Chapter 168 Changes

When Chen Shiyi applied the medicine and wrapped it with a circle of white cloth, Pei Luoshu's ears turned red.

He looked at her quietly, his beautiful eyes focused on what was happening before him, his eyelashes clearly curled up, his skin was as white as jade, his nose was small, and the corners of his lips were bright red.

She has changed a lot over the years.

She is getting more and more beautiful and more attractive.

She used to be lively and agile, but now she is calm and quiet.

I also don't know how she has been living during these years when we were separated.

Chen Shiyi raised her eyes slightly and saw Pei Luoshu's eyes looking at her deeply, motionless.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Pei Luo smiled faintly, like the white snow in spring.

"I'll quit my job and stay with you, okay?"

Chen Shiyi was stunned for a moment, tied the white cloth, and let his sleeves down.

"Aren't you going to be transferred to Kyoto? How long will it take? If you are transferred to Kyoto, I will move to Kyoto, so you don't have to run back and forth. You told me that you want to buy a house in Kyoto, and I still have the money to buy a house. If you don't mind, we can live together and never separate in the future..."

When Pei Luoshu heard this, his heart was filled with sweetness. He hugged Chen Shiyi with both arms, tighter and tighter.

"Okay, I don't want to be separated from you."

Chen Shiyi patted him.

"Don't use too much force, or the wound will bleed again."

"It's okay, I'm not hurt."

"Then you were still crying out in pain just now."

“It doesn’t hurt now.”

Pei Luoshu suddenly let go, looked closely at the dense beads of sweat on Chen Shiyi's forehead, and asked solemnly.

"Bai Ling said you had an injury on your back. I was too impatient just now. Did I hurt you? Let me take a look."

Chen Shiyi burst out laughing.

"My injury has healed and it doesn't hurt anymore. If you want to see it, can I wait until you return to Kyoto?"

Pei Luoshu's eyes were sparkling with stars, but there was also a hint of hesitation. Seeing the affirmative smile on the face of the person he loved, he was filled with joy.

He held her fair face in his hands and slowly approached her.

Chen Shiyi put his arms around his waist and closed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, there was an inopportune knock on the door.

"Young Master..."

Pei Luoshu was secretly resentful in his heart, Fufeng, you'd better be in trouble!

He stood up, opened the door, and asked with a very bad look on his face.

"What are you doing?"

"Sir, we should leave now. Otherwise, we will miss the official documents from the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow. If we are found to have left the territory, I am afraid we will be beheaded."

Pei Luoshu fell silent, his hand tightly grasping the bolt of the door.

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi hurried over to his side.

"A Luo, go quickly. A day or two won't make a difference. I'll be waiting for you in Kyoto."

Pei Luoshu turned and looked at Chen Shiyi, his eyes filled with sorrow and brokenness.

Chen Shiyi didn't know what was wrong, but he always felt that he was very sad.

She took his hand, which Pei Luoshu held tightly. His ten fingers penetrated into the gaps between their fingers and intertwined with hers.

"I will resign from my post and stay here to take care of you."

Fu Feng was very anxious.

"Sir, you can't just resign from this position whenever you want. Let's go back as soon as possible."

Chen Shiyi didn't know why he suddenly wanted to resign.

"Why would you resign? You worked so hard for so many years to get the position. You traveled thousands of miles and your body was not fully recovered. Now you are injured again. I am very worried..."

She turned back, opened the closet, and took out a black robe from the depths of the closet.

"I got a cape earlier. It's light and thin, waterproof and cold-proof. Please take care of yourself on the road."

Pei Luoshu took it, his eyes dark and firm.

"Okay, wait for me in Kyoto."

After saying this, he went down the stairs with Fufeng and left without looking back.

At noon, Bailing told Chen Shiyi that the master had arrived.

Chen Shiyi quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Mr. Hu looked around the courtyard carefully.

"Well, that's good. Such a big manor is yours?"

Chen Shiyi poured tea for Mr. Hu.

"Of course."

"I heard about the Qinyun Building incident. It was such a big deal, but they didn't think of informing me of the news."

Chen Shiyi said apologetically.

"So many things have happened recently that I haven't had time to send you a message."

"I heard you were injured. Are you feeling better now?"

"It's much better now."

Mr. Hu was silent for a while, and seemed to have made an important decision.

"I have something to tell you."

It was rare for Chen Shiyi to see his grandfather being so cautious.

"Uncle, you tell me."

"There may be some changes regarding Pei Luo's transfer to Kyoto."

Chen Shiyi suddenly became a little anxious.

"What's changed?"

"The previous doctor of the Ministry of Justice has already taken up this position, and Pei Luoshu has been sent to Jiangzhou."

"How come?"

Chen Shiyi didn't understand.

"Pei Luoshu is a steady and reliable person. If it wasn't already set in stone, he wouldn't have told me that he would stay in Kyoto."

Mr. Hu nodded.

"Yes, it is a sure thing, but there are still people who are trying to interfere."

Chen Shiyi frowned.

"Who is targeting him?"

Mr. Hu looked at Chen Shiyi deeply, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Chen Shiyi understood instantly.

"It's Wen Zhiheng, right?"

"Um."

"At that time, the Fifth Prince also intervened. How could Wen Zhiheng do anything about it?"

"There are some things that a prince should be careful not to get involved in, especially the Ministry of Personnel. The transfer and appointment of officials is a matter of life and death. Wen Zhiheng is the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, and is the emperor's right-hand man. He previously worked in the Ministry of Revenue and had made great achievements. He holds real power. In the court, many people have to look at his face before speaking..."

It turned out that Pei Luoshu already knew that he could no longer come to Kyoto.

When he said that I should wait for him in Kyoto, he really was prepared to resign.

He never jokes with himself.

Chen Shiyi felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, and he couldn't breathe.

The weather was getting hotter, but Chen Shiyi was feeling depressed and didn't want to go out.

I just stayed in my room, not knowing what I was doing.

Bailing and Li Yunzhou were both discussing how to persuade Chen Shiyi.

"Let her take it easy first. She'll be fine once she figures it out."

Fu Da is right. So many things have happened within this month that no one can handle it.

About five or six days passed like this. Chen Shiyi walked out of the room, took off her skirt, put on a simple riding suit, and started riding a horse in the farm. She carried a bow and arrow on her back and practiced archery.

I get up before dawn every day to practice archery, and fall asleep as soon as I get tired.

Bailing counted on her fingers and found that she had not spoken for five days.

This went on for about half a month. One day, she put on simple clothes, carried a bow and arrow, put on a black cloak, tied her hair into a simple round bun, and led a horse to Fu Da.

"Come on, come out with me."

Without saying a word, Fu Da mounted his horse and quickly left Lingyu Villa with Chen Shiyi.

Everyone looked at the two people's backs, very puzzled.

"Where are you going, Boss?"
