Taking advantage of Pei Qi's meal time, Yao Yue took the time to come to Rong Qin's study.
At this time, Rong Qin was discussing matters with others in the study room, and was slightly unhappy about Yao Yue's arrival.
He frowned: "What's the matter?"
Yaoyue knelt on the ground, moved her lips, and told Rong Qin the conversation she had with Pei Qi tonight word for word.
Sitting aside and drinking tea leisurely, Yu Chiyan, who looked like it had nothing to do with him, laughed out loud after hearing this: "I didn't expect that your wife still misses you so much."
As far as he knew, Rong Qin, a cold-faced and animal-hearted guy, had never had a good attitude towards Ye Rou, but Ye Rou still wanted to please Rong Qin. Oh, love really trumps everything!
Of course, apart from that, it is not ruled out that she has other purposes.
Thinking of this, Yu Chiyan couldn't help but raise his head and look at Rong Qin. Rong Qin naturally thought of this aspect, but after all kinds of tests, he proved that Ye Rou was Ye Rou, not to mention that he had already deployed many people around Ye Rou. , Duan Qianjun was just about to return to the imperial capital. Even if he had the intention to win over Ye Rou, he would not win her over so quickly.
Compared with Rong Qin's serious expression, Yu Chiyan looked like he was watching a good show. He grabbed an orange, peeled it and put it in his mouth. He teased vaguely: "If you still doubt her, you might as well borrow it." This is an opportunity for her to leave the house, and we will find out if she has any objections."
Understanding what Yuchiyan meant, Rong Qin propped his chin up, thoughtfully.
"Let's put this aside for now. Is there any news about Pei Qi's whereabouts?"
Yuchi Yan shook his head in defeat: "No."
"Since she separated from the owner of Jade Face Manor, there was news that she fled back to the Imperial Capital, but this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air in the Imperial Capital without any trace."
Based on Rong Qin's understanding of her, it was impossible for Pei Qi to go to Yumian Villa with Jiang Lingfeng at the risk of harming him, and she could not be willing to give up everything she had planned for many years. She would return to the imperial capital even if she took a fatal risk. .
But where is she hiding...
Rong Qin snorted coldly and glanced at Yuchi Yan coolly: "Thankfully you are still the master of Fu Wen Pavilion, so you can't even find this little thing."
As one of the four major forces in the Jianghu, Fuwen Pavilion is famous for its intelligence. As long as Fuwen Pavilion is keeping an eye on it, there are very few things that cannot be found out.
But unfortunately, this time it fell on Pei Qi.
Yu Chiyan looked dissatisfied: "Stop, you can't blame me. Then Pei Qi is as scheming as you, and the city is even deeper than you sometimes. How can he be so easy to deal with?"
"But... I am not a vegetarian in Fu Wen Pavilion. If Pei Qi is alone, there will be no news until now, unless there is someone in the imperial capital secretly helping her."
It's just that in this court, all the remnants of the national division have been strangled by Rong Qin, the prince is in prison, and the Pei family has long severed ties with her. Who else can help her?
Unless, there are remnants of the party that they haven't discovered yet in this imperial capital?
Thinking of this, Rong Qin and Yuchi Yan had a tacit understanding.
It seemed that they had to re-examine who else in the court had a close relationship with Pei Qi.
Yu Chiyan stood up, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and prepared to leave: "Count on the time, the Queen Mother will return to the imperial capital after the Qiqiao Festival, you'd better let the Third Highness ascend the throne before then, otherwise once the Queen Mother puts pressure, the future The road will be more difficult.”
"After all, the Queen Mother is different from Pei Qi. Pei Qi still cares about her relatives, cares about the world, and has weaknesses, but the Queen Mother only cares about the purity of the imperial bloodline. The Third Highness is an illegitimate son who lives among the people. In her eyes, the Third Highness will not be killed no matter what. Neither of them will be the best candidate for the emperor."
Rong Qin naturally understood what Yu Chiyan meant. If he could not let Jiang Fengchuan ascend the throne before the Qiqiao Festival, even if he really got rid of Pei Qi, the Queen Mother and Duan Qianjun would be his biggest obstacles.
But right now, he had to take some time to see the man from Qingxinyuan.
If used properly, Ye Rou may be his weapon to eliminate Duan Qianjun.
In the Qingxin courtyard.
After Yao Yue left, someone quickly brought a table full of food. Pei Qi lay down in front of the table, tapping the table with a chopstick, bored.
Yaoyue left suddenly, presumably to go to Rong Qin to report their conversation just now.
With Rong Qin's temperament, I believe he will come over soon.
She was the chess piece that Rong Qin was about to use. How could Rong Qin tolerate the slightest dissent from her?
I'll definitely come here to test it out.
So we have to wait for him to eat this meal together.
As Pei Qi expected, not long after Yao Yue came back, her door was opened again.
Pei Qi looked up in confusion, stood up in surprise when he saw the person coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "Husband, you are here."
Rong Qin raised his eyebrows: "Madam, are you waiting for me?"
Pei Qi lowered his head shyly, but did not deny it. He took Rong Qin and sat at the table: "It is getting late. I thought that my husband had been busy all day and had not eaten dinner. Today he took me back to Ye's house. I thought you might come here, so I waited."
"Madam, you are interested." Rong Qin took the chopsticks and took a bite of the meat that Pei Qi picked up, with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Pei Qi didn't care. He just played the role of a virtuous wife and stared at him expectantly: "Does it taste good?"
He had probably never seen Ye Rou like this before, and Rong Qin couldn't tell whether she was black or white.
He always felt that compared to Ye Rou, who was always crying and shivering at the side, she was a little different now, but he couldn't explain the specific differences.
Rong Qin nodded perfunctorily, pointed to the food in front of him, and moved his lips: "You don't have to watch me eat. You have been hungry all day, so just use your chopsticks."
Pei Qi was stunned. She didn't expect that this scoundrel would let her eat with him. She couldn't help but look at him with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, husband!"
To be honest, she had been hungry all day. If it wasn't for maintaining the image of a good wife in front of Rong Qin, she would have done it long ago, okay?
But now that Rong Qin had spoken, Pei Qi had no intention of being polite and started eating in small bites.
Maybe it's because both of them have the habit of keeping silent while eating, so they eat the food quietly.
When Rong Qin was half full, he put down his chopsticks and leaned back lazily: "I heard that you want to go out?"
When Pei Qi heard this, his hand holding the food paused, and then he realized what he was doing and slowly took his hand back.
It should be Yao Yue who said it.
After calming down, Pei Qi did not deny it and nodded decisively: "I heard that there is a fish restaurant in the north of the city that makes good fish. I used to like to eat it. I thought my husband would also like it, so I wanted to go out and buy it for you."
"But if my husband doesn't allow me to leave the house, forget it."
As he said that, Pei Qi lowered his head with regret, looking pitiful.
Rong Qin looked at her appearance and felt a little funny. He couldn't help but pinch her chin and teased: "Madam, you love me so much, but why can't you even touch me during the day?"
