There were many guards outside the palace, and under the steps, Pei Qinghe and Pei Zheng stood side by side.
The palace maids and eunuchs passing by secretly looked at this place from time to time.
Pei Qinghe's hand holding the sachet was slowly tightening, and gradually realized that something was wrong.
She was confused.
She wanted to cut off her unclear feelings with Pei Zheng, but she still gave Pei Zheng a sachet in public, which was even more misunderstood.
Once upon a time, Pei Zheng saved her and treated her with considerate manners, but never said he loved her.
He would agree to marry her in his previous life, probably because the princess's mansion tried his best to save him.
He probably didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Pei Qinghe looked down at the sachet in his hand, frowned slightly.
As a result, Pei Zheng refused to accept the things she gave, so she had to find another way to find a way out.
After she put away the sachet, calmed her mood, she looked up at him, and Yingying asked with a smile: "Have the imperial edict been sent to the Prince of Wei's Mansion?"
Pei Zheng: "Not yet."
"Then are you going to leave the palace now?"
"Your Majesty kept Pei Zheng in the palace for a longer time."
Keep it in the palace?
Pei Qinghe's eyes flashed slightly, something quickly passed through his eyes, and it was fleeting.
Since she stayed in the palace, she would have a chance.
Pei Qinghe thought about it and relaxed, "It is not advisable to stay here for too long. Please——"
As she said that, she saluted Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng didn't move, and glanced at her, and couldn't tell the attitude in his tone: "You're polite, Princess."
Pei Qinghe disagreed and said, "This is the etiquette he deserves."
Pei Zheng frowned rarely and looked at her deeply.
He heard her say, "In the past, Qinghe was rash, you were Qinghe's cousin, and now this is the etiquette you deserve."
Pei Zheng didn't say much, but after receiving this gift from her, he just turned around and left, saying, "This is not like you."
Pei Qinghe followed him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I used to think that he was kind to her, so I indulged a lot in front of him.
Now that the person who has died once has seen his indifference and cruelty, how could she dare to pester him like before?
After all, he, Xiao Tan and his future are probably Gu Beining's people.
She just can't afford to offend her.
-
After leaving Xuande Hall, Pei Qinghe wanted to return to Yupeng Hall, while Pei Zheng went to the residence arranged for him in the palace. The two of them walked along the way and headed towards the Imperial Garden.
However, Pei Qinghe, who used to be lively and cheerful in front of Pei Zheng, did not say a word today.
Pei Qinghe didn't mean it, but she just couldn't remember what to say to Pei Zheng.
If you say too much, you are afraid of saying something wrong, so you simply keep silent.
The journey was not far. As they were about to walk to the Imperial Garden, they were about to walk in separate ways, Pei Zheng, who was walking in front of Pei Qinghe, suddenly stopped.
Pei Qinghe was stunned. Before he could ask, he suddenly turned around and his eyes fell on her palms.
Immediately afterwards, he took the sachet from her hand and put it on his waist.
Pei Qinghe was stunned.
He... didn't he refuse to answer?
"Are you still angry?" he asked her, his voice warm and a hint of warmth.
Pei Qinghe blinked. Did he think she was unhappy when he didn't collect sachets?
Pei Qinghe thought about it for a long time and said, "Qinghe doesn't dare."
He looks so well-behaved.
It's another side that Pei Zheng has never seen before.
He looked at her quietly, his eyes deep.
At this time, two little palace maids came from ahead, and the palace maids were whispering and discussing something.
“…”
"Really? As you said, Miss Gu was possessed by evil spirits?"
"Isn't it? I fell into such a deep lake but did not die. Isn't it because I'm possessed by evil spirits after waking up?"
"It is said that when His Majesty's birthday, he will be ordered by King Zhenbei to return to Beijing. At that time, Miss Gu will come back together?"
"That's inevitable!"
“…”
The two little palace maids walked towards another palace road, but they did not find Pei Qinghe and Pei Zheng from beginning to end.
Pei Qinghe listened to all the words of the little palace maid.
She clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, and even her breathing became tight.
Could it be that Gu Beining came through this time?
Pei Qinghe closed his eyes and looked up at Pei Zheng with a calm expression, with a sarcastic tone: "Have you ever heard of King Zhenbei?"
Pei Zheng glanced at her and nodded: "This is natural."
"Where is Gu Beining, the daughter of King Zhenbei?"
“I saw it when I was young.”
Have seen it?
Pei Qinghe disagreed.
What he had seen was not Gu Beining who later died in the water, but Gu Beining who died tragically, the real Miss Gu family.
Pei Qinghe asked him again: "What do cousin think of this person?"
Pei Zheng's expression was faint, "Pei and Miss Gu are not familiar with each other. If they are not familiar with each other, how can they talk nonsense?"
Pei Qinghe said nothing when he heard this.
Pei Zheng's voice sounded in her ear again, and he said, "Pei heard that Miss Gu was weak and accidentally fell into the lake a few days ago. When he was rescued, he was already dying."
"Pei also heard that Miss Gu's temperament changed drastically after waking up, and she was completely different overnight-"
"It's like a princess."
After his last sentence, Pei Qinghe paused slightly.
Yes, it would be strange if he hadn't noticed her.
At this moment, the two of them had reached the fork in the road. Seeing that Pei Qinghe didn't want to say much to him, Pei Zheng said, "I heard that the princess is copying the scriptures for His Majesty. Don't miss the time, go back quickly."
Pei Qinghe followed the steps he gave, "Qinghe said goodbye."
"No matter what, Pei still thanked the princess for coming to save her today--"
"Cousin, don't be polite. You and I are both surnamed Pei, so we should be a family."
After saying that, Pei Qinghe turned around and left.
Pei Zheng was still moving, recalling Pei Qinghe's last sentence, and for some reason he thought of it, his expression became a little deeper.
Pei Qinghe walked for a while and couldn't help but look back at Pei Zheng.
He also turned around and left.
Pei Qinghe couldn't help but stand and looked at his bamboo-like back, feeling that she had been feeling for a long time.
She couldn't figure it out.
What exactly made Pei Zheng look like he was later crazy and violent?
"It's my heart-wrenching, I can't hide my bad eyes--" The man's humorous and funny voice suddenly appeared.
Is it a heartbeat?
Pei Qinghe came to his senses and turned his head expressionlessly to look at Qi Xing who was hiding in the grass.
Qi Xing: "Is it surprising or not surprised or not excited?!"
Pei Qinghe: "Master Hongyi, do you think you are very humorous?"
“…”
"I--"
I just sing a song, why am I?!
Qi Xing was choked and couldn't speak.
Pei Qinghe exhaled the turbid air and walked towards Yupeng Palace, "Why are you here?"
Qi Xing was stunned, yes, what did he do?
The next second, he slapped his forehead, and said, "I almost forgot the main business! I tell you, something big happened in this palace!"
-
When Qi Xing led Pei Qinghe back to Yupeng Hall, he climbed onto the roof, Pei Qinghe saw a group of people surrounding the courtyard of Yupeng Hall.
Take a closer look.
He is from Rong Fei’s palace.
They were guarding the door of the side hall.
Pei Qinghe pondered for a moment and asked the people beside him, "Does Rong Fei know about Shen Qiuping's affair with Pei Qing?"
"More than that!"
