Chapter 44 Dependence

The injury was serious this time, and it took Wei Yunzhu half a month to recover before she regained some energy, but she was still depressed and lacked appetite.

At noon, she was dozing off on the imperial concubine's couch. Suddenly she felt that there was a heater beside her, so she unconsciously leaned against it.

Pei Ji looked at the cat-like girl in his arms and gently tapped the tip of her nose. The girl snorted in discomfort and buried her head in his chest.

In a hazy moment, Wei Yunzhu felt something on her waist, and she touched it restlessly.

A pair of strong hands reached to her neck, and in a few strokes, her tightly tied cloak was torn into a mess.

She was very sleepy, and her limbs were limp due to illness, and there was nothing she could do to stop her.

Soon, those hands became more and more unscrupulous until...

"don't want……"

The girl gave a weak rejection and twisted uncomfortably.

"Don't move, I won't take the opportunity to bully you." Pei Ji took out his hand and held the girl's soft wrist.

He straightened up slightly and breathed heavily. He lowered his head and glanced at the girl, who was leaning in his arms with disheveled clothes, unsuspecting and extremely well-behaved.

What he found most irresistible was the attractive red lips, which tempted him to taste them.

All kinds of wild thoughts kept popping up in his mind, and he loved the delicate delicateness that pulled at his nerves.

Finally, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against the girl's lips. He was cautious, not daring to go deep, and could only restrain himself and sculpt her lips carefully.

The girl's fragmentary breath was extremely delicate. After a while, the little hands curled up on his shoulders began to push away softly. Such a squeamish reaction was telling him that the sick girl simply could not bear his passion.

Only then did Pei Jifang restrain himself. The hard muscles in his arms tightened and relaxed, and he clenched the hand against the lady's head. The joints turned white. He pressed hard and held the soft person tightly in his arms.

Wei Yunzhu finally gathered a little energy. She put her hand on the chest of the stove, suddenly leaned back, raised her arm, and subconsciously patted it.

"Pa." There was a sound of applause.

The air suddenly became cold, and Wei Yunzhu woke up with a start. She struggled to raise her little head, and saw three red marks at the corners of the man's eyes.

Meeting Pei Ji's slightly cold eyes, she was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized what she had done, and subconsciously trembled in fear.

Pei Ji was amused by this reaction. He grabbed the girl's slender wrist and said with a smile, "You disobedient little cat, you dare to scratch someone."

Wei Yunzhu did not dare to offend him easily, so she could only raise her pitiful almond eyes and said in a low voice: "I...I didn't mean it."

Pei Ji chuckled and approached, looking for her lips again, but the girl suddenly covered her mouth and shook her head helplessly.

"Huh?" Pei Ji came close to her ear and blew deliberately to cause trouble.

The girl shrank her shoulders and hid subconsciously: "No... no, I'm still sick..."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Pei Ji held her in his arms, held her soft little hands, and played with them carefully one by one.

"Why is it that after half a month of nursing, it's still not healed? Why don't we send the imperial doctor to take a look later?"

Wei Yunzhu shook his head: "I just saw it yesterday. Maybe it's too cold and I always feel weak."

Pei Ji touched the girl's green hair, then took something out of his sleeve and handed it to her: "Letter from the palace."

Wei Yunzhu, who had just been soft in his arms, immediately straightened up, took the letter, and opened it eagerly.

Pei Ji carefully admired the girl reading the letter. She lowered her head, her thick eyelashes were clearly visible, and the tip of her small nose was as beautiful as a painting.

But gradually, the girl in the painting frowned slightly, and the corners of her eyes became redder and redder, until finally they accumulated into a sea of ​​tears, and her tears slipped quietly.

Pei Ji was a little anxious, and he actually stretched out his hands to catch the crystal tears, as if they were priceless treasures.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

He had already read the content of the letter. It was nothing more than the Queen's personal talk with his sister, as well as some feelings of longing for each other. He gave it to the princess because he wanted to please her.

But now that he saw her crying, and crying so sadly, he regretted a little, with a hint of annoyance in his voice: "If I had known that I would make the princess cry, I shouldn't have given the letter to the princess."

Wei Yunzhu raised her face full of tears, shook her head at him, and then said: "Pei Ji, my third brother is sick, isn't he?"

Indeed, since His Highness the Third Prince learned that Wei Yunzhu was missing a month ago and his life or death was uncertain, he became extremely worried and fell ill.

Pei Ji didn't want to lie to her, so he nodded.

Tears surged and flowed more violently.

Everyone in the palace knew that the third prince Xiao Yu was a fool, and his mother was a humble palace servant. After giving birth to Xiao Yu, a mentally retarded idiot, she passed away.

When Xiao Yu grew up, he still behaved like a six or seven-year-old child. In the palace, no one dared to bully him.

But the fool that everyone laughed at and looked down upon was Wei Yunzhu's brother who he cared deeply about and respected and loved.

In the past, in the palace, she and her third brother were the best, and the third brother also treated her very well. When she heard that he was sick, but she was not in the palace, those palace servants who looked down on others might think how to rub him. This is called

How can I not be anxious?

"Pei Ji, I want to see my third brother!" The girl suddenly held the man's hand and said anxiously.

Going back to the palace was extremely dangerous, and Pei Ji seemed a little hesitant.

Wei Yunzhu naturally understood that he would not agree easily, so he softened his tone and cried heartily: "Master Chief Assistant, my third brother has been weak and sick since he was a child. He fell ill because of me. If he can't see me, I'm afraid his situation will not be good..."

"I just ask you to ask me to see him... okay?"

The girl was so sincere that her tears fell like beads on a broken string. Three or two drops hit Pei Ji's palm, which was very hot.

During this period of time, he could see how depressed the little princess was, and he tried every means to bring some novel gadgets from outside the house to please her, but the effect was very little.

He also wanted his beloved girl to be happy. Perhaps, she would feel better when she saw her relatives, and she would not be so annoying when she saw him.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji gently pulled the crying girl into his arms and stroked her black hair.

"Okay, I will go and make arrangements for the princess."

Wei Yunzhu's tearful eyes finally showed joy, and she nodded: "Yes."

At the end, Pei Ji put his hands on her shoulders and gently straightened the girl up: "The King of Yue has eyes all over the palace. For the sake of safety, he wronged the princess and refused to enter the palace as the princess, so he had to sneak back to the palace."

"I understand, everything is at your discretion." The girl responded obediently, leaning against his chest gently, becoming the support he dreamed of.
