Chapter 137 Admonition
“Bang!”
Pei Ji couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Luo Zhen.
I thought that forcing Luo Zhen out of her secret would be helpful to him, but I didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous thing!
He was extremely furious. "I don't need you to interfere with my dealings with Fu'er! Luo Zhen! I'm warning you, if you don't want to die, and if you don't want to drag your parents and brother back in Yanzhou down with you, you'd better watch your mouth!"
Luo Zhen slowly turned her head, blood at the corner of her mouth. She laughed and spat her saliva mixed with blood at Pei Ji: "Coward!"
She turned around and staggered out.
Pei Ji stared at her back, murderous intent in his eyes, and finally punched the bedside table.
“Boom!”
The bedside table was shattered into pieces, and the debris fell on the bed and the floor.
Pei Ji gasped and looked at the residue.
Luo Zhen's words came out at an inopportune time.
She is a lunatic, but her words are so desirable.
He wanted to take Fu'er back, and the only way was to seize the throne.
But this is just wishful thinking.
Pei Ji put the back of his hand on his forehead, slowly lay down, looked at the beams in the dark, and pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly.
For half a month after that night, Pei Ji and Luo Zhen never met again.
Pei Ji lived directly in the front hall.
His earlier injuries had not yet healed, and he had new injuries. He had been recuperating for half a month but still had not fully recovered, so he had to stay at home.
Apart from Qichuan who would come to see him from time to time, he was usually only surrounded by his two nephews.
"Second Master, there's a girl named Wen Xiangjun outside who wants to see you."
Pei Ji sat on a wide chair in the outer room, watching his niece and nephew squatting on the ground playing with a ball. He paused for a moment and raised his eyes: "Wen Xiangjun?"
The servant hurriedly said, "Yes, that's what the girl said."
Pei Ji said, "Let her in."
The servant went out to pass on the message.
Soon, a girl came over with a package of snacks in her hands.
The girl was tall, with long hair tied up high, and dressed in a green dress, looking neat and dashing. She was indeed Wen Xiangjun.
She walked over and bowed to Pei Ji, saying, "Brother Pei, are your injuries feeling better?"
"I'm almost well now. Thank you Miss Wen for your concern."
Pei Ji stood up and walked forward and asked, "Isn't Miss Wen in the palace? How come you have time to come out?"
"I passed the assessment and have been assigned to the Northern Pacification Division as a small flag officer."
Wen Xiangjun said this, and seeing the two children playing in the hall looking at her curiously, she smiled at them and handed the snack package in her hand to them: "Please help your uncle collect the osmanthus cake."
The two children wanted to take it, but they didn't dare to, and looked at Pei Ji.
Pei Ji said, "Take it and go back to play."
The two children hurriedly took the snacks and were about to leave. Then they heard Pei Ji say, "You took the things and ran away. What did I teach you?"
The two children quickly turned around and bowed to Wen Xiangjun, saying, "Thank you, ma'am."
Wen Xiangjun watched the two children run away and said with a smile, "So Brother Pei can teach children."
Pei Ji smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Please sit down."
After they sat down, Pei Ji asked, "Miss Wen, you came here for more than just a visit to me, right?"
Wen Xiangjun said, "Brother Pei is still so perceptive. I didn't come here just to visit Brother Pei. Fu'er asked me to come."
Hearing the word "Fu'er", Pei Ji's breath tightened: "She, what did she ask you to do?"
Wen Xiangjun looked at him and said, "She asked me to come and persuade you."
Pei Ji opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse: "What are you trying to persuade me to do?"
Wen Xiangjun said, "She wants you and Luo Zhen to live a good life, and she and His Majesty will also live a good life. She loves His Majesty and doesn't want your affairs to bother her anymore."
Pei Ji's expression choked, and his breathing became heavy. "She loves Your Majesty? Is that really what she said?"
He really has this kind of thoughts about Fu'er!
Wen Xiangjun frowned and spoke in a harsh tone, "What else do you want her to say? Do you still want her to miss you? You've only met a few times, what makes you think she has feelings for you?"
Pei Ji slowly clenched his fists and stared at her intently.
Wen Xiangjun was not afraid and continued, "If you really loved her, you should have hidden your shameful thoughts and looked after the people around you instead of bringing this up in front of His Majesty! Fortunately, His Majesty loved Fu'er deeply and didn't believe those lies, otherwise Fu'er would have perished along with you! You implicated her, but she didn't care and even pleaded for you with His Majesty. That's how you got out of prison alive!"
You know His Majesty's temper best. Letting you go this time is already the limit. Fu'er is afraid that you will continue to be stubborn and lose your life, so she asked me to persuade you.
Pei Ji, ask yourself, have you done more for her, or has she done more for you? Is this love of yours true love, or just your own desire?
Pei Ji was a little flustered by her questions and held the handle of the chair: "I..."
He wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say.
Seeing him like this, Wen Xiangjun didn't want to say anything more. She stood up and sighed, "Brother Pei, let it go. Work hard in the Northern Pacification Division and live a good life with Luo Zhen. I see you like children very much, so have a few more with Luo Zhen. A wife and children, a warm bed, isn't that better than you insisting on pursuing those desires that will never be realized, hurting others and yourself?
Brother Pei, please think about it carefully."
