These thoughts came to Yu Tang's mind swarming, causing her head to ache. Her heart seemed to be torn apart and then rolled into a ball, causing her to clutch her clothes and gasp softly.
The two maids that Qing Yuan brought over came over immediately upon hearing the noise. Seeing her eyes were open, they were delighted. One ran to report the news, while the other squatted beside the bed and asked Yu Tang softly, "You are awake! Can you speak? Do you want some water? The doctor has come to see you and said that you have chest tightness and shortness of breath. He prescribed medicine. Ah Ming went to get the medicine himself, and is now boiling the medicine for you outside with two servants."
Before she finished her words, Pei Yan, who had received the news, strode in.
"How is it?" he asked grimly.
The little maid quickly stepped aside.
Pei Yan sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand and took her pulse.
Yu Tang said nothing and just looked at Pei Yan quietly.
Only then did she realize that Pei Yan's jawline was very elegant, clean and neat, with a kind of quiet beauty.
Could such a wonderful Pei Yan be related to her death in her previous life?
Whenever Yu Tang thought about it, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
If it were Yu Tang from his previous life, even if he had a thousand twists and turns in his heart, he would probably have to endure it.
But she is Yu Tang, who has experienced life and death and lost favors.
So she asked Pei Yan: "Why did you ask Peng Shiyi to come and meet Old An? Do you want to be his close friend?"
Her voice was hoarse, revealing a hint of uneasiness.
Pei Yan's heart sank.
Yu Tang’s coma was actually related to Peng Shiyi.
Was there something going on that he didn't know about?
Pei Yan racked his brains but couldn't figure out what grudge there could be between Yu Tang and Peng Shiyi.
He said, "No, it's just that he was framed and disfigured, and I thought he was a pitiful man. All his ambitions were wasted, so I gave him some face."
Yu Tang suddenly understood.
Pei Yan seemed to be full of ambitions, but because of Old Lady Pei's will, he was left at home to manage the family business, and his career path was cut short.
If you think about it carefully, the two people's situations are somewhat similar.
Yu Tang couldn't help but hold his breath and asked carefully: "Third Master, are you sympathizing with him?"
"What else do you think it is?" Pei Yan glared at her and said, "Peng Shiyi is also an ambitious, snobbish and cold-hearted person. I have seen many people like him. Why would you want to be friends with him?"
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
Her expression changes so obviously, her smile is so brilliant, even if Pei Yan wants to ignore it, he can't. He said: "What about you? How do you know Peng Shiyi? What did he do to you?" At this point, he suddenly thought of Li Duan, and said, "Could it be that he also got involved in the Li family's affairs?"
Yu Tang was stunned.
She thought Pei Yan was really amazing.
Although Wei Xiaoshan's death in this life had no direct relationship with Peng Shiyi, and it was all Li Duan's fault, in the previous life, the Li family and the Peng family colluded, and Li Duan and Peng Shiyi...
She always suspected that her death in her previous life was related to the words she heard before she died.
Sadly, she was so excited when she saw Li Duan appear in front of her that she didn't understand what they were arguing about.
Yu Tang was silent for a moment.
She didn't know how to tell Pei Yan.
Pei Yan was a good man who had helped her a lot before, so she shouldn't have lied to him. Moreover, Pei Yan was now fighting for the interests of the Peng and Song families for the common affairs of the clan. If her words affected his judgment and caused the Pei family to suffer losses, she would not be able to compensate Pei Yan even if she went to the eighteenth level of hell.
She had no choice but to look at Pei Yan with innocent eyes, hoping that Pei Yan could make a big deal out of a small matter, misunderstand that this was her private matter, and let it go.
Pei Yan is not so easy to fool.
The little girl's eyes were really beautiful, with clear black and white, like stars in a summer night, but he would not let it go unless she explained the matter clearly.
The two of us stared at each other, and for a moment the room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yu Tang has something on his mind, how can he compete with Pei Yan who is so righteous?
In just one cup of tea, she was defeated.
She was immediately extremely anxious.
What should I do?
Pei Yan secretly sighed.
If the little girl didn't say anything, there would be nothing he could do.
We can't just keep on being stuck like this.
There are a lot of people waiting for him in the Dharma Hall!
He was not worried about offending those people, but he was afraid that they would find out what he was doing and drag the little girl into it for no reason, push her to the front of the stage, and let her be noticed by everyone.
As for why he didn't want others to know about Yu Tang, he didn't realize it, so naturally he didn't think about it carefully.
It is better not to simply attribute this emotion to girls from noble families and not to show it in public.
Pei Yan waited at his ease, just waiting for Yu Tang to speak.
Yu Tang was so anxious that he was about to cheat... The corner of his eye inadvertently swept across the picture of Sakyamuni hanging on the wall of the meditation room.
An idea suddenly occurred to her.
This is a temple, and she stayed in the temple for several days. She could definitely say that someone had spoken to her in a dream!
But who should she tell her to tell her in her dream?
