Heaven Scheme Palace

Returning to the General's Estate, Yao Dan Qing was sitting in her room, thinking about what Lv Wen Hao had said today. For a moment, she was lost in thought, and the servants saw that her face was ugly, so they did not dare disturb her, and only waited quietly by the side.

The sky gradually darkened, Zi Yu held a lamp in her hand, the Illusory Fire Gold light shone all around, as if covering Yao Dan Qing's clothes with a layer of gold.

"Madame, dinner is ready, do you want to call for dinner?" It was only then that Yao Dan Qing realized that her entire body had been stiff from maintaining this position for too long. She reached out her hand to rub her entire body, then stood up and wearily instructed: "There's no need, I want to rest.

"Yes." Zi Yu did not dare speak anymore, and acknowledged respectfully, then led the few servants away.

Yao Dan Qing leaned on the bed, thinking that what Lv Wen Hao said today was extremely true, and did not sound like he was lying at all. Could it be that she had misunderstood him throughout the years?

If it were not for the Lu Family, then who else in the empire would have such power and precise arrangements to destroy the entire Yao Family in one night?

In truth, she had already thought of a few extremely suspicious people, but the more she investigated, the more she realized that the Lu Family had the greatest suspect and motive, thus she ignored the others. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, there really were some flaws that she had not noticed.

As he thought about it, he subconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

A quarter to eight hours later, Pei Sheng returned to his residence from the palace. Seeing Zi Yu guarding outside his house, he asked: "Has Madame returned?"

"After returning for quite a while, their expressions were not too good. They sent the servants away without even eating dinner, saying that they needed a rest." Zi Yu reported truthfully.

Hearing that, Pei Sheng did not reply, he gently pushed open the door and went inside.

The lights in the room flickered, and the incense of the cauldron on the table curled up into a cloud of mist.

In between the bed curtains, he saw Yao Dan Qing half lying on the bed with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, already falling asleep.

Pei Sheng walked to her side with light steps, carefully looking at her slightly pale face, and pulled up a piece of clothing to cover her body. His lips curved in a shallow arc, and a complicated expression rose in his eyes.

Yao Dan Qing sensed that someone was approaching but knew that it was not dangerous. She opened his eyes slightly and looked at her quietly.

"A Sheng." Yao Dan Qing called out softly, a little dazed.

Pei Sheng caressed the corner of her eyes with his finger and asked: "Zi Yu said you didn't use dinner?"

Yao Dan Qing shook his head: "I'm waiting for your return."

Pei Sheng asked again: "You have something to say to me?"

Yao Dan Qing straightened her body and snuggled into his embrace, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist as she said with a slight frown, "I'm going with Lv Wen Hao to the Qingzhou tomorrow to look for the Li Da who was in charge of this case back then."

Pei Sheng took the opportunity and embraced her shoulders, and said: "Go."

Yao Dan Qing raised her head in his embrace and stared into his eyes without blinking: "Why aren't you asking me anything?"

"Didn't you suffer so much just to find the real culprit behind the Yao Family's annihilation? Now that we can look into it in broad daylight, why would we need to worry about it? "

"No, I'm talking about Lv Wen Hao." Yao Dan Qing hesitated for a long time, before finally deciding to be honest with him from the bottom of his heart, "Today, Lv Wen Hao said something to me that made the hatred I should have towards him become a lot weaker. I don't want to hide it from you. When I was young, I had a relationship with him, and this relationship made me remember it for six years. When I completely tore him away from my heart, I realized that all my grudges were all a misunderstanding. "

Pei Sheng listened to every word she said without interrupting, and only listened quietly.

"Today, I actually wavered and felt even more ashamed of you. You said before that we were husband and wife and that we shouldn't hide anything from each other, so I must confess to you. " When Yao Dan Qing said till here, her eyes became complicated. She asked softly: "Do you blame me?"

Pei Sheng smiled faintly: "If your choice is Lv Wen Hao, I will let you go."

Yao Dan Qing was completely shocked, trying to find any other emotion in his eyes, "You don't care about it at all?"

He enunciated each word clearly, "If you want to leave, what's the point in keeping your people here?"

Yao Dan Qing's miserable face finally revealed a hint of smile. She hooked her hands around his neck and laughed: "Don't worry, as long as you don't disappoint me in this life, I won't do the same to you."

"Little Qing …" Pei Sheng looked at her shining eyes, and his belly full of words turned into a sigh, as he bent over and kissed her.

His kiss was almost fanatical and tyrannical, the two's breathing intertwined with each other.

At that moment, he only wanted to sink into the abyss, never waking up from this intoxicating dream.

After a long while, Pei Sheng finally released her. He looked at her slightly red cheeks, and said in a deep voice: "It's almost time, get up and go eat something."

Although Yao Dan Qing was unwilling, but after thinking about it, she was indeed a little hungry, so she laughed: "Sure, but I want to eat wontons."

