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

"Even if His Highness speaks from the bottom of his heart, it doesn't matter. It can be considered the truth." Yu Tingwan's tone was filled with impatience, as if she didn't want to dwell on this topic. "So, does Your Highness want to send me to Aurous Hill?"

"What if I think so?" After Pei Zhi finished speaking, he carefully examined Yu Tingwan's reaction.

Seeing that she didn't look ashamed, his face suddenly darkened.

"You want to leave Chang'an so much?" Pei Zhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't want to be a concubine or a wife of the Yuan family, but she doesn't resist committing herself to the Prince of Liang?"

Yu Tingwan was shocked to realize that Pei Zhi didn't want to send her to Jinling. Didn't this man say that everything in the world can be used as a bargaining chip?

"The Prince of Liang is lustful and has many concubines in the palace. How long can you live in Prince Liang's palace?" Pei Zhi's eyes were dark and unclear. "Or do you think you can marry the Marquis of Jiangling by going to Jinling? He is just a hostage, working for Prince Liang. It’s just a mouthful.”

"The Marquis of Jiangling is only fifteen years old. What are you thinking about?" When it came to Ah Xun, Yu Tingwan couldn't help but interrupt him, "Your Highness has shown you many kindnesses to me. I just don't want to accept your kindness. It has nothing to do with others."

"Do you really have nothing to do with others?" Pei Zhi pointed at the hairpin ring on Yu Tingwan's bun, "I can give away my things as random gifts, but Fu Xun's jade pendant is kept well. Is it because Fu Xun is too special? Does your Majesty hate me too much?"

"You..." Yu Tingwan was speechless for a moment.

Pei Zhi had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold, and he said softly: "I remember that when we first met, the empress was still very afraid of me. In less than a year, she became more straightforward and unwilling to express her feelings. ? But you accepted it after all, how should we settle this account?"

Yu Tingwan was stunned by what he said. When she faced Pei Zhi, she was indeed not as cautious as when they first met.

Even though she subconsciously refuted the other person's statement "The King of Wei is interested in you" over and over again, the other person was not angry the first time he spoke out of bounds. After that, he became more unrestrained, and even she herself was not aware of this subtle change. .

"What kind of reward does His Highness want? It's for the deal with Yuan Ziyu, but now Yuan Ziyu can't even step into the palace."

Yu Tingwan raised his eyes and looked directly at Pei Zhi, "Now, Lujiang County doesn't want it either. I'm afraid I can't afford the reward you want."

Pei Zhi stared at her and said, "How do you know you can't afford it?"

Her breathing became faster, and she didn't know how to ask those words. She couldn't make up her mind, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you...pleased with me?"

Yu Tingwan hoped that Pei Zhi would deny that he was really interested in her, which would be called despair. She even hoped that Pei Zhi would consider all her special features out of interests.

King Wei is not a puppet emperor, nor is he Yuan Ziyu. If you fall in love with this kind of person, you will never be able to break away from him for the rest of your life. Even if you are tired of him, you can only be trapped in the deep palace.

Pei Zhi had been taught the art of imperial thinking since he was a child, and the thoughts of the old foxes in the court could be seen clearly, not to mention Yu Tingwan.

The hint of resistance she revealed made him silent for a long time, then she laughed as if she was self-deprecating and sarcastic: "Is your Majesty really thinking that she is like a fish and a duck, and that even a man will fall under your skirt? Beauty and withered bones, in this way. In other words, there is no difference.”

"So those hairpins and secret guards-"

"Xu Shichen has never been married, and there is no princess to advise him. He often goes out of his way, which makes the empress misunderstood." He interrupted Yu Tingwan, moved his eyes away from her face and said, "In the entire palace, everyone is I have the ears and eyes of the minister, and I also have them in Yilan Palace. There is nothing special about them. As for the other things, I don’t have any female relatives in my family, so I just give them to you at will."

Yu Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief, her joy overshadowing her embarrassment, and she said happily: "I am overly concerned about this, please don't mind it, Your Highness."

"It doesn't matter, I won't take such a trivial matter to my heart." Pei Zhi was pricked by the corners of her raised lips, and said softly: "What I told the empress today about Jiang Linghou was just to warn her not to leave. He's too close."

"The King of Liang is old, how do you know that the Marquis of Jiangling has no ambitions." Pei Zhi approached her ear and whispered, "Maybe he will try his best to take you away to please that old guy Fu Xing."

Yu Tingwan could feel his breath, which made her ears itch. After forcing herself to calm down, she smiled and said: "Your Highness is joking, how can the Marquis of Jiangling compare to you? How can he take away a big man from Chang'an?" Living people.”

"Really?" Pei Zhi stared into her eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people.

Yu Tingwan was worried, maybe the King of Wei knew about his brother's plan, when Chen Xi's voice suddenly came from outside.

"My lord, the governor of Bingzhou just bit his tongue and committed suicide." Chen Xi said hesitantly, "What should we do with his family?"

"Gu has sent people to Bingzhou." Pei Zhi opened the door and walked past Chen Xi, "Take care of the body and don't let anyone say anything that Gu doesn't like to hear."

Pei Zhi turned to look at Yu Tingwan, with a gentle look on his face, "Your Majesty, I will go first. Please forgive me if there is anything rude today."

Chen Xi looked blankly at Yu Tingwan who came out with Pei Zhi. His expression was complicated for a moment, and he saluted, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

"Commander Chen, you're fine." Yu Tingwan nodded slightly, looked at the bright moon waiting outside the hall, and said with a smile: "Why are you standing there in the wind? Let's go."

On the way back to Yilan Palace, she recalled the conversation just now, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, always wondering if Pei Zhi knew something.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you wanted to go to Cangchi to relax?" Jiaoyue suddenly said.

Yu Tingwan glanced at Gaoyue's expression, remained silent for a moment and said, "Indeed, I won't go back to Yilan Palace for now."

When the sedan chair stopped by Cangchi, Yu Tingwan and Jiao Yue walked side by side. The palace people who were left behind in the distance were not surprised. This noble concubine never paid attention to dignity.

Walking to a stone beside Cangchi, Yu Tingwan paused and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

This place is wide open, and there is no place for the hidden guards to hide. Seeing no one around, the bright moon said: "My dear, I was in the side hall just now. Did King Wei say something to scare you?"

"Is it obvious?" Yu Tingwan was startled.

"I can't tell anything at first. You frowned from time to time on the way." Jiaoyue is very familiar with that look. Dragon Slayer Guard will lie to him before killing someone, and the other party will often have that suspicious and unbelievable look.

Jiao Yue did not hesitate to sell the news about her old employer, "When the King of Wei was still a general with five senses, Dragon Guard was interrogating the prefect of Guangling in the water prison. For three days and three nights, he could not open his mouth. The King of Wei went there in person and did not torture him. , deceived the news."

"The King of Wei is suspicious and provocative. There are some words he says just to see your reaction." Bright Moon stared at the sparkling water with clear eyes and murmured: "Don't worry, Madam, he is a human being and not a human being." God, he cannot know everything.”
