Chapter 125 The note was written by him
Jiang Shuyi didn't know how the matter ended up involving redressing an injustice.
Taoist Wu told her about a wrongful conviction by the Jingzhao Yin. She was confused by what he said, while Pei Yan's face gradually became gloomy, and it seemed that he was really kept in the dark.
Jiang Shuyi looked at this and that, and was so bored that she felt a little sleepy. Pei Yan noticed it and asked her to sit on the cushion and rest.
Jiang Shuyi felt that Taoist Wu was looking at her. When she looked back, he had already sighed and looked away.
I don't know whether he was sighing for the wronged person or for her.
It must be about the case, what is she sighing about?
Jiang Shuyi dozed off on the table. When she woke up, they had finished their talk. Pei Yan did not mention the crime of deceiving the emperor again and told her that she could leave.
There was no way Jiang Shuyi could just leave like that.
She was struggling to find a reason to stay and ask Taoist Wu about the note alone, when Taoist Wu spoke softly, "I think this lady doesn't look well. Has she been feeling unwell recently?"
Pei Yan looked at him coldly: "Master, are you reminding me that I have forgotten the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Taoist priest Wu stroked his beard and smiled, "No, no, I know your majesty doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but not everything in this world is fictitious. I see the look on your majesty's face and I'm afraid you have provoked something unclean."
Jiang Shuyi understood that he wanted to keep her to talk, so she nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"What is it?" Pei Yan pulled her to his side and looked at her unhappily: "The only one you are provoking is me."
Taoist Priest Wu laughed and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, then I will just pretend to be a doctor. Seeing the dark eyes of the Empress, it must be because of lack of sleep recently, and perhaps accompanied by nightmares. Your face is haggard, and you must have been sick several times. Your Majesty, I have a way to cure the Empress."
Pei Yan fell silent.
These symptoms are consistent with Jiang Shuyi's.
Jiang Shuyi nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I do have nightmares often, and I have not been sleeping well recently. I even had a serious illness a while ago!"
Pei Yan only cared about one thing: "How to cure it."
Taoist Priest Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please go outside and wait for a while. I will perform a ritual for you."
Pei Yan grabbed Jiang Shuyi's hand and was about to leave, too lazy to waste any more words with this old liar.
"Hey!" Jiang Shuyi quickly pulled Pei Yan back and begged anxiously: "Your Majesty, perhaps there is really an evil spirit haunting me, let this Taoist priest perform a ritual!"
Pei Yan looked at her with difficulty.
The look in her eyes seemed as if she couldn't understand how there could be such a stupid person in the world, and she was his favorite concubine.
Jiang Shuyi pretended not to understand and kept pinching his hand, half acting coquettishly and half hinting him not to leave.
"If Your Majesty finds it difficult to accept, I can still put it another way."
Taoist Priest Wu smiled and said, "Your Highness is overthinking, which is why you have nightmares and your body becomes weak. As the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine. I heard that one of the late emperor's favorite concubines fell ill and refused to trust the imperial physician. She insisted on asking the lama to perform a ritual. Even though the late emperor did not believe it, he allowed the lama to enter the palace and gave her medicine, and the queen recovered quickly."
Pei Yan understood the hidden meaning.
Jiang Shuyi believed in these strange and supernatural things, so she had wild thoughts and nightmares, which made her body weak.
Even though I know this approach is useless, I will just try to appease her. If she believes it and stops thinking about it, maybe things will get better.
Jiang Shuyi felt that Pei Yan was looking at her as if she were a fool, with a thoughtful and pitying look in his eyes.
Jiang Shuyi: ...
She wasn't so stupid that she couldn't understand the hidden meaning behind their words!
In order to ask Taoist Wu a question alone, Jiang Shuyi still acted as if she believed in Taoist Wu's words and didn't hear the hidden meaning in their words.
Pei Yan thought for a moment and said, "It is possible to perform the ritual, but not here. The Taoist priest can prepare the necessary items and go to the palace to perform the ritual in two days."
He couldn't leave Jiang Shuyi here alone, and he needed to investigate the origins of this old Taoist priest to find out whether he was a person with bad intentions.
Taoist Priest Wu replied "Yes", and then gently reminded: "Your Highness can spend more time with His Majesty in the next two days, which will also help to drive away evil spirits."
Pei Yan glanced at him and felt his hand being held tightly by Jiang Shuyi, and his brows relaxed a little.
Jiang Shuyi knew in her heart that she shouldn't be too hasty to ask Taoist Wu questions alone, because Pei Yan was not stupid and would be able to see the clues.
She comforted Pei Yan, and when she left with him, she dropped the note in her sleeve on the ground, and then turned around to look at Taoist Wu.
Taoist Wu's eyes fell on the note, and then he looked up and met her gaze, smiling gently and kindly again.
Jiang Shuyi understood.
He was the one who wrote it.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Pei Yan insisted on going to the silk shop.
He was still upset about the last time Jiang Shuyi left him behind to go shopping.
Jiang Shuyi felt that Taoist Wu didn't have any bad intentions, so she relaxed a lot and teased him on purpose: "Didn't I buy a lot last time? I asked you to make clothes for your majesty, why don't you want to?"
The carriage drove smoothly on the street. Pei Yan put down the teacup and looked at her: "Royal blue, bright purple, dark green, you want me to wear these colors, right?"
Jiang Shuyi said confidently: "I just want to see Your Majesty wearing bright colors. Besides, don't you have a red one? Your Majesty has a court dress that is red, so why can't the one I buy be used!"
"But my court robes will never be embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers."
Jiang Shuyi was stared at by Pei Yan. She coughed lightly with a guilty conscience and said stubbornly: "This, this pattern is worn by many young masters. When I was at home, my second brother wore a red robe with hundreds of butterflies and flowers."
Pei Yan: "I am not your second brother. Don't compare that drunkard with me. He is not worthy."
Jiang Shuyi smiled and leaned on his shoulder: "Okay, okay, who in this world can be compared with Your Majesty? You have to pick some good ones later. If they are not worthy of Your Majesty, I will smash the store!"
Pei Yan didn't need her to coax him like this, but he still curled his lips in pleasure.
It had been more than half a month since she last left the palace. Jiang Shuyi had never expected that the servants here still recognized her. When they saw her, they came up to her with shining eyes: "Madam is here? Oh, this gentleman is so handsome. It seems that he and Madam are a perfect match. Is he the master of the family?"
Jiang Shuyi glanced at Pei Yan, whose expression had softened, and said with a smile, "Yes, this is my husband. This time he came to pick out some fabric suitable for making clothes."
The guy acted as if he saw a money bag and hurried to greet him.
"This gentleman has an outstanding demeanor and is as handsome as a god. He looks great in light green, tea white, or sky blue. If he wants patterns, he should choose bamboo leaves, lotus, or auspicious clouds and cranes. They can make him look even more extraordinary."
After hearing this, Pei Yan looked at Jiang Shuyi indifferently.
The meaning is obvious, everyone knows that he is suitable for wearing light colors.
Jiang Shuyi was not convinced: "Apart from these light colors, what else can we do? Our servant ran away and there is no one to wash his clothes. We need something that won't get dirty!"
