Your Highness, you stole my heart

"The fourth child was pierced by an arrow, and that arrow was from the princess mansion." Emperor Jin Cheng coughed a few times and continued, "Yan'er, do you have something to say?"

Peng Ji was originally kneeling and leaning on Fa Yi's shoulder, when she heard this, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief, she murmured: "What?"

Emperor Jin Cheng glanced at Feng Decai, who immediately brought a tray to Emperor Jin Cheng.

There was a bloody arrow on the tray, Jin Chengdi took the arrow and threw it on the ground, right in front of Peng Ji's knees, "Look for yourself."

Peng Ji stared blankly, reaching out to pick it up, but was stopped by Fa Yi.She took out a handkerchief to wrap the arrow on the ground, picked it up and looked carefully at the sign, it was indeed from the Princess Mansion.

This is a unified construction by the Ministry of Industry, everyone knows that it belongs to the Princess Mansion, so if Peng Ji really wanted to kill someone, would she be so stupid to use the arrows from her mansion?

Fa Yi raised his head and glanced at Emperor Jin Cheng, with an expression of no trust on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed an arrow from the palace, but neither Your Highness nor the minister has used a bow and arrow today, so why this arrow appeared here, the minister does not know."

Who on earth wants the princess mansion to suffer?

Emperor Cheng of Jin already knew that his fate was not long. Before he died, he would not let Princess Xifeng's only heir go. However, King Yan is his own son. He has more ways to make His Highness die. There is no need to sacrifice a son. .

The other one is King De. Once King Yan died and His Highness was implicated again, he would be the last successor.

Fayi turned his head to look at King De who was kneeling beside him, only to see that his face was sad, but his eyes were full of shrewdness.

Peng Ji looked at the person behind the table, and she asked, "Father doesn't trust sons and ministers." She said affirmatively, without any doubts. "But father, is it possible that in father's heart, the son is so stupid that he would kill someone without covering it?"

Emperor Jin Cheng stared straight at Peng Ji, he was weighing whether this daughter raised since childhood knew the truth?Impossible to know, when my sister agreed with her own words, she would not tell the truth.If the queen mother is still alive, then she will definitely not break her promise.

Since she didn't know the truth yet, there was no need for her to tear herself apart and scare the snake, because it would be difficult to do it at that time.He still wants to leave a good name for himself after all.

He really wanted to pull a smirk, but when he thought of his son lying there, he couldn't smile. With a face with protruding cheekbones, he said sullenly: "I believe that Yan'er is not the kind of person who kills brothers." , but I have to give Manchao an explanation, maybe you can understand me?"

Peng Ji remained expressionless, "I obey."

"Hongde, I will give you three days. You must find out the truth and give an explanation to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Yan'er and the prime minister are staying in the palace these days. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of your Palace of the Sun. Half a step."

Peng Ji and Fa Yi were sent back to the palace by the Imperial Army. Emperor Jin Cheng and Wen Wu of the Manchu Dynasty also left the temporary palace. Only King De was still "desperately" looking for evidence in the hunting ground.

While on the road, Emperor Cheng of Jin vomited blood frantically, causing the accompanying imperial physicians to panic.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Jin Cheng finally woke up, but he could only lie down and talk, with no strength in his feet. The imperial physician broke down when he saw the rapidly turning black legs, "It is impossible for Emperor Jin Cheng's legs to grow any longer. stand up."

After another panting, Emperor Cheng of Jin issued two decrees in succession, and King De was temporarily in charge of the country to deal with King Yan's funeral and find out the truth of the case.There is another decree for Peng Ji, Princess Peng Ji will attend to her sickness sooner or later, and the rest of the harem will be gone.

Sun Palace.

Fa Yi paced back and forth in the study, while Peng Ji sat behind the desk and said nothing.

"Your Highness can't go, Emperor Cheng of Jin now makes you sick sooner or later, he must be planning to harm His Highness." Fa Yi stopped beside Peng Ji's chair, and said while holding Peng Ji's hand.

Peng Ji's face was full of exhaustion, she smiled wryly and shook her head, "My son-in-law should know, I have no choice at this time."

