The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

As soon as the banners from the Marquis' Mansion were hung, the whole city was in an uproar.

Everyone in the streets and alleys was alarmed.

Everyone thought that General Pei was dead.

After all, news came out in the first half of the year that General Pei didn't have much time left.

The people didn't know what was going on, so they all ran to the gate of the marquis' mansion and cried.

The guards at the Marquis' Mansion had no choice but to explain to everyone one by one that it was not General Pei who was dead, but a concubine's son in the Marquis' Mansion who drowned.

General Pei is doing fine!!!

When the people heard this, they all thought to themselves, "That's not bad, that's not bad."

The various noble families in Shengjing were also puzzled. Logically speaking, General Pei's death was such a major event that someone should have come to announce the death.

But no one came no matter how long I waited.

It’s not easy to go to their house and ask.

I'm so anxious.

Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an broke out in a cold sweat! She grabbed the servant and said:

"What? The white flags have been hung at the Marquis of Jinyuan's mansion? Ah! My poor Li'er! How are you going to survive? A'zhe! A'zhe, didn't you say your brother-in-law was getting better? How come he's gone? Lord Marquis, what are we going to do with our Li'er?"

Marquis Yong'an was also shocked.

Su Zhe was even more confused. He had just met his brother-in-law not long ago, and he looked so majestic!

How can it just disappear like that!

But the white banners have been hung up, how could it be fake?

"Brother-in-law!"

Su Zhe also sat down on the ground and started crying.

Such a good brother-in-law!

What should I do, sister?

Seeing his wife and son crying, the Marquis was extremely worried and shouted at the servants:

"Can you see clearly?"

The servant took a breath and explained:

"No! No! My Lord, Madam! It's not my son-in-law! I haven't finished speaking yet! ... You've made a mistake! It's a bastard son of the third son of their family."

"Bah! Bah! Bah! You'll die if you don't breathe when you talk! You scared me to death!"

Qin wiped away her tears and patted her chest.

But he was still worried, so he sent a confidant to say:

"Go ask, and come back and tell me when you've found out."

The Marquis looked at his wife and son hugging each other and wiping their tears, feeling both angry and amused!

The news also reached the palace.

When Concubine Jiang heard this, she was so shocked that she dropped the cup in her hand to the ground. She felt relieved when she heard that it was not Pei Heng. But when she heard that it was a bastard's son, she was frightened again.

"Bastard? Which bastard?"

The palace maid said, "I heard it was the Third Young Master's illegitimate son. He fell into the water with the eldest young master's child. The Third Young Master's child is gone."

"What about the eldest young master's family?" Concubine Jiang was about to tear her handkerchief into pieces.

"I haven't heard of it." The palace maid shook her head blankly.

Haven't heard of it? So it's all right?

Concubine Jiang was very nervous and couldn't sit still. She simply got up and went to the kitchen to make some pastries, and then went to the imperial study in person.

As soon as I entered the imperial study, I heard Emperor Jingde clapping his hands on the table and laughing. When he saw Concubine Jiang come in, he quickly waved his hand and called her over.

"Your Majesty, is there any great joy?"

Concubine Jiang was worried and forced herself to smile.

Emperor Jingde took her hand and said:

"Yes! Happy news! Great news! My beloved, my General Pei is better now!"

"General Pei? Is the emperor talking about Pei Heng?"

"That's him! My beloved, look, this is the memorial he just submitted. He said that he was previously thought to be dead, but his wife unexpectedly found a hidden miracle doctor who cured him! Look, now he is not only healthy, but can even write!"

Emperor Jingde happily handed the memorial to Concubine Jiang.

Concubine Jiang took a quick look and saw that the handwriting was crooked and it was really hard to tell what was good about it. But Emperor Jingde was happy and pulled her aside to talk incessantly:

"My Pei Heng! Hahahaha... It's all right! It's all right! It's just that the handwriting is so crooked and unsightly."

Shun Dajian wiped his tears and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. General Pei can now write, which means he is really good. It's really great!"

"Humph! You little dog slave, you went to see him in person, and you came back and told me he was dying!"

Emperor Jingde was furious when he recalled how Shun Dajian had come back from the Marquis' Mansion with tears and snot on his knees and cried.

Shun Dajian was stunned and thought back to that day carefully.

It seemed as if General Pei kept telling him, "I'm almost well, Eunuch, I'm really almost well..."

But he didn't believe it at the time!

Thinking of it, he slapped himself a few times and cried:

"Your Majesty, it is I who deserve to die. Some time ago, the general said that he was almost well, and I, I thought he... he... ah..."

