Jiang Yubai didn't need to go and take Pei Zheng's pulse. Seeing Pei Zheng's weak appearance, he knew what was going on. He must have been practicing his internal strength again.
Ever since he fell off the cliff and was injured, Pei Zheng's body has suffered severe damage. Every time he uses his internal force, he will suffer a more serious backlash, but he always forcefully uses his internal force without caring about his own wounded body.
Jiang Yubai wanted to go forward to check Pei Zheng's pulse and see how badly he was injured, but before he could go over, Pei Zheng gave him a cold look and froze him in his tracks.
"Okay, I know you don't want to see me, and I'm annoyed by you." Jiang Yubai said, "But your injury has to be cured..."
"How about this, I'll let my two apprentices come and take a look at the whole thing for you."
"Apprentice?" Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, they are two talented children who were just admitted to the Imperial Hospital. One is called Zhou Wu and the other is called Shen Shijiu."
Hearing his own name, Shen Shijiu's nervous body stiffened under the quilt, and the hand on his waist pressed down again.
Jiang Yubai looked at Qi Bingzhi and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to bring them here, but I heard that the Second Princess' condition has worsened, so I thought, why not order them to stay in the mansion temporarily and take care of the Second Princess at all times."
After hearing this, Qi Bingzhi covered his mouth and nose and coughed twice.
"So Doctor Jiang has this consideration. He is really thoughtful."
Jiang Yubai nodded to her and said, "Then I will go and tell them something first, so as not to disturb Master Pei's rest. I will ask them to come and see you later."
After saying this, Jiang Yubai tactfully left the small building.
Qi Bingzhi winked at Li Yu and asked him to leave as well. Li Yu reluctantly went to look at Pei Zheng, but Pei Zheng had already leaned against the bed with his eyes closed. Li Yu had no choice but to leave with the others.
Qi Bingzhi was standing quite far away from the bed and couldn't see Pei Zheng's face clearly.
He hasn't been home for five days.
The huge prime minister's residence was filled with loneliness and coldness. If you stayed there for a long time, you would feel as if you were in a cold winter, and your heart would be chilled to the bone.
"grown ups… "
Pei Zheng heard the voice and raised his eyelids to look over.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Qi Bingzhi personally carried the bowl of hot soup and took two steps forward.
"Are you feeling better, my Lord?"
"It will be better if it is a little quieter."
Qi Bingzhi bit her lip and said, "Drink the soup first, it will be cold soon."
Pei Zheng was very upset and had to use all his strength to suppress the internal force that was running wild in his body. After spitting out blood today, there was still a fishy and sweet taste in his throat.
However, the smell of blood also had a hint of bitterness. Pei Zheng touched the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, thinking of the touch he had just felt on his lips.
Warm, delicate, soft, with a light sweet milky aroma...
What is it
Suddenly, Pei Zheng felt a warm current coming from deep within his body, running along his veins, penetrating his limbs and bones, and slowly calming down his chaotic internal energy.
He was a little surprised that the pill he had just swallowed could have such a great effect.
Seeing his face change, Qi Bingzhi put the bowl aside, walked to the bed anxiously, and put his hand on Pei Zheng's arm.
"My Lord, what's wrong with you? Is your wound hurting again?"
Pei Zheng raised his hand and tried to wave her hand away, but he didn't control his strength well, and a stream of true energy flowed out from his palm, directly knocking Qi Bingzhi to the ground.
Qi Bingzhi's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She knew Pei Zheng didn't like her and was just using her, but she never expected that Pei Zheng would actually do something to her.
Pei Zheng struggled to retract the true energy flowing out of his palm, glanced at Qi Bingzhi who was sitting on the ground, and his eyes were rarely less cold.
Qi Bingzhi was immediately secretly delighted, and he bit his tongue hard, leaving a streak of blood at the corner of his mouth, with a look of heartbreak.
"Sir, I just want to care about you..."
"No need." Pei Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, "Go back and rest."
Qi Bingzhi knew that it was useless to say more at this moment, and it would be best for her to go back obediently. She held back her tears, looked gentle and virtuous, and nodded.
Qi Bingzhi propped himself up and stood up, but suddenly he swayed a few times, then he screamed and rushed to the bed.
Pei Zheng was unable to push her away, so most of Qi Bingzhi's body was leaning on Pei Zheng's arm.
The weather today was actually a little cold, but Qi Bingzhi was wearing very thin clothes. When she fell down, the curves of her body were fully exposed.
She straightened up in panic, but when she raised her head, she actually saw a small bulge under the quilt on the bed.
Suddenly, Qi Bingzhi's body froze on the spot. She widened her eyes slightly, staring at the bulge, her breathing trembling a little.
