Pei Zhe's always unfazed eyes crossed a touch of surprise.
Is it really her?
No wonder she had the faint scent of medicine that he was familiar with.
Pei Zhe's thoughts drifted to Jiangnan 8 years ago.
After receiving the royal brother's flying pigeon message, he hurried back to the capital. Unexpectedly, he encountered an ambush on the road, and he was separated from Yefeng Yeyun and was seriously injured.
Unexpectedly, he would be saved by a little girl. It's just that because of the difference between men and women, the little girl kept wearing a veil when she treated him, revealing only a pair of clear and bright eyes.
Every time she approached him, treated him or changed his dressing, he could smell the faint scent of medicine on her.
The smell is extremely good, and it is completely different from the fat powder smell on other girls.
He was cared for by her for 5 days, until Nightwind and Nightcloud found him. In view of the situation in the capital and his concern for the imperial brother, he hurried back.
He sneaked away at night, not even saying goodbye. The situation at that time also made him unable to say too much, for fear of implicating her.
Fortunately, he rushed back in time, otherwise he, the imperial brother, and the queen mother would probably not survive.
After the imperial brother ascended the throne, there were no generals available in the court, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to the battlefield. The queen mother didn't want him to go and kept crying; The imperial brother was in a complicated mood, he was reluctant to use him, and he had to use him.
Because, he trusts him.
Over the years, life at the border has been extremely hard, and he has experienced life and death one after another, and his heart has become extremely cold.
He hid an embroidered handkerchief in his arms, on which the word "Ruyi" was embroidered with pink silk thread. When he has free time, he will take it out and look at it.
This square handkerchief was used by her to help him wipe the medicine that had been missed when she fed him medicine. As she left, she forgot to take it. He carefully put it away.
It's a pity that the white handkerchief was stained with a few drops of brown medicinal juice, and it couldn't be washed. But it was the warmth of his heart, which accompanied him through the most difficult time.

At first, Pei Zhe also wanted to go over to find her. It's just that, back in the capital, the development of things pushed him forward step by step. He didn't have time to thank her before he was on the battlefield.
When he arrived at the border pass, the war was difficult, and he completely let go of his thoughts about looking for her. What about finding it?
He has no Ming Dynasty tonight, so it is better to destroy the enemy and restore peace to the Xia country. She can live better, too!
Unexpectedly, after many years, he met her not long after he returned to the capital.
Now, she is the Lady of Xuanping Hou.
Xuanping Hou?
Thinking of this, Pei Zhe frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Two years ago, in the battle in Northern Xinjiang, Pei Zhe was stationed on the border of the Great Zhou State. It was too far away from northern Xinjiang to rush over.
Moreover, he also has to guard against the three kingdoms of Dayue, Dazhou, and Northern Xinjiang joining forces.
In this battlefield, Xuanping Hou Ye Zhao participated, and also made great contributions, and was named General Dingyuan.
He remembered the news collected by the night wind again, the relationship between Xuanping Hou and Su Ruyi should not be very good, otherwise how could he have the idea of degrading his wife as a concubine?
Yes, his niece Jinghe, as Su Ruyi's friend, also said that she will soon be no longer Mrs. Hou.
Thinking of this, Pei Zhe said to the night breeze on the side: You have recently made people pay more attention to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
The night breeze was a little disdainful, saying that he should pay attention to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but in fact, he should pay attention to Su Ruyi.
As Pei Zhe's most heartfelt guard, they have accompanied him from birth to death over the years, and they are more like brothers.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng couldn't help but remind: Lord Wang, that Su family, but, but Mrs. Houfu.
What he didn't say was that even if she could get out of the Hou Mansion, it would be regarded as a second marriage. It's impossible with him.
The queen mother in the palace is very difficult to handle. And the emperor, will they agree?
Pei Zhe's eyes flashed with displeasure, and his voice was a little cold: Night Wind, let you go, you will go, where is so much nonsense?
Night Wind bowed his head and clenched his fists: Yes!
That night, the latest news of the night wind came back, and after Pei Zhe listened to it, he knocked on the desk with his fingers. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Yeyun, from tomorrow, you will quietly follow Su Ruyi and protect her safety."
Soon, Yeyun took the order and left.

After experiencing a conflict yesterday, Su Ruyi knew very well in her heart that she couldn't leave Ye Zhaohe. Just waiting for the day of the winter solstice, she went to the emperor with a blank holy decree and asked for a peace or the grace of Hugh.
Now, they just want to find fault with her, trying to force her to get the money.
Su Ruyi understood very well that the Hou Mansion did not enter, and the little silver in Ye Mu's hand was estimated to have been spent.
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and I don't know what pickled things they will do?
It can be said that if she is in this Hou Mansion for a day, she will be in danger for a day.
However, as a married woman, she didn't want her father and mother to worry, so she could only carry it herself.
In the past few days, Su's father and Su's mother have indeed sent people to ask about her situation. Su Ruyi is all about good news and not bad news.
It was similar to what Su Ruyi expected, seeing that Ye Zhao didn't ask for the silver again, he also asked him to sign and leave the book. Ye Mu was completely panicked! Because she saw Su Ruyi's determination.
According to the law of the Xia Kingdom: When a woman marries and obeys her husband, regardless of whether she has children or no children after marriage, and when a woman dies, the dowry will go to her husband's family.
Ye Mu thought about it for a day, there was no better way than to get rid of Su Ruyi and let her die quietly.
After making a decision, Ye Mu quietly called Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao experienced Su Ruyi's rejection yesterday, and he was both afraid and angry. He originally thought that Su Ruyi still had a bit of a look, and the two might not be able to get along well.
Then he will be gentle with her and say something soft, as his mother said, and perhaps she will be willing to take the money out.
Who knows, Su Ruyi didn't give him this opportunity at all, and he didn't even let him touch it. What's the use of keeping it?
Because the predicament of the Hou Mansion is there, the silver money is a knife hanging over their heads.
Therefore, hearing Ye Mu's decision, Ye Zhao did not refute it.

