Pei Yanzhou's dark eyes fell into deep thought for a moment.
When he looked back at the girl in front of him, his cold eyebrows became gentle again, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
But before he could open his mouth, there was a sudden rush of horse hooves at the street corner.
Song Jinyin just looked back and saw that the big horse was almost rushing to her.
Different from the last time when the carriage was traveling very fast, this time the horse seemed to be going crazy and rushed straight towards where there were people.
...
Pei Yanzhou never thought that it would be like this when he was once again embraced by warm and fragrant soft jade.
He almost got caught under the big horse, and almost let the people in his arms see that terrible scene.
He ignored Song Jinyin's waist and pushed her head to his chest with one hand.
After he stopped moving, he could still feel the slight trembling of the person in his arms and the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.
"Don't be afraid."
Pei Yanzhou comforted him.
But his voice was hoarse, and he was also the one who was frightened.
If she had been one step slower, even if Song Jinyin avoided the big horse, she would have hit the carriage shaft, or she would have frightened the horse next to her and been injured.
No matter how you think about it, it is something that makes people scared.
"It's okay."
There was a gentle coaxing with endless patience in his ears.
Song Jinyin kept raising her hands to protect her belly. There was a faint light coming through her eyes, but most of it was still dark, and she didn't know what was going on outside.
After being hugged, I heard the chaos coming from the street, mixed with a muffled groan in my ears.
Although she couldn't raise her head, she knew it was the sound of Pei Yanzhou's back hitting the carriage to protect her.
Song Jinyin opened her lips, and it took a long time to recover from the fear of the approaching horse, "Is the prince okay?"
Seeing that she wanted to leave his arms, Pei Yanzhou tightened his arms around her and said in a low voice: "Wait a moment, the chaos on the street is not over yet, don't scare...the child in your belly."
The original struggle stopped.
The two seemed to have a brief reconciliation until Kurin stepped forward with his sword in hand.
"Master, the crazy horse has been subdued. The situation needs to be examined before we know the situation. There is no suspicious person in front. Xuanwei is still investigating, but your body..."
"nothing."
With Cang Lin's voice, Song Jinyin finally withdrew from his arms, but seeing that his face was not very good, she still frowned and gave a careful warning.
"Your Majesty, I'd better let Doctor Mu take a look first, don't let it become an old disease."
"good."
Seeing that she cared about him, Pei Yanzhou swept away his dissatisfaction with Cang Lin's appearance just now, and a tiny light shone in his black eyes.
Just looking at the empty street that was frightened by the big horse, he finally suppressed what he was thinking and did not force the person to stay.
"It's common in the army for horses to be frightened. Don't be afraid. Go back to the embroidery workshop first."
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Jinyin raised her eyes and looked at his back again, her expression was complicated for a moment.
She was just grateful and had no intention of staying. She just said thank you again and left.
Pei Yanzhou's eyes turned completely cold after she left, and there was a murderous look between his eyebrows that he hadn't seen in a long time.
In that scene just now, if he hadn't been there, Song Jinyin would have been injured, and the injury would have been serious.
"Master, since you promised Miss Jinyin, why not let Doctor Mu take a look at the wound?"
"We'll see when we get back. First let people comfort the people on the street."
Pei Yanzhou got on the carriage, and when he moved, his back did feel a little pain, but compared to the previous injury, it was not serious.
"The people in Luo City are more restless than I thought."
"Master, the Miss Feng you asked your subordinates to investigate yesterday did have some thoughts."
"explain."
"Do you still remember in the first few days, after Governor Feng withdrew the people who inquired about the information, another group of people came to investigate your whereabouts, but you were too lazy to care about it at the time, and you didn't take it to heart."
"Well, he's hers?"
Pei Yanzhou half-squinted his eyes, then stopped when the tea cup was brought to his mouth.
Those people wanted to inquire about him just to get news about Kyoto, so there was no point in doing so.
Especially after I warned Governor Feng, I thought that he would be somewhat measured, but I never thought that the person coming up from behind would be a woman.
"Back to the master, it is indeed that person, Miss Feng. It seems that she likes the master and thinks that she can..."
The face of the person in front of him was terrifyingly cold, and Cang Lin didn't dare to say anything else.
It was just a guess, but he still spoke according to what he was thinking.
"My subordinates guess that although her people can't keep up with the master, she may have known about Miss Jinyin's relationship with you from the side, but she was scrupulous, so she didn't seek trouble for the girl openly."
"From the side?"
Pei Yanzhou didn't think that Governor Feng would let his daughter know about this.
And that person shouldn't be able to find Song Jinyin based on just that little bit of investigation that he didn't like.
