Chapter 245 Half Belief



Yu Tang said half-truthfully, "I seemed to have experienced a lot of things in my dream, but after waking up, the thing I remember most clearly was that Peng Shiyi wanted to kill me. It seems that because the Li family knew that the Pei family bought land in Jiangxi, they followed the Peng family's path and also bought land in Jiangxi. The man who was the inspector of the Peng family in Jiangxi eventually became the Minister of Personnel because the second prince became the emperor, and the Peng family became very powerful. Li Duan also became an official."

Pei Yan's expression changed drastically. He stood up and opened the window. He looked around and told Qing Yuan, who was guarding outside, and Ah Ming, who was decocting medicine under the eaves, to guard the door. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed again and whispered, "You said, in your dream, the second prince ascended the throne and became the emperor?"

Yu Tang nodded and said nervously, "Yes, is there something wrong?"

That's so wrong!

There are undercurrents in the court right now, and it largely depends on which prince will be appointed as the crown prince.

The second prince still has no male heir.

Only those who want to take advantage of the situation would want to push the third prince forward to win the credit of following the dragon for themselves or their family.

The little girl wouldn't lie to him.

The matter of Kelichu... involves too many aspects.

Is it possible that the little girl heard someone say that it is natural for the court to appoint the eldest son as the heir apparent, and confused dreams with reality, so she said this?

Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang's blank eyes and felt sorry for her. He comforted her with a sentence "Nothing is wrong" and then asked her rationally, "What else did you dream about?"

Yu Tang didn't dare to say more.

Because of her rebirth, many things around her are different from her previous life. Although she punished Li Duan, she also implicated Wei Xiaoshan.

"These are roughly the two things I can remember," she said in a depressed mood. "Maybe I dreamed about some other things, but these are the only two things I can remember right now."

Pei Yan asked her: "Then do you know that the Second Prince only has two daughters now?"

Of course Yu Tang in his previous life knew this.

Not only did she know that, she also knew that not long after the second prince was made the crown prince, he gave birth to a son, for which the current emperor even issued a general amnesty.

But this has not happened yet, so there is no way to prove that what she said is true.

Moreover, she had no idea what the second prince's offspring were like at this time in her previous life.

"I don't know." She shook her head and said, "In my impression, it seems that the emperor was ill, and the second prince took care of him wholeheartedly, while the third prince was making trouble everywhere. Many people thought that the third prince should be made the crown prince, so the emperor got angry and made the second prince the crown prince."

The current emperor is in very good health. Last autumn, he married nine women in succession and conferred titles on the inner palace.

How could the emperor be sick? The Third Prince was a smart man. Even if the emperor was sick, how could he not take care of him and show everyone how filial he was, but instead jump up and down to compete for the throne? Even if the Third Prince couldn't hold back, the ministers around him would never let him do such a stupid thing!

Pei Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then do you still remember how you knew that the Second Prince ascended the throne and became the Emperor?"

Of course, it was because he wanted to announce to the world that the new era name was being changed.

But Yu Tang couldn't say that.

She carefully recalled the events of her past life, and finally found a reason that made sense: "It was also because of the Peng family. In my dream, some of the official families in Jiangnan supported the second prince, and some supported the third prince. But after the second prince ascended the throne, he disliked neither those who had supported him nor those who had supported the third prince. He liked those who remained neutral. The senior official of the Peng family who was in charge of Jiangxi was not supported by anyone. After the second prince ascended the throne, he liked him especially. He also made him a minister, and the Peng family became the most prominent family in Fujian.

In the dream, Peng Shiyi once arrogantly said that even if the truth came out, with his uncle there, someone would naturally cover it for him..."

Pei Yan was shocked.

This is not something a little girl can know.

The second prince was not sure if he was cowardly by nature or if he was afraid of being suspected by the powerful emperor. He had never liked to associate with the ministers in the court, especially those from the academy. Not only did he dislike them, he also disliked the people around him to associate with the academy.

Previously, his mentor, Master Zhang, thought that the Second Prince did not want to get involved in factional disputes and be used as a pawn. Later, he discovered that the Second Prince truly believed that the current chaos in the court was caused by these academic societies.

He had discussed this matter with Lord Zhang. He felt that if the Second Prince ascended the throne, the first thing he would do would be to suppress these academic societies...

What Yu Tang said just fits the Second Prince's temperament perfectly.

Not to mention that she was just a girl from an ordinary family, even a well-educated scholar like Yu Wen could not know such a secret, not to mention that Yu Tang would accidentally hear it somewhere.

Pei Yan now believes that Yu Tang really had such an incredible dream!

Thinking that Yu Tang didn't have any problems with his brain, and wasn't talking nonsense, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a huge stone had fallen from his chest.

It's normal to dream about absurd and weird things.

He smiled and said, "You'd better not talk about the royal family in the future. Since it's just a dream, it will be gone when you wake up. You don't have to take it too seriously, and don't tell anyone else, so as not to worry your family."

