There seemed to be footsteps outside. Gu Qingyuan was confused for a moment, and then she remembered what she seemed to have promised just now.
Suddenly, her body tensed up, as if facing a powerful enemy.
Not even daring to breathe hard, he leaned on the bed rail and looked at Pei Jinting, as if asking him what to do?
Pei Jinting raised his head and stared at her sharply, but his lips were stained with water color. He looked a little evil, and there was a smile in his eyes, as if to say, you brought it on yourself, you can deal with it yourself.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Gu Qingyuan stood up while holding on to the railing, and casually took a coat and put it on.
Pei Jinting's arms were suddenly empty, his eyes still showed the fierceness in the situation just now, and his deep eyes were glued to her back.
There are faint traces of blue and purple on a large expanse of white snow.
"Why do you seem so impatient for me to see her?" He put his arms around her waist to stop her from getting dressed.
Gu Qingyuan paused while putting on clothes.
"I already know how she feels about you."
Pei Jinting just smiled and looked at her slowly.
The footsteps outside gradually sounded, and it must be Chen Zhao arriving outside.
Gu Qingyuan was anxious, wondering if Chen Zhao would break into the inner room, pushed Pei Jinting's hand away, and tied it up haphazardly.
Pei Jinting watched her tie the upper belt to the lower belt, curled her lips, sighed and carried her back to the bed, and slowly straightened out her newly messed up black hair.
"Husband, I want you to take it easy. I will confirm with you later whether the medicine has been resolved..."
With that said, he stood by the bed, put on his clothes, and went out to see Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao finally waited until Pei Jinting came out.
But after she saw him, her face suddenly changed and became paler.
Pei Jinting's handsome face was full of charming laziness after relief.
She was married before, so how could she not guess what he had gone through before that?
Chen Zhao clutched the handkerchief in his hand, trembling.
Chen Zhao is quite smart when it comes to figuring out a person's preferences for women.
Although she had a life-saving grace for Pei Jinting, she didn't know what kind of person Pei Jinting loved at the beginning.
Until one day, she knew from the boy next to him that the person he liked was the kind of person who could grow tenaciously even if he was lonely and helpless, was reasonable, and didn't care about petty gains.
When Pei Jinting was young, he was not the same as he is now. At that time, he was taciturn and had an air of evil and hostility about him, which made people feel oppressed.
She once asked insinuatingly, and what she got was, "A loyal heart sees everything, but a mediocre person loves nothing."
He looks at everything in the world with a loyal heart, but in the end he is still a mediocre person who only cares about the world.
Although his expression was indifferent at that time, behind his tone, there was a hidden appreciation for that kind of woman.
Chen Zhao only felt that he was implying something. She was that lonely girl who lived in Pei's house since she was a child, but never felt sorry for herself and worked hard to grow up.
Later, because she was the queen, she had to choose to marry into the Yu family.
She thought he would always have a place for her in his heart, until Pei Jinting kidnapped her.
No, it should be said that until today, reality gave her a heavy blow.
She didn't understand what was so good about Gu Qingyuan.
How did Gu Qingyuan seduce Pei Jinting and make him risk everything, even confronting the empress, to welcome her home?
"Aren't you sick? Why don't you rest in your room?"
Realizing that Chen Zhao was staring at him blankly, Pei Jinting talked casually and called Chen Zhao's personal maid,
"Help your wife put on her cloak. The night dew is heavy and she wears too little."
Chen Zhao turned around slowly and smiled forcefully at Pei Jinting's concern.
"I didn't know you had already gone to bed. It seems that I disturbed your couple's good time..."
Pei Jinting was noncommittal.
Chen Zhao lowered his eyes and gathered the cloak around him.
"I was possessed by a nightmare. I dreamed that we were all soaking in the pool that year...I couldn't save you no matter what..."
"I was particularly worried about you when I woke up, so I didn't care too much. Now I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
Chen Zhao accidentally mentioned the past.
He just wanted to stir up Pei Jinting's memories of the past and draw his attention to Gu Qingyuan to her.
Chen Zhao plucked up the courage and asked tentatively,
"Jingheng... I don't want to go back to the Yu family, can you help me?"
Pei Jinting wore the door railing, looked through the screen at the hazy bed tent behind him, and avoided answering.
"Someone, take my sister back to her room."
His eyes were no longer on her, as if his mind was focused on the person inside.
"Sister, if you are not in good health next time, don't resist and ask someone to go to your mother's house and ask the imperial doctor with your badge..."
After Pei Jinting finished speaking, he nodded and turned towards the inner room.
Chen Zhao watched his broad back sadly.
Picking the flesh of your palms hard.
I just felt a burst of pain.
She didn't want to go back to Yu's house, but she was asking Pei Jinting if he could help her reconcile with Li.
Once she reconciles and returns to the Pei family...
Why not her?
When she was about to get married, why didn't Pei Jinting take her back to his house like he did to Gu Qingyuan?
Why didn't the queen drive Gu Qingyuan away like she had prevented her from being with Jing Heng?
Is it because she has no natal family? Is it because her family is in decline?
But Gu Qingyuan is just an orphan girl with no family or clan.
After Pei Jinting went to see Chen Zhao, Gu Qingyuan felt weak all over and slowly lay back down.
Gu Qingyuan buried her face under the pillow and tried not to think about what just happened.
Then she thought about how she met Lu Wenze not far from Zhaoyang Palace in the palace.
She knew that Lu Wenze was deliberately lured there.
Is it just to use her to take revenge on the prince's family and the Pei family?
Later, what happened after she jumped into the lake?
Gu Qingyuan wanted to know.
There was a thud. The sound of something colliding came from outside the tent.
Gu Qingyuan was startled and sat up in a daze.
Pei Jinting looked at Gu Qingyuan apologetically. Just now, he just wanted to be gentle. The more he acted like this, the more mistakes he made, and he bumped into the chair next to the couch.
Gu Qingyuan propped herself up and sat up. The clothes tied to her body slid down from her shoulders, and her white shoulders were exposed to Pei Jinting's eyes.
Under this scene, Pei Jinting felt that his eyes were a little hot.
However, he had just sat on the edge of the couch, and the girl with misty eyes in front of him seemed to shrink subconsciously.
The look in his eyes was a little frightened.
Pei Jinting said slowly,
"Gu Yuanyuan. I won't confirm that I'm my husband today. You can't make me angry..."
Gu Qingyuan laughed angrily.
Bad. Really bad. Pei Jinting must have been a pig in his previous life.
The skill of knocking down and raking is perfect.
Pei Jinting, who did not confirm the truth, was reprimanded by the imperial edict the next day. He was said to have acted wantonly and was lawless. He was fined a year's salary and asked to shut up and think about his mistakes.
Pei Jinting accepted the order very happily, and stayed in the house with Gu Qingyuan every day, wishing that he could not stay at home for twelve hours a day.
Gu Qingyuan was extremely scared.
By chance, a letter came from the concierge that day.
Gu Qingyuan opened it and found that it was sent by Lu Wenze.
But Gu Qingyuan frowned and read the letter from beginning to end, her fingertips trembling.
