"Let me hold you for a while, it will be fine in a while."
This coaxing words made Tao Ti startled.
She thought of the tired look in Pei Yanqingjuan's eyes that couldn't be concealed, and the bloodshot eyes in his eyes when he looked at her just now, and her heart ached so much that she remained motionless, letting him hug her.
Pei Yan's tall nose was deeply buried in her soft neck, and the elegant fragrance lingering from the tip of his nose made him feel at ease.
After an unknown amount of time, he let her go a little, leaned over and kissed her forehead.
Tao Ti raised her small face, her clear black eyes were full of concern, and said softly, "Your Highness, you go to rest on the bed first, and I'll go to the kitchen... eh!"
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were blocked.
Pei Yan held the back of her head and kissed her hard.
Tao Ti, "...?"
It was agreed that it was just a hug, why did he move his hands and mouth.
Soon, her surprise and doubts were all suppressed by his unusual emotions today. He teased her so dizzy that he walked towards the table with her waist in his arms.
Realizing his thoughts, Tao Ti's heart was beating like a drum, and she wanted to struggle but had no strength.
Her skin was suddenly exposed to the cold night air, and her body trembled a little. She didn't know whether it was the shivering from the cold, or the nervousness about unlocking the new scene.
She was a little shy, and folded her arms in front of her, asking him to turn off the light.
Pei Yan rolled his Adam's apple up and down, but didn't agree.
But he was not willing to embarrass her too much, his wide and slender palm covered her eyes, only a little light leaked through the fingers.
The candlelight flickered, and the temperature in the room gradually rose.
He pinched her waist, his deep eyes were bright and passionate.
Tao Ti didn't feel cold at all right now, but felt that she was about to heat up.
After the storm.
Pei Yan carried her to the bed, and the two cuddled intimately.
Tao Ti's slender eyelashes were wet, and she rested in his arms for a long while, then turned around, looking at him with doubts in her eyes.
What happened to him today
Although the two of them have always been harmonious and frequent, but today they just walked in like this... quite suddenly.
Meeting her eyes, Pei Yan gently pushed back the wet hair on her forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "I haven't seen you all day and night, I miss you."
The words were straightforward, and Tao Ti's white and tender cheeks were slightly hot, but he was thinking of herself, and she was also sweet in her heart, and whispered, "I miss you too."
Pei Yan hugged her even tighter.
After being gentle for a long while, Tao Ti asked, "Your Highness, are you not tired after working outside all day?"
"tired."
"You're still tossing me when you're tired!" She propped herself up, staring at him with rounded eyes, fortunately she started to see him so tired, so she obediently let him hug her. If you are really tired, how can you still have the mind to do that!
I'm afraid this man is pretending again.
Seeing her angry denunciation, Pei Yan smiled and pulled her back into his arms, bit her earlobe lightly, and said honestly, "Doing what you like will not be tiring."
The corner of Tao Ti's mouth twitched, I believe you.
The slander is all slander, she was still thinking about the kitchen, "Chicken soup is still simmering on the stove, Your Highness, get up and drink."
Pei Yan played with her white and delicate hands, "I'm not very hungry now, you can lie down with me again."
He had a restless sleep yesterday.
I don't know when it started, but he has been used to sharing the bed with her, and he has to hug her soft body to sleep peacefully.
Soup can be had anytime, and now he just wants to hug her more.
Tao Ti didn't know what Pei Yan was thinking, and the experience of "being fooled" on the bed many times told her that if she was hugged so sticky again, she would definitely not be able to get out of bed today.
She has stewed that pot of chicken soup for more than an hour, it is delicious! It's a shame to waste food!
"You're not hungry, I'm hungry." Tao Ti struggled lightly in his arms.
"You didn't have dinner?" Pei Yan asked warmly.
"Use it. But didn't you use up a lot of energy just now, and you have to eat some supper to fill your stomach."
Hearing her words, Pei Yan snorted, turned over and pushed her back.
With a playful smile in his black eyes, he tapped the tip of her nose, "What energy did you use up? I was the one working hard the whole time."
What's going on with this guy, aren't you ashamed!
Tao Ti's ears were red, and she shyly turned her face away to avoid his gaze, but she was a little unconvinced, and retorted, "You don't need strength?"
Pei Yan was startled for a moment, and then burst out laughing, his firm chest trembling with laughter.
Seeing him laughing so loudly, Tao Ti hastily stretched out her hand to cover his mouth.
Pei Yan took her hand away, suppressed her smile, and pretended to be serious, "Well, you're right, it takes a lot of voice."
"You are not allowed to say that!!!" Tao Ti glared at him fiercely.
Qiongqi is right, no matter how glamorous, gentle and humble a man is under the bed, he will be vicious on the bed!
Seeing that the little girl was about to explode, Pei Yan hurriedly smoothed her hair, rubbed her hair, pulled her up, and coaxed, "Hey, let's go have chicken soup and rest when we're full, huh?"
Tao Ti has always been easy to coax, especially when Pei Yanwen smiled at her softly, just looking at this face, she couldn't get angry.
The two dressed briefly, and went outside to drink chicken soup hand in hand.
The black-bone chicken soup with astragalus and wolfberry was served in a ceramic cup, and it was simmering slowly on a low heat. When the lid was opened, a rich and delicious aroma rushed to the face. The black-bone chicken is stewed rottenly, the chicken fat is boiled out, and the medicinal effects of astragalus and wolfberry are melted into the clear and light yellow chicken soup. Just smelling the taste makes people's index fingers move.
