Chapter 97 Tuoba Yuer leaves
It took Jiang Shuyi a long time to understand Pei Yan's meaning.
She opened her mouth, but her words were incoherent, so she simply threw back the quilt and tried to get off the bed.
Pei Yan stopped her: "What are you going to do? I'll help you."
"I want to go back to Zhaoyang Palace!"
Jiang Shuyi looked at him aggrieved and angry, and repeated: "Go back to Zhaoyang Palace and don't let His Majesty bully you here!"
Of course, Pei Yan would never let her go.
"I have also sent someone to buy you a few books, which should all be books you like to read. If you leave, I will burn them."
This reminded Jiang Shuyi that she wanted to take them along!
Seeing that she was determined to break free from him, Pei Yan hesitated for a moment and let go of her hand. The next moment, Jiang Shuyi's feet touched the ground, and she suddenly felt her legs trembling and weak, and she actually sat down directly on the ground.
Seeing Jiang Shuyi's face suddenly redden after being stunned for a while, Pei Yan said calmly: "Although you like it, you still need to be restrained, otherwise it will be bad for your body."
Jiang Shuyi was furious, but she could only be angry and embarrassed. In the end, she had to let Pei Yan carry her back to bed.
Pei Yan smiled and said gently, "I have to go deal with the matter in Xitian. You should rest well. If you want to read any book, ask Fangchu to get it for you. Okay?"
Jiang Shuyi heard the princess and reluctantly looked up at him: "Your Majesty will not kill the princess, right?"
Pei Yan still had a smile on his face: "I really don't like you caring about others, especially someone who carried you on his own initiative today without telling me."
Jiang Shuyi was speechless: "My aunt also hugged me."
Pei Yan smiled more sincerely this time: "I am not so intolerant that I cannot even tolerate your biological mother."
Then you are quite generous!
Jiang Shuyi grumbled inwardly with resentment, then tugged at Pei Yan's sleeve and begged softly.
"Your Majesty, if Tuoba Yu'er has any intention to harm me or you, it doesn't matter how you deal with her. If she doesn't, and she really just wants to steal me away because she is so close to me, Your Majesty, please forgive her for this time, okay?"
Pei Yan said "Hmm": "Don't worry."
Jiang Shuyi was about to feel relieved, but he continued, "Tuoba Yu'er is not a simple person, she must have other plans. I will listen to you and punish her severely."
Jiang Shuyi: ...
She really couldn't care less. If she continued to beg for mercy, Pei Yan would probably skin Tuoba Yu'er like he had skinned the King of Xitian in his dream. It was better for her to keep quiet.

Pei Yan did not skin Tuoba Yuer alive.
At least on the second day, Jiang Shuyi saw that Tuoba Yuer, who came to say goodbye to her, was still alive and well, without a single piece of flesh missing.
Tuoba Yuer gave her the completed portrait.
It was almost the same as what Jiang Shuyi had seen yesterday, except that it was brighter and more colorful. In the painting, the morning sun was reflected on her face and hair. She was sitting on the swing with her eyes lowered, reading a book. She saw something interesting, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her smile was sincere.
Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw this.
Tuoba Yuer looked at the queen, then looked at His Majesty who was watching her from the side, then knelt down and shouted, "I'm sorry, Queen!"
Jiang Shuyi was startled and wanted to help Tuoba Yuer, but she was holding the painting and couldn't free her hands. She wanted to give the painting to Pei Yan temporarily, but Pei Yan ignored her and refused to take it with his hands behind his back.
She glared at him, and then quickly said to Tuoba Yu'er: "Hurry up, the princess bows, I can't bear it."
Tuoba Yuer shook her head and looked at her with a guilty conscience: "My queen, I shouldn't have tricked you into going to Xitian. In fact, Xitian is not that good. The people there are rough and not as elegant as those in Dayuan. The winter is also very cold. Every December, some people's ears are frozen off. And the cow and sheep feces are really smelly..."
Jiang Shuyi frowned in disgust when she heard this and interrupted him: "Stop talking! I never intended to go to Xitian with you from the beginning to the end."
As soon as she finished speaking, the painting in her hand was taken away. She turned her head and saw that Pei Yan's expression, which had been indifferent just now, had become warm and gentle.
"Oh, yes, there's also the Hibiscus Bird." Tuoba Yu'er explained embarrassedly, "It's also fake. Before the Crown Prince died, my brother and I had a very difficult life and didn't have the time to raise a bird."
Jiang Shuyi was a little unhappy: "Why did you lie to me?"
She felt bad for a long time because of this bird!
Tuoba Yuer looked at her pitifully, "Because the very bad Crown Prince and the annoying father often harassed the border of Dayuan, my brother said that Dayuan would definitely bear a grudge, and now it is not taking action, just to eradicate the civil strife first, and they will still attack in the future. My brother is very good to me, so I want to do something for him. In Xitian, everyone dislikes me. Even our Taifu chose to betray the Crown Prince and support my brother because of me, so I want to come to marry, so that His Majesty of Dayuan will also like me and give up attacking Xitian."
Jiang Shuyi was angry and puzzled: "Since you want His Majesty to like you, why do you come to seduce me?"
Tuoba Yuer sighed, "After hearing this, the Grand Tutor came to scold me late at night for overestimating my abilities, saying that the Emperor of Dayuan had a favorite concubine, and Wen Huan had previously taken advantage of the right time, place, and people to force him to give her to her, but the Emperor refused to give her to him. It would be useless for me to marry into the family, and I would only be able to watch others get married and feel resentful for the rest of my life."
So she took it upon herself to kidnap Jiang Shuyi first and let her leave a letter to tell Emperor Dayuan that she wanted to leave voluntarily. Men can't stand betrayal the most, right? Emperor Dayuan would definitely be angry. Even if he didn't immediately hate his favorite concubine, it would give her a chance to take advantage of the situation.
The worst outcome would be that Emperor Dayuan still loved his favorite concubine and asked Xitian for her. In that case, she would immediately commit suicide, leaving Concubine Jiang as a hostage in her brother's hands, forcing Emperor Dayuan to not dare to send troops.
Tuoba Yu'er couldn't say all this. She only said the first half of what she had explained to Pei Yan yesterday, hoping to take advantage of the situation and win Pei Yan's favor.
Jiang Shuyi felt that her half-hearted sincerity had been wasted!
Although she did not have a deep sisterly relationship with Tuoba Yu'er, they had been quite compatible in chatting and laughing during the past few days of painting, and she even gave her many of her favorite pearl hairpins and jewelry.
It turns out that they came for Pei Yan!
She no longer even liked the painting. She glared at Pei Yan, turned around and quickly returned to the inner hall.
Pei Yan was stared at innocently, with the corners of his lips slightly curled.

After Princess Tuoba left, Jiang Shuyi put the portrait and the several dresses she had given her into the warehouse without even looking at them.
With this new anger, she forgot about Pei Yan's old anger about testing her. When night fell, she snuggled into his chest again and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you like me?"
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment, then asked, "Do you want me to be fierce or gentle?"
Jiang Shuyi immediately retorted with wide eyes: "That's not what I meant!"
Pei Yan laughed: "Didn't I teach you what it means to hide something only to reveal it more clearly?"
"If you don't mean it, you should at least be stunned for a moment instead of reacting immediately." He said, pushing Jiang Shuyi over and said softly, "Well, I won't ask you anymore. You always say one thing and mean another. I'll just watch."