"Let's go." Pei Sheng carried her and left the house, heading out.

•

On Chang Ping Street in the southern part of the imperial city, Yao Dan Qing led Pei Sheng into a deep alley, and only when they arrived at a bustling shop did they stop in their tracks.

Yao Dan Qing said: "In the past, when I was greedy for food at night, I would slip out of the house to eat a bowl of wontons. Don't underestimate this small shop, the business here is really good."

Pei Sheng looked around, and it was exactly as she said. There were an endless stream of customers eating wontons in the small shop, and there were over ten tables filled with seats.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons." Yao Dan Qing shouted, and then she heard a voice calling out to him: "Big brother, sister-in-law!"

Pei Jin and Yao Dan Qing turned to look, only to see that at the furthest corner of the shop, Pei Jin was waving at them. Beside her sat Xuan Yuan Jing who had a warm smile on his face.

"You're here too?" Yao Dan Qing sat in front of them, and looked at the two of them, as if she had discovered something, and looked at them flirtatiously.

"A Jin said that she has no appetite, so I brought her here to eat wontons." Xuan Yuan Jing never thought that he would actually encounter Pei Sheng and Yao Dan Qing who came to eat wonton together.

Yao Dan Qing leaned close to Xuan Yuan Jing's ear and whispered, "I've already said that A Jin is a good girl. Seeing that your lives after marriage are so harmonious, I can finally relax."

Xuan Yuan Jing bent his body slightly, and similarly whispered into her ear. "Sometimes seeing it with one's own eyes may not be true."

Yao Dan Qing asked instead, "If you don't even believe in your own eyes, what else can you believe?"

Xuan Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Your heart."

Yao Dan Qing suddenly felt that today's Xuan Yuan Jing's words were weird, and was about to ask further, when she heard Pei Jin laugh and ask: "What are the two of you talking about?"

Yao Dan Qing raised her head, raised her voice, and said, "I am envious of the prince for marrying such a good wangfei."

Hearing this, Pei Jin's face did not look bashful at all. Instead, he started to mock Yao Dan Qing, "The relationship between Big Brother and Big Sis is is a good joke passed down in the capital.'s fury is known as a beauty …"

"No one in the world understands, and you don't understand either?" However, Pei Sheng interrupted him and glanced at him thoughtfully. He did not seem to be concerned at all.

Pei Jin was startled,he quietly looked at Pei Sheng who had a gloomy expression, then looked at Xuan Yuan Jing, she did not know why the atmosphere suddenly became so cold.

Yao Dan Qing watched as the atmosphere slowly cooled down, and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow, I'm going to the Qingzhou, and I don't know how many days I will be going for."

"To the Qingzhou?" Pei Jin asked curiously.

"Investigate the case of the Yao Family's annihilation." Yao Dan Qing replied.

"Go to Qingzhou with Lv Wen Hao?" Xuan Yuan Jing recovered the depressed look on his face, and followed up.

"Yeah, I hope we can find some clues. After all, Emperor only gave us three months." Yao Dan Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, she had managed to change the topic, and she felt that the current Xuan Yuan Jing was different from the one she had first met.

Pei Jin sighed with emotion: "I never thought you would be General Yao's daughter, Yao Dan Qing. Back then, I had always admired a woman like you, who refused to yield to me and wanted to become friends with me. It's a pity that I never had the chance." After saying that, excitement appeared in her eyes. She couldn't help but clench her fist and say, "I was just saying, how can I be so fated with you. It seems like I'm destined to be fated with you."

"Nonsense, she's your sister-in-law." Pei Sheng reprimanded her with a low voice, interrupting her endless thoughts.

"That's what I said." Pei Jin curled his lips and lowered his head to eat the wonton.

"Actually, I also feel that I am on good terms with A Jin, why wouldn't I be able to get along with him?" Yao Dan Qing said those words for Pei Jin, but her eyes still smiled and looked towards Pei Sheng. He frowned slightly and chided: "You are also messing around with her."

At this time, the shop owner came over with two bowls of wontons that had just been cooked. "Dear customer, here's your wontons."

Yao Dan Qing took the wonton, picked it up with her spoon and blew on it, "Come, try it."

Although Pei Sheng had eaten dinner, he was not willing to let her enthusiasm get the better of him. He symbolically ate a few of them and found that the taste was indeed not bad, "You guys fought so hard just to eat this much, you can even find such a remote wonton shop."

"As the saying goes, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys." After Yao Dan Qing finished, he smiled to herself.

Pei Jin suddenly felt deeply moved. Fortunately Yao Dan Qing had married her big brother, otherwise, she would have missed out on such an intimate friend.

The four of them sat at the same table, happily eating delicious wontons, Yao Dan Qing and Pei Jin's laughter never stopped, while Xuan Yuan Jing and Pei Sheng would occasionally exchange a few words, in a peaceful manner.
