The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 383: Only the Crown Prince looks pleasing to the eye

 When setting off, Du Qian personally carried Pei Hao into the carriage.

Originally, Pei Hao could be helped to walk, but for some reason, he just wanted to enjoy the service of his uncle.

Du Qian is a man of his word. He said he would take care of his sister, and he always took care of him. Of course, Du Qian couldn't just feed him. Whenever his sister appeared, he would definitely be watching.

 So, it is very polite for two people to meet.

Du Qian was an upright gentleman, and he suppressed Pei Hao to death all the way, and Pei Hao couldn't even find fault with him. Perhaps because of this problem, the trip went faster than expected.

  Near the capital.

 Stay overnight in the county town closest to the capital.

 That night, a Pei family secret guard came to look for Pei Hao and handed Pei Hao a small wooden box.

 Open it and there is a small jade bottle inside, which is the lost heart-protecting elixir.

The medicine had left him and passed through the hands of countless people. Pei Hao decided to go back and give it to his father, asking him to find someone to check whether it had been tampered with. It's just that the elixir was given to my father, so it would be difficult to get it back.

 Forget it, it’s better to take advantage of the father than to take advantage of outsiders.

 One night, Pei Hao did not see the little girl again.

　　The little girl used to come to see him every night before he went to bed.

Pei Hao didn't know that Du Wan didn't want to come out, but that Du Qian was watching too closely.

For example, at this time, the brother and sister were holding a candle and talking at night.

Du Qian prevented the two from getting close, but he was not blind. "Sister, does it really have to be him?"

"..." Du Wan saw the seriousness in his eyes, "I imagine who I will marry in the future. Looking around the unmarried young masters in the capital, he is the one who looks pleasing to my eye."

Sister, has she taken a liking to the face of that boy named Pei? !

Du Qian raised his eyebrows without leaving any trace, "You have broken off the engagement. This is not an easy matter."

“He said it would be left to him to solve the problem and let me do whatever I wanted.”

 “Do you believe what he said?”

"It's a letter...it's better to say it doesn't matter. I didn't plan to get married. If he can really solve the problem and prevent trouble from getting in front of me, it's okay for me to give him a status."

　　Du Wan’s speech was no different from casual conversation.

However, Du Qian could see her seriousness and she was speaking from her heart.

 Sister, you actually have no plans to get married? How is this possible? !

Du Qian doesn’t want his sister to live alone all her life.

 Because of this problem, he was so frightened that his opinion of Pei Hao dropped by more than half, "Sister, since he said he would handle it by himself, let's wait until he handles it before discussing marriage."

Du Qian was a little unhappy when he thought about the problems between Mrs. Pei and her daughter.

Du Wan nodded, "Okay."

 In fact, she has no idea at the moment, so she needs to take one step at a time.

 The two brothers and sisters chatted for a while.

Tomorrow Du Qian will **** Pei Hao back to the town's government palace. It is inconvenient for Du Wan, so he will quietly go back to his clan and pretend to continue to retreat.

The news that Pei Hao was about to return to the capital somehow leaked out.

It is inevitable that some people in the capital will have their thoughts wandering.

 Some people had a wrong idea, and it was a little unbelievable when they learned that Du Qian went to pick them up in person. It would be okay if Du Qian went to pick someone up before breaking off the engagement. But now that the engagement has been broken off, how is the relationship between the two families still so good? Those who wanted to see the relationship between the Zhenguo Palace and the Princess Palace break down could not help but be disappointed.

 In the palace.

 Qin Yuyu couldn't sit still after receiving the news.

 At dinner time, I went to see the emperor in person.

Qin Yuyu was in awe of her father, the emperor, but she couldn't care less about her fear now, "Father, did you hear that Prince Pei is coming back?"

“Well, I will arrive in Beijing tomorrow.” The emperor took the handkerchief handed over by the palace servant and wiped his hands.

Qin Yuyu asked again: "Will anyone go to greet Prince Pei? Just like the last time Mr. Xie came back from disaster relief...many people greeted him in front of the city gate." "No."

 The emperor wanted to say that the time of Pei Hao's return was a secret.

 I don’t know how, but it suddenly spread, but this spread only among the upper circles.

The emperor asked: "Where did you hear the news?"

“I went to attend the flower viewing party today and met Prince Pei’s sister. She said so.”

 Qin Yuyu didn’t want to say it, but the emperor’s gaze was too bright.

 The emperor looked at the graceful daughter in front of him. After this period of teaching, she became more and more like the queen when she was young. Now it turns out that this is indeed his daughter, not someone who prepared it for him with ulterior motives.

 Yes, the emperor has always doubted Qin Yuyu’s identity.

Even with so much evidence, he still had doubts...

 Recalling the sweet time with the queen, the emperor felt in a daze.

The emperor sighed in his heart, "In the future, don't interfere with the Pei family's affairs, so as not to fall into trouble and attract gossip. There are some things your mother should have told you. Don't think about it anymore. It's impossible for you and Cheng Ming."

 “Father…” A trace of resentment flashed in Qin Yuyu’s heart.

 Isn’t he the emperor? Why not help her?

  She has been trying to please him during this period, but what she got in return was his hard-heartedness?

Qin Yuyu clenched her fists and suppressed the resentment in her heart, "The whole world belongs to my father. As long as you issue an order, will anyone dare to resist it? Why is it impossible for my daughter to marry the one she loves? Just Because he was engaged to his cousin, will his daughter miss out on her love? Just because of the eyes of the world? "

"Not at all."

The emperor treated his only daughter with a little more patience than at the beginning, "The biggest reason is that you are not his love. If you have the ability to let him take the initiative to ask me to marry you, I will help you."



 After noon the next day.

 A cavalry escorted a carriage to the town government palace.

 There were many people guarding the gate of the Duke's Mansion, including the reclusive Duke Zhen.

Mrs. Pei is looking forward to it, hoping to see her son soon.

Pei Huiyu also dressed up beautifully today and stayed by Mrs. Pei's side, but Mu Fanling was nowhere to be seen. I heard that she went back to Pingnancheng last month.

In addition, there are also two royal doctors sent from the palace.

When the emperor sent people to the southwest to convey the decree, he wanted to send an imperial doctor to accompany him. The focus was to treat Pei Hao, but he was stopped by the Duke of Zhen. He even said that Pei Hao was lucky and met old doctor Bai. The emperor still remembered this old man, who had excellent medical skills and was almost beheaded by him back then, so he did not insist on sending the imperial doctor to follow him.

Today the emperor sent two more imperial doctors here, which shows that he attaches great importance to Pei Hao.

 The carriage drove directly into the Duke's Mansion.

Those watching the excitement outside could only see the tail of the team, but did not see Pei Hao himself at all. Instead, he saw the high-spirited Prince Rui riding away on a tall horse.

Some people learned that Du Qian escorted Pei Hao back to Beijing, and they started talking about it.

—“Didn’t we break off the engagement? Why would the prince go out of his way to pick up Prince Pei?”

 —“The king of the county is righteous! Prince Pei has made great contributions to the country.”

—“Pfft, I still remember the scene when the king made things difficult for Prince Pei for his sister.”

 —“It’s a pity that I won’t see it again.”

-"how do I say this?"

—“Don’t even think about this, both families have canceled their engagement. Now the prince is seriously ill…”

　　—“…”
