A room full of light and warmth, instead of the desperate darkness and coldness in the dream.
His handsome eyes opened in horror because of her, and there was a hint of surprise, but only for a moment. Then he sat down on the bed very naturally, reached out and touched her forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Pei Yuanjun asked.
"Your Majesty?" Qu Moying finally woke up from the nightmare, stretched out her hand to prop up her arm, looked around, this was still her house, this was her boudoir, "Why... are you here?"
"I just happened to be passing by, so I came in to take a look." Pei Yuanjun said nonchalantly, casually took the handkerchief she had placed on the table and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Why are you passing by your house in the middle of the night and coming in to take a look
This answer left Qu Moying speechless. At this time, in this place, was it possible to just pass by
He took the handkerchief, wiped his forehead a few times, then raised his body, took a pillow and placed it behind him, leaning back a little.
"Your Highness, is this because of the fraud case?" The most likely possibility now is this fraud case.
"That's partly the reason." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, took her handkerchief and threw it on the table.
Qu Moying noticed that the clothes he was wearing were no longer the complicated royal robes of the past, but just a simple black robe. His black hair was just casually tied up, looking very ordinary. There was also a black cloth around his neck, which seemed to have been used to cover his face before.
Going out in the middle of the night like this doesn't look like a good idea...
"Aren't the affairs of the Western Prison under the jurisdiction of the prince now?" After Qu Moying looked him up and down, he slowly regained his senses and asked with a slightly frown.
Although he guessed that this matter was related to a fraud case, there was no need for him to personally take part, right
"The affairs of the Western Prison are indeed not under my jurisdiction now, but this matter is also related to me. I have to investigate it. I can't be ignorant of everything and then be led by the nose. I won't stay in the capital for long." Pei Yuanjun smiled and flicked his fingers lightly.
"Aren't the Crown Prince and King Jing the ones who should contribute most to this matter?" Qu Moying asked again.
The one who was suspected was Chen Peiluoan, and the one who was replaced was Pei Yusheng. Pei Yusheng was the main invigilator this time, and Pei Yuanjun was just a figurehead.
"They are them, and I am I. From now on, I will stay in the capital. I can't be ignorant of everything!" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Qu Moying felt helpless after hearing this. Pei Yuanjun's previous home base was indeed not in the capital, and he was just a legend in the capital. But even so, Qu Moying didn't believe that he really knew nothing about the capital's affairs and would really let Pei Luoan and Pei Yusheng lead him by the nose.
"Going out so late... isn't it dangerous?" Qu Moying asked, biting her lip.
"What kind of danger could there be?" Pei Yuanjun asked with a smile. Following Qu Moying's gaze, he pulled the black cloth under his chin and suddenly laughed, "You don't think that I'm going to do something shameful or dangerous, do you?"
Qu Moying looked at his black clothes, then at the black cloth he used to cover himself, and nodded silently in his heart, isn't this it
Pei Yuanjun is such a high-profile person. In the past, he was not afraid of being discovered even at night. Now he travels so low-key. It shows how shameful and dangerous it is.
Seeing her frowning eyebrows,
Her eyes were clear and flowing under her slender eyebrows, revealing some disapproval. Pei Yuanjun suddenly burst into laughter.
The sound was actually not loud, but it was very clear in the night.
Qu Moying almost subconsciously rushed over, covered his mouth, and whispered, "Be gentle!"
The way he's dressed and looks like a criminal, he actually dares to make such a big noise. Aren't you afraid that others will find out
Pei Yuanjun's sleepy eyes were raised high, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. Even when Qu Moying covered his mouth, he did not struggle, but just patted her hand that was covering his mouth tightly.
Qu Moying let go.
"Don't worry, I came out today just to watch the fun. It looked quite interesting. I was afraid of being discovered and there would be no fun, so I changed my clothes and went there." Pei Yuanjun smiled in a very good mood.
"Are you here to watch the fun?" Qu Moying's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes looked even more curled and misty under the light.
"Of course, why would I do anything dangerous? I'm getting married soon, is this the right time to do anything dangerous?" Pei Yuanjun said with a half-smile, lowering his eyes slightly and glancing at Qu Moying, "Do you want to go out with me to see the excitement?"
Qu Moying looked at the sky outside and shook his head: "Let's not do it. It's so late!"
It was already completely dark outside, it should be almost midnight. Anything happening at this time would definitely not be a good thing, especially at this critical moment, so one must not cause any unnecessary trouble.
"Really not going to watch it? It might be very good!" Pei Yuanjun asked temptingly.
"Even if it's right, I won't go. I want to sleep." Qu Moying said firmly.
