Was it because Hong Ming was unwilling, or was there some other accident? She made random guesses when a tall figure suddenly walked up to her, and a black shadow enveloped her whole body.
Pei Ruolan suppressed the irritation in her heart and raised her head to glance at the person, "Why did the prince come here suddenly?"
Huo Zhun lightly knocked his eyelids, lifted up her long hair that was scattered behind her head with his big palm, held her fair neck, and rubbed it for a moment before saying, "Your brother sent someone a message and wanted to ask you about the Lu family. What should I do with the returned tokens?”
His tone was casual, but Pei Ruolan noticed the temptation behind this question, especially since her sensitive and fragile neck was still held by his rough hands. She straightened her back as if facing a powerful enemy, and her throat moved slightly, He said, "Please tell my brother, Your Majesty, since the marriage between the two families has been cancelled, those tokens naturally have no value. You can just do whatever you want."
"Okay." Huo Zhun responded in a low voice, released her neck, and sat down next to her.
Pei Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed this test.
Huo Zhun stared at her profile for a moment and asked, "The autumnal equinox will be here in a few days. The chrysanthemums in Yishan Villa are blooming very well. Do you want to take a look?"
It was just about admiring the flowers, Pei Ruolan nodded, "It's just the prince's arrangement."
Huo Zhun smiled, said nothing, sat for a while and left.
After a while, Sang Yun walked in from the outside with brisk steps and said to Pei Ruolan, "I'm going to help you pack the things you need for the hot spring." After that, he turned around and left.
Pei Ruolan was stunned for a moment, then called her, "Don't leave in a hurry. What did you mean by taking a hot spring bath?"
"Your Majesty is not taking you to Yishan Villa. The best hot spring in the entire suburbs of Beijing is right there."
Pei Ruolan frowned, "Your Majesty told me that the chrysanthemums in Yishan Villa are blooming just right."
Sang Yun smiled with ambiguous eyes.
Pei Ruolan didn't know what she thought of, and a pearly pink suddenly appeared on her fair face.
Sang Yunfu retreated.
Pei Ruolan bit the tip of her tongue, wondering what excuse she had to find to postpone the trip to Yishan Villa...
What she didn't know was that Huo Zhun was currently in the west wing of Pei's backyard.
After coming out of the main room, Huo Zhun sat in the study and hesitated for a long time, still wanting to know what Pei Ruolan had given Lu Hongming.
Pei Riwen also didn't expect that King Wei would come to the door in person. After realizing it, he personally sent people to the west wing room and told him that the two carts of tokens returned by the Lu family were in Pei Ruolan's boudoir, so he wisely guarded them in the corridor.
This was the third time Huo Zhun came to Pei Ruolan's boudoir. He looked around and saw faint traces of the owner's life in the house, but more of them were things returned by the Lu family, filling almost every possible place in the house. .
He randomly picked up a few things to look at, but they were just some pens and inks, calligraphy and paintings, fan pendants, and some gadgets that children like.
He felt very bored, but it felt like a huge boulder was pressing on his chest, and his breathing was all suffocating.
When he turned to the last box, he weighed it and found it was very light. Could it be some woven bamboo or straw material? When I opened it, there was a whole box of letters.
Crickets chirped and sang loudly outside the house, but in the house Huo Zhun could only see the four words "翿郎kinsqi" in his eyes. Apparently, that was Lu Hongming's nickname or nickname.
He unfolded the letter in the envelope. The densely packed words inside were full of Pei Ruolan's longing for Lu Hongming, her tenderness and encouragement, and the signature was "Ayou".
When Wujin fell to the west, Huo Zhun stepped out of the west wing.
Pei Riwen heard the creaking sound of the door opening, turned his wheelchair, and said with a graceful hand, "Your Majesty."
Huo Zhun's eyes were bloodshot and he said solemnly, "I don't want to see those things again."
Pei Riwen said "Okay" gently.
Huo Zhun walked away. After leaving the Pei family's house and getting into the car, he opened his palm and found a dry orchid inside. After staring at the flower for a long time, he clenched his palms tightly.
After returning to Prince Wei's Mansion and getting out of the car, Du Lin reported, "Master Pei accidentally set fire to the west wing of the Pei family's house when he was disposing of the two carts of things returned by the Lu family."
A flash of surprise flashed in Huo Zhun's eyes, but he said nothing. He stepped on the steps with black boots embroidered with gold thread and walked inside...
In the bedroom, Pei Ruolan had already rested. Huo Zhun took off his outer robe and lay down beside her on the couch. He held her in his arms, held her earlobe in his mouth, and whispered "Ayou".
He clearly felt that Pei Ruolan's whole body stiffened.
"Ayou..." He called again, and the hot breath spraying on her neck made her shiver.
