Pei Yuanjun lazily leaned on the couch, wearing a plain dark purple robe that gave him an air of nobility, highlighting his slender figure and jade-like complexion. His handsome eyes were delicate and rosy, while the corners of his eyes and eyebrows had a hint of nobleness and laziness.
Qu Moying was squeezed inward, leaving only a small space beside him.
"Is Prince Jing's Mansion bothering you again?" Pei Yuanjun asked lazily, stretching out his hand and placing it behind Qu Moying's head.
The other servants in the room retreated prudently, knowing that their prince liked to stay alone with the princess quietly and did not need anyone to serve him.
"I heard that when the King of England saw the beauty, although he beat her up, he was still heartbroken and kidnapped her. Now she is hidden in a golden house. I don't know if she is hidden in the mansion. Let me pay more attention to it, lest the position of the princess be stolen away at any time."
The corners of Qu Moying's lips curled up, thinking of what Yuxiu had just described to her.
"There is no golden house, but there is a black house." Pei Yuanjun smiled, glanced at Qu Moying with a bit of ridicule, and pulled out a hairpin from Qu Moying's bun. Suddenly, her beautiful hair fell down, and her face became more gentle and charming, a beauty in the world.
"Your complexion is still not very good. Is it because the medicine you used is not good, or is it because the hot spring has no effect?" Pei Yuanjun looked at her sideways, not satisfied with the fact that she had been taking care of herself like this for a long time but there seemed to be no effect.
Qu Moying's physical condition was indeed not very good, and it was Pei Yuanjun's original intention that he should take advantage of this period of time to recuperate.
"It's already very good. Your complexion is actually not bad. It's much better than before. The medicinal food and hot springs are still effective." Qu Moying glared at him and said.
"I really can't tell." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, closing his narrow eyes and pretending to doze off.
Qu Moying pulled his wide sleeves, but he hooked her hand and held her soft flesh in his palm, and then he played with her white and tender fingers.
"Miss Tong has been imprisoned in the West Prison?" Qu Moying pulled his hand but couldn't pull it out. He had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
"Being locked up together with the former concubine in the Prince's Mansion, the two of them can have some companionship." Pei Yuanjun said with his eyes closed.
"Do these two... know each other?"
"I should have seen you a long time ago, but I'm afraid I don't recognize you now." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
"Those letters...are those letters really from the Second Prince of Northern Frontier and Miss Tong?" Qu Moying still asked this question.
"It's theirs... The Second Prince of Northern Frontier is extremely ambitious and has long set his sights on the throne of Northern Frontier. But even if he is the heir to the throne, there is still a crown prince in front of him, the legitimate crown prince of Northern Frontier. If he wants to inherit the throne, there is no other way except for the death of this crown prince."
Pei Yuanjun knew what Qu Moying was concerned about and spoke slowly.
"He must have been to the capital and colluded with the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion. At that time, he might have known the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion. Later, the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion was exposed, and Tong Yuzhen fled to the border. The second prince of the northern border secretly protected her, and Tong Yuzhen became his person."
Pei Yuanjun continued, "We let her go in order to find out who was colluding with the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion. We thought it was the crown prince of Northern Frontier, but it turned out to be the second prince."
"Then...what about the General Fuguo? What's going on with him?" Qu Moying's voice trembled and his hands clenched unconsciously.
The fingers were pulled apart one by one and fell into Pei Yuanjun's big palm and were rubbed gently.
"Tong Yuzhen's affairs in the General's Mansion cannot be used to convict Liu Xiangshan."
"Why?"
"When Tong Yuzhen fled to the border, she arrived at Liu Xiangshan's residence. She said she was an orphan who had been looking for her relatives but couldn't find them. Her family was originally wealthy, but because of the death of her father and brother, her relatives took over. She had no choice but to go to the border to seek refuge with her relatives. She met people from the northern border and was almost kidnapped. Fortunately, she met Liu Xiangshan, who rescued her and took pity on her, so he brought her back to the residence."
Pei Yuanjun said.
This did not sound bad, as if it was really just an accident. Even if there was anything wrong, it was because Tong Yuzhen concealed her identity that she was able to hide in the General's Mansion.
If the case is really investigated, Liu Xiangshan will not be held responsible.
Qu Moying was silent and bit her lip. She didn't think this was surprising.
The description of being unable to find relatives and being an orphan actually sounds somewhat familiar. It seems that people with bad intentions would use this excuse.
"Those letters were written by the Second Prince Qi Lie and Tong Yuzhen. After all, Qi Lie was busy with affairs in the Northern Frontier and it was impossible for him to come and accompany Tong Yuzhen all the time, so these letters were written. I don't know how they ended up in the hands of Earl Ling An." Pei Yuanjun said.
Qu Moying suddenly turned his body to the side: "They were communicating at the border, so how could my uncle in the capital get the news? With such a long distance, it seems that the letter will not reach my uncle's hands."
