I'm afraid you'll be widowed

The furnishings in the side hall are simple, but each one is exquisite.

Even the smoked Luxiang burned is a rare smell outside the palace.

Emperor Deqi waved his hand, and ordered the eunuchs at the side to come forward and carry away the piles of memorabilia in front of him.

Then, he put his arms on his lap leisurely, casually took a palm-sized gold cake from the table, and casually threw it to Pei Gong.

"It's done, let's go to the palace with your elder brother."

"I still have something to say, I want to leave your father with a few words."

As soon as the voice fell, the inner eunuch consciously stepped forward and led Pei Xuan and Pei Gong out the door.

Pei Gong absently played with the heavy gold cake in his hand.

I have a lot of thoughts for a while.

The red walls and golden tiles of the huge Forbidden City are layered and scattered.

While majestic and majestic, what is suppressed is countless absolute authority and endless rules.

Pei Gong's thoughts were always wandering outside these palaces.

He is not interested in admiring any palaces and pavilions, he always feels that although he has left the Qianqing Palace, his whole body still seems to be erratic.

Pei Gong raised his eyes, looked at the unhurried Pei Xuan ahead, hurriedly stepped forward and chased after him: "Brother."

"Your Majesty, he..." Pei Gong paused, as if he was speechless for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic, "Your Majesty left Dad in the side hall, what else do you want to say?"

Pei Xuan stopped and said nothing, just stared at Pei Gong as if he had seen through everything.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, then Pei Xuancai suddenly laughed out of purpose, and then asked softly, "Do you really want to know?"

"Still here, looking for something to say to me?"

The corner of Pei Gong's mouth twitched, and he laughed stiffly at his elder brother.

Pei Xuan sneered: "Do you think that big brother doesn't know about those fancy intestines in your stomach?"

"I was in front of His Majesty just now, and I saw that you were so bold as to stab the sky, what's the matter? Now that you know what you're afraid of?"

Pei Gong was mercilessly exposed by his elder brother, so he had to laugh secretly to himself.

After laughing, he regained his composure: "Brother, if His Majesty asks you now, I still want to say that."

"Elder brother and second brother can suffer, so can I. As long as second brother can go home, why is this little risk not worth taking?"

Pei Xuan smiled and stroked Pei Gong's shoulder: "You were a little impulsive today, but brother also thinks you are right."

"The son of our Pei family is not afraid of death. If Ling Jin's body can be returned to Beijing in exchange for the elder brother, we will still say the same."

Pei Gong met Pei Xuan's gaze, and slowly curled the corners of his lips.

Only then did Pei Xuan sigh softly, his eyes full of worry: "But brother said that you are impulsive, but it is not nonsense."

"Do you know why the princess met the assassin outside the palace?"

"The matter of the Northern Tatars was previously handled by the Crown Prince. Now that Tatar secret agents have infiltrated into the capital, the Crown Prince may have been investigating it before."

Pei Gong thought for a while, and soon understood the meaning: "Brother, do you think that the assassination of the princess was the result of the Tatars seeking private revenge?"

"The assassin wants to capture the princess, and then use the princess to blackmail His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Pei Xuan nodded calmly: "The [-] troops on the Xuanfu Outer Road were attacked, and if you can't find out what happened for a day, your majesty will never let go of our guard against our Pei family."

"Since the case of Beizhili has left His Majesty hanging in the balance, it must be extremely difficult."

"What's more, Beizhili is four or five hundred miles away from Beijing. It's okay for you to go here just to work hard. I'm afraid that if you don't meet some difficulties, we won't be able to help you at that time. How can you not worry about this?"

The corners of Pei Gong's lips suddenly pursed into a smile: "Brother, someone has to do these things."

"I'll go, it's better than changing those internal guards and villains to investigate, at least we won't be wronged by Liang Guogong's mansion again."

When Pei Xuan heard the words, he could only sigh helplessly.

He stood on the porch, looking into the distance.

Pei Gong followed his gaze, only to see the Wangchun Pavilion as far as he could see.

Surrounded by steps, the Wangchun Pavilion is surrounded by short trees on all sides.

It is still the first month of the month, and there are bare dead branches everywhere.The area around the Wangchun Pavilion has already been stained with a light yellow.

Dots of yellow hang on the branches, swaying with the cold wind from time to time.

If you look carefully, you can see the new petals blooming layer upon layer on the yellow spots.

Pei Gong vaguely seemed to be able to smell the fragrance.

That is the wintersweet flower, which has already opened.

But looking at the beautiful scene in front of him, Pei Gong felt as if his whole body had been stimulated by cold water, and his hairs stood on end.

Something fell heavily on his heart.

He moved his eyes back to Pei Xuan who was on the side, and said slowly: "Spring is coming soon, and it's getting hotter every day."

If Pei Ying's coffin cannot be brought back, not only the Pei family will not be able to see the remains, but also getting the second brother to be buried in a dignified manner will become a problem.

"Brother, you just need to rest assured." Pei Gong said in a low voice, "I have a measure."

"No matter how difficult this case is, I will investigate it."

"I think the second brother has waited too long, and I don't want to let you worry. I will proceed cautiously when I go to Beizhili."

"When I go back to the mansion, I will take my second brother home with me. Our family cannot be reunited in life, and I have to let my second brother return to his hometown after death."

--------

Emperor Deqi did not stay in the palace, and Duke Liang only stayed for a quarter of an hour.

It's not too late to leave the palace.

Pei Gong proceeded step by step, first went back to Beizhen Fusi Yamen to register his registration.

