Pei Jingheng glanced at Fu Yu again.
Fu Yu also sized up Pei Jingheng.
No wonder Xiao Yuchen's face turned even uglier when his father-in-law reported that the General guarding the border was requesting an audience.
Without a word, he pulled her to his side, his gaze as cold as a blade.
It turned out that Pei Jingheng had arrived.
Xiao Yuchen's gaze grew increasingly cold, his eyes swirling with jealousy.
He raised his hand and pressed Fu Yu against his chest, covering her bright eyes.
"You flirted with other men in front of me?"
After saying that, she opened her mouth and bit Fu Yufa's red ear tip, expressing her dissatisfaction through her actions.
"Don't look at him again, or I'll cut him to pieces!"
"You won't."
Through the hard armor, Fu Yu stroked Xiao Yuchen's abdominal muscles, casually hooking them.
“My Xiao Yuchen is not a tyrannical ruler who indiscriminately kills innocent people.”
"The foreign states of the Western Regions outwardly submit to the Lê Dynasty, but in recent years they have been making moves and coveting the territory of the Lê Dynasty."
“Pei Jingheng is a pillar of support for the border generals. Killing him will do you no good.”
Fu Yu spouted a bunch of grand principles, but Xiao Yuchen only heard the word "mine".
He is hers.
right.
He was her only man.
Under his care, Fu Yu shed her weak and timid appearance.
Like a peony quietly blooming, it displays its most charming appearance in his palm.
Only he could see and feel this side of Fu Yu.
Xiao Yuchen always believed that he would not indulge in intimate moments and would not become a foolish ruler blinded by lust.
In hindsight, he overestimated himself.
All Fu Yu had to do was beckon with her finger.
Even if there's a cliff in front of him, Xiao Yuchen would jump off without hesitation.
His heartstrings were firmly in Fu Yu's grasp.
So, when she glances at someone else unintentionally, or when someone tries to seduce her with ill intentions...
Xiao Yuchen wished he could gouge out their eyes and kill all those despicable and vile people.
His Ayu is so beautiful and pure. Anyone who wants to lay a finger on her, except for him, is scum!
Seeing that Xiao Yuchen did not react, Fu Yu tilted her head up and gave him a light, fleeting kiss.
With her eyes covered, Fu Yu didn't know where she had kissed.
She could only sense that the man seemed to be stunned for a moment, and as she pulled back, he suddenly pressed down on the back of her head.
His forceful embrace left her no room to resist, and his arrogant kisses were even more possessive, as if he wanted to devour everything from her.
Pei Jingheng knelt on the ground, his peripheral vision glancing at the woman who was being covered.
Upon arriving in the capital, he heard that Xiao Yuchen had suddenly become obsessed with women and even wanted to dismiss his harem for an unknown woman.
Seeing you today, I can confirm that what you said was true.
Pei Jingheng lowered his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Even with Fu Yu's eyes blocked, Xiao Yuchen was still uneasy.
They had no choice but to have someone straighten the screen, effectively separating the two people.
"Today, I have summoned you to the spring hunt. Do you know why?"
Pei Jingheng cupped his hands in greeting, "This humble subject was unaware."
Xiao Yuchen held Fu Yu's hand in his palm. "A few days ago, the Imperial Guards arrested a lot of traitors in the capital."
“Strangely, they were not remnants of the previous dynasty, but spies from the Western Regions.”
Pei Jingheng frowned slightly and lowered his head even further.
"General Pei, you have lived on the frontier for a long time and know those city-states in the Western Regions best. Do you have any leads on this matter?"
Pei Jingheng maintained his calm expression, "The forty-two city-states of the Western Regions are all loyal to Your Majesty and have no other intentions."
"Regarding the spies, I am truly unaware of the reasons and dare not speculate."
"If Your Majesty trusts me, then entrust the interrogation of them to me. I will certainly give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer."
Through the screen, Xiao Yuchen calmly surveyed the upright young general.
"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."
Pei Jingheng's thin lips curved into a smile.
He quickly left the tent, where Yao'er, a maid from the Pei household, was still waiting for him at the door.
"Young Master, are you really going to have a secret rendezvous with Consort Zhao? If His Majesty's men find out that you are having a secret rendezvous with a concubine in the harem, that is a capital offense that could cost you your head."
Pei Jingheng smiled enigmatically, “Prepare some items that women like, the more unusual and rare the better.”
"Ideally, it should be something that isn't available in the palace."
Yao'er agreed with a worried expression.
What in the world is there that a royal palace, filled with rare and precious treasures, doesn't have?
If you want to make things difficult for her, just say so!
The young master has truly gone mad.
Even though Xie Zhaohua has already entered the palace, he is still deeply in love with her and can't forget her!
Inside the tent, Xiao Yuchen held Fu Yu tightly, showering her smooth back with delicate kisses.
"Does Ayu think what Pei Jingheng said is the truth?"
Fu Yu squinted and pressed down on his strong arm.
After a moment of confused thought, the brain arrived at the answer.
"no."
Even without the system's support, Fu Yu had still seen a great deal.
What kind of demons and monsters haven't I seen?
Pei Jingheng thought he had hidden himself perfectly, but to Fu Yu, he was just a clown full of loopholes.
You don't even need to look at his micro-expressions.
His words betrayed his panic.
There was also the eagerness to stop the interrogation, and the joy he showed after receiving Xiao Yuchen's consent.
His thoughts have been completely exposed.
Perhaps those people weren't spies from the Western Regions, but rather Pei Jingheng's men in disguise.
Once discovered, the blame will be shifted to the Western Regions.
Xiao Yuchen raised an eyebrow and smiled as he pulled Fu Yu into his arms.
He knew that he and Fu Yu were a match made in heaven.
They can all see through this despicable lie at a glance.
