"Thirty thousand taels! Thirty thousand taels! Thirty thousand taels!" She sighed, "I have never seen so much money in my life! Now I have to give it to someone else in the blink of an eye!"
Pei Zheng walked beside her, "It's my money that's being spent."
"Your money is no longer money! Ah! We can't stay in this damn villa any longer. Call my little disciple and we have to leave quickly!"
Pei Zheng looked up at her and said indifferently, "I can't leave. The lake is frozen and I'm afraid it won't melt in a day or two."
Shen Huan sighed for a long time, then said, "I almost forgot, where is my little disciple? I haven't seen him all day. Does he know that his beloved master almost died because of him?"
As they were talking, the two of them had almost reached the three-story pavilion, but Pei Zheng remained silent.
Shen Huan asked, "Master Pei, didn't you hear me? Where is my little disciple? Isn't he always with you?"
Pei Zheng then said "hmm" lazily, apparently not wanting Shen Huan to say more.
Shen Huan was such an experienced person that she immediately had a lot of random thoughts in her mind, and then her heart skipped a beat, "No way"
"Master Pei, you and my little disciple have only known each other for a short time, it shouldn't have come to that point, right?"
After saying this, without waiting for Pei Zheng to answer, Shen Huan ran into the pavilion.
He pushed open the door and shouted, "My little disciple!"
Unfortunately, no one responded.
Shen Huan ran up to the second floor and saw Shen Shijiu's clothes scattered all over the floor. A small section of his white and tender arm was exposed from behind the curtain.
Shen Huan walked over trembling, lifted the thick curtain a little, then covered his eyes and looked through his fingers.
She suddenly let the curtain down again, and her old face turned red uncontrollably, but fortunately the mask blocked it from being seen.
"Master Shen."
Pei Zheng's slightly cold voice sounded behind him, "Your ears are red."
Shen Huan turned around and said, "I know!"
She really couldn't accept it all of a sudden. Her precious little disciple whom she had raised for so long was actually taken advantage of by someone, and it was taken quite badly, which could be seen from the marks on his body that she had just seen.
Pei Zheng walked around Shen Huan, calmly walked to the bedside, pulled up the half arm that was exposed outside, and gently put it back into the curtain.
Shen Huan felt that she was having difficulty breathing staying here, so she gave Pei Zheng a look.
"Master Pei, please come."
Then Shen Huan went downstairs first and waited on the first floor.
Pei Zheng opened the curtain and saw the little man half-lying down with the quilt having slipped to his waist. Fortunately, the charcoal fire in the room was burning brightly, otherwise he would have caught a cold again.
But the back, which was originally as smooth as jade, was now dotted with red marks, which was really heartwarming.
Pei Zheng pulled the quilt together for the little one who was still sleeping soundly.
Shen Nineteen's long eyelashes trembled, and suddenly he opened his eyes slightly.
"Brother Pei, is it dawn yet?"
It's already dark again.
Pei Zheng smiled and smoothed the soft black hair on his side.
"No, go to sleep."
"Oh." Shen Shijiu arched the pillow, buried his head deep in the quilt, and fell asleep again.
Pei Zheng went downstairs and saw Shen Huan standing in the middle of the first floor with a serious look on his face.
"Ahem, Master Pei, I think we should have a good chat about Shen Shijiu."
Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Actually, there is something I have never told you."
Shen Huan thought about it and felt that this matter could not be hidden from Pei Zheng. If Pei Zheng really investigated it, he would probably find out everything about that small foreign tribe.
"I am also an outsider, and I am related to Shi by blood, so he is not only my little apprentice, but also my relative."
Pei Zheng did not show much surprise when he heard the news. Shen Huan immediately realized that Pei Zheng must have known about it a long time ago.
"Well, what else?"
As expected, Pei Zheng's tone was neither cold nor indifferent.
"That is to say, I know Shi's true identity." Shen Huan looked at Pei Zheng and said word by word, "He is the prince of the Celestial Empire, Qi Changyi."
Hearing this familiar name again, Pei Zheng's expression finally changed.
Shen Huan continued, "I'm afraid few people know what happened to the prince before. Lord Pei, you should be the one who knows it best."
Pei Zheng's eyes gradually turned cold, and his fingers tapped silently on the table.
Seeing his cold look, Shen Huan became afraid to say something.
"Master Pei, can I ask you for a favor?"
Shen Huan said, "I just ask you, no matter what happens, don't hurt him."
Pei Zheng suddenly smiled.
This is nature.
Not only will they not hurt him, but they will also hold him in the palm of their hands and protect him carefully.
