Chapter 80

Chapter 71

Liu Xiangyang's mother-in-law, Liu's sister-in-law, had long regarded Chunyuan as her daughter-in-law, and only hoped that the two would get married soon.Now that such a big son is lost out of thin air, the whole person seems to have lost his soul, and he can't get up after lying down.Mingyu felt a little guilty, so she asked Chunyuan to stay with Sister-in-law Liu, and she was not here for the time being.Chunyuan suppressed the worries in her heart, and together with Liu Xiangyang's cousin, stayed with Liu's sister-in-law for a long time, finally persuaded her to lie down, got up and wanted to go back, just as she went out, she saw a young man approaching, and came to the side door Someone came to look for her, claiming to be Ding Po, who took care of Yuyuan.The gatekeeper knew Chunyuan's face in the mansion, since it was an old woman looking for her, he let the young lady into the gatehouse to wait, and sent a servant to call.

Chunyuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she had indeed met a woman at the gate of Yu Garden a few years ago, but she didn't know why she suddenly came here now.Since it was related to the Yu Garden at Xie Zuiqiao, naturally he didn't dare to be negligent, so he answered and hurried to the concierge.

Granny Ding waited for a while, and saw a young girl in a purple blouse hurrying over. She hurriedly stood up from the bench, went up to meet her and said, "Miss, do you still remember me? I came here today because I was sent by someone, and I was asked to bring a The message is for the girl." After looking around for a while, he said in a low voice, "Said the boy from the Liu family is well, and he wants to see someone who is trustworthy, so he calls him to the Yu Garden and says he has something to talk to."

Chunyuan was surprised, and blurted out, "I don't know who told the mother-in-law to bring the message?"

Ding Po said: "It's the young master who lived in the garden with Mr. Xie before, and he's back now." Seeing her complexion changed drastically, as if she wanted to ask, she hurriedly said, "The young master gave me some money. , ask the old man to find the girl to deliver this message, and I don’t know anything else, so I ask the girl to make it easier for me." Then he bent down and left in a hurry.

Chunyuan was flustered, and went back to the Yilu Building like sleepwalking, and bumped into Mingyu who was about to go down.Ming Yu was taken aback by her expression, and when she found out that it was Pei Taizhi who sent the message from Granny Ding, who was in charge of Yu Garden, she broke out in a cold sweat.

She always thought that Pei Taizhi was in the capital now, but she never expected that he had also arrived in Jiangzhou, and even planned such a thing!

"Girl, I was a little scared when I saw Mrs. Pei, so don't go there. If you are caught by him and ruin your reputation, how can Mr. Xie explain..."

Chun Yuan's face turned pale, and she trembled.

Ming Yu frowned slightly, and after a long while, she finally said: "Chunyuan, since he knew that Liu Xiangyang was from Rongyintang, and even found out about your relationship with him, he didn't come to my father's door to ask for an explanation. People, it can be seen that he does not want to put this matter on the bright side. Now that he intends to force out the people behind Hu Banxian, and Liu Xiangyang has already fallen into his hands, if I don't show up, how can we solve this situation?"

"Girl, Liu Xiangyang will definitely not say that you wrote the letter, and he may not be able to think of you. I will admit it..."

Chunyuan's complexion gradually recovered, she thought for a while, and said.

Ming Yu shook her head, smiled wryly and said: "Chunyuan, Pei Taizhi... I know something about it. Although I don't know why he suddenly went south, I just used his scheming and methods to set his sights on Hu Banxian and Hu Banxian. I'm not surprised to be seen through the trick. You may not believe him if you go to admit it. I just can't figure out what is his purpose after all the troubles? And listen to the message he sent from Mrs. Ding, saying that there is something wrong Let’s talk. If that’s the case, I’ll go and see you.”

"girl!"

