Huo Zhun's ruthless questioning opened another hole in Pei Ruolan's heart, and blood flowed profusely for a while.
Thinking of Lu Hongming, she clutched her chest and stopped. Her pale lips trembled slightly. She stopped talking several times, but in the end she didn't say anything. She opened the door forcefully and walked out.
Huo Zhun watched Pei Ruolan leave without saying a word, and his face suddenly darkened. After a long time, he got up and changed his clothes.
"Your Majesty, Grandma Song personally escorted Miss Pei out of the house. Mr. Pei has been waiting in the front hall for a long time." Huo Zhun came out of the wing, and the chamberlain Du Lin hurriedly stepped forward to report.
Huo Zhun's eyes flashed with rich complexity and he walked towards the front yard.
In the front hall of the palace, Pei Riwen had been waiting for two hours. When he heard footsteps coming from outside, he pushed his wheelchair forward and said, "I have seen the prince."
Huo Zhunxian glanced at him, walked straight to the main seat, and sat down with a golden sword.
Pei Riwen was a little unsure whether the two of them had succeeded. He turned his wheelchair to follow and asked tentatively, "I wonder if the prince is still satisfied with my sister's service?"
Huo Zhun raised his head. The man in front of him was dressed in white and had a jade belt. His eyebrows were like ink paintings and his eyes were like autumn waves. Even if he was not good at acting, he could not hide his splendor. However, the character under the skin was no longer what it used to be.
That disaster ultimately destroyed the former No. 1 son of the aristocratic family.
He suppressed the annoyance in his heart, took a sip of tea from the table, and said coldly, "Miss Pei is strong and disobedient."
When Pei Riwen heard this, his expression froze for a moment, but he opened the bow without turning back. Besides, the King of Wei is a noble man, a man of literary and military skills, and holds great power. Ruolan is lucky to be able to follow him.
Thinking of this, he suggested with a smile, "Ruolan has always been soft-hearted, and she feels guilty towards her subordinates. In my opinion, the prince can find an excuse to detain his subordinates. In desperation, she will definitely be at your mercy... "
Huo Zhun put down the tea cup with a "bang" and looked at Pei Riwen coldly with a hawk-like gaze. After a long time, he said with a smile, "Okay!"
Pei Riwen and Huo Zhun looked at each other, with dark gleams in their eyes, and their ambitions were clearly visible.
In Pei Mansion, the entire mansion was hung with red lanterns, and red silk was floating everywhere. The servants were also singing and laughing, looking festive. On the way back to Qilan Courtyard, maids and servants kept passing by Pei Ruolan. Congratulations.
Pei Ruolan seemed to have lost her perception of the outside world, her steps were sluggish and she was in a trance.
Back at Qilan Courtyard, Pei Ruolan locked herself in the room without waiting for the maid to ask.
In the darkness, she stumbled towards the clean room and immersed herself and her clothes in the pool.
The biting cold gave her a sense of reality about the world. She kept thinking of the humiliation she had suffered in Prince Wei's palace and the cheers of her servants, and hot tears fell down her cheeks.
She really didn't know how to explain what happened today. She didn't know who had harmed her, let alone whether she should confess to him in front of the church.
If she didn't confess, how could she live up to the friendship between the two of them since they were young? But if she confessed, she was afraid that he would get angry and desperately make an enemy of the King of Wei. Using the two of them as powerful people would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
When she was in a dilemma, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Pei Ruolan thought it was the maid returning and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and whispered, "Didn't I tell you all to go out?"
The next moment, what came to her ears was Mrs. Pei's anxious voice, "Ruolan, it's mother, something happened to your brother."
Without waiting for Pei Ruolan to ask, Mother Lu continued, "It's rare that he is in the mood today and is willing to go out to meet friends. Unexpectedly, a group of people had too much wine, and one of them suddenly arranged for the king of Wei. The chief minister of the palace happened to be in the next room, so he reported Official. Thanks to Bingyuan's cleverness and some money, the bartender at Dingyuan Building was willing to help report the news."
Mrs. Pei was so anxious that she didn't realize there was anything wrong with what she said, but Pei Ruolan could hear the clues as soon as she heard it.
How could there be such a coincidence? I'm afraid this was a trap set by King Wei for her.
He regretted it, he didn't want to let her go at all.
"Ruolan, didn't you save Nanny Song from Prince Wei's mansion a few years ago? Can you intercede with her?" Seeing Pei Ruolan coming out of the clean room, Mrs. Pei held her wrist tightly and asked.
Pei Ruolan had a wound on her wrist and frowned in pain, but she still had the patience to comfort her mother, "At this moment, the keys to the palace have been locked up. Even if I ask Aunt Song, I have to wait until early tomorrow morning."
"But tomorrow is not the day for you and Hong Ming to get married?"
Pei Ruolan's tears that had stopped almost burst again because of these words. She didn't want to worry her mother, so she turned her back and looked at the crescent moon outside the window. She dug her nails into her palms and whispered with red eyes, "Save." Brother, it’s important, let’s postpone the marriage for a while!”
Mrs. Pei looked at her daughter's slender back and slightly raised head, and vaguely noticed something. However, thinking of her eldest son in prison, she didn't say anything in the end. She told her, "Then take a good rest," and left.
When Pei Ruolan heard the door being closed, she couldn't bear it any longer. She covered her face and cried bitterly. She almost lost her breath several times.
She didn't understand why God was so cruel to her. She was going to be a bride tomorrow, but now everything was ruined.
