The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 45

  Pei You opened his eyes.

   The study room is full of warmth, even a little dry. The incense in the incense burner has not been burned out, and a few wisps of green smoke are rising. The book he wanted to read was neatly placed on the desk, as well as an unfinished painting.

  Qinghui Hall was originally chosen by Pei You. It was in a slightly remote corner of the Duke's Mansion. He didn't have many servants, so it was very quiet at night.

   At this time, I don't know what time it is, and it seems particularly quiet.

  He sat up, walked to the side of the house, opened a window, and the cool breeze poured in, making the altar much clearer in an instant.

   Dreaming again.

  Since the first time on the night of March 25th, he will still have some dreams one after another in the past six months. These dreams were half true and half false, each time as if he had experienced it himself. He has gone from being hesitant and confused at the beginning to accepting it calmly now.

  The world is vast, and there are always things that cannot be explained clearly.

  Maybe there is really another him somewhere, who has experienced and is even experiencing everything in the dream.

   He even began to use those dreams after he found that some things in the dreams matched reality.

  For example, the piece of fabric that was originally not easy to be noticed.

  The fire in the dream actually killed the Wang couple and Wang Qinsheng. Although the self in the dream hadn't discovered the strangeness on the day of the incident, but after thinking about it afterwards, he was not reconciled. After several investigations, he really found some traces of arson. The self in the dream was also more eager to find out who set the fire and committed the crime than he is now. It didn't take long for him to speak directly to the eldest princess. The eldest princess and him almost had a big fight. Okay, but there was a rift between the mother and son.

  And he would bring Tu Bai back to the royal residence before, and find the piece of fabric, because the self in the dream would go back to mourn his parents every once in a while, and once opened the window accidentally, and found a piece of fabric.

  He woke up from that dream, and immediately went to the palace with Tu Bai, and found the exact same fabric.

   It’s just that this piece of fabric is not at the bottom of the window of Wang Qinsheng’s room, but at the bottom of the window of the room of Wang and his wife.

   Obviously because the arson location in the dream was in Wang Qinsheng's room, but in reality the arson location was in the room of Wang and his wife.

  In this way, the difference between dreams and reality is actually logical.

  His earliest dream was that Wang Qinsheng had both of his legs crippled.

  Since Wang Qinsheng's legs were broken, he naturally couldn't take him back to the Duke's mansion, so the arsonist chose the room where he was a handicapped person.

  In this way, it can even be inferred that the other party actually has a certain understanding of the Wang couple and Wang Qinsheng. Otherwise, how can it be concluded that Wang Qinsheng's room caught fire and the couple would not abandon him and escape?

  In reality, Wang Qinsheng followed him back to the Duke's Mansion. The murderer chose the arson place, of course, to be the bedroom of the Wangs, so the piece of fabric left behind was at the bottom of the window of the Wangs' bedroom.

   It was so coherent and reasonable, which made him believe that the dream might not just be a dream.

   It’s just that these dreams are usually only done once, and the scene in the dream is as clear as a personal experience, only the one just now…

  The first dream I had was three months ago, which was also the time in the dream, in September of the 14th year of Jiahe. He woke up from a dream, and remembered that he took Gu Fei to Renhe Pharmacy, and remembered who he saw at the door of the drugstore.

   But who, what they said, what they did, can't remember anyway.

  This dream will be repeated again and again.

  But no matter how many times I do it, I still can’t remember the half after waking up.

  He could vaguely guess that he probably found the little girl. After dreaming for the first time, he took Gu Fei to Renhe Pharmacy.

  But I went for several days in a row and found nothing.

  After that, he simply drew a portrait of her when she was a child, and asked Gu Fei to go to Renhe Pharmacy to guard her.

   In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and there is still no news.

  Pei You closed the window, and the air in the study was much cleaner.

  He sat back in front of the desk, stared at the unfinished picture of the snow scene for a while, put it away, picked up the book at hand, read it for a while, and then threw it aside.

  The dream just now reappeared in my mind.

  He didn't know who he met, and he couldn't remember what happened afterwards, but the feeling at that time was real.

  If it was really that little girl, he had been looking for her before because of a promise he had made when he was young, worrying that she would really be married off to be a concubine, but when he saw her in the dream—

  Pei You snorted lightly.

