02 Open the coffin

"But, don't the third sister find it strange? Your brother Yu was just a little cold, why didn't he recover? He died?"

Pei Jinyun approached and said mysteriously in Pei Jinruo's ear.

Pei Jinruo's body couldn't help but tremble, and her face, which had been calm and gentle, finally opened a hole.

Seeing this, Pei Jinyun couldn't help but be happy, and continued to lower her voice, "And King Jing'an... I heard that it's time for the last battle and you'll win, and then you can return to the court. At that time, I'm afraid I'll be the most powerful minister, but why did I die suddenly? Isn't this too unlucky?"

Pei Jinruo's face turned pale. She raised her eyes, stared at Pei Jinyun tightly, and gritted her teeth and said, "What do you mean?" The tone of words became unstable, and there was already panic in her eyes.

Her appearance made Pei Jinyun feel even more happy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't control her. "Have you never thought about this before? She's so stupid... Oh! No! It's simple. By the way, I heard... the third sister intends to adopt an heir?"

These words made Pei Jinruo tremble all over...

"If it can be done, my sister will come to the door to congratulate the third sister again." The smile on Pei Jinyun's face was meaningful. Then, she glanced at Pei Jinruo intriguingly, then straightened up and turned to leave.

At that moment, Pei Jinruo suddenly rubbed, pulled Pei Jinyun and said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean just now? Explain it clearly to me."

"What does the third sister think it means...then...that's what it means!" Pei Jinyun smiled softly.

Pei Jinruo was as if she was thundered. The last trace of blood on her face was sucked away. Pei Jinyun gently struggled and fell to the ground.

Pei Jinyun snorted, glanced at her sideways, and then left with a sneer.

"Madam!" Qingluo hurried forward and helped Pei Jinruo up, "Just now, just now, Concubine Pei meant that our brother and the prince... were he... killed by someone?"

Qingluo also turned pale, but she could not compare to Pei Jinruo's expression at this time. She was stunned for a moment, and felt her blood turbulent, "No, I have to go find Pei Jinyun and let her explain it clearly..." Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a bloody throat, and a mouthful of blood that had been enduring for a long time, she couldn't help but vomit it out.

"Madam!" Qingluo screamed in fear, and tears in his eyes suddenly burst out, "What's wrong with you?"

Compared to the shock of the green snail, Pei Jinruo's reaction was too dull. Without even tucking her eyelids, she pulled out a silk handkerchief from her cuffs, wiped the blood marks on the corner of her mouth, and stuffed them back into her sleeves. Every move was full of unspeakable familiarity.

Then, even though he didn't even care about the green snail, he pushed her away and ran out of the house.

Qingluo quickly wiped his tears and chased after him.

Pei Jinruo didn't care about anything else, just thinking that she had to find Pei Jinyun, she had to ask clearly what she meant when she said that she had just said.

When you cross the threshold, your feet become weak and you almost fall.

"Be careful!" A hand stretched out from the thorn, grabbed her arm through her sleeve, and barely supported her firmly.

Pei Jinruo was stiff, as if she was burned. When the man met her panic-looking gaze, he just paused and moved his hand away.

Pei Jinruo went to the side and was separated from the man by a step away.

Qingluo rushed up and helped Pei Jinruo to kneel gently, "I have seen His Highness King Mu, I am safe."

Xiao Qi seemed to have not heard it, with a deep look, but with obvious concern, it fell on Pei Jinruo's face and looked at it for a moment, "Why do you look so haggard?"

Pei Jinruo's heart trembled. If it were a few years ago, she would have been afraid that she would have died immediately after hearing this concern, and she would have been willing to accept it. But at this moment, she was really discouraged and could not have any charm. She felt that the numb heart seemed to have no feeling anymore, which was strange.

With a hoarse voice, Pei Jinruo whispered in a low voice, "This is the inner courtyard. I guess your highness has taken the wrong path. Let a servant lead you. I will lose my companion first."

This is exactly the entrance to the room. If you want to go out, there is only one way, and Xiao Qi is standing in the middle and can't get around.

Fortunately, Pei Jinruo was in a mess at this time, but she didn't care about these things and took steps and wanted to leave after him.

Unexpectedly, just as he was wrong, his arms tightened, and he used the same trick again. He raised his hand and wrapped his arms through his sleeves. His eyes looked at her with a sense of tolerance, "Now, you have your wish done?"

Opening a speech is an unexplained question.

Pei Jinruo was shocked and scared, and there were more doubts. She was not that deep-minded, so she brought it out from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but smile, "Didn't you say? You don't want to see him again. If you are in the same room with him, it will be a torment for a moment. But, your status is there. If he comes back, you will always face him. Now that you don't have to face him, are you happy?"

Pei Jinruo's eyes were full of doubts at first, but after a moment, she seemed to have figured out something, but the doubts disappeared. Looking at Xiao Qi's eyes, she was almost shocked and still a little disbelief.

The next moment, she suddenly waved his hand that held her and ran down the corridor.

"Madam...girl!" She also left Qingluo away, and was anxious and hurriedly chased after him, even the former name blurted out.

Xiao Qi stood there, turned his head and looked at her back, staggering and panicking, like a frightened bird, trembling, frightened and restless... He couldn't help but frown slightly.

From her Mingjitang to the gate of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, the distance was not close. When she ran over step by step, Pei Jinruo's head was not empty at all.

Over the past few years, many things that I couldn't figure out before, flashed through my mind one by one, as if I was shaking clouds and fog, and gradually became clear. But what followed was a burning pain in my heart, and a heart seemed to be thrown on a pan and frying... it was hard to bear the pain.

Is that true? Is this true? She didn't know at all that she was so stupid?

The sound of sorrow and cries were getting closer and closer. In a blink of an eye, she had already rushed to the front of the mansion.

Today, the door of the mansion is wide open, and white banners are floating everywhere.

When she rushed out of the mansion, many people had gathered outside the mansion. The crying sound even paused because of her sudden appearance, and then rose again, even more miserable and miserable.

Pei Jinruo could no longer hear this. Her eyes looked at a characteristic cart in front of her, four tall horses pulled by a golden nanmu coffin on the cart, which was escorted to the mansion by a team of white soldiers. When Pei Jinruo rushed out, she came to the mansion gate.
