Chapter 33 Wild Mandarin Ducks

How close are the two people?

Pei Zhi's steady and powerful heartbeat exploded in Xie Changning's ears, and she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

Especially when his gentle palm covered her lips and their skin touched, she could even feel the thin callus on his palm.

Maybe...torture is also a physically demanding job!

She looked up at Pei Zhi and motioned him to move his hand away.

The two looked at each other, and Pei Zhi understood what she meant.

His hand covering Xie Changning's lips could clearly feel her tenderness. His fingertips moved slightly, and an indescribable attachment arose deep in his heart.

Under her gaze, he nodded slightly and was about to remove his hand.

At this moment, a sound that made people blush came from the rockery next to them.

The voices of the man and the woman intertwined, humming softly, and they were obviously moved, except that it was a little inappropriate.

Xie Changning's eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that the people who just came in were a pair of wild mandarin ducks!!!

Oh my god! Someone please save her.

She is already old, but she is still forced to eavesdrop here.

That would be fine, but I also have to listen to it with Pei Zhi.

It was so embarrassing that I wanted to dig my toes into the ground.

She didn't dare to look at Pei Zhi anymore and quickly turned away. No, she quickly lowered her head. She wished she could find a place to bury her head temporarily.

This way you won't hear any noise coming from next door.

I don’t know if Pei Zhi is as embarrassed as she is, and wants to die.

That should be it!

She could clearly feel Pei Zhi's body stiffen, and his heartbeat accelerated, and even became irregular.

It’s all because the noise from next door is getting louder and louder, and more and more...unbearable to hear.

She didn't know that Pei Zhi was looking at her with his eyes lowered. He was staring at her with extreme concentration, and his dark eyes became even deeper and more unfathomable.

Maybe he forgot or for some other reason, but his gentle palm was still covering Xie Changning's lips.

The tips of his ears unconsciously turned red, and he used a complex and deep gaze to describe Xie Changning's eyebrows over and over again.

As long as Xie Changning raised his eyes, he would notice his unusual appearance.

But she didn't dare.

Xie Changning didn't know how long it had been. It felt so long that it seemed as if several winters and summers had passed before the annoying sound finally stopped, but it wasn't over yet.

"Fang Niang, I miss you so much. Why have you always refused to see me? You said you had another lover and forgot about me." The man was panting, and his voice sounded very aggrieved.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are such a dishonest person. I only have a wild man like you. Are you satisfied now? That useless man seems to have noticed something recently. It's okay this time, but you can't do this again next time. We must be careful. If we are discovered, it will be over." The woman's voice sounded half coaxing and half complaining.

Xie Changning always felt that the voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. However, she was certain that she had definitely seen this woman before.

Being able to come here for an affair, it goes without saying that she is also a guest today.

"Fang Niang, don't be angry. I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"

Then there was a rustling sound coming from next door, and it was obvious that two people were getting dressed.

Soon, the two people left here one after another.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Xie Changning finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they left instead of choosing to do it again...

Would she still be able to live then?

"Master Pei, the person has left. Can you let me go now?" Even though Pei Zhi covered her mouth, it did not stop her from speaking.

Her soft lips opened and closed, like a feather gently brushing across Pei Zhi's palm.

Pei Zhi seemed to be burned by something. His eyes flashed slightly and he quickly withdrew his hand. Then he put his hand behind his back as if nothing had happened.

Then he coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Hou, I was abrupt. It was an emergency and I had to make an emergency decision. I hope Madam Hou won't blame me."

"I should thank Lord Pei!" Xie Changning naturally would not blame Pei Zhi. Fortunately, Pei Zhi reacted in time. If people found out that she and Pei Zhi were hiding in the rockery, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.

"Those two secret guards just now were the Marquis's men. It was the Marquis who saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Pei Zhi said in an affirmative tone.

Xie Changning nodded and looked at Pei Zhi intently. "Master Pei has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Is His Royal Highness all right?"

"Don't worry, Madam Hou. The poison in the prince has been removed, and I have asked someone to move him to a safer place. He should be awake by now." Pei Zhi did not hide anything from her.

So, Pei Zhi is the prince's man!

In her previous life, Xie Changning didn't care about these things. Raising a few children had already exhausted her, and she had no time to take care of anything else.

She only heard about this matter after the prince was deposed.

This means that Pei Zhi was also there at this time in his previous life, so why didn't he save the prince?

"Please accept Pei Zhi's salute, Madam Hou. If you hadn't rescued the prince in time, the consequences would have been disastrous." Pei Zhi's face was solemn. He took a step back and saluted Xie Changning solemnly.

He really didn't expect that those people behind the scenes were so bold that they dared to use such vicious and cruel means to plot against the prince at the birthday banquet of the wife of the Duke of Lu.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late.

"Lord Pei, you're too serious. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne. Absolutely no mistakes can be made. Anyone would save him at all costs." She paused. "The people behind this are truly sinister. It's good for the Crown Prince to be kind, but not too kind. If one plan fails, they will surely strike again. The Crown Prince and Lord Pei must be cautious."

Pei Zhi nodded, and suddenly he fell silent.

Xie Changning thought he was thinking about something, so she didn't dare to disturb him and just watched him silently.

moment.

"Does Madam Hou have any plans to remarry?" Pei Zhi suddenly spoke. He was a little nervous and stared at Xie Changning intently.

"Oh no, there's a fire, come quickly!" At this moment, a panicked voice sounded, instantly drowning out Pei Zhi's voice.
