Pei Yanli stood in front of the queen and looked at her in shock, as if he doubted the authenticity of these words.

After a while, Pei Yanli found his voice and said, "What do you mean? You sent people to kill those people."

The queen sneered and said slowly, "I think you have forgotten what you should do. As a prince, you have lived in that Fanye Village for so long. You really deserve to die—"

"If it weren't for my people finding you, you wouldn't know how long you would have hidden. Is this what a prince should do?"

Pei Yanli lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly, "But after all, they are all your subjects, mother. How can you be so careless about their lives!"

The queen narrowed her eyes, sighed, looked at Pei Yanli with disappointment and said, "I thought you knew my methods, but I didn't expect you to be so naive."

Pei Yanli lowered his head and slowly said, "You should look for me. I will come back. So many people have died. Aren't you really afraid that someone will come to look for you in the middle of the night?"

"Be bold!"

The queen casually threw the teacup at Pei Yanli and said, "I am your mother. How dare you say that to me? You must be tired of living."

Pei Yanli took a deep breath and endured the pain in his body.

In fact, what hurts more is his heart. Wang Pingxiu's family saved his life, but they died forever because of him.

He seemed to be the sinner.

Without him, everyone would be alive and well. Without him, they would never be like this. Without him...

The queen looked at Pei Yanli with disappointment, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Pei Yanli was at a loss for a moment. He vowed to avenge those people, but the person in front of him was his mother. What should he do?

The voices and appearances of those people kept echoing in Pei Yanli's mind, and could not be shaken off.

The queen seemed to have guessed his dilemma and slowly said, "Since there is still an orphan girl left, you should take her in as your concubine. This will also be an explanation to her parents."

"There are some people and some things that you shouldn't do. You must never do them, or else you'll end up like this. Do you understand?"

Pei Yanli's hands trembled slightly, and he knelt down, "I will follow your mother's instructions..."

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside, dark clouds gathered, and an even bigger thunderstorm poured down.

The bluestone road in front of the palace was stained with water. The palace maids were busy bringing cloaks to cover Pei Jinan, and hurriedly brought gauze umbrellas to shelter him from the rain.

The maids walked carefully on the wet bluestone slabs to shield Pei Yanli from the rain, holding up gauze umbrellas to protect him from the wind and rain.

The rain brought a fresh smell, and the surface of the lotus pond was rippling due to the flying raindrops, which was refreshing.

The heavy rain soaked the ceiling of the corridor, and the crisp sound of rain hitting the eaves made a pleasant sound. The occasional lightning and thunder added a sense of mystery to the rain.

The palace maids were busy moving tables, mopping the floor, and sweeping the courtyard, making the yard spotless. The palace seemed particularly quiet at this time.

There is an unheard-of fragrance of flowers outside the window, and the smell mixed with rain is intoxicating.

The palace was extremely quiet at this moment, with only the sounds of rain, thunder and laughter.

Listening to all this, Pei Yanli couldn't help but think of the scene that day when rain mixed with blood.

If only those people were still alive.

He was already prepared to return to Beijing, but he was just one step late, just one step late, and so many people's names were ruined.

Pei Yanli calmed himself down and said slowly, "Everyone go down."

The maids looked at each other, at a loss for a moment. It was raining outside and they were afraid that the nobleman would get wet.

But if they don't listen to the noble man, the consequences will be something they can't bear.

In the end, everyone withdrew, leaving only Pei Yanli.

The Queen looked at the people who had returned, and asked with a hint of worry in her voice, "Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Everyone's heads hung even lower.

Pei Yanli was no longer the crown prince a year ago, and everyone in the world knew about it.

But the queen seemed to be kept in the dark and was unwilling to wake up.

But no one dared to say anything. Everyone serving in the Pepper Palace knew what kind of person the Queen was, and she must not be provoked.

They are all a group of blind and deaf people.

Pei Yanli was walking in the corridor. He looked extremely depressed. No one knew what he was thinking. He just walked slowly and slowly.

……

Lin Tingwan, who was outside the palace, soon learned the news.

The news of Pei Yanli entering the palace quickly spread throughout the entire Shangjing City.

Pei Yanli hasn't appeared in front of the public for a long time.

Everyone was very curious about him.

When Lin Tingwan learned the news, she was embroidering a hat for her unborn baby.

One is black and the other is pink, one is for a boy and the other is for a girl.

She didn't know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl, but no matter what it was, it was her treasure and would never be wronged.

You get the best things when you are born.

Thinking of this, Lin Tingwan's movements became more refined.

Just at this moment, Yuzhu came over and brought the news that Pei Yanli had returned.

Lin Tingwan was stunned. She never expected that Pei Yanli, who had disappeared for such a long time, would suddenly appear.

Lin Tingwan slowly said, "Is he in the palace?"

Yuzhu nodded and slowly said, "It is said that she entered the palace a long time ago. She hasn't come out yet and I don't know what she is doing."

Lin Tingwan nodded slowly and stared at the hat in his hand.

"Tell my brother that there is no need to investigate further. Since he is already back, let him do as he pleases."

Yuzhu knelt down quickly and said, "Yes——"

Just as she was about to embroider the bib, Lian Qiao slowly walked in and said, "Princess, Miss Su wants to see you."

"But Hanyan?" Lin Tingwan couldn't help but sound a little puzzled.

Su Hanyan had left Shangjing City for some time, and no one knew where she was. Now she was back.

She couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The news of Pei Yanli's return had just arrived, and Su Hanyan came back as well. This seemed a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

But Lin Tingwan didn't say it in the end. Instead, he said lightly, "In that case, please let Hanyan come in."

"Yes - Princess."

Lian Qiao turned around and walked out quickly.

Not long after, Su Hanyan followed her in.

He was so carefree and relaxed in both movement and stillness, which made Lin Tingwan happy just by looking at him.

But they both have the lives they want, so she can't be said to be envious or anything.

"Meet the Princess of Zhenbei——"
