Since the Xiyuan envoys were temporarily staying in Xidi City, all military and defense matters had to be handled with extra caution.
It has become a habit for Pei Yanli to go out early and come back late every day.
As soon as the morning light rose, he arrived at the garrison in West City to handle official business.
Suddenly, I heard from my subordinates that General Xiao was here to see me.
His first reaction was: Could something have happened to the Xiyuan envoy?
"Please come in."
He put aside the work in his hands, stood up to greet them, and saw Xiao Yunyu walking in with a girl.
Looking closely, it turned out to be the drunk girl that day?
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Xiao Yunyu spoke, "I came here today to ask Master Pei for a favor. I can't bring my younger sister with me this time, so I'd like to ask Master Pei to look after her."
Xiao Yunya looked at the cold-looking official in front of him with confusion: "Brother, why do I feel that he looks familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"
Xiao Yunyu said slowly, "You were drunk that day. Fortunately, Lord Pei was watching over you. Otherwise, there would be rumors in the city that a woman jumped off the city wall for her lover..."
"Brother!" Xiao Yunya stamped her feet in anger, her face flushed with embarrassment. "I wouldn't do such a stupid thing!"
Xiao Yunyu chuckled and added, "Master Pei, please keep a close eye on her. If she gets angry, don't bother with her. Just let her be. If she really doesn't listen, lock her up."
Xiao Yunya looked at her elder brother in disbelief. Is this something a real brother could say?
Didn't he ask the man in front of him to protect her? Why did it sound like he was guarding her?
Hearing this, Pei Yanli couldn't help but take a few more glances at the little girl who was quietly following Xiao Yunyu.
The new emperor is the emperor's youngest prince. He is young and has a stunning appearance.
Being his concubine should be something that many girls would dream of, but she actually chose to stay away from her hometown and stay in the northwest in order to avoid entering the palace as a concubine?
Oh, I remember now, this girl has someone she likes.
Pei Yanli quickly went through the possible candidates in his mind based on Xiao Yunya's description of her lover that day, and finally guessed that it should be Qi Heng, the young master of the Qi family.
Pei Yanli couldn't help but recall the girl's unreasonable behavior that night, and he wanted to refuse.
However, General Xiao has done great favors for the people of Northwest China.
He came in person, and Pei Yanli couldn't refuse.
"General Xiao, you are too kind. Please rest assured, Pei will do his best to protect her."
Xiao Yunyu clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you very much."
Xiao Yunya bit her lip, her face full of unhappiness.
Although she was drunk that night and might not remember the details, she remembered that this person was very cruel to her!
"Brother, I want to go back to Beijing with you."
"You can go back, but you have to be prepared to enter the palace." Xiao Yunyu frowned and looked at her.
When Xiao Yunya heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't want to enter the palace."
"Then just stay here quietly."
Hearing her elder brother's resolute tone, Xiao Yunya's eyes turned slightly red.
It was her first time going on a long trip. It was fine with her brother and sisters-in-law accompanying her before, but now there was no one to accompany her...
Pei Yanli looked at the little girl who seemed to be about to cry again, and suddenly felt a headache about the future.
——————
The Xiao Mansion's Waterside Pavilion Residence, when I left the pond full of lotus fragrance, now only withered lotus leaves remain.
The two best friends have been back in Beijing for two days and have heard some special news.
The princess's trip to northern Jiangsu uncovered many officials who profited from the national crisis. Now these people are being detained in the Dali Temple for investigation.
The princess became famous in the capital, and her abilities were praised to the skies.
Wen Luoxin solved the plague problem during her trip to northern Jiangsu, and her reputation as a genius doctor was revived. She even temporarily lived in the princess's mansion with her son.
When the two best friends heard the news, they felt surprised but also took it for granted.
Regardless of the heroine's character, her miraculous medical skills are indeed one of the best in this era, not to mention that she is the heroine who has been reborn.
Li Sisi sat on the wooden couch in the study of Shuixieju, drinking fresh fruit tea while sighing: "Wen Luoxin is worthy of being the heroine. She made a comeback after a trip to Subei. Fortunately, the princess is on our side, otherwise, with her current strength, she would be a bit difficult to deal with."
Li Nian looked at the withered lotus leaves outside the window and sighed softly, "Did the system tell you that it was unbound?"
Li Sisi curled her lips and said, "Did it tell you too? It would take us a lifetime to max out all those points, right?"
"Aren't you good at science? Do some calculations and make a plan." Li Nian looked at her.
Li Sisi said, "Are you serious? I think it's fine not to unbind from the system. We can still transmit messages over long distances."
"I went to the princess's mansion today." Li Nian tilted his head to look at the broken lotus leaves, his voice solemn, "I feel that the princess's attitude towards Wen Luoxin has changed a lot. She seems to have some kind of magical power that always makes people around her feel good about her."
"I don't think so," Li Sisi said, "Look, Qi He hates her, and the male lead and the supporting actor also hate her."
"Maybe it's because of lack of opportunity?" Li Nian said uncertainly.
The system suddenly spoke, using its ability to be heard by both of them.
[Because she's the heroine, she's protected by the rules of this world. As long as the two of you fill up the points pool, I can change the rules and eliminate the heroine's halo.]
The best friends looked at each other and their eyes lit up.
Li Nian asked: [After removing the heroine's halo, will her life or death no longer affect the world?]
[Yes, without the halo of the heroine, she is just an ordinary person in this world, and life or death doesn't matter.]
Li Nian hurriedly said, "Sisi, you make your plan, and I'll make mine. Let's try to fill up the points pool as soon as possible."
