Chapter 203 Han Qingqing comes to Pei Mansion.
Pei Zhijin's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "The evidence you provided is very useful. The Queen Mother has already handed over the military power, and the Pan family of Xuzhou will be taken back to the capital to be executed soon."
Lin Yiyi frowned, "Didn't King Cheng enter the palace?"
Pei Zhijin shook his head.
As expected, they thought of using the overthrow of the Queen Mother to lure out King Cheng, but they didn't expect that King Cheng would outwit them.
Lin Yiyi didn't dare tell Pei Zhijin about Jiang Xue's condition, because she knew that once she told Pei Zhijin, he would definitely break into the palace regardless of his own life and take Jiang Xue away even if he died.
Pei Zhijin looked at Lin Yiyi and asked worriedly, "How is Jiang Xue?"
Lin Yiyi came back to her senses and shook her head uncomfortably, “I didn’t see her.”
Pei Zhijin looked depressed after hearing this. He lowered his head slightly, and his heart suddenly tightened. Then he clenched his hands and frowned, as if he was enduring the pain. He said, "You go back first."
Then he stood up and strode out of the front hall.
Wang Ziyan watched Pei Zhijin leave quickly, and looked at Lin Yiyi in confusion, "What happened to him?"
Lin Yiyi just saw Pei Zhijin's expression, and then she became worried, so she looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "Can you contact Gu Yu?"
Wang Ziyan's brows drooped instantly, and he asked jealously, "What do you want to do with him?"
"The poison in Pei Zhijin's body has taken effect. It seems that only Gu Yu can solve it now."
Wang Ziyan suddenly realized what was going on and nodded, saying, "I'll have someone send a message to Gu Yu right away."
When Lin Yiyi and Wang Ziyan came out of Pei Mansion, they met Han Qingqing at the door.
Lin Yiyi frowned and asked Xiang Hanqingqing, "Why are you here?"
There was no trace of surprise in Han Qingqing's eyes, as if she knew that Lin Yiyi and the others were with Pei Zhijin.
Dressed in simple and elegant clothes, she looked like a lotus in clear water, with a smile on her face. She bowed slightly and said, "I am here to see Master Pei."
"You and Master Pei don't seem to be close enough to allow you to come in and out of other people's homes at will, right?"
"Lord Pei said that I can enter and leave the Pei Mansion at will." Han Qingqing said softly, but there was a look of boasting in her eyes.
Lin Yiyi wanted to say something, but Han Qingqing took the lead and said, "You two, I'll go in first."
Lin Yiyi watched Han Qingqing being helped into Pei's residence, as if she was returning to her own home. No one went in to report at the door, so she looked at Wang Ziyan with an unhappy expression and asked, "Did she just declare her sovereignty to us?"
Prince Yan shook his head in confusion, but then his eyes turned and he immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
Lin Yiyi shook her head angrily and said, "No, Pei Zhijin's poison has already taken effect. We can't let Han Qingqing take advantage of this opportunity. I'll go in and take a look."
Having said that, he walked in quickly.
Prince Yan followed immediately.
As expected, Han Qingqing went straight to Pei Zhijin's yard as soon as she entered, as if she was familiar with the place.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Han Qingqing has not seen Pei Zhijin. She asked people to look for him several times, but Pei Zhijin always refused. Finally, she couldn't help but go to find Pei Zhijin in person.
Han Qingqing stood outside the house, tidied her dress and hair a little, then opened the door without knocking.
Pei Zhijin was sweating all over because of the poison that had just taken effect. He had just taken off his coat when he heard the door open. His expression immediately became serious, he put on his clothes, picked up the sword next to him and quickly pointed it towards the door.
Han Qingqing was slightly stunned when she saw Pei Zhijin pointing a sword at her.
"Why are you here?" Pei Zhijin frowned and asked Han Qingqing, then put away his sword.
Han Qingqing looked at Pei Zhijin, who had not put on his clothes, revealing his large chest muscles, and couldn't help blushing. Pei Zhijin reacted and hurriedly pulled up his clothes, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"
Han Qingqing hurriedly shifted her gaze and looked away, and said awkwardly: "I didn't know you were... Well, I just wanted to ask you, will you go to the Fahua Temple to pray for Gu Lang tomorrow?"
Pei Zhijin's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "It's to pray for Brother Gu. I will definitely go."
Han Qingqing's nervous expression relaxed after hearing Pei Zhijin's answer. She looked at Pei Zhijin again and saw that his forehead was covered with sweat. She asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?"
As he said this, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and walked towards Pei Zhijin.
Before Pei Zhijin could stop her, Lin Yiyi rushed in quickly and stood in front of Han Qingqing.
Han Qingqing paused, looking slightly stunned, and then looked at Lin Yiyi and said: "Miss Lin, what is this..."
Lin Yiyi directly took away Han Qingqing's handkerchief and threw it on the ground, then looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Your handkerchief has a strong fragrance. I'm afraid that Master Pei will faint after smelling it."
There was no expression on Pei Zhijin's face, except that the brows that had been slightly furrowed had relaxed.
Han Qingqing looked at Lin Yiyi who suddenly appeared, and asked with a smile: "I just saw that Master Pei was sweating profusely, and I wanted to wipe it for him."
"Come on, how could I not know what you're thinking?" Lin Yiyi said straight to the point.
Lin Yiyi's smile froze on her face. She clenched her hands in her sleeves and shouted in her heart that she must not lose her composure. She must not lose her composure!
Then he forced a smile and said, "Miss Lin, I don't know what you are talking about. Tomorrow is the day when Gu Lang will pray at the Fahua Temple. I just came here to ask if Master Pei will go. Did you... misunderstand something?"
"Humph, Miss Han, we are both women. I have seen many green tea lovers like you. You are trying to get close to Master Pei by using that Gu Lang you mentioned. Your intentions are obvious."
"You..." Han Qingqing frowned slightly, then looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Master Pei, should I... not come to see you?"
Pei Zhijin looked at Han Qingqing and said nothing biased. He just said calmly, "I will go tomorrow. You go back first."
Han Qingqing's heart trembled. Pei Zhijin used to care about her in every way, fearing that she would suffer any injustice, but now, for the sake of Jiang Xue, he actually ignored her time and time again.
Han Qingqing clasped her hands tightly, feeling extremely unwilling. Pei Zhijin could only care about himself. Who the hell was Jiang Xue? Why!
Reluctance was clamoring in her heart, and it was also corroding Han Qingqing's brain. Suddenly, Li Lingxuan's words appeared in her mind, "If you want to marry Pei Zhijin, this king can help you."
Every cell in Han Qingqing's body was controlling herself, as if her brain was out of control, and her expression gradually became gloomy.
Lin Yiyi looked at Han Qingqing's unhappy expression and her eyes were no longer as clear and bright as before. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Sure enough, this Han Qingqing just liked Pei Zhijin.
Then he crossed his arms and asked, "What's the matter? Miss Han, do you need someone to carry you back?"
Hearing Lin Yiyi's voice, Han Qingqing regained consciousness and controlled her emotions. Then she looked at Pei Zhijin with a wronged look and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
