Nagato has such a slim waist

It was also on Pei Jue’s birthday.

At that time, Feng Yun had just entered the general's mansion not long ago, and she was still afraid and curious about everything. Everyone said that the general was the only woman around him, and he must be extremely doted on. She also subconsciously imitated the appearance of a good wife, doing housework for him, making soup and making clothes.

Normally, Pei Jue would not necessarily have much emotion towards her kindness, but he would always accept it and sometimes even give gifts in return.

She made a bowl of soup.

He would send someone to deliver a green jade.

She embroidered a sachet.

He would have someone make a dress for her.

When the two were together, there was no romantic love or sweet talk, but in their daily life, Pei Jue always followed her instructions and let her do what she wanted.

But that time, when Pei Jue saw the new clothes she had sewn with her own hands, he was far from being as happy as he was today...

He seemed to have a grudge against his birthday, almost hating it.

Feng Yun spent a long time making that dress. She finally mustered up the courage to hold it in front of him, and said, "Congratulations, General," as if she were presenting a treasure. However, he just looked at her coldly, didn't even touch it, and walked away.

Maybe it's been too long.

Or maybe she had suffered so much in her previous life that she had forgotten such trivial matters.

Now when I recall those cold eyes like ice knives, my heart still feels a tearing pain.

Feng Yun smiled softly, "At that time, I wanted to please the general, but I ended up flattering him. It's embarrassing."

"I'm sorry." Pei Jue's throat choked slightly. He lowered his head to look at her, stood still for a moment, and gave a belated explanation, "This day is not my birthday, it's just the day my father picked me up... and it's also the anniversary of my biological mother's death."

It was the day he witnessed his mother being abused to death.

"I was overwhelmed with grief at the time, but I shouldn't have let Yunniang down."

Feng Yun slowly reached out and clasped his fingertips.

In her previous life, she didn't know that Pei Cong had experienced such a thing.

Listening to it now, I suddenly understand.

Pei Cong had already suspected that the Feng family was involved in Xie Xian's death, so she must be the daughter of the enemy who killed his parents and Xie's army. On the anniversary of his biological mother's death, he received a gift from the daughter of his enemy, and he was filled with resentment, but he had no way to tell anyone.

Her grievance was shown on her face, but Pei Jue's torment was in his heart.

Feng Yun felt relieved when he thought about it.

After all, he hated her to the extreme at that time, but he just walked away and didn't take it out on her.

She raised her head and whispered, "I made the same mistake for the second time."

She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes full of apology, "Today, I took the initiative to celebrate your birthday so grandly. You...don't be angry with me, okay?"

Pei Jue shook his head, a strange light shrouded his black eyes, and his tone was relaxed, as if he was joking.

"Thank God, I am wearing the new clothes made by Yunniang again."

The word "again" carries the vicissitudes of two lifetimes.

Feng Yun's eyes curved slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

"I later locked that dress in a box."

"I know." Pei Jue held her face, took a deep breath, and kissed her slowly. "Later, I wore it to chase you."

Feng Yun's throat moved.

I wanted to ask something, but the man grabbed the back of my head, and all my questions were swallowed up by his hot breath.

The moon was bright that day, and the flowers and leaves were dancing in the courtyard.

Feng Yun emerged from the bath in the mist, and Pei Cong was not there.

When he returned to the house, he held a few branches of crabapple in his hands.
-
The same night after being imprisoned, Duan Wu confessed smoothly.

It was obvious that everything he did was under the instruction of Feng Jingyao. But how he stole the defense map, how he broke into the wing room of Pei's mansion, and why he had bad intentions towards Feng Ya were all a bit confusing.

Sometimes he said that someone had framed him and he was totally unaware of it. Sometimes he said that he had long coveted Feng Ya's beauty and had drunk a few too many glasses of wine. When he saw the beautiful bride enter the room, he could not control himself.

But no matter what his thoughts were, the fact that he stole the defense map was proven to be a crime, which convicted Feng Jingyao.

Of course, Feng Jingyao refused to admit it.

He flatly denied Duan Wu's testimony, saying that he was unaware of it. At the same time, he came as an envoy of Qi and asked Jin to notify Qi.

At the same time, such voices were also heard in the Jin court.

He believed that Jin's private handling of Feng Jingyao would cause dissatisfaction in Qi, which would once again trigger disputes between Jin and Qi and lead to the reignition of the war.

Ruan Pu said bluntly, "Not to mention that stealing the defense map was Duan Wu's one-sided statement, even if it was really done by Feng Jingyao, he should have informed Qi before making a decision."

Ao Zheng disagreed with his opinion and refuted it immediately.

"Duan Wu was an official under Feng Jingyao, and Feng Jingyao was on a diplomatic mission as a representative of Qi. What Duan Wu did was what Qi did. Minister Ruan, Qi dared to take advantage of the tiger's mouth, so how can our Great Jin be a coward?"

Ruan Pu angrily scolded Ao Zheng for being reckless.

Ao Zheng sneered, laughing at Ruan Pu for being a wimp.

The two argued back and forth for several times, but in the end no one won or lost.

This matter should be decided by the emperor.

However, on the evening of the day when Emperor Wenzhi returned from a banquet at Pei's Mansion, he claimed to be unwell and had not attended court for three days.

The ministers took turns to visit the emperor in Chongzheng Hall, and the imperial physicians came and went to check his pulse countless times, but none of them could explain the cause. The emperor was ill in a strange way.

