The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

"Then what do you think I should say?" Yu Tingwan stared at the man who stood up and put on his shirt.

Pei Zhi looked intently into those misty eyes, "You clearly know that I only hope that you will treat me as your husband."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the hickeys on the woman on the couch, and touched them lightly with his fingers, "Just tell the truth."

"Then whether you believe it or not is a completely different matter." Yu Tingwan sarcastically said softly, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for people's hearts, and you will surely be able to see through every lie of mine."

Pei Zhi's breathing was rapid, and he didn't even put on his outer clothes. He went straight outside to the corridor to blow in the wind to calm his mind.

Seeing him leaving, Yu Tingwan went to take a bath. When he came back, he saw him sitting under the window, his expression unusually soft. He couldn't help but slow down and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Wanwan, come here."

She pursed her lips and looked at the man in black clothes not far away. Judging from his clothes, he should have just gone to Xuanshi Hall.

Maybe it was the minister who was summoned late at night.

"I won't touch you." Seeing her hesitate, Pei Zhi whispered, "Come to me."

Yu Tingwan came closer and saw that the dragon embroidered with gold thread on his coat seemed to have changed color. He thought he was dazzled and reached out to touch it, staring blankly at the blood on his fingertips.

"Wanwan, don't be angry." Pei Zhi looked into her eyes and took off his outer shirt, revealing a white middle coat.

She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She took half a step back and saw that the blood-stained middle coat was thrown to the ground. The man in front of her had several messy scars scratched on his heart with a dagger. They looked chaotic, deep and shallow, and were coming out. With blood beads.

"You..." Yu Tingwan was stunned on the spot.

Pei Zhi suddenly stood up, took off the fabric from her upper body, pointed at the mark on her chest, and said with a smile: "It's not very similar, but I am more or less sincere."

"There's one on the back, too. Do you want to take a look?" He looked calm, "I asked Chi Ying to help me in the side hall, but his hands are too clumsy and the painting is too ugly. Don't dislike it."

"I'll call the imperial doctor." Yu Tingwan's face turned pale.

"Just give me medicine." Pei Zhi laughed, "I hurt myself with a dagger late at night. It's not convenient for outsiders to know."

"The medicine from last time has not been used up yet." He said in a relaxed tone, looking down at the woman in front of him.

"Then let Chi Ying come."

"This is the inner hall." Pei Zhi held her hand and said quietly: "Since you like me, why do you avoid me?"

"What did you say?" Yu Tingwan raised his eyes, his ears buzzing, and after calming down, he said, "You are overthinking."

"You said it yourself."

"That's a lie." She lowered her head. The expected anger did not appear, but instead she heard a laugh.

"I always thought that you were so angry because of misunderstandings, but today you were so angry that you finally couldn't help but choked with me, and you didn't mention him at all."

The man's voice was soft and gentle, but Yu Tingwan's expression was ugly, as if he heard something sharp and harsh.

"Wanwan doesn't want to talk to me, not because he's angry, but because he's sad." He sighed and raised his hand to help the woman who was lying limply on the ground.

"Because you treat me as your husband, but I don't believe you and involve others, so that's why it's like this. Over and over again, it's still my fault." Pei Zhi whispered: "After thinking about it, I have to make amends to you, so you can still return the favor. satisfy?"

The sounds in his ears were far and near. Yu Tingwan sat on the edge of the couch, breathing rapidly and clenching his sleeves with his fingers.

She was clearly wearing clothes, but she felt like she had been stripped naked and thrown in front of him. Her whole body had been cut open and examined, and there was no secret that could be hidden from the inside out.

Her face turned red, then gradually became as pale as paper, and she asked, "How do you know that I'm not angry because my innocence is being slandered?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zhi saw a smile on his lips and said, "I wasn't sure before I came in, and then I was sure."

While standing in the corridor, he tried his best to clear away the fog of love and carefully pondered Wanwan's reaction these days.

