73. Chapter 73 Don’t be afraid
Xiaoxing didn't know much. He only knew that Princess Yuyang, like him, had been assigned some tasks. There were two young eunuchs in the palace who were from the Dajin Dynasty, but he had no idea who they were.
Xiaoxing lowered his head in shame. Thinking of the poison, he talked about the forty-eight herbs again. At that time, when the poison master presented the prescription to the emperor, Xiaoxing was also in the hall. Like Xiaoxiao, he was born with a good memory. Even if he only took a glance, he could still remember the forty-eight herbs used in the poison.
After he finished speaking, his eyes darkened again. After all, there was no antidote for this poison. Even if he knew which herbs were used, it might not be possible to save Pei Jing.
Pei Xiuhan asked him to write down the forty-eight herbs and said, "If the imperial physician can develop a poison based on these herbs, I'll credit you with a great achievement."
After he finished speaking, he let Xiaoxing go and let him stay in Prince Yan's Mansion for the time being.
After Xiaoxing left, Pei Xiuhan and Xiaoxiao were the only ones left in the room. Pei Xiuhan pulled Xiaoxiao closer and said gently, "The capital city won't be peaceful these days. For the time being, you should stay in the palace first, and have your brother move in as well."
Xiaoxiao agreed readily. She couldn't help him in any way, and she just wanted to avoid being a burden to him. "I'll go back to the mansion and talk to my brother."
Pei Xiuhan nodded.
Although the Zhang Mansion and the Prince of Yan's Mansion were adjacent to each other, their main entrances were on different streets. If she wanted to leave the mansion, she would have to go a long way. Pei Xiuhan simply ordered the housekeeper to find masons and asked them to break through the wall and build a temporary gate.
"Let's go back at night. Let's have the masons build a gate to the Zhang Mansion during the day."
Xiaoxiao blinked and agreed with a smile. Zhang's Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion were separated by only a wall. Xiaoxiao had imagined before that it would be great if there was a door on the wall. Who would have thought that he would have such an idea?
Xiaoxiao was a little excited and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing her happy expression, Pei Xiuhan couldn't help but smile. He reached out and held the little girl in his arms, "So happy?"
Xiaoxiao's cheeks were a little hot, and her little face was buried in his arms. The girl had beautiful facial features and a shy look, as if she had put on a layer of rouge, which was indescribably moving. Pei Xiu Han lowered his head and kissed her hair. His hand unconsciously rubbed her rosy earlobe, and he couldn't help but lowered his head and bit it.
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tremble, her face flushed with shame, "Brother."
Pei Xiuhan's eyes narrowed slightly, he reached out and stroked her rosy lips, and couldn't help but kiss her.
Although they had only kissed a few times, his kiss was particularly lingering and domineering. Thinking of last night, her lips were a little swollen after he kissed her, Xiaoxiao was a little resistant and couldn't help but move back a little.
Noticing her movements, Pei Xiuhan's eyes darkened a little, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't like it?"
Xiaoxiao's heart beat faster. After meeting his deep eyes, she couldn't say no. She couldn't help but whisper, "Only kiss, no biting."
Pei Xiu Han chuckled softly, and the following kiss was extremely gentle. He kissed her for a long time before letting her go.
He had been away from Beijing for more than two months and had a lot of things to deal with. After spending some time with Xiaoxiao, he went to the study.
Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, so she went to see out of curiosity how the masons were going to build the gate. Could it be that they would just chisel a hole in the wall and then build the door?
When she came over, the bricklayers had already started working. Only five people came this time. They had also participated in the previous expansion of Wuya Hall. They also recognized Xiaoxiao, and when they saw her, they hurriedly greeted her.
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Just take care of yourselves, don't worry about me."
Knowing that she had a kind nature, these people did not bother to be polite with her and started working efficiently. They simply pushed down a wall. With five people, they built the gate in just two or three hours.
After Xiaoxiao returned home, she told Zhang Li that the prince wanted them to live in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Zhang Li had been worried about her safety since he learned that the emperor had been in trouble. He nodded and said, "That's fine. You'll be safe if you live in the palace."
Zhang Li originally wanted to say, "Brother is a man, nothing will happen to him, I'll just stay here."
After seeing Xiaoxiao's increasingly beautiful face, his expression paused slightly. He once again felt troubled by the fact that his sister was too beautiful. After all, no matter how he looked at it, Pei Xiuhan didn't look like a law-abiding person. As a man, Zhang Li naturally knew how bad a man could be.
Fearing that his sister would be bullied, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said, "Then I will live with you in Suyuexuan, so that the prince won't have to clean up the yard extra."
Xiaoxiao nodded happily, "Okay."
Ever since moving to the Zhang Mansion, Xiaoxiao's brother has lived in the front yard. Xiaoxiao only sees him at dinner time. Unlike before, when she would see him every day. Xiaoxiao still misses her childhood.
After moving back to Suyuexuan, life didn't change much. The wedding was only one month away, and Xiaoxiao was embroidering the wedding dress every day. Pei Xiuhan also became busy, and Xiaoxiao might not see him once every two or three days.
Pei Xiuhan gave the prescription to Doctor Qin. After three days of experiments, Doctor Qin finally succeeded in developing this medicinal powder. Because the powder was colorless and odorless, the silver needle could not detect it, so it could be said to be a deadly poison.
Pei Xiuhan planned to retaliate, so he immediately sent the medicine package to Dajin. Naturally, there were also people from Dazhou stationed in the palace of Dajin.
