Chapter 247 Are we... still going to get married?
Changed posture.
Pei Jingxu's eyes widened in surprise. He glanced at the man, but finally nodded. "What do you want to ask?"
She had actually already thought about it.
Whether it was asking her about the deception she had endured for so long, or the weakness and pain she acted out.
Pei Jingxu would answer truthfully.
——After all, she is no longer in the capital, so there is no point in relying on Rong Jianxue.
However, answering truthfully does not prove that Pei Jingxu regrets it.
If she had the chance to do it again, she would still choose to deceive him, seduce him, and use him to achieve her own goals without hesitation.
If there is anything that needs to be reflected upon——
Pei Jingxu would be more cautious and find an opportunity to bite Bai Shutong. He would not let go until he bit her to death.
She has always been clear about her purpose. She doesn't care and won't feel guilty for deceiving Rong Jianxue.
——Maybe there is, but that little bit of guilt is not enough to hinder her plans.
Now that all his schemes and disguises have been exposed, Pei Jingxu never feels that he has done anything wrong.
Maybe Pei Jingxu is indeed cut out to be the vicious female supporting role.
Thinking this in his heart, Pei Jingxu looked up at Rong Jianxue seriously.
She was prepared to face all his questions and anger.
The man looked at her.
for a long time.
The candlelight in the room flickered and crackled.
The man's eyes were as cold as the water in a deep pool, solemn and lonely.
"There have been many trivial matters in the capital, so our wedding will be postponed to the fifth day of March next year."
Pei Jingxu widened his eyes when he heard this, and for a moment he thought he had misheard.
What is he saying?
Seeing her stunned and bewildered look, Rong Jianxue stared at her slightly, probably thinking she had misunderstood.
"It's impossible to postpone it any further, Pei Jingxu."
With a sense of irresistibility.
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a long time before finally reacting.
Pei Jingxu opened his mouth and heard his own voice: "We...still want to get married?"
Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly as Rong Jianxue spoke calmly, "Your Majesty is seriously ill and will probably not survive this spring. If a national mourning is held then, our wedding will be postponed again."
"So, before His Majesty passes away, I will ask for an imperial decree, and we will be married on the fifth day of March."
Pei Jingxu's pupils shrank slightly. "Rong Jianxue, what I mean is, with our current relationship... there's no need for marriage, right?"
She has lied to him for so long and now she has fled the capital. As long as Bai Shutong is not dead, Xiaofeng may die.
——But Bai Shutong will not die.
Just as she said herself, there are countless points in her system, enough for her to live many, many times.
Pei Jingxu would not joke about Pei Huaifeng's life, so it was impossible for him to return to the capital.
Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and some emotion flashed in them.
"Rong Xuanzhou said that you have always wanted to become an imperial deity."
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion.
She didn't understand why he suddenly brought this up.
She was young at that time, and these words were just jokes when she was with Rong Xuanzhou.
It was so long ago that she couldn't even remember it.
"Pei Jingxu, I will ask for your permission to be granted the title of Madam."
Pei Jingxu frowned even deeper when he heard this.
——So, Rong Jianxue thinks that she will choose to marry him for the imperial edict?
Pei Jingxu opened his mouth and wanted to refuse.
But before she could speak, Rong Jianxue said coldly, "I'll give you a day to think about it. As for the rest, we'll discuss it when I get back."
After saying that, Rong Jianxue turned and left without looking at her again.
Pei Jingxu was lost in thought as he watched Rong Jianxue's departing back.
Night falls into the house.
Pei Jingxu didn't feel sleepy at all, but he still felt a lot sore.
Rong Jianxue must have applied the "priceless" ointment to her while she was sleeping.
So I don't care.
Pei Jingxu touched his lower abdomen and felt... uncomfortable.
A voice came from outside the door again: "Master Pei, Master said that no one is allowed to -"
"Rong Jianxue asked me to come and see my elder sister. This is his token. Let me in."
It’s Pei Huaifeng’s voice!
Hearing the familiar voice, Pei Jingxu perked up, sat up and looked outside the door!
Jiang Hui must have carefully checked the token, but couldn't find any mistakes. He finally made way for it and said, "Master Pei, please. Madam is resting. Master Pei, please be brief."
The door opened.
The moment he saw Pei Huaifeng, Pei Jingxu got out of bed: "Xiaofeng!"
She ran to Pei Huaifeng with redness at the corners of her eyes.
Pulling Pei Huaifeng, Pei Jingxu examined him from head to toe, front to back: "Are you injured? Do you have any wounds on your body?"
Pei Huaifeng's eyebrows were filled with smiles, and he lowered his head to look at Pei Jingxu in front of him: "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine, I'm not injured."
Bai Shutong was "betrayed" by Pei Huaifeng, and he must be angry and embarrassed at this time.
It was unclear what she would do next, and she was extremely worried about Pei Huaifeng's safety.
Pei Jingxu's eyes were slightly blurry. He lowered his head and pinched his wrist: "I'm sorry, Xiaofeng, I shouldn't have doubted you."
She was really scared.
She had witnessed the horror of Bai Shutong's "heroine halo" with her own eyes. At that moment, she was really afraid that Xiaofeng really didn't want her anymore and would join forces with Bai Shutong to kill her.
Pei Huaifeng smiled lightly, looking relaxed: "Sister, these are just trivial matters, why should you say sorry?"
Holding Pei Jingxu's hand, Pei Huaifeng squeezed her palm like they did when they were little: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you, sister."
Pei Jingxu just shook his head, tears streaming down his face.
Pei Huaifeng helped Pei Jingxu sit on the chair.
With a hint of worry in his eyes, Pei Huaifeng asked in a deep voice, "Sister, did Rong Jianxue bully you?"
If sleeping is considered bullying...
Pei Jingxu blushed, but shook her head. "No, I'm fine here. Jiang Hui said he's been discussing government affairs with you these past few days. Do you have any plans for the next step?"
Pei Huaifeng's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this: "Didn't Rong Jianxue tell my sister?"
Pei Jingxu heard this and shook his head in confusion: "What did you say?"
Pei Huaifeng said sternly, "Bai Shutong and Shen Huaichen have been captured and are now imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial city."
Caught?
Pei Jingxu frowned, moved his eyes, and warned carefully: "Bai Shutong...she has many tricks up her sleeve. She is very likely to find a way to escape from the dungeon."
The cell can't hold her.
Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu, with complex emotions in his eyes that Pei Jingxu could not understand.
Heartache, worry, grievance and resentment...
"Sister," Pei Huaifeng looked at her and said seriously, "I know what you want to say."
Pei Jingxu was slightly stunned and his eyes widened.
"But sister, I'm Xiaofeng, your biological brother who grew up with you."
"I am a living person. Be it bewitching or witchcraft, nothing can make me betray you."
"No one can do that."
No one can hurt my sister, not even Pei Huaifeng himself.
Pei Jingxu looked at him, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot and tears were welling up in his eyes.
"Sister, try to rely on me a little more."
