The crown prince Li Qian said with a nervous face: "The news that Xuan Yingwei found out that half a month ago, near the village at the foot of the mountain of Huguo Temple, there seems to be traces of Pei You's haunting. ”

Pei Fumo leaned back against the chair, tapped his knees with his fingers, and sneered: "It seems that the corpse is really a trick he released." ”

It was so coincidental that his facial features were blurred by the blood, and the birthmark on his right foot was smashed by a boulder.

Li Qian said angrily: "He was able to come up with this trick, presumably because he knew that there were secret guards searching for him and wanting to take his life, so he kept hiding in the dark and did not show up." ”

Pei Fumo said: "There is no news from the third prince, and he probably can't contact the third prince." ”

"In any case, find him as soon as possible, and you must not let him return to the Hou Mansion." After Li Qian finished speaking, he ordered the secret guard to appear and order the matter to continue.

Pei Fumo stood up, dusted off his robe, and stared at the branches and flowers blooming on the trees outside the courtyard for a long time.

Finally, he said, "Cousin, don't you really want Princess Jiayue to come back?" ”

Li Qian's face changed slightly, "What can you do?" ”

————————

The days passed for two days in a row, and Pei Fumo still did not come to the hot spring villa.

Even Pei Lingxuan felt weird, and when she saw Jiang Suqing frowning like this, she said, "Maybe it's because he's been too busy with official business recently, so he can't find time to come." ”

This hot spring Zhuangzi is two hours away from Chang'an, if you come by horseback quickly, it will take an hour, rush over every night, and rush back before dawn, which is indeed very time-consuming.

Jiang Suqing also understood.

She just always had an extremely uneasy feeling in her heart, panicked, as if something big was about to happen.

Even today's weather seemed to verify her panic, and in the evening, it suddenly rained heavily.

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down on the small saplings in the courtyard.

This rainstorm is comparable to the one that had an accident at Huguo Temple last month.

Tang Su also became rare and serious, he came over in the rain and advised: "Don't go out at night, stay in the house well, and seal the doors and windows tightly." ”

After telling these words, he was still not at ease, so he personally went to inspect the house where Jiang Suqing and Pei Lingxuan lived, checked all the doors and windows, and confirmed that there was no problem, which made him feel a little relieved.

At night, Pei Lingxuan went back to her house.

Jiang Suqing sat by the window, listening to the sound of the pouring rain outside, the loud ticking sound seemed to beat her nervous heart, and her heart was so fast that it seemed to be about to jump out.

The rain also fell in the city.

Left Army Administration.

Pei Fumo stood by the window with his hands in his hands, listening to the sound of the rain, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

A sentence is still echoing in his ears: Pei You is still alive.

What did she mean by what Jiang Suqing said when she was hangover a few days ago, and she apologized to him?

At this time, countless thoughts frequently echoed in his mind.

Could it be that she knew a long time ago that Pei You was not dead?

Once the seeds of this suspicion are planted, they will grow wildly.

What if, in fact, she knows everything?

Pei Fumo's face suddenly became heavier, his heart was like a boulder, and his breathing was disordered, and this panic was so flustered that he couldn't grasp it became more and more obvious.

Why did she suddenly propose to go to the hot spring mountain resort to recuperate?

The mother only said that the eldest sister needed a quiet environment to recuperate, why did she take the initiative to propose the hot spring villa?

At this time, his heart was constantly popping up some conjectures that he found incredible.

At this time, Xuan Yingwei appeared in the house and replied, "Shizi, there is a trace of Pei You." ”

Pei Fumo turned around, his face sinking like water: "Where is it?" ”

Xuan Yingwei took out an ink-colored jade pendant from his arms and said, "My subordinates found this ink-colored jade pendant in the river near the hot spring villa somewhere, and Pei You's name was engraved on the back. ”

When the ink-colored jade pendant was exposed in front of his eyes, Pei Fumo felt that his heart felt like a sudden throbbing, and he felt an unprecedented impact, and he took a few steps back unsteadily.

Xuan Yingwei was surprised: "Shizi? ”

The atmosphere in the room sank, Pei Fumo stood up straight and walked over, and said coldly: "Give me the jade pendant." ”

"Yes."

Pei Fumo took the jade pendant and looked at it for a long time.

Xuan Yingwei didn't notice anything yet, and said: "This jade pendant is well-made, it must be an extremely precious gift, my subordinates have been fortunate to see this kind of black jade, there are very few black jade in this world, it is almost difficult to find, such a noble jade pendant must be Pei Dagongzi's." ”

Is it.

Pei Fumo chuckled: "Do you think this jade pendant looks good?" ”

Xuan Yingwei kept his head down and replied, "It's a delicate and special jade pendant. ”

Pei Fumo answered softly: "That's right, it's still a unique jade pendant in this world." ”

Xuan Yingwei continued to reply: "That hot spring Zhuangzi, the subordinates haven't found out which place it is for the time being, please give the prince another half a day......"

"No need, I know where."

