How could that be?

Xie Jingxu's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the direction of the hall incredulously.

The hall, which was bustling with noise just now, suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the gate in unison.

At the gate, accompanied by a steady sound of footsteps, a tall and superior figure slowly walked towards them.

He was wearing a purple-gold robe and a white jade crown. He raised his long eyes slightly and glanced around.

The originally quiet hall was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.

After scanning the area, his eyes finally stopped on the beautiful figure behind the group, and a hint of warmth appeared in his distant and indifferent eyes.

Jiang Shiyuan, who was still panting while holding the whip, heard the message outside, turned his head, and bumped into Pei Che's sight.

The confusion in his eyes turned into surprise.

It's really Pei Che.

He came back early?

Jiang Shiyuan was so surprised that he almost ran towards him, but luckily he held himself back.

It's that time again.

By the way, Pei Che always went out and came back early. It was like this before. Fortunately, she was smart and could always notice it in advance, and then sit down and do her homework obediently, so that he would not catch her mistakes.

Sometimes she would even run in front of his carriage, wait for him to get out, and then jump out to scare him.

What was Pei 께꽬zi's expression at that time?

By the way, he was frightened and stunned, looking very smart.

Master Pei has his moments of inspiration.

Jiang Shiyuan was daydreaming when Pei Che walked straight up to her.

Xie Jingxu was still worried, thinking that Master Pei had always been self-disciplined, prudent and upright, and would definitely not allow someone to use his name to do such a rebellious thing, especially a girl who had not yet married.

"Master Pei, Jiang Shiyuan defied the imperial power and beat the prince in public!" Xie Jingxiu looked up at his face full of whip marks. If his tone was not angry, just looking at his posture, one would think he was trying to take credit.

Pei Che raised his eyes: "I see, do you need me to call a doctor for you?"

Xie Jingxu: …

What kind of attitude is this Pei Che! !

The Fifth Prince was exhausted, and it was as if he had been slapped in the face again, which was more painful than Jiang Shiyuan's whip.

"What does Grand Tutor mean by this? Jiang Shiyuan has done something so disrespectful and disgraceful to the royal family, but Grand Tutor has only punished him and not reprimanded him. It seems that he is protecting him. Could it be that everything Jiang Shiyuan has done today was condoned and approved by Grand Tutor?"

How could the Fifth Prince tolerate this? He seized the opportunity to put a huge accusation on Imperial Tutor Pei's head.

Pei Che reached out and took the whip from Jiang Shiyuan's hand, rubbing her red hand. Hearing this, he glanced at Xie Jingxu and said in a calm voice, "So what?"

That sight seemed to be real, pressing down from top to bottom. Xie Jingxu's breath was caught in his throat, and his back felt cold.

Because he saw murderous intent in Master Pei's eyes.

At this time, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the palace: "Fifth Prince, the emperor urgently summons you, please follow us into the palace."

The fifth prince was stunned, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

The emperor only summoned him but not the culprit Jiang Shiyuan?

Everyone in the hall took a breath and looked at each other.

Jiang Shiyuan had nothing to do with this, and Master Pei was completely protecting him.

What kind of tools are there for marriage alliance? What kind of flattery is this? How can this be considered as having no weight?

It's obvious that Taifu is putting too much pressure on others.

"Don't mention it, when Master Pei and Miss Jiang stand together, one is as steady as a mountain, and the other is as agile as a spider, they are really a perfect match." Someone couldn't help but praise.

"What means did Jiang Shiyuan use to get close to Master Pei?" Someone asked sourly.

"Did they say before that Jiang Shiyuan had been chasing after the prince of Wenyuan Marquis's mansion? How come he suddenly became the Grand Tutor?" There were also people who wanted to watch the fun and think it was a big deal. While they were talking quietly, their eyes occasionally glanced towards the corner of the hall.

Everyone in the palace saw Master Pei's protection of Jiang Shiyuan, and Shen Luchu, who was pulled into a corner by Zhou Jingshen, naturally saw it.

Almost from the moment Pei Che entered the door, his eyes were glued to Pei Che.

