The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 70 Bend down and kiss

  Pei You already engaged? nonsense.

  Wen Ning is now very sure that Pei You pulled out her marriage contract with "Xiaoya" purely to use her as a shield. Although she was young back then, she could remember things very well, and she never said anything like marrying Pei You in the future.

  Never have a joke.

  When Princess Showa asked, Wen Ning was concerned.

  It must be that Emperor Jiahe intended to match his beloved daughter with Pei You. In his previous life, Pei You said that he liked Wen's A Ning in the backyard. In this life, he didn't recognize him, so he declined by saying that he had a marriage contract.

  So in the previous life, Princess Zhaohe went to find her in person and looked at her curiously; in this life, she was passed on to the palace as a person who "has no regrets" for Pei You, to inquire about the fiancée.

   For a moment, Wen Ning almost wanted to expose Pei You's lie, without the pretense of this marriage contract, let's see how he would refuse the emperor's marriage offer!

   But after thinking about it, he is actually paranoid and extreme. No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do. Similarly, no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do.

  Since he moved out of the engagement, he must have no intention of Princess Shang.

   "Returning to Your Highness, my daughter heard Master Pei mention this matter, but she only knows that the girl's nickname is 'Xiaoya'. It seems to be a marriage contract since she was a child, and the other daughters don't know about it."

  Wen Ning decided not to get involved in his affairs, saying that she "should" know.

"Xiaoya?" Princess Zhaohe frowned, with confusion and relief on her beautiful face, she whispered, "Auntie said that he has been looking for her since he returned to the Duke's mansion, and it has been almost a year now. People who have not been found by the power of the government, I am afraid..."

   She shook her head regretfully.

   raised her eyes again and asked Wen Ning: "Since you know that he has a marriage contract, you were still under the list to catch your son-in-law, what did you think?"

  Princess Showa is really a well-loved and inhumane person.

  In this year, it was the first time that someone directly asked her why she went to the list to catch her son-in-law.

  Wen Ning made a shy expression very familiarly: "At that time, I thought...the marriage contract was only verbal, and I didn't see Mr. Pei has a marriage certificate, so... whoever grabs it first will get it..."

  Princess Showa gave a "puchi" smile: "I like your temperament!"

  Wen Ning coughed lightly: "I made the princess laugh."

   "Then what do you think now?" Princess Showa asked again.

"Now that he is a son, he is already a member of the third rank at a young age. How dare a little girl climb up?" Wen Ning quickly cleared up the relationship between herself and Pei You, "When Daddy finishes entertaining the Ryukyu prince, he will tell me dear."

  Princess Showa nodded knowingly, turned her delicate eyes slightly, and asked again: "Then what do you think of Pei Shizi?"

  cough…

  Wen Ning twisted the handkerchief in her hand, so she can't be blamed for this, Mr. Pei.

  The princess asked about her. As a person who is infatuated with Pei You, how could she speak ill of him?

  In her eyes, he is naturally the best in the world.

  Wen Ning praised Pei You very "sincerely", how he rejected him like a gentleman, how considerate and filial he was to his adoptive parents, and how he treated the servants at home kindly.

   "In short, Mr. Pei has both ability and integrity. His knowledge is excellent, his talent is unmatched, and his appearance is even more top-notch in my Dayin. Princess, I have seen him, and ordinary men can't catch their eyes."

  Princess Zhaohe heard her praise, her eyes became brighter and brighter, she held her chin and said, "Then do you think I am worthy of him?"

  Wen Ning was waiting for her words, and hurriedly said: "Princess Longzhang Fengzi, and Mr. Pei are a match made in heaven!"

   Coming out of Chaolu Palace, Wen Ning let out a big breath.

  Princess Showa has a distinguished status, won the favor of the emperor and empress, she is beautiful and charming, and what is rare is that she is golden but not arrogant, Master Pei should hurry up!

  A little father-in-law from Chaolu Palace sent Wen Ning out, and the carriage was ready.

   "Trouble my father-in-law. Today, my father and brother are in the palace. The father-in-law can go back first, and the daughter can go to find her father and brother." Wen Ning calmly gave the little father-in-law an ingot of silver.

  The little **** naturally knew that there was a cleansing banquet in the palace tonight, and Princess Zhaohe was the one who didn't see Wen Ning at the banquet, so she went back to Chaolu Palace and asked someone to invite her into the palace.

  He stretched his head and glanced at the Qingyi Hall not far away. Although it was a bit out of courtesy, it was fine for the princess to invite distinguished guests into the palace.

   "Slave sent you there?"

