Outside there is a sparse moon, the sound of clappers, and the chirping of cicadas and insects.
But Pei Jinting didn't hear anything and looked straight at the person opposite.
"What did you say?"
The gaze in his gaze was as deep as a pool, calm on the surface, yet unable to conceal the turbulent undercurrents.
Lin Feng held the medicine bag and his heart skipped a beat.
Those who could be sent to Pei Jinting to serve by the emperor were all human beings. He quickly responded nervously after thinking about it for a moment,
"This...could it be possible that the young master didn't give it to you?"
Thinking of this, he swallowed, put the medicine bag on the table, stood up and left.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by He Zheng standing in front of the door.
What an injustice.
Lin Feng had no choice but to turn around and go back, carefully looking for compensation.
"Sir, this medicinal bag will not harm the young lady's body at all. The medicinal herbs in it will have a warming and tonic effect."
"The young lady's body has been severely cold before, and this medicine package may be beneficial."
Pei Jinting ignored him, and the room suddenly became empty and quiet. After sitting for a while, he suddenly ordered,
"Keep your mouth shut about this matter today and don't tell the young lady."
"He Zheng. Watch the people below. Don't do anything like He Fang happen again."
Then, he dismissed everyone, holding the medicine bag in his hand, and went to Gu Qingyuan's yard alone.
On the couch, the thin girl was sleeping soundly, her brows furrowing from time to time, perhaps because of pain.
Pei Jinting put the medicine bag back under the pillow, put on his clothes and lay down.
A few days passed in such a leisurely manner. He Zheng looked at his young master as if nothing happened, and he was really worried.
His young master is not that easy to talk to.
Such peace... When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
On the evening of the sixth day, Pei Jinting went back to the Pei Mansion, met with Duke Chengen, talked about something, returned to the courtyard, and returned to the Zhenguo Mansion with a wooden box.
He Zheng originally wanted to help his young master get the box, but was rejected.
He took a closer look at the box and found it looked very familiar.
That's not the box that Young Master is used to using.
He Zheng scratched his head, and before he could figure it out, he arrived at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
They did not go through the main entrance, but climbed over the wall and passed through the courtyard as usual.
Pei Jinting held the box in one hand and put it behind her back in the other, walking slowly towards Gu Qingyuan's yard under the cold moonlight.
His posture was as relaxed and relaxed as usual.
Gu Qingyuan was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair. When she heard a noise, she didn't need to turn around, as his figure was clearly reflected in the bronze mirror.
It seemed that since that day when I learned that her little life was coming, except for the constant supply of medicine, I had not seen his figure.
People are very strange.
When Pei Jinting appeared in front of her, she always wanted to drive him away.
Once the day passes, his figure will always suddenly appear in her mind.
These days, I can't seem to keep my energy up, and I felt a little listless even after dinner this morning.
It seemed that suddenly, Pei Jinting behaved like a gentleman. He said he wouldn't bother her, but he really didn't bother her.
Pei Jinting walked to Gu Qingyuan, put his arm around her shoulders, and sat next to her.
Gu Qingyuan thought for a while and said,
"I've been taking good medicine these days, thank you..."
After drinking those decoctions, she did feel much more comfortable, and the pain was no longer as unbearable as before.
Pei Jinting placed the box on the dressing table and tapped it with her fingers.
"You are my wife, and I should treat you well. Besides, when your health gets better, we can have children, right?"
Pei Jinting looked at Gu Qingyuan's face tentatively.
As Gu Qingyuan said these words, her eyes dropped and she turned her head.
"You really want an heir?"
Pei Jinting looked at her and nodded.
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips and wanted to open her mouth, but did not continue.
Ever since she learned about Ruan's prescription, she had never used that medicine packet.
But……
Pei Jinting looked at her and asked,
"Yuanyuan, what do you want to say?"
The red candle in the room burned to the bottom, the wick shook, and the room became dark.
"nothing."
Gu Qingyuan shook her head.
Pei Jinting held the hand on her shoulder tightly.
My heart sank completely.
These days, it's not like he doesn't know what Duke Zhen Guo means.
Gu Qingyuan must be completely separated from him.
Otherwise, there would be no news among the nobles of the aristocratic families that the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to meet his son-in-law.
As for Gu Qingyuan...
Ever since they got together, Gu Qingyuan didn't seem to be wary of him, nor did she resist his closeness. Raw rice became cooked rice.
Although they were a bit awkward at first, gradually the two of them became very harmonious.
At first, Pei Jinting felt like she had gotten her wish, and felt that she had her completely.
But gradually, Pei Jinting always felt that there was something close between the two of them, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Until that day, he found the medicine bag.
He finally understood what the mission meant.
This woman has always been outside of their marriage.
I want to leave him at any time.
In order to confirm whether his idea was true, he just tried it out.
Pei Jinting suddenly felt a little funny.
She is like this because she has never liked him at all.
Pei Jinting looked at Gu Qingyuan who turned her head and said nothing for a long time.
"It's getting very late, you should leave quickly." Gu Qingyuan put down the comb, got up and went to the inner room.
As soon as she said this, she heard Pei Jinting smile, very faintly, and asked her,
"Gu Yuanyuan, do you wish I would never appear in front of you?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingyuan turned around and looked at him in surprise.
She didn't know what he meant. She stood there and didn't respond to his words for a moment.
Pei Jinting took the box on the dressing table and said again,
"You went to the border and came back? You're not coming back, are you?"
He said, nodded, and lowered his voice,
"After all, we are husband and wife. Before we say goodbye, we must give you something..."
There was a trace of sarcasm on his lips, he bent down, placed the box on the low cabinet in front of the bed, and opened it.
As soon as Gu Qingyuan saw the things inside, she looked doubtfully at the man with a sullen expression in front of the bed.
Pei Jinting chuckled, leaned over and took Gu Qingyuan into his arms.
Then, Pei Jinting was seen picking up something in the box and lifting up the hem of her clothes.
Gu Qingyuan's eyes widened and she struggled to withdraw from his arms.
"Pei Jingheng, what are you doing!"
Pei Jinting looked at her indifferently, her fingertips sliding over her without resistance.
"You want to escape unscathed, right? Do you have the final say?"
He squeezed Gu Qingyuan's hand and pulled her closer,
"You see clearly who you are making a deal with, you bumped into my hands, and you still want me to let you go?"
"Yes. But you must sleep with me. Although it is the end of summer, I will be a farmer planting late rice."
Gu Qingyuan didn't understand what he was talking about. She kept stopping Pei Jinting from pulling her hand and looked at him in shock.
Pei Jinting's eyes were sinister,
"I would like to give it a try to see if you want me to stay."
It was as cold as ice, and the words Gu Qingyuan wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and she beat Pei Jinting's body with her hands.
