ma'am, calm down

Mrs. Shizi's bedroom is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and two small beds in the outside room, for the women who are waiting for the night watch to sleep.There is a big bed in the inner room, which is filled with wedding candies and cakes and covered with twelve embroidered quilts. It is the place where the prince and his wife rest.

A man's wife has a special status, and there can be no young maidservants accompanying him, and they must be women over 30 years old.Thirteen's companion is Zhao Qingxue, the steady woman who mentioned him just now, and all the maids call her "Aunt Zhao".At this moment, she and the three women stood at the door with their heads bowed, waiting for orders.

Ye Peiqing and Shisan looked at each other, with a slightly arrogant smile on the corner of their mouths.

There was a sudden silvery white flash outside the window, illuminating Thirteen's thin face, and then the darkness returned in an instant, and then, there was a sound of heaven and earth cracking from the sky.

"It's raining!" Several women rushed to close the windows when they saw this.The candles in the bedroom were originally brightly lit, but they flickered one after another suddenly, and a strong wind came in, carrying moist air, and immediately blew out a few candles.

In contrast to the violent storm outside and the warmth and fragrance in the bridal chamber, the atmosphere is particularly ambiguous and charming.

Even if the wife is weak, after all, it is the wedding night, there must be something to do.

Ye Peiqing waved away the crowd, pondered for a while, and finally smiled at Shisan: "The spring snack is short, Madam, should I take it off by myself, or for my husband to help you?"

... Take off your grandma.

Thirteen looked at him coldly, losing even the last glimmer of hope.

During the healing that day, Ye Peiqing was a little shy when his clothes were untied. Thirteen thought he was innocent, but now it seems that he is not always so.

"Madam is so shy, I'd better let my husband undress Madam." Ye Peiqing walked over with a smile.

Thirteen couldn't help feeling a little nervous.In such a useless matter, he has no power to restrain himself, and if Ye Peiqing insists, it will be difficult for him to protect himself.It is a trivial matter to be hacked and killed, but if one suffers such a great shame and humiliation, even revenge afterwards will be useless.

While maintaining his composure, he looked around unobtrusively.

Ye Peiqing walked a few steps forward, when a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Sir, Ye Lin is waiting outside the courtyard. It is said that the time is getting late, and the master invites the son to go out to drink with the guests."

"Understood." Ye Peiqing's footsteps stopped, he half-closed his eyes and responded casually towards the door, his tone couldn't tell if it was regret or any other emotion.

Thirteen's expression was still cold, like a nervous, defensive, and ready-to-go leopard.It's a pity that his figure is so frail, it doesn't make people fearful, but his bluff makes people pitiful.

Suspicion flashed across Ye Peiqing's eyes, and he smiled lazily: "Today's wedding is too tiring, and I have to drink as a husband later. Why don't we wait until we have a good rest tomorrow, and then fight with the madam."

Thirteen:"……"

Ye Peiqing stopped talking, turned around and walked out.

As soon as he left the yard, the servant Ye Lin came up from the long corridor, while shielding the rain from drifting with his hands, he said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty has worked hard."

Ye Peiqing didn't answer, but walked slowly.

The two walked for a while, Ye Lin knew that no one could hear the two of them, so he whispered: "The little one is useless, the man that the prince asked the little one to pay attention to, I haven't seen it for a long time today."

Ye Peiqing looked at the vast rainy night, touched his chin, and said with a lonely expression, "...um."

Ye Lin said carefully again: "I don't know what orders the prince has?"

It was Ye Peiqing's order that he came to interrupt the bridal chamber candles just now, not Mu Guogong's order.The prince is not someone who would wrong him. These days he has a lot of things on his mind, and he doesn't want to have a bridal chamber tonight, maybe he just doesn't like this newlywed lady at all.

Ye Peiqing said, "Did you catch that old nun?"

"I got it, my son knows things like a god. I invited her here in the name of Mrs. Sui early this morning, and she followed me out of the nunnery. Unexpectedly, when we were about to arrive at the mansion, we heard that Mrs. Sui had hanged herself on the street. She I was so frightened that I mixed with the crowd and wanted to escape, but I packed it in a sack and locked it in a small courtyard outside the house."

"Is someone watching?"

"I'll let Xiaomu watch."

"I don't have time today, I'll go to interrogate her tomorrow night."

"Yes."

Ye Peiqing said again: "It's getting late, I'm going to have a wedding. The man I asked you to find tonight is my benefactor, please continue to pay attention to me."

Ye Lin didn't know how to answer: Shi Zi asked him to find someone, and he didn't tell him his appearance, nor his identity, and he didn't even have a name. He just said, "This person is quiet and quiet, and has a reassuring temperament."How can I find him?

He looked at Ye Peiqing's face carefully and said: "Yes."

……

As soon as Ye Peiqing went out, Shisan adjusted his breath to calm down, and first picked up the bronze mirror on the table.

The flames of the two one-foot-long wedding candles were fierce, and the small sparks made a small crackling sound, and then turned into black smoke and dissipated in the air. The candle flames reflected Thirteen's stiff face.

His appearance is indeed much more handsome than before, but he is also much weaker as a scholar.

Thirteen touched around the neck, but did not feel the trace of the face covered by human skin, and fell silent.

Sure enough, he changed his body.

Judging by this appearance and everyone's reaction, he is now undoubtedly Ye Peiqing's husband and wife, Mei Yu, the second son of Mei Shangshu's family, who just turned seventeen this year.

Regardless of what strange things happened, the martial arts that he had practiced for ten years disappeared, and Shisan felt uncomfortable.Holding on to the last ray of hope, he slowly groped for his roots.

