Heaven Scheme Palace

Deep into the night, there was another heavy snowfall. Pei Jin hurriedly returned to his residence, but did not enter through the main entrance. Instead, he returned through the side door.

She quietly pushed open the door, and just as she turned the light on, she saw a figure seated in front of a table. She was about to shout when she saw it was Pei Sheng.

"Big brother? Why aren't you holding a light? Are you trying to scare me to death? " Pei Jin lightly patted his chest, feeling extremely shocked.

"What? What sort of shameful deed did you do to secretly sneak back to your residence like this?" Pei Sheng's face was gloomy and cold, his tone obviously contained a cold intent.

"I came back late. I was afraid that I might have disturbed you, big brother." Pei Jin said somewhat guiltily.

"Did you go to have a private meeting with the Prince Chu again?"

"What private meeting? Big bro, don't make it sound so bad." Pei Jin was furious in his heart, but he dared not flare up in front of his respected big brother, so he could only speak in a muffled voice.

"How many times have I told you not to come into contact with the Prince Chu again? Why did you refuse to listen!" Pei Sheng slammed the table heavily, and a loud sound truly frightened Pei Jin.

"I heard that Dan Qing Han plotted to kill Yao Dan Feng. She just went to ask Prince Chu to let her live!"

"Do you think the Prince Chu can speak properly in front of Lv Wen Hao? Furthermore, this was originally a trap given to Dan Qing Han by the Lu Family, how can he just let it go like that? "

"Even though Dan Qing Han and I haven't known each other for long, I really like her personality. I don't want to watch her die."

"It's just an excuse to see the Prince Chu."

Pei Jin's eyes immediately reddened, "Why do you oppose me being with him? I know that you, big brother, know your limits and don't want to be part of any party, but you can't stop me from liking someone because of this. "

"Do you think you can do whatever you want as long as you like? Prince Chu has her main wife, do you want to marry him as a concubine? Now that the battle between the Crown Prince and the King Chu had not ended, and the momentum of the Prince Zan was back, who could guarantee that the Prince Chu would be able to ascend to the throne? If the Prince Chu is defeated, how can the Pei Family face it? " Pei Sheng said each word coldly, but his analysis was clear and straightforward.

"Then big brother, you can support the Prince Chu. Then he can definitely ascend to the throne!" Pei Jin's words were extremely reasonable.

Pei Jin did not refute him anymore. In fact, how could he not understand this logic in her heart?

"A Jin, remember what I said, don't come into contact with Prince Chu again. If you insist on doing what you want to do, in the end, even big brother will not be able to protect you. " Pei Sheng let out a long sigh, slowly got up, and then walked away.

Pei Jin suddenly called out to him, "Big brother, have you ever loved someone?"

Pei Sheng did not speak. Instead, he continued: "If you fall in love with someone, even if you know that it's a dead end, you would still fly into a moth to a flame. No matter what, it's all because of love."

"That's all." Pei Sheng threw down those four cold words, and then left in large strides.

Pei Sheng stood outside of Pei Jin's room, yet he stood at the front of the hall for a long time as he stared at the snow falling from the sky.

It was the Pei Residence's vice commander, Lei Zhi. He stopped in front of Pei Sheng with quick steps and reported in a low voice, "General, I heard that the Prince Zan requested an order from the Emperor and entered the Ministry of Justice. It is said that he went to the Imperial Palace with a confession letter from Lady Han. Emperor has ordered for Lady Han to be executed three days later, which can be considered as an explanation to Lieutenant Lutai. "

"She confessed?" Pei Sheng was surprised to hear this.

"It's said that Lady Han can't stand the heavy punishment, so she pleads guilty."

"All of you will die if you admit your wrongs." Pei Sheng's voice was indifferent as he walked out. He spoke softly, "For the past few days, I have been keeping an eye on Prince Zan, if he makes any movements, quickly come and report."

"General, are you afraid that he will take the risk to rob the Gravitational Field for the sake of the Lady Han?" Lei Zhi guessed.

"This time, Dan Qing Han has been found guilty because of the Prince Zan. He must feel guilty, because he is a man of character. Pei Sheng saw through it and took a few steps forward before finally sighing lightly, "What a pity."

"What's a pity?" Lei Zhi did not understand.

Pei Sheng did not reply. Instead, he seemed to have recalled what Pei Jin had just said: If you fall in love with one, even if you knew that it was a desperate road of death, you would still fly like a moth to a flame.

In the dead of night, the lights in the Prince Yu's Mansion had long been turned off. A north wind blew past, but Ling Xuan Su did not fall asleep as he stood by the window, staring at the snow falling from the sky with a serious look.

Lu Fei Yu, who was originally in deep sleep, was suddenly awakened by the wind outside the window. She put on her clothes and got off the bed, then walked over to him and asked: "decedent still isn't sleeping?"

Ling Xuan Su turned his head and looked at the sleepy Lu Fei Yu, "Did I wake you up?"

"It's freezing cold in the sky and earth. decedent only wears a single garment, it would be bad if it could freeze your body to death." Lu Fei Yu leaned out and closed the window, "Are you worried about the Lady Han?"

Ling Xuan Su did not speak but instead gave a shallow smile which was gentle and beautiful, "Ever since I married you, I knew that your heart was not with me. Back then, on the night of the wedding, you were drunk to the point of being helped into the house by a servant. As you lay on the bed and shouted out Qing Han's name, I knew that in this life, I would not be able to obtain your heart. We shared a strange bed, but so what? This is a political marriage, how could I dare to hope for love. "

This was the first time Ling Xuan Su had heard his say this much to him. In the two years since they were married, Ling Xuan Su had never shown her a good face.

"We are husband and wife, and in the future we will be together for life. Since there is no love between us, why not start with friends? I can be your confidant and listen to you when you are upset. " Lu Fei Yu smiled sincerely.

Ling Xuan Su laughed slowly, "How lucky is Xuan Su to marry such a good wife like you?"

Hearing his words, Lu Fei Yu felt that he was being sarcastic. She smiled bitterly and asked: "Does decedent not plan to enter the palace to plead for mercy on behalf of the Lady Han?"

The smile on Ling Xuan Su's face gradually turned cold, and his eyes became sinister. "Now that the Lu Family is fighting with the Prince Zan, Dan Qing Han is just the fuse, Prince Yu's Mansion can watch the fire from the other side of the river."

Lu Fei Yu said worriedly: "I heard that Lady Han will be beheaded in three days."

Ling Xuan Su slowly let out a breath of cold air, and said calmly: "Then it depends on what Prince Zan plans to do."

"Will the Prince Zan save you?"

"Yes." Ling Xuan Su said, but he was not very confident, "Maybe not."
