How could Pei Qi dare to say anything? Her heart was almost beating out of her chest, and the wound on her waist was aching faintly. It was really uncomfortable to be questioned aggressively by Rong Qin.
"Rong Qin, please go away a little bit, can we talk properly?" Pei Qi pushed his chest and raised his head to resist.
"Speak well?" Rong Qin sneered, and repeated Pei Qi's words meaningfully: "Madam is very presumptuous today, how can I speak well if I let myself be?"
Looking at this posture, Rong Qin really didn't intend to let her go.
Pei Qi rolled his eyes, misinterpreting Rong Qin's words naturally, and said carelessly: "I had low back pain and couldn't touch the apricot cake, so I asked you to help..."
"That's not what the truth is talking about." But Rong Qin didn't save any face for her and interrupted her on the spot: "What the truth is talking about is why you want to embarrass Jiang Fengchuan."
This little girl, I really thought he didn't know why she deliberately made the noise of eating loud at the banquet?
Ye Rou had been raised in a boudoir since she was a child, and she married him not long after Ji Ji. She had never had anything in common with Jiang Fengchuan, so why did she do such a thing?
This made him suspicious.
"I'm just annoying him."
Although this was just a reason to fool Rong Qin, in Pei Qi's heart, she really didn't like Jiang Fengchuan.
Pei Qi's unreasonable words made Rong Qin stunned and cast an inquiring look.
Knowing that Rong Qin was waiting for her to explain, Pei Qi lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong: "Today, Miss Lu was supposed to be giving her haircut ceremony. Everyone was very happy, but Mr. Lu Guogong didn't even say a word. After that, that Jiang Fengchuan came in, smashed the wine pot, and tried to steal Lu Guogong's position. It was obvious that he was just here to cause trouble, how abominable."
"He bullied Duke Lu, and I really couldn't stand it, so... just..."
"So you are going against Jiang Fengchuan?" Rong Qin raised his eyebrows, but he really didn't expect her to have such a reason.
Seeing that Rong Qin believed it, Pei Qi nodded quickly: "Yeah!"
"Then why did you stop Zhao Taishi from answering?" Rong Qin asked again the next second before Pei Qi could take a breath.
"I……"
Pei Qi thought for a while, hesitating whether he should say it out or whether Rong Qin would become suspicious after saying it.
But Rong Qin didn't intend to give her a chance to think, and urged: "Speak."
That’s it, give it a go.
"I'm afraid that Taishi Zhao will die." Pei Qi said bravely: "Jiang Fengchuan's reputation in the imperial capital has always been bad. Anyone who has any problems with him will end up badly. Taishi Zhao is quite kind. I don't want to He died in vain."
"But he... died in the end."
Pei Qi said, his face full of guilt, which Rong Qin could see clearly.
Rong Qin didn't speak anymore, but was considering the authenticity of her words.
All this seems reasonable, as she is kind-hearted and wants to save someone's life, but what if she has selfish motives and her real purpose is to destroy Jiang Fengchuan's plan?
Ye Rou was timid by nature, so how could she openly challenge Jiang Fengchuan?
But everything she said and did was within reason.
He couldn't tell whether it was true or false for a moment.
Rong Qin put down his arm and took a step back, thus letting Pei Qi go.
He walked to the table, poured a glass of already cold water, and took a sip.
He raised his eyes and looked at Pei Qi with interest: "Since you know that Jiang Fengchuan has a bad reputation and is a murderer, but you still dare to challenge him openly in public, aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble for you?"
Pei Qi was relieved to see that Rong Qin's expression was as usual and he showed no suspicion.
She walked up to Rong Qin, helped him sit down as if to please, and pretended to give him a slap on the shoulder: "With you here, what should I be afraid of?"
"Huh?" Rong Qin seemed surprised by her answer and paused for a moment while holding the tea cup.
Then he grabbed the hand on his shoulder, pulled her into his arms and held her gently, letting her sit on his lap: "Because the truth is there, Madam can be confident?"
"He's quite brave. He even dares to offend Jiang Fengchuan."
Pei Qi subconsciously hooked her arms around Rong Qin's neck to stabilize her body, and her face heated up with his breath so close at hand.
She quickly lowered her head: "Aren't you a big shot in the court? I am your wife, so Jiang Fengchuan will not dare to do anything to me, so I am bold."
A few words of flattery were undoubtedly very useful to Rong Qin, and his mood immediately improved and he no longer kept a straight face.
Although Pei Qi didn't mean what he said, it had to be said that Rong Qin's power was indeed a source of confidence.
"Smooth talk." Rong Qin flicked her forehead lightly, his eyes fell on the red blood on her waist, and asked in a low voice: "Does it still hurt?"
"It hurts!" Because he had enjoyed the sweetness of Rong Qin's inner strength, Pei Qi quickly nodded miserably and muttered: "Just now at the banquet, you pressed my acupuncture point, and I couldn't move until I pulled the wound. It hurt so much. …”
Rong Qin brought his hand to Pei Qi's wound, secretly stimulating his inner strength, and looked at her with some humor: "If you like the inner strength of your true self, just say it, you don't have to make such a high-sounding excuse, and you have become your true self." No."
"The truth is, I was just afraid that your mouth would be sewn shut by Jiang Fengchuan, so I stopped you. Don't be ignorant."
Pei Qi rolled his eyes secretly.
hehe.
You are obviously worried that I will mess up your conspiracy, why are you pretending to be a good person?
How can I not know who you are, Rong Qin?
Isn't it you, the old thief, who is really high-sounding?
After Pei Qi's pain became less obvious, Rong Qin called Xi Qing in to help her treat the wound again.
Xiaosi, who had been restless outside the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Pei Qi was safe and sound.
In order not to attract Rong Qin's attention, Xiaosi returned to the room alone.
Xi Qing took care of Pei Qi's wounds and gave her careful instructions, probably not to let her move too violently and to pay attention to her diet.
Thinking about how much he had eaten at the banquet, Pei Qi scratched his head in embarrassment.
After Xi Qing left, Rong Qin carried her to the bed. When he was about to leave, Pei Qi grabbed her sleeve.
Looking back, I saw Pei Qi looking at him eagerly with a flattering look: "Rong Qin, let's discuss something?"
"What's the matter?" Out of curiosity about Pei Qi's change in attitude, Rong Qin raised his eyes and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Is Yaoyue really dead?" she asked.
Invite the moon?
Oh, it's the slave who has trouble doing things.
Noticing the worry in Pei Qi's eyes, Rong Qin thought for a while before speaking: "I don't know, he probably won't die."
According to the rules of the Prime Minister's Palace, the slave's matter will inevitably lead to a period of painful punishment. As for whether she can survive, it all depends on her fate.
He has no time to care about these unimportant people.
Can't die?
Pei Qi was overjoyed and quickly sat up from the bed, hugged Rong Qin's arm and shook it coquettishly: "Can you return Yaoyue to me?"
As if he didn't expect Pei Qi to behave like this, Rong Qin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses.
There was a hint of mischief in his eyes. He put one hand on the bed and leaned towards Pei Qi: "Want that slave?"
"Then beg me."