Chun Yuan still wanted to stop her, but Ming Yu pressed her hand, and said: "It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Now that he has been targeted, there is no way to hide. I am going to be engaged to Mr. Xie now. It is considered close, even in the face of Mr. Xie, I think it will not be really bad for me." After thinking for a while, he said, "It is inconvenient for me to go to Yuyuan, so I will tell my mother that I will arrive tomorrow. Baita Temple is praying for the Buddha for my grandmother. There have been a lot of messes at home these past few days, and she must be unable to get away. You send someone you trust to go to the Yu Garden to find the old lady and return a message, telling her to come to Baita Temple tomorrow afternoon. The Accumulated Fragrance in the Fragrance Court is waiting by the cliff."

Jiang Shi heard Ming Yu said that he was going to Baita Temple, but after hesitating for a while, he agreed.In the early morning of the second day, two servants from the mansion were sent to protect them, and Mama Zhou and Mama Rong who was beside the old lady were asked to follow.When Mrs. Liu heard about it, she also begged to go with her to worship Buddha and burn incense for her son. Jiang naturally agreed, and four or five of them took a large carriage to the White Pagoda Temple.The Zhike monk recognized them as the female relatives of the Rongyin Hall, and they were the largest donation in the temple. The offerings of various incense sticks continued throughout the year, and they were naturally attentive.After burning the incense, it was already noon, and a table of vegetarian food was prepared to treat each other.After finishing his meal, Ming Yu said he wanted to visit the temple.

The two mothers were too old to walk lazily, full and sleepy, so Ming Yu asked them to go to the quiet room to rest, drink tea and doze off, and Sister-in-law Liu accompanied Ming Yu and Chun Yuan.Passing by the apse, Mingyu said to Sister-in-law Liu: "Mother Liu, Chunyuan and I are just wandering around here, you don't have to follow, this Buddhist hall is full of incense, mother might as well go in and burn a few more sticks of incense. Chunyuan will come here and call you back after shopping."

Sister-in-law Liu had lost her son, so she had no intention of wandering around, this remark hit her heart, anyway, the Ruan family has a great reputation in this temple, and she was not afraid of what would happen to the two of her, so she hurriedly responded and went into the Buddhist hall to kneel on the futon, Kowtow to the Buddha statue, chanting words in his mouth.Ming Yu and Chun Yuan glanced at each other, then went to the nearby Jixiang Courtyard.

There were few people at this hour, and the Jixiangyuan next to the back hall was close to the cliff, which was even more remote. Chunyuan stayed at the intersection to guard, and Ming Yu went in, turned a corner, and was about to reach the Jixiang Cliff.There was a violent throbbing in the chest cavity, and he stopped walking and closed his eyes slightly to stabilize his mind before continuing to go inside.

A few pines and cypresses entangled with old vines on the side of the rocky cliff stood a man in plain clothes, it was Pei Taizhi.He watched Ming Yu appear from around the corner and walk slowly towards him.

Although from the moment he saw Liu Xiangyang the night before, he had vaguely guessed that the person who gave Hu Banxian the letter would be her from the Ruan family. He was just being guarded.Only at this moment, seeing her appearing in front of him like this, it still seemed like a turbulent wave was set off in his heart, the veins on his forehead tightened suddenly, his heart shivered, he let out a long breath, and then suppressed it.

"It's really you."

Pei Taizhi's expression was as heavy as water, and he said every word.

"It's me." Ming Yu stood on the stone path five or six steps away from him, looking at him straight and solemn, "Where's Liu Xiangyang?"

Pei Taizhi said: "I let him go this morning. He must have returned to Rongyin Hall by now. Are you... really you?"

After all, he couldn't believe it. In the end, he still couldn't help asking.

"It's me. You forced Hu Banxian to release those rumors, isn't it just to force me to show up? Now that I'm here, why don't you believe it?"

Pei Taizhi's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and after a while, he finally said, "How did you know about the Li family's murder a few years ago and the flood in mid-August last year?" There was some doubt in his voice.

Ming Yu stared at him, her fingernails were deeply embedded in her palms, but she didn't feel any pain, she suddenly sneered and said, "Master Pei, if I tell you, I am a person who died once, just because I don't want to forget the sorrows and grievances of my previous life, and avoid the pain of my past life." I was reborn after eating that bowl of Mengpo soup, so I know this, do you believe it? Will you accuse me of lying and deceiving people and throw me in jail?"

