Chapter 129 Is he here to rape me?
"Yeah." Pei Jing responded. Jiang Fei saw the black shadow move, and then the candle lit up, and the room suddenly became bright.
Jiang Fei propped herself up and sat up, her eyes scanning Pei Jing from head to toe. "You sneaked into my bedroom in the middle of the night, are you here to rape me?"
Pei Jing pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, looking at her. "Are you really hoping that I'll come and rob you? I won't let you have your wish."
Jiang Fei: “…”
Well, she finally discovered that this guy was very childish and liked to go against others.
"Then what are you doing here so late at night?"
Pei Jing looked around the room and replied, "It's quite decent here."
"Of course," Jiang Fei said, "This is Princess Anping's villa."
Yesterday she scolded Zhang Zheng severely. Princess Anping was not planning to return home, nor was she willing to go to the Princess's Residence, so as not to worry her mother. So she stayed in another courtyard for a while and invited Jiang Fei to go with her.
"Why did you follow Anping to her villa?"
Jiang Fei sighed, "I'm hiding from people."
Pei Jing frowned, "Are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Fei looked at the man sitting in front of her without any shame in breaking into a woman's room in the middle of the night. What's the difference between him and a lecher?
"Can I hide from you?"
Jiang Fei was not lying when she said this. She had given up on hiding from Pei Jing. Every time she dodged him, she would bump into him accurately. It would be better not to hide.
"I'm glad you know." Pei Jing leaned back in his chair, his expression rather smug. "Who are you hiding from?"
"My mother." Jiang Fei smoothed her sleep-tangled hair and said, "Didn't I scold Zhang Zheng? She's looking for a reason to cause trouble for me. She might close the ancestral hall or copy the Women's Code. I came out to hide, but what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Pei Jing tapped the armrest intermittently. "Aren't you going to investigate Jiang Linyuan? I've received some information. Jiang Linyuan has disappeared, and the Sword Forging Pavilion is searching for him all over the world."
"Missing? When did it happen?"
"It's been a while, about two months."
Jiang Fei's brows were twisted into a knot.
Two months ago, which was May, was the time when she went to Tingquan Mountain and was plotted against by Wei Ciying in Jinglian Temple.
Could it be that Jiang Linyuan was also being plotted against by Wei Ciying at that time? However, Jiang Linyuan was a highly skilled martial artist, so he shouldn't have been easily tricked.
A finger pressed against Jiang Fei's brow, smoothing the wrinkled area, and Jiang Fei came back to her senses.
"What are you doing?"
Pei Jing withdrew his hand and sat back. "Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll tell you when I find the person."
"Okay." Jiang Fei nodded.
Pei Jing grabbed the armrest. The girl had just woken up, with her hair loose, and she looked so cute when she said "OK" that people wanted to pinch her face, which must feel much better than the hard armrest under his hand.
He clenched his fists and resisted the urge to reach out, so as to prevent the girl from thinking that he was really here to rape her.
"There's one more thing," Pei Jing looked away, "I'll be away from the capital for a while, maybe half a month at the least, or a month at the most."
Jiang Fei raised her eyebrows: "So?"
"So," Pei Jing leaned forward, "when I'm not in the capital, you better behave yourself."
These words sounded inexplicably ambiguous, and Jiang Fei's ears felt hot, "What do you mean by being a little more obedient?"
"Just don't poke a hole in the sky, or no one will cover you up." He pointed out the window, "Leave Wen Zhu to you. She can mobilize some of the secret guards."
Jiang Fei became interested: "Do you have any specific hints?"
Pei Jing stood up and looked at her, then suddenly smiled. "Don't beat the drum to report the incident, don't blow up the imperial mausoleum, and don't insult the emperor in the street."
"Then is it okay for me to insult you in the street?" Jiang Fei blinked.
"I can't hear you again. I'll scold you in person when I get back. Also..." He paused and said, "Don't be greedy."
Ice is in short supply in the hot summer, but the princess has plenty of ice here, as much as she wants. This girl is like a person who has never eaten meat before and is eating it for the first time. She wants to die of fullness in one breath. There is too much ice in the room, and even he feels a little cold.