He didn't want to treat his wife by defrauding the criminal's confession, but he really couldn't accept Yu Tingwan continuing to treat him like this, so he took a gamble.

If the bet was lost, at least Yu Tingwan wouldn't walk away because of his injuries. She had always been soft-hearted.

Fortunately, when she asked the first question, her reaction was enough to explain everything.

Pei Zhi stood there, looking at her quietly, waiting for her to admit it personally.

"You even have to use tricks to confirm other people's affection?" Yu Tingwan trembled all over, "Are you asking me about my feelings, or are you making a false confession?"

Seeing that her reaction was different from what he expected, the smile on Pei Zhi's lips disappeared.

"Wanwan, I-" He suddenly paused and frowned at the soft pillow that hit him.

"I just remembered that it seems that I am on duty tonight." Yu Tingwan calmed down, walked stiffly to the outer hall, and said to the palace attendant: "I am not feeling well, go to the Imperial Medical Office and ask for help."

Ximian sat by the stove in the middle of the night, pondering over ancient prescriptions, and made a "hiss" sound from time to time. Just when his head was full of doubts, the palace servants from Jiaofang Hall came, and brought a chariot specially.

Thinking that something big had happened, Xi Mian hurriedly walked into the inner hall and saw Pei Zhi sitting under the window, silent, with blood on his clothes. He was shocked and said, "Is there an assassin in the palace?"

When he saw the injuries on His Majesty's body, Xi Mian's expression became subtle, and suddenly he heard the young man's cold tone: "Nothing will happen tonight."

"I understand." Xi Mian just agreed, but accidentally glanced at the scar on his right shoulder and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, why didn't you use scar-removing ointment for this injury?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Mian seemed to hear something moving on the couch and immediately fell silent. He thought the queen was not in the inner hall.

"I forgot to use it." Pei Zhi replied, "It's not a big deal."

"Your Majesty is right." Xi Mian responded quickly and hurriedly left after treating the wound.

When there were only two people in the inner hall, Pei Zhi opened the bed curtain and looked down at the woman on the couch, pretending to sleep again.

He hugged Yu Tingwan from behind, noticed that she was trying to break away, and said softly: "The wound hurts a little."

"Wanwan, you promised to accompany me to Xuanshi Palace tomorrow, do you still count?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, he didn't ask any more questions, so he probably didn't count.

At Yinshi, there was a rustling sound on the couch, and Pei Zhi stood up, not going outside to change into court clothes for the first time.

The scratches on his body were not as deep as the whip marks he received from Pei Xu, so they were nothing to him.

He was already in a very bad mood today, but a few indifferent people in the court made a fuss about this year's examination questions and impeached the Marquis of Pingyang.

Yu Xiuyun looked calm, but those who impeached him were blushing, and they had no choice but to take risks after running out of resources.

After going to court, as soon as Marquis Pingyang returned home, a letter from Pei Zhi arrived, containing only a few words.

After Yu Xiuyun read it, he frowned, then sneered and burned the letter. His Majesty wanted to hand over Que Wen to him, saying that everything was decided by Pingyang Marquis, and threw the hot potato out of the way.

The young man who had not yet changed out of his official uniform was sitting in the study, his hand holding the cup turned white, thinking of the time when he was plotted by the King of Wei in Jingzhou.

Since there is no personal relationship between his sister and Que Wen, His Majesty is naturally happy to wipe the blood off his hands to please Wan Wan. The only trouble is that even if there is no personal relationship, Que Wen is an insider. According to His Majesty's temperament, he naturally wants to get rid of it quickly.

Your Majesty knew that if the Yiyi Guards did not take action, the Hou Mansion Shadow Guards would take action to prevent anyone from catching his sister.

Yu Xiuyun was so angry that he felt dizzy. He suspected that Pei Zhi had what he had in mind today when he told him about this matter.

After a while, he drank a cup of cold tea to calm his mind, and then he remembered something.

Your Majesty was previously convinced that his sister had feelings for someone else, so why did you suddenly know that this matter was false?
