After Eunuch Zhao left, Pei Yan returned to his bedroom with the two imperial edicts.
Emperor Xiaocheng gave many rewards, including houses, fields, and hilltops, as well as boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and silks.
At this time, all the gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins were placed in the front yard. Butler Pei was checking the reward list one by one and putting them into the warehouse.
Song Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wanted to go to the warehouse to take a look.
But as soon as she stepped out of the door, the scorching sun instantly steamed her into a bright red and ripe crab.
As she was about to step out of the door, Song Huan retracted her steps and turned back to walk into the room, bumping into Pei Yan who had followed her out of the door.
It was not known whether this guy had just taken a shower or his body temperature was slow to warm up, but as soon as Song Huan touched him, he could feel a refreshing coolness emanating from his body.
She stretched out her arms, hugged the man's thin waist and began to rub it, muffled voice said: "It's too hot outside, I don't want to go out."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go." Pei Yan said in a hoarse voice.
But Song Huan's rubbing had set his body on fire, and his patience was already on the verge of breaking. It seemed that he had to leave the house this afternoon.
But before that, Pei Yan had to tell Song Huan something: "Huan Huan, in three days, you must come with me to the palace for a banquet."
Song Huan paused, feeling uneasy.
"Going to the palace for a banquet?"
She raised her head and looked at Pei Yan: "Do you really have to go?"
"This time..." Pei Yan paused, "I must go."
"Madam, do you still remember the man in black from the Shengyuan Teahouse in Ning County?"
Pei Yan said, "Their true identities are the Xuanwei trained by the old emperor, and they directly obey the old emperor's orders."
"And there's Yuan Mengxian who appeared at Shengyuan Teahouse that day. He's the second son of the Yuan family, and his elder brother, Yuan Boyi, is a member of the Xuanwei."
After hearing what Pei Yan said, Song Huan remembered some of the contents in the book.
Xuanwei is also mentioned in the book, in the second half.
This organization called "Xuanwei" first appeared around the time when the fourth prince Chu Xun ascended the throne and married Cui Yuning as his queen.
Pei Yan finished speaking, and seeing that Song Huan seemed to be thinking about writing something, he frowned and asked, "Madam, did you dream of 'Xuan Wei' or Yuan Mengxian?"
Song Huan once said that she could dream about the future. Pei Yan originally thought that she was just dreaming that they might encounter disasters in the future and was worried.
However, Pei Yan only realized today that he might have thought too little.
What his wife saw in her dream was probably much more than he thought...
For example, the Fourth Prince and the young lady from the Cui family, Xuan Wei and Yuan Mengxian, they must have appeared in his wife's dreams.
How could Song Huan not hear the jealousy in these words, but the jealousy was so strong that she didn't even want to coax him anymore.
"Hmm?" Pei Yan narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Who are you dreaming about?"
“Actually, I haven’t dreamed about anything lately!”
For the sake of family harmony, Song Huan decisively explained: "...these are all things I dreamed about before, and some of them are different from what I dreamed about."
The current trajectory of everything is very different from the plot in the book she has read.
If Pei Yan asked her what would happen in the future, she would probably be unable to answer.
"You told me about the man in black, is it related to the palace banquet in three days?"
Pei Yan calmed down after hearing this and nodded, "Yes."
"The old emperor established the Xuanwei fifteen years ago. During these fifteen years, the Xuanwei gradually grew in strength. Before I returned to the capital last year, it already had over five hundred members."
Song Huan heard the key point and couldn't help but ask, "What about after my husband returns to the capital?"
Pei Yan: "The Xuanwei have repeatedly attempted to assassinate me, so naturally there will be some casualties. By the time I left the capital, there were less than 400 of them."
This time in Ning County, Song Huan remembered that there were at least a hundred men in black.
She blinked, "So, my husband, have you offended all the powerful families in the capital?"
Among the Xuanwei, eight out of ten are descendants of the side branches of aristocratic families.
Pei Yan's eyelids flickered uncomfortably. He had already offended all the powerful people in the capital who he could offend. Those dead men in black were just another thing to offend.
"When I returned to the capital yesterday, I discovered that the number of secret guards outside the Marquis's residence increased by twice as much as last year."
Pei Yan lowered his eyes to look at Song Huan: "If the old emperor wants to attack me at the palace banquet, Huanhuan, it will not be safe for you to stay in the mansion."
It would be better for her to stay by his side and let him protect her all the time.
Song Huan understood that if the old emperor wanted to kill Pei Yan, everyone in Pei Hou Mansion would not be able to escape death.
"But how did my husband know that the old emperor would harm you at the palace banquet?"
Song Huan frowned, "Hasn't he...hasn't he always wanted to get my husband's military token? As long as he doesn't get it, my husband should be fine, right?"
"I, your husband, have my own way of finding out about this matter. After the palace banquet is over, I can tell you who that person is. As for the military token—"
Pei Yan paused at this point and said, "The old emperor is greedy. That's why he wants to destroy the Pei family and take over the Pei family army for his own use..."
If Emperor Xiaocheng had not been so greedy, he would have killed him directly when he was young.
In this way, although the Pei family army will not submit to him, there will be no one to succeed the Pei family, and the Pei family army will eventually become a mess.
"Perhaps the old emperor has figured it out."