Pei Jing walked to the window and pushed it wider to let the warm night breeze from outside blow in. Jiang Fei said "eh" and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
As an ancient man, he doesn't understand the happiness that modern people feel when they sleep wrapped in quilts with the air conditioner turned down on a low setting on hot days.
Pei Jing turned around and saw Jiang Fei standing barefoot on the footstool. The collar of her pajamas was askew, revealing a part of her snow-white neck.
"So where are you going this time?" she asked.
"It's something important." Pei Jing paused, then suddenly narrowed his eyes. "Why, are you concerned about me?"
Jiang Fei rolled her eyes: "I'm afraid you'll die outside."
"I won't die." Pei Jing chuckled. "There's no danger. Even if I become a ghost, I'll come back to see you."
"Don't!" Jiang Fei picked up the soft pillow, "If I scare myself to death, who will burn paper for you?"
In the candlelight, Pei Jing's eyes suddenly lit up. Jiang Fei didn't know what he was thinking. This madman's thinking process has always been different from that of normal people.
Pei Jing deliberately cleared his throat and said, "Then I will leave."
Jiang Fei nodded, not knowing whether to say "be careful on the road" out of concern. After thinking about it, she said, "Be careful on the road."
Pei Jing paused and looked back at her.
The two of them stared at each other across the candlelight. The candlelight crackled and burst into sparks, making Pei Jing's eyes seem to be filled with floating stars.
Jiang Fei only felt a flash of a mysterious shadow under the lamp, and Pei Jing suddenly turned around and strode to the bed. The cold pine scent wrapped around the hem of his clothes almost extinguished the candlelight.
"you--"
As Jiang Fei opened her mouth, Pei Jing leaned forward, so close that she could count the shadows cast by his eyelashes. "Say it again."
"What did you say? Be careful on the road?" Jiang Fei shrank back, "Pei Jing, are your ears not working well?"
"Well, it doesn't work." Pei Jing looked down at her, his tone a little amused, "Say it ten more times."
Jiang Fei was so angry that she kicked his knee, "Are you sick?"
Pei Jing took the blow without dodging or evading, but instead chuckled, "Xiao Cui, when I come back, I'll bring you something interesting."
Before Jiang Fei could ask him what he wanted to bring, her lips felt hot.
It was a fleeting touch, with a bit of restraint, so fast that she didn't even have time to react before Pei Jing turned and left.
When I came to my senses, only the flickering candlelight remained in the room.
Jiang Fei touched her burning lips, fell on the bed and buried her face in the quilt.
This bastard! Didn’t he say he wouldn’t rape women?!
Outside the door, Wen Zhu leaned against the pillar silently, pretending not to see his master stumble over the threshold when he went out.
"Wen Zhu."
Wen Zhu stepped forward and said, "I'm here."
"Keep an eye on her while I'm away from the capital," Pei Jing ordered calmly. "Follow her instructions. If anyone has any ill intentions, kill them without mercy. If you can't handle it, take her to a safe place first. I'll personally settle the matter when I return to the capital."
"Wen Zhu obeys the order."
Wen Zhu also saw that this was the prince's apple of his eye. If anything went wrong, her life as a guard would be in danger, but the capital would be in turmoil.
"Also, there's too much ice in that room, and it's very humid. She wants to stay cool, so we can't just give in to her."
Wen Zhu said "Oh" perfunctorily.
Pei Jing walked out, Duan Jiu followed him a few steps behind, and came to Wen Zhu's side, "Don't go crazy with Miss Jiang Er."
"Am I that kind of person?" Wen Zhu pointed at himself.
"You are that kind of person!" Duan Jiu nodded, then reached out and rubbed Wen Zhu's head, turned around and walked out, waving his hand with his back.
After leaving the villa, Pei Jing jumped on his horse. He was not in a hurry to go on. Instead, he gently pulled the reins and walked slowly along the street.
"It's strange to feel worried." Pei Jing looked at the road ahead. He was clearly riding a horse and his feet hadn't even touched the ground, but it seemed that his steps were getting heavier and heavier.
He suddenly turned his head and asked, "Duan Jiu, can you understand that feeling?"
Duan Jiu nodded seriously, "Yes, every time Wen Zhu goes on a mission, I miss her too."
Then after he finished speaking, he saw the prince's contemptuous eyes in the moonlight, and he seemed to be despised.
Pei Jing said: "You don't understand at all!"
