White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

From Yichun's point of view, Wen Ning is married to Pei You, and this matter was undoubtedly discussed by the two of them back then.

It was nothing more than the fact that Pei You had just been admitted back to the Duke's mansion at that time, and it was inconvenient to come forward.

Otherwise, for a little girl like Wen Ning, the price would be 4000 taels. Where did the money come from? !

But after he finished speaking, under the dim candlelight, the prince's eyelids twitched violently.

"What did you say?" His black eyes suddenly became deep, and he stared at him for a moment, as if he didn't know anything about it.

It was only then that Yichun realized that he might have made a mistake in his calculations, but he said everything, this... Husband and wife are a family, so it doesn't count as him revealing the privacy of the guests, right? !

"4000 two to save the lives of the master and servant of the king's house." Yichun quickly convinced himself, and made it clear, "After the matter is completed, the person will be sent away from the capital, and he will not be allowed to return to the capital for a year. But the king's house was only It's just the Wang couple, so I only sent these two away, and returned a pair of jasper earrings from Mrs. Wang as a token. If you go back and ask her about this, there is absolutely no lie!"

A gust of wind passed by, and the already dim candlelight flickered in the dark cell, making the complexion of the person on the grand master's chair even more gloomy.

Yichun looked at him with a pair of eyes that seemed to be completely calm and without waves, but also seemed to be brewing stormy waves under the superficial calm.After a while, he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse: "When did it happen?"

Yichun didn't even need to think about it: "Just in April of Jiahe's 14th year, you were there that day, drinking downstairs, and you two had a fight because of it."

Although he doesn't care much about the men and women in the building, Wen Ning is his guest, and Yichun is deeply impressed by this.

Pei You was silent for a while, and asked, "What else?"

"What else?" Yichun asked bluntly.

But seeing the corners of Pei You's pursed lips, she hesitated again, and hurriedly said: "At that time, Mrs. Zun didn't seem sure whether the royal residence would catch fire. After the incident, I had a message that I wanted to sell it to her for 5000 taels. She didn't like it. Gui refused."

After all, he is a person who is used to "business", Yichun immediately said: "This news is worth 5000 taels, it is definitely not a scam! My son, if I tell you for free, you let me go?"

Pei You twitched the corner of his mouth expressionlessly: "Is it up to you now?"

Yichun never imagined that the gentle and refined Zhuangyuan Lang who rode on a tall horse when he was parading in the street back then would have such a cold and surly side. In the Jianghu...wouldn't he be a big devil?

He shivered, and felt that he could no longer negotiate the terms desperately: "My son's hands and eyes are open to the sky, I must have found out by myself now. The fire in the Wang's house that night was man-made. People who went to work that night saw a few masked men." They rushed in to set the fire, the few people probably didn’t expect that someone was guarding nearby, they didn’t pretend too much, and they all had Fubingwei’s badges on their waists.”

There was a moment of silence in the dark cell.

Yichun rubbed the goosebumps on his body, and said bitterly: "Master Pei, who knows every detail, I really only met Mrs. Zun twice! The first time was when she used money to find me to do something, and the second time was when I asked She went to Yichun Garden to get a token, I don't even remember what she looks like, really didn't..."

"Where's Yingyao?" Pei You suddenly looked at him, "Xichenyan, Yingyao, explain clearly."

Yichun looked at Pei You with a look of astonishment: "What cleansing banquet? Yingyao? Your Madam also knows Yingyao?"

The cold dark prison fell into silence again, the lamps and candles were flickering, and there was no sound at all.
-
"Shh!"

With a sudden slap on the shoulder, Wen Ning's three souls went to the seven souls, and the people behind him also knew that he had frightened her, so they gave a soft "shh" with their index fingers, and then took Wen Ning's hand to the side Walk.

Wen Ning turned her head, just in time to catch a glimpse of Pei Guogong coming out of it, and walked away quickly, without even looking at something falling out of his sleeve.

