After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

"Princess Liyang must have told you that I was poisoned by Yuwen Lian, which led to my downfall. But in fact, it is not like that."

"I have known Yuwen Lian for a long time, and I used to be his adviser."

Pei Yu recalled the past, but his young voice was full of vicissitudes.

This surprised Zhao Ge. If Pei Yu was Yu Wenlian's strategist, why had she never seen him in Chai'an?

"How is that possible? You were a doctor at the beginning..."

Pei Yu smiled bitterly and continued, "It happened before I became a doctor. It was so long ago that I can hardly remember it. After all, it happened in my last life."

Zhao Ge only felt a 'boom' in his head and stared at him blankly, "You too..."

"Yes, I was reborn as well." Pei Yu gave her an affirmative look.

"In my previous life, I was a counselor in the Eastern Palace. I advised Yuwen Lian and helped him eliminate those princes who coveted the throne. But I never thought that he would contradict the emperor because of Empress Wen'an and be imprisoned in the Eastern Palace. Facing Yuwen Qi's several frame-ups, I was powerless to fight back and became more decadent and violent until there was no day for him to turn things around."

"At that time, the retainers who had served the Eastern Palace left and dispersed. Some went to serve other princes, and some lived in seclusion in the mountains. I was the only one who stayed with him."

Zhao Ge had never known these things. In her previous life, her vision was only focused on the small piece of land of Prince Jing's Mansion, and she didn't care about the outside world.

Therefore, after hearing this, she couldn't help but become curious, "Then why are you so loyal to him?"

"Because he was kind to me." Pei Yu's eyes were deep. "When I came to this world, I had no relatives, was a slave, and was beaten by others. It was Yuwen Lian who saved me and gave me the opportunity to succeed."

Therefore, even today, when he mentioned Yuwen Lian, his tone was still full of respect.

"So, even though I knew he had poisoned me, I didn't expose him. In this life, we can't be king and subject, but I still want to remember his kindness."

Zhao Ge whispered: "So you left simply because you didn't want to conflict with him."

"I know he admires you, and I don't want to compete with him. Besides, your heart is not with us, what's the point of competing?"

Pei Yu has always been open-minded about matters of the heart.

Mutual love is a blessing, but unrequited love is common in the world.

When he found out that Zhao Ge liked Yuan Jinglie, he simply suppressed the emotion in his heart that he dared not show.

"Then... why do you say that you were punished by God? You just didn't continue to serve Yuwen Lian." Zhao Ge still didn't understand.

Pei Yu was silent for a while, with an expression of indescribable emotion on his face.

"Because in my previous life, I had met Yuan Jinglie before."

"what?!"

"At that time, I felt sorry for him, so I asked my men to send him to my hometown to be adopted. I don't know exactly how he became after that, but at least he was well fed and well clothed."

Pei Yusi seemed to be very regretful when he thought of this. "But in this life, I didn't go to see him, so he met you, and that's what happened later. I've been thinking... cough cough cough... thinking, if I hadn't changed the trajectory of this life, would Nan Chu have not perished so quickly?"

"Because of me, I caused the demise of a country and also led to the establishment of Shun State. How can I not be punished by God?"

After hearing these words, Zhao Ge did not say anything immediately, but lowered his head slightly.

The sunlight outside came through the window and hit her delicate skin. She had a deep expression on her face.

"impossible."

She confirmed every word: "In your previous life, you were punished by Yuwen Qi and imprisoned in a separate courtyard, and your entire clan was implicated. At that time, in order to demonstrate his power, Yuwen Qi ordered all court officials and concubines to witness the execution of the 'traitor's' family members."

"Your brother, sister, mother, and even the maids and servants from your old home are all here. If Alie was really in your home, he would not be able to escape."

What's more, after her death in her previous life, she saw with her own eyes that A Lie committed suicide for her.

Zhao Ge said this, leaned forward, and stared at him: "So, you were lying to me. You were not punished by God because of this, but... because you helped me, right?"

