With a "嘤" sound, a pair of beautiful eyes opened in the dim light, and endless confusion appeared on the delicate face as big as a palm.
Pei Shitong looked at the intricate huanghuali carved chilong pattern bed frame above, the exquisite yellow dragon pattern draped silk and satin, and the hanging green silk and blue gauze. She felt clean and refreshing, and felt that her body was free from any pain. For a moment, she seemed to be in a dream. Same.
"You're awake!" A voice suddenly sounded from the shadows at the back, and immediately after, a young official wearing a light crimson official robe came out.
Fei was dressed in silk clothes, with a silver jade belt hanging around her waist, holding a book in her hand, with handsome features and a gentle look. Her eyes fell on herself, making Pei Shitong feel a sense of warmth for a moment.
"I remember you. You showed up outside the city. You are from You Qianniu Guard!" Pei Shitong propped up his body slightly, glanced at Li Xuan warily, and then looked around: "I am here now where?"
The whole room is not big, about the same size as Pei Shitong's boudoir, but all the furniture is dazzling and magnificent.
"This is the dormitory of Shang Yao Bureau." After a brief pause, Li Xuan said softly: "This is the palace. When you fell into the hands of Tianyin Sect before, you suffered a lot of hidden injuries on your body, including your lungs. I am currently responsible for treating the disease, so I just use the medicine here to help you treat it."
Pei Shitong didn't even pay attention to what Li Xuan said later. She just looked at Li Xuan with some confusion: "Is this the palace?"
"Of course, this is the palace. A few hours ago, I rescued you from the hands of the demon Ye Wanwan and then sent you to the palace."
After a short pause, Li Xuan took two steps forward, walked to the bed, and looked at Pei Shitong solemnly: "I don't know what you have been through, but I want to tell you that the news of your entry into the palace is not only Qianniu The guards know it, the Jinwu guards know it, Henan County, Luozhou Governor's Office, Dali Temple and Yushitai all know it, and the Pei family also knows it."
Li Xuan had said a lot before, but Pei Shitong's expression didn't change much. When she heard about the Pei family, her face immediately lit up.
If the Pei family knows about it, it means that the Crown Princess knows about it, not to mention that this is in the palace.
"Pei Siqing of Zongzheng Temple is waiting outside now. There are people waiting outside at Dali Temple, Yushitai, Ministry of Punishment, Luozhou Governor's Office, Luoyang County, Jinwu Guard, Qianniu Guard, and even Shangshutai. You should Understand your situation, and if you wait for half a quarter of an hour, I will take you out, and you can think of what to say!"
After finishing speaking, Li Xuan took a deep look at Pei Shitong, then retreated to the round table again, and read her book.
Pei Shitong was lying on the bed, covered with a soft silk quilt, and his expression became extremely sad in a very short time.
People always have to face reality. Her struggle at the hands of the Tianyin Sect during this period has made her somewhat forget her tragic blood feud.
Now everything came to mind again, and the bloody scenes that I had witnessed came to my face again and again. Pain, regret, and hatred filled my mind instantly.
Unconsciously, Pei Shitong's face was already filled with tears.
Li Xuan didn't know when she was standing beside the bed again, reaching out and gently wiping the tears on Pei Sitong's face with a thin towel.
The right side of her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
"Forget it, don't get up. I'd better let them in." Li Xuan stretched out her hand to support Pei Shitong on the bed and handed him a cup of warm tea: "Be prepared, they won't be too polite to you."
"Yeah!" Pei Shitong gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, with endless hatred clearly visible in his eyes.
Li Xuan turned around, walked to the door of the house, opened the door gently, and stepped out before Pei Shitong could clearly see the situation outside.
At this time, in the courtyard of Shang Yao Bureau, although there were only sporadic firelights flickering not far away, the entire Shang Yao Bureau was already full of people.
Liu Rengui, the left prime minister, Pei Guangxiao, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, Zhang Wenguan, the minister of Dali Temple, Li Jingxing, the general of the Zuo Qianniu Guard, Jun Qiu Shenji, the middle man of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, as well as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Chief of the Prefecture of Luozhou, the Supervisor of the Yushitai, etc. Wait, everyone is waiting outside.
