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

Mr. Baopu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. His face became increasingly ugly and gray.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "I think back then, when Yu Xin was by the princess's side, he repeatedly hindered the late king from achieving great things. Now, I don't have much time left. I only look forward to the day when my lord can achieve great things -"

"I have never neglected political affairs." Pei Zhi interrupted the old man in front of him, "Besides, the princess is smart and virtuous, how can it hinder the great cause."

The old man choked up again. He believed in intelligence and virtuousness was open to question. But when Pei Zhi's words reached this point, what else could he do? He could only respond with a few words and leave in a hurry.

Yu Tingwan was alone in the study room. He remembered the sudden change in Mr. Pu's eyes just now. He was confused for a moment and slowly walked to the desk. He lowered his head and saw a corner of the booklet exposed.

Thinking she was still in a dream, she blinked and took a half step back, her cheeks turning red.

There were footsteps behind him. When Yu Tingwan turned around, he saw Pei Zhi standing behind him.

There was no embarrassment on his face, and he pinched her red earlobe, "Have you seen it?"

"How can you look at such a thing?" Yu Tingwan thought of the old man's eyes just now, and his face turned pale. "Did Mr. Baopu just talk about me?"

Any veteran of the Pei family would think she was wrong if they saw this book.

Yu Tingwan's eyes turned red, "He must think that I..."

She pursed her lips, with tears on the verge of falling, "I think I am charming and charming the Lord."

Pei Zhi didn't expect that she would cry. He pulled her into his arms and wiped away the tears from her eyes, "How could it be? He only said that he was ashamed of the late king. He never mentioned you."

Pei Zhi said with a smile: "Don't cry. Wan Wan just wants to stay away from me and abide by the etiquette. How can he think you are charming and seducing the Lord?"

"really?"

"Of course it's true." He vowed to comfort the woman in his arms, "Don't always think nonsense."

"You're not going to lie to me again, are you?" Yu Tingwan was dubious, "He looked at me coldly before leaving. He clearly blamed me."

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment, "When the late king was here, Mr. Baopu didn't like the counselors around his mother very much. Maybe he knew your identity, so he looked at you that way."

He sighed and reached out to smooth Yu Tingwan's hair on her temples. "Wanwan is fine. No one will blame you. It's just the grudges of the previous generation."

Not knowing when Mr. Baopu would come next, Pei Zhi still warned: "He has a weird temper. Next time you see him, you should stay away from him."

"Okay." Yu Tingwan lowered his eyes in agreement.

Pei Zhi must be lying to her. Yu Tingwan has been lied to many times, and he can figure out some tricks.

Every time he lied to her, he stared straight into her eyes seemingly sincerely, but looked away when he told the truth.

Pei Zhi was too busy today. He usually returned to Guanjuyuan at dusk, but today he was delayed until night.

Seeing that Yu Tingwan was sleepy, he stood up and said, "I'll take you back."

"You've finished handling the government affairs." Yu Tingwan glanced at the desk, and it was clear that there was still a lot of trouble.

"No, I'm afraid I won't come back until late at night when you fall asleep."

Pei Jing wrote a bunch of things eloquently and sent them to his desk from Youzhou. The pile was like a hill. He planned to approve it tomorrow, but he had to go to the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow.

"Why bother? I'll just go back by myself."

"No." Before he finished speaking, Pei Zhi refused.

"You are so close to Guanjuyuan, so nothing will happen." Yu Tingwan opened her eyes wide, not sure what he was thinking, "Since you are so busy, why waste time anymore."

No matter what she said, Pei Zhi didn't change his mind. After sending her back to Guanjuyuan, he sat in the inner room and waited.

Yu Tingwan came back after taking a bath. When she saw him, she was shocked and said, "Are you really planning to wait until I fall asleep before leaving?"

"nature."

Pei Zhi was calm and calm, as if he was not worried about the pile of memorials at all. He looked at her and said, "If you go to bed earlier, I can leave earlier."

Yu Tingwan's last thought before falling asleep was whether he was really that busy today.

There was a rustling sound in the darkness, and she felt a cold feeling on her wrist as if she was wrapped in something.

But she was too sleepy, her eyelids were too heavy to lift up, and her brain was too dull to think about what it was.

Yu Tingwan woke up early, and before he reached Yin hour, he started up, clutching his chest and gasping for air. The maid heard the noise and came in hurriedly, asking what happened.

In the bed curtains, Yu Tingwan used the light of the candle in the hand of the maid to see the delicate and cold gold bracelet on her wrist. Along the thin and tough chain, she did not see the other end of the bracelet, only saw the chain tied to the head of the bed.

He was filled with anger for a moment, no wonder he had to wait for her to fall asleep before leaving.

Because of this thing, she had a nightmare one night, dreaming of a big snake crawling up her arm, and she felt a chill all over her body.

There was a very gentle sound of footsteps outside, as if they were afraid of disturbing someone.

Suddenly the footsteps stopped, "Are you awake?"

Pei Zhi walked to the couch, leaned over and opened the gold bracelet, pursing his lips. He was not as nervous as when he was first discovered, nor was he as calm as he was when he was discovered.

He caught a glimpse of a thin layer of sweat on the forehead of the woman on the couch, "Is this a nightmare? I'm going to court, so you can sleep a little longer."

"I don't want to wear this." Yu Tingwan looked at the bracelet in his hand with some annoyance, "It's just because of it that I'm obsessed with it."

Pei Zhi turned his head and glanced out the window. The thick night had already been diluted and it was almost dawn. He ordered others to put away the objects in his hands.

Before leaving, he lifted the bed curtains and saw that she was sleeping soundly. The man in official uniform sighed and removed her hand from her chest.

After sleeping, Yu Tingwan felt much more awake. When the maid was dressing her up, she took out the red jade ring and put it on.

Pei Zhi sat aside and waited for her, and saw the maid bringing her a fairy skirt and saying, "Change into a light Hu suit."

The Hufu has narrow sleeves, which is convenient for riding and shooting.

Yu Tingwan had never worn Hu clothes. He looked down at his boots and sighed, "No wonder Dragon Slayer Guards all wear Hu clothes. They are indeed much lighter."

When Pei Zhi took her to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Yu Tingwan was stunned at first. What she saw here was an ordinary Zhuangzi of nobles, and she could see tenant farmers plowing the fields.

The road in front of him was an ordinary field road, which a carriage could not pass. After Yu Tingwan got off the car, a man dressed as a tenant came over and brought Pei Zhi a horse.

The tall maroon horse seemed to have a bad temper, but when he saw Pei Zhi, he suddenly became docile.

"The road is long or short." Pei Zhi seemed to think of something and suddenly laughed, "There are Dragon Slaying Guards here. If I carry you on my back, I'm afraid you won't be happy either."

Pei Zhi touched the horse gently and said, "My mounts are all too hot-tempered, but this one is better."

"I can't ride a horse."

"I know." Pei Zhi looked at her and was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll be with you."

Yu Tingwan finally understood why she had to wear Hufu, and she was carried onto the horse by him, her back pressed against the chest of the person behind her, and she stared down at the thick, shiny brown mane.

Afraid that she would be startled, the horse moved very slowly, with only the breeze blowing by her ears. The scenery in front of her eyes gradually changed, and a house suddenly appeared in front of her, surrounded by walls built with stones mixed with glutinous rice, like a small city wall.

Pei Zhi dismounted, stretched out his hand to hold Yu Tingwan down, and told Chi Ying: "Go through the side door."