As Zhao Ge said this, his voice trembled.

Pei Yu's expression suddenly turned cold, and he abruptly pulled back his hand, "Of course not! Don't make assumptions without authorization, I... cough cough cough..."

Before he could finish his words, he started coughing violently.

"What's wrong?" Princess Liyang rushed in and knocked Zhaoge away. "I told you to take good care of him and don't irritate him."

As he spoke, he brought a glass of water to Pei Yu. Pei Yu stopped coughing and breathed weakly, "Li Yang, you stay with me."

Li Yang was flattered: "Oh, sure!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Zhao Ge proudly. See, she still holds a lot of weight in Pei Yu's heart!

Zhao Ge went out in a daze.

For the next two days, Zhao Ge was unable to see Pei Yu again.

Princess Liyang sent people to guard outside, just like protecting her own child, to prevent her from seeing him.

"Pei Yu doesn't want to see you, you can pack up and go back to Fengjing!" Li Yang was arrogant. God knows how much frustration she had felt in the past because of this woman.

Now that she can finally take revenge, she feels so happy.

Zhao Ge just remained silent and turned into the kitchen with the bought vegetables.

Princess Liyang punched the cotton and became even angrier.

The next day, Zhaoge went out to buy groceries as usual.

She hadn't seen Pei Yu for a few days and she felt very suffocated. That incident had been weighing on her mind, almost suffocating her.

But Li Yang kept the door tightly closed, as she was afraid that if she asked Pei Yu, he would get emotional.

She could only bear the worry alone and couldn't even eat.

When Zhao Ge returned to the courtyard that day, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from the courtyard.

"Pei Yu!!!"

Then, two imperial doctors came out of the room, sighing repeatedly.

The food in Zhaoge's arms fell, his legs went weak, and he stumbled into the room.

Princess Liyang was lying on the bed, holding Pei Yu's hand tightly, "How could you just leave like this! Pei Yu! Wake up!"

Zhao Ge stared blankly at the lifeless face on the bed, and fell to the ground unable to control himself any longer.

Pei Yu died just like that.

She didn't even have the chance to see him for the last time.

Zhao Ge shed tears silently, and the pain in her heart made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

...

Pei Yu's funeral was held the next day.

He had no relatives or friends in Dongdu, and in fact not many people came to pay their respects, but Princess Liyang still followed the custom and kept his body for three days.

Two thin women dressed in plain white kept watch for him.

Three days later, Pei Yu was buried behind the house in this small courtyard.

This place was chosen by Pei Yu himself.

Li Yang had prepared several mansions in the city for him, but he didn't want any of them. He just wanted to live in this place where he could live without any disputes.

Then, he would also be willing to rest here forever.

After burying Pei Yu, Princess Liyang asked Zhaoge: "When will you return to Fengjing? Come to the Princess's Mansion to find me and I will take you back."

Zhao Ge shook her head: "I'm not going back. I want to observe mourning for him for three years."

Li Yang was startled, then whispered: "Okay."

She looked far ahead, "Before he left, he kept shouting your name. Then I realized that he was just pretending not to want to see you."

"I really envy Pei Yu for liking you so much. Now that he's gone, I'll do my best to help you."

Li Yang walked away and waved to her, "If you have anything, come to the Princess's Mansion to find me."

...

Zhaoge settled down in the small courtyard.

She continued to live a good life, just like when Pei Yu was still alive.

She had not touched Pei Yu's bed. When the weather was good, she wanted to tidy up his bedding and take it outside to dry in the sun.

But when I picked up the pillow, I saw a letter underneath.

Zhao Ge was stunned for a moment, and her intuition told her to pick up the envelope. Sure enough, there were three words written on the envelope: To Zhao Ge.

Pei Yu actually wrote her a letter!

Zhao Ge was surprised and happy, and quickly opened the letter. It was obvious that Pei Yu had written the letter in an extremely weak state. The handwriting was faint and he seemed to have no strength left at the end.

But Zhaoge could still recognize the original text of the letter——