The imperial doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, but he just didn't have the energy to get out of bed or go to court.

What can be done?
When the emperor was away, Pei Cong was in charge of all matters, big or small.

Pei Cong went to Chongzheng Hall and met Emperor Wenzhi.

Emperor Wenzhi was very weak due to his illness. He waved his hand weakly without hearing the whole story.

"All matters of state, big or small, are decided by Lord Pei. With Lord Pei here, you won't have to ask for my opinion in the future."

Pei Cong was not the only one who heard this.

Ruan Pu, Ao Zheng, and several princes and ministers were present.

Everyone felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their hearts, heavy and heavy.

I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I was powerless to change it.
-
The next day, Pei Cong summoned court officials to the Zhenghe Hall to discuss the matter and made final decision on the matter of the envoy from Qi stealing the defense map.

"Send Duan Wu's confession to Taicheng. Say that the evidence is irrefutable. To consolidate the foundation of the Jin state, we will execute the envoy of Qi by beheading him at Xuanhua Gate on April 15th to serve as a warning to others and demonstrate the prestige of our country."
-
The letter from the Jin Dynasty was sent on a galloping horse to Taicheng of Qi.

It was still unpredictable what Xiao Cheng would do after receiving the news. On the other side, Pei Cong waited for the messenger to leave the city, then summoned Wen Xingsui and Helian Qian for a secret talk in the study.

The next day, a series of military orders flew out of Xijing and were conveyed to the border of Dajin, such as Xinyi bordering Qi. The Beiyong army was on high alert to prevent Qi from raising an army.

March of the first year of the Jin Dynasty's Wenzhi reign passed just like that.

In early April, Yao Ru arrived in Xijing together with the messenger of the Beiyong Army.

It is a pity that Doctor Yao, who was originally scheduled to treat the young Emperor Tianshou, delayed his visit to Beijing for such a long time that he ended up treating Emperor Wenzhi instead.

These days, there has been a lot of discussion in the court because of Emperor Wenzhi's strange illness.

He fell ill after returning from Pei's house. The onset of the illness was inexplicable, and all the famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital and Xijing had examined him, but no one could tell the cause of the illness.

The young emperor who had just passed away had a congenital disease, but before Emperor Wenzhi ascended the throne, he was a healthy man. How could he fall ill suddenly?
As a result, some bad rumors gradually spread throughout the government and the country.

Some people said that there was something wrong with the banquet at Pei Mansion.

Some people also say that the Feng Shui of Chongzheng Hall is not good...

Finally, it was the eldest princess who decided to move Emperor Wenzhi's bedroom from Chongzheng Hall to Minguang Hall, hoping to use the "light of the day to ward off evil" and protect the emperor's health.

However, the emperor is already the emperor, and he is upright and righteous, so what is there to be afraid of?

I don’t know whether others believe this self-deceptive statement, but Feng Yun doesn’t believe it.

She also felt that Emperor Wenzhi's illness was a little strange, so when the eldest princess asked Yao Ru to come, she did not object.

Before entering the palace, Yao Ru made a special visit to Feng Yun.

Treating the emperor has never been an easy job.

Yao Ru was a cautious person. He was feeling nervous and asked Feng Yun a question.

"Should we view the king's illness with sincerity or with indifference?"

Feng Yun smiled and replied, "Doctor Yao, how do you usually treat patients when you are in the clinic?"

Yao Ru said: "Diagnose illness with sincerity."

Feng Yun said: "Doctor Yao is a doctor. This is his only identity. Be brave and treat patients."

After getting her promise, Yao Ru finally breathed a sigh of relief, got on the carriage sent by the palace, and went into the palace to inquire about the patient's illness.

Feng Yun sent Ge Guang to accompany Yao Ru to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time at home, Yao Ru did not come back. Only Ge Guang came back to report, "Doctor Yao was picked up by the princess as soon as he left the palace."

Feng Yun thought for a moment and nodded, "Go wait outside the Princess's residence. Make sure to bring Doctor Yao back safely."

Ge Guang clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
-
Yao Ru is of course safe.

He was just a doctor who had cured Puyang Zong's finger. There was absolutely no reason for the princess to make things difficult for him.

The purpose of taking him over was simply to ask about the emperor's condition.

The eldest princess is more anxious than anyone else because her younger brother has been ill for so long and the cause of his illness cannot be found.

She greeted us with good tea and was very sincere.

"There are no outsiders here. Please tell me clearly, sir, what disease does Your Majesty suffer from?"

Yao Ru hesitated for a moment, "I wonder how the Imperial Hospital made the diagnosis?"

The eldest princess looked at him with an inexplicable sense of panic.

She probably knew Yao Ru's concerns, so she shook her head and sighed, "Those quack doctors didn't see the root cause of the disease at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way here to summon you."

Yao Ru generally understood it.

"In my opinion, Your Majesty...is not ill."

What? The princess' heart skipped a beat. She looked at Yao Ru's expression and calmed down after a while.
"I trust Doctor Yao's medical skills, but I don't understand why Your Majesty stays in bed every day and is unable to get up if he is not sick?"

Yao Ru thought for a moment, stroked his beard, and sighed, "In this world, after removing the external evil diseases, the only thing left is the heart disease."

Heart disease?

Everything was fine, what could possibly be wrong with the emperor?
The princess thought of his situation in Pei Mansion before he fell ill, and was lost in thought... (End of this chapter)
