Wei Yunzhu returned to the room, she was a little worried, and wondered whether Pei Ji could successfully find out the source of the poison.

Just in case, she still called Cui Yue and told her: "You go to Gu's mansion secretly to see how the painting is going. If you can, bring her to see me, but you must be careful and don't call me. Others notice."

Cui Yue responded and went to do it immediately.

It was a scorching and hot sunny day in the north. At noon on the second day, Wei Yunzhu leaned on the cool chair and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the dream, it was cloudy and rainy, and the sky was dark. She saw Yan'er covered in blood, dying in a pool of blood.

Elder Sister was standing beside him, her bright red dress was splashed with dots of black blood, which dried up and turned into bewitching flowers. Elder Sister just knelt on the ground, breaking down and yelling.

"Yan'er!"

He woke up suddenly, sweat soaking his underwear.

The scene in the dream just now was too real, Wei Yunzhu was stunned for a long time before drinking a bowl of herbal tea to calm down, and it happened that Cui Yue came back.

His expression was a little dignified, probably because things were not going well.

Sure enough, he frowned slightly: "Princess, the painting is gone."

"When my subordinates rushed to Gu's mansion, Ruhua was nowhere to be found. When Gu Huaimao found out, he was furious and sent someone to look for it."

I'm afraid it was unbearable to enter the painting, so I escaped from the Gu residence.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Yunzhu said again: "You let the guards secretly search for the whereabouts of the painting. She is a weak woman, and she must not run far. She must be hiding in Lanling City. Remember, you must hurry up before Gu Huaimao finds her. She brought it to me."

However, the road to the painting has been cut off for the time being, and after that, we can only wait for news from Pei Ji.

……

In the evening, Wei Yunzhu was listening to Cui Yue's report on entering the painting, but he saw Pei Ji strolling towards him from afar.

Seeing the little princess with Cui Yue, Pei Ji didn't go any further, but stopped at the same spot, with dangerous arcs at the end of his eyes, looking at her meaningfully.

Wei Yunzhu probably understood, so he found an excuse and sent Cui Yue away. Sure enough, the man regained his indifferent smile and came casually.

"Is the princess satisfied with Weichen's performance?" He asked this inexplicably, although there was a smile in the end tune, it was impossible to understand his happiness and anger.

"What performance?" The girl was a little puzzled.

"Weichen didn't kill Cui Yue."

He hooked the corners of his lips half-truthfully, and his tone was a bit gloomy: "The princess has always talked to Cui Yue in recent days."

Wei Yunzhu only felt a pain in his head, no wonder the evil python looked at Cui Yue with strange eyes for several days, it turned out that he was thinking about this matter secretly!
She sighed: "Pei Ji, don't you have any compassion for everything in this world?"

Pei Ji let out an inaudible hum, followed by a mocking and low laugh: "Compassion? Emotion?"

He was smiling, but there seemed to be infinite ice hidden in his black eyes, which was as cold as a knife, capable of cutting skin and gouging out flesh.

"Weichen came out of fighting in the Colosseum."

Since he was a child, he has lived in the cruel fighting and darkness where the weak can prey on the strong, and he has no feelings for normal people at all.

Wei Yunzhu's mood fluctuated slightly, and he subconsciously sighed, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that the man had returned to his usual casual appearance.

They stood silently for a long time, until a quail accidentally fluttered its wings against the window as it took flight.

Wei Yunzhu realized that his clothes and even the tips of his hair were damp, so he asked, "You didn't come home last night?"

It did rain last night, but it stopped at about [-] o'clock. His body is so wet, it can only be rained at night.

Pei Ji didn't say a word, but watched the little girl fetch a clean handkerchief and handed it to him, and asked, "Where have you been?"

"Open." The man took the veil, neither salty nor bland, with a calm expression.

Wei Yunzhu paused, dazed for a moment, and realized whose coffin he was talking about just now.

Seeing this, Pei Ji lowered his head and began to wipe his hands. His slender knuckles were torn open by him. He wiped them carefully, for fear of missing them.
"Princess don't worry, digging graves and opening coffins doesn't have to be done by me."

He paused: "This minister's hands are not dirty."

"Eh?" Wei Yunzhu didn't expect him to think this way. He opened his mouth to explain, but before he could say it, he said, "Then, did you find anything?"

Pei Ji raised her eyebrows slightly: "The autopsy will take at least three days."

"Yeah." Wei Yunzhu replied, the time is not too tight.

The two were very close, a drop of water inexplicably hit the back of her hand, it was very cold, the girl raised her head, her gaze was fixed on Pei Ji's already soaked hair, and she said softly, "Your hair is still wet. "

The man frowned imperceptibly, grabbed the handkerchief, and wiped it twice casually, impatiently.

His hair is beautiful, more handsome than the water ghost's hair, but he doesn't look caring at all, too rough.

Wei Yunzhu stretched out his hand, first grabbed his sleeve, looked at him with almond-shaped eyes, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Huh?" Pei Ji lowered his body, thinking she wanted to ask something.

"I'll help you."

After finishing speaking, the girl took the handkerchief from his hand, but the man was much taller than her, and he couldn't reach it even on tiptoe: "You lower your head."

The princess actually... Pei Ji was slightly taken aback. He, who was always quick to respond, was suddenly disturbed and even stiffened. His usual indifferent expression implied some disbelief.

Wei Yunzhu thought he didn't hear clearly, so he raised the handkerchief in his hand and repeated: "You lower your head, I'll wipe it for you."

Soft-hearted mess.

The tall man lowered his body obediently, like a submissive beast. Under the beast was a delicate and soft little princess who could soothe all the pain in his heart.

The gentle wind after the rain is cool and itchy.

His figure was reflected in her eyes, full of them, and he was the only one.

Pei Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a sense of satisfaction spontaneously.

He said softly: "Princess, you are like this... I like it very much."

Wei Yunzhu's cheeks were slightly hot, but the movements of his hands did not stop, but he tried his best to be calm: "You have been taken care of by me, so you have to help me with the work and find out the results I want."

With a businesslike tone, Pei Ji smiled with his lips curled up, as if sparks were jumping out of his eyes.

He deliberately teased the girl again, with seriousness: "Actually... If I want this minister to help you with work, there is a better way. As long as the princess is willing, this minister will definitely obey everything."

Wei Yunzhu stared at the anger in the man's eyes, and intentionally intensified the movements of her hands. How could she not know what the man meant.

He deliberately pretended not to hear and turned a deaf ear.

But Pei Ji, as if he was afraid that the girl would not believe it, he added: "Really, if you don't believe it, the princess can try it."
