I looked at the woman on the chair who was covering her mouth and coughing gently, and looked very pale and thin. I couldn't help but frown, standing there without knowing what to do.

Han Ruoshi?

After that day, she was sick and never left the house. Today's wedding was not required to attend because of her illness, so as not to be exhausted. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, she came again and sat in my seat.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu and Han Zitong, even Miaoyan on the side, were surrounding her. Miaoyan looked at her coughing red and her face looked worried. Han Zitong gently stroked her back to help her calm her breath, and said with great concern: "Didn't you say that if you are not in good health, don't force it? Why are you again-"

"Cough cough, cough cough cough." Han Ruoshi covered her mouth with a silk squid and coughed lightly, while angrily said: "Forget it, I thought about it. No matter what, I should come here in such an occasion, even if it is a scene."

Pei Yuanxiu sighed: "But you--"

Before he finished speaking, he and Miaoyan suddenly seemed to feel something. When they raised their heads, they saw me standing in front of them, frowned slightly at Han Ruoshi's pale face and sick look.

The hand hidden in the sleeves squeezed slightly.

Han Zitong, however, was still unconscious and continued to persuade her sister: "Besides, you won't stay there when you come, why are you going to blow outside? If it catches a colder again-" As she said, she heard Miaoyan say to me: "Mom, are you back?" She also turned around and met my gaze.

Suddenly, Han Zitong was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at her sister sitting in the chair, coughing so hard that her shoulders were shaking slightly. Immediately, a cold light flashed in her eyes, as if she hadn't seen me, and turned around and patted Han Ruoshi's back: "Sister, if you are uncomfortable, you shouldn't force yourself. You will be sad when you see you like this."

At this time, Han Ruoshi also looked up at me and said with a smile: "Sister Qingying."

My fists tightened a little bit.

Facing them, when I came out of the bathroom that day, I no longer had the hope of getting along well. I beat the two maids who touched me, and I also wanted to give them a warning, but in the end, the master was not beaten, so I still had a trace of unretreated anger. Now, at the wedding of Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanzhen, I actually took my seat.

It seems that warnings are useless.

There was even a sneer on my face.

But at this moment, I suddenly remembered something. Listening to the noisy sounds coming from around me, I subconsciously looked around. There were many people in the hall, most of whom were greeting and talking to new guests, but there were also some people, those I had just watched, and even some officials who had met in the capital, subconsciously turned their attention here.

Our every move is also in the eyes of these people.

At this time, I couldn't help but hesitate.

If I want to call her up, no matter what my identity and her identity are, they are all jealous, and they will inevitably fall into a bad situation, and even make jokes for people to show.

But if I were to swallow this, I would still make this joke for everyone, including myself.

Thinking of this, my eyebrows couldn't help but frowned deeply.

At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu, who had been sitting quietly by the side, stood up and walked to me. Before I could react, he had already smiled and said, "Qingying, go with me."

I was stunned for a moment: "Where to go?"

He smiled and said, "You forgot that we haven't sent the gifts yet."

“…”

While speaking, he had reached out to me: "You and me, let's go over together and give the gift to the groom."

“…”

I couldn't speak for a moment and just stood there, but I quickly reached out and put my hand in his palm. The two servants who had been following us immediately followed him.

This time, the Han sisters sitting there were both stunned for a moment. Han Ruoshi didn't say anything, but coughed even harder, and lay on the armrest of the chair. Han Zitong protected her with one hand, and turned her head to look at us: "Young Master--"

Pei Yuanxiu looked back at her.

Just at that glance, I stood behind him and couldn't see the expression on his face. I just looked at what Han Zitong was going to say, but stopped suddenly.

Then, I heard him say calmly: "You should rest with Ruoshi for a while."

After saying that, he turned around and reached out to hold my wrist tightly, then turned his head to look at the side, and repeatedly said, "Miaoyan, do you want to go with my father and mother?"

Miaoyan looked at me, then at the figure not far behind us. Her little face became a little pale, but she just shook her head gently: "I won't go."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded and said, "Then you are here to take care of Aunt Ruoshi."

"Um."

Miaoyan turned around and walked to Han Ruoshi to look at her, but I could clearly arrive. Her eyes were a little wandering, as if she was absent-minded, and Pei Yuanxiu had turned around and smiled at me and said, "Let's go."

I walked away with his wrist. As he walked, he said, "Where did you go just now?"

"I, I'll go to the back garden and walk."

"How could I go there?"

“It’s a bit boring here.”

...

After only a few gossips, I couldn't help but turn around and take a look. I saw Han Zitong sitting in a daze on the chair, and even the hand that had been gently stroking her sister's back would not move, and she was frozen there.

I frowned slightly.

However, without waiting for me to think about anything, and before I could even say anything to Pei Yuanxiu, I felt a gust of wind, which brought the smell of water to the point, and immediately blew my broad sleeves up. When I looked back, Pei Yuanxiu had taken me to the door of the cabin, and there, Liu Qinghan was talking to a new guest. The two seemed to have a good conversation. He nodded and smiled softly.

