"Yeah." Yi Zhu restrained her thoughts and responded softly.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Pei Yuan asked with a smile.

When Yizhu heard this, she felt a little guilty for no reason, her eyes dodged, "It's not bad..."

"That's good." Pei Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand to push aside the bead curtain, "Come out and eat."

"Okay." Yizhu answered, bowed her head and walked out.

The child who was sitting at the table helping Zhao Jing arrange the dishes, saw her come out, waved to her, and said cheerfully: "Mother, come quickly, I specially brought you imperial food from the palace, you like it." food."

Yizhu smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to pass by, there was the sound of the bead curtain falling behind her, which was clear and sweet, and then Pei Yuan, who came from behind, held her hand.

She was taken aback, glanced at the child and Zhao Jing, her face burned, she gently grabbed his hand, and reminded in a low voice, "Lele is here."

"He's happy to see us like this." Pei Yuan didn't care much, held her hand tightly, and brought her to the table.

Sure enough, when the child saw the two walking over holding hands, his little face was filled with a smile, and his black eyes sparkled.

He didn't understand the feelings between adults, but he was very happy to see his father and mother together.

He hoped that every morning, he could have breakfast with his father and mother.

"Mother, sit down quickly." He eagerly urged.

Yizhu sat down on the stool beside him according to his words, "By the way, have you eaten yet?"

When she asked this question, she was a little ashamed.

She really got up too late today, it was almost noon.

The child put the chopsticks in her hand, and said crisply: "I ate with my father and grandmother in the palace, mother can eat by herself."

Looking at the table full of breakfast, Yi Zhu was stunned, "But I can't eat that much by myself..."

"It's okay, you don't need to eat all of it." Pei Yuan said warmly.

"Eat some more, okay?" Yizhu held the chopsticks and looked at the two expectantly.

Pei Yuan wanted to say that he was going to study, but upon hearing that, he agreed, "Okay."

Zhao Jing quickly added two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

The child touched his round belly, and said crisply: "I really want to eat with my mother, but I really can't eat now, so let the father eat with my mother."

"Are you really full?" Yi Zhu asked with concern.

"Really, if you don't believe me, touch my belly." The child said, took her hand and placed it on his belly.

Yizhu touched it, and it was really bulging, so she couldn't help pinching it lightly.

The child was ticklish, so when she pinched it, he giggled and threw himself into her arms.

Yi Zhu quickly hugged him, and just about to speak, Pei Yuan who was beside him stretched out his hand and lifted the child to the ground, "Since you don't want to eat, go play for a while by yourself, don't disturb your mother's meal."

"It's okay." Yizhu frowned, feeling that he was being too strict with Lele.

"Mother, let's eat, the child's stomach is too full, let's go for a walk in the garden first." The child said obediently, and followed Zhao Jing out.

For a while, only Yi Zhu and Pei Yuan were left in the room.

"Eat it while it's hot." Pei Yuan put the food on the plate for her, and urged her in a warm voice.

Yizhu said "hmm", lowered her head and started eating.

Halfway through the meal, seeing that Pei Yuan didn't eat but was sitting there looking at herself, she blushed a little and broke the silence in the room, "By the way, have you found the murderer who killed General Amu?"

"Found it." Pei Yuan nodded.

"Who is it?" Yizhu put down his chopsticks and asked curiously.

"Feng Xin is the mastermind behind the scenes, and Liu Xi, the eunuch beside her, killed General A Mu," Pei Yuan said.

Yi Zhu was very surprised when he heard this.

So, the person who planned to frame her yesterday was the Queen Mother Feng?
But why?
She didn't have any grudges with her?
Why did the Empress Dowager Feng take such pains to design such a show?
She recalled the eerie and uncomfortable feeling when she first met Empress Dowager Feng, and later, Empress Dowager Feng summoned her to the Compassionate Ning Palace on the grounds of having her portrait.

She vaguely felt that Empress Dowager Feng disliked her very much, and even wanted to kill her yesterday, but why?
"Don't think too much, eat quickly." Pei Yuan brought her some more food.

Yizhu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, thinking of something, she suddenly turned her head and stared at him.

Pei Yuan paused, "What's wrong?"

Yizhu tightened the chopsticks in his hand, but finally couldn't hold back, and said: "My lord, is it because of my lord's relationship that Queen Mother Feng framed me like that?"

Pei Yuan was taken aback, "Why do you think so?"

Yi Zhu put down her chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "I have nothing to do with her, so I won't offend her." After a pause, she continued, "Does Empress Dowager Feng have... thoughts about you?"

The words fell, and the room fell into dead silence.

She bit her lip, feeling suddenly very scared, she didn't even dare to look at Pei Yuan's expression.

But thinking of the weird atmosphere between her and Pei Yuan when she met Empress Dowager Feng in the Imperial Garden, she strengthened her mind again.

Empress Dowager Feng is still very young, about the same age as Pei Yuan, and has been widowed for so many years, if it wasn't because she had thoughts about Pei Yuan, why would she target her everywhere, and even want to kill her?
Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason.

After thinking about it, Yi Zhu mustered up the courage to look at Pei Yuan.

But the man's thin lips were slightly pursed, his face was cold and gloomy, and his body exuded a murderous aura, which was very frightening.

She had never seen him like this before, and her heart sank.

It seems that she guessed right.

She bit her lower lip and reached out to hold his hand, only to realize that his fingers were actually cold.

"My lord?" She looked at him worriedly.

Pei Yuan turned to stare at her, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

Yizhu's heart trembled, he took his hand with both hands, and rubbed it lightly, "If the prince thinks what I said is wrong, just tell me, but please don't do this, I, I'm afraid..."

She suddenly regretted in her heart that she shouldn't have spoken so bluntly.

After all, he and Fengxin are uncles and sisters-in-law. If Fengxin really has thoughts about him, it would be a blasphemy and an insult to his character.

"I just said nonsense, don't take it to heart, okay?" She said anxiously.

"It's disgusting!" Pei Yuan said suddenly.

Yizhu was startled, all the blood on his face disappeared, he stared at him blankly, "What?"

Seeing her like this, Pei Yuan finally came back to his senses, and stretched out his hand to hug her tightly.

"I'm not talking about you, but that woman is disgusting." His voice was flat, but his tone was disgusted.

Yizhu leaned against his chest, and heaved a sigh of relief.

She thought he was talking about her just now.

"Not long after my emperor's brother passed away, that woman actually... stripped naked and lay on my bed.

At that time, after losing the prince and brother, my father couldn't bear the blow, and soon passed away. For this reason, the kings of all walks of life were ready to move, and foreign countries were also eyeing. At that time, Chen'er was only five years old, and he couldn't shake the court Get on those old foxes.

I have to restrain the courtiers, but also beware of foreigners and kings, so I am busy until late every day.

In order to facilitate the handling of government affairs, I stayed in the palace during that time, but that night, I returned to the house tired, only to lie down, only to find a naked body lying under the quilt..."

The man's cold, gloomy and disgusted voice fell on his ears, and Yizhu was shocked and distressed.

He was talking about Queen Mother Feng, right?

It's really disgusting.

She is the concubine of Prince Zhao Lie, how dare she seduce Pei Yuan, her brother-in-law?
Besides, Pei Yuan was still young at that time, so he must have been disgusted when he suddenly encountered such a thing.