  The self in the dream probably fell in love with the little girl at first sight.

-

  Just after Hai hour, the guide lights of the Duke's Mansion came on again. There was a commotion at the door, the sound of cars and horses, the voice of people, and the noise gradually subsided after a while.

  Different from Xijing's eldest son, the former eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, now the second son Pei Shao, pays great attention to appearance and driving. Whether he is going out or returning home, the momentum of the "Guogong Mansion" must be fully displayed.

  After a commotion, the door was closed again, and Pei Shao returned to his Tingshui Garden surrounded by the crowd.

Compared with Qinghui Hall, Tingshui Garden is much more luxurious inside and out, but after Pei You came back, his yard was not happy with many people, Pei Guogong said a few words on the sidelines, and the housekeeper understood and reduced the population of Tingshui Garden in half.

  As soon as Pei Shao entered the yard, he picked up the ones that were not bright enough to lighten his hair. In fact, he remembered that when he came back last night, when was it not brightly lit, and the yard was full of servants?

   Entering the house, Ding Gui, who was waiting for him, hurriedly brought him tea: "Master, calm down, those ignorant ones, I will sell them tomorrow, so I won't spoil my eyes!"

   Pei Shao took the tea, but he was still so angry that he dropped the teacup: "Dog!"

   I don't know who is scolding.

  Ding Gui understood it in his heart.

Before the one from Qinghuitang came back, there was only one adult son, Pei Shao, in the entire Duke's mansion. Be a dignified prince.

  After a year passed, Pei Shao turned twenty and reached the crown. The original title of the prince also fell on him without a doubt, but...

   It's just one step away.

  As soon as Pei You came back, he didn't take the word "妈", and he didn't have the word "长", so the name of the son was beyond his imagination.

  Everyone in the Duke's Mansion is full of human beings, who is the orthodox bloodline, and who is the future master of the Duke's Mansion, the door is clear.

  Pei Shao's treatment naturally came down.

   "Only he is lofty, only he is indifferent! I think he is used to poverty and cannot live a life of wealth!" Pei Shao gritted his teeth angrily.

"Oh, my lord, let's talk about this kind of thing behind closed doors." Ding Gui hurriedly closed the window in the house, "It's not to affect you and your son if the word is spread. Do you have brotherly feelings for Grandpa?"

   Pei Shao narrowed his eyes: "Son of a dog, are you on his side too?"

Ding Gui offered Pei Shao another cup of tea: "My lord, now that the prince is in the limelight, the eldest princess is happy, and your majesty is also happy, why bother to get into trouble at such a time? After two years of fresh energy, his position Desolate, after all, not as popular as my grandfather."

  Pei Shao snorted coldly: "Your Majesty is not happy, he is too busy to ration Princess Zhaohe to him."

   "It's his turn for every good thing, why?" Pei Shao took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said in a low voice, "You made sure that no one saw you just now?"

   "The lights on the bridge were dark and there were so many people. The little one left after pushing them away. Don't worry, I'm sure no one is watching." Master Ding Gui lowered his voice, leaning towards Pei Shao and said.

  Pei Shao snorted coldly.

  Pei You wants to marry the princess? Or do you want to marry the prostitute of Zhao Shangshu's family?

  He refused to let him do so.

   Doesn't he hate that nagging girl from the Wen family? He just wants to get them together!

  Tonight, he had already told Ding Gui to keep an eye on the Wen family girl, and to act as soon as he saw an opportunity. Who would have thought that there would be such a good opportunity.

  Ding Gui was right behind the Wen girl when the incident happened, and quickly pushed her away.

  If this happens, he will have to go to Wen Tingchun to ask for a drink in the future.

  Pei Shao finally showed a satisfied smile, crossed his legs and touched his chin.

"But that girl from the Wen family returned home by herself after the incident, and I don't know if the prince saved her... According to her rumored temperament, if the prince saved her, wouldn't she take the opportunity to bite him? Are you going to leave in despair?" Ding Gui asked again.

   "The daughter of the Zhao family was rescued by Shen Jin. My cheap brother and the daughter of the Wen family fell into the water together and disappeared. Do you believe that they are not together?"

   "But if they reach an agreement and don't make it public..."

   "Isn't it easy?"

   Pei Shao frowned, hooked his hands to let Ding Gui pass, and whispered in his ear.
