Huo Zhun's arrow was already on the string, and his eyes were full of lust. He buried his face between her collarbones and said in a hoarse voice, "We will discuss this matter tomorrow."
Pei Ruolan had been waiting for this opportunity. She was not willing to allow him. She pushed his upper body away a little with both hands and said, "My mother has always been weak. I have been away from home for a few days. I really don't trust her."
Huo Zhun held her waist with one hand, pinched the center of his eyebrows with the other hand, and took a step back, "Tomorrow, I will send Dr. Liang to the Pei family."
"No!" Pei Ruolan was very stubborn, "I have to see with my own eyes that my mother is fine before I can rest assured."
Huo Zhun couldn't do anything to her, and he thought that Pei Riwen was also serving in the Pei family, so he relented and said, "This king allows you to do it."
Pei Ruolan felt happy when she got his promise, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief. The next moment, her breath had been taken away by him.
He kissed her deeply, and his tall body pressed against her like a mountain and sea. Pei Ruolan's upper body was even pressed so hard that it was hanging outside the railing. When she was about to faint, he let go of her, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the library.
That night, the two of them stayed on the seventh floor of the library. On a mid-spring day, the night was still a bit chilly, so he locked her in his arms. As he breathed, his hot breath spread on her neck, irritating her skin. All burned.
Pei Ruolan felt very uncomfortable, but she wanted to go home smoothly tomorrow and didn't want to make him unhappy, so she endured it and fell asleep slowly in the latter half of the night.
At dawn the next day, she woke up again.
She moved a little, and Huo Zhun woke up. His thumb caressed her slender shoulders, looked at the back of her head and asked, "You've only been away for a few days, and you still miss home so much?"
There was sadness and loneliness in Pei Ruolan's eyes. During these few days of being trapped in the palace, every day seemed to be so long that there was no end in sight. Now that she had finally won a short period of freedom, she could not sleep anymore. She just wished she could grow wings and fly back to Pei's house immediately.
I was thinking this in my heart, but I just said lightly, "My mother is not in good health, and I will always remember her in my heart."
When Huo Zhun heard what she said, he said nothing, but his eyes gradually became distant, and a soft and delicate figure appeared in his mind...
The two rested for a while before getting up. Sang Yun had already taken people outside, and even breakfast was ready.
After breakfast, Huo Zhun told Sang Yun, "Let Du Lin prepare the car and take Miss Pei back home."
Hearing this, Sang Yun was about to retreat, but Pei Ruolan held Huo Zhun's arm and said, "There's no need for anyone to prepare the car. I'll be back by myself in the evening."
Huo Zhun lowered his head and glanced at her snow-white catkins. He thought that it was not appropriate for her to swagger through the city in the carriage of the Prince of Wei before she officially left the cabinet in broad daylight, so he acquiesced to her request.
After coming out of the library, the two walked side by side on the bluestone corridor. After reaching the intersection of the study, Huo Zhun stopped, lowered his head and said, "Come back early."
Pei Ruolan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be back as soon as possible." After saying that, he turned and left.
Huo Zhun looked at her back, watched her go away, and then walked to the study.
The Pei family was in Lexianfang, half an hour away from Chongdefang where Prince Wei's residence was located. Pei Ruolan hired a carriage after leaving Yanzheng Street.
Leaning against the wall of the car, listening to the noisy sounds outside, Pei Ruolan felt more and more that Prince Wei's Mansion was like a cold prison.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside Pei's house. Pei Ruolan got out of the car and stared at the plaque of "Pei's House" for a long time before walking towards the corner door with red eyes.
When she walked in, Pei Riwen got the news and took the bookboy to the front hall to wait.
"Brother!" When the brother and sister met, Pei Ruolan cried out in tears, feeling aggrieved.
Pei Riwen smiled elegantly and wiped her tears while saying, "Brother, you are wronged because of your incompetence." He paused and then said, "You can come back today, but is King Wei willing to let you go?"
Pei Ruolan shook his head slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his moist eyes, "He is just giving the prisoners a break!" Then he added, "Let's not talk about him anymore. I heard that my mother was very angry with Hongming's father and mother. She can't do anything right now. fine?"
"Doctor Bai from Qianjin Hall has come to see me. There is nothing serious at the moment, but he can no longer be stimulated."
"I'm going to see her." Pei Ruolan said and turned towards the backyard.
Pei Riwen watched her walking away quickly with her clothes fluttering, and calmly ordered the book boy, "Arrange a Xuanlong Guard to follow Ruolan. I want to know every move, word and deed she makes."
"Yes, sir."
In Prince Wei's Mansion, Huo Zhun read the papers on the table and looked at the sky outside the window. It was already dark and golden, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Send someone to the Pei family to have a look, but what happened?" He asked Du Lin in a deep voice.
Du Lin was ordered to retreat.
Half an hour later, he came in and reported, "Miss Pei is infected with wind and cold. She is afraid that she will be exposed to the prince after she has passed the illness. She wants to wait until she recovers before returning to the prince's palace."
Huo Zhun frowned, "You were fine this morning. Why did you fall ill just after returning to Pei's house? Did you ask a doctor to treat you?"
Du Lin didn't reply. He took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and presented it respectfully, "These are Miss Pei's words and deeds recorded by Mr. Pei with Xuanlong Guard."
When Du Lin avoided his question, Huo Zhun's face darkened, and when he saw the paper he presented, he couldn't help but sneer.
