Chapter 1137 Martial Law
The spring sunshine was just right, so Mrs. Pei asked her servants to clear up the backyard of her home and plant various vegetable seeds. Originally, she wanted to raise a few chickens, but she thought the yard was so big and she didn't cultivate any land at home, so there was nothing for the chickens to eat. Yes, I gave up. When Tao Zhen gave birth to the child, I could just go out and buy some chicken and eggs.

Probably because of the twins, Tao Zhen's belly looked bigger than other pregnant women at this month, and she was already starting to show her pregnancy.

Pei Zhan is away, and the only man in the family is Pei Heng, who no longer lives in the academy. This is a house bought by Tao Zhen and his mother, and Zhao Yunci can't say anything when he comes back.

As for that cheap second brother, Pei Heng was really afraid of him. That person was unpredictable. He was smiling at you one moment, but he might turn against you and kill you the next moment.

Pei Heng naturally knew that he had suffered, but it was not caused by him. He didn't owe Zhao Yunci anything, so he disliked this second brother very much.

It's just... it's useless if he doesn't like him. Zhao Yunci doesn't care at all, and he has a hard fist. No matter how unhappy Pei Heng is, he still has to walk around when he sees him, which is very depressing.

Not long after, news came out from the palace that the emperor had woken up. When Mrs. Pei went out to buy groceries, she could feel the entire Shengjing capital falling into an unspeakable tension.

After she came back, she told Tao Zhen that she was also worried about Pei Zhan. Tao Zhen felt that judging from the national conditions of Qi, it might not be a good thing for the emperor to wake up, and the fact that the emperor woke up was closely related to Pei Zhan, so she was a little worried. Pei Zhan’s situation.

Tao Zhen said, "Mom, we haven't been going out recently. I think Shengjing may not be very peaceful."

Mrs. Pei was not stupid either. She nodded: "I'll tell Xiao Heng not to run around after school later."

Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little nervous.

It rained in April, and the emperor took people out to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival. This appearance further confirmed the rumors that the emperor was now fine.

Some people are happy and some are sad, but this has nothing to do with the Pei family. The doctor came to check Tao Zhen's pulse and said that she was in good health and her two children were developing well, so there was nothing to worry about.

Mrs. Pei was very happy and sent the doctor away. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily made dumplings to eat. Pei Heng ate more than half of them by himself and gave some to Li Hui. Li Hui proposed to bid farewell. He planned to Go back to Yanbei to see your family.

Mrs. Pei nodded. She had relied on Li Hui to take care of him for so many years, and she had long regarded him as her son. She was reluctant to leave when Li Hui left. Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked her to bring a cart full of things to Li Hui, including specialties from Qi State. Fine cotton cloth, cotton, wine, medicinal materials, etc.

Not long after Li Hui left, martial law was imposed in Shengjing. It was said that someone assassinated the emperor. Several assassins were killed on the spot and some escaped. The entire Shengjing was hunting for the assassins.

There were also officers and soldiers coming to the Pei family. The people living around them were also small officials in the capital and some wealthy households. They were all not spared and were searched everywhere. However, when they arrived at the Pei family, the officers and soldiers were obviously gentle and polite. From a simple look, After a while, she left. This was because someone had said hello in advance. Despite this, Mrs. Pei still felt uneasy.

"It's like this outside, but I don't know what the situation is like in the palace." Mrs. Pei's face was filled with sadness.

Tao Zhen said: "No news is the best news. Pei Zhan should be fine."

Mrs. Pei nodded, but she was obviously a little absent-minded.

Pei Heng has not gone to the academy since he came back. He is not good at studying, has high attainments in painting, and does not take part in the imperial examination. Whether he goes to the academy or not is not important, but Pei Heng said: "The Thirteenth Princess was taken away."
