Chapter 88 Husband and wife are one
Pei Jingzhou didn't react for a moment.
Jiang Zhaoyue had already stood up, quickly kissed him on the cheek, and then quickly sat down.
Pei Jingzhou covered his face and looked at her: "Jiang Zhaoyue, you..."
"Second Master, thank you." Jiang Zhaoyue said seriously, "Thank you for what you have done for me. Not only has it improved my reputation, but it also gives me the reason, the confidence, and the means to use your kindness to kick out those two annoying people, Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue."
Seeing this, Pei Jingzhou put down his hand and said, "Husband and wife are one. Your business is my business."
Jiang Zhaoyue hugged Pei Jingzhou's arm, resting her little face on his shoulder like a kitten, rubbing his shoulder and saying sweetly, "Second Master, you are so kind, you are so kind."
Pei Jingzhou smiled.
Jiang Zhaoyue started to praise again: "You are good-looking and have a good body——"
Knowing that she was not serious again, Pei Jingzhou interrupted: "You are talking nonsense again."
Jiang Zhaoyue said sincerely, "I'm serious."
"Can't you be more serious?"
"I'm very serious."
"We were talking about something, and suddenly you kissed me. Is that serious?"
Jiang Zhaoyue raised her face, rested her chin on Pei Jingzhou's shoulder, and looked straight at Pei Jingzhou's clear and handsome face: "Second Master, I am really touched by what you said. I don't know how to say it, I just want to kiss you."
Pei Jingzhou looked over and said, "You're usually very good at talking."
Jiang Zhaoyue said confidently: "But when I am touched, I just want to kiss and hug."
Pei Jingzhou smiled, with a hint of helplessness and a hint of doting in his smile.
Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but sigh: "Second Master, you are so handsome."
Maybe this skin is really good. Pei Jingzhou listens to Jiang Zhaoyue's praise every day. He has become numb and asked: "Can you sit well?"
Jiang Zhaoyue shook her head: "No."
Pei Jingzhou added: "Can't you be a little more obedient?"
Jiang Zhaoyue continued to shake his head: "No."
Pei Jingzhou was not angry: "Then don't eat."
"You still have to use it, otherwise, I'll starve to death. Where can you find another good wife like me who is as beautiful, lovely and delicate as me?" Jiang Zhaoyue said as he let go of Pei Jingzhou and sat up straight.
Pei Jingzhou glanced at her and smiled silently.
Baoxia and others brought the food.
Jiang Zhaoyue was really hungry. He picked up his chopsticks and kept picking up food until he was full. Then he spoke: "Second Master, let's take a walk."
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Pei Jingzhou and walked outside.
"It's not advisable to do strenuous exercise after a meal. Walk slowly." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue slowed down and asked Pei Jingzhou about clearing her name.
Pei Jingzhou told it all.
Jiang Zhaoyue was shocked and said, "You sent someone to steal Jiang Junyi's money and deliberately made him talk nonsense in the brothel?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
"You also let Qin Lu, Qin You and Wang Shi speak well of me everywhere?"
Pei Jingzhou continued to nod.
Jiang Zhaoyue tilted her head and looked at Pei Jingzhou and said, "Second Master, you are a bit bad."
Pei Jingzhou's expression gradually became serious, and he said, "I'm not a good person to begin with."
Jiang Zhaoyue was puzzled.
Pei Jingzhou lowered his head slightly: "I'm not feeling well."
"Have you done anything bad?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "I did."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou fell silent again.
"Is it so difficult to say?" Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue but didn't say anything.
"If you are so conflicted, then you definitely didn't do anything bad on purpose." Jiang Zhaoyue said firmly.
Pei Jingzhou was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Zhaoyue to trust him so much. He felt warm in his heart.
"Can it be salvaged?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou shook his head: "I don't know."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked again: "Are you trying to make amends?"
"I've been trying to fix it, but... I don't know if it will succeed."
"Never mind! Just do it!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"To do things that are true to our conscience, we must be determined to win and overcome all obstacles!"
"What if it fails?"
"If I fail, I fail. What's the big deal?"
Pei Jingzhou slowly lowered his head.
Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't see his expression and felt puzzled.
Pei Jingzhou suddenly raised his eyes and said, "I will not fail."
For some reason, Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly saw the fierceness, tenacity and kingly aura flash in his eyes. She blinked and saw him again, who was cold but gentle. She suspected that she had seen it wrong.
"Go back." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue followed him back.
"Ten days later, let's go together to celebrate the eldest princess' birthday." Pei Jingzhou suddenly said.
"The eldest princess?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise, "She is the emperor's biological sister?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah."
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and asked, "Are we close to her?"
"I..." Pei Jingzhou paused and said, "I'll go there on behalf of the Crown Prince."
"His Royal Highness?" The book didn't mention His Royal Highness, but Jiang Zhaoyue had heard about him, so she asked, "Is His Royal Highness not feeling well?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue had traveled through time and had met Princess Duojia, but hadn't met any other members of the royal family. She couldn't help but wonder, "He can't even get out of bed?"
"Yes." Pei Jingzhou replied.
"Then he can still be the crown prince?"
Pei Jingzhou paused.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Jingzhou pulled Jiang Zhaoyue forward again and said, "Now that the princes in the palace have grown up, the court officials have their own thoughts. Some have even asked the emperor to appoint another prince for the sake of the country and the people, citing the prince's poor health."
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't understand the affairs of the Jin Dynasty's court, but she had studied five thousand years of history.
There are only two paths for the crown prince in every dynasty: either ascend the throne or die.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only son left by Empress Yuan, and is also Pei Jingzhou's cousin. She couldn't help but ask, "Can't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's health be cured?"
"It will be cured one day." Pei Jingzhou said.
It was obvious that Pei Jingzhou was worried, so Jiang Zhaoyue didn't bother him at night.
The next day she was preparing to celebrate the eldest princess' birthday. Wang was so sad about Pei Siyan's matter that she closed herself in the room and copied scriptures, so she went to ask Zhang Siyin.
Although Zhang Siyin came from a village, she had been diligent since childhood and understood all the etiquette and relationships in the capital. She smiled and said, "Second brother, what you did was really clever, and your sister-in-law cooperated well too."
Jiang Zhaoyue was puzzled.
Zhang Siyin smiled and said, "My second brother has overturned my second sister-in-law's reputation, and my second sister-in-law has confirmed her good reputation through Miss Jiang Er and our third sister-in-law. It just so happens that we will attend the eldest princess's birthday banquet in ten days. Everything will go smoothly by then. How wonderful."
"You're right, it's true." Jiang Zhaoyue agreed.
"Just say that my second brother has deep feelings for you."
"Okay, stop teasing me and tell me what I should pay attention to." Jiang Zhaoyue said as he pulled Zhang Siyin's hand.
Zhang Siyin seemed frightened and immediately pulled his hand back.
"Sister-in-law?" Jiang Zhaoyue was puzzled.
Zhang Siyin blushed: "I have to be careful with everything now, and I can't do anything too big."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked puzzledly.
Zhang Siyin reached out and touched her lower abdomen.