It would have been okay if she had just left, but now she is being watched by her father, and she can't even get out of the palace gate.If she resists the decree and does not respect it at this time, not only herself, but the entire princess mansion will be implicated by her.

Fa Yi was a little anxious, "I have a choice. As long as His Highness is willing, the prison wine can lead His Highness to leave the palace quietly." At this time, she hated Princess Xifeng very much, and did not show up when she was supposed to.

If His Highness hadn't decided to stay and help Princess Xifeng, she would have left with the entire Princess Mansion long ago.

Peng Ji looked down at Fa Yi, "And then? Even if Ben Gong and you both escape, what about the Princess Mansion? You and I will take Ruo'er and the three of us to escape, but the concubine knows how many people there are in the entire Princess Mansion." At that time, they will all become my scapegoats. What's more, my father still keeps me, so I must still be useful."

"But how do I watch my beloved walk close to someone who wants her life all the time? Your Highness, I will always be in fear. If you are hurt by the slightest bit, I will hate myself to death." "Fa hugged Peng Ji's legs with one hand, and she tried her best to express her worry, hoping to dissuade His Highness from this idea and walk with her.

When she saw King Yan's death, she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart, which was beyond his expectation.

She had originally planned that after the death of Emperor Jin Cheng, His Highness would be able to escape from the court if King Yan ascended the throne, but now...even if Emperor Jin Cheng was killed, His Highness would not be able to leave.

King De, who is like a poisonous snake, can never sit in that seat. Neither she nor His Highness can entrust the world to such a person.

She clearly planned to let His Highness take that seat from the beginning, but ever since His Highness said that he didn't want that seat, she has imagined countless possibilities in the future.

She is more and more extravagant to take His Highness and sister Ruo back to the mountain, make tea in the morning, and smoke in the sunset.Occasionally go to the rivers and lakes to see, to travel this great river and mountain, and live a life with only each other in my eyes.

She hugged Peng Ji's legs tightly, wanting to hug her and fly away.

Peng Ji felt the strength on her legs, she touched the top of Fa Yi's head, "Don't worry, my son-in-law, I just go there sooner or later." She said firmly, "My son-in-law must remember, if What really happened in the palace, you must first go out to find aunt to save this palace, don't be impulsive."

What she had to admit was that she was secretly happy when she heard what the son-in-law said.She used to think that when the son-in-law was lying to her, she only felt that she had nothing. At that time, she understood the weight of this person in her heart.Now, at least she got her sweetheart's attention.

Fa stood up in a jerk, she stared at two red eyes, and increased the volume, "Why? Why do you want me to go?"

This was the rare time she spoke so loudly to Peng Ji, but her eyes were red and it hurt Peng Ji's heart.

"Silly girl, you have to save your own life before you can save me." Peng Ji stood up and reached out to gently caress Fa Yi's cheek.

Her thumb rubbed against the skin under Fayi, unconsciously exerting force.It made Fa Yi feel a little pain, but she didn't want Peng Ji to move away at all, she pressed Peng Ji's hand with one hand, and pressed it heavily on her face.

She felt the warmth of Peng Ji's palm, and smelled the faint scent of plum blossoms. She couldn't accept the slightest damage to this person.

Looking at each other, Fa Yi eagerly hugged Peng Ji tightly, shaking his head, "I don't want to, I won't go. If you really let me go, I will take Sister Ruo away. Whether you live or not, I will I won't be coming back." She said so harshly that even His Highness forgot to shout.

Just like the decision made at the beginning, when you ascend to the high position, you will disappear in Jingzhou forever with sister Ruo.Just act like nothing happened these days.

Even though she knew that she was doing it for her own safety, being pushed away like this still made her feel abandoned.

Peng Ji hugged Fa Yi back in a daze, "The son-in-law is now, but his nature has been exposed?" She deliberately teased with some lightheartedness.

Why would she think about it, but now she doesn't know where her aunt is, and her father can't wait any longer, she has already been roasted on the fire, and there is no way out.

There was a knock on the door.

"Princess, there are people coming from Qianqing Palace, it's already dark." Plum Blossom's voice came from outside.

