Time is passing by little by little.

I listened to the sound of the wind outside and the noise of the wind - siege and fight. Although I couldn't see it, too many experiences made me close my eyes and describe the war in the distance.

But tonight, I can't care too much about that war.

Even the two people in front of them, even though they launched this siege, they may not be completely concerned about the result of the siege at this moment.

After all, having someone around you who is not the same as you, this kind of thing is difficult for any person with high status and power. If you don’t find this person, it is difficult to imagine that it will cause great damage to what you want to do in the future.

Pei Yuanxiu must have wanted to capture this person very much.

Han Ruoshi, sitting in the middle of the room, although she was also a pregnant woman, her spirit was obviously much better than mine. Even though she didn't say a word, her eyes were bright. She was shaking the tip of her nails, while occasionally looking up at us.

Pei Yuanxiu sat next to the couch, put his hands on his knees and closed his eyes to rest.

While I was lying on the couch, the half bowl of medicine I had just drunk had already taken effect, my eyelids were heavy, and my sleepiness came in waves, but I forced myself to keep myself from falling asleep. Sometimes I was so sleepy that I pinched my thighs with one hand under the quilt, which made me tremble.

After all, I don't want to wake up and everything will be a foregone conclusion.

No matter whether it is good or bad, I must witness it and experience it with myself, otherwise I am afraid that I will regret it and make irreparable mistakes.

Seeing me shaking my head and raising my head again, Pei Yuanxiu sighed, opened his eyes and turned to look at me: "Why are you not sleeping yet?"

I didn't look at his eyes: "I can't sleep."

"Didn't you just take the medicine?"

"Maybe, only half a bowl."

"Then, I'll let someone go and have a little more for you?"

I shook my head: "It's already midnight, and it's useless to drink it. Besides-" I said, looking at Han Ruoshi who was silent: "Didn't Madam sleep, too?"

When Han Ruoshi heard me talking about her, she turned around and said with a smile: "I'm waiting to watch tonight's big show."

I smiled and said, "Then, I'll join in the fun."

Han Ruoshi laughed.

We were really as if we were waiting for a good show to happen. Although I kept listening with my breath, the sound of killing in the distance was endless. I guess at least four people would attack Cangzhou City tonight. So this war, whether it was to capture the traitor or not, for the military and civilians of Cangzhou City who had been out of food for a period of time, it was a life-and-death battle.

But I still have to keep my face calm.

Pei Yuanxiu looked at us without saying anything. After a while of silence, he got up and walked to the door, pushed the door open and went out.

At this time, I heard a burst of voices from outside.

He held the fence and looked down and asked, "Who?"

Someone immediately replied below, but the voice was too low and I didn't hear it clearly. Han Ruoshi also frowned and got up and walked out. Pei Yuanxiu turned around and looked at me, saying, "Old Mrs. Zhang is here."

When I heard this, I hurriedly got up and walked out.

Looking down, I saw a light flashing in front of me. Many people surrounded the old man and walked over. She was clamoring all the way, as if she was looking for someone. Pei Yuanxiu and I looked at each other, and hurried downstairs without saying anything.

As soon as I got off the stairs, I heard the anxious voice of Mrs. Zhang: "Where are they? Why are none of them here?"

"Old ancestor, don't worry."

"How about not being in a hurry? Where are my sons and my grandchildren?"

"Old ancestors, they are going to do important things."

"What's so important? It's so hard to sleep in the middle of the night. And why are there so noisy outside?"

...

When I saw the old man getting more and more anxious, he was really like a confused old man, looking for his children and grandchildren in horror. If Song Xuan had not said those words to me before, I wouldn't believe that she was actually pretending to be stupid. Looking back on every word she said to me before, it seemed like an old man's boring nagging, but I don't know how much her thoughts were.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart - she didn't know how much perseverance she had used to pretend to be crazy and stupid for so long, deceived her children and grandchildren who had been together day and night, and had a deep understanding of justice and choice to stand on the emperor's side.

I walked over and said softly, "Old Lady."

When she heard my voice, she looked up at me: "Daughter-in-law?"

I heard Pei Yuanxiu's breathing sinking a little, but he didn't say anything, and just walked with me to Old Lady Zhang. The old man grabbed me: "It's good that you're here. Where are they? Where are Xuan'er and the others?"

I looked into her eyes. Although the dark night had been lit by the lanterns in the hands of the maids and servants, all the lights combined were not as bright as the old man's eyes.