The two shared half of each, and Pei Yan sandwiched the chicken legs into Tao Ti's bowl, "Ah Ti, thank you for your hard work, you should eat more."
Tao Ti paused her hand holding the bowl, narrowing her eyes and staring at him: she always felt that he was still laughing at her.
Pei Yan's eyes were calm and innocent.
Tao Ti pursed her lips, and she was not polite, she picked up the chicken leg and ate it.
The stewed black-bone chicken melted in the mouth, without any firewood, and the chicken skin was tender and delicious. When eaten with the sweet chicken soup, the stomach was warm.
"Your Highness, please tell me about yesterday's wedding banquet. Why did the assassins break in? And I heard that many people died, are they all guests at the wedding banquet?" Tao Ti asked.
Yesterday, Linglong only gave a general idea, which made her unable to bear to make up the scene, and even dreamed of those scenes at night.
Seeing that she was curious, Pei Yan didn't hide it. He briefly skipped the horrific scenes of blood and flesh flying everywhere, and only described the process from the assassin's appearance to the discovery of the secret room in detail.
Tao Ti was stunned for a while when she heard this, her two big watery eyes stared round.
In the end, Pei Yan said, "Father has already ordered the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to investigate this matter together. I believe it will not take long before there will be a result."
Tao Ti frowned and said, "Is Pei Lingbi still in the Zhou Mansion? I heard that she seems to be out of her mind. The Empress will plead for her, right?"
Pei Yan's brows were indifferent, and he said in a deep voice, "All the men of the Zhou family have been imprisoned, and Pei Lingbi and the women of the Zhou family are still staying in the Zhou mansion, guarded by heavy soldiers. As for the queen... oh, she's afraid to be I can't care about Pei Lingbi anymore."
Tao Ti thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, the Queen and Pei Changzhou must be bothered now."
After pondering for a moment, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at Pei Yan fixedly, "Your Highness, is this matter of the Zhou family... related to you?"
The eyes of the two met, Pei Yan narrowed his eyes, serious and serious, "Yes."
Tao Ti remained silent, with no surprise on her face.
From the moment she knew that Pei Yan was a white man, she knew that he would definitely participate in the court's intrigue and dispute.
Taking a deep breath, she blinked and asked tentatively, "The Zhou mansion has collapsed, so is it Pei Changzhou's turn next?"
Pei Yan's slender fingers tapped the table twice casually, and her thin lips parted slightly, "It's coming soon."
After a pause, he said softly, "But the next one should be Houfu of Yongwei."
Tao Ti took a breath.
The spoon in her hand slipped into the bowl, and she frowned, "Is there any relationship between Yongweihoufu and the Zhou family?"
Pei Yan hummed in a low voice, "Your mother decided to reconcile with your father because of the friendship between the Yongweihou Mansion and the Zhou family and secretly supporting Pei Changzhou."
Tao Ti frowned even tighter. It turned out that Zhang's sudden reconciliation was for this reason
She thought it was because Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand Yongweihou, a scumbag, and finally made up her mind to seek relief, but she didn't expect that the root cause was to prevent her daughter from being embarrassed.
Tao Ti felt a little sad: Actually, Mrs. Zhang still loves her daughter. It's just that in the past, she has been committing the usual mistakes of the parents, always trying to control the life of the child in the name of love.
Seeing that Tao Ti didn't speak for a long time, Pei Yan suddenly remembered Zhou Pinglin's malicious smile in the prison, his heart sank, and he couldn't help calling "Ah Ti" softly.
Tao Ti came back to her senses and looked at him, "Then what does His Highness plan to do with the Yongwei Hou Mansion? Have you killed them all?"
Pei Yan met her eyes, and there was an imperceptible tension in his calm tone, "I must get rid of the Yongweihou mansion, but I can save Yongweihou's life."
Tao Ti understood what he meant, he was planning to completely destroy the Yongwei Hou Mansion.
She has no feelings for the Yongweihou Mansion, and the Zhang family has already reconciled, so if Pei Yan wants to deal with it, Zhang's family cannot be involved.
As for Yong Weihou's biological father, he knew that the Zhou family and Pei Changzhou had been coveting the crown prince, but he chose to help Pei Changzhou? It shows that he has no mercy for the daughter who married into the East Palace.
Perhaps the prince was in decline before, and as the prince's father-in-law, it's fine if he doesn't help, but it's human nature to be wise and protect himself. But instead of kissing his son-in-law, he helped his son-in-law's opponent, which is really chilling.
Mrs. Zhang still has the gift of procreation to the original owner. Apart from donating a sperm, Yongweihou has not loved the original owner much these years. Naturally, Tao Ti would not intercede for such a scumbag father.
She said to Pei Yan, "Your Highness, it's the utmost kindness for you to save his life. As for the rest, you can do as you wish, and don't care about me. He didn't have much affection for my mother and me. Now that my mother has reconciled, he And treat Dong Gong so heartlessly, why should I care about him?"
Hearing her words, Pei Yan shook her hand.
Tao Ti held his hand instead, smiled lightly, and said as if remembering something, "I want to see my mother tomorrow."
Mrs. Zhang is currently in Chang'an City. She just came back from Luoyang a few days ago and planned to inspect the fried chicken restaurant and plan to open a branch in Luoyang.
After all, Yongweihou Mansion is also the place where Mrs. Zhang has stayed for nearly twenty years, so Tao Ti wants to give her a vaccination so that she can be mentally prepared.
Pei Yan thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I'll make arrangements tomorrow."
