Chapter 127: Hard Happiness
Qingluo?
Pei Jingzhou looked closely and saw that it was Qingluo disguised as a man.
Being recognized, Qingluo had to bow: "Greetings—"
"There are too many people here, so don't salute." Jiang Zhaoyue retorted.
Qing Luo quickly stood up straight and whispered, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
"Come with us." Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Qingluo and was about to leave.
"Princess, I cannot go with you." Qingluo refused in a low voice.
At this time, a drizzle of rain began to fall.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked up at the sky, then looked at Qingluo again: "I know you are looking for your sister."
Qingluo raised her eyes and asked, "Does the Crown Princess have any clues?"
Jiang Zhaoyue shook his head: "No, but I will send someone to help you find it."
Qingluo couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "It's raining, come with us first."
Qingluo didn't want the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to get wet in the rain, so she followed them to a private room on the second floor of a nearby teahouse.
"Sit down." Jiang Zhaoyue followed Pei Jingzhou and sat down, then motioned Qingluo to sit down.
Qingluo did not sit down, but stood and poured tea for the two of them.
"Sit down." Jiang Zhaoyue said helplessly.
Qingluo poured the tea and then slowly sat down.
"Has your sister arrived in the capital?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"I'm not sure, but I received a message from the villagers saying that my brother and sister-in-law have sold my sister." Qingluo lowered her head, her eyes red, and clutched her clothes with both hands, suppressing her heartache. She said, "Jinzhou is close to the capital. My sister might have suffered the same fate as me and ended up in the capital, so I went to ask the trafficker first."
"So you disguised yourself as a man and went to the brothel to look for her?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Qingluo nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue commented: "You are quite brave."
Qingluo told the truth: "That's my sister."
Too.
Some people are so heartless that they sell their own sisters one after another; some people are so affectionate that they are willing to take risks to search for their sisters. Jiang Zhaoyue sighed with emotion: "Well, I just said that I would help you find it and I will arrange it for you."
Pei Jingzhou asked, "I heard you have a portrait of your sister?"
Qingluo was surprised: "How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know this?"
Jiang Zhaoyue explained, "When you left the Zhenguogong Mansion, we thought you would definitely look for your sister first, so we came here from the human traffickers."
Qingluo had to admit: "That's right."
"Show us the portrait." Pei Jingzhou said.
Qingluo took out the portrait.
Pei Jingzhou took a look, opened the door, called the secret guard, let him take a look at the portrait, and then ordered him to go and look for it.
The secret guard retreated immediately.
Pei Jingzhou closed the door and returned the portrait to Qingluo.
"Did the secret guard remember it?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
"So powerful?" If the appearance had no distinctive features, Jiang Zhaoyue would not be able to remember it at all.
"How can you be a secret guard if you are not powerful?" Pei Jingzhou asked back.
"Too."
Qing Luo saw that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were truly helping her find her sister, and she was deeply moved. She immediately stood up and was about to kneel down to them.
Jiang Zhaoyue took the initiative to grab her and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, for your help." Qingluo said.
"If you want to thank us, why don't you go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with us now?" Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Qingluo was silent for a moment, then refused: "Your Highness, Crown Princess, I will not return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Is it because of the Duke's wife?"
Qing Luo shook her head and spoke her mind, "I know that my status is low and I am not worthy of you, sir. I have no intention of climbing up the social ladder. I only hope to find my sister and take care of her for the rest of my life."
"You're not going to care about Xiao Peng anymore?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Qing Luo was silent for a moment, then spoke: "The young master is the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Pei. He has a large number of maids and nannies to take care of him. A girl from the common people... is insignificant."
"This is your idea, but Xiao Peng doesn't think so." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"After seeing the letter you left, Xiao Peng vomited blood and fainted." Pei Jingzhou interrupted.
Qing Luo's face changed, and she asked anxiously, "Three imperial doctors took his pulse last night, and they all said that his pulse had returned to strength after he returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. How could he have vomited blood and fainted? What's wrong with him now?"
Seeing Qingluo caring so much about Pei Jingpeng, Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou looked at each other.
