no ideals of life lying on the ground in the courtyard.

The mother-in-law she brought with her, Kong Wu, was forcefully guarding her side, and the group walked around the slum.

Finally, in the corner, Mi Xia Yao finally found Lin Miao, who was curled up in the corner of the wall, and her stomach was out of shape.

Shadows blocked in front of Lin Miao, and Mi Xia Yao slightly opened the corner of the hat, revealing a cold half of her face.

Lin Miao met her indifferent gaze half-asleep and half-awake.

"You...... You! Are you going to come to me to settle accounts, I, I don't have any contact with Duan Honglin anymore! ”