Lu Xin? When he was alive, I had ruined his good deeds. Even if he wanted to send a dream, he would not send it to me! Wei Xiaoshan? Men and women should not touch each other. Wei Xiaoshan's parents and brothers are all alive, why would he send a dream to her? If Pei Yan mistakenly thought that I and Wei Xiaoshan had some feelings for each other, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
This doesn't work either!
Yu Tang's forehead was covered with sweat.
Forget it. Instead of making up nonsense and dragging others into it, it’s better to just tell the simplest story.
Just say that you live in a temple and have had nightmares for several nights in a row!
Yu Tang felt relieved.
Then I became a little worried.
This is a temple, and all the gods and Buddhas are watching here. She is a person who has been reborn and has received the grace of the Bodhisattva. If she tells a lie, will the Bodhisattva punish her?
It would be fine if it was just her that was punished, but would it also punish her parents and Pei Yan?
Thinking of this, a bit of awe appeared in her eyes!
Pei Yan looked at this with a shudder in his heart.
It looks like something really happened!
The little girl looked as if she didn't dare to say anything.
There was a chill on his face that he himself was not even aware of.
When Yu Tang saw it, he felt very uncomfortable.
As expected, I made Pei Yan unhappy.
Well...she just said it!
At worst, the Bodhisattva could blame all these sins on her.
She simply said nothing. She put her hands together and bowed several times to the portrait of Sakyamuni hanging on the wall. She closed her eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Bodhisattva, all the sins are my fault. If you are angry, just blame me. I am willing to bear any karma. I only ask you not to blame others."
Pei Yan had sharp ears and eyes, so he could hear clearly.
This is something that requires the help of Bodhisattvas.
He curled his lips slightly, and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks to Yu Tang, but seeing Yu Tang bowed to the portrait again with particular piety after he finished speaking, the words on his lips suddenly became: "Alright! If you are really afraid of being blamed by the Bodhisattva, you can prepare some money later and ask the monks in the temple to perform a ritual for you. The Bodhisattva is kind by nature, and he likes to accept money. After he accepts the money, he will generally help you solve any sins."
That's what I said!
Yu Tang couldn't help but glare at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan, however, let out a long breath.
The little girl can still act like a spoiled child and still get angry, which makes people feel relieved. She is not lying on the soft chair like before, nor is she praying tremblingly like before, which makes people worry and distressed.
He smiled and said, "Looks like you can tell me now."
The tone was light, but Yu Tang heard a hint of ridicule in it.
As if he was teasing her.
She smiled.
Only then did I completely let go of the uneasiness in my heart.
Pei Yan was so nice. No matter how shocking she was, he never avoided her. He was willing to listen to her explanation and tried his best to believe her.
It was so in the past and it is so now!
At this moment, she made up her mind never to misunderstand Pei Yan again. She should not look at what he said, but look at what he did. She should look beyond the superficial things and see his inner kindness and beauty.
Yu Tang took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I'm just afraid that you won't believe me after you know it."
There is really a story!
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and listened carefully.
Yu Tang told Pei Yan everything that happened in his previous life without knowing the beginning or the end: "... I don't know why I lived in Ku'an Temple and saw Li Duan and Peng Shiyi quarreling. Of course, I didn't know he was Peng Shiyi at that time, but I was impressed by the scar on his face. You also know what Li Duan did to our family. I looked at the scar on Peng Shiyi's face and felt that he must not be a good person. Li Duan was with such a person, maybe he wanted to harm our Yu family. I quietly approached and hid under the flower tree next to them. I only heard Peng Shiyi say to Li Duan: You are blinded by lust. This woman must be eliminated, otherwise how can I explain to Gu Chaoyang? This is a token of loyalty!
Li Duan looked unhappy and said: If you don't tell her, no one will know that she is still alive.
Peng Shiyi said: There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If Gu Chaoyang knew that we had deceived him, would you bear the consequences alone? Besides, can you afford it alone?
Li Duan said: I will take full responsibility!
Peng Shiyi laughed disdainfully: If you can't still coax your wife, do you think you can talk to Gu Chaoyang? You'd better stop flattering yourself!
After saying that, he pushed Li Duan away and went to find me.
I don't know why, but I took out a pair of shiny scissors from my pocket. I thought, why not just hide here and wait until Li Duan is alone, and then I can kill him."
She felt very tired as she said out loud, word for word, all the things that Yu Tang had buried deep in her heart.
She paused for a moment.
Pei Yan not only did not urge her, but he stood up and poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, whispering to comfort her: "That was a dream!"
That's not a dream!
That was something she had experienced firsthand!
Yu Tang's eyes suddenly became moist.
She lowered her head and sorted herself out.
The heat from the teacup in her hand slowly warmed her fingertips.
It also slowly warmed her stiff brain.
Her mind slowly started to work, and she had an idea. Why didn't she take this opportunity to add a sentence or two to let Pei Yan know that the second prince would be the one to take the throne in the future?