However, her hands were very cold. She probably walked from the garden to this side. She had already been cold for the wind. I also reached out to cover the back of her hand and said softly: "They are going to do business and will be back in a while."

"ah?"

She seemed a little relieved and nodded gently. Pei Yuanxiu also stepped forward. When Old Lady Zhang saw him, she immediately possessed herself and saluted: "Your Highness the Prince."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "The old man is so late, why don't he sleep?"

The little maid who supported Mrs. Zhang said softly: "Old ancestors had just slept lightly, but just now a sudden sound woke her up. She kept clamoring to come over to find the master, the young master and the others."

"..." Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a moment, and then said, "They were going to do my business for me. The old man had to wait for them to come back, so why not go upstairs and sit down. The room was warm and we would wait for them together."

Old Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince."

I helped the old man slowly climb to the second floor. Han Ruoshi stood at the door and took two steps back at this time, watching everyone helping the old man to sit by the couch. Old Mrs. Zhang looked up at Pei Yuanxiu and said, "I don't know what important things the Crown Prince sent them to do. When will they come back?"

Pei Yuanxiu probably didn't have time to make up this and was silent for a moment.

At this time, a smiley, cold voice said, "They are going to catch spies."

Looking back, it was Han Ruoshi who walked slowly over.

"Spy?" Old Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "What spy?"

"Spy, don't you understand? You are just villains who are traitors and traitors!"

"Oh? There are still people like this?"

"Of course, such a person is the most hated. People in the world want to kill him quickly." Han Ruoshi curled a little sneer and walked over step by step: "Old man, what should you do if you catch such a person?"

My brows frowned immediately.

Han Ruoshi, she had dug the pit for me before and asked me to jump in, but now she is digging the pit for this old man again!

I was about to stop her, but Old Mrs. Zhang had already raised her clear eyes, and her eyes flashed slightly under the candlelight: "Didn't you just say that everyone in the world wants to kill them quickly? Then such a traitor should be killed to serve as a warning to you."

Han Ruoshi immediately smiled so hard that her eyes bent: "The old man is really wise."

As she said that, her tone became colder again: "I hope that the old man can still understand the righteousness so deeply in a while."

"Ruoshi!" At this time, probably Pei Yuanxiu also felt that her words were too explicit, so he shouted heavily. Han Ruoshi looked up at him, immediately looked like he knew his mistake, lowered his head and took a step back.

At this time, Old Lady Zhang looked up at Pei Yuanxiu and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of being Your Highness. The people under this command, even the maid, are so sensible."

Han Ruoshi's face was stunned.

Old Mrs. Zhang said: "The emperor often praises His Highness the Crown Prince's homework and articles. He has a deep virtue. His Highness can not only cultivate himself, but also teach these servants through words and deeds. It is really amazing."

“…”

Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything for a moment, and Han Ruoshi gritted her teeth, her face turned blue with anger, and she stomped her feet hard for a while.

I sat aside. Although I was nervous, I saw that Old Lady Zhang was pretending to be crazy and ridiculed Han Ruoshi at this time. Although she had done this before, I thought she was really ignorant. Now I realized that she did it on purpose. I couldn't help but pursed the corners of her lips.

She turned her head and said to me, "Daughter-in-law, the head of the family must use such a girl."

I nodded: "Oh."

Our concert was so angry that Han Ruoshi was so angry that she couldn't breathe, and I could also feel that she stared at us with almost resentful eyes, hoping to see two holes in our bodies.

No matter how ridiculed it, no matter how ridiculed it, my mood continued to sink again after laughing.

Old Mrs. Zhang knew that they were going to catch spies, but now, no matter whether we were not familiar with each other, just under the eyes of Pei Yuanxiu and Han Ruoshi, they dared not say or do more, so they could only wait for the result outside.

The old man gently stroked the back of my hand, as if he wanted to help me calm my rapid breathing.

I glanced at her and she smiled softly at me.

Just then, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.

Although Old Mrs. Zhang came here just now, she was full of people and talkative footsteps, this time, she was not like them. Instead, she seemed like a group of people clamoring in, almost making a big fuss.

Pei Yuanxiu immediately walked out, Han Ruoshi followed closely behind, and I held Old Mrs. Zhang's arm and walked outside the door.

The four of them stood in the corridor, holding the fence and looking down. It was indeed a group of people, and they were really noisy and came over with a few masked men in black.

As soon as they walked downstairs, the person who was escorting people looked up.

When I saw it, my heart suddenly became sank.
