It was still pitch black, and the carriage was hidden on both sides of the road.

To the east, there is smoke rising into the sky, and the flames are visible.

The night wind was chilly, quite cold, and Wei Yunzhu shivered in thin clothes.

Seeing this, Pei Ji frowned inaudibly, took off his cloak, and wrapped the girl up slowly.

His slender fingers tied a knot in front of the cloak: "Calm down now?"

Wei Yunzhu glanced at the direction of the fire, and held his breath, let out a "huh".

Pei Ji is a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, with a thoughtful mind like silk, who can read people's hearts at a glance. She is not surprised at all that he is so decisive in killing and good at hiding in the dark. He can climb from hell step by step. The pinnacle of rights.

"From now on, don't kill me again."

The girl moved the shoulder that was about to be crushed by him just now, and her voice was delicate, implying a little grievance.

After a pause, she added in an awkward whisper: "Thank you for today's matter."

Pei Ji sized up the girl's face, and said in a casual tone, "You don't need to thank me, let's thank your Cui Sanlang."

"The humble minister is just trying to trick the princess into not doing stupid things." He let out a soft snort, then changed the topic, sour and cold: "He's here."

The girl subconsciously looked at him, and imitated how he looked at himself, and finally saw an emotion similar to "holding vengeance" between his eyebrows and eyes.

Before she could ask in the future, she heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside.

Opening the curtain, he saw that the carriage with the Sima Mansion sign had stopped, and Cui Yue dismounted first to report: "Go back to Princess, the girl in the painting is fine."

Wei Yunzhu immediately got off the carriage and thanked Mr. Cao first, but it has been a while since he entered the painting and went to the state government office, otherwise Gu Huaimao might become suspicious.

Mr. Cao repeatedly explained that he would send someone to take care of him, so Wei Yunzhu was relieved.

When everything was settled, she solemnly bowed to Cui Yue: "Cui Sanlang, thank you very much today."

Pei Ji leaned lazily in the carriage, raised the curtain to watch coldly, squinted his eyes in the dark night, and forced a smile with a dangerous arc.

Heh, did you really go to thank her Cui Sanlang?

He wants to kill.

At this moment, Cui Yue's right eyelid twitched inexplicably.

He looked around subconsciously, it was really weird, there was no one, why did he feel a chill down his back?
When he came back to his senses, he said: "You don't need to say thank you, the princess. In fact, the subordinates didn't do anything. After going to the Gu Mansion with Mr. Cao, I thought I would have to spend a while with Gu Huaimao, but it happened that the Gu Mansion was on fire. , this is a logical way to save people."

If there was no reason for that fire, even if they arrived in time, not only would Gu Huaimao not let him go, but even if he entered the painting, he might have been murdered.

Hearing this, Wei Yunzhu was slightly taken aback, she turned to the carriage, the wind blew the curtains high, and the inside was already empty.

he's gone?
……

On the second day, Pei Ji was nowhere to be seen during the day, and he came back only in the evening.

Wei Yunzhu came here uninvited.

The light in Pei Ji's room was on, and the girl approached gently with a food box, intending to knock on the door, but found that the door was ajar, she touched it a little, and it opened with a "squeak".

Without thinking too much, he raised his foot and walked in, and there was a sound of splashing water in his ears.

She probed inside and found that Pei Ji was sitting naked in the bathtub to take a bath.

The man's firm arms were full of tension, and the water dripped down his neck, which was indescribably sexy.

"Ah!" The girl looked like a frightened little white rabbit, she exclaimed and turned around abruptly, faltering: "You, why don't you close the door when you take a shower!"

Pei Ji looked at the girl's ears that were getting redder and brighter, and a playful smile appeared in his eyes: "The princess broke in suddenly, it's my fault for not closing the door."

Wei Yunzhu bit her lower lip, unwilling to speak, and did not dare to turn around, because she heard the sound of splashing water when the man stood up.

Sure enough, Pei Ji straightened up, and said shamelessly: "Since the princess wants to take a peek, why don't you come closer and take a closer look?"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the girl was so shy that the back of her neck turned crimson, for fear that he would really approach: "I, I have prepared pastries, you don't want to eat them!"

Pei Ji laughed lightly when he heard the words, he turned around and put on his robe, he tidied it up properly, then turned sideways and glanced at the girl who had been refusing to turn around all this time.

He raised his eyebrows: "Okay, the princess can watch it."

Wei Yunzhu turned his head cautiously and found that he was fully dressed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and put the food box in his hand on the table, his breath was still a little rough: "Would you like to have a taste?"

Before he could answer, the girl had already opened the food box by herself, and laid out all the delicacies inside.

It is said to be a delicacy, but it is actually some sweet and greasy pastries prepared by the little girl according to her own taste.

Wei Yunzhu stretched out a hand solemnly, signaling: "Sit."

Pei Ji chuckled: "The Princess is here to thank you?"

Wei Yunzhu watched him sit down, then nodded, reached out and pushed a plate of her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of the man: "Thank you, I am willing to save Chenghua."

Pei Ji stared at the girl for a while, then smiled again: "Since it's thanks, the princess should have a drink with the humble minister."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, tapped the neatly placed wine jars with his fingers, and finally took a white jade wine jug, poured himself a glass, and handed it to Wei Yunzhu.

The girl had no intention of answering, she frowned slightly and said softly, "I don't drink."

A low laugh came from his ears, then he withdrew his hand and drank the wine in one gulp.

Wei Yunzhu glanced at the cabinet over there, and there was a sapphire jar similar to nectar that caught her attention, so she pointed, "What is that?"

Pei Ji replied: "Osmanthus brewing."

The girl got up and went over, leaned down and sniffed, and sure enough there was no smell of wine, only a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

A cunning flashed in her eyes, she picked up the jar and said, "Then I'll drink this."

Wei Yunzhu held the cup in his hand: "I respect you."

Pei Ji saw the girl's cleverness, poured wine for himself, and said with a deeper smile: "The sweet-scented osmanthus wine is a new treasure of my minister, the Princess, try it, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Wei Yunzhu lowered his head and sniffed the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the cup again. The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came to his nostrils, so he couldn't help but take a sip.

Not as sweet and greasy as osmanthus cake, this sweet-scented osmanthus brew retains the fragrance of osmanthus, and the faint sweetness of fermentation lingers on the tip of the tongue, which is just right.

She raised her head with bright eyes: "It's delicious."

Pei Ji turned his wrist, his black eyes remained motionless, as if he was looking at the innocent prey he had thrown himself into the net, his tone of voice implied temptation, as if fine wine was bewitching people's hearts: "The princess likes it, so just try more, I still have a lot of it."