   "My father-in-law."

It was only half a mile away from Chaolu Palace and Qingyi Hall. Wen Ning didn't take a sedan chair to drive him away. When he reached the gate of the hall, he leaned over and said, "I'll wait for my father and brother here before the banquet is over. I don't dare to bother my father-in-law to wait together. Father-in-law first." Go back to Chaolu Palace and answer Her Highness the Princess."

  The Palace of Qingyi is connected to the Imperial Garden, and the little father-in-law saw that there were also some female family members enjoying the peach blossoms outside, so he returned a salute to Wen Ning and left.

  As soon as the little **** left, Wen Ning turned around immediately.

  The banquet in Qingyi Palace was not over yet, Jiahe Emperor was inside, so she could only hang out with the female relatives at this time, looking at the flowers and admiring the night view, if she met Zhao Xizhi and others, she would have to be laughed at.

  She wants to go to the meal shop next door.

  The dining room is different from the imperial dining room. It only makes some simple snacks. For example, in today's weather, it turns warm and cold, and the dishes brought from the imperial dining room are cold, so they are heated in the dining room and served on the table.

  Alcohol is the same.

  In this season, the drink is still hot wine.

  Wen Ning planned to go to Chen Shang first and ask if there was anything unusual tonight.

  The dining room was originally prepared for the Qingyi Hall, separated by a wall, but the door of the dining room opened towards the back.

  In the second half of the banquet, no more food will be served, and there should be only people from the wine shop warming the wine, waiting to leave the palace after the banquet.

Wen Ning walked lightly through the palace wall between the Qingyi Hall and the dining room, and when she was about to reach the gate of the dining room, she heard a rustling sound, and then heard a woman's crying voice: "Why can she , I can't?"

  Wen Ning was startled, the voice was so familiar, and...so close...

  She looked sideways, and just three feet away from her, next to the palace wall of the Qingyi Hall, stood a man and a woman. There was no candlelight between the two palace walls, and the base of that wall was even darker. Although they were so close, Wen Ning couldn't see their faces clearly, but the man...

   It's Pei You.

  She really didn't want to be so familiar with his figure.

  However, she only recognized him from a vague outline.

   That other...

  Thinking about the familiar voice, it is not difficult to guess that it is Zhao Xizhi.

  Wen Ning didn't want to stay for a moment, but if she took another step forward, she would be exposed to the light at the entrance of the restaurant, and if she took a step back... she would be noticed if she made any movement.

  Wen Ning closed her eyes and decided to act like a rock, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.

   "My lord, if Wen Ning can do it, I can do it too." Zhao Xizhi continued.

   Nothing to mention what does she do?

  Wen Ning couldn't help opening her eyes, and saw a black shadow move, as if pushing Zhao Xizhi away.

   "My lord." Zhao Xizhi fell to the ground and still didn't give up. She hugged the man's thigh and cried, "I beg your lord to have mercy."

  Wen Ning closed her eyes again.

  What crime did she do to bump into such a scene.

  If she had known that Zhao Xizhi was outside, she should have gone inside the Qingyi Hall.

   There was another rustling of clothes, probably because Pei You pulled his legs away, and then there was a cold and sharp sound of unsheathing.

  The sound of the dagger being unsheathed.

  Wen Ning couldn't help opening her eyes again.

  Although it was dark ahead, the silver dagger was particularly conspicuous in such darkness.

   "Ms. Zhao wants someone to take pity on your face?" Pei You's voice was suppressed, unbelievably cold, the dagger rested on Zhao Xizhi's cheek, and then went down, "Or your neck?"

  Wen Ning took a deep breath, in the palace, is Pei You crazy?

  Zhao Xizhi was obviously also frightened, and was silent for a while.

   "Get out." Pei You sounded like he was trying to control himself.

  The petite black shadow climbed up cautiously, and ran away.

  Wen Ning was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Pei You stand up and choose the opposite direction to Zhao Xizhi, that is... the direction she was walking towards.

  Wen Ning: "..."

  Holding his breath subconsciously, he silently leaned against the base of the wall.

  It's so dark here, God bless, don't see her.

  But the next moment, Wen Ning knew that she couldn't escape.

  Pei You stared straight at her with a pair of cloudy eyes, clearly aware of her existence earlier, and came straight to her.

   In front is the dining room, Wen Ning was about to leave, but Pei You grabbed her wrist: "Why are you here?" He pulled her and walked forward.

The pace was too fast, and Wen Ning couldn't keep up. She wanted to shake off Pei You's hand, but she couldn't do it, so she staggered and said, "I... Princess Zhaohe called me into the palace, I... I didn't see anything just now. ..."