Pei Taizhi stared at her fixedly, as if he wanted to look into her eyes, and she faced her directly, refusing to budge.After a long while, he suddenly lowered his eyes as if dodging, and soon raised his eyes to look at her again, and said: "Since you said something extraordinary under the guise of that Hu Banxian, you naturally don't want to see it to others. How could it embarrass you? It's just..." His tone suddenly turned cold, "Miss Ruan, I don't care how you know this, as long as you are the person behind Hu Banxian. I forced you to come out, just For one purpose, I will need your help in the future!"

"Master Pei, I don't think I have any ability to help you," Ming Yu said coldly, "Since Liu Xiangyang was released by you, you also said that you didn't want to make things difficult for me. I'm really grateful. Let me take my leave first." As he said that, he turned around and left.

Pei Tai was stunned, he noticed the strong rejection in the girl's eyes when she spoke just now, which made him suddenly a little angry.

"stop!"

He yelled at her back abruptly, saw her stop, and was about to catch up, when suddenly, the familiar pain that made him shudder when he thought of it came over again, as if a sharp knife was in his head The knife kept gouging out the flesh.His face changed drastically, and he opened his mouth wide to breathe, but breathing became as difficult as a fish out of water.He wanted to grab the tree trunk beside him, but he only tore off a piece of bark, and he fell slowly to the ground

Ming Yu heard his yelling to stop from behind, hesitated for a while, and suddenly heard a strange movement, couldn't help turning her head, and was stunned.

Pei Taizhi hugged his head with his hands and curled up on the ground in pain. His whole body trembled as if he was about to die, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Ming Yu opened her eyes wide, looking at the scene she saw in horror, she couldn't believe it.She wanted to run, but her steps were as heavy as lead. It was not until he groaned in pain that she suddenly woke up, squatted down beside him, and tremblingly said, "Pei Taizhi, what's wrong with you!"

The man didn't answer, he just curled himself up like a dying worm, his eyes closed.Ming Yu felt an unprecedented fear.

"Pei Taizhi! Pei Taizhi!"

Ming Yu yelled a few more words, and was about to get up to call someone over, when suddenly her hand tightened, and he grabbed her, the tentacles were wet and cold, like the hands of a dead man.

"Don't... go call someone... just wait..."

He spoke intermittently, as if he had exhausted all his strength to utter these words, and then his hands slid down weakly.

Ming Yu didn't dare to move any more, but just stared at him blankly. After a while, his trembling finally stopped, his eyes were still closed, and he lay motionless on the ground.

"Pei Taizhi..."

Ming Yu probed and let out a low cry.

He finally opened his eyes, propped his hands up and slowly sat up from the ground, then stood up again.

"You just saw it!"

He said slowly, looking at her with deep sadness and embarrassment.

Ming Yu was still in shock, nodded subconsciously, and asked, "You...what happened just now?"

He stared fixedly at her, and suddenly laughed, but that smile was extremely difficult and ugly.

"Miss Ruan, since you have seen it, I will tell you. Seven years ago, once, Zuiqiao and I rode a horse outside the city. I fell off the horse and had a severe headache. Zuiqiao helped me to lie on the side of the road. It slowed down after a while, just like what you saw just now, only it was not as severe as it is now. At that time, I told him that it was an accidental emergency, just pass it and tell him not to let others know."

There was still a slight smile on Pei Taizhi's face, but he was extremely stiff.

"Actually, I didn't tell him the truth at the time. That headache was not accidental. I had it before, but it happened once in a year or two. He happened to see it again."

Ming Yu stared at him blankly.

"My headache, I had no symptoms before the attack, but when it happened, it was like a sharp knife gouging out the flesh in my brain..."

"Emperor doctor, is there nothing the imperial doctor can do?"

Ming Yu finally came back to his senses, and blurted out a question.