If it weren't for these letters, Daddy might not have died. There was hatred in his eyes. Based on just a few private letters between Tong Yuzhen and the Second Prince, Pei Luoan was going to kill Daddy.
"If the letter was not found by Ling Anbo's men, then someone deliberately sent it to him. The letter seems to indicate that the man from Northern Frontier has a relationship with the woman from Central Plains. With Ling Anbo's ability, he also knows the name Qi Lie. These letters would make him think that Qi Lie is communicating with a woman from Central Plains."
"If my uncle gets these letters, he will definitely investigate and find out who this woman is?" Qu Moying understood, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Daddy devoted himself to the country, but ended up like that. Thinking about it now, he still feels sad and angry, and gritted his teeth...
"So, when Ling Anbo gets a letter like this, he will definitely keep it well. As a general, he will definitely check it out when he encounters such things in the past, and will never miss it. This letter looks like a communication between a man and a woman, but it may also be confusing. There may be a big problem in it."
Pei Yuanjun rubbed her hands gently, and the intimate feeling made Qu Moying's cold and tense body relax.
He reacted very quickly and said, "The more my uncle asked people to investigate, the more the prince felt that there was something wrong. It's even possible that my uncle found out about his people, making him think that my uncle had discovered what he did, and that he... had done something wrong... something shameful."
"That's possible!" Pei Yuanjun felt Qu Moying's sudden anger and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll pay you back eventually. If I don't pay you back now, it's just that the time has not come yet."
His voice was filled with a hint of doting, blending into the quiet night like a lover's whisper, sliding through Qu Moying's heart, as natural as if it had always been like this: "Since you want to investigate this matter, I will naturally help you."
"In the end... this matter may be related to the crown prince." Qu Moying said with difficulty. In the end, he would have to face Pei Luoan head-on.
My eyes unconsciously raised and met a pair of bright and handsome eyes.
His eyes were as bright as water, his smile was elegant, and he looked a little lazy, yet inexplicably harmonious, as if he was supposed to be like this.
"So what if it's related to the Crown Prince? Which of my affairs is not related to the Crown Prince?"
“But…” Qu Moying was still hesitating, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, her skin was as white as snow, and there was a faint red in the corners of her eyes, as if her eyes were tinged with a hint of charm, soft and natural, yet blended with beauty.
Pei Yuanjun smiled: "There are not so many buts. What I did... is not smaller than yours? Why should I care too much about it?"
This sentence strangely comforted Qu Moying, and she actually felt that it was indeed just like this...
The prince of a country, the one she wanted to deal with was Pei Luoan. Even if she didn't say it directly, her words and actions had made it very clear that dealing with the prince of a country could almost be considered treason. Now he just said it lightly.
There was an inexplicable sourness between the wings of his nose. They were talking about a crime punishable by death and the extermination of an entire family, yet the two of them could be so calm, as if they were just talking about an ordinary person.
Her eyelashes drooped, with traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. She leaned her head over and rested on Pei Yuanjun's shoulder, feeling inexplicably at peace.
Just based on her feelings, she didn't want to embarrass herself, nor did she want Pei Yuanjun to make all the sacrifices, but she could accept it calmly without feeling anything.
Pei Luoan's figure has disappeared from his mind. When he thinks about it again, there is nothing but his father's hatred. Even his betrayal of Ji Hanyue has become nothing more than that.
I no longer care about this person, so he is nothing.
The reason why he could hurt himself was because he cared about him. But now Pei Luoan was just his enemy, the murderer of his father.
Others, he doesn't deserve it!
After experiencing two lives, Qu Moying now already understands her feelings for Pei Yuanjun. This man is the one she loves. Even though in the eyes of outsiders, he is cold-hearted, cruel and ruthless, and may even end up in an irreparable situation, so what
She was willing to accompany him even if there was an abyss ahead.
When she was reborn, she cherished her life. She was unwilling to waste the opportunity given to her by God to be reborn. She could walk on the edge of a knife, but she had to keep her life.
But now I feel that it’s nothing special. If I have him by my side, actually… none of this matters.
She unconsciously leaned into Pei Yuanjun's arms, holding his big hand without any hesitation...
Sensing Qu Moying's reaction, Pei Yuanjun turned his head to look at the woman in his arms. Her pink face was as smooth as jade, or even more vivid and white than jade. The bright color in the corner of her eyes seemed like a silent invitation. It was as if something slipped through his heart, and his self-control, which he had always been proud of, turned into ashes in an instant. He followed his heart and turned his body, pressing Qu Moying under him, and his thin lips fell...
The surging emotions turned into gentle whispers between the lips and teeth, with both overbearing and extreme excitement...
Joyfully expressing the feelings that have yet to be expressed, but cannot wait: If I can find a person who loves me, we will be together till old age...
