After the king finished speaking, he looked at his wife beside him with a smile in his eyes, while the concubine did not show any displeasure and only smiled and nodded to show her approval.
The two people's eyes met, as if they were communicating silently, and only the two of them understood the deep meaning behind each other.
At this moment, looking at the monarch's smile, Ge Shu Wuluan always felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and then hurriedly stepped out of his seat and knelt down to His Highness, "I eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor. The humble minister only fulfills his responsibilities. If you dare to ask for a reward, please ask the monarch to take it back."
Pei Junxue, who was kneeling aside, had been in a dazed and stunned mood, as if she was shocked by the monarch's words, "She only lacks a loving mother..." After hearing her words, her face turned pale. It seemed that he was frightened and worried about the woman resisting the order in public.
Such a straightforward disobedience caused the monarch's expression to change instantly, and his voice was cold and cold, "Huh? Take it back? I am the king of a country, and what I say is gold and gold. You can't help but change it if you want. You Are you making fun of what I said?"
Brother Shu Wuluan's heart was slightly choked, and he hurriedly replied: "Wei Chen doesn't dare! It's just..."
Seeing the monarch's expression changing again and again, the concubine spoke up in time to smooth things over, "Luan'er, why don't you thank me quickly?"
After seeing the hint in his empress's eyes, Brother Shu Wuluan knew that if the entanglement continued, he might offend the monarch, so he bowed his head and lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I thank you, the monarch!"
The monarch's complexion improved in time, "Well. Don't patronize the widow Xie, let's help your adoptive mother back to her seat first. Choose an auspicious day another day and you can make up for the recognition ceremony. From now on, you will be a member of your mother's family. .”
Brother Shu Wuluan didn't hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and helped Pei Junxue up to his seat.
After only a few steps, she felt Pei Junxue holding her hand and sweating on her palm.
From this, Ge Shu Wuluan could feel how nervous she was at the moment. As kind as she was, maybe he was afraid of his behavior of refusing the order just now, right
However, the excitement in her eyes was really hard for Brother Shu Wuluan to understand.

The night was getting darker, and just after the second watch, the banquet broke up.
After bidding farewell to the monarch and the concubine, Pei Junxue followed Zhu Junhao and slowly walked out of the Lan Yue Palace. The eunuch Tang Xi accompanied him halfway, then turned back to wait on the monarch, and the two of them walked leisurely towards the palace gate. .
As they gradually arrived at the palace gate, they saw Chief Minister Kou Pei An standing under the moon with his hands folded, seemingly waiting for someone.
His back was cold and stiff, and it was easy to guess that he was suppressing a lot of anger at this moment.
Seeing this, Pei Junxue was busy whispering into the man's ear for a moment, then walked over, stopped behind Pei An, and called: "Brother..."
Pei An didn't even look back, only sneered, "I don't dare to compare favorably with your sister, who has just been promoted to the 'adopted mother' of Jin Yihou!"
I heard that he bit the word 'adopted mother' so hard that he almost gritted his teeth.
Looking at Pei An's back, Pei Junxue raised her eyebrows and sighed: "Brother, there is really no need to be angry about this. Junxue is not blessed. He does not have a son or a daughter by his side. How can he not even have the right to adopt an adopted daughter? What’s more, I’ve fallen in love with Luan’er since the first time I saw him, so I rashly asked for this favor.”
Hearing this, Pei An slowly looked back, and when he saw her gloomy expression, his tone softened a little, "You should know that this is not what you are angry about as a brother. I understand your feelings, but you can accept anyone as your child, except her. ! As for the situation in the court, I don’t need to explain it to you. You should also know that she has been a serious problem that I wanted to get rid of since the beginning. I don’t want to end up making you happy for nothing! "
Gradually, the tone turned sharp at the end of the words, and the murderous intention contained in it was self-evident.
Pei Junxue knew her brother's consistent style, but she was not shocked by his words at all. She just smiled and said, "Oh, my brother has never done less harm to Jun Xue."
Pei An's face changed slightly and his brows furrowed, "After all these years, you still hate your brother for that matter? You have to know that the only man who can give you happiness is Zhu Junhao!"
But he didn't want her to reveal his hidden thoughts with one word. A faint smile appeared on her lips, "I think she is also a strong supporter who can help my brother."
Back then, he forced her to get married for the sake of his official career, which really made her resentful. After all, she was the one he loved at that time.
However, she never expected that she would unknowingly fall in love with the man who regarded her as a treasure. What she never expected was that once she fell in love, the deeper the love, the more serious the injury...
Pei An, who was told the central issue, couldn't hide his face and said, "You..."