"Probably there is no cure. The best doctor Mei in the palace is also helpless. I used to hope that this disease would disappear by itself in the future. But in the past few years, the attacks have become more and more frequent. Especially this It's been twice in a year. Just now, I posted it again, and you bumped into me. Miss Ruan, can you imagine that one day I suddenly fell to the ground with such a headache under the watchful eyes of everyone in court? Pei Taizhi, This domineering or even arrogant person in the eyes of others usually fell to the ground like a dead dog, and the only thing he could do was hug his head..."

His voice suddenly became hollow and indifferent, as if he was describing someone else instead of himself.

For a moment, Ming Yu suddenly seemed to understand why Pei Taizhi in the previous life had been away from Beijing all the time, and even her wife had seen him very few times in the past few years.With his temperament, I'm afraid he would rather die outside, even if his bones are eaten by wild wolves, he doesn't want to be seen like that, right?
Ming Yu took a long breath and met his gaze.There was still a drop of sweat that had just burst out on one side of his face, and his face was still a little pale.

"Why is this?"

she asked carefully.

Pei Taizhi secretly squeezed his fist, and finally let it go slowly.

"Who knows. Even the imperial physician said it might be caused by fetal gas. Maybe it's my fate."

Ming Yu heard the coldness in his words, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The world is so big, maybe one day, I can find a good doctor for your stubborn illness."

Pei Taizhi glanced at her, suddenly he laughed, and said: "With your kind words, if this day really comes, it will be my luck. I just told you this, not to hear your good words." He paused, and his face became serious again, "I just want to let you know that I may not be able to stay in Beijing for a long time, but the emperor was deceived by a Taoist, taking pills to practice kung fu, and my health deteriorated year after year, and I was instigated The relationship with the prince is even more estranged. If I leave like this, I really don't feel relieved. Since you are very capable, if you help me, the emperor will no longer favor that Taoist, and instead use the imperial doctor's prescription to take care of the body and strengthen the prince. Only in the future can I leave with peace of mind... What's more, you are actually doing this for Zuiqiao. He is now in conflict with His Highness the Third Highness because of you. You are helping Zuiqiao by helping me and the crown prince!"

Perhaps he had just come back from a bout of near-death pain, his voice at this moment was a little less cold than usual, and sounded a little deep.

Ming Yu remembered the ending of Rongyin Hall being copied in the previous life, gritted her teeth slightly, finally raised her eyes, and nodded to him.

She is not only helping them, but also helping herself and her family.

As if relieved, Pei Taizhi smiled slightly at her, and the lines of his usual cold face softened a lot.

Ming Yu stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Master Pei, have you heard of the name Mei Chaoyun?"

Pei Tai was stunned, as if recalling, finally shook his head and said, "I don't know. Why did Miss Ruan ask this suddenly?"

"It's nothing, just forget it if you don't know." Ming Yu smiled slightly, and said, "I've been out for a while, so it's time to go back. If you have something to do in the future, you can find Liu Xiangyang." He glanced at him, bowed slightly, turned around slowly Go slow.

Mei Chaoyun, that concubine in her previous life was the daughter of Imperial Physician Mei.

Ming Yu looked up at the clouds in the sky, quickened her pace slightly, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She knew that now, she could finally let go of everything in the past.The past life with Pei Taizhi has really passed.Now more than ever, she hopes to see Xie Zuiqiao.In this life, she will cherish the person in front of her and be his wife well.

"Miss Ruan, don't let anyone know about me, including Zuiqiao!"

Pei Taizhi said suddenly.

Ming Yu stopped in her tracks, turned her head and nodded at him, and smiled slightly.

Pei Taizhi stared blankly at that Xianna's back disappearing from his sight.

Maybe she really remembered her previous life?It's just that I don't know what kind of role the self in the previous life played in her life?
He suddenly felt a little lost, looked down at his wrist, and the scene when he saw her for the first time in the care garden appeared in his mind.At that time, she bit herself hard, and the clear pain still seemed to remain on his wrist.
