Chapter 79 "Is this true?"
Pei Jingxu raised his eyes and looked at Rong Jianxue who was walking towards him in the distance.
He was dressed solemnly today, his robes all snow-white.
The young man named Zhao Yuan was about to curse something, but the moment he saw Rong Jianxue, his eyes widened and all the words were stuck in his throat, and he became speechless.
Rong Jianxue walked to Pei Jingxu, and her cold eyes fell on Zhao Yuan like frost.
Jiang Hui received the order and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"
As he said that, Jiang Hui pulled Zhao Yuan towards the door.
Zhao Yuan was anxious. He pointed at Rong Jianxue and shouted, "Rong Jianxue, what are you so proud of? You're a dying man, aren't you afraid that the government will blame you and execute your entire family?"
"Oh, and you too! A Pei whose husband has died, pretending to be a chaste and heroic woman! Being my concubine is just a compliment to you—ah!"
Zhao Yuan didn't say the rest of the words.
Rong Jianxue signaled to Jiang Hui, Jiang Hui nodded, and broke Zhao Yuan's wrist bone!
Now, the whole shop could hear his wailing!
His forehead was covered with sweat and his teeth were bared, but Jiang Hui ignored him and escorted him towards the Dali Temple!
The screams grew farther and farther away until they disappeared.
Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes slightly and bowed to Rong Jianxue: "Thank you, sir."
Even though Pei Jingxu lowered his head, he could still feel the man's gaze falling on him.
His Buddhist beads hung on his wrist, making a slight sound as they colliding with each other. Neither of them spoke for a while.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Your Majesty needs to balance the factional forces in the court. He just wants to use this opportunity to confine me and deal with some of my followers."
"I'm not in a position to reveal the specific reasons, but if you encounter something like this again next time, just give it a slap and don't waste your breath."
This was probably the most confidential matter Rong Jianxue could tell anyone else.
Pei Jingxu lowered her eyes and said softly, "Your Excellency, there is no need to discuss these matters with me, my Lord."
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything, but his gaze was still on her.
"Besides, I am defending you because I am worried that the Rong family will be criticized. You don't have to worry about it."
Above my head, the man's voice was hoarse and low: "Is this also true?"
Hearing this, Pei Jingxu raised his eyes slightly, chuckled, and held out his wrist: "Sir, would you like to feel your pulse and make a judgment?"
His obscure gaze slowly moved from her face to her slender white wrist.
The bracelet is worn on the wrist bone.
——The broken bracelet Xuan Zhou gave her, which she carefully glued back together and put back on her wrist.
The jade on it was not really of top quality, but it was particularly eye-catching when worn on her hand.
Rong Jianxue reached out, grabbed her wrist bone, and let go.
He appeared calm and asked, as usual, "Is there anything you don't know how to do in running a shop?"
Pei Jingxu struggled slightly and broke free from his grasp.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I can still handle it."
Even if Pei Jingxu really knew nothing, what Rong Jianxue taught her was enough for her to run the shop.
"The emperor has summoned me to the palace to appear before him. If anything happens to me, please have Jiang Hui convey it to me."
Pei Jingxu lowered his head: "Thank you, sir."
It was not until Rong Jianxue's figure disappeared outside the door that Pei Jingxu finally raised his eyes slowly and moved his wrist bones.
A malicious smile flashed in her eyes, and Pei Jingxu felt that her goal was about to be achieved.
--
After leaving Hua Xiangrong, she originally planned to go to other shops, but when she passed through the alley, she was stopped by a man in black.
"Mrs. Pei, our Master invites you."
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly: "This... Young Master, I don't know you."
Having said that, she turned and was about to leave.
The man dodged and stretched out his hand to block Pei Jingxu's retreat: "Second Madam, please."
Pei Jingxu took a few steps back. She looked around, thinking about how to escape.
As if he had guessed her thoughts long ago, the man in black said coldly: "Second Madam, my master has instructed that if you don't want to go, I can use some tricks."
Pei Jingxu frowned: "Who is the young master you are talking about?"
The man in black didn't say anything, but made a gesture of invitation.
Pei Jingxu took a deep breath, her teeth chattering a little, but she forced herself to calm down and followed the man in black into the carriage.
We walked all the way to a boat.
When Pei Jingxu saw the familiar name of the boat, he had some ideas in mind.
——She was taken back to Baiyujing.
It was the last time she used a fake identity and Li Niang to seduce Rong Jianxue on the boat Baiyujing.
In this case, Pei Jingxu roughly guessed the identity of the "young master".
The man in black took her to the third floor of the boat.
There is only one room on the third floor.
After entering the room, the first thing that catches your eye is a screen depicting free clouds and wild cranes.
The screen was made of semi-transparent material, and under the dim light, the figure of the man behind the screen was vaguely visible.
Pei Jingxu held his breath.
"Sir, the person has been brought here."
"Well, step back."
"yes."
After a brief conversation, the man in black closed the door and left, leaving only the two of them in the room.
The man behind the screen had a gentle and elegant voice, like a gentle breeze and flowing clouds, brushing against one's ears: "Mrs. Pei used my people to achieve her own goals. She's very brave."
With this sentence, Pei Jingxu confirmed his guess.
The figure behind the screen moved.
The next second, under the candlelight, the man walked out from behind the screen, like an immortal crane walking out of a painting, elegant and graceful, with nobility in every gesture.
--
On the other side, the imperial study of the palace.
Rong Jianxue bowed slightly, his posture cold and noble.
The official at the desk lowered his eyes as he practiced calligraphy, his voice unrecognizable as emotion: "My third prince, Shen Huaichen, seems to have returned to the capital today."
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this: "Your Majesty's birthday is in a month, so it makes sense for His Royal Highness the Third Prince to return to the capital at this time."
The man on the dragon throne chuckled, still unable to make out clearly: "I heard that the Crown Prince has been distributing porridge outside the city recently to help the refugees?"
"yes."
The official paused, looking up at the powerful official before him. "Mr. Rong, who do you think is more suitable to inherit the throne, the Crown Prince or the Third Prince?"
Such a problem is like a death sentence to others.
Rong Jianxue did not try to hide her feelings, and spoke calmly, "Each has his strengths and weaknesses. So far, it seems that neither prince is capable of governing the country."
Upon hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and laughed a few times: "My dear Rong, you are so brave to say that."
"I dare not deceive you."
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly. "You dare not deceive the emperor? Then why did you refuse the marriage proposal with the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you have someone in mind?"