Pei Fumo strode out with a cold face and called Zhou Yan over, "Prepare the horse, I want to go out of the city." ”

Zhou Yan was surprised: "Lord Shizi, it is still raining heavily, maybe there will be thunder and lightning later, and the road must be extremely dangerous." ”

Pei Fumo looked at him expressionlessly, "I said prepare the horse." ”

Zhou Yan suddenly shuddered, he had followed Shizi for many years, and he had never seen such hatred and coldness in Shizi's eyes, as if if if he did not obey, blood would immediately splash on the scene.

**

The rain continued to rain, dripping from the window and splashing into the house.

Jiang Suqing stood by the window, her clothes wet from the rain.

An Xia hurriedly came over and closed the window tightly, and said bitterly: "Madam, go and rest, it's really raining heavily tonight." ”

Jiang Suqing walked around the house uneasily, and said helplessly: "Anxia, I can't sleep, I am very panicked in my heart." I always felt like something was going to happen. ”

Anxia thought that it was raining too much, and she was afraid, so she comforted: "It's okay madam, just wait for the rain to pass." ”

Jiang Suqing shook his head eagerly, "No, I have a hunch, my heart has been beating extremely fast since the night. ”

Did Pei Xiaojiu have an accident? He hasn't come over for a few days, maybe something happened to him?

She was so confused that she couldn't do it, as if she was about to stir up some earth-shattering waves, and she couldn't calm down at all.

Anxia had no choice but to open the window a little more and said, "Okay, Madame will sit here and listen to the sound of the rain, and she will be sleepy for a while." ”

Jiang Suqing sat by the window, hugging his knees tightly.

Sitting by the window with the window open, what is the difference between this and rain?

An Xia couldn't worry about it, but seeing her so abnormal, it was really hard to persuade her.

Jiang Xuqing listened to the sound of the rain, but he still couldn't sleep for a long time, and his whole person was as irritable as an ant on a hot pot.

In the end, she got up and went out, looking at the rain under the eaves of the door, constantly hoping that the rain would stop soon and the sky would soon light up.

As soon as it was dawn, she hurried back to see Pei Xiaojiu.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to sleep.

The hot spring villa with a torrential rain was peaceful at night, and nothing could be heard except the sound of the rain, Jiang Suqing leaned against the pillars, counting the hours restlessly.

At this point, there seems to be a light approaching in front of us.

She narrowed her eyes and felt someone in her cloak and carrying a night light coming towards her.

She couldn't tell who it was.

Just as he was about to find Anxia, a thunderbolt flashed, and the light and shadow passed by, which happened to illuminate the face of the person who came.

She clearly saw that the person hidden under the cloak was Pei You, who had been missing for many days.

Jiang Suqing was stunned for a moment, standing stupidly in place, looking at the figure and unable to move for a long time.

But the figure didn't seem to be coming towards this place, he stood there with a wrinkled white face, as if his legs and feet were a little inconvenient.

Pei You scolded secretly, but he didn't expect this leg injury to be so serious, and after touching the water, it hurt so much that he couldn't walk an inch.

didn't care if Jiang Suqing saw him anymore, so he could only go back in embarrassment.

The blood on Jiang Suqing's face faded in an instant, and it turned white.

When the figure was completely gone, she hurried back into the house.

An Xia saw Jiang Suqing rushing in in a panic, as if there were jackals and cheetahs chasing her behind her, and said in surprise: "Madam, where have you been?" The dress was soaking wet. ”

Jiang Suqing's eyes widened, her mind was so confused that she couldn't listen to anything now.

She hurriedly changed into embroidered shoes, turned around to get the oil-paper umbrella at the door, and kept muttering in a delirious voice: "I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back." ”

Her legs were still trembling faintly, her hand holding the oil-paper umbrella was unsteady, her expression seemed to be crazy, she couldn't see or hear anything, and her mind was full of only one sentence.

She wants to leave here, and she can't let Pei Xiaojiu see it.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to explain it.

Before An Xia understood what the situation was, Jiang Suqing had already struggled to break into the night with the oil-paper umbrella that had not yet been fully opened.

It was still pouring rain outside, and she suddenly rushed into the rain curtain and disappeared in an instant.

Anxia was so frightened that her heart almost stopped, "Madame-"

Jiang Suqing ran directly to the entrance of Zhuangzi by instinct.

The guard on duty at the door saw a woman holding an oil-paper umbrella that was not fully opened, and almost the rain was irrigating her, delicate and embarrassed, and he was also startled.

I saw the woman go straight to the stable, and forcibly tried to pull out a horse.

The rain slapped indiscriminately on her face, blurring her vision, and she cried out, "Please, take me back to the Hou Mansion, okay?" ”

The horse couldn't understand what she was saying, so he could only argue with one person and one horse.

The guard had to hurry over and asked, "Mrs. Shizi, what's the matter with you?" ”

The voice of the guard quickly melted into the sound of the rain, Jiang Suqing didn't hear it, and stubbornly wanted to pull the horses.
