"Since Madam has said so, I am relieved." Chen Zhizhou pulled her closer. "I cannot bear to see you get so close to other men."
The strong possessiveness made Gu Qing stunned for a moment. In her previous life, Chen Zhizhou never asked where she went. She thought she liked it this way, but now she felt that this kind of Chen Zhizhou was the best.
"I don't like it either. You get close to other women." Gu Qing suddenly looked up and leaned forward.
The two looked at each other, so close that Chen Zhizhou was slightly stunned. He directly hugged the person on his lap and asked: "Seriously?"
"Why should I lie? I'm different from other women. I want to be with one person for the rest of my life." Gu Qing put her arms around Chen Zhizhou's neck and spoke every word seriously.
She admitted that what she said was contrary to the current world, but after being reborn, her thoughts and ideas were different from her previous life.
"Okay! I promise you that I will never marry any other woman in my life."
Gu Qing had just thought of this and said it bluntly, but Chen Zhizhou agreed so readily that she felt complicated for a moment.
"You...you actually..." Gu Qing's eyes turned red.
Chen Zhizhou held her hand and said, "I know you are touched, but as a husband, heaven and earth can bear witness to what I have said. I will not lie to you."
"I believe you." Gu Qing buried her head in his chest, and his strong heartbeat hit her heart again and again.
After a long while, she finally calmed down and continued the previous topic: "My husband, do you have any good ideas to save Pei Shaoheng?
"Even if we save him today, he won't be able to survive in the capital since the Xu family is determined to kill him." Chen Zhizhou's tone was normal, but it made people feel cold.
Gu Qing understood this and said, "Since this is the case, it would be best to use a trick to change the situation."
The two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
"Madam, what you said makes sense."
The two of them hit it off immediately, but Gu Qing was silent for a moment before saying, "Although our plan is good, there is still one person who is indispensable in this matter."
"Pei Shaoheng?"
Gu Qing nodded: "If he doesn't have the courage and determination to escape, everything you and I do will be in vain."
"Tonight, I want to meet Pei Shaoheng."
Chen Zhizhou did not respond immediately. After a long while, he said, "Okay."
"You pretend to be my companion and visit Pei Shaoheng."
That night, Jingzhao Yin was imprisoned.
Gu Qing was dressed as a guard and followed Chen Zhizhou.
The jailer saw the person coming and bowed, "Master Chen."
"I've come to see Pei Shaoheng. This matter has not yet been concluded. I heard that you have begun to resort to lynching?"
"This..." The jailer was in a dilemma. They dared not disobey Lord Xu's order, but who knew that Lord Chen cared so much about Pei Shaoheng?
Chen Zhizhou stood with his hands behind his back, and just standing there made the jailer feel uneasy.
He spoke cautiously, "Master Chen, His Majesty has already ignored him, hasn't he? Why are you still bothering with him?"
"I understand that you are doing your duty, but..."
A cold laugh echoed faintly from above. The jailer immediately fell silent, kneeling before Chen Zhizhou and slapping himself in the face. "I've been too talkative! I deserve to die! I hope Master Chen will spare my life."
"Your Lord Xu, do you like to guess the emperor's thoughts like this every day?" Chen Zhizhou's words made the jailer tremble all over.
His lips trembled, and he leaned his head against the ground: "Xu...Master Xu..."
"Where is the person?" Chen Zhizhou didn't want to listen to his nonsense. The jailer immediately stood up, not daring to raise his head, and respectfully led him all the way to the prison where Pei Shaoheng was imprisoned.
"Master Chen, I'm right here. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
"roll."
The jailer didn't dare to say anything more, just nodded repeatedly and left the prison.
At the same time, Gu Qingcai raised his head and said in a cold voice: "Master Chen, today's trip has yielded a lot for both you and me."
Chen Zhizhou said in a cold tone: "The Xu family is interesting."
"All his men dare to speak the truth about the emperor's will. As for him..." Chen Zhizhou did not continue speaking, but the pressure in the prison became even lower.
Even Gu Qing could feel the murderous intent emanating from Chen Zhizhou.
In the iron cage in front of the two men, Pei Shaoheng was lying on his side on the cold stone bed, his body curled up into a ball. Perhaps because the cage was too cold, his body was trembling slightly.
Gu Qing took a step forward and spoke softly, "Pei Shaoheng."
The person on the bed suddenly froze. After a moment, he seemed quite shocked and turned to look at the two people outside the cell in disbelief: "Master Chen? Madam Chen?!"
Unlike the look he gave Chen Zhizhou, when Pei Shaoheng saw Gu Qing, there was a hint of doubt and tenderness in his eyes.
This tenderness was fleeting, but was keenly captured by Chen Zhizhou.
His face was slightly cold, and he held Gu Qing's hand, "What does Madam want to say?"
Pei Shaoheng was very attentive and immediately understood what Chen Zhizhou meant, and a surge of anger arose in his heart.
Gu Qing didn't know what the two people were thinking. He just felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle and made people feel uncomfortable.
And Chen Zhizhou held his hands tightly, which looked even more strange.
She suppressed this strange emotion and looked at Pei Shaoheng: "Are you still hoping that His Majesty will summon you?"
Perhaps because Chen Zhizhou was present, Pei Shaoheng did not speak as he did before, but with a lot of vigilance and caution.
"I don't understand what Madam Chen said."
Gu Qing continued, "Do you know why Zhao Qi couldn't save you? If he had continued to speak well of you in front of His Majesty, how could you have been wrongfully imprisoned?"
Pei Shaoheng's expression changed slightly. This was indeed something he hadn't figured out.
"Your Majesty does not wish to be involved in your affairs. This case has now been handed over to the Jingzhao Yin to handle."
After hearing these words, Pei Shaoheng's eyes showed a hint of disbelief and hurt despair.
"Impossible! Your Majesty clearly wanted to grant me an official position!" Pei Shaoheng suddenly got up from the ground and rushed to Gu Qing, but then he realized he was too excited and forced himself to calm down: "You really didn't lie to me?"
"If I lied to you, why would you resort to lynching?" Gu Qing looked at the wounds on his body without much emotion.
After he finished speaking, the person opposite him suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was both sad and sarcastic: "No wonder, no wonder they are so unscrupulous!"
"The emperor is truly ruthless. Is there really no place for me, Pei Shaoheng, in this world?!"
Seeing his tears in his smile, Gu Qing knew that he was heartbroken. The corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Since that's the case, you should know that you don't have many days to live."
Pei Shaoheng raised his head, his eyes stubborn: "But! I want to live!"
"Very good." Gu Qing turned around and looked at Chen Zhizhou, "If you want to live, the Chen family can give you a chance."
"Why?" Pei Shaoheng was puzzled. Although he knew he had no choice, he still wanted to know clearly.
Gu Qing's eyebrows curved slightly, and her tone was firm: "This lady has said that you will become a powerful official in the future."
"Even now, Madam still thinks so?"
