Chapter 93 Take her out of the palace for me
Pei Jingzhou slowly walked to the bedside, squatted down a little bit, stretched out his trembling hand, and gently stroked the prince's forehead, just like when he was a child, calling: "Xiao Peng."
The prince responded, "Yes."
Pei Jingzhou looked at Pei Jingpeng's emaciated appearance and asked in a hoarse voice, "Does it hurt?"
Pei Jingpeng responded: "Yes."
A tear rolled down from the corner of Pei Jingzhou's eye.
Pei Jingpeng's pure eyes instantly overflowed with worry, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Crown Prince, don't worry, I, I, only, only feel a little pain, that's all."
Pei Jingzhou quickly reached out and wiped away the tears, saying with difficulty: "Hold on a little longer, hold on a few more days, and I'll take you out of the palace."
Pei Jingpeng responded obediently: "Okay, I insist. Prince cousin, you, don't be anxious, take your time."
Pei Jingzhou was extremely anxious, but he pretended to be calm and nodded.
Pei Jingpeng slowed down and spoke again: "Brother Crown Prince, I have something to ask of you."
Pei Jingzhou said: "You say."
Pei Jingpeng turned his head to look at the bedside and said, "Did you see the palace maid who was at the head of my bed just now?" He was too weak and had to break each sentence into several parts before he could speak it.
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "I saw it."
Pei Jingpeng said, "Her name is Qingluo. Both her parents died, and her brother and sister-in-law sold her to a trafficker. After a long journey, she entered the palace and luckily entered the Eastern Palace. She has always taken good care of me, but she is always worried about her sister outside the palace, worried that she will be sold as well."
Pei Jingzhou looked at him and said, "You like her."
Pei Jingpeng's pure eyes were filled with joy as he confessed, "Well, I like her, I really like her. I promised to help her find her sister, but I'm afraid I can't hold on—"
"Don't talk nonsense." Pei Jingzhou interrupted him.
Pei Jingpeng said, "I'm talking about what might happen."
"Nothing like that." Pei Jingzhou said decisively.
Pei Jingpeng looked at Pei Jingzhou quietly, with helplessness in his eyes.
Pei Jingzhou couldn't bear it, so he said, "You talk, brother is listening."
Pei Jingpeng curled his eyes and continued, "If I can't hold on any longer and leave like this... my cousin the Crown Prince, take her out of the palace for me, help her find her sister, and make sure she marries a good man and isn't bullied by others, okay?"
"Okay." Pei Jingzhou agreed immediately: "I will take you all out of the palace, and you go help her find her sister."
Pei Jingpeng was helpless, but did not refute: "As for father and mother——"
Pei Jingzhou retorted: "Go and show your filial piety to them yourself."
Filial piety?
Pei Jingpeng's eyes were full of longing, but then he thought of something and his eyes dimmed again.
Pei Jingzhou felt heartbroken and tried his best to control his emotions: "Xiao Peng, I'm sorry, I'm sorry——"
"No, I'm not sorry. If it weren't for my cousin, the Crown Prince, I don't know how many times I would have died. If it weren't for my aunt risking her life, the Zhenguo Mansion would have been gone long ago. It's us who are useless and have implicated you and your aunt." Pei Jingpeng's eyes were moist. "I can do something for you. I feel, I feel that I am very useful."
Pei Jingzhou looked at him and said, "You are very useful. You are a very useful person."
Pei Jingpeng curled his eyes again.
Pei Jingzhou said: "So, we must hold on, ten days, no, eight days will be enough."
"Yes." Pei Jingpeng looked at Pei Jingzhou firmly: "I will wait for my cousin, the Crown Prince, to return to the Eastern Palace and take that position, so that loyal ministers will be loyal and treacherous ministers will be exposed."
Pei Jingzhou said firmly: "Yes, I will, you have to hold on."
persist in.
Just hold on.
But Pei Jingpeng was too tired. He closed his eyes to rest for a while, then opened them again: "Well, I can hold on."
Pei Jingzhou looked at Pei Jingpeng for a long time, then slowly stood up and walked out of the bedroom.
The palace maid Qingluo immediately went in to guard.
Pei Jingzhou glanced at her and said nothing.
The eldest princess and others were waiting in the main hall.
"Lord Pei, how is the Crown Prince?" Princess Duojia stepped forward and asked.
Pei Jingzhou replied: "Your Highness is tired and wants to sleep for a while."
"What did Brother Yi say to you?" asked the eldest princess.
Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and said, "His Highness said that he missed his childhood when he could run and jump... He said he wanted to stand up and walk upright."
When the eldest princess heard this, she covered her face and cried bitterly.
The eldest princess hurried to comfort her.
Xiao Zinan pretended to be sad, but he was actually thinking about the dying person. He liked to reminisce about the past. Now that the prince was really going to die, he was very happy.
Luo Yuwei pretended to be very sad.
Jiang Zhaoyue saw Pei Jingzhou's sadness and quietly walked to his side.
Pei Jingzhou turned his head and looked over.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded at him to comfort him.
Pei Jingzhou felt a little warm in his heart, and he stood there watching the eldest princess slowly recover her mood.
But it was inconvenient for him to stay in the East Palace for long, so he bowed to the eldest princess according to etiquette, as a way of congratulating her on her birthday. Then he glanced at Xiao Zinan and said to Jiang Zhaoyue, "Let's go back."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
The two got on the carriage.
The carriage quickly drove out of the palace.
Jiang Zhaoyue let out a slow breath. Seeing Pei Jingzhou's rare sadness, she sat down in front of him and held his hand.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"You can tell me about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"I..." Pei Jingzhou didn't know how to start.
Jiang Zhaoyue guided him: "You two had a very good relationship when you were young."
"Very good, very good." Pei Jingzhou paused and shook Jiang Zhaoyue's hand again: "Wait a little longer, wait a few days, and I'll talk to you properly, okay?"
Jiang Zhaoyue agreed with him: "Okay, you can tell me whenever you want."
Pei Jingzhou slowed down and called out, "Zhaoyue."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue responded.
"Can we postpone the move for a few days?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"Okay." Pei Siyan and Wang were too good at causing trouble, so Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou both wanted to move out of the house. Now that Pei Siyan had gone to the farm and Wang was copying scriptures at home, Jiang Zhaoyue was not in a hurry to move out.
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
"Am I good?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"Very good." Pei Jingzhou suddenly hugged Jiang Zhaoyue and buried his handsome face in her neck.
Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not live long, or perhaps it is something else... In short, Jiang Zhaoyue sensed that Pei Jingzhou was worried, so she did not bother him like before.
After returning to Linhuayuan, the two changed their clothes.
Pei Jingzhou said: "I want to go see my father."
"Is father at home?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"I'll go take a look."
"I'll go with you to pay my respects, and then I'll go see my sister-in-law."
Pei Jingzhou thought about it and nodded.
The two of them came to Songqing Hall together, only to find out that Pei Maokun had not come to Songqing Hall. When they were about to go to the martial arts training ground to take a look, Pei Maokun, wearing official uniform, with a serious expression on his face, walked towards them hurriedly.
"Father." Jiang Zhaoyue called out.
Pei Maokun saw Jiang Zhaoyue and the other two, his eyes fell on Pei Jingzhou, and he immediately asked, "Have you been to the East Palace?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "I went."
Pei Maokun glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue, as if he had some concerns, and said to Pei Jingzhou: "Do you know about the prince's situation?"
"I know. He's in a very bad condition."
Pei Maokun asked, "Do you know that the emperor is also in a bad condition?"