He watched Pei Che walk up to Jiang Shiyuan, and the two of them stood together. The scene that he had never imagined in his mind suddenly became concrete and appeared before his eyes——

It’s glaring, extremely glaring.

He also saw Jiang Shiyuan's gaze towards Pei Che, full of tenderness and an irrepressible smile.

He was very familiar with this kind of gaze, so familiar that he once thought it belonged exclusively to him.

But now, Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were full of others. As for him, she had never given him a glance since she entered the hall. Even when he stood up to block the wine for him, she didn't even glance at him.

Shen Luchu felt a dull pain in his chest. Every time he thought of it, a blunt knife would cut through his body, slowly and fatally, but it continued with every beat.

Zhou Jingshen watched Shen Lvchu staggering while holding his body, his face losing color, and quickly reached out to support him.

"Lü Chu, are you okay?"

Chen Luchu shook his head, looked at Jiang Shiyuan in the distance, and rushed over, so fast that Zhou Jingshen couldn't stop him.

"I'm going to ask her."

Xie Jingxiu was asked to leave.

Pei Che lowered his head and asked Jiang Shiyuan: "Still playing?"

The tone was like that of parents coming outside to pick up their children after the school day was over.

Jiang Shiyuan shook his head and said, "I'm tired."

She knew why. With Pei Che, she felt more confident and felt like she had returned to her former pride.

Pei Che smiled, holding the whip in one hand, holding her hand with the other, and turned to walk out.

"Let's go back home."

More like it.

Jiang Shiyuan did not refuse. After all, Pei Che had supported her like this. If she pulled her hand back, it would be like slapping Pei Che in the face.

Under everyone's gaze, the two turned around and were about to walk out of the hall when suddenly a figure rushed over and blocked their way.

Jiang Shiyuan was startled and subconsciously hid next to Pei Che.

Pei Che opened his hands, held her in his arms, and looked at her coldly.

Shen Luchu watched the intimate actions of the two, especially Jiang Shiyuan's subconscious avoidance. The dull pain in his body suddenly turned into a piercing pain, and the dull knife turned into a sharp blade, piercing through his body.

In the past, when she was by his side, she had never shown such dependence, never before.

At most she would just say thank you to him, but she would never be so defenseless and rely on someone.

Shen Luchu was struggling to hold his breath from the excruciating pain, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of the purse exposed from Pei Che's waist.

It's Cornus officinalis.

Dogwood on September 9th.

He recognized it; it was Jiang Shiyuan's purse.

so……

That palace was an illusion, what he heard was Jiang Shiyuan's voice.

The person downstairs of Ruyi Tower was mistaken. The one in the carriage was Jiang Shiyuan.

The one who has always been with Pei Che is Jiang Shiyuan.

When Shen Luchu thought of Pei Che's mocking look, he felt as if he had been hit on the head, and a surge of anger burned in his chest.

Is this the upright gentleman that you praise?

He believed that Pei Che knew the relationship between Jiang Shiyuan and him.

Everyone in the capital knew that Jiang Shiyuan liked Shen Lvchu.

Three years ago, Jiang Shiyuan agreed to marry him!

Pei Che played tricks on him again and again.

As if to prove something, Chen Luchu looked at Jiang Shiyuan. No matter how many eyes were watching in the field, no matter what the consequences would be, he wanted to ask: "Jiang Shiyuan, three days ago..."

But he was nervous, Pei Che suddenly spoke, his voice drowning out his words.

"Three years ago, I asked the emperor for permission to marry Yuan'er and me, so we have this marriage."

As if all the doubts had been answered, the hall was silent for a moment, and then bursts of discussions arose.

"Does that mean that the Grand Tutor and Miss Jiang were engaged three years ago? No wonder they acted so quickly."

"Who is it that is gossiping and saying that Miss Jiang likes someone else?"

"Are you blind? With Master Pei, who would choose someone else?"

Chen Luchu opened his mouth, looking at the original, with no intention.

"You scared her."

Master Pei glanced at him, took Jiang Shiyuan's hand, and walked past Shen Luchu with him.

Jiang Shiyuan followed Pei Che's footsteps obediently, and glanced at Pei Che secretly as he walked.

Is this the arranged marriage that my aunt asked Your Majesty for? How did you become the Taifu?
