Song Huan's hand, which was drawing circles, suddenly stopped.
An old acquaintance? Of course not.
But she cared so much about a young lady she didn't know, so she should have found a suitable reason to explain...
"I don't recognize the young lady from the Cui family."
Song Huan's hand rested on Pei Yan's lower back, and he didn't move. He looked up and said, "I've heard a little bit about it."
"Last March, when Cui Yushi's family encountered trouble, my husband had not yet returned to the capital."
"I'm afraid you don't know that this matter is no secret in the capital. Even the old ladies in the alleys will gossip about it. Although I haven't been to the banquets held by the noble ladies in the capital, I am not so closed-minded. I do know some things."
Pei Yan snorted softly upon hearing this. "Those banquets in the capital are so boring. It's better for you not to go."
Song Huan: “…”
This guy's focus is as strange as ever.
She was trying so hard to explain, but he said the party was boring...
"However, when I return to the capital this time, I believe many people will send invitations to my residence."
Pei Yan added, "If my lady is willing to go sit for a while, I will accompany you."
Song Huan understood after hearing this. It turned out that this guy wanted to help her regain the face she had lost before.
But wouldn't this just cause trouble for him?
It is easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.
At least half of the letters sent to Pei Hou Mansion were ill-intentioned.
Song Huan's fingers began to draw circles on Pei Yan's lower back again. "I don't really like going to those banquets. Besides, if I really go back to Beijing, I'll be busy."
"Uncle Qin gave me Baoyun Street, and now he has asked Qin Zhi to help manage it. I will start the next step after I return."
Although she has decided to stay with Pei Yan, there is no reason for her to refuse the money she has earned.
Besides, having money gives you confidence.
What if Pei Yan changes his mind one day?
Isn't it that now he is beating around the bush with her because of the heroine in the book?
After going around in circles with her, he still didn't tell her whether the woman killed by Chen Feng was Miss Cui...
But Song Huan didn't need to ask any further.
The fact that this guy deliberately concealed the truth just proves that the heroine in the book is still alive and well.
As for what happened in the central army tent... I'm afraid it was to provoke the Fourth Prince and get him to kill Chen Feng...
Song Huan still remembered that in the book, the cannon fodder general who wanted to humiliate the heroine was killed by Pei Yan, and the cannon fodder general in the book was the second prince's man.
I wonder if it's this Chen Feng? After all, he's just cannon fodder, and Song Huan doesn't remember it clearly.
But no matter who he is, he will definitely take revenge on the Fourth Prince after learning about this.
Song Huan was happy to see the infighting within the royal family.
This way... she and Pei Yan can spend more time together.
Thinking of this, Song Huan suddenly didn't want to return to the capital so soon.
"Husband, we still have to stay in Ning County for a while, right?"
Although the Hu army retreated temporarily, unlike the secret assassination by the Fourth Prince in the book, their leader was hacked to death by Pei Yan himself on the battlefield in front of tens of thousands of soldiers... This hatred was huge.
Once they elect a new leader among themselves, the first thing they will probably do is send troops to Da Chu to avenge their old leader.
Song Huan thought that they would have to stay in Ning County for at least one or two years.
"Three months."
Pei Yan, however, gave a time that surprised Song Huan, "No more than half a year."
At the same time, he grabbed Song Huan's hand that was wandering freely on his waist, his breath a little disordered, "Huan Huan, if you move again, I can't guarantee what will happen next..."
Song Huan: "..." I'm so scared.
She swallowed all the questions on the tip of her tongue and closed her eyes obediently, "Stop moving around, let's go to sleep."
"..." Pei Yan's heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable emotion, and his face darkened.
He really couldn't imagine that Huanhuan would stop asking questions just because she didn't want to get close to him...
Song Huan was really tired.
This time, it didn't take long for me to close my eyes before I fell into a deep sleep.
In the past, Song Huan was a restless sleeper, tossing and turning.
A few days ago, when Pei Yan came back late, he always saw her lying on the couch, only half covered with a quilt, with a pair of small feet restlessly exposed outside.
There were times when he covered himself with the quilt properly, but that time Song Huan wrapped himself in the quilt so tightly that he fell off the bed with a bang.
Pei Yan heard the noise as soon as he entered the tent. He was startled and hurried to the bedside. He saw that the person was still sleeping soundly, as if the person who fell out of the bed was not her...
At that time, he could only pick her up and put her on the bed, cover her with the quilt again, and then lie down to rest.
But tonight, maybe because he knew there was someone next to him, Song Huan slept much more soundly.
But for Pei Yan, it was even more difficult.
The woman's soft and sweet body pressed tightly against him, her light breath falling on his shoulder, even and long, yet too hot, so hot that it seemed as if Pei Yan's whole body was put into a furnace and burned... He was dying, and the long night was unbearable.
Pei Yan didn't know when he fell asleep, but as soon as the morning hour arrived, he opened his eyes as usual. The red veins in his eyes could not be hidden, and it was obvious that he had not slept well...
But Song Huan was still sleeping soundly.
Pei Yan smoothed the loose hair on her forehead, kissed her forehead with his slightly cool lips, and then stood up and walked out of the tent.
Pei Chen and Pei Shen were already waiting for him outside the tent.
"The Fourth Prince just took his men away from the medicine tent a quarter of an hour ago. Master, would you like to see them off?"
When Pei Shen reported to Pei Yan, he deliberately emphasized the word "send", and it was obvious that this sentence had another meaning.
Pei Yan didn't answer for a moment, and after a moment's silence, he said, "No, let's hold our troops for now."