Understand that you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Therefore, even if he cannot obtain the Pei family army's military token this time, he will probably still take Pei Yan's life.
After hearing what Pei Yan said, Song Huan's face became as red as a bun due to worry.
She tapped the system, wanting to know if Pei Yan would really be in danger this time when he entered the palace?
But the system told her that the "Dangerous Event Warning" coupon could only warn of dangerous events within 24 hours.
The palace banquet was three days away, outside its warning range. Furthermore, Song Huan was currently in Marquis Pei's residence, and what was happening in the palace was beyond its warning range...
Song Huan: "I can only be warned once I enter the palace. What's the point of this 'Dangerous Event Warning' coupon?"
The system replied coldly, "Dear, you can choose not to use it."
"..." Song Huan angrily closed the system dialogue.
"My husband, do you have any way to deal with this?" Song Huan asked after calming down for a moment.
"Yes." Pei Yan rubbed Song Huan's sullen face and comforted her, "If I didn't have a plan to deal with it, why would I tell my wife about this?"
Song Huan: "..." She believed this guy for once.
…
Soon, Pei Shen's voice came from outside the courtyard again. It was Pei Xi who brought lunch.
Song Huan thought of the Master Li’s breakfast he had eaten that morning, and his face suddenly became hopeless.
There was no change in Pei Yan's expression, but he ate lunch very perfunctorily, taking only two bites of vegetables and then leaving.
Just now, seeing Song Huan's depressed look, Pei Yan couldn't help but feel distressed.
But the capital is different from Ning County, and now is not the time for Butler Pei to hire a cook.
"What would you like to eat, my lady?" Pei Yan asked, "I'm going out of the house soon. Could you bring me some food?"
Song Huan shook her head. Master Li’s food was not tasty, but she couldn’t eat it not only because the food was not tasty, but also because the weather was too hot. She really had no appetite.
At this moment, she was thinking about the "Happy Fat House Water" very badly, but it was a pity that she could no longer drink it...
"No need to bring anything, nothing at all." Song Huan said dully.
Pei Yan: “…”
This character of not eating anything is unlike his wife...
He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch Song Huan's forehead. It wasn't hot.
"My lady, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine."
As Song Huan spoke, he held Pei Yan's cool hand and dragged him to the corner of the room where the ice basin was placed. Sure enough, he saw that the ice in the basin had melted into a pool of water.
"No wonder I felt the room was getting hot." Song Huan let go of Pei Yan and squatted down to study the water in the ice basin.
The water is a bit turbid and obviously cannot be drunk directly.
If she wanted to make cold drinks, she had to first make a mold for freezing small ice cubes, then pour clean water into the mold, and then put it into the ice cellar to freeze it into small ice cubes... Song Huan sighed deeply, what a complicated project.
Song Huan had to put his idea of using ice to make herbal tea on hold.
"What are you going out to do, my husband?"
Song Huan put his hand in the still cool water and shook it. "Don't delay important matters. Go quickly. If I get hungry later, I'll go make two dishes for myself."
Pei Yan's eyes suddenly tightened when he heard this, "It is indeed an important matter."
Although he said this, his eyes were fixed on Song Huan and he did not move his feet, with no intention of leaving at all.
Song Huan stared at his motionless toes and couldn't help but stand up and look at him: "Husband, is there anything else?"
Pei Yan looked straight at Song Huan and took a deep breath: "Madam, do you really not need me to bring back food?"
Song Huan shook his head: "No need."
Pei Yan lowered his eyes: "Alright, then, I will leave."
"Well, go ahead." Song Huan nodded and watched him go.
Pei Yan's thin lips moved, but he said nothing more in the end, turned around and walked away.
When he left, he kept looking back, his eyes seemed to be fixed on Song Huan.
Song Huan: "..." Why does this guy look at her like a heartless person?
"Go with peace of mind." Song Huan's mouth twitched. He didn't understand what this guy was doing. He could only wave at him and said, "I'll see you back tonight."
Pei Yan pursed his lips and stepped out of the bedroom.
Song Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish, the man who had just left suddenly turned around and came back.
Song Huan was startled: "You... forgot to bring something?"
Pei Yan looked at her and responded softly, then walked behind the screen and took out a small wooden box from the cage.
Before leaving, he looked at Song Huan deeply again.
Song Huan was confused: "..."
Why is this guy suddenly acting weird?
"That little wooden box seems familiar..."
As she was muttering this, she saw someone coming back again...
"What did you forget to bring again?"
Song Huan walked up to him and asked with her dark eyes flashing, "My dear husband... do you want me to take you out of the house?"
This guy is not a forgetful person. No matter how dumb Song Huan is, he can't fail to notice his intention.
However, Song Huan still overestimated Pei Yan's thoughts.
He didn't want Song Huan to escort him out of the house, but rather - "Madam, can you accompany me out?"
Pei Yan's voice was deep and cold. Although it was a question, he used a tone that did not allow for rejection.
Song Huan suddenly understood the meaning behind the man's words.
"Okay." She couldn't help but smile.
She had actually believed how calm and composed he was when he found out where she came from... Turns out, he was just hiding it very deeply.
The author has something to say: Some people appear calm and composed on the surface, but are actually very panicked inside.
Jinjin: The flag is standing!
