Chapter 1021 Leaving (5)
Xie Jingxing asked: "How could he possibly know so much?"
Even if Pei Lang was a spy beside Fu Xiuyi, Fu Xiuyi wouldn't have trusted him to this extent. And Pei Lang meticulously described all of Fu Xiuyi's most hidden chess pieces, writing down every detail. It was as if he was a trusted general who had followed his master for many years and knew his master's affairs like the back of his hand, hence the detailed description.
Shen Miao’s fingertips were trembling a little.
Some of the things mentioned here were clearly not going to happen until a few years later. Even now, Fu Xiuyi didn't recognize those people, so how could Pei Lang know them?
Unless Pei Lang also had memories of his previous life, he already knew Fu Xiuyi's "future" confidants and pawns, and his "future" plans.
When did Pei Lang know this? Clearly, he didn't understand anything before.
Could it be… Shen Miao’s heart moved. She had dreamt of her past life on Xie Jingxing’s birthday because of the assassination. Could it be that Pei Lang had the same dream?
She looked at Fennel: "What's different about Mr. Pei these days?"
"What's different?" Fennel responded carefully, "It seems there's nothing different. He just often sits there in a daze, and I don't know what he's thinking about. But Master Pei has always been quiet, so it must be just this time of recuperation."
Shen Miao was undecided and wanted to ask Pei Lang if he knew about his past life. Pei Lang was the one who had been with Fu Xiuyi the longest, so he naturally understood Fu Xiuyi the most. But just as she was about to speak, she stopped.
So what? If Pei Lang really recalled his past life, just as Shen Miao couldn't face Pei Lang, he would certainly not be able to face her either.
The two of them weren't destined enemies, nor were they close companions. They'd both borne a blood debt, and had personally repaid it. Neither of them could control their own fate within the palace, but they had certainly made mistakes. They couldn't pretend nothing had happened, nor could they clearly explain it.
Seeing her uncertain expression, Xie Jingxing asked, "Do you need me to order someone to bring him back?"
Shen Miao came back to her senses and said, "No need. Since he wants to live his own life, let him go." It's better not to see each other than to see each other. It's good that Pei Lang left like this. She held the paper, a hint of fierceness in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xie Jingxing said, "It's written on it..."
"It's true." Shen Miao said, "We have to give this to big brother. We're not in Dingjing, and it would be difficult to move with this. Give it to big brother and father, and they will see to it. With this, the Shen family at least has more bargaining chips." Then she became troubled: "But this thing is valuable. We have to send it back to Mingqi. If it is robbed on the way..."
"Let Mo Yujun go." Xie Jingxing said nonchalantly, "Mo Yujun has been delivering letters for so many years, and no one has intercepted them."
Shen Miao felt a little relieved, but before she could say anything, Xie Jingxing snatched Pei Lang's letter from her hand. Xie Jingxing casually threw the letter away and said, "It's too late, go to bed."
“How is it late?” Shen Miaoqi said, “It’s just getting dark.” He added, “Although we don’t need to find Mr. Pei, we must at least ensure his safety. He was stabbed for no reason that day. If he is targeted again…”
Before he could finish his words, Shen Miao had already been picked up by Xie Jingxing. He threw Shen Miao onto the bed, approached her, and said sinisterly, "Try to care about Pei Lang again?"
Shen Miao: “…”
…
In the palace.
In the imperial garden, the lotus flowers bloomed beautifully in summer, and the emerald green lotus leaves almost covered the entire pond.
Empress Xian De sat in the pavilion. Although there was no moon today, there were stars. A cool breeze blew, and the water shimmered, creating a beautiful scene. She also ordered scented tea to be brewed. A small cup on a summer day was incredibly soothing.
