Chapter 102 Whose Wife
"Zhaoyue!" Pei Jingzhou pulled Jiang Zhaoyue into his arms.
Jiang Zhaoyue narrowly dodged a flying knife. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a second flying knife following closely behind. She immediately exclaimed, "Second Master! Be careful!"
The moment Pei Jingzhou saw a flying knife shot towards Jiang Zhaoyue, his mind and eyes were full of protecting Jiang Zhaoyue. He never expected that Xiao Zinan would shoot two flying knives in succession. He quickly hugged Jiang Zhaoyue and turned sideways.
The second flying knife cut through Pei Jingzhou's sleeve with a "hiss" and hit the bedpost with a "bang".
"Your Highness!"
"Second Master!"
"Brother Yi!"
"Your Highness!"
Everything happened in a flash. The silver-helmeted guards had not expected that the Third Prince would suddenly resort to such a shady trick at this time. They quickly rushed over to grab Xiao Zinan, while Hong Qidi and others hurried forward to check on Pei Jingzhou.
"No problem, no problem." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue pulled his arm and said, "It's bleeding. Can the imperial physician check if there's any poison?"
"Yes." Imperial Physician Sun hurried forward to examine Pei Jingzhou's wound, then checked the blades of the flying knives. He then said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, these two are just ordinary flying knives, not coated with poison."
Emperor Hong Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhaoyue said directly: "I was scared to death."
Pei Jingzhou said softly: "It's okay."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Emperor Hong Qi looked at Xiao Zinan lying on the ground.
"I should have coated it with deadly poison, so that it would kill anyone on sight of blood!" Xiao Zinan had lived too smoothly these years, and he confidently believed that the throne was in his pocket. Even the flying knives he prepared had no killing power. He regretted it very much now.
"He has no repentance! Take him away and put him in jail!" Emperor Hong Qi said angrily.
"Yes." The silver-helmeted guards took Xiao Zinan and the others away.
The prince's bedroom finally became quiet.
Imperial Physician Sun carefully bandaged Pei Jingzhou's wound.
"Hmm..." A sound suddenly came from the bed.
Pei Jingzhou immediately rushed to the bedside: "Xiao Peng!"
"Your Highness, it hasn't been bandaged yet." said Imperial Physician Sun.
Pei Jingzhou ignored his own injuries and leaned over to see the pale person on the bed.
Pei Jingpeng opened his eyes with difficulty and opened his mouth, but still no sound came out.
Pei Jingzhou smiled: "Xiao Peng, you made it through."
Pei Jingpeng was slightly startled, and his gaze slowly moved from Pei Jingzhou to Qingluo beside the bed.
No matter how dangerous the surroundings were, Qingluo didn't care. She stayed by Pei Jingpeng's side, praying to God over and over again in her heart to help Pei Jingpeng survive, until she heard Pei Jingpeng make a slight sound again.
Her tears flowed down.
She didn't know how many tears she had shed for Pei Jingpeng, but this time they were tears of joy. She nodded at Pei Jingpeng while crying and laughing.
Pei Jingpeng turned to Pei Jingzhou again and smiled instantly, as clear, bright and warm as the sky after rain.
"Don't think about anything now, just take good care of yourself." Pei Jingzhou said gently.
Pei Jingpeng blinked and closed his eyes tiredly.
Pei Jingzhou turned to look at Emperor Hong Qi: "Father."
Emperor Hong Qi glanced at Pei Jingzhou's arm.
"It's okay." Pei Jingzhou said.
Emperor Hong Qi nodded and said, "Okay, change your clothes and follow me to meet the ministers."
"yes."
Emperor Hong Qi walked out.
Xiao Congbei and others followed.
"Someone, come and clean up this place." Pei Jingzhou said.
Palace servants immediately dragged the body away and cleaned the ground.
Pei Jingzhou re-bandaged the wound, then chose a crimson purple round-necked python robe from Pei Jingpeng's wardrobe and put it on. The lining was moon-white plain silk, and he tied a leather jade belt around his waist, looking noble and elegant.
Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise Pei Jingzhou in her heart as a clothes hanger.
Pei Jingzhou walked up to her and said, "Don't worry, stay here. I'll be back when I'm done."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Pei Jingzhou tilted his head and called out, "Qingluo."
"Yes." Qingluo quickly wiped away her tears, stood up, and walked over respectfully.
Pei Jingzhou said: "Arrange a bedroom for the Crown Princess to rest."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Find two more attentive maids to serve."
"As you command."
"Thank you for your hard work." Pei Jingzhou said.
Qingluo was just a little palace maid. She had never expected to receive the word "hard work" from the real prince. She was stunned for a moment, then thought of the relationship between the prince and Pei Jingpeng. She was moved: "This is what a slave should do."
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "If you need anything, just tell the palace maid."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Pei Jingzhou said, "Pei Jing will stay here to serve you."
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "No, on your side——"
Pei Jingzhou said first: "There is no danger here anymore."
Jiang Zhaoyue no longer refused: "Okay."
"Then I'm leaving."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Pei Jingzhou walked away.
Qing Luo walked up to the imperial physician and said, "Imperial Physician Sun, please go back later and help look after the Crown Prince and Second Young Master Pei. I'll be back in a moment."
Imperial Physician Sun had witnessed the dramatic drama between the royal family and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and was terrified. Even if he wanted to leave, his legs wouldn't obey him. He nodded immediately, "Okay, okay."
Qingluo then said to Jiang Zhaoyue, "Madam Xi, please follow me."
Jiang Zhaoyue followed Qingluo out of the bedroom and came to a comfortable room.
"Madam Xi, please stay here for a while. I will send someone to bring you a change of clothes and food later."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Qingluo bowed and turned to leave.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked around the room.
Qingluo quickly came over with two palace maids, bringing new clothes, food, etc.
"Madam Xi, Master Pei needs someone by his side. If you don't have any other instructions, Hongcao and Hongyao will serve you here. I will take my leave first." Qingluo said.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded, knowing that Qingluo was worried about Pei Jingpeng.
Qingluo left in a hurry.
Hongcao and Hongyao served with all their heart and soul.
Jiang Zhaoyue felt that the palace maids provided better service than the maids in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She gave them a five-star rating in her heart, then changed her clothes and ate something, and then began to feel sleepy.
With nothing to do, she lay down on the bed and took a nap.
But what happened recently was beyond her imagination. She couldn't sleep well and soon opened her eyes.
"Madam Xi, Princess Duojia requests to see you." Hongcao walked in quietly at this time.
"Princess Duojia?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"yes."
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Please ask her to come in."
"yes."
Jiang Zhaoyue stood up and walked to the round table.
Princess Duojia just came in.
"Princess." Jiang Zhaoyue called.
Princess Duojia opened her mouth and said, "Lord Pei is my eldest brother!"
Jiang Zhaoyue asked back: "Have you heard about it?"
"Yes, my father has already announced it." Princess Duojia said.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
"How did Lord Pei become my eldest brother's?" asked Princess Duojia.
Jiang Zhaoyue still had only a vague understanding of the matter, and she couldn't explain it to Princess Duojia. She sat down at the round table and said, "I don't know."
Princess Duojia sat down and asked, "What's the matter with the fake prince?"
Jiang Zhaoyue poured a bowl of tea: "I don't know."
Princess Duojia frowned: "How come you don't know anything?"
"Because I just don't know." Jiang Zhaoyue picked up the tea bowl and drank water.
Princess Duojia thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you know whose daughter-in-law you are?"