Concubine Jiang quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Your Majesty, it's great news that General Pei is back on track! I just don't know who his wife is, and how could she be so powerful!"

Emperor Jingde smiled mysteriously and said:

"Her! You don't know. Come here, I'll talk to you in detail!"

Concubine Jiang hurried forward and secretly signaled to Eunuch Shun.

Shun Dajian quickly clasped his fists in gratitude.

……

A misunderstanding caused a sensation in the city.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The Marquis's wife sat in the room, wiping a few tears, and looking at her son who was fidgeting, she said impatiently:

"Alright, alright, isn't it just that he's better? Why are you so restless?"

Pei Yan looked constipated. "Mom, you don't know! He, he, I, I... Hey! I can't explain it to you clearly!"

"How can I know if you don't tell me? Yan'er, you are already the prince of the Marquisate, and it was the emperor who issued the decree himself. Even if he gets better, this is a fact that cannot be changed! Why are you so anxious?"

The Marquis's wife felt much better after a good sleep.

She also figured it out. She had been hoping for Pei Heng's death every day just for his position as the crown prince.

Now that he has obtained the position of the crown prince, it seems that it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies.

Besides, looking at his appearance, he will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. What kind of general is a general in a wheelchair? Doesn't he still have to rely on the Marquis's mansion to make a living?

When the time comes, if you are happy, give him a treat. If you are unhappy, ignore him!

But she really couldn't understand why her son was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Pei Yan felt uneasy and stood up and walked out.

"Son, where are you going? There are still many things to take care of after Ping'er's funeral!" The Marquis's wife chased out.

"Mom, just watch. I'll be out for a while."

Pei Yan left without looking back.

The Marquis's wife grumbled, "You don't care about your own son's affairs, and you throw everything to me. What kind of business is this?"

……

Flower shop.

In the room reserved by Pei Yanchang.

Prince Jing was hugging several beautiful women, soft and fragrant. Seeing Pei Yan coming in in a daze, he glanced at him and said:

"Yo, what's going on?"

"He's fine!"

"Who's better?" Prince Jing frowned.

Pei Yan glanced at the beauties in the room, who immediately left tactfully. Seeing that no one was in the room, Pei Yan burst into tears, covering his face and saying in a somewhat insane manner:

"Pei Heng! My elder brother! He's fine!"

"what?"

The wine glass in Prince Jing's hand clattered, and the wine spilled. He sat up straight with a sinister look on his face, and then slammed the glass to the ground with a bang, and said angrily:

"Pei Yan, you promised me!"

"Yes, I did. But, but he was really dying at that time. I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? Even Doctor Zheng said that he was dead, and it happened recently. I really don't understand, how, how did he get better?"

Prince Jing grabbed Pei Yan by the collar, his narrow eyes as cold and terrifying as a venomous snake.

"Pei Yan, don't forget. Three years ago, you used yourself as bait to lure your eldest brother out of the city, and then betrayed his whereabouts to the Beimang people. Hundreds of thousands of Beimang people pursued him, leading to his defeat and capture. What do you think would happen if Pei Heng and his generals knew about this?"

"One wrong step leads to another! When he didn't die in the enemy camp, I told you he was a hidden danger, but you didn't listen. You kept him alive and tortured him slowly, just to satisfy your shameful vanity. Now he's fine!"

"Pei Yan, if you ruin my plans for this, I won't care about our brotherly relationship!"

Prince Jing threw Pei Yan to the ground fiercely.

Pei Yan broke out in a cold sweat and grabbed the wine jug on the table and gulped it down. It was as if once he was drunk, everything would be forgotten.

After drinking a pot of wine, he finally felt better. He slammed his fist on the table and said:

"Your Highness, I'm going to kill him!"

"Are you crazy? You've had so many opportunities in the past three years, but you didn't do anything! Now that everyone in the city knows he's a good person, how easy is it to kill him? What's more, my second and fifth brothers have been staring at me like they're staring at my eyes every day lately! Aren't you just giving them something to worry about?"

"What should I do?"

Prince Jing looked coldly at the bustling lights outside the window.

He and his mother had been planning for so many years, eliminating powerful competitors one after another, to achieve the current situation.

I originally thought I could wait a few more years.

But now it seems that we can't wait any longer.

The emperor is old, and it's time for him to abdicate. Half of the officials in the court are his supporters. As long as he speeds up and takes that position, what else can Pei Heng do?

"What should we do? Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly!" Prince Jing said darkly, "Give me the recipe for the firearm as soon as possible!"

Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Prince Jing was finally going to take action. The uncontrollable fear in his heart was replaced by excitement. He hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely get it out as soon as possible!"