"Only the Yi family...that day inn can touch this place."
"Yes, Master."
Cang Lin said in a deep voice: "Feng Taishou wants to marry his eldest daughter to the young master of the Yi family. This news came out from the Taishou's mansion in just two days. It must be the tricks of those in the back house. I believe that Miss Feng is not I was happy and a little more anxious, so I set my sights on the girl."
Kurin's voice continued in his ears.
Pei Yanzhou was distracted, remembering Song Jinyin's expression when she resisted meeting him.
The stable life she wanted to live was indeed because he was cut open one by one, making her life uncomfortable all day long, and she had to be stared at from time to time.
Pei Yanzhou felt a little depressed.
He didn't expect that just because he wanted to see her, he would cause her trouble again and make her resist again.
"...Master? Prefect Feng hasn't been able to find any evidence yet. This young lady, do you want to let it go first?"
"Lock her up and help spread the news to people in the prefect's mansion who want to harm her."
Pei Yanzhou came back to his senses, suppressed the hesitation and frustration that arose in his heart for the first time, and his voice was filled with frost bit by bit.
"When can this marriage be accomplished? When can we let her out to get married?"
Cang Lin lowered his head and took orders, frowning.
This can be considered a troublesome matter in Luo City no matter where it is turned off.
The only solution is to use poison and directly trap him in the prefect's mansion, unable to leave the courtyard.
And in this way, it can save Miss Jin Yin some trouble.
"Yes, I heard that the eldest girl lives a very extravagant life. She is also ruthless on weekdays and loves to bully the people. Let her suffer some hardships, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
Speaking of which, no matter how much money the Yi family has, it is not suitable for the eldest daughter of the prefecture. Governor Feng is eager to marry a daughter, maybe just to stabilize the Yi family.
As for what is stable, it should be what they want to investigate now.
Pei Yanzhou put down the tea cup in his hand and held Song Jinyin's jade pendant in his hand.
The little girl's words echoed in her ears again, with dissatisfaction and she just wanted to draw a clear line with him.
But the little girl doesn't do it just for herself.
She has her own reasons.
She was obviously angry, but she changed the topic and told him her suspicions in a sweet voice, for this city that she was not very familiar with.
Perhaps it was because the former magistrate of Anyang County had suffered too much and did not want to be homeless again.
Even if it was just a guess, she meant every word she said.
Pei Yanzhou thought, this is the girl he holds dear to his heart, and no one in the world can compare with her.
The excitement outside gradually returned.
Cang Rin's voice stopped for a moment and started again.
"Master, your hand?"
Pei Yanzhou came to his senses and then remembered the scar on his hand that was scratched by the tea cup. The dried blood looked quite scary.
But Pei Yanzhou just chuckled lightly, his eyes dark.
Song Jinyin said she didn't care who he was with, but he did.
There will be no one else by his side, and Song Jinyin must never have anyone else by his side.
"It doesn't matter."
Pei Yanzhou raised his hand, "If I remember correctly, the Yi family gradually settled into its current position after Governor Qian left... Go check the disaster relief funds two years ago and the Yi family's business bank account books , and see how many we can find.”
After saying this, the man stood up, lifted the curtain and prepared to get out of the carriage. Cang Lin was so surprised that he hurriedly spoke out.
"Master, you..."
Doctor Mu has been waiting nearby for a long time. The master should bandage his hand at least.
But Pei Yanzhou didn't take his injury to heart at all. He just got out of the carriage, took the horse from Xuanwei at the side, and got on.
What happened just now was not a coincidence, he wanted to investigate it himself.
...
Lin Jingxiu followed Xuan Wei to check the horse. After learning that the horse had not been drugged, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
He had also seen Crazy Horse on the hunting ground two years ago, but it was different from the one today. It was so obviously aggressive.
If the reaction was slower, today it would be either Song Jinyin or Pei Yanzhou, or him standing near the carriage.
"Are they coming for us...?"
"You'll know if you go out for a few rounds these days."
"Why are you here without coaxing your sweetheart? Oh, I forgot, you still can't coax her now."
When Lin Jingxiu saw the person coming, he immediately became energetic and began to ridicule him without fear of death.
Sure enough, the face of the man in front of him darkened for a moment, and his whole body became a bit colder.
"Originally I wanted to send you back to Kyoto earlier, but now that I'm here, I want you to stay in Luo City longer."
"What are you doing? Master Pei can't be reluctant to leave me, right?"
"Be a target."
Pei Yanzhou's eyes were cold, he glanced at him lightly, and then walked towards the big horse.
"What do you mean? Whose target are you targeting?"
