Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Concubine Hui, no, cousin-in-law.
Wei Qingyan's lips twitched, and the sound was weak. Pei Chengjue didn't want to listen. He sneered through his thin lips, pressed his head and smashed it directly against the piano body on the ground.
With a bang, his head hit the piano, and the strings were stained with blood. Pei Chengjue grabbed his hair again, lifted his head, and exposed his defenseless neck.
Then he stretched out his other palm and ripped the strings with swift movements, leaving several bloody grooves on the palm of his hand and dripping blood.
Along with Wei Qingyan's blood, it fell on the piano with a "pa, pa" sound.
Pei Chengjue felt no pain. He pulled a few strings with his fingers and stared at Wei Qingyan's neck.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived."
After a pause, Pei Chengjue threw away the strings with an expressionless face, let go of Wei Qingyan and dropped him to the ground, then stood up and walked out of the hall.
Three imperial physicians stood by the door, their heads bowed. The strong smell of blood trembled in their bodies. "Your Majesty, we greet you."
Pei Chengjue lowered his eyes, "Go in and treat him properly, don't let my cousin die."
"Especially those eyes. You need to see clearly in the future."
He lowered his arms, gathered his sleeves, and walked out of the palace, blood still dripping from his palms. Xue Zhang followed him worriedly, "Your Majesty needs to call the imperial physician..."
Pei Chengjue glanced sideways, his eyes cold and sharp as a knife, ready to shave off a layer of Xue Zhang's skin. Xue Zhang lowered his head in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
Pei Chengjue walked alone, the corners of his robe rustled in the cold wind, his whole body was cold, and there was no lantern to illuminate the way ahead.
He was careless and aimless, going wherever he wanted.
As he passed by, the guards and palace servants initially thought they had encountered a ghost, but when they saw that it was him, they fell to the ground in fear and respectfully saw him off.
Unconsciously, he walked a long way and subconsciously stopped at a place. He saw the magnificent palace in front of him with bright lights.
It turned out to be Taiji Palace.
He turned and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the alarmed voice of the guard commander from the right, "This subordinate greets His Majesty!"
He slowly turned around. The commander lowered his head, not knowing what he looked like. He simply replied, "Noble Concubine Hui asked me to tell Your Majesty to send Nanny Wang back."
Pei Chengjue twitched his thin lips and let out a cold smile, "Tell Concubine Hui that there has never been any Nanny Wang in the palace."
"Yes." The commander did not stand up and continued, "It is freezing cold, and Concubine Hui has insisted on waiting at the palace gate. She has been waiting for a long time. Your subordinates have tried to persuade her but failed. Your Majesty, please punish her."
Pei Chengjue's palms suddenly clenched, and blood flowed again. He turned around and walked towards the gate of Taiji Palace.
The commander stood up and followed. When he raised his head, he was horrified to find that His Majesty's robe was splattered with blood. He quickly lowered his head.
The Taiji Palace was right in front of him. Pei Chengjue raised his eyes and saw Qiao Tang at the palace gate. She was wearing clothes, her cheeks were flushed, and her nose was also red, probably because of the cold, but even so she still refused to go in.
She is waiting...
Pei Chengjue's eyes flashed and he walked over slowly. Seeing this, the guards and palace servants saluted one after another, but he only looked at Qiao Tang who lowered his head.
Qiao Tang was surprised to hear Pei Chengjue had returned. Before even looking up, he excitedly said, "Your Majesty, has Nanny Wang been sent back? Nanny Wang..."
The moment he looked up and saw Pei Chengjue, it was too late to retract his gaze. He saw that Pei Chengjue was covered in blood, with blood spots on his cheeks, eyebrows and eyes. Hearing the voice, the corners of his lips drooped and his eyes became fierce.
Qiao Tang's heart skipped a beat, and panicked thoughts raced through his mind. Where did the blood come from? Was it Pei Chengjue's? How did he get hurt?
