Chapter 149 If I were King Wei, I would never let you comfort the princess even if I died.
"I said, the deceased is gone. Ah Xun regards you as his master. Dying for the master is the fate of a dead man. There is no need to feel sad."
Yu Xiuyun obviously didn't feel that he was wrong. He carefully considered every word.
"Is there more?" The smile on Xie Xuan's face could no longer hold.
"I comforted Wanwan. Ah Xun has always been good-tempered. I definitely don't want you to cry because of this before you die."
Xie Xuan: "..."
She was silent for a while and looked at the man in front of her sincerely, "I know that you have some issues with King Wei, and I also know that men generally dislike their brother-in-law, but there is no need for you to trick him like this."
"Yu Xiuyun, do you know what you said? If I were King Wei, I would never let you comfort the princess even if I died."
Marquis Pingyang frowned and said, "What did I say wrong?"
"Every word is wrong."
"Based on Wanwan's temperament, she must have felt uncomfortable thinking about the appearance of Marquis Jiangling when he died." Yu Xiuyun lowered his head and said seriously.
Xie Xuan laughed "ha" and shook her head, "You are hopeless. I have nothing to say to men."
She turned around and pulled Yu Tingwan to the carriage, and said seriously: "Princess, I will take you back."
On the way, Xie Xuan looked at the fairy-like and beautiful woman in front of her, but her eyes were red, which made her look very pitiful. She hesitated to speak several times.
As the carriage arrived at Prince Wei's Mansion, Yu Tingwan finally said, "Sister-in-law, please sit with me in the mansion for a while."
She lowered her eyelashes and said with a trembling voice, "I don't want to see King Wei now."
Xie Xuan opened her eyes slightly, scolded Yu Xiuyun again in her heart, held her cold hand, and said sincerely: "Princess, if you have any questions about feelings in the future, don't ask your brother, he is too stupid."
"You are so stupid. Your brain is focused on studying and doing politics, and you know nothing about the rest." Xie Xuan's almond-shaped eyes were so serious that she finally made Yu Tingwan smile.
To be fair, Xie Xuan didn't want to enter Prince Wei's palace at all, for fear of encountering the giant Buddha of Prince Wei.
He could be more gentle around the princess, but at other times, he was so majestic that even if he didn't say a word, people wouldn't dare to look directly at her.
Fortunately, Yu Tingwan took her to the backyard and saw no sign of King Wei along the way.
Xie Xuan deliberately did not mention King Wei, but talked about other things and said with a smile: "The Wang family has gone to the Shen family to propose marriage. Shen Liu Niang has longed for the third son of Wang, and now she finally got what she wanted."
"Shen Liu Niang sent a servant to deliver a letter to me, specifically telling me about this." Yu Tingwan's red lips curled up slightly, "It's great that we were childhood sweethearts."
She thought for a moment and remembered that Pei Zhi had praised Third Young Master Wang for being young, yet not a bit extravagant and romantic like a nobleman, and that he was quite talented and knew how to advance and retreat. She said sincerely: "You can trust Third Young Master Wang, and he will definitely be able to play the piano and harp in the future." Harmony."
"The princess is so sure. Could it be that she believed Shen Liuniang's kind words." Xie Xuan coughed lightly and said seriously: "Huan Siniang said that when evaluating young men, you must never listen to what his admirers say. .”
Yu Tingwan remembered Huan Siniang's expression when she said this, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
When it got dark, she sent Xie Xuan to the east gate where the carriage was parked.
Passing the verandah on the way, at the corner, the smiling Marquis Pingyang suddenly became serious. Seeing no one around, she said softly: "It's not surprising if the princess likes King Wei. You can't tell Yu Xiuyun, but in front of me, it doesn't matter." It’s so hidden.”
The originally silent woman seemed to be shocked, her whole body stiffened, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Xuan, her fingertips pinched until her palms turned red, and she whispered softly: "I don't like King Wei, sister-in-law, don't joke with me."
Xie Xuan's throat was choked. She didn't expect the princess to react so strongly. She openly said in the palace that she had no affection for King Wei.
Just as Mrs. Pingyang Hou was rejoicing that she had deliberately not let her maid follow her today, so no one should hear her, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark purple dress at the corner.
Slowly moving his gaze upwards, he saw the tall man with a pale face and eyes as cold as a pool, making his bones run cold just by looking at him.
Xie Xuan's scalp suddenly became numb and her legs were trembling a little. She boldly grabbed Yu Tingwan's hand, silently protected her behind her and bowed to King Wei.
Not sure whether King Wei would blame the princess, Xie Xuan lowered her head and began to help her suffer: "Your Highness, the princess is not feeling well today. She had palpitations when she was in the Marquis Mansion. The doctor told her not to be frightened."
Pei Zhi's eyes were fixed on Yu Tingwan's face. The red sandalwood-embedded glazed palace lantern at the eaves of the corridor cast a cold light, making the scarlet color at the end of her eyes particularly dazzling.
After asking his servant to see Xie Xuan off, he stepped forward, took the hand of the woman in front of him, looked at the red mark on her palm, and finally said, "Are you so afraid of me?"
He slowly stroked Yu Tingwan's cheek, paused with his fingertips at the end of his eyes, and said in silence for a moment, "Don't worry, I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything."
"You're not feeling well. Wait until you return to Guanju Hospital and ask the female doctor to come over."
"No need." Yu Tingwan said softly, "It's much better now."
Pei Zhi nodded slightly, wrapped her hand in his palm, and walked back to the backyard along the veranda.
Tonight, the moon was covered by light clouds, the night was thick, and her vision was blurred. Her senses were particularly keen. Yu Tingwan could even hear the rapid breathing of the person next to her, and the palms that were clasping her tightly, which were stronger than usual.
Her wrist was squeezed so hard that she tried to pull her hand away. The man next to her suddenly stopped and lowered his head to see clearly.
"Did Marquis Pingyang leave the city today?"
"Went to the outskirts of Beijing."
He held the slender wrist harder and harder, as if the person in front of him was about to fly away, and asked in a low voice: "Where have you been?"
No one answered for a long time, and his tone was dry: "You said last night that I couldn't go with you."
"No."
The two-word answer seemed extremely perfunctory and false. Pei Zhi remained silent, slightly released her wrist, and sighed softly: "Let's go."
*
As soon as Yu Tingwan opened her eyes, she noticed someone holding her arms tightly around her. Her heart skipped a beat. Xi Mian had said that the injury on King Wei's shoulder was best for lying down at night.
She buried her head next to Pei Zhi's neck and moved her body. She looked up and saw his eyelashes were tightly closed and his brows were slightly furrowed. She felt strange that this was the first time she woke up earlier than him.
The hand around her waist suddenly tightened, and Yu Tingwan was caught off guard and strangled. Her whole body was pressed against him, and her chest was squeezed so tight that she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Pei Zhi opened his eyes and saw the scene in his arms. His throat moved slightly but he did not let go. His palm squeezed into the gap between the two of them and slowly moved up.
"The doctor said no."
There was a hint of panic in the woman's soft and melodious voice.
Yesterday's depression was deep in my heart, and as the night passed, it became even more difficult to control it. His voice was cold: "Wanwan, you met Marquis Pingyang yesterday, and you no longer have nightmares at night."
There was something in his words: "I allow you to see him."
Yu Tingwan thought about this sentence and murmured: "You asked me to go."
She was stunned for a long time, and her body relaxed unconsciously. She had no idea what her subconscious reaction meant in Pei Zhi's eyes.
