Chapter 165

"Wanwan, don't always try to hide from me," he sighed slightly, "I'm really not scary."

"..." Xie Wan Ning was speechless.

"Why are you looking like that?" Pei Yuqing laughed, "When have I ever been mean to you?"

Xie Wanning thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, you are not truly harmless!"

Pei Yuqing's smile deepened. He reached out and held her in his arms, saying gently, "You just need to know that I truly love you."

The young man who was so gentle and shy when they first met, and whose ears would turn red when he said a word of love, can now express his love directly.

He did not deny her words.

harmless?

How could a person who is able to gain a foothold in the court and is deeply trusted by the emperor be harmless?

If he really doesn't have any tricks at all, then he will be at the mercy of others.

Xie Wanning pursed her lips and looked at him with mixed feelings.

…………

Even though they had some quarrels before, they were still living under the same roof and saw each other every day. This time Pei Yuqing was leaving Beijing, and it was the first time the couple would be separated after their marriage.

Xie Wan Ning was very reluctant to let go, and this reluctance was reflected in all aspects.

I couldn't bear to reject his closeness, and my softness towards him was visibly evident.

How could a man as perceptive as Pei Yuqing not sense the change in her attitude? It was impossible for him to stop when he was ahead. On the contrary, he understood the idiom "pressing for more" very well.

In the next two days, he didn't even leave the courtyard. Not only that, he didn't allow Xie Wan Ning to leave the courtyard. The two of them were so close to each other. Time passed quickly, and separation was always coming. Perhaps because he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave, Pei Yuqing got up early, held the exhausted girl in his arms and kissed her. When he left, he didn't wake her up and left quietly.

When Xie Wanning woke up, the bed beside her was cold. She lay stiffly on the bed, feeling a little disappointed and empty.

She has been married for more than half a year and is no longer considered a new bride, but Princess Duanyang loves her only daughter-in-law very much and feels sorry for her. She is worried that Xie Wanning will be lonely without her husband around, so she likes to call her to the main courtyard to talk when she has nothing to do.

And Pei Yuxuan would come to Xuanhuayuan to play with her every now and then.

Among the topics discussed by the few people, Pei Yuqing was naturally the one that was talked about the most.

Worried that he might be in danger when he goes out.

Fortunately, Pei Yuqing was indeed thoughtful and considerate. Three days after leaving Beijing, he had already sent back a letter while he was still on the road.

The letter was delivered by Pei Er personally, and it was then that Xie Wan Ning realized that the man had actually left his most trusted confidant in the capital.

She was both angry and moved, and opened the letter and read it carefully.

The letter was not long, and the handwriting was so neat that it could be used as a copybook. It was all about what the author had seen and heard along the way since leaving Beijing, and deep affection was revealed between the lines.

Looking at the last four words "I miss you so much that I want to go crazy", Xie Wanning felt a pain in her nose and almost cried.

She walked to the desk and wanted to write a reply, her wrist suspended in the air, but she couldn't put the pen to paper for a long time. The ink dripped on the white rice paper, making a smudge. Xie Wanning sighed, put down the pen, turned around, took out the belt she had just embroidered and gave it to Pei Er.

"Tell him not to worry about home and to focus on himself. I will be waiting for him to return home safely."

The court is full of twists and turns, the fight for the crown prince and the unrest in various places mean that even the capital is not absolutely safe, let alone the outside world.

Besides, the Second Prince had previously suspected that the Sky Guards were in Pei Yuqing's hands and were the emperor's eyes and ears.

I don't know how many people knew his identity and wanted to kill him, but he was ordered to leave Beijing at this time.