"I'm really sorry, I was in the courtyard just now, and I didn't hear you coming in." Princess Zhaohe smiled, looking very friendly, "Chaoyang Palace is my aunt's former residence, and today is my aunt's birthday. I want to come to my uncle. If you celebrate her birthday with her, you should..."

She tilted her head and looked at Wen Ning with her clear eyes, "Didn't you hear anything you shouldn't have heard?"

Wen Ning's heart was in a mess, her mind was full of the conversation between Princess Caichang and Duke Pei, when Princess Zhaohe asked this question, she moved her lips in a daze, but did not make a sound.

"You should be hungry?" Princess Showa laughed again, "I'll take you to eat."

Wen Ning followed Princess Showa subconsciously, and had to separate her mind from her chaotic mind to deal with the current situation.

Princess Showa is holding an icy pine branch in her hand, her hair is covered with snow, and the bottom of her skirt is wet. It looks like she was really enjoying the rime in the yard just now.

She smiled so innocently, it didn't look like she was deliberately leading her to listen to the conversation between the eldest princess and Pei Guogong.

But she appeared by such a coincidence...

If she lured her here on purpose, what was the purpose?

Wen Ning's mind was even more confused, but fortunately Linglan kept supporting her, she just followed Linglan's pace and walked forward.

"Wen... oh no, now it's time to call you cousin." When she was about to arrive at Chaolu Palace, Princess Zhaohe turned her head and handed the pine branch wrapped in ice to Wen Ning, "Cousin, look at this, it looks beautiful." ?"

Wen Ning had recovered somewhat, glanced at the crystal clear pine branches, and said with a slight smile, "It's pretty."

"It's a pity." Princess Zhaohe sighed, "It only shines brightly because of the ice. After entering the palace, the ice melts away, and it is nothing."

Saying that, he threw the pine branch directly on the ground.

"Let's go, cousin, Zhaohe has been looking forward to you for a long time." He enthusiastically pulled Wen Ning into Chaolu Palace.

This time in Chaolu Palace, Wen Ning was naturally not as talkative as when she first came here.

Firstly, she still remembers the conversation between Princess Chang and Duke Pei, secondly, her status is different now, and her mood is even more different, thirdly...she and Princess Zhaohe have only met for the third time, so they are really not familiar.

Princess Zhaohe talked more this time than last time, focusing on talking about Pei You.

"Speaking of which, it's a bit of a disadvantage for me to call you cousin sister-in-law." Princess Zhaohe kept smiling, "The son is only three days older than me. At that time, the father and the emperor entrusted the mother to the aunt. He is dishonest, the month is younger than me, and he came out early, so that when the empress gave birth, there was not even a capable person around her."

"The year the son was found, the father was very happy." She ate the meal leisurely, smiling while eating, "The reward for the son was too generous at that time, which made the second and fourth brothers dissatisfied. You came to me and wanted me to persuade father and emperor. I dare not, and mother and queen have not been able to persuade me, how can I persuade you?"

"What happened to the second younger brother a few days ago made the father sad and angry. Recently, the fourth younger brother has frequently acted in the court, which also made the father unhappy. Hey..." Princess Zhaohe sighed, "If I Like the son of the world, he is a man with both ability and responsibility, and it would be great if he can relieve father's worries."

Wen Ning got more and more biased when she heard this, and was about to stop her, but Princess Zhaohe stopped her words in time: "In this way, the emperor father and the queen mother will not quarrel."

She looked at Wen Ning and smiled.Wen Ning couldn't tell whether the smile was real or not.

Fortunately, she didn't mention Pei You any more after that, Wen Ning was determined to eat dinner quickly so that she could leave the banquet and go home.

"Although there is a lot of noise outside, it is said that the eldest son has raised an outer room, and how he loves him so much." Before leaving, Princess Zhaohe held Wen Ning's hand, "But I still think that the only thing he cares about is you."

Zhaohe smiled: "I saw the New Year's Eve dinner last time, the way he looked at you."