This obvious outline clearly shows that there is a person hidden inside.
Who is it! Who dares to lie on this bed! Who dares to lie next to Pei Zheng!
Could it be that when she didn't know, there was someone else next to Pei Zheng
Impossible! Pei Zheng was clearly still secretly searching for Qi Changyi's whereabouts. He still didn't believe that Qi Changyi was really dead, so how could he accept someone else
No matter who he is, she will not let him off easily!
Qi Bingzhi's face was a little embarrassed, and there was cruelty in her eyes. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to see who this person was.
She quickly reached over Pei Zheng's body, grabbed the quilt and was about to pull it open. A corner of the quilt was lifted up, revealing a small piece of plain white robe underneath.
Before Qi Bingzhi could completely lift the quilt, someone suddenly pinched her wrist. With a slight force, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.
The pain suddenly awakened her reason. She quickly hid the emotions on her face and raised her tearful eyes to look at Pei Zheng, but saw that Pei Zheng was just lazily glancing at her with half-open eyes.

Qi Bingzhi knew that he had overstepped the line, and moved his wrist, "Sir, what you need most now is to rest, or... or not to be disturbed by others.
"Others?" Pei Zheng sneered, "Second Princess is dazzled. Apart from you, there is no one else here."
Qi Bingzhi stared at the bottom of the quilt, shaking with anger, but could only speak in a low voice, "I know that adults can't tolerate anyone, but there are always some ungrateful villains who approach adults with some ulterior motives. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives..."
"Oh?" Pei Zheng gently pulled and took in the complicated expression on Qi Bingzhi's face. He really wanted to tear off her disguise, but he didn't expect her to be so patient.
"What is the Second Princess thinking?"
Qi Bingzhi's expression froze and he started crying in extreme grievance.
"My Lord, is this what you think of me? I... I have never had any unreasonable thoughts. I just want to be with you like this... That's all... I believe that one day you will forget the past and forget those unpleasant things..."
When Pei Zheng heard her words, he felt his blood boiling again. He raised his hand and pushed her away. "Unhappy? When did I say that? Or is it his existence that makes you unhappy?"
Qi Bingzhi was thrown and bumped into the table beside her. She held on to the table to steady herself.
It felt bad to have her secrets suddenly poked at her, and she dug her nails tightly onto the edge of the table.
"I, I never thought of it that way, and I never harmed him. To be honest, it was Rourou who was against him time and time again. It had nothing to do with me! My Lord is still confused and uneasy because of a dead person. I feel sorry for him!"
Pei Zheng's face was terribly gloomy. He suddenly stood up from the bed, swayed twice, and then walked towards Qi Bingzhi.
Qi Bingzhi couldn't help but feel a little scared. His eyes were clearly looking at him, but it was as if he was looking at something cold, without any warmth at all.
Pei Zheng walked up to her and stretched out his hand. His slender fingers were pale white without a trace of blood. The finger bones were clearly protruding, revealing the light blue blood veins underneath.
Qi Bingzhi's neck was gently pinched by a pair of slightly cold fingers. She opened her eyes wide and her breathing became a little difficult.
"I have said before, why am I keeping you here..." Pei Zheng lowered his voice, his eyes suddenly tightened, "I don't need to teach you what to say and what not to say in the future."
Qi Bingzhi's face flushed slightly and tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Now, go back to your Waterside Residence! From now on, you are not allowed to set foot in this back garden again."
Pei Zheng let go of his hand.
After Qi Bingzhi gained her freedom, she took deep breaths. She lowered her head, her eyes full of hatred and jealousy. The hatred was directed at the dead man, and the jealousy was directed at the man hiding in the ** now.
After taking a few deep breaths, Qi Bingzhi put on a pitiful expression, looked at the quiet bed from afar, and finally turned around and left the building.
After Qi Bingzhi left, Pei Zheng suddenly bent down, pressed tightly against the table, and could not move for a long time. Every time he moved, he felt excruciating pain all over his body.
He stood there for a long while before he covered his chest and slowly walked towards the bed.
"stand up."
The person under the quilt struggled but did not come out.
Pei Zheng was impatient and lifted the quilt up with great effort by the corner of the quilt. A small figure lying obediently underneath was revealed.
Shen Shijiu covered his face with his hands and peeked out from between his fingers. He happened to meet Pei Zheng's eyes. He removed his hands and asked in a low voice, "Are they all gone?"
Pei Zheng stared at him without answering, his eyes scanning him imperceptibly.
Shen Shijiu lowered his head in confusion, only to find that there was a slit in his collar, revealing a bit of white skin. His ears felt hot and he hurriedly reached out to pull it up.
Shen Shijiu sat up, his legs finally weakened, and he jumped off the bed nimbly.
