Chapter 23 Panic
"Since he knows that I owe Yue Zhirou a favor, I'm afraid he will force Yue Zhirou to use up the favor this time in exchange for his two sons. But Yue Zhirou is not that stupid, she still wants to fight."
"This time the father and daughter had a falling out, and Yue Zhirou disappeared, she must have defected to Ling Yun. I followed the trend and blamed Ling Yun for the matter of his two sons."
Pei Annan had to turn around and look at him: "In this case, Yue Jinyan will think that Ling Yun has long wanted to deal with him. In order to get his son out and to get revenge on Yue Zhirou, he will ignore the current situation and go against him?"
"Not bad!" Xie Chenghe saw Pei Annan looking at him, as if she had praised him. With some childishness and pride that he was not aware of, he raised his neck and said, "This is a good opportunity to catch them all!"
Pei Annan stared at Xie Chenghe intently, trying to catch some other emotions from his eyes.
But no, Xie Chenghe lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows high. When he saw Pei Annan looking at him, he was like a three or five-year-old naughty boy who got candy, he was full of energy and cautious at the same time.
He spoke lightly in just a few words, but everyone was included in the plan.
If Yue Jinyan is not a patriarchal person who values his son very highly, if Yue Zhirou is not a person who has a strong personality and dares to go out on his own after seeing his father clearly, if Lingyun is not a straightforward person, even if he has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, he still has someone to say...
Then his plan of killing three birds with one stone will not go so smoothly at all, let alone succeed!
Pei Annan looked into Xie Chenghe's eyes and felt a chill running down his spine, with sweat dripping down his spine.
She has known Xie Chenghe for six years, and has never seen him scheming or engaging in shady conspiracies...
But who says you won’t know how to play if you don’t play?
Were the little tricks she had done under his nose in the past six years just a trick?
Pei Annan had no idea how Xie Chenghe managed to do it flawlessly. She asked herself, if she could think of this method, it would be impossible to do it without leaving any traces.
At least someone in her position, at least someone with such power, should find out.
"Do you know about the Lu family's affairs?" Pei Annan's voice was cold, but she knew it was the calmness she had forced out.
Xie Chenghe pursed his lips and said "Yeah": "The crime you committed against the second house was too great. I used some tricks to save the first house."
Pei Annan felt dizzy and grabbed his collar: "You know? You knew it a long time ago?"
But at that time, he didn't know the reason, he didn't know what humiliation she had suffered, and he didn't know what she had gone through!
"What about the Song family in the capital? Where about the Situ family? And my brothers and sisters... you all know?" Pei Annan finally couldn't control himself, and his voice trembled.
Xie Chenghe didn't say anything, but just moved closer to her so that her hand holding his collar wouldn't hit the armrest.
Pei Annan couldn't believe it, "Don't you hate me doing these things the most? Since you knew, why did you never stop me?"
Xie Chenghe lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong. After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice, full of self-blame:
"You should blame me. As a teacher, I didn't teach you well."
Pei Annan let go of his hand and stared at him until his eyes were sore, then slowly said: "Go down, I still have something to discuss with Ding Shanggong."
Xie Chenghe panicked. He knelt straight and held his hands on the armrests. His fingertips turned white and his face turned pale: "Are you angry? You don't like it?"
"No..." Pei Annan said with difficulty, not knowing how to answer.
She couldn't look at Xie Chenghe, couldn't look directly into Xie Chenghe's hot eyes, the feeling of stomach twitching came again, she couldn't be in the same room with Xie Chenghe, let alone be so close to him.
"Get out!"
Xie Chenghe gripped the armrest harder, as if Pei Annan would throw him away if he let go: "Don't drive me away... Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
"If I am guilty, I will let you be beaten and scolded by your majesty, but... I will be allowed to accompany your majesty. This is all I ask for."
The words "Your Majesty" made Pei Anan's heart almost jump out of her chest. She was puzzled. The word "Your Majesty" was so ordinary. How could it come out of Xie Chenghe's mouth and attract her attention? It was like some kind of honey-coated trap that made her
I was dizzy and trembling.
Seeing that Pei Annan didn't speak, Xie Chenghe's voice became more pleading: "Your Majesty..."
"Okay!" Pei Annan finally couldn't stand it anymore. In a panic, he covered his heart with one hand and pressed Xie Chenghe's hand with the other to stop him from continuing, "I really have something to tell Ding Yueluo. I'm not angry."
She was so helpless that she was so anxious that she even forgot to say "I".
Xie Chenghe loosened his hands, turned his wrist, and held Pei Annan's hand in his palm. He restrained his desire to hold it tightly and slowly closed his hands: "Really?"
"Really!" Although Pei Annan's tone was strong, her words seemed to be a bit pleading, "You should go out first. If someone sees it, the plan will be in vain."
Xie Chenghe nodded, his eyes never leaving Pei Annan: "Yes, His Majesty said that. It's just that I'm afraid that once I leave this door today, Your Majesty will not let me come in the future."
"How could it be?" Pei Annan was anxious and held Xie Chenghe's hand to express comfort. She just wanted this man who disturbed her mind to get out. "You can come back tomorrow. I'll wait for you."
Xie Chenghe looked at the hands held by the two of them, pursed his lips and smiled softly, but he also knew that he would just say it when he was good, and he waited for a while before slowly leaving.
Pei Annan's mind was full of mush, and he was just waiting for the cold wind to wake him up little by little. He didn't know how long Xie Chenghe had been gone, but Ding Yueluo broke in.
"Something happened!" the two men said to each other in unison.
Only then did Pei Anan see Ding Yueluo's expression, which was unusually flustered and a little frightened.
"You say it first." She calmed down immediately. Ever since Ding Yueluo became the Shang Palace, nothing had ever caused her to show such an expression.
"In the past few years, disasters in Fengzhou have been dealt with, and the victims have been resettled. But this winter was too cold, and the avalanche in Fengzhou destroyed the granary, and the last grain was gone. Now the victims have flocked to the capital.
Got it!"
Pei Annan immediately said: "You can't enter the capital! These people are going crazy with hunger. They might cause trouble if they enter the capital! But I'm afraid Xie Chenghe won't agree to this." He cares too much about the people.
"This is the accident I'm talking about!" Ding Yueluo showed a horrified look again, "The capital has been sealed off, and the number of guards has been doubled to prevent disaster victims from entering the capital."