In fact, what he feared most was that someone with ulterior motives would hear her words and think that she had the ability to predict the future, and that she would be coveted, used, and harmed.

Yu Tang nodded.

Of course she wouldn't tell anyone else such an important thing.

The information she revealed was very important. No one would believe her immediately. Pei Yan did not treat her like a lunatic, which showed that he trusted her very much. It was good enough for him to do so.

More haste, less speed.

As long as her rebirth does not affect other things, Pei Yan will believe the information she revealed sooner or later.

With Pei Yan's intelligence and talent, the Pei family was able to survive safely in his previous life, and he can definitely avoid it in this life. She just doesn't want Pei Yan to have a hard time in the future.

That's enough.

Yu Tang smiled sheepishly and said, "I was too timid, so I was scared by Peng Shiyi."

Pei Yan was relieved to see that she had calmed down and seemed to have regained her former liveliness. He smiled and said, "Then you should have a good rest. Your mother was frightened when you were unconscious. My second sister-in-law accompanied her to find a master to perform a ritual for you. Take the medicine and rest for a while. Your mother should be back soon."

He didn't dare tell her that Chen had fainted, for fear that she would get worried and hurt herself.

Only then did Yu Tang think of his mother.

She blushed with shame and replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Pei Yan was used to her angry and ferocious side, so he was surprised to see her being so well-behaved and docile all of a sudden, and looked at her a few more times.

Black and shiny hair, fair and rosy skin, bright and clear eyes, rosy and soft lips...she is getting more and more beautiful!

Like the buds of flowers in March, they not only exude fragrance, but also proudly bloom with gorgeous petals.

Pei Yan's heart beat a few more times.

His ears suddenly felt hot, and he coughed twice in embarrassment, then stood up quickly and said, "Then you take a rest first, I'll go to the Dharma Hall to take a look. I've been here for almost an hour, and I don't know what's going on over there. Master Peng also planned to discuss the canal transportation with me during lunch. We have too little food here, so I plan to sell salt, and it would be best if I could use the Wu family's fleet. Master Peng also had the same idea..."

Is Pei Yan explaining to her why he has to leave now?

But he is the patriarch of the Pei Mansion and can do whatever he wants. Is there any need to explain to her?

Yu Tang was very confused, but also felt a secret joy.

Could it be that because they shared a secret, Pei Yan treated her as his own?

She pondered in her mind.

Suddenly I felt that it was good to be able to do this.

She hurriedly said, "Then please go over quickly! I have Miss Qingyuan, Ah Ming, and the servant you sent here. It's safe."

Pei Yan thought that the most unsafe person was Peng Shiyi. He had to get rid of this man quickly, otherwise no matter how many people he sent to guard the girl, she would still be scared.

"Then I'll leave first!" Pei Yan was a little anxious, and said something like "Be careful, and ask someone to tell me if anything happens" to Yu Tang, and then left.

Yu Tang's whole body relaxed and he collapsed on the somewhat hard Luohan bed.

Qing Yuan walked in quietly, called "Miss Yu" in a gentle voice, and asked her if she had any instructions.

How can Yu Tang make good use of Pei Yan's maid?

She also had trouble sleeping in the quiet rooms that the masters used for meditation and practice.

She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I feel much better now and would like to go back to my own place to rest. Could you please ask Miss Qingyuan to help me find out where my mother is and give her a message?"

When Pei Yan left, he had sent someone to see if Chen had woken up. There was no response yet, so Qing Yuan certainly didn't dare to tell Yu Tang. She smiled and agreed, and said to Yu Tang in a negotiating tone: "I'll send someone to find Mrs. Yu. But Ah Ming's medicine will be ready soon. Do you want to drink the medicine before returning to your own residence?"

Yu Tang thought this was a good arrangement, so he nodded and thanked Qing Yuan.

Qing Yuan heard this and said politely, "The Yu family and the Pei family are close friends. Miss Yu, please don't be polite to us. Just call me by my name. It's really embarrassing for me to call you girl all the time. If the old An family hears it, they will say that we are not following the rules."

After living a new life, Yu Tang no longer likes to be polite with others. Since Qing Yuan said so, she just followed suit and started calling Qing Yuan by his name.

Qing Yuan felt relieved.

She had served the Third Master for such a long time, and had never seen him be so patient with any girl. Judging from her intelligence and cleverness in passing numerous tests to become Pei Yan's personal maid, this Miss Yu must be a particularly important person in the Third Master's mind, so she had better respect her.

Yu Tang drank the medicine and thanked Ah Ming. Qing Yuan also got news about Chen.

It was said that Chen had woken up and was so happy to know that Yu Tang was safe and sound. She slipped on her shoes and was about to come over, but Second Madam persuaded her not to come because "Miss Yu would be worried seeing you like this". She was now washing up again, and Second Madam would come over with Madam Yu soon.
