It was impossible for the emperor and the empress not to return to the palace forever. Before returning to the palace, the empress insisted on moving Pei Jinting to the palace to recuperate from his injuries.
Although the emperor disagreed, his attitude was not very tough. He was somewhat reluctant.
This proposal was rejected by Pei Jinting.
The queen sat beside the couch and stared at Pei Jinting.
The tenderness and tenderness that Pei Jinting had when he was in coma was gone, and the two of them seemed to be enemies with swords against each other.
"You are my nephew, why can't you go to the palace to recuperate?"
"Can't mean can't."
"Pei Jinting."
The queen was so angry that she called him by his first name.
Pei Jinting was leaning on the head of the bed, his cheekbones were sunken, and his eyebrows looked particularly dark because of his bad complexion.
He raised his eyebrows,
"I am just my nephew, not my son. How can I enter the palace to recuperate? Your Majesty, is that so?"
The queen wanted to eat him. Who did she leave the palace for?
He didn't even wait for the imperial court to set up the guard of honor and rushed here. Aren't you worried about him?
She glared and said, "How dare you not listen to what I say?"
Gu Qingyuan was outside the door and could tell that the queen was angry at being rejected.
She already wanted to show off her majesty as a queen.
The queen blurted out such words, and one can imagine how angry she was at this time.
Gu Qingyuan's heart was hanging in the air.
She didn't want Pei Jinting to enter the palace.
Since the injury, she hasn't had the chance to take a closer look at him.
She calmly listened to the conversation in the room.
Pei Jinting coughed, his breath was not enough,
"If your Majesty displays the majesty of a Queen, I will obey your orders..."
The Queen snorted coldly.
If the decree was really issued to move people to the palace, they would not feel at ease living there.
She turned her gaze to the emperor. The emperor did not help, but reminded the queen softly, "It's getting late..."
"I know that you are unwilling to enter the palace because of the Gu family. I heard that you were assassinated, and I really wanted to kill her..."
Pei Jinting originally lowered his eyes. After hearing the words, he suddenly looked at the queen with sharp eyes.
The queen was shocked and secretly called her lucky.
When she came out of the palace that day and saw Gu Qingyuan, she was indeed tempted to kill her, but when she thought of Pei Jinting, she was a bit jealous.
"For your sake, I will spare her."
She knew Pei Jinting's thoughts. Originally, Gu Qingyuan helped her bring down Concubine Lu after passing the Fu'i Pond in the palace.
She was a little soft-hearted and thought it would be okay to just let them live together.
After the assassination, the queen felt that she still couldn't give in.
"However, I have a condition." She seemed to throw out a bait,
"You don't need to go to the palace to recuperate. As for you and Gu... let's talk about it from now on."
Pei Jinting glanced at the queen and looked away indifferently.
"There are so many good girls in the world, and Mingxiang's granddaughter, who is dignified, elegant, and has first-rate talents and looks, is the best candidate for Mrs. Pei Sanshao."
The queen took a deep breath and closed her eyes, but she still couldn't help but asked, "Do you have to separate our aunt and nephew for a woman?"
"Okay, Zitong." The emperor patted the handle of the chair and stood up, "There is nothing wrong with Jingheng staying in the mansion to recuperate. If you are really worried, put more people here."
"Just order someone to send a message to the palace. He is not a three-year-old child and does not need your care. What's more, you are an aunt, not your mother..."
The queen looked at the emperor's extended hand and said, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, right?"
She could feel the emperor's firm grip on her hand.
You can also feel the emperor's eyes looking over, which seem gentle, but actually contain a deeper meaning.
The queen was very upset, but she had to force a smile and left many people behind. Before leaving, she called the leading aunt in charge and gave her detailed instructions.
He went to Pei Jinting's bed again, looked at Pei Jinting, and said softly,
"Since you don't want to enter the palace, that's all. Now that I and Your Majesty have been out of the palace for a long time, they will go back. You can recover well and come to see you another day."
"Yes. Congratulations to Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
The queen patted his hand tenderly, then stood up and walked away with the emperor.
Outside the door, Gu Qingyuan was lying on the ground, listening to the footsteps of the emperor and the empress gradually disappearing, and finally the whole courtyard became quiet and lifeless.
In front of the house, there were many guards standing.
Gu Qingyuan couldn't stay in front of Pei Jinting's bed for the past two days, so she simply made a place in the side room and copied scriptures.
In the past two days, she hasn't stopped much. At this moment, there are many scriptures piled on the desk.
There was no one in the house, so instead of going back to continue copying scriptures, she went to the place where Pei Jinting was recovering from his injuries.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly stopped in front of her.
She is the housekeeper left by the queen.
She said, "Madam, you want to visit the young master? The young master was tired just now and is about to take a rest. Madam, it is better not to disturb him."
Gu Qingyuan looked at the steward in front of her who looked like she was chasing people away. She smiled lightly, half-lidded her eyes, and said softly,
"Mommy, the person lying inside is my husband. How can I disturb you if I go in?"
No wonder the queen called this nanny aside before leaving, thinking that she should not be allowed to get close to Pei Jinting.
However, when the stewardess saw it, she frowned and said,
"Young Madam, I mean that the young master is already asleep. You are disturbing me if you come in. You don't understand this, right?"
There was a posture that if Gu Qingyuan didn't understand, he would grab her and explain the rules.
"Ayuan, what are you doing standing outside the door? Why don't you come in?"
Behind the steward, the door was opened, and Pei Jinting was being supported. His coat was hanging empty, and the bandage on his chest could still be seen under the loose collar.
His eyes swept over the nanny in front of the door lightly and coldly.
"Third Young Master..." The stewardess never expected that Pei Jinting would stand up and immediately answered cautiously, "Third Young Master, I asked my servant to stay here to take care of you. It is my responsibility not to let other people disturb your recovery."
Pei Jinting's eyes, as clear as glass, fell on the steward, and she didn't look too stern.
But the nanny felt as if she had been pricked by an ice needle, and instantly felt a boundless coldness.
"You are a servant left by the Queen, and I think you are trusted by the Queen. But who gave you the courage to make irresponsible remarks and point fingers at my wife? Prevent us from seeing each other?"
The steward was horrified and felt miserable. She cried and begged for mercy in front of Pei Jinting.
I will definitely stop Gu Qingyuan from entering the house next time.
However, she made a mental note to Gu Qingyuan, thinking that she should go back to the palace and file a complaint.
Inside the house, Gu Qingyuan helped Pei Jinting lie down on the couch again, then squatted on the footrest and looked at him seriously.
"Does it hurt?" she asked softly. Tears hung silently on her face.
Pei Jinting looked at her like this and wanted to comfort her, but what he said was, "It's not as painful as when you have evil intentions towards me and get interested."
There seemed to be a hint of wisdom hidden in the man's dark eyes as he looked at her calmly.
The atmosphere was a bit strange, Gu Qingyuan's fingertips moved slightly, and she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.