Peng Ji gently pushed Fa Yi away, and both of them knew that it was Emperor Jin Cheng calling for someone.

"I'm leaving first, the son-in-law has a good rest." Peng Ji said with a flat smile on her face.

She turned around and was about to lift her feet, but she was pulled back by Fayi's hands. She was carried straight into Fayi's arms by a force, and then her waist was tightly bound by hands .

At this moment, Peng Ji's heart ached a little, she regretted it, and at this moment when this person was so reluctant to let her go, she Dugu Qingyan really regretted it.

She shouldn't have stayed after reading her aunt's letter. At that time, they could retreat completely, and she could settle down the entire Princess Mansion. She also had a way to keep the Liu family who had always been on her side.

But now, as long as she takes this leg and reaches Qianqing Palace, she may never return.

She knew very well in her heart that the royal father could only show the calmness when he was still alive for a while, but now that he is dying, he will definitely find a chance to make himself disappear.

Even if you can come back today, you won't be so lucky tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world.

She patted Fa Yi's back lightly, "Father is waiting."

Fa grabbed Peng Ji's shoulders with both hands, and pushed her away slightly, she stared at Peng Ji with red eyes, "Follow me." She waited for the answer without blinking.

Peng Ji felt her heart hurt even more, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "My son-in-law is obedient, wait for Ben."

Before he could finish speaking, Fa Yi stopped him one by one.Her lips were sucked hard, and then her hard teeth began to bite on her lips.

Fa Yi used a little force, she gritted Peng Ji's lips with her teeth, until she opened her lips, Fa Yi retracted her sharp teeth, and stuck her tongue in to hook her.

There was another knock on the door.

Mei Hua's voice seemed worried, "Your Highness? Is there something wrong?"

This sound woke Peng Ji up, fearing that Mei Hua would kick in the door, she tried her best to push Fa Yi away, but the bandage got tighter, and the kiss on her lips became even harder.

She sucked desperately, as if she wanted to eat Peng Ji into her stomach.

Peng Ji resisted forcefully at the beginning, and slowly responded, her hands no longer pushed Fa Yi vigorously, but put her powerlessly on Fa Yi's shoulders.

She already felt a little pain in her lips, and this was the first time she kissed, she would feel pain.In the past, the consort's kisses were always gentle and sweet even if they used a little force.

There were two more worried sounds from outside, and there were constant knocks on the door.

Fa Yi was panting heavily, she looked at Peng Ji's swollen lips, she was a little annoyed at herself, and at the same time angry at Peng Ji, but she slowed down her tone, making herself still gentle in front of Peng Ji, "Dugu Qingyan, you must remember, I'm waiting for you to come back." As he spoke, he kissed the red and swollen lips again.

It's just that this time she kissed very lightly and quickly.

Peng Ji subconsciously licked her lips, she took a deep look at Fa Yi, nodded, turned and walked two steps forward.

"Your Highness."

Fayi shouted from behind, she looked at Peng Ji who turned to look back at her with reluctance and eyes full of affection, and said, "I am pleased with you, the first time I saw you at the Qionglin Banquet, the eyes of my heart It's all about you."

"I know." Peng Ji no longer called herself Ben Gong, and at this moment, in front of Fa Yi, she was just lonely.

Finally, with Mei Hua's last cry, Peng Ji opened the door and followed the two young eunuchs to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve the sick.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was nothing but the sound of coughing.

Peng Ji saluted respectfully, the same attitude she had when meeting Emperor Jin Cheng 20 years ago.

She held the medicine bowl and fed it spoon by spoon, without any expression on her face, nor any worry in her eyes.

After a bowl of decoction was exhausted, Emperor Jin Cheng's cough finally got better. He sat half leaning on the dragon bed, while Peng Ji stood beside the dragon bed and waited.

Emperor Jin Cheng's voice was low and hoarse, "Yan'er, the third brother said that he couldn't find any other clues, only the arrow. Tell the truth. Did the fourth brother do it by you?"

Peng Ji still bowed her hands respectfully, "Father, my son has never done this."