She wanted to rush over and ask. Huo Disi and Pei Chengjue must have known about her and Wei Qingyan's affair. He looked furious. What would he do to her? Would he lock her up in the palace and torture her like he had before, feeding her alcohol?
Qiao Tang's lips trembled slightly, his face was as pale as gold paper, his teeth were chattering, and he couldn't make a sound. Seeing Pei Chengjue walking towards him, he was so scared that he stepped back, his body pressed tightly against the palace door.
"I'm sorry to disappoint Concubine Hui. It's not Nanny Wang who has returned."
Pei Chengjue glanced at her coldly, then walked past her and walked into the room. She was stunned for a moment. Pei Chengjue seemed not to want to pay attention to her.
Her fear dissipated a little and she hurried to follow. She had just stood there for too long and could not walk fast, so she could only walk slowly.
She had many questions she wanted to ask Pei Chengjue, but she was afraid of angering him. Pei Chengjue did not wait for her, but just walked forward at a brisk pace, and soon left her far behind.
The palace lanterns illuminated the corridor. She saw drops of blood falling on the ground in front of her and thought nervously, Pei Chengjue is indeed injured. Who in this palace could hurt Pei Chengjue?
She didn't care about being afraid anymore, quickened her pace to catch up, and reached out to grab Pei Chengjue's sleeve.
Pei Chengjue stopped for a moment, but did not look back or say a word.
Qiao Tang took a deep breath, and when his breathing became steady, he asked quietly, "What happened to your Majesty's hand? There's blood on your body, is there anything else you're injured?"
Pei Chengjue turned his head and lowered his gaze. Seeing the worry in her eyes, he suddenly pulled out his sleeve and turned around. The eyes that used to smile at her flashed with strong sarcasm, "This is not my blood, Concubine Hui, there is no need to pretend."
Qiao Tang only noticed the second half of the sentence, his eyes widening. If it wasn't Pei Chengjue's blood, whose could it be? Nanny Wang's, or Wei Qingyan's? What had Pei Chengjue done to them?
She was thinking too much and felt dizzy. She was standing and walking just now, and her body could not support herself anymore. She swayed in Pei Chengjue's sight.
Pei Chengjue stretched out his arms slightly and pursed his lips, "Noble Concubine Hui."
Qiao Tang tried his best to stand firm, but his mind was in a mess. He just wanted to find someone to lean on, so he grabbed his arm.
Qiao Tang's hands were cold, and Pei Chengjue's arms were also cold. Qiao Tang shivered involuntarily.
Pei Chengjue watched quietly, then sneered, "Noble Concubine Hui should have thought of this as well."
"This is all my cousin's blood."
Qiao Tang only felt a rumbling sound in her ears, and her blood froze. He really knew. She said anxiously, "Your Majesty, you cannot touch him!"
Pei Chengjue has always respected the Duke of Zhenguo, and Wei Qingyan is the son that the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife found, so he is highly valued by the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife. If Pei Chengjue touches Wei Qingyan because of her, what will happen to his blood relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo!
Qiao Tang grabbed Pei Chengjue's arm and tried to persuade him to release Wei Qingyan for the sake of the Duke of Zhenguo, completely forgetting her relationship with Wei Qingyan. What she said was like adding fuel to the fire.
Pei Chengjue's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were fierce, he threw her away with his arm, turned around and walked away. When she was about to catch up, he suddenly turned around and smiled coldly, "Noble Concubine Hui."
The voice paused, and the eyes turned sinister. "No, cousin."
"Since my cousin's wife and I are deeply in love, why did we divorce in the first place? It would have been better if we stayed in Jizhou, so as to avoid running into me, the evil man who wanted you to enter the palace."
He walked away, leaving Qiao Tang in shock. What cousin-in-law? When he came to his senses, his whole body stiffened, and cold wind filled his heart, making him numb and tingling.
She stood there stiffly for an unknown amount of time before two palace maids rushed over, took out some clothes to wrap her up, and carried her into the warm bedroom. They carefully fed her some hot tea, and only then did she regain consciousness.