Pei Chen and Pei Shen exchanged a glance, puzzled for a moment: "Master, what do you mean..."
Pei Yan's eyes were deep. "Pay close attention to the person's movements. As long as he's not dead, it's fine. As for the Fourth Prince Chu Xun, if his people find his whereabouts, it wouldn't hurt to reveal a little to him."
"Yes, master." Pei Shen and Pei Chen responded in unison.
…
Two days after the Fourth Prince left the military camp, Pei Yan also took Song Huan on a carriage and set off for home.
The road was bumpy, Song Huan's body swayed with the car body, and his eyes closed involuntarily.
Before leaving the military camp, she didn't find a chance to ask Pei Yan if he could find a small rock on which to write...
The lesson plan for "taking the arrowhead" was not finished, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to come back, so she went to the medicine account yesterday and asked someone to borrow a whole piece of pig skin from the kitchen. Then, she drew a rough picture on rice paper and demonstrated it in front of Doctor Qin and others in an unskilled manner.
But because she broke down the steps and performed them one by one, and she didn't move the hands on people, Song Huan felt much more relaxed, and the whole process went relatively smoothly.
Finally, she told the doctors that the most important thing is practice.
The more you do it, the more you understand the human body structure and the more you know how to measure, and the fewer mistakes you will make.
Song Huan didn't know that because of her word "practice", there was an extremely short supply of pig skin in the military camp for quite a long time.
But at this moment, Song Huan was drowsy and his eyes were blurry.
She used too much information from the "Medical Knowledge Cards" yesterday, so she needed to sleep for six or seven hours to get enough sleep.
However, this morning, before dawn, she was awakened by Pei Yan.
Song Huan's whole body was pressed against the corner of the carriage wall, his head was shaking, and he was about to fall into a deep sleep.
Who would have thought that just when she was about to fall asleep, the carriage suddenly jolted violently, and her head hit the wall of the carriage. The pain was so severe that tears instantly came to her eyes.
"Hiss—" Song Huan cried out in pain, and reached out to rub his head gently.
At this moment, Pei Yan was lifting the curtain to instruct Pei Shen to drive the carriage slower. In the blink of an eye, Song Huan was poisoned by the carriage.
He quickly turned around and said with a displeased expression, "When we get back to the mansion, I'll have someone nail thick blankets to the walls of the carriage."
Song Huan: “???”
"Don't." Song Huan never expected that even though she was the one who got hit on the head, she would still have to counsel Pei Yan.
"It's going to be hot soon. If you nail some thick blankets on the carriage, it will be so hot when you go out."
"Actually, I wouldn't hit my head when riding in a carriage normally, but I'm just a little sleepy today."
As Song Huan spoke, his eyelids moved again.
She was so sleepy that she felt confused and didn't even feel the pain from the place she had just bumped into.
She lowered her hands and forced herself to look at Pei Yan with wide eyes. She felt as if the person in front of her had doubled, as if there were two Pei Yans overlapping in front of her...
"Pei Yanyan..." Song Huan blinked, "Can you hold me?"
“…”
Pei...Yanyan?
Pei Yan's face turned dark and red. This woman...why does she keep calling his name all day long?
Song Huan had already stretched out his arms towards him, as if waiting to be hugged by him.
Pei Yan was so angry that he laughed. He grabbed the person with his big hand and held him in his arms. He said helplessly, "Go to sleep peacefully. I'll call you when we get to the mansion."
"Yeah." Song Huan responded softly, put his arms around his waist, and closed his eyes with relief.
"Huanhuan..." Pei Yan called her, wanting to tell her about his meeting with those people from the Pei family army.
But Song Huan didn't respond to him. He looked down and saw that the person had fallen asleep.
Pei Yan couldn't help but frown. Is he really that sleepy?
…
Following Pei Yan's instructions, Pei Shen slowed down the carriage and it was already noon when he arrived at the mansion.
But Song Huan... still didn't wake up.
Pei Yan felt a faint sense of unease and called over Butler Pei, "Send someone to call the doctor."
Butler Pei already knew about Chen Ji's visit and didn't ask any further questions. He immediately sent someone out to invite someone after receiving the order.
But he still looked into the yard with some concern, "What happened to Madam?"
Pei Yan pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed. "Huanhuan has been very sleepy lately. Several military doctors have examined him, but they all said there's nothing wrong with him."
Butler Pei's eyes widened when he heard this. "When did the master let someone show it to the lady?"
Pei Yan said in a deep voice: "Half a month ago."
Butler Pei clapped his hands, his face showing joy: "Master, according to my guess, Madam is sleepy... perhaps she is pregnant?"
"...Are you, are you pregnant?" Pei Yan was suddenly stunned.
"Yes, Master."
Butler Pei was a little excited. If the lady was really pregnant, then their Pei family would have a young master.
"Perhaps it's still early, so the military doctors couldn't feel the pulse for a while. But now another half month has passed, this time we can ask a doctor to feel the pulse, maybe they can find out the pulse!"
At this time, Song Huan, who was suspected by Butler Pei to be pregnant, finally woke up.
She looked at the bed beneath her and the furnishings in the room, and knew that she should have returned to the mansion.
But why didn't Pei Yan wake her up?
He carried her back to his tent during the military campaign, and then brought her back to his bedroom when he returned to his residence...
If you don’t know her, you might think she is very delicate... Doesn’t she have any dignity?
Song Huan sighed and got off the bed. He put on his slippers and walked out of the room, and saw a tall and graceful man standing at the gate of the courtyard.
"Pei Yan, why didn't you wake me up?" Song Huan shouted from a distance.