"It's cold after winter, and it's boring to think about my cousin staying at home." She took out a book and stuffed it directly into Wen Ning's hands, "This is a Buddhist scripture that my mother hand-copied when she was still ill. If you have time, why not?" Also copy the scriptures and pray for the son."

Wen Ning only felt that Princess Zhaohe's behavior was very strange tonight. On the carriage back home, she turned the scriptures back and forth, and it was indeed just a scripture.

"Girl, why do I feel... this princess Zhaohe is acting weird tonight." Even Linglan sensed that something was wrong, "Could it be that the empress has lost her power, she felt that she was not reliable, and then she thought of you marrying my son-in-law again, I'm talking about my aunt both openly and secretly..."

It was already dark, probably already past the time of Haishi, and fine snow particles began to float in the sky again.The heater that Wen Ning carried with her was already completely cold, and she just felt the cold wind blowing towards her heart, making her extremely uneasy.

"Linglan, tell the carriage to go faster."

But at this moment in the dark prison, no one has spoken for half an hour.

Yichun was so cold that she didn't know which posture to use to shiver.Gu Fei and Tu Bai had already exchanged a lot of winks.

Just after asking about Xichenyan and Yingyao, Shizi said half a word again.

The reason why it is half a sentence is because Shizi seemed to realize that it was unnecessary and stopped in the middle of the sentence.

He said, "The Toon Street..."

On the other hand, Yichun only said half of what he said and didn't feel happy, and couldn't hold back: "What Xiangton Street? I have never been to Xiangton Street with Mrs. Zun!"

Then the son fell silent.

The dim candlelight flickered slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered slightly, the crow feathers lightly covered his eyelids, and he was as silent as a long-lasting ancient painting, only the small mole on the side of his nose showed a vivid red color under the candlelight.

Gu Fei immediately went to see Pei You's hand.

On the thumb of Pei You's right hand, there is a white jade finger ring. Gu Fei knows that it was given to him by his wife. He likes it very much. When thinking about things, he likes to gently rub the finger ring.

Sure enough, although he didn't move at this moment, he put his hand on the finger and stroked it very gently.

It's just that no one can guess what he found out from Mr. Yi's few words.

Moreover, the time he pondered this time was indeed a bit long.

"Let him go." Just when Gu Fei thought Pei You would sit here for an hour, Pei You finally spoke.

Without looking at Mr. Yi again, he got up and strode out.

Gu Fei gave Tu Bai a wink and told him to take care of Mr. Yi's business, and follow Pei You by himself.

It was snowing outside, and the wind was biting cold.

"Where's Madam?" Pei You asked after leaving the prison.

When Princess Zhaohe's carriage went to pick up Wen Ning, it was the time when Pei You was on duty, and then they went into the dark prison and never came out again, so Gu Fei didn't know about Wen Ning's entry into the palace.

"Should be waiting for the prince in Qinghui hall."

He knew that the relationship between the husband and wife could not be better recently, and Wen Ning would turn on the lights in Qinghui hall every night to wait for the son to go back.

Pei You walked faster.

The dark prison does not come in and out directly from the mansion, but the exit is not far from the Duke's mansion.

Pei You walked quickly and arrived at the entrance of the mansion in a short time, and Wen Ning's carriage was also at the main entrance at this time.

As soon as Wen Ning got out of the carriage, she saw Pei You walking quickly in the night; Pei You was all about Qinghui Hall, when she looked up, she saw someone in front of her, and she hurriedly got out of the carriage when she saw him.

Wen Ning tugged at her cloak, and walked quickly towards Pei You, who also walked towards Wen Ning, dressed in an official uniform.

Seeing that there was only a short distance away, the two of them stopped at the same time.

Snow particles fluttered under the light of the candles and fell between the two of them.

The person who obviously said goodbye in the morning, it was only a day, it seemed like a long time, countless words were swimming in the Yingying water that looked at each other.