This was his lost and recovered treasure, it was his heart and liver, how could he bear to hurt it
Shen Huan left the pavilion and went to Zhao Litang's place.
No one knew what had happened to Yue Nu's body, and Wu Quan came hurriedly to call her over. Shen Huan was still worried about her little disciple, and she had something very important to tell Pei Zheng before she was pulled away by Wu Quan.
After Shen Huan left, Pei Zheng went back upstairs.
The night is getting dark, it's time to rest.
The candlelight in the pavilion flickered twice and then suddenly went out.
In the following days, the ice on the lake slowly melted, and everyone had to live in the villa.
Those adults who needed to attend court were very anxious and didn't go to the palace for several days. They didn't know how the emperor would blame them.
Pei Zheng didn't have to attend court originally. In the past few days, the emperor had summoned him every day, and he was a little annoyed. Now he was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Shen Shijiu lived in Pei Zheng's house, a three-story building. He originally lived alone and felt lonely and empty, but now he felt very warm.

It wasn't snowing outside anymore, but the snow outside the building was still very thick and deep.
Shen Shijiu went out to play in the snow during the day, making snowmen and snowballs by himself. Although it was such a boring and monotonous task, he had a lot of fun.
Pei Zheng leaned against the door, watching the little man having fun in the snow. Seeing him so happy, Pei Zheng also felt a lot brighter in his heart.
And when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, you could always hear some sobbing in the room, and then it would slowly subside with the gentle coaxing of a deep voice.
By the fifth day, Shen Shijiu's wounds had healed and he had forgotten the pain. As soon as daybreak came, he forgot the tossing and turning in the night and happily dived into the snow to play.
I don’t know why he loves snow so much.
Pei Zheng leaned against the door again, planning to carry the little guy into the house after he had played enough.
Suddenly, he heard a noise in the air, and saw a white dove breaking through the snow and flying to Pei Zheng's side.
Pei Zheng took the paper off the pigeon's leg and unfolded it, but saw that there was not a single word on the paper, only a drop of blood-red mark.
This white pigeon was trained by the Pei family's secret guard camp and only obeys the orders of the secret guards. This one must have been sent out by Chengfeng in the palace.
Why is there only one drop of blood
Pei Zheng tightly grasped the note. Could something have happened to the palace
Counting it up, Chengfeng has been in the palace since the day they arrived at Liuyun Villa, and it has been five days now.
A lot of things can happen in the imperial palace, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
The reason why he entered the palace was because something happened to Jiang Yubai, and Pei Zheng asked him to go and investigate, and also to protect Jiang Yubai secretly.
But now, I don’t know what exactly happened.
Pei Zheng walked out the door and said to the little man in the snow pile, "Come here."
Shen Shijiu put down what he was holding, ran over in a crooked manner, stood in front of Pei Zheng and blinked his eyes, being incredibly well-behaved.
Pei Zheng squeezed his cold little hand and said, "Let's go home."
Knowing that Pei Zheng was about to return, although the owner of the Qian family felt that the lake outside was not suitable for sailing, he had no way to refuse.
When the other adults saw Pei Zheng was about to leave, they couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to leave together.
In the end, everyone got back on the big ship they came from and returned the same way they came.
There was still some broken ice on the lake, but it did not have much impact, and the cruise ship safely brought everyone back to the imperial capital.
Until they got off the cruise ship, Wei Yiren never appeared in front of Pei Zheng and Shen Shijiu again.
Yue Nu's body has fully recovered.
Shen Huan and Shen Shijiu went to the general's mansion first, packed their luggage, and then returned to the prime minister's mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw this familiar gloomy mansion, Shen Huan actually began to feel at home.
Maybe it was because Pei Zheng paid 30,000 taels for him.
When Li Yu saw Shen Shijiu, he hurried over and looked Shen Shijiu up and down, left and right, making sure that he was intact before he felt relieved.
But there was something wrong in Li Yu's eyes when he looked at Shen Huan. After all, he had just sent someone to send out 30,000 taels on behalf of his master, all for buying three herbs for Shen Huan.
He was wondering what kind of magic medicine could be so expensive
Shen Huan was wondering why he didn't see Pei Zheng. Didn't he go back home first
Then Shen Shijiu asked, "Butler Li, where did the master go?"
Li Yu said, "Oh, the master went straight to the palace as soon as he came back. I don't know what happened. Maybe the palace has announced something again."
However, Pei Zheng did not come back until dark.
In the past, even when the emperor summoned him, it never lasted this long.
Just as the people in the mansion were worried, a servant who had gone with Pei Zheng came running back in a hurry.
"Master Shen! Master Shen! Something happened in the palace!"
