When it came to Anyang County Lord, Mi Xiayao suddenly remembered.
"So, who was the person Anyang County Lord wanted to recommend to you at that time?"
Pei Xingyuan raised his eyes and fell on her. Without a trace of hesitation, he said frankly: "She has a playmate back in the capital. I heard she is a girl from a fairly wealthy family in Border City. She is still young. What can she know at the age of just hairpins?"
Mi Xiayao raised her lips and smiled, "Ah, don't you take a look at the red rope that was delivered to your door?"
She said this deliberately to offend Pei Xingyuan. She just wanted to see his gloomy look.
There is a kind of happiness that is derived from the pain of others.
But the man was surprisingly calm today.
"Then it has to be said on a first-come, first-served basis. I haven't solved the last one that came to my door."
His words were blurred, and it was obviously a colorless sentence, but when he spoke it, it was full of hazy hallucinations.
Her eyebrows twitched fiercely, "What's the last one?"
At this moment, there happened to be only two people left in the room, Mi Xiayao and Pei Xingyuan.
He lifted up his robe and sat down on the Arhat bed at the other end, peeling oranges with leisurely movements.
His thin lips were always raised in a gentle and calm smile, which softened the already stern profile of his face.
"Mrs. Mi is forgetful, but that doesn't mean I am forgetful. Shouldn't we come to your door again when we meet again?"
He was insinuating that night in Jingzhou City.
Pei Xingyuan wanted to deliberately stimulate Mi Xiayao back to make her calm down.
But he didn't know that Mi Xiayao was not one of those shy little girls.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "You'd better explain this matter clearly. Who came to the door? If you didn't fall into other people's routines, this wouldn't have happened."
"Then according to what you said, I still have time to thank Duan Honglin."
The man nodded in understanding, his shamelessness could rival Mi Xiayao's.
She glanced at the other party speechlessly, "..."
The room fell silent for a while. Pei Xingyuan broke the orange in half and reached out to her mouth in a natural movement.
"To show your courtesy for nothing, to commit adultery or to steal, what are you doing? And you want me to help you stop some rotten love?"
Mi Xiayao subconsciously leaned back and looked at Pei Xingyuan with a wary expression.
The man laughed angrily at her serious words, and shook the peeled orange without any white strands.
"It will be good for your health to eat more oranges now. Your body is so weak. If there is an accident, no matter how skilled the doctors are, they won't be able to save your little body."
Seeing that Mi Xiayao refused to eat with his hands, he simply put it on the plate in her hand.
Sure enough, just after putting down the orange, Mi Xiayao picked it up and ate it with peace of mind.
Where is the vigilant look just now?
"I've never seen you maintain such a healthy body before. Then you used to want to drag me to drink sake together, but now you think I made my own body?!"
Mi Xiayao's mouth today was quite venomous.
If you seize the opportunity, just output it in one go.
Pei Xingyuan continued to peel the oranges in his hands. Faced with her teasing, he still went his own way and his movements did not stop.
"You used to be so drunk that I didn't care about you, but you are different now."
"I have a baby in my belly, so you love me all the time?" The relaxed smile in Mi Xiayao's eyes suddenly faded a lot.
Pei Xingyuan felt her enthusiasm fading little by little, but he was not in a hurry to coax her.
Just pull off the white strands on the orange bit by bit.
"In the past, in my eyes, you were just a profit-seeking profiteer,"
He spoke with a unique laziness, biting the words slowly, "It was because I didn't know the treasure before, but now I regret it and want to cherish it again, but she doesn't seem to be willing to give me a chance to express myself."
Already."
"Really, that's a pity."
Mi Xiayao was sore from the orange. She blinked subconsciously and was about to reach out to drink the strong tea, but Pei Xingyuan quickly snatched it away.
After being robbed of the water glass, she immediately turned around and looked at the culprit angrily.
"Are you too..." Points.
The words she was about to ask suddenly stuck on her lips.
The person involved grabbed the strong tea and placed it in front of him, then picked up a new teacup and poured warm water from the copper kettle on the side.
He raised his eyelids and looked at her sincerely with his deep eyes, "Don't drink strong tea at night."
There was nowhere to put her words of questioning.
"Where did you learn all these things?"
She grumbled and complained, but still drank the newly poured water calmly.
Pei Xingyuan's eyes were always on her. Seeing her confusion, he raised his eyebrows.
Jokingly: "Don't you like hearing me tell the truth?"
"You tell me first, and then it depends on whether I like to listen or not."
She accepted this fact with embarrassment.
The smile on the man's thin lips concealed a doting smile, "In order to strive for a good performance in front of you, I asked someone overnight how to take care of my wife. I just want to have a better performance and have more presence.
"
"The light that certain women radiate in the capital is too dazzling. If I don't do something, someone else will appear, and I won't accept it."
He was unwilling to do so.
Mi Xiayao looked at him steadily, as if trying to detect any sign of guilty conscience in him.
However, the other party said these words from the bottom of his heart, and could see nothing but sincerity.
If this man was pretending in front of her, then his acting skills would be too superb.
Just as she was hesitating whether to tell Pei Xingyuan about the decision she had made.
Suddenly, two dull bells sounded outside the window.
Immediately, the expressions of the two people sitting on Arhat's bed changed slightly.
Soon, someone outside the house knocked politely on the door. Without waiting for the people inside to react, the people outside hurriedly opened the door.
"Something serious happened in the palace. His Majesty was temporarily critically ill, and a first-class imperial doctor was summoned to the palace overnight."
The emperor is critically ill?!
Mi Xiayao's eyebrows twitched fiercely. She put down the teacup in her hand and was about to ask something.
The subordinate then said calmly to Pei Xingyuan: "The things that your Excellency asked us to prepare in advance are almost ready. We will go to court tomorrow morning. Your Excellency will not be able to go to the court because of illness."
Mi Xiayao turned her head and looked at Pei Xingyuan aside in astonishment.
As for the emperor's critical illness, it was a sensational news in Da Qi, so she remembered it deeply.
At that time, Pei Xingyuan also linked up with Princess Yongning, taking advantage of His Majesty's critical illness to completely overthrow Prince Qin Qiao.
Then the third prince, whose ambition was exposed, appeared to block their way of supporting the little noble concubine's son to ascend the throne.
The days that followed were filled with bloodshed.
Mi Xiayao originally planned to take advantage of the third prince's wedding to anger this person, so that he could leave the capital and avoid the bloody storm in the capital.
It's the first thing she does right now.
But an accident happened to her, which originally disrupted her plan. But now that the emperor is critically ill, Pei Xingyuan does not interfere in this matter.
Mi Xiayao didn't understand even more.
Why is this trajectory different from what it was in this life!?