The mother and son summed it up again, and after making sure that the plan was correct, they asked people to call Zhou Yingying.
Why choose Zhou Yingying?
Mother Ye thinks that she is her niece and an unreliable father, and now she is Ye Zhao's concubine, and they are grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
The most important thing is that Zhou Yingying and Su Ruyi did not have a bad relationship. In this way, it is easier for Su Ruyi to believe her.
Who knows, Zhou Yingying listened to their plan, her face turned pale and pale, and her heart was mixed.
It turned out that his own aunt was so vicious.
She felt that she was ruthless, and she calculated Ye Zhao with Su Ruyi, and became his concubine as she wished.
She believes that by doing so, she has not hindered anyone's interests, nor has she hurt nature and reason. Now, they actually asked her to murder Su Ruyi's life. She subconsciously resisted.
Not to mention anything else, Su Ruyi was kind to her at the beginning.
Although she knew very well that Su Ruyi asked her to be Ye Zhao's concubine, it was also to block Jiang Furong. But no matter what, Su Ruyi didn't harm her. This path was chosen by herself.
And now, Ye Mu and Ye Zhao actually let her harm others. After several struggles, Zhou Yingying knelt in front of Mother Ye and cried: The concubine is stupid, I'm afraid there is no way...... Auntie, you know, I've been timid since I was a child, and I'm afraid that the Su clan will see it......
The reason why she called her aunt was also to remind Mother Ye that she was her niece, and they all had the blood of the Ye family in their bones, so Mother Ye let her go.
It's just that Mother Ye was not persuaded by her, she picked up Zhou Yingying, and said earnestly: Yingying, my aunt is not ruthless, but Su Ruyi is too hateful! Now, she refuses to take the silver out, the life of the Hou Mansion can't go on, and her aunt is also embarrassed.
Auntie, I hope you can help us. So be it, aunt promises you. Wait for her Su family to die, let Jiang be his wife, how about you be a flat wife?
After speaking, she gave Ye Zhao a look.
Ye Zhao also pretended to be embarrassed, and said to Zhou Yingying: Yingying, I am also for our future, isn't it? You can rest assured, this Seven Day Soul Breaking Herb, after taking it at that time, there was no reaction. It will take 7 days to ...... The poison came from northern Xinjiang. I also got ...... by accident
5.
Zhou Yingying wavered.
Her eyes flashed, and her heart was horizontal: After the matter is completed, I want to be a wife!
After speaking, she looked at Ye Mu and Ye Zhao.
The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded. Anyway, Jiang Furong made trouble for a while at most, and she didn't have a powerful mother's family, so she couldn't set off much turmoil.
As for letting Zhou Yingying be his wife, it's not a matter of their words.
Get rid of the big trouble in her heart, she can do whatever she wants. It's a good deal!
Although Ye Mu and Ye Zhao agreed, Zhou Yingying always felt that it was not enough. She asked Ye Zhao to write it out, sign it, and put her handprint on it.
Ye Zhao was struggling and reluctant.
Ye Mu made the final decision: Zhao'er, Yingying's request is not excessive, follow her!
is also, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.
Ye Zhao quickly found pen and ink and wrote a letter of guarantee for Zhou Yingying.
After the guarantee was completed, he raised her as his wife and became the head of the Hou Mansion.
This night, Ye Mu had a good night's sleep.
It's just that Zhou Yingying tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep. Originally, Ye Zhao was going to rest in her room, but she drove her to Jiang Furong under the pretext that she was unwell.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Yingying sat up with her shirt on, and by the cold moonlight, she looked at the pair of gold-inlaid jade bracelets on her hands.
This is the second day of entering the house, she gave Su Ruyi tea, and she gave her.
Since she was a child, Zhou Yingying has never worn such valuable jewelry. She liked the bracelets so much that she wore them all the time.
She knew that this was just a drop in the bucket for Su Ruyi. But for her, it was her kindness to her.
Zhou Yingying wrinkled her brows, and her heart was always at war.
6.
In the evening of the second day, a strong wind blew against the windows, making a hissing sound.
Su Ruyi was afraid of the cold, so she asked Yunxiang and Yingxiang to go to the small kitchen early to prepare meals.
As soon as dinner was served, Zhou Yingying came with the food box prepared by Ye's mother.
Su Ruyi was defenseless against her, and only happily invited her to taste the carrot and mutton soup stewed by Yunxiang.
Su Ruyi paid for a charcoal fire by herself, so her indoor room was warmer than other places.
After Zhou Yingying came in, she only felt a burst of heat coming, and her face was also reddened.
She sat down on the table, opened the food box, and said to Su Ruyi: Today, my father sent me two domestic ducks, and I borrowed my mother-in-law's small kitchen to make radish and duck soup, which is the most nourishing in winter. So, I sent some to my wife to taste.
Song Ruyi didn't think much about her words, she thought that Zhou Yingying was repaying the favor, and she let her marry Ye Zhao as she wished.
Taking the soup handed over by Zhou Yingying, Su Ruyi was not hypocritical, she picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup, and sent it to her mouth.
Seeing that the soup was about to be imported, Zhou Yingying's complexion changed suddenly.
