Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 32 Disappeared into thin air
  Seeing that Wei Shao was drunk and unconscious, Pei Ying ordered Bai Zheng to go back to the house first and told his grandfather that Wei Shao was involved in official business, so that they didn't have to worry and didn't have to wait for the two of them to have a meal.

With the support of Bai Zheng and Pei Ying, they managed to help Wei Shao to the couch with great effort.

"You go home now, remember, don't show off your timidity in a hurry, just like usual, do you understand?"

"clear"

"Also, ask the waiter to bring you a bowl of hangover soup."

"Yes."

After Bai Zheng left, Pei Ying looked at Wei Shao lying on the couch. He was very quiet. He didn't talk nonsense when he was drunk. He was just sleeping deeply.

Pei Ying guarded him and fed him the hangover soup. She also fell asleep, sat on a soft cushion and fell asleep beside the couch.

In the summer sky, flaming clouds often appear in the sunset, making the sky look like it is on fire, gorgeous and charming.

Wei Shao shook his head and opened his eyes. The light of the setting sun shone on Pei Ying's body through the window paper. Her peacefully sleeping profile and long hair hanging around her waist seemed to be shining, like a goddess. drop.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch Pei Ying's cheek, but when his hand was about to touch, he withdrew it.

Half an hour later, under his gaze, Pei Ying opened her eyes.

Seeing him looking at her, Pei Ying wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and asked, "When did you wake up?"

"just."

"What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight."

"How could I sleep for so long."

"You always sleep well."

Seeing him making fun of herself, Pei Ying stood up and walked to the table, poured a glass of water and drank it, then asked: "What's going on with you today? You didn't go back home after morning service, but went to a restaurant to get drunk."

Hearing this, Wei Shao's emotions surged into his heart again.

Pei Ying didn't look at him and just ate the food in front of her.

"Don't blame me for talking about you. Grandma and the others are at home, eagerly looking forward to your return to the house to have dinner together. It's better for you to come here alone to eat and drink. It's not that you can't go out to eat and drink, but the house still has a lot of food. When there are elderly people, you always have to take their feelings into consideration and don't let them worry about you."

"Uncle Qi is dead."

"What did you say?"

Wei Shao's voice was so low that Pei Ying didn't hear what he said clearly. She turned around and asked again: "What did you say?"

"Uncle Qi was betrayed by his disciple Qu Ling, who said that he intended to rebel. Letters between him and King Xiang of Han and King of Lujiang were also found in his residence. The prince said that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. Your father has cremated his bones. "

The amount of information in this sentence was a bit too much, and Pei Ying couldn't sit still after hearing it. She got up and came to the couch and sat next to Wei Shao.

"What? He committed suicide out of fear of crime. My father has already cremated him. What are you talking about?"

"I went to court and followed your father all the time, hoping that he could tell me the specific details, but your father just told me that if I wanted to survive, I should stop pestering him."

Pei Ying didn't know what to say for a moment, it all happened so suddenly.

Yesterday they were still together, like a family, laughing and drinking, but today, they were told that his body had been cremated and turned into a speck of dust between heaven and earth. This earth-shaking change was beyond anyone's imagination. Can't accept it.

Seeing him crying, Pei Ying took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

This was the first time she saw Wei Shao cry. He is patient and restrained, and the pain is silent for him.

"Grandpa cannot be allowed to know about this matter. They are too old to bear the stimulation."

"But paper can't cover the fire after all."

"You listen to me. If you can guarantee it for a day, it will be a day. This matter must be kept secret."

Wei Shao nodded.

"Although I only met Uncle Qi once and didn't get along with him for more than half a day, he is a forthright and true-hearted man. He is a gentleman. Wei Shao, I know you are sad, but we must investigate this matter clearly, and we must not let Uncle Qi Carrying the reputation of treason, he died in such an unexplained way."

"What should we do now?"

"Since his body was cremated by my father, I must know something about it. You and I will go home tomorrow morning. Let's test him first."

The next morning, Pei Ying was waiting outside the palace gate for Wei Shao to go down to court. When he saw all the civil and military officials coming out of the palace, Pei Ying exchanged a few words with Zhong Yang, Xiao Shen and others.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Wei Shao said: "My father-in-law asked for leave today, saying that he was ill and did not go to court. The prince even sent an imperial doctor to check his pulse."

"Is he sick? I don't believe it. He has the most tricks up his sleeve. I think he is pretending to be sick because he is afraid that you will pester him."

"When I go to your home today, you must not contradict him."

"I know that we have something to ask of him, and I have a sense of propriety."

In Duke Pei's mansion, Pei Ying looked at her father lying on the bed, and Cao Aan stood next to the imperial doctor, with worry on his face.

After checking his pulse, the imperial doctor said: "Pei Guogong has been worrying too much lately, which has led to a deficiency of qi and blood. I will prescribe a prescription to replenish qi and blood. After taking it, you can take a good rest for a few days. There will be no serious problem. Madam, prince, and princess , you don’t have to worry.”

Cao Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the couple had no intention of leaving, she wisely asked the imperial doctor to go outside and prescribe a prescription.

There were only three of them left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Father, my daughter came back today and wants to ask you something."

"If you want to ask about the Marquis of Huainan, please come back."

"I originally didn't want to return to this house, but Marquis Huainan is my husband's uncle. He was accused of treason and then disappeared out of thin air. You were the one who collected his body in the end, so my daughter has to come to bother you."

"Pei Ying, you call me father, so let me ask you, do you really regard me as your father in your heart?"

"I also want to ask my father the same question. Do you really regard me as your daughter in your heart?"

"presumptuous."

Hearing Pei Ying's reply, Pei Kai coughed violently, and Wei Shao stepped forward to help him calm down.

"King Peiping, I have already told you that you don't have to pester me. I don't know anything. Don't think that I will tell you something just because you moved Pei Ying here. You can take your princess back home quickly." Bar."

"My father-in-law, the Marquis of Huainan is my son-in-law's uncle. Now that his death is unknown, how can you let my son-in-law feel at ease? Please have mercy on me and tell me the twists and turns in this."

Pei Kai looked at Wei Shao and said, "You married my daughter, who is like half of my son. I don't let you know many things to protect you. You still have your grandfather at home, and your mother and concubine are also in the palace. You are Pei Ying's husband, and your safety is no longer yours alone. I hope you can understand my good intentions."

Listening to his father's sincere words, Pei Ying couldn't help but continue: "Father, I have been with you for so many years. In this family, I have been treated harshly by that vicious woman Cao Fan for more than ten years. I didn't know that you were so cruel. What a loving father who loves and protects his daughter!”

"you"

Before he could say anything, Pei Kai coughed violently and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

　Happy Friday night is coming. When you enter the countdown, Princess Prince please read a book!
