Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

Fengyazhai Private Room

Thirteen was surprised that Pei Suisui would be the one to send her the invitation first.

She arrived at the private room a little earlier than agreed. She looked around and saw that the furnishings were just as simple and elegant as they were on the day she was assassinated.

Thirteen stared intently at the hot tea that the waiter had just served, her inner emotions still churning. She had long wanted to find an opportunity to see Pei Suisui.

But she didn't understand what role she should play in facing her.

Was he a benefactor of the Pei family, or a sinner of the Pei family?

After all, Pei Suisui's injuries were all thanks to her. That's why when Pei Nanyue personally brought medicine to see her in the dungeon, she subconsciously thought it was to make her pay with her life.

"Squeak-"

The door to the private room was gently pushed open, and Pei Suisui, dressed in a plain gray dress, slowly walked into the room.

Thirteen hurriedly looked up and saw Pei Suisui, who was dressed elegantly today, with a pale face and a look of exhaustion in her eyes.

"Miss Pei, you've arrived."

Thirteen didn't know whether Pei Suisui's invitation to come today was to interrogate her or for some other purpose.

Clearly, she didn't want to put Pei Suisui in a difficult position, which is why she changed her form of address.

Pei Suisui paused slightly at the doorway, then raised her eyelids and glared at Thirteen Dao.

"What? You've even changed how you address me after all this time."

"You're not angry with me?"

Thirteen hesitated for a moment, watching Pei Suisui slowly sit down beside her, her eyes fixed on Pei Suisui's temporarily immobile legs as she replied.

"Why should I be angry? That was the path I chose myself, it has nothing to do with you."

Have you been feeling better lately?

Thirteen noticed that Pei Suisui looked rather thin, and guessed that she must have suffered a lot.

Pei Suisui curled her lips into a faint smile.

"I'm fine. The imperial physician said I need to rest. I heard from my sister that you even sent someone to check on me?"

Thirteen nodded slightly and said, "At that time, I was still in the dungeon of Dali Temple and could not personally visit you to see your illness. I could only ask Haojing to pass on the message. The medicine sent to your residence was prescribed by the two of us together."

Looking at Pei Suisui's pale face, which seemed increasingly cold, she quickly added...

"However, before I sent it, I had Haojing make a copy and send it to the Imperial Hospital for filing, so you can rest assured. There shouldn't be any problems."

Pei Suisui paused upon hearing this. She looked up at Thirteen's cautious expression and suddenly realized that perhaps her appearance had frightened her.

“You don’t need to be so careful. Everyone in Nanyang knows that you are a skilled physician. I’m afraid even the imperial physicians in the palace are not as good as you. I was only able to come out to see you because I used your medicine.”

It seemed that a serious illness had also given Pei Sui Sui a sense of tranquility.

She slowly lowered her head and saw Thirteen's legs.

Although Pei Suisui had prepared herself mentally along the way, when she saw Thirteen sitting in a wheelchair again, the last bit of resentment she had for Thirteen disappeared without a trace.

She raised her hand and gently placed it on Thirteen's wheelchair, saying slowly...

"When the Fourth Princess attacked you, did it hurt a lot?"

Although she also fell off the cliff, she must have hit her head on a rock halfway down and immediately lost consciousness. She remained unconscious from the mountainside all the way down to the bottom of the cliff.

When she finally woke up, Zhou Jinghuai had already sent her back to the Pei residence, and most of her injuries had healed.

Her injuries were not as painful as others might have imagined.

Pei Suisui's indifferent gaze fell on Thirteen's legs. She had heard from her sister that they had been broken by the Fourth Princess.

Thirteen shook his head and said softly.

"I'm fine. Fortunately, I ran into Haojing when I left the Fourth Princess's residence. He helped me put my leg back in time, but I still need to rest."

As she finished speaking, her gaze met Pei Suisui's cool and somewhat ambiguous eyes.

Pei Suisui smiled at her, took out a medicine packet from her bosom, and handed it to Thirteen.

"This is?"

Thirteen took the purse. The stitching on the purse was rather rough, but you could still make out that there was a white flower embroidered on it.

She held the purse to her nose and sniffed it gently; a faint medicinal fragrance emanated from inside. It contained herbs that could calm the mind and promote tranquility.

Did you do it?

Pei Suisui paused slightly, her gaze falling on the purse, and replied thoughtfully.

“It’s a purse made by my Aru, and she embroidered the flowers. But the medicine inside was something I asked someone to find for you.”

"You're so thoughtful, but I also have a gift for you."

Thirteen took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Pei Suisui.

Pei Suisui looked somewhat puzzled, but still opened the letter.

After she carefully read the contents of the letter, her calm expression instantly turned to astonishment.

"Where did you get this letter?" She was somewhat skeptical that Thirteen could obtain such a secret letter.

"No matter where I get this letter, as long as you say the word, I will send someone to deliver it to the emperor and fulfill your wish."

Thirteen snatched the letter from Pei Suisui's hand. Now, as long as Pei Suisui speaks, the Third Prince's official wife can only be Pei Suisui.

“You…” Pei Suisui opened her mouth, but suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“You don’t need to worry, this letter is real, it’s not forged by someone else.” Thirteen quickly explained when he saw Pei Suisui hesitate.

She thought Pei Suisui didn't believe the letter was genuine.

“No, Thirteen.” Pei Suisui pressed her hand back down and suddenly shook her head.

She looked at Thirteen with a somewhat serious expression.

"I will not marry the Third Prince, and please do not reveal this letter to anyone other than us, okay?"

Thirteen was somewhat startled by Pei Suisui's reaction.

She had assumed that Pei Suisui was extremely fond of the Third Prince, Duan Yuchuan.

From the first day she met Pei Suisui, it seemed that Pei Suisui's world only consisted of the Third Prince.

In fact, she specifically had Shen Mu investigate this matter and then personally brought over this secret letter. All of this was to help Pei Suisui obtain the position of the Third Prince's principal wife.

This deal will not result in her father resigning from his official post, nor will it result in her sister entering the palace. For the Pei family, there will be no loss whatsoever.

But when Thirteen re-examined Pei Suishi at this moment, she looked at the girl in front of her and found that she had lost her former liveliness and instead had a gloomy feeling.

"Sui Sui, what... happened to you?"

Thirteen cautiously asked, still somewhat confused about Pei Suisui's decision. After all, Prime Minister Pei had even offered to resign as a bargaining chip to ensure she could marry the Third Prince.

Now, without any sacrifice from the Pei family, Pei Sui Sui can become the Third Prince's principal wife.

What's wrong with it?