The murder case of Luoyang County Lieutenant Pei Qizhe's family is not only related to the unjust case of the whole family, but also related to the conspiracy and calculation of Tianyin Sect, Wu Shengdao and other demonic sects in the court, especially related to the mystery of the prince's death from illness, which must be solved Figured it out.
Li Xuan raised her hands to everyone and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, gentlemen, I see that Miss Pei is still weak. Could you please come in for a visit?"
"Yes!" Liu Rengui nodded directly, and then walked into the house first.
Pei Guangxiao and Zhang Wenguan hurriedly followed. Li Jingxing, Qiu Shenji, and others were about to enter again. Li Xuan directly reached out to stop them: "Everyone, the house of Shangyao Bureau is small. I can trouble you to just listen at the door. Don't do it." Go in and scare the little girl.”
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the house. However, he did not close the door, but opened a gap slightly so that the sounds in the room could be heard clearly.
Li Jingxing glanced at Qiu Shenji, who was fully armored, and suddenly laughed, shook his head, and stood at the door to wait!
Qiu Shenji frowned slightly, but he noticed Li Jingxing's gaze and suddenly understood, so he simply stood at the door and listened.
The others took a peek inside the house, and the Prime Minister Zuo's questioning voice could be clearly heard from inside, so they all stayed outside the door.
If you think about it carefully, what Li Xuan said makes sense. It is one thing that the house is small. The key is that once they go in, they may not have a chance to ask questions.
"Your situation has indeed improved a lot." Liu Rengui let go of Pei Shitong's hand on Pei Shitong's wrist, and then said gently: "When these things are over, Pei Siqing will send you back to your hometown in Hedong to live with your grandparents. They will raise you up.”
Although Pei Qizhe died, he still had his parents, brothers, and countless clan members in his hometown in Hedong.
For young children like Pei Shitong who have lost their parents, each major family has its own system of raising them, so outsiders don't need to worry too much.
"I won't go back!" Pei Shitong suddenly spoke, her voice was very hoarse, her eyes fell directly on Li Xuan, gritted her teeth and said: "I will follow him and kill all those who killed my parents! "
In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on Li Xuan, and even Li Xuan herself pointed at herself with a look of disbelief.
"Me?" Li Xuan quickly waved her hand and said, "I am not responsible for the pursuit of the Tianyin Sect and Wu Sheng Dao. There is no point in looking for me."
"But they won't let you go." Pei Shitong's sudden words made Li Xuan immediately jump with fear. At the same time, everyone present looked at Pei Shitong in great surprise.
"Yes, she is a smart girl." Liu Rengui suddenly smiled, nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are right, Tianyin Sect and Wusheng Tao will not let King Nanchang go, but the court will not make it so easy for them. If they succeed, they will send people to protect the King of Nanchang. As time goes by, they will give up without finding an opportunity!"
"I know, but I believe that he will not let them go." Pei Shitong's next words made everyone present more and more surprised.
This is especially true for Liu Rengui, who is the only one among everyone present who knows that Li Xuan will go to Wuzhou to take up a post soon.
To the north of Wuzhou is Muzhou, and Muzhou is the headquarters of the Tianyin Sect. The dispute between Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang, and the Tianyin Sect is far from over.
Li Xuan also knew this. At this time, he could only look at Pei Guangxiao helplessly: "Pei Weng!"
Pei Guangxiao didn't know what he was thinking. He was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, clarity returned to his eyes.
Knocking gently on the bed, Pei Guangxiao said softly: "If Tong'er doesn't want to go back to Hedong, it's not impossible. The poems and books of my Pei family have been passed down to the world. Even a girl can study. It's okay for Tong'er to stay and study in Luoyang Girls' School; Furthermore, Wanying lives alone in the palace... She is somewhat lonely in the mansion, so Tong'er can stay with her."
Wanying, Pei Wanying, Pei Wanying, the daughter of Right Guard General Pei Judao, is the crown prince Li Hong's concubine.
Now, the prince died of illness. Although he was posthumously named the filial emperor, there is no place for the prince concubine in the palace.
Especially after Yong Wang Li Xian was named the crown prince, the title of crown princess would also fall on Yong Wang Concubine Fang's head, and it would have nothing to do with her.
If you don't want to live in the palace, you can only move outside the palace.
At this time, it would also be a good thing if one or two relatives can accompany you.