Pei Junxue didn't pay attention to her brother's mood swings. She just walked up to him and stood side by side. She raised her head and silently looked at the high night sky. She whispered in a soft voice, but her words were precise, "How is the situation in the court, Jun Xue?" As a woman, I can't control it, and I don't need to worry about it. Jun Xue only cares about one thing, and that is, from tonight, Luan'er is my daughter, no matter how much her brother loves her The prejudice should also be based on the sister's face. After all, the brother should still call her niece. If the brother is really incompatible, then he is having trouble with his sister, for the daughter he finally got. , my sister will definitely protect her to the end and risk her life!"
The words stopped, and Pei An's face had changed drastically, turning livid and gloomy, and the cold light in the tiger's eyes was breathtaking.
He stared at her with a dark expression for a moment, then suddenly flicked his sleeves fiercely and left the place quickly.
As soon as Pei An walked away, Pei Junxue felt as if her bones were falling off her body, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, a big hand caught her waist in time.
Then, a man's extremely nervous voice came from above, "Xue, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Junxue grabbed the man's sleeve, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and held it tightly, even her emotions suddenly became inexplicably aroused, "Tell me, did I harm Luan'er by doing this?"
Her words were so incomprehensible that Zhu Junhao was slightly startled. However, in just a moment, he understood the meaning of her words.
Although he is not in the officialdom, how can he not know what his brother-in-law Pei An is thinking
It is almost universally known that this female officer and Pei An do not deal with each other, but now that the relationship has suddenly evolved into this, I am afraid that it will make Pei An even more angry, and then increase the desire to get rid of it quickly.
But now, what he couldn't understand was her overly nervous mood. Why did she show so much concern for this female official whom she had only met twice? Is it simply because of the eagerness of the 'guardian'
At the moment, he had no intention of continuing to speculate. He only gently held her trembling body and comforted her softly: "No, how could it be!"
At this time, Pei Junxue's face was extremely pale due to blood loss, and it was very worrying to look at her, "But I am so scared, afraid that she will disappear like Xiao Yu... Junhao, my head hurts..."
As she spoke, she hugged her head in pain. The fear and pain in her watery eyes instantly stung Zhu Junhao's heart, causing bursts of pain that were unbearable. "Good boy, don't think about it anymore, okay? You let me do this." So heartbroken!”
He wrapped her petite body tightly in his arms, carefully comforting her, and his love for her was clearly revealed.
However, at this time, Pei Junxue could no longer listen to any of his words. She just lay in his arms and murmured to herself, with a deep resentment in her tone, "Why, why did you send Xiaoyu away? Why are you so intolerable?" Her? Why..."
When these old things were mentioned, the man's body stiffened suddenly, his eyes filled with fear.
Holding up her tear-stained jade face and looking into her mist-like eyes, Junyan Ran was shocked and hurriedly explained: "Believe me, I didn't send Xiaoyu away..."
Suddenly, Pei Junxue's mood suddenly changed and became more excited, with hatred burning in her eyes. She broke away from his arms, raised her fists and punched him in the heart, "It's you, It must be you! You hate her so much and hate that she came into this world!"
Zhu Junhao hurriedly held the fist she was constantly waving in distress, fearing that if she punched her down, she would be pained by his hard mouth, "How do you want me to prove it before you believe me?"
Pei Junxue gradually calmed down, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, mixed with deep sorrow, "You are so selfish and hypocritical! When you asked me to believe in you, did you ask yourself if you believed in me at all? Why don’t you believe that Xiao Yu is your and me’s biological flesh and blood!”
"You clearly know that we were never together before you got pregnant with her, not to mention that bloodshed..."
The man's answer caused years of resentment to hit Pei Junxue's heart again. She angrily broke away from his hands and shouted heartbreakingly: "Don't touch me!"
He still says this now? ! Why was it that he, obviously drunk, captured her heart together with her for the first time, but he refused to admit it afterward? Could it be that he couldn't recall it at all
Recalling that time when she shed blood to identify her relatives, her drizzle was still so small and soft... How could he be so cruel and take blood to identify his relatives? He was so cruel!
They were obviously his own flesh and blood, but in the end... what went wrong
Looking at her alienated and indifferent expression, the fear of more than ten years quietly struck again, and Zhu Junhao's heart panicked in vain.
He could no longer bear the longing and separation for so many years, and could no longer bear the pain and torture that cut his heart and lungs. He could only whisper in a frightened voice: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, as long as you Don’t be angry, as long as you stay with me well, I can do whatever you want! I swear, I will pay a lot of money to hire a famous arrester to continue to search for Xiao Yu’s whereabouts until she is returned to you intact, okay? You are not well Okay, don't think about it anymore, it will make me worry all day long. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body and find our daughter in the future so that we can reunite as a family."
While comforting her softly, he slowly approached her far away body, and carefully took her back into his arms again with a feeling of regaining something lost, like walking on thin ice.
Pei Junxue, who was in a daze, seemed to sense his nervousness and finally calmed down completely. She leaned An Ran in his arms and let him hold her.
It seemed like a long time passed before she murmured, "Let's... go home."
