I'm afraid you'll be widowed

The little princess Gengyuan and his party survived the catastrophe.

To them, the Duke of Liang's mansion at this moment is just like the warmest harbor in this cold sky.

Pei Gong went out early in the morning, and it was already afternoon when he returned home.

He brought Princess Gengchun and his entourage with him. Seeing this, the steward was the first to go to Pei Xuantong to preach.

At that time, Pei Xuan was still in the house urging his son to do his homework as usual.

As the son of Liang Guogong, and because of his leg disease, he couldn't defend the border, so he was the commander of Jinyiwei who was entrusted in Beijing all the year round.Therefore, it was commonplace for him to follow his father Liang Guogong into the palace.

It is for this reason that Pei Xuan is undoubtedly much more familiar with the relationships in the palace than Pei Gong.

Pei Xuan couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words of the butler Zhang Huang.

The prince was highly valued by Emperor Deqi, and he had been promoted to military and political affairs in the court for many years.

And now this Princess Gengyuan is the jewel in the palm of the East Palace that everyone in the court knows.The prince usually treats this daughter like holding her in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting. Today's encounter may scare the princess enough.

Hearing from the butler that there was also a servant from the East Palace coming together, Pei Xuan became even more aware.

There is only one old eunuch in the East Palace who can talk, and there is only one in the Communist Party of Manchuria. He is the object that everyone rushes to curry favor with. Although he is only an eunuch, his status in the court is self-evident.

Pei Xuan couldn't help helping the table to get up, and ordered the housekeeper to boil water and prepare medicine in an orderly manner.Instead, Gu shivered and strode towards the door.

But just after entering the main courtyard, he could see from a distance that the attendants of the Eastern Palace were applying medicine and bandaging, the tea and snacks for the guests had already been served, and the princess was a child at heart, and had already played with the cat in the courtyard with Pei Siqi.

Only then did Pei Xuan heave a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to bow and said, "The princess and the companion are frightened."

"My younger brother was spoiled and spoiled, and he has always been focused on dealing with people, and it is also for dealing with assassins. If there is a lack of protection, I hope Haihan."

Although the old inner eunuch of the East Palace was wounded, he still stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, you must not be too modest."

"The third son is strong in martial arts, alert and intelligent. If we hadn't met the third son outside the city today, I'm afraid that the princess will be captured by the villains, and the old slave may die."

Pei Xuan asked the old eunuch to sit down, and then asked again: "Why is the princess outside the palace, and how could he meet assassins?"

"This matter is strange to say."

The old inner eunuch clasped his hands again: "Your Majesty knows that now is the New Year's Eve, there is no curfew in the city, and there are many celebrations in the palace to ignore the court affairs."

"The princess asked His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Concubine a few years ago to play outside the palace. The Crown Prince also took care of this matter and arranged the East Palace early."

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty summoned you suddenly today, and several county kings came to Beijing to have an audience. They came early, but the matter of going out of the palace was agreed with the princess before, so I ordered the old slave to accompany the princess, and let the princess go out of the palace early in the morning to play. Unexpectedly, the morning was fine, but it was only after noon, but out of nowhere, a group of vicious people appeared, intending to kidnap the Princess."

"There are few guards, and the gangsters came prepared. After chasing all the way to the outside of the city, Fang met the third son and rescued the princess. He also captured the lives of the two assassins."

Only then did Pei Xuan turn his attention to Pei Gong who was at the side: "Where is the captured man?"

Pei Gong said calmly: "It's already tied up and gagged, and pressed into the woodshed."

"I'm afraid these few are some kind of dead soldiers who have been trained. They have carefully checked their bodies and the back of their teeth, and their jaws have been dislocated by me. They should not be able to do self-harm."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and leaned into Pei Xuan's ear: "It's a Tatar."

The corner of Pei Xuan's eyes twitched, he couldn't believe it: "Really?"

The Ming dynasty had been at war with the Tatars for many years, with frontier troops sitting outside and pro-military guards inside.The surrounding area of ​​Shuntian is full of troops from the top twelve guards, and it is absolutely forbidden for Tatars to enter the capital blatantly.

Now not only Tatars appeared in Shuntian, they even dared to form a gang to kidnap the princess, which is really daring.

Pei Gong didn't take it seriously, and shrugged with a light smile: "Anyway, I've already caught him alive."

"You..." Pei Xuan couldn't help but laugh, seeing that Pei Gong was able to handle everything in an orderly manner, he was completely relieved.

"Forget it, I will credit you, little bastard, today."

Seeing this, the inner eunuch of the Eastern Palace at the other end whispered again: "I still have to trouble the prince and the Duke of the country, and go into the palace again to pass it on."

Only then did Pei Xuan turn around and bow to the inner eunuch of the East Palace: "I didn't tell my companion just now, but today is really a coincidence. My father went out early in the morning and hasn't returned yet."

"But you don't need to worry, companion. Please stay in the mansion to rest and send two attendants to accompany me. I will go to the palace to meet His Royal Highness. Please send someone to the mansion to welcome the princess back to the palace."

After Pei declared, he went back to the house and changed his clothes.

Since the Commander of the Jinyiwei whom he favored was dismissed, he has not entered the palace for some time.

Now it is really not suitable to drag and scatter with a flying python.So he only wore a men's suit with a round collar, got into the carriage set up by the mansion, and went to the palace.