The wind also blew through the bright red wedding dress on his body, and blushed shadows in the air.

He could not tell what he had experienced in this way. If Pei Yuanzhen had not told me, I would not even know that he had been assassinated by an assassin, even so, he would not have seen where he was injured.

But, who is it?

Feeling the gentle and gentle hand holding my wrist, I raised my head to look at Pei Yuanxiu. He also noticed my gaze and turned around and smiled at me.

I believe it's not him.

He has promised me, and he will not lie to me.

Then, who will it be?

I subconsciously turned my head to look at the other guests in the hall - among the civil and military officials, of course, there were also diversions and dispatches. Liu Qinghan had been in office for a long time, so of course he would establish some enemies, but those officials should not be the main messengers of assassination. After all, the emperor was involved. After Shen Gongyi fell, there was no force in the court to directly confront the emperor.

Thinking of this, I looked at those people again.

Yuan Mingde of Runan, Gongsun Shu of Jinhou, his youngest son Gongsun Qi, and the Lin family who smiled everywhere they went, and was a kind cloud of gentle Yunzhong, and Gongsun Lin...

And - my eyes flashed and looked in front of the hall, and at this moment, a pair of arrogant eyes also looked at me at the same time.

Suddenly, I shuddered all over.

When the two looked at each other like this, Ao Ping's dark and fleshy face appeared a faint smile, but because his face looked fierce, this smile not only did not make people feel kind, but instead felt a little hideous, as if a cheetah was hiding in the bushes and found that his prey had turned around.

It made me feel palpitations.

But he just glanced at me, then laughed again, chatted and laughed with the others around him, and drank the wine in the huge golden cup in his hand in one gulp.

I was still feeling scared, and Pei Yuanxiu seemed to feel my breathing was not smooth. He looked down at me, and seemed to be asking me with his eyes—"What's wrong?"

I hurriedly made a little smile and shook my head gently.

These people are all powerful and powerful gentry in the local area. They are also the people who are most influenced by Pei Yuanhao's new policy. Liu Qinghan has always been the greatest helper to implement the new policy. Although I know that there is Fu Badai behind him, Fu Badai is already old and is living in seclusion. In addition to providing the emperor with some opinions and information, he hardly participated in the decision-making of the righteous and upright court in the court. In this way, Liu Qinghan was pushed to the front.

If those people want to kill them, they will of course put them in the target.

The question is, who planned this assassination?

I don’t know much about these people, and I almost only saw my true face at this wedding today. It’s not that easy to find the mastermind behind these people.

But what about Liu Qinghan, did he know?

Thinking of this, I raised my head and looked forward. He finished talking to the guest in front of me. The man turned around and left. He raised his hand and bowed. I suddenly saw that when he put down his hand, he subconsciously pinched the left arm with his right hand.

There - injured.

It seems that as Pei Yuanzhen said, it was indeed just a skin injury. He didn't notice it when he got on the boat and talked to him face to face. But tonight he kept bowing to the guests. After a long time and more times, it would inevitably involve the injury. Maybe it started to hurt now.

I think that Pei Yuanhao was a little sane that day and wanted to cross the river. As the chief minister of Yangzhou Prefecture, he knew about this but did not attend the scene in person. Instead, he asked Wen Fengxi to persuade him. In fact, at that time, I felt something was wrong, but I could only think of Pei Yuanhao's pressure and what he said to me on the island, "It's only that."

Only that...

I raised my head, looked at him feeling something, and turned my head to look at us, a faint expression of astonishment suddenly floated across my face, and I smiled faintly.

A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Two."

"Groom."

Pei Yuanxiu walked forward and bowed, and Liu Qinghan also bowed: "I am sorry for the lack of hospitality."

"Where is, such a big scene today is really rare. The groom must be exhausted."

"It's okay."

I stood beside me, listening quietly to the greetings between them, as if I was still quite intimate. When the greetings were almost over, Pei Yuanxiu turned his head and said to me with a smile: "Qingying, give the gift to Lord Liu."

I nodded, turned around and took the gift box from the hand of a guard following us, and then smiled and held it in front of him: "Mr. Liu, the wedding is a big wedding."

His eyes were immediately attracted by the brocade box in my hand, and he said with a smile: "It's just that the young master and his wife have spent money."

As he said that, he reached out to take it.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, I felt that he hesitated for a moment, but immediately took the gift box, and then turned around to hand it to the servant following him. At this time, Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said, "Don't you open it and see? This is the gift I and Zhuo Jing specially selected for Lord Liu and Yuanzhen."

When Liu Qinghan heard what he said, his hand that had originally reached out froze, then took it back, and said with a smile: "I also know that the gifts from the young master and his wife must be unique. I originally planned to secretly ignorant by myself. Since the young master said that, I will take a look here."

Pei Yuanxiu also laughed when he joked like this.