  Pei You didn't seem to be listening to her, but only dragged her forward.

   "Master Pei, Mr. Pei..." Wen Ning trembled as she thought about the dagger he had just pulled out, "I'm here to find my father and brothers, I...I'm not..." to pester you...

  Wen Ning was halfway through talking, and sensitively noticed that Pei You seemed to be abnormal.

  His palms were always warm and cool, but now he was holding her, his wrists were surprisingly hot. She was dragged by him so that she was panting normally, but his breathing was always steady, but at this moment it was also a little short.

  Wen Ning had a bad premonition in her heart, knowing that she couldn't shake off that hand, she still struggled: "Master Pei, where are you taking me!"

  Not far ahead is Tai'an Lake, Pei You somehow made many twists and turns, and didn't bump into any palace servants on the road, so she was dragged to the edge of Tai'an Lake.

  There were many trees by the lake, as soon as Pei You let go, Wen Ning's back hit a tree trunk.

   "What do you want to do tonight?" Pei You's voice was dull, and he could see that his face was a little pink and his eyes were a little cloudy, and he was trying to stay awake.

  What do you want to do tonight...

  Wen Ning looked at him in bewilderment, but also tried her best to keep calm: "Master Pei, have you... drank too much?"

   Feeling wrong again, trembling hands touched Pei You's forehead, touched the scorching hot spot, quickly withdrew his hand, tried to run, but was dragged back to the tree trunk by Pei You.

  His men also took two steps closer and leaned over.

  Wen Ning finally saw Pei You's expression clearly.

  The complexion was not pink, but flushed, her breathing was not only rapid, but also extremely hot, and the clear and cloudy eyes were floating and sinking, firmly locked on her face.

No…

   Shouldn't be this time...

   It's messed up, it's all messed up...

  Wen Ning realized what was going on with Pei You, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

   It shouldn't be what happened at this time, it should be the 16th year of Jiahe.

  In the spring of the sixteenth year of Jiahe, Pei You went to the palace to attend a banquet, and hurried back to her courtyard on the way, with the same look.

  Thinking of that night in her previous life, Wen Ning not only felt her body tremble, but also her soul trembled.

   "Tu Bai!" She couldn't care less, and shouted, "Tu Bai!"

  He was always by Pei You's side, where did he go tonight?

  Pei You has been drugged, come out quickly!

  Pei You's eyes slipped a trace of coldness, pushing her closer, pinching her chin with two fingers, making her look into his eyes: "Do you still know about Tubai?"

  Wen Ning felt that Pei You still seemed to be awake at the moment, and looked at him with wet eyes that had just been frightened.

  The clear moonlight shines through the tree shadows like silver gauze.

  Pei You noticed the sneaky Wen Ning early on, and originally planned to ask her what Wen Qi and Wen Qi were planning tonight, and take her out of the palace along the way.

  But he seems to have overestimated his self-control, or in other words, underestimated Zhao Xizhi's boldness.

  The dryness in his body became more and more turbulent, rushing straight to his forehead, almost making him a little unsteady, so he diverted halfway and dragged Wen Ning to the forest.

   "I..." Wen Ning didn't know how to explain that she knew about Tu Bai, so she just pushed Pei You, "Let me go first, you..."

  Wen Ning drank a few glasses of wine in Chaolu Palace.

   When talking about Xingchu, Princess Zhaohe poured her wine, still made from peach blossoms. Wen Ning did not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, and at the same time praised Peiyou, she strongly recommended the "Floating Life Drunk" peach blossom wine to the princess.

   At that time, the mood was drifting, thinking that if Princess Zhaohe could go to Fushengzui to buy a pot of peach blossom wine, would they still worry about business?

  At this time, she didn't know that when she opened her mouth, there was a slightly sweet peach blossom fragrance. And the tears that almost fell from the shock just now turned into sparkling water and floated in the bottom of the eyes, reflecting the clear moonlight, sparkling.

   "You...you..." Wen Ning was so anxious that her tongue was rolling.

   In the eyes of others, it is a different scene.

   The apricot eyes are slightly stared, shining like water.

  Red lips are bright and bright, like carvings.

  As soon as I opened my mouth, the fragrance of peach blossoms struck me, intoxicating.

  The last trace of clarity in Pei You's eyes was eaten away. He raised the man's jaw in his hand, and leaned over to kiss it.

  The moist and hot lips were suddenly pressed down, and Wen Ning only felt a "buzz" in his ear, and a white light exploded.