The entire mansion was taken care of by Mrs. Gu, but within a quarter of an hour, the envoys who were not working in the Imperial Hospital were also invited to the mansion. It took quite a while for Liang Guogong's mansion to see a rare bustle.

Watching his sister-in-law busy, Pei Gong ordered his servants to make Gu's favorite jasmine tea early in the morning.

Taking advantage of Gu Shi's idle time, he poured tea for Gu Shi and asked, "Where did Dad go today?"

Gu thanked him and took the tea, he was really thirsty.

She lifted the cup and took a big gulp, feeling refreshed, then sighed lightly and said, "Father left alone in the morning, and I don't know where he is going."

"It's just that they are all wearing ordinary dark clothes. It seems that they are not going to meet anyone important."

Pei Gong was puzzled: "Now that our Duke Liang's mansion is in such a situation, people around him can't avoid it, why is dad running out more and more?"

"What else could be the reason?" Mrs. Gu smiled wryly, "Now that Ling Jin has stopped at the Lingxuan Mansion, and your second sister-in-law refuses to return to the capital alone, even though Dad doesn't say it, why is he not in a hurry?"

"Maybe it's just trying to figure out a way and refuses to let us know."

Pei Gong was silent for a while, and finally nodded to Gu Shi.

"Sister-in-law, you are busy."

"I'm a little tired, go back to the house and have a rest."

He said he was about to go out.

"Jiangrang." Gu called him suddenly, "You didn't hide anything in your heart before... If there is anything you can't think about, just come to your elder brother, or you can talk to me."

Pei Gong lowered his eyebrows, raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I understand your thoughts."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine."

Only then did Gu's smile break out a little, and she watched Pei Gong go out.

The people in the palace only arrived when it was getting dark, and Liang Guogong also returned to the mansion at this time, just in time.

The crown prince and princess concubine came to pick him up in person, and seeing that the little princess was unharmed, they let go of their hanging hearts.

The crown prince expressed his thanks to Pei Gong with a thousand graciousness, but nothing happened to Pei Gong, all the etiquette is up to the mark.

After seeing off the palace people, Pei Gong walked back to the courtyard in a meek pace, and in a blink of an eye he saw Bai Langhua's cat bowl, there was still less than half of the jerky inside.

Only then did Pei Gong realize it later, he returned home to rest, and after waking up, he didn't see the fluffy white shadow anymore, and he didn't hear the cat meowing either.

He went out to look at the open cage in the yard, and his heart suddenly felt worried.

In the afternoon, Pei Siqi and Princess Gengyuan played with Bailanghua in their arms, the crowd in the house was noisy, Bailanghua was probably not used to it, so they ran away.

Pei Gong couldn't help frowning, turned his head and called his servants to lead the horse.

It's rare that there is no curfew at the end of the year, and he doesn't want to wait until tomorrow to find Bailanghua.

I can't tell if I really feel sorry for the cat, or if I'm full of guilt for the other party, Cen Xi, who died in vain.Let him pamper and take care of the raccoon slave, so he won't allow the little guy to suffer a little bit more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu couldn't help asking: "Jian Rang, it's so late, where are you going?"

Pei Gong straightened his cuffs: "Bailanghua recognizes the door, I'm afraid he ran back to Tianshui Lane again."

"No one feeds that end, I'll bring back the white waves."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, at most two quarters."

Pei Gong didn't bother to say more.

He straddled his horse and ran straight to the end of Tianshui Lane.

It's already night in Shuntian, even though it's New Year's Eve, but as long as you turn around the street, you can't see your fingers in the alleys.

Pei Gong just led the horse and walked forward slowly.

In my memory, there should be a dim yellow light in the small courtyard, there should be white waves napping and waiting for him under the shadow of the light, there should be someone who would chuckle when seeing him from a distance.

Smile like the prettiest look in the world.

The sound of horseshoes fell on the ground with a "da da", every bit of loneliness and impatience was magnified infinitely at this moment, clinging to his heart without any scruples, and tearing it up recklessly.

Accompanying him is only the shadow on the ground, which has already been drawn into a long straight line by the moonlight at this moment, and there is no half human shape.

Pei Gong turned around the alley, and inadvertently raised his eyes, only to find that the door of the small courtyard was stuck with red and red Chinese New Year stickers.

He was startled, and hurried forward a few steps.

This spring post was obviously posted just now, as if someone still lived here.

Pei Gong froze in place.

An absurd idea was born in his mind.

Fang Cenxi is back.

The one who died in the river might not really be Fang Cenxi.

Thinking about this, Pei Gong stretched out his hand and pushed the door subconsciously, but the lock was really just hanging on the door, not locked.

Pei Gong came back to his senses, thousands of thoughts flooded into his mind.

He didn't care about thinking, but rushed straight into the yard: "Cen Xi..."

The expected screen did not appear.

The courtyard is only as dark as thick ink.

"Cen Xi, is that you?"

He was answered by infinite silence.

After a long while, there was finally a "meow" sound from the corner of the wall.

Obviously, there is no one else in this courtyard except him.

Extravagant hope turns out to be just a luxury.

But there was no one in the courtyard, so could it be that Bailanghua couldn't open the lock?

Pei Gong was full of doubts, and was about to search for some more clues, when he heard faint footsteps coming from outside the door.

A rippling yellow light came from behind him and directly reflected on Pei Gong.

Pei Gong turned his head, subconsciously avoiding the glaring light, and could only see a figure standing in front of the door out of the corner of his eye.

"who are you?"

"Wandering here at night, trying to steal?"