"Um, Master Pei, I, I... If there's nothing else, I'll leave first... No, I won't disturb your rest..."
Shen Shijiu had already heard everyone's conversation clearly under the quilt just now. Although he didn't understand many things, he could tell that Pei Zheng was in a very bad mood and it was right for him to escape from here as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, before he could take a step forward, a hand grabbed his arm.
The hand was very light, so light that Shen Shijiu would have been able to break free with just the slightest struggle, but he paused and did not move.
Pei Zheng stood in front of him, a head taller than him, and was now leaning slightly over to look at him, his eyes dark.
Shen Shijiu took a step back unconsciously, and Pei Zheng followed him.
When he saw this man for the first time, Pei Zheng had an inexplicable feeling. At that time, he was holding the spoiled black cat in his arms, but the cat was nestling in his arms obediently without making any noise.
Besides, his extremely slender and delicate body is really, really too familiar...
Shen Shijiu looked innocent and a little scared.
“Who the hell are you!”
"I, I am Shen Nineteen..."
"Are you Jiang Yubai's apprentice?"
Shen Shijiu shook his head, "No, no, my master is not Doctor Jiang..."
"Tell me! Who is your master!" Pei Zheng's tone was a little anxious, and his eyes were very sharp, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Shen Shijiu was stopped by him and his eyes were slightly wet. The man in front of him was really scary. He didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"My master didn't allow me to tell anyone... Don't ask me..."
Shen Shijiu looked like he was about to cry, his little face wrinkled.
His originally bright and clear eyes were now red as he looked at Pei Zheng pitifully. A few crystal clear little pearls hung on his long eyelashes, and they looked like they were about to fall down, which was truly pitiful.
But looking at his sunken nose, slightly upturned nostrils, and somewhat ugly mouth, his eyes were the only things worth looking at on his face.
Suddenly, Pei Zheng seemed to think of something. He raised his hand with some effort and reached under Shen Shijiu's neck.
Shen Shijiu stood there blankly, not daring to move at all. He could only let the hand push open his clothes, revealing the pure whiteness wrapped in layers of clothes.
The skin on his body was much better than that on his face. It was as white as jade and delicate, as if he had been pampered since childhood.
You can squeeze out water.
—Shen Shijiu couldn't help but shiver when he came into contact with the slightly cold air.
After seeing his smooth collarbone, Pei Zheng couldn't suppress the disappointment in his eyes and touched it lightly with his finger.
No, no tattoos, no red lotus...
Nothing...
Yes, didn’t we see a little bit of it in the restaurant last time? What are you expecting
Are you expecting him to come back to you on his own
How is it possible? If he still had a little hope for you, he wouldn't choose to leave in such a decisive way...
What should you do? What should you do
Pei Zheng closed his eyes and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness rising from the soles of his feet. His consciousness slowly withdrew and his body fell forward.
He still retained a little consciousness when he was unconscious just now, but this time he was completely unconscious.
Shen Shijiu was still with his head down, straightening his collar, and secretly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. As a result, when he looked up, the black shadow in front of him pressed directly towards him.
Shen Shijiu almost subconsciously opened his arms to catch him, but unfortunately this man was a head taller than him, and was not as delicate and petite as Xiao Miaowu who could catch him directly.
He stretched out his hands behind him and embraced him. His head lowered and pressed on Shen Jiujiu's shoulders. His face was facing Shen Jiujiu's neck, and his soft breathing made Shen Jiujiu's neck itchy.
—A warm body suddenly pressed against him tightly, and Shen Shijiu's small body could not support it, and was pressed down onto the bed.
With a loud "bang", the two of them fell onto the soft bed. Shen Shijiu groaned, and his whole body was pressed underneath. The person on top of him was so heavy that he pressed tightly against him. He even had difficulty breathing with his small chest.
"Hurry up... get up... ah... I can't... breathe... anymore..."
But Pei Zheng still lay on him motionless.
Shen Shijiu reached for his arm, pulled it over, put his fingers on it and felt his pulse.
It was nothing serious. The pills he had just taken took effect, but his body was weak and he couldn't withstand the effect of the medicine and fainted.
Shen Shijiu felt relieved and pushed him hard with her little hands on his chest, but unfortunately she couldn't move him after pushing for a long time. Instead, the clothes on his chest felt a little hard, probably because the blood had dried on them.
Shen Shijiu simply stopped moving him, and carefully moved forward bit by bit, and finally moved out from under him.
After these actions, Shen Shijiu's clothes were slightly messy, his hair crown was a little loose, and his ears were red as if bleeding, perhaps because of the heat or something else.
He did not forget to pull the quilt beside him to cover the unconscious person.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Master Pei, I am Zhou Wu from the Imperial Hospital. Imperial Doctor Jiang asked me to take your pulse."
