Pei Jinting lifted up his robe and sat down opposite Prince Jing with a deep look in his eyes, "Don't make random guesses."
Prince Jing thought of Gu Qingyuan, a good girl whom the noble family in Kyoto could only watch from a distance but never play with.
Looking at the prodigal in front of me, it becomes even more pity.
He was angry and heartbroken,
"Pei Xiaosan, you are really going too far. I thought you came to Qin's house to get your wife back, but I didn't expect you came to steal fragrance and jade."
"This time, don't expect me to be on your side."
It's really outrageous.
Pei Jinting glanced at him lightly and raised an eyebrow.
"Then, when I return to the capital, I will report to His Majesty that you are not reliable in your work and I will stop you."
"Ahem. Pei Xiaosan. Duke Zhen Guo should have returned to the border a long time ago. But some time ago, you used the excuse of catching bandits to imprison him in the middle of the capital."
"My father-in-law, you can do it. Forget it. What else do you want me to do? I'll just give you some time to steal things."
Pei Jinting looked at Prince Jing's dog-legged posture and raised his eyelids as if nothing had happened.
"I don't need your help."
He changed his sitting position and happened to be able to see the screen in the inner room. Behind the screen, there was a slender figure reflected above.
The small coat, outer blouse, petticoat, and dressing movements came to his eyes like a puppet show.
He turned the ring in his hand casually and asked,
"How's the matter that I asked you to inquire about?"
When Prince Jing heard this, he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and said seriously,
"We have some clues. The Qin family and the Ming family have been colluding together for a long time. Judging from Master Qin's words, the Ming family has long been on the side of the eldest prince."
"Concubine Lu was able to enter the palace back then because she was the helper of the old Prime Minister Ming Dynasty."
Pei Jinting looked a little solemn,
"Okay. In a few days, you can find an excuse to go on a patrol and go to the Ming family's old house."
Prince Jing shook his folding fan, looking like a noble man, and clicked his tongue twice,
"We are leaving. Are you willing to let go of the eldest daughter of the Gu family and the little beauty in your tent?"
He signaled with a wink.
Although this is nonsense, Gu Qingyuan's current situation is indeed inseparable from people.
He stared at the figure behind the screen in the inner room, fully dressed.
Pei Jinting's eyes were attracted unconsciously and he did not move away even a minute.
Seeing him looking so full of love, Prince Jing sighed, curled his lips and said casually,
"You should take it easy, or the boat will capsize...you want the support of the Duke of Zhenguo..."
Pei Jinting chuckled, "Shut up, you can go."
His lips were pursed tightly.
It seemed that the topic was very serious. Although Prince Jing was not in tune, seeing him like this, he cupped his hands, stood up and said ambiguously,
"Okay, okay. I won't disturb the love between you two anymore."
He thought he was very charming and left coolly.
Pei Jinting watched Prince Jing leave and stood with his eyes lowered for a while, then turned and went to the inner room.
Behind the screen, Gu Qingyuan was bending down to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground, some of which were torn.
Especially her little coat, the knot of the tie was accidentally tied into a tight knot, and it couldn't be untied for a long time. Pei Jinting tore it off casually...
She still remembered the tearing squeak.
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips, her eyes fell on the empty box, and a large blush appeared on her cheeks.
She really felt that she was being manipulated by Pei Jinting.
The overly messy scene instantly brought back absurd memories in her mind.
Before she could pick up the scattered clothes, someone grabbed her around the waist.
"Let me go."
The voice of the person behind him lost the coldness he had just outside.
Gu Qingyuan turned her back to him.
If last night was originally caused by the medicinal properties and used chaos to deceive myself,
But later, her mind cleared up, but she still let herself sink.
She couldn't help but feel helpless in her heart.
Just leave it like that, it doesn't matter if you don't care.
If God really wants to punish, let her bear it.
"I should go back." Her voice was a little tired.
I didn't return home last night, and I don't know how scared Shuangwu will be.
Just in case things get too big.
"Don't worry. Your maid won't find out." Pei Jinting held her waist and asked her to sit on the soft couch.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the sky outside, feeling a little hesitant. Suddenly, she remembered what Prince Jing had just said.
"The Ming family, is it the residence of the old Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty? There is also the matter of Concubine Lu entering the palace. My mother..."
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips tightly. Even if she only said a few words, she could still guess that what Prince Jing said must be related to the Qin family's affairs back then.
The drugs on her body all point to the Qin family. Someone within the Qin family targeted the Qin family and ruined her life.
It's not a pity that the Qin family didn't enter the palace. The Qin family lost their innocence that year, if the Duke of Zhen Guo hadn't married her.
She may be accompanied by the Green Lantern and Ancient Buddha all her life.
She looked at Pei Jinting with clear eyes, but her heart was ups and downs.
Pei Jinting frowned. He went out on patrol on behalf of the emperor because he found out about the old Prime Minister Ming's secret affairs in the capital.
Your Majesty is the king after all. Who would want his ministers to collude with the prince when he is still in his prime?
Also, the old prime minister of the Ming Dynasty was involved in the Qin family's affairs back then, and he could never let go of what he couldn't get. Therefore, His Majesty was also very angry.
Pei Jinting didn't want her to worry about things outside, so he deliberately started talking and asked her,
"How long do you plan to stay at the Qin family?"
Men have to take care of the things ahead.
The woman should have spent her days leisurely in the back house.
In short, he will do it well.
Gu Qingyuan turned away, why would she risk her life just to come to Rencheng?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, she is very willful and does not know how to enjoy her blessings.
In many families, when men do something outside, they only tell the women one result, and they don't tell the women at all about the process in between.
I always feel that women with long hair have short knowledge.
She didn't want to be that kind of person with a black eye.
Ever since she was little, she has made her own decisions in everything. Although she is sometimes weak, she is not cowardly.
Gu Qingyuan pushed him away and laughed, wishing she could knock Pei Jinting on the head like those women in the countryside.
"Don't even think about changing the subject. If you don't tell me, I will investigate it myself. Don't blame me if the mess becomes difficult to clean up."
With such a posture and such bright eyes, Pei Jinting rested his elbows on the small table. He did not feel disgusted, but felt that this girl finally regarded him as a supporter.
He pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and coaxed in a low voice,
"I'm going to the countryside in a few days, will you go?"
Gu Qingyuan looked at him thoroughly with her clear eyes. After a long while, she nodded slightly.
Now she lives in the Qin family, and if she wants to go out, she always has to find a reason.
When she was returning from Pei Jinting's yard, she happened to meet Shuang Wu coming out of the door.
"Girl, I wanted to call you early in the morning, but I didn't see you. Why did you come back from outside?" Shuangwu wondered.
Gu Qingyuan pressed her temples with a handkerchief, "I woke up early and went for a walk in the garden."
Shuang Wu brought water into the room to help Gu Qingyuan wash up, and said,
"I just sent a message from Miss Lu, wanting to invite her to go to Qinglong Temple to offer incense and play."