"That's a shame." Pei Yuanjun chuckled. His voice was as pleasant as the sound of a musical instrument, but it also carried a hint of mockery that Qu Moying could understand. "What a big show!"
"Is it about the fraud case?" Qu Moying thought for a moment and asked cautiously.
"It may or may not be related, but it doesn't matter. It's enough to see it." Pei Yuanjun said with a smile, with a hint of lightness in his tone, "Some people always think they are very smart and can control everything. I actually like this kind of people."
Qu Moying looked at him speechlessly. She said she liked him, but from the sinister tone, she couldn't hear any sign of liking him.
"You can watch it, but be careful." Qu Moying thought for a moment and warned. She knew that Pei Yuanjun was a man with his own ideas and he always kept his word. Since he came out like this, this so-called "excitement" must have a deep meaning.
But royal affairs are the most difficult to interfere with. No matter how vicious they are, one plots against another, and it's either you or I. Even if Pei Yuanjun has the upper hand, knows something, or has mastered something, it cannot be said that there is no danger at all.
This statement was not clear, but both of them understood it.
Pei Yuanjun smiled, reached out and held her hand that was half exposed outside the quilt, and gently squeezed it, "Don't worry, I'm just here to watch the fun, there will be people who want to get involved."
Does this mean there will be a big show tonight
Qu Moying was even more certain that he should not get involved. At a time like this, it was right to be cautious.
"Then, Your Majesty, please go early and come back early!" Qu Moying looked out the window again, "It's getting late now. If you go late, you will be easily discovered."
Since we are just watching a show, the sooner we wait the better, so as to avoid anyone discovering anything.
"It's still early." Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
"It's a little early now, but it's always better to go there early!" Qu Moying pushed his hand, "If someone comes, it won't be easy for them to notice if you go early."
"It's better to leave at the right time than to leave early." Pei Yuanjun looked at her without letting go of her hand. He snorted softly, showing no concern.
His eyes narrowed slightly, "What nightmare were you having when I came here just now? Tell me about it and I can interpret your dream for you."
Speaking of dreams, Qu Moying had actually almost forgotten them a long time ago. Only the last scene remained shockingly in his heart. The moment he opened his eyes just now was a freeze frame, frozen in his heart, leaving a deep imprint.
He lowered his head, bit his lip, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face, "I dreamed about my cousin!"
"Crown Princess?" Pei Yuanjun looked at her with a half-smile and snorted.
"Yes, cousin, and cousin... and uncle and the others." Qu Moying smiled bitterly, and slowly raised his eyes again, with a deep darkness in his eyes, "Look at them all dead, a lot of blood has been shed, covering... the steps... the high steps..."
She didn't describe it in detail, but just cut out some of the last scene and told it.
Pei Yuanjun didn't say anything, but increased the strength in his hands. A sharp pain instantly woke Qu Moying up from her dazed state. Her eyebrows were twisted in pain, and she looked up at Pei Yuanjun's handsome face.
"This kind of thing is over and done with. If you feel aggrieved, one day he will make you happy!" Pei Yuanjun's cold voice was not loud in the night, but it struck Qu Moying's heart like a heavy blow.
"Your Majesty..."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Just prepare your dowry and marry me. As for these trivial things, you don't have to think too much. If you can't sleep at night, you can think more about what you will do after marrying me." Pei Yuanjun stood up and relaxed his hands.
Qu Moying's hand loosened, and he subconsciously raised his head and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Marrying into the British royal family, is there anything important that I cannot accomplish
Her watery eyes were wide open with a hint of confusion, and her gentle little face had a hazy purity under the light, like a deer that had lost its way. Originally thought to be smart, but now she looked very cute and silly.
Pei Yuanjun laughed and slid his hand over her eyes. He could feel her curled eyelashes sliding across his palm. The feeling of her eyelashes sliding across his palm was as soft as a brush, as if something was sliding across his heart. He felt indescribably cozy and comfortable.
"Think carefully about how to be a qualified princess of England!" Pei Yuanjun said with a good smile, reaching out to touch her head with loose hair, and pressed her down hard, "It's cold, go to bed early, don't have any nightmares, think about me, and any nightmares will disturb you."
So, even nightmares are afraid of being haunted by bad people
Qu Moying was pressed down and lay down in the quilt. She felt warm all over and didn't know what to say for a moment. The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously. She watched Pei Yuanjun push open the window, stretched out his hand, and opened it casually. Then the window was closed from the outside. Everything returned to tranquility...
The tranquility this time was different from the previous one. It was no longer dark and cold without a trace of light.
The quilt is very warm, and the whole person is warm, from the heart to the body...