It will take two or three days for the promotion order to be promoted to a thousand households. By then, I am afraid that the errands sent to Beizhili will be dispatched together.

Therefore, before that, Pei Gong started to do those trivial chores.

I also want to take advantage of this time to inquire in the yamen about what is going on with the Beizhili case.

However, this case is really not easy to handle.

Even Jin Yiwei, who is dignified and specialized in major cases, unexpectedly knows little about this case.

Pei Gong knew that now he could only passively wait for the official order from the palace, and he could only wait quietly for others.

Seeing such a situation, he simply braced himself and walked towards Tianshui Lane.

The white waves are not fed all day, and I don't know which wall to go to for the cursing "meow".

What's more, he can still vividly remember what happened last night, the white waves bared their teeth and froze at him.If he looks for it today, it is still unknown whether he can get along peacefully with one person and one cat.

Pei Gong wrapped himself in fur clothes to face the cold wind, he just wanted to walk quickly to Tianshui Lane with his head down, and then talk about other things.

The afternoon sun set heavily on the blue bricks of Tianshui Lane, as if they were coated with gold sand.

Huanhuan was standing at the entrance of the alley, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing Pei Gong's figure from a distance, she smiled and waved her hands, and hurriedly ran to Pei Gong's side: "Third Lord."

"There was a big horse taller than me standing at the end of the alley this morning. It must be the third master's horse, right? My mother tied it into the yard for you."

Pei Gong nodded silently.

Seeing this, Huanhuan said again: "San Ye quickly take the horse back with me, it won't even eat hay if I feed it."

"If the third master doesn't come, the horse will starve."

Pei Gong didn't make a sound, just followed behind Huanhuan.

The horses in Liang Guogong's mansion are all carefully selected good horses, and they usually eat intensive breeding mixed with black beans, so it's normal to be picky.

But he was still willing to pick his mouth, thinking that the horse was not really hungry.

Thinking of this, Pei Gong felt relieved and stopped worrying.

He just walked slowly behind Huanhuan. Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the alley, he asked as if he had returned to his soul: "Is there anyone else in the yard?"

Huanhuan looked confused: "Is there someone else?"

"My mother is washing clothes, there is no one else."

Only then did Pei Gong enter the door calmly, walked around the yard, picked up the white waves from the corner of the wall, and then pulled the horse's reins tied to the jujube tree.

Bai Langhua writhed in Pei Gong's arms, unwilling to settle down.

Pei Gong lowered his head and glanced at it: "Are you moving around again?"

"Do you want tonight's fish?"

His tone sounded a little cursing: "You little bastard has no conscience, I've treated you for nothing."

"Whoever feeds you is the same as others, you should be given a few meals, starve to death."

Pei Gong talked endlessly to Bai Langhua.

I don't know how long it took, the door was suddenly pushed half open from the outside.

Pei Gong raised his gaze slowly and at the same time, and saw the figure he had been thinking about for a long time.

Fang Cenxi was wearing a green shirt, his eyes were full of exhaustion.

He walked into the courtyard in a hurry, looked at Pei Gong and Huanhuan, obviously also slightly startled.

Huanhuan was on the sidelines, completely dumbfounded.

Only Bailanghua let out a "wow" first, and ran to the door, lingering beside Fang Cenxi, as if she was relentlessly complaining about her grievances.

Only then did a large smile appear on Huanhuan's face, "Brother Xiao Fang, it's great that you're not dead."

She smiled like Bai Langhua, rushed to the door in a hurry, and hugged Fang Cenxi: "Brother Fang, why did you come back?"

"It's fished out of the river..."

Fang Cenxi narrowed his gaze slightly, and suddenly met Pei Gong's cold gaze.

Both of them knew exactly what happened to the corpse that was picked up from the river.

But no matter how clearly they know, at the moment they can only look at each other tacitly, and can't say anything else.

Although everyone has their own ideas, the show still has to go on.

Fang Cenxi leaned over and patted Huanhuan's head as usual: "What's wrong in the river?"

"We all thought you were in the river..." Huanhuan frowned in frustration, "Brother Fang, where have you been for so long?"

"Huanhuan misses you so much."

Huanhuan hurriedly turned her head to look at Pei Gong, "Third Master, look quickly."

"Brother Xiao Fang is back."

She said with a smile on her face, her face full of surprise: "Third Master, brother Xiao Fang didn't fall into the river, you admitted your mistake."

Pei Gong sneered at Fang Cenxi, then straightened up.

His voice sounded cold, more piercing than the wind of the first month, he only looked at Fang Cenxi and said, "You still know how to come back?"

Fang Cenxi lowered his eyes and silently avoided Pei Gong's sight.

The two stood in the courtyard distractedly, even the air seemed to freeze.

Only Huanhuan was still sincerely happy about the accident, she was smiling all over her face: "It's really great, my mother said before that good people will live a long life."

"Brother Xiao Fang, you don't even know. I've never seen the third master so sad."

"We all thought you had an accident. The third master was really sad."

Pei Gong: "..."

"Third Master?" Huanhuan looked up at Pei Gong, his voice gradually lost his confidence, "Is Third Master unhappy? Why...don't you speak?"

Fang Cenxi had a gentle smile in the corner of his eyes, and said softly: "Huanhuan, the third master is a little tired, you should go back early and let him have a rest."

"Who says I'm tired?" Pei Gong sneered, "I still want to wait for a good man with a long life to pay my rent."

"The yard is mine now."

"Twenty-two rents a month, no credit."

Pei. Wronged little daughter-in-law. Dog: Do you still know to come back?