It would be a good thing if we could use this method to get rid of the emperor of the Great Jin. He is ambitious and has always been able to stir up trouble. This war between the Great Jin and the Great Zhou was instigated by him.
Pei Xiu Han had disliked him for a long time. Over the years, Pei Xiu Han had sent people to assassinate him twice. Unfortunately, Da Jin was also full of masters, and he escaped death both times.
After the medicine package was secretly sent away, Pei Xiuhan began to settle the matter of "collusion between officials and bandits" to rob official silver. He always used thunder-like means. As many as ten officials in Guzhou stepped down, and even two high-ranking officials in the capital were implicated. They were taken away directly by people from the Dali Temple as soon as they finished the morning court. The officials who saw this scene were all a little frightened.
Xiaoxiao was unaware of what was happening in the outside world. She was completely absorbed in embroidering her wedding gown. One day, Mo Chuan came to see her again. Upon learning that she was at the palace, Mo Chuan sent a visiting card to the palace.
Pei Xiuhan's return was still a secret. It was not convenient to receive guests in the palace. Thinking of his identity, Yang Hao still asked Pei Xiuhan whether he should let him in.
When he came over, Pei Xiuhan happened to be at Xiaoxiao's place. He had been busy for a few days and had just finished a task, so he came over to see Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao was originally embroidering her wedding dress. When she saw him coming, she quickly put away her sewing basket.
Xiaoxiao also heard Yang Hao's request.
Pei Xiuhan had known Xiaoxiao's life experience a few days ago, and his people had also found out about Xue Ji's appearance, and she looked exactly like Xiaoxiao. When he saw the portrait, he knew that Xiaoxiao must be Xue Ji's child.
Pei Xiuhan had a deep impression of Mo Chuan. When Mo Chuan got into trouble, he felt sorry for him and even thought that his way of self-punishment was a bit stupid.
However, he is the only one in the Anguo Mansion who treats Xiaoxiao sincerely. Pei Xiuhan would naturally be happy to see more people love Xiaoxiao. It's a pity that his eyes and legs are gone... otherwise he could be used more.
Pei Xiuhan felt a little regretful and couldn't help but knock on the armrest. Thinking that he was in a difficult situation, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speak first, "Let him go back and try to treat his eyes and legs. If it works, let him come to visit again."
The first few times they met, Xiaoxiao wanted to talk about his eyes, but because she was not familiar with him, she was too embarrassed to say more. This time, she took the opportunity to bring it up.
Pei Xiuhan's heart moved slightly. He knew how stubborn Mo Chuan was. He thought that only Xiaoxiao could make him make up his mind to get treatment. He nodded and said to Yang Hao, "Just do as Xiaoxiao said. Let him try."
After hearing what Yang Hao said, Mo Chuan couldn't help but be silent. His eyes and legs had been damaged for more than ten years. It was simply a fantasy to want to cure them. He thought Xiaoxiao didn't want to recognize him and was annoyed by him, so she refused to see him. Mo Chuan's heart sank to the bottom.
He turned and left the palace, his dark eyes dim. Mo Chuan thought for a moment and sent someone to pass a message to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
At this moment, Mu Xi was listening to the maid reading a storybook. She always enjoyed herself. Not only was she too lazy to move in the summer, she also often stayed on the couch in the winter. When she learned that Mo Chuan wanted to see her, her delicate eyebrows raised slightly.
Xiaoxiao didn't know that Mo Chuan was going to lose a lot of money for nothing.
After Yang Hao left, only she and Pei Xiu Han were left in the room. Although Xiaoxiao put away her sewing basket, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that it was strange for no reason that he had caught her embroidering a wedding dress.
Pei Xiuhan didn't think much about it.
The clothes were not yet finished, so she quickly put them away. Pei Xiu Han didn't even realize that she was embroidering a wedding dress.
Seeing the little girl's blushing face, Pei Xiuhan's heart was moved. He walked closer to the girl and hugged her in his arms, "Why is your face so red?"
Xiaoxiao blushed and tried to hide back, but failed. He loved the shy look of the girl and loved kissing her. He couldn't help but pinch her chin and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
His kiss was very lingering. He licked her lips tentatively at first, then pried open her teeth, and Xiaoxiao's tongue was entangled by him again.
He was like a traveler walking in the desert, extremely thirsty, almost greedily absorbing the sweetness from her mouth.
Xiaoxiao felt dizzy from his kiss. She fell limply into his arms, her little hands clutching his clothes tightly. Her heart was pounding wildly. She felt his breath was scalding hot, which made her feel hot too.
Pei Xiu Han's kiss was urgent and impatient, as if just kissing was not enough. The hand around her waist was also very tight. He was very strong, and Xiao Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. She tilted her head and couldn't help but "wu".
The girl's sweet voice was like a fuse that directly ignited the fire in Pei Xiuhan's heart. He felt that his already hot body became even hotter.
It was not until one hand reached up and touched the girl's softness that Pei Xiu Han understood what he was longing for. His breathing stopped for a moment, and his heart began to beat faster unconsciously.
Xiaoxiao's body stiffened involuntarily. When she realized what he had touched, her little face turned red, almost bleeding.
She felt a little panicked for no reason and could not help but hold down his rebellious hand, saying in a delicate and charming voice, "Brother."
The girl's eyes were unconsciously filled with moisture, and her chest was heaving violently, making her already beautiful appearance even more charming.
Pei Xiuhan's eyes were a little deep, and he kissed her soothingly, a kiss that was extremely passionate, and fell on her eyes and nose little by little.
