Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

Pei Jin immediately realized that he had backfired.

"Chan Yi, that's not what I meant." He whispered, "The political situation is changing a lot, I'm just afraid that you'll get hurt. Although the Fourth Prince has gone to Jiangyin Prefecture to become an idle prince, you don't know that there are countless people watching him secretly, and he is the only heir of Concubine Zhang, who was once favored."

"So what?" Chan Yi asked coldly.

"That means that His Majesty might agree to his request for an arranged marriage for you. After all, this is a major event in the life of the Fourth Prince." Pei Jin said with a sullen face, "Even the Queen may not be able to intervene in this matter."

Chan Yi's heart was pounding. If it was true as Pei Jin said, the Fourth Prince might really do such a thing.

She knew that once the imperial decree of marriage was issued, it would be impossible to take it back. The Fourth Prince came to the capital this time under the pretext of celebrating the Queen's birthday, and he would not stay in the capital for long. If he really wanted to marry her, then these few days would be the best time.

Pei Jin saw Chan Yi's face turn pale instantly and knew that she had heard it. When he thought of the Fourth Prince hanging around Zhuantang Town all day, often coming to the courtyard to drink tea and chat with her, eat the food she made, and tease their lovely little An'er, he became jealous and wished to kill him immediately.

"Chan Yi, will you listen to me? Don't provoke the Fourth Prince again." Pei Jin leaned over and held Chan Yi in his arms.

"Who provoked him?" Chan Yi pushed his hand away and said sternly, "Don't damage my clothes. It's getting late. I want to go back. You don't have to mind my business."

"Chan Yi, don't act on impulse, it will be too late to regret it later." Pei Jin looked earnestly and whispered, "Listen to me, let me take you back to Yixiang Pavilion."

"No, absolutely not!" Chan Yi shook her head and refused. Pei Jin was really cunning. He wanted to use this trick to confirm his relationship with him and make others give up. She was now the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Her every move was related to the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She couldn't let her parents down.

"Chan Yi, please." Pei Jin gritted his teeth and said, "I will never hurt you, I just want you and An'er to live a worry-free life. Don't worry, if you really don't want to spend your life with me, I will never make it difficult for you, I will always wait for you to change your mind. Do you know how happy I was when I learned that you were still alive? At least in this life I still have a chance to wait for you to come back."

Chan Yi listened silently, and felt touched for no reason. Perhaps when a person really leaves, the other person will feel her importance. Pei Jin was like this, and so was she.

Can she trust him? Chan Yi smiled self-deprecatingly. He should like the little girl in his memory who always listened to him, knew nothing, and clung to him like a dodder, right?

"Chan Yi, please trust me again, okay?" Pei Jin held her hand and said sincerely, "Let's go now."

As he said that, he pushed open the door and walked out taking Chan Yi's hand.

"Wait a minute, I still haven't taken something." Chan Yi broke free from his hand, turned back into the house and picked up the coral headdress given by the Crown Princess. Thinking of the pile of messy towels and clothes in the bathroom, she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Don't worry, my people will clean this place and make sure no traces are left." Pei Jin knew what she was thinking and raised his hand to tidy up her messy hair.

Chan Yi followed her out of the side hall silently. The maids and palace maids who followed her outside had disappeared without a trace.

Chan Yi knew that it was Pei Jin's doing, but she was a little surprised. This was the Eastern Palace after all. Although Pei Jing was an official of the Eastern Palace, he did not have such great power to mobilize the people around the Crown Princess.

"Don't worry." Pei Jing whispered, "I have informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter. I promised him that I would never hurt you. As for the rest, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a smart man and didn't ask too many questions."

Pei Jin thought that Jing Hao must be very surprised when he learned of his request, but he still believed in his character and let him meet Chan Yi alone. He was very grateful for his kindness.

Chan Yi looked at Pei Jin calmly, not knowing how much the Crown Prince knew. However, she was sure that the drama that happened today was half true and half false, and Pei Jin had arranged it very well. She finally saw his methods.

"I hope you didn't lie to me. I don't want to disrupt our current peaceful life for the time being. As for the future, I won't make any promises to you. After all, I'm not an orphan with no one to rely on now." Chan Yi looked up at him and saw that his eyes were dark. She didn't know what he was thinking about. She felt more and more that she couldn't see through him.

"Chan Yi, I have never lied to you." Pei Jin's eyes were gentle, "I, Pei Jin, swear that I will never lie to you in this life."

"Then tell me, is it true that you were poisoned?" Chan Yi asked in a low voice, looking into his eyes.

"Chan Yi, I just have a relapse of an old illness. Don't worry, I'm fine." Pei Jin looked sincere and raised his hand and clenched his fist, acting as if he was invincible. He didn't want to make his beloved lady worry. Besides, he didn't want her to think that he was always sick and not a good man.

Chan Yi pondered for a long time, not sure whether what he said was true or false, but since he said no, then so be it.

"Chan Yi, there are maids and palace maids waiting outside the palace gate. They will take you back." Pei Jin saw a figure moving in front of him and whispered hurriedly, "Since you don't want me to take you back, then I will follow you from a distance until you return safely to your mother."

Chan Yi felt warm in her heart. It turned out that he said he wanted to send her back only because he was worried about her safety. She had misunderstood him just now.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Pei Jin gently raised his hand and pinned a jade hairpin in her hair.

"You..." Chan Yi raised her hand to take it off.

"Don't move, it looks very nice." Pei Jin held her hand and put the peach wood bracelet on her wrist. "Return it to its original owner, go back quickly."

The peach wood bracelet with his body temperature slid into Chan Yi's wrist. Chan Yi looked up at him. Pei Jin turned around and waved to her behind the door.

Chan Yi calmed herself down and slowly walked out of the palace gate. Nanny Zhu and the others were already waiting there.

"Miss Xiao, the Crown Princess has fallen asleep. She asked the servants to take you back to Yixiang Pavilion." Nanny Zhu and a group of palace maids squatted down to salute. Seeing their calm expressions, Chan Yi's uneasiness in her heart instantly disappeared.

On the way back, Chan Yi was turning the peach wood bracelet in her hand, thinking about how to tell her mother about Pei Jin. Then she saw two people walking in front of her. They looked like two young men, but their appearances were vague and she couldn't see them clearly.