After sitting on the chair outside for a while, her mind started working again, and she recalled the scene just now. She held the armrest tightly with one hand. She had deceived Pei Chengjue for so long, and was finally discovered by Pei Chengjue.
This is a crime of deceiving the emperor.
He even treated Wei Qingyan, who was related to him by blood, so he was so violent that he left her bloodstained. So how would he treat himself? How would he treat Nanny Wang?
Qiao Tang was so horrified that she didn't dare to think too much. She only felt that her life had been out of her control since she entered the palace, and now it was in Pei Chengjue's hands. If Pei Chengjue exerted a little force, she would be dead.
Qiao Tang was just thinking when he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Pei Chengjue coming in. He had changed his clothes and the wound on his palm had been cleaned but not bandaged, and blood was still oozing out.
Pei Chengjue stood in front of the long desk, very close to Qiao Tang, but he seemed not to see Qiao Tang. He glanced at the many books, picked out one, spread it out on the desk, and looked down at it.
Qiao Tang stared blankly, feeling a sense of absurdity. Why was he reading a book? With his extremely angry attitude just now, shouldn't he have told her to get out in disgust?
With a "plop" sound, a drop of blood fell on the book. Qiao Tang couldn't help but look at it. He slowly stood up and was about to go out when he heard a deep voice in his ear, "Where are you going?"
Qiao Tang bit her lip and whispered, "Your Majesty's hand is injured. We should call the imperial physician to take a look."
The room was silent for a moment. Pei Chengjue stretched out his injured palm and looked at her coldly, "Hasn't Concubine Hui ever bandaged her wound?"
Qiao Tang shook her head, understanding what he meant. She ordered the palace servants to prepare ointment and silk cloth and send them over. She approached Pei Chengjue, held his hand, and slowly bandaged his wound.
Finally, she let go of Pei Chengjue's hand. When she turned to leave, Pei Chengjue's voice rang out, "Noble Concubine Hui should go take a bath now."
"Sleep with me tonight."
Qiao Tang turned around suddenly, thinking he had misheard, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Pei Chengjue sat down on the armrest, his eyes locked on her, "Why, do you want to keep your virginity for your cousin?"
He suddenly remembered the words Qiao Tang had used to coax him, saying that it was for his health, and that it was too early for him to be a father. It was just that he didn't have him in his heart and didn't want him to go in!
Pei Chengjue's face turned cold, and there was no more mercy. His sinister gaze forced Qiao Tang to step back. Qiao Tang opened his mouth, but was afraid of the oppression from his whole body, so he said nothing and turned away.
After taking a shower, she came in wearing her pajamas. Pei Chengjue was still sitting on the chair. He glanced at her coldly and said, "Come here."
Qiao Tang walked over. In the past, Pei Chengjue would have embraced her and kissed her. But now, he just looked at her and said, "Noble Concubine Hui has been someone else's wife for three years. She should know what to do."
Qiao Tang closed her eyes tightly. Pei Chengjue was clearly taking revenge on her for lying to him so many times. She had no power to resist and could only do as he said.
She approached Pei Chengjue, stretched out her hands, and used trembling fingers to unbutton Pei Chengjue's collar. Pei Chengjue did not move, allowing her to take off his clothes, revealing his broad shoulders and collarbone.
Qiao Tang hesitated as her fingers paused. Pei Chengjue's eyes were like cold jade, piercing her so much that she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, buried her head, and her lips fell on her collarbone.
Pei Chengjue's upper body trembled violently, and in just a moment, he clamped Qiao Tang's chin with two fingers, forcing her to raise her head, his eyes cold and terrifying.
"Where did Concubine Hui kiss?"
No matter how many times they kissed in the past and how intimate they were in bed, Qiao Tang never kissed him here, which meant that she had kissed Wei Qingyan's ex-husband in the same way.
She actually did it just like she did with her ex-husband!