Pei Jingzhou took out the letter written by Qingluo and handed it over.
Qingluo took it and saw the blood on it. Tears of heartache fell on the letter. Without even wiping them away, she raised her eyes and asked, "Your Highness, how is the young master now?"
"Imperial Physician Kong said that if Xiao Peng can be taken care of as before, there will be no problem; if he is depressed, his body will deteriorate little by little." Pei Jingzhou told the truth.
Jiang Zhaoyue added: "He kept calling your name while he was unconscious."
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "He cares about you more than you think."
Qingluo couldn't control her tears and grabbed Jiang Zhaoyue's arm, begging, "Crown Princess, please, please take me to see the young master."
"What happens after you take a look?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Qingluo was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked again: "If you leave again, will he vomit blood again?"
Qingluo was speechless: "I..."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Do you want him to report to the underworld sooner by repeating this several times?"
Pei Jingzhou wanted to say that Jiang Zhaoyue was too direct, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
Qingluo hesitated to speak: "But I..."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "What?"
Qingluo whispered, "I'm just a common woman."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Does Xiao Peng care about this? Has he ever cared about this?"
Qingluo was stunned.
"Don't let inferiority complex blind your eyes." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou continued, "Xiao Peng said you once said you didn't want to wait until you were dying or old to regret not living your life to the fullest. Besides living your life to the fullest, don't you want to live your life to the fullest?"
Qingluo had a hard life. Her parents died early, and her brother and sister-in-law sold her out of spite. She met all kinds of masters and was scolded and beaten.
Many times, I was on the verge of life and death.
But she gritted her teeth and survived.
Now that her life is no longer in danger, why not strive hard for happiness?
She had to be brave and stay with Pei Jingpeng. If there was really no future, it would not be too late to leave.
right!
She needs to be brave!
She suddenly felt a surge of courage in her heart and said solemnly, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, please rest assured. This time when I go back, as long as the young master doesn't chase me away, I won't leave again."
"Aren't you afraid of the Duke's wife?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked with raised lips.
"I'm afraid, but I will still face her!" Qingluo also hangs out in the palace. She thinks she is not very smart, but she can save her life.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and said, "You don't have to face her."
Qingluo was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoyue briefly explained Wang's situation, and then said, "As long as Xiao Peng is willing, the Duke will not oppose you."
Qingluo couldn't believe what she heard.
Pei Jingzhou stood up and said, "Let's go back early, Xiao Peng is still waiting."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Qingluo followed the two out of the teahouse in a daze.
At this time, the rain was so heavy that you couldn't see anyone more than three meters away, and there was no sign of it stopping.
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "Let's go back like this."
Pei Jingzhou was also worried about Pei Jingpeng's condition, so he held up his umbrella and escorted Jiang Zhaoyue and Qingluo to the carriage. He folded his umbrella, got in, and said to the driver, "Let's go."
The carriage drove into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the heavy rain.
The three men got off the carriage.
The driver immediately drove the carriage towards the carriage house.
Jiang Zhaoyue caught a glimpse of a pool of blood on the ground, which was about to disappear under the beating of raindrops. She grabbed Pei Jingzhou's arm and said, "Your Highness!"
Pei Jingzhou followed her gaze to the disappearing blood, then looked at the departing carriage. He immediately said, "You and Qingluo go to Yin'an Garden together."
"No, I want to be with you." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou is the crown prince and Jiang Zhaoyue is the crown princess. The two will definitely face all kinds of things in the future. It is necessary to let Jiang Zhaoyue see more so that she can cope with it better in the future.
He nodded and asked Xiangqiao and others to send Qingluo to Yin'anyuan, while he took Jiang Zhaoyue to the carriage house.
The driver has left.
There were more than a dozen empty carriages in the carriage house, of various sizes.
Pei Jingzhou took Jiang Zhaoyue's hand, stopped the wet carriage, and said, "Come out."
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "I've seen you bleed."
Suddenly, a man in black flew out from under the carriage, holding a dagger in his hand, and stabbed Pei Jingzhou.