Touching and touching, a small flame ignited in his heart, bringing him a little excitement.

Although Mei Yu is weak, her bones are extremely suitable for martial arts, and her aptitude is similar to hers before.If you get through the veins and practice hard for a few years, you can achieve small success.

Thirteen tilted his head in a daze for a while, then pushed open the window.

A gust of strong wind blew violently on his clothes accompanied by Ye Yu, the wind and rain howled in the distance, and the laughter of the guests could be faintly heard.He calculated in his mind: he has not figured out the terrain of Mu Guo Mansion yet, and there is heavy rain again, so he must not be able to leave tonight.If you escape, you can't be caught, and the end will be unimaginable.

If this marriage was organized, he should have received the news.In any case, he had to find a way to contact the messenger.

The three burrows of the cunning rabbit, Shisan has hiding places in the capitals of various countries, hiding some hidden weapons and poisons in case of emergencies.As long as he can go out and bring them back home, he can at least protect himself when he has to.

Therefore, the most critical thing is how to spend the next few days safely.

No matter how he doesn't like it, he will deal with Ye Peiqing.

I closed the window and was about to look around, but I heard the door knocked three times softly, and a woman's gentle voice came: "Young master, are you hungry? This servant has prepared a supper, please fill up your hunger, and drink today's medicine by the way." gone."

Thirteen had no choice but to let her in.

While arranging the bowls, chopsticks and porridge on the table, Aunt Zhao whispered, "Madam Sui who committed suicide by hanging herself today, do you still remember who she is? I mentioned it to you in Mei Manor."

Thirteen said: "I just remember that she is Mu Guogong's side wife."

Aunt Zhao took a look at Shisan: "Young master has always disliked these intricate interpersonal relationships. In the past, slaves dared not say anything, but now that they are living in this mansion, they have to pay more attention in the future. Otherwise, one day the young master will be punished. People have plotted secretly, we servants can't protect your son's integrity, death is a minor matter, but disappointing the old lady's expectations is a major issue."

Thirteen could only agree: "Got it."

Only then did Aunt Zhao close the door, staring at Thirteen and drinking the medicine while talking in a low voice.

Mrs. Sui was a concubine taken by Duke Mu three years ago. Now she is less than 20 years old. She has a beautiful appearance and can write poems and fus.She was born in a poor scholar's family. She was originally just an aunt, but because she gave birth to a son for Mu Guogong two years ago, she was promoted to the side wife, on an equal footing with Mrs. Chi and Mrs. Ming.It's just that she is a bit petty, and she can't help being arrogant because she is favored. I heard that she usually likes to throw things and stab people with hairpins, so she is not very popular with servants.

Mrs. Chi has always been magnanimous, and Mrs. Ming's personality is calm, so she doesn't care about her. For several years, she has been treated like a younger sister and doted on in every possible way.Even Mu Guogong often praised the harmony in the family, his good wife and beautiful concubines, and made others envious.

So no one knows why Mrs. Sui suddenly hanged herself today.

Aunt Zhao was chatting with a few women at the door just now, seemingly unintentionally, but she was inquiring about the whole story.One of the women said that Mrs. Sui had been restless these days, and her temper became much worse. She often beat the maids with bruises all over their bodies because of a trivial incident, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard across the courtyard.In the past few days, she has not been seen all day long, and in the middle of the night, she often hears the sound of crying from her courtyard.

Thirteen drank the porridge, then lowered his head and drank the medicine.He has always been afraid to compliment such girls, and would rather keep them at a respectful distance than ask them to be his wives.

Aunt Zhao whispered, "I heard that Madam Chi invited a doctor to examine Madam Sui's body in the afternoon."

Thirteen raised his eyebrows: "Everyone is dead, what should the doctor do?"

Aunt Zhao also pointedly said: "Why don't you say it? Everyone is dead, why do you invite a doctor? If you suspect that she didn't commit suicide, shouldn't you notify the yamen?"

Thirteen licked the medicine in the bowl: "I don't know, I can't speculate."

This Mu Guofu seems to be a bit deep.

Aunt Zhao also said: "Although there is an old lady in Mu Guofu, Mrs. Chi is the head of the family. The young master has no foundation, so he has to be wronged for the time being. The gifts for the old lady and all the wives have been prepared, and the servants have also been prepared. , Young Master, if it is not bad, I will order it tomorrow."

Thirteen said: "This matter falls on you, I'll take a look at it tomorrow morning."

Aunt Zhao asked him in a low voice for a while, telling him to be obedient tonight, to serve the son well, not to offend him, and then she packed up the dishes and left.

Obedient tonight?

Thirteen searched the room for a long time, and found a thick pair of hi-scissors and a dozen steel needles, and weighed them in his hands.He picked out a few seemingly harmless but heavy items and placed them around the room.

Losing martial arts, you can only strike first when the enemy is caught off guard.No matter where Ye Peiqing wanted to attack him in the room, he could just pick up something and hit him on the head.

After closing the door of the bedroom, Shisan held a candle and studied all the furniture, tables and chairs.After checking for a long time, he found two slightly loose long nails, pulled them out with hi-scissors, put them in the crevice of the bed.

These spikes are five inches long, and they can kill a person when inserted into the neck.If Ye Peiqing dared to touch him on the bed, this place would become his burial place.

It's not that he's not "obedient", but he's used to being prepared and planning for the worst.

He hated the feeling of being controlled by others and unable to stand up.

Spikes were hidden by the bed, steel needles were installed under the table, a pair of hi-scissors were placed in the closet, and heavy objects capable of crushing human heads were placed everywhere in the room.

After a busy night on Thirteenth, the newlyweds' bridal chamber was finally arranged in a decent way.
