A little girl stumbled a few steps, then staggered and fell forward. Fortunately, Zhao Jie held her tightly in his arms and called out with a smile, "My dear Yan'er."
Yuerong stood aside and smiled happily at such a warm scene. But she saw a servant walking towards her hurriedly with his head down. Yuerong saw that this person was petite and unfamiliar. Just as she was about to speak, she saw him suddenly grab Zhaojie's arm.
Zhao Jie was startled and saw the servant raise his head and reveal his face in the shadow. It was Zhao Pei!
He stared at Zhao Pei's anxious eyes for a long time and could not come back to his senses. He looked around for a long time... This is the Xu Mansion... But how...
"Brother! I have something urgent to ask you!" Zhao Pei lowered her voice and looked around, looking like a thief.
Zhao Jie looked slightly stern. Without saying a word, he handed Zhiyan in his arms to Yuerong, who also looked surprised, and quickly pulled her into the study.
Zhao Pei followed behind, panting, and closed the door tightly: "Xiao Yi played a trick on me! It's not easy to come out!" She angrily pulled off the tilted hat on her head, revealing her black hair.
"Pei Pei, what happened? You and the Seventh Prince..." Zhao Jie guessed secretly. It seemed that he had a quarrel with Xiao Yi. He also heard about the recent events. Just when he wanted to comfort Zhao Pei, she grabbed his arm and asked, "Brother! Did something happen to the prince?"
Zhao Jie was stunned. Prince...
"The prince... has nothing happened recently." Zhao Jie was confused, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, the prince seems to have caught a cold recently and has been recuperating."
"It's just a cold?" Zhao Pei asked immediately. Seeing Qing Lan's excited words, it didn't seem to be that simple.
"Pepe, what happened?" Zhao Jie frowned and pulled her to sit down. "You sneaked out of the house just because of this?"
Zhao Pei opened her mouth, but didn't know whether she should tell him everything. After thinking for a while, she asked again: "Brother, do you know where the Third Prince is these days?"
"The Third Prince has been in the East Palace." Zhao Jie answered her like this. Zhao Pei laughed when she heard it. It was uglier than crying. "Brother, how could a cold cause even the Third Prince to stay? This is definitely not simple."
Zhao Jie said in a daze: "What Yipeipei meant is..." He didn't say it out loud, and suddenly asked her, "Yes, things are a little unusual, why didn't I think of it. Where did you hear this from?"
Zhao Pei smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't worry about where I heard this. I beg you to go to the East Palace. I must know the truth!"
Zhao Jie stared at her thoughtfully. After a long silence, he slowly said, "I... I'm afraid I can't go."
"Why?" Zhao Pei was obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhao Jie to reject her like this.
Zhao Jie's expression became serious, and he said in a muffled voice: "Pepe, you have to know that it is better for us not to interfere in these matters. This is the court, the palace, and the battlefield. It is not for you and me to... The less you know the truth, the safer you are."
Zhao Pei couldn't listen any longer. She sat up suddenly and shouted angrily: "Brother! How can you say that! He is not someone else! You were not like this before!" You were not like this before.
He said sullenly, "I have always been like this. It was just that Pepe didn't understand before. I advise you to go home early and not interfere in these matters. No matter who he is, it has nothing to do with you!"
Zhao Pei glared at him and bit her lips so hard that they almost bled. How could she, who was so stubborn, let herself get away with this? From Qinglan's tone, it seemed that Xiao Tong's condition was very critical. How could she tolerate that the person she was just chatting with disappeared without a trace in the next moment, and his life or death was unknown
"Okay, since my brother doesn't want to, I won't force him. I will solve it myself." Zhao Pei turned around resolutely, but after taking a few steps, she felt a pain in her neck and fell into darkness...
The moment she fell down, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
How could it be, it is like this. (To be continued)
