157 If anything goes wrong, I will bring my head to you!
Xiao Tingyun still couldn't return home. Pei Yuning guarded her all night and sent several times more people to guard her. When he left, he only left a message to Qing Er and the others, "If anything goes wrong again this time, you will be beheaded!"
Qing Er gritted his teeth, his whole body solemn, "Yes!"
Xiao Huanshan returned home early today. Song Wanrou was surprised, "What happened today?"
Xiao Huanshan was also puzzled, "Your Majesty has adjourned the court today."
"Strike a court? This is the first time."
Song Wanrou sat next to her husband and poured him a cup of tea. "Do you know the reason?"
Xiao Huanshan shook his head and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "Eunuch Zhang only said that His Majesty was not feeling well and would not attend court today."
Song Wanrou thought for a while and felt that this reason was perfunctory. "What do you think?"
"Who knows what His Majesty is thinking, but I heard from Hetian that His Majesty left the palace last night."
Song Wanrou stood up suddenly, "Leave the palace!?"
Xiao Huanshan was confused, "What?"
When Song Wanrou saw his expression, she knew that he didn't understand, and said angrily, "Who are you talking about outside the palace?"
Xiao Huanshan was stunned, "Are you talking about Ayun?"
"Isn't it a coincidence?"
Song Wanrou doesn't think so. There are not so many coincidences in the world!
When Ayun left, he was in a mixed mood, and it was obvious that he was trapped in love.
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came in hurriedly to report, "Second Master and Second Madam, the Marquis has ordered us to meet the distinguished guest in the main hall!"
"Who's coming?" Xiao Huanshan frowned. He and his wife needed to go together.
The servant wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Your Majesty is here."
Song Wanrou and Xiao Huanshan looked at each other. It seemed that something big had really happened, and it was related to Ayun.
In the main hall, Xiao Qu looked at the person sitting at the top, "I say, why are you here?"
Zhang Quanfu's eyelids jumped. This old guy was really bold. He dared to speak to His Majesty like this.
He couldn't help coughing and reminded, "My Lord, you..."
"Hey, hey, come on, stop talking about that nonsense. It gives me a headache. I'm asking about him!"
Xiao Qu didn't give him any face at all and glanced at Pei Yuning.
To say such things is to show a complete lack of reverence.
Pei Yuning's face was calm, "You will know soon."
Xiao Qu sneered, "Hey, look at you, you came to my house instead of attending court in the morning, what's the matter? Did someone bully you again? No one cares about you now."
Hearing this, Pei Yuning's eyes wavered for a moment, then returned to calm after a while.
After Xiao Huanshan and his wife finally arrived and confessed their crimes, Pei Yuning told them the purpose of his visit.
"Ayun is injured and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in the next few days."
Song Wanrou was already feeling uneasy. When she heard this, her composure instantly disappeared. She exclaimed, "Ayun is injured! Is it serious?"
Xiao Qu's face froze, "How did you know?"
Although he is His Majesty, Ayun is an unmarried girl. How could he meet her in private without considering Ayun's reputation? ?
Xiao Qu didn't want to think of him as that kind of person, but if he wasn't, why would he suddenly say such things?
Pei Yuning understood what he meant and said calmly, "I sent people to guard her there before. Yesterday, a group of men in black came. It was my people who were incompetent and Ayun was injured by a knife."
"But it's okay. I have already sent more people to ensure that nothing happens to her again."
Xiao Huanshan and his wife were still worried about their daughter. They wanted to ask a few more questions but were afraid of overstepping their bounds. Song Wanrou couldn't stand it anymore and asked someone to harness the carriage. She wanted to go to the farm to see her daughter right away.
"Mrs. Xiao." Pei Yuning said, "Ayun needs to rest now. I hope you won't disturb her for the time being."
What does this mean?
Song Wanrou was so angry that she almost laughed, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Are you going to stop me from seeing my own daughter?"
Xiao Huanshan frowned, "Madam, please be careful with your words!"
"Don't get me wrong, Madam Xiao. I'm not trying to stop you. She just doesn't want you to worry about her, and I don't want to see her sad." Pei Yuning raised his eyelids slightly, and the tenderness in his eyes was only because of Xiao Tingyun.
Song Wanrou was a little dazed, but she couldn't say anything unpleasant.
She understood that if Ayun was injured, his self-blame would only become deeper.
Xiao Huanshan stopped his wife and said, "Forget it. Let her come back when she feels better in a few days. It's not easy to go to Hetian's place."
Song Wanrou glared at him. Which was more important, her daughter or the party? !
Xiao Huanshan was helpless, because naturally the banquet that his daughter valued was more important.
"I can choose not to look for Ayun, but..." Song Wanrou couldn't help but remind him, "We have thought about the matter between Your Majesty and Ayun for a long time. We all know that she has feelings for you. Your Majesty may not know her physical condition. She is not suitable to stay in the palace. She..."
Song Wanrou didn't want to say those words that were so heartbreaking to her, but that was the fact.
It was difficult for Ayun to have children. If she really became the queen, people all over the world would attack her for this.
In fact, she also wanted to let Ayun return to Ruzhou after a while.
There, she would probably be happier and safer.
But the words that came out of his mouth were not that harsh.
"I know!" Pei Yuning interrupted her. He had always known it.
"I know her health very well. Madam Xiao, don't worry. If I marry her, it will only be because of her, not for anything else."
Xiao Qu couldn't listen any longer, and glared at her and cursed, "Why are you marrying me?! You have a lot of troubles of your own, take care of them first, and you're still thinking about good things?"
Pei Yuning said nothing.
"Father." Xiao Huanshan helplessly reminded his family again that the person in front of him was His Majesty.
How could Xiao Qu care about his son Xiao Huanshan? He glared at him with his bear eyes and scolded him, "Why are you yelling? I'm telling the truth, and he knows it in his heart. Otherwise, do you think you can keep your precious daughter?"
Xiao Huanshan remained silent after being scolded. He didn't know what trouble His Majesty had, but he knew that if His Majesty wanted to be alone, no one could stop him.
All under heaven belongs to the king. Who can resist the imperial edict?
Song Wanrou also sighed, but now she was somewhat relieved that he really cared about his daughter.
"I know the situation is very serious right now. I can't force her, nor do I want to force her, but I hope the Xiao family won't do anything that makes me unhappy."
Xiao Qu sneered, "What makes you unhappy? You just think we will find someone to marry Ah Yun. You don't have to threaten us here. If Ah Yun really likes someone else, we should really thank God."
To Pei Yuning, such heart-wrenching words were simply treasonous!
"How dare you!" Pei Yuning's face turned cold for a rare moment!
The emperor's wrath was not something that ordinary people could bear. Xiao Huanshan and Song Wanrou immediately knelt down and apologized.
"Don't kneel!" Pei Yuning closed his eyes, and the depression in his heart grew deeper.
Xiao Huanshan and Song Wanrou looked at each other.
Pei Yuning's mind flashed with the image of her bloodstained shoulder, and then she turned into a gorgeous red dress and married someone else. The teacup in Pei Yuning's hand was instantly crushed, and bright red blood seeped out between her fingers.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Quanfu was shocked.
"Quickly call the imperial physician!" Xiao Huanshan shouted. His Majesty's injuries were serious and he might even think that someone was trying to murder him.
Then the entire Xiao family cannot avoid it.
My father, this really makes me angry. I have never seen His Majesty show his emotions so clearly.