Emperor Jin Cheng's eyes were sharp, "There is no other evidence, so it can only be done by you, do you understand?"

Peng Ji looked back at Emperor Jin Cheng, without any timidity, "I don't understand what my father said, why should I admit what I haven't done? Why didn't my father find the real culprit for Brother Four?"

There were only these two people in the hall, and no one had any scruples anymore.

"I just want to avenge the fourth brother, so I can't let you go. Yan'er, you know the truth." Emperor Jin Cheng said affirmatively, and sneered, "After thinking about it, I can't figure out who will treat the old man. All around, until just now, the youngest said that the imperial sister who was supposed to be in the northwest might have returned to Jingzhou. In an instant, I figured it out. It was you, you knew the truth, and you came to avenge Concubine Hua." For the word Huafei, Emperor Jin Cheng gritted his teeth a little bit. If his legs hadn't lost strength, he might have jumped out of bed.

Having reached this point, Peng Ji put down her arched hands, and stood up straight, "What should I call my father now? Your Majesty? Or, uncle?"

Emperor Jin Cheng opened his eyes suddenly when he heard this, and then laughed twice, "As expected, you already knew."

But Peng Ji couldn't help but sneered, "What should I do next? I'm afraid Princess Peng Ji killed her elder brother, Lord Yan, an unforgivable crime, and beheaded it for public display? Exile again?"

Emperor Jin Cheng wanted to speak, but Peng Ji didn't want to listen to those hypocritical words. She asked directly, "It's just that I don't know one thing all the time. Who is His Majesty's favorite prince?"

Among the five sons, she didn't think that Emperor Jin Cheng loved any son deeply.

Emperor Jin Cheng seemed very satisfied with the feeling that others couldn't figure him out, so he smiled a few times before answering: "Who else is in this court now?"

With just this sentence, Peng Ji understood.

Since he was a child, he was especially favored by Emperor Jin Cheng, but he actually regarded himself as a target and became a thorn in the eyes of all the princes.

And the most low-key, the most unfavored son in the eyes of others, is the umbrella given to him by Emperor Jin Cheng.

She remembered some rumors about Concubine Xue that she had heard when she was young. She was the mother and concubine of the old King Sande. He also didn't want to take him with him to raise him personally, but raised him for a concubine who had no heirs.

The rumors at that time were that Concubine Xue Gui had someone who was in love with each other at home, and she even reached the point of discussing marriage, but she was favored by King Huai and was forcibly carried into Prince Huai's mansion. .

Looking at it now, the noble concubine Xue escaped the open and secret fights of the women in the harem safely because of this reputation that she does not fight or grab.But his own mother and concubine, on the surface, became Emperor Jin Cheng's favorite concubine, and also the most hated by those women in the palace.

Don't those elder brothers hate themselves because of their mother and concubine?

"Your Majesty is really tall." Peng Ji cupped her hands, "Since I served Your Majesty with the decoction, the minister withdrew. As for the confession that His Majesty mentioned, I think I have no choice."

After finishing speaking, Peng Ji ignored the expression of Emperor Jin Cheng on the dragon bed, and walked out of the hall quickly. Outside the hall were the Imperial Forest Army waiting to see her off.

Seeing that Peng Ji had left, Feng Dequan hurried into His Royal Highness to wait on him. As soon as he turned around, he saw a black shadow jumping down. Down unconscious.

The black shadow kicked the person who fell on the ground, and then entered the temple.

"Dequan, cough cough, Feng Dequan, get the hell out of here."

"Eunuch Feng may not be able to come in for the time being."

A man in black with a black cloth covering his face appeared beside the dragon bed, and Emperor Jin Cheng was so frightened that he subconsciously shouted, but when he was waved by the man in black, his whole body became weak and he lost all strength.

"You, who are you?" Emperor Jin Cheng's voice was weak, not to mention the guards outside, even the man in black beside the dragon bed had difficulty listening.

The man in black directly and generously pulled the black cloth, revealing a fair face, "Your Majesty, I am your personal prime minister."

Emperor Jin Cheng excitedly pointed at the man in black, "Fa, Fa prison wine!"