Shen Shijiu suddenly became nervous again and paced around the small building, not knowing where to hide.
Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open.
"Master Pei, Imperial Doctor Jiang said that he would still examine you even if you don't want to, so I'm just going to come in..."
Zhou Wugang walked in and was surprised to see Shen Shijiu.
"Shen Shijiu? Why are you here? The people outside are still looking for you. It turns out you have arrived a long time ago. Why didn't you inform us in advance?"
Zhou Wu walked in while talking.
Shen Shijiu smiled unnaturally, "I... I also found this place by accident... Well, I have already examined Master Pei, let's go quickly and don't disturb the master's rest..."
Shen Shijiu pushed Zhou Wu, who had just entered, out and closed the door of the small building tightly. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Wu looked him up and down with suspicion, then leaned in and said, "Shen Shijiu, you are not very good at lying."
Shen Shijiu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, "No, no... I... I won't, won't lie... Master said that those who lie are not... not... good boy..."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
Zhou Wu grinned, "Hahaha, look at you like this, hahaha, you didn't lie and wrote my name upside down. Tell the truth quickly! Where did you go just now!"
"I just didn't!" Shen Shijiu's voice suddenly became louder, with a serious look on his face, "I just didn't go anywhere!"
As long as his voice is loud enough, he can say that he is not lying.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, look in the mirror first. Your face is full of peach blossoms. Have you fallen in love with some little maid?"
Shen Shijiu felt a little shy when he heard this. "I didn't, don't talk nonsense, let's leave here quickly, is Doctor Jiang still waiting for us?"
He pulled Zhou Wu out, but Zhou Wu pulled him in another direction.
"Oh, you little fool, you went the wrong way! The exit is over there! Oh and, Doctor Jiang went back to the palace first, and asked us to take care of the second princess, so..." Shen Shijiu was puzzled, "So what?"
"… So we will live in the Prime Minister's Residence from now on. Are you happy?"
Shen Shijiu stopped.
They want to live in the Prime Minister’s Mansion!
This means I have to live under the same roof with Pei Zheng!

"Aren't you going to hurry up? Why did you stop again?" Zhou Wuzhe turned around and pulled Shen Shijiu who was still standing there, "We still have to go to Shuixieju to see the second princess. We can't afford to delay things. Let's go quickly..."
Shen Shijiu let Zhou Wu pull him away, out of the back garden, through the bamboo forest, and came to the gate of Shuixieju.
Zhou Wu knocked on the door and the maid went in to report. After a long while, the door was reopened.
"You two go in, and remember to speak quietly. The princess is tired and is ready to rest."
The two responded and walked in lightly.
This waterside residence is completely different from the small building in the back garden. The decoration inside is extremely luxurious, with pink curtains everywhere. The wind blows through the room.
Floating in the air, exuding a faint and alluring fragrance.
There was a thick blanket under their feet, so the two of them didn't make any noise.
Qi Bingzhi was half lying on a recliner in the inner room. Her face could not be seen clearly through the gauze curtain.
"Meet the Second Princess."
"Meet the Second Princess."
Shen Shijiu and Zhou Wu saluted obediently.
"No need to be so polite, please stand up quickly."
Qi Bingzhi's voice sounded very gentle.
"Princess..." The little maid beside her brought a wooden stool and asked Qi Bingzhi to stretch out her wrist and place it on it.
There were several clear red marks on Qi Bingzhi's wrist, and it looked slightly swollen, as if he had been injured recently.
Zhou Wu walked forward very attentively and said respectfully, "Princess, I will check your wounds for you."
"Thank you."
Qi Bingzhi's wrist was placed on the stool, so Zhou Wu could only half-kneel on the ground and respectfully check Qi Bingzhi's wound.
"It shouldn't be a big deal. There's no damage to the bones or muscles. Just apply some ointment and it will heal."
Zhou Wu stood up and returned to Shen Shijiu.
Qi Bingzhi behind the curtain retracted his arm and sat up, "Thank you."
Then she waved her hand, and the maid beside her pulled up the curtain. Qi Bingzhi saw the two people standing outside the curtain and glanced at them unintentionally.
Eye.
Unexpectedly, this one glance made her whole body tremble, and the blood in her body began to flow backwards.
That slender figure in white clothes and with her head lowered feels so familiar.
A quick glance in the restaurant, the white corner of the clothes on the bed in the small building...
It turns out that the person Pei Zheng was hiding was him!
Qi Bingzhi confirmed this almost instantly, but she could only suppress her inner impulse and madness, with a smile on her face, facing Shen Shijiu's direction.
Whispering softly,
"Can you please lift your head so I can take a look?"
