Pei Zhan said: "This is my friend."
Being able to sit with him, Zhang knew of course that this was either his relative or his friend. What she wanted to know was the origin of this little girl!
She smiled: "General, won't you introduce me?"
Pei Zhan said: "My friend is shy and doesn't like to meet strangers, so I won't delay the imperial concubine's meal." After that, he said to the little novice who had been waiting beside him: "Look at the imperial concubine and the princess. What to eat? Just the same as before. Add a walnut cake, a barley cake, and a vegetarian soup."
Zhang was rejected and felt angry, but Pei Zhan was a popular figure among the emperor and the empress, and a mainstay in the court. The key was that he was an important minister with real power, but she could not do anything about it. Then he looked for the steps and said with a smile: "I really can't tell that General Pei is such a careful person. This girl is really good-looking and deserves to be treated like this by the general."
Cutting off the beginning and the end, she actually meant the sentence in the middle.
Although the little girl looks young and thin, so she lacks some plump and graceful beauty, the openness and calmness between her eyebrows gives her a transcendent spirit, which makes her like a plant. The orchid grass that has drunk the fairy dew is as smart and eye-catching.
Aunt Hu was asked to check out the young female pilgrim who stayed overnight on the mountain last night. If she was not with Pei Zhan, she would immediately think of Xu Yin's behavior last night. After all, such an appearance and temperament are worth it anyway. The minister, who was born as Tanhualang, made an exception for this.
Thinking of this, she still glanced at Xu Yin.
However, Xu Yin was serving porridge to Yong Ping and didn't seem to care at all about the scene just now.
Zhang was furious. This couple is really good at putting on a show. It's common for them to be angry behind their backs, but they can act so sweetly in front of others.
Fu Zhen was actually very grateful to Pei Zhan for blocking Zhang for her.
Now she wanted to eat to become fat in one go, and quickly strengthen her body. She would not be able to live without a single bite, so she didn't refuse when Pei Zhan asked her back.
As long as she wasn't allowed to kneel down and salute the doggy couple, why wouldn't she seize the opportunity to eat well?
But she wasn't very happy to hear what Zhang said.
Pei Zhan obviously just wanted to fulfill his promise and not let her salute, so he deliberately praised her a little bit. Why did she make it sound like the two of them had something to do with each other?
But eating was such a big deal, she said nothing and turned a deaf ear.
Pei Zhan saw her in a hurry and said, "Eat slowly."
After saying that, he pushed the cold soup to her.
When he came like this, even Xu Yin couldn't help but look over.
Fu Zhen suddenly turned into Zhang Shicheng behind the curtain last night, and this is not over yet. But there were more urgent things to deal with at that time, so even if Xu Yin was suspicious, he didn't bother with it.
At this time, the two of them appeared so loudly, and Pei Zhan was so attentive and thoughtful, that he unconsciously picked up the things he had put aside last night.
Judging from the current situation, it is 90% likely that Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan are accomplices. Suppose that when Pei Zhan grabbed the knife, Fuzhen, who was an accomplice, had no way to escape and therefore entered his room by mistake. impossible.
If this is true, then the "assassin" who took away the dagger must be Pei Zhan. It is not impossible for Prince Rong to take the initiative to invite him. It was also not a problem that he showed up to "find the murderer" and at the same time arranged for Zhang Shicheng to be moved to block Zhang's mouth.
Later, Zhang Shicheng's "ghost encounter" was naturally the dominant factor behind Pei Zhan.
But in this case, there are more unexplainable things.
First of all, if the assassin is Pei Zhan, why does he need Fu Zhen as an accomplice? Not to mention that it was not difficult for him to accomplish this task. Even if it were, wouldn't Liang Chen, who went up the mountain with him, be ten thousand times stronger than Fu Zhen?
To put it bluntly, even if he really needed Fu Zhen as an accomplice, with his many years of experience in command, it would be impossible not to arrange the exit of his companions in advance. So why was Fuzhen left out again? Instead, we need to use that method to make amends afterwards and rescue her?
And the most important point is, if Zhang Shicheng's "ghost encounter" was man-made, then who is this "ghost"?
Why does she know so many things that are impossible for outsiders to know?
And if everything was led by Pei Zhan, how did Pei Zhan get the dagger? How did he know about the alley murder case?
Xu Yin was thinking a lot. Then he looked at Pei Zhan, who was slowly adding soup to Fu Zhen, and put down the bowl.
Does Pei Zhan act so openly, because he thinks that these methods will not be exposed, or is he confident because he is not the one who did it?
"Why don't you eat?"
Yongping looked at him. Then he followed his gaze to the little girl sitting opposite Pei Zhan.
I came to the Zhaitang for dinner today because I heard that Mr. Zhang was here.
Yesterday, she was ridiculed several times by Mrs. Zhang that she was not favored by Xu Yin. She was depressed, thinking that Xu Yin would really become friends with her after saying those harsh words in the house, but she didn't expect that he would come back again! And he even coaxed her with soft words!
After quarreling with Mrs. Zhang at night, Xu Yin came to her room and stayed with her for a while. Because he was a Buddhist, he slept in a separate room.
This made Yongping feel that the relationship between her and Xu Yin was still strong. Even if there were some minor conflicts, it was just a common thing between husband and wife. After the quarrel, he could still go back and coax her. This does not further illustrate their relationship. Can it stand the test?
So after getting up early, I specially pestered Xu Yin to show up in front of Zhang, slap her hard on the face, and let her see that her marriage was not something that a villain like Zhang could instigate!
She saw the little girl as soon as she entered the door.
Although Pei Zhan is a very dazzling man in every aspect, for a woman, especially the woman whose husband is sitting next to him, he looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his eyes are so bright. The same little girl as Xingxing's, but more attractive to her.
"Why don't you eat?" After saying this, she added, "That girl is really outstanding, isn't she?"
Xu Yin has indeed never shown any interest in this girl before. He has been like this for so many years, looking at all women except her.
But he is also an ordinary man. Faced with such a beautiful girl, and she was brought in by Pei Zhan, he is so indifferent. Does it seem deliberate?
Xu Yin withdrew his gaze and caught the inquiry in her eyes.
He raised his lips: "It looks good at first glance. But the charm is not as good as yours?"
Yongping also raised his lips and said: "Aren't you quite familiar with General Pei? I would like to invite this girl to come over and talk."
When the girl was close, she could tell whether he was truly unmoved or pretending to be indifferent.
Xu Yin looked at her, and then nodded: "Okay, you don't have many friends on weekdays. I think someone with a sensitive eye must have something special about him. If we are in love, maybe we can exchange more handkerchiefs."
He didn't want to provoke Pei Zhan. But when Fu Zhen arrives at Yong Ping's side, he will have plenty of opportunities to verify his guesses from her.
