I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 221: Scumbag... Who is he?

Lin Yiyi held the bottle of wine and said with a smile: "Actually, Xue'er, I also have something to tell you."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Jiang Xue moved her butt towards Lin Yiyi and asked.

"Today, I have officially declared war on Princess Jiahe. You know, that princess not only wants the prince's banquet, but also wants to take Xiaoyu for herself. You say..." Lin Yiyi stood up excitedly, "You say there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world. She thinks it's a good idea."

Jiang Xue pulled Lin Yiyi up and agreed, "Yes, when I saw that princess in the palace that day, I felt that she was not a good person. Yiyi, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional green tea dealer."

"Hahaha....."

The laughter of the two people came from above, and Wang Ziyan and Pei Zhijin leaned over to look up.

Wang Ziyan shouted worriedly, "Yiyi, be careful not to fall down."

Lin Yiyi looked down and waved her hand, "Don't worry, we won't fall."

Pei Zhijin held the wine glass in his hand. He knew Jiang Xue's alcohol tolerance. If she continued to drink, she would probably be drunk and unconscious. However, he had no internal strength now and could not bring Jiang Xue down. He looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "It's getting late. You should go back."

Wang Ziyan looked up at the bright moon and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early."

Pei Zhijin rolled his eyes and drank the wine in his hand.

Wang Ziyan saw through it but didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "If you are worried about Jiang Xue, go up and bring her down yourself."

Pei Zhijin ignored Prince Yan, poured himself another glass of wine, and looked at the bamboo in the yard with deep eyes.

Prince Yan suddenly came over and asked softly, "I heard that you have lost all your internal energy. Is that true?"

Pei Zhijin looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "Mind your own business."

Wang Ziyan laughed and said, "We are close friends. I already consider you my brother. Just tell me. Maybe I can help you."

Pei Zhijin stared at Wang Ziyan, knowing that King Cheng already knew about the existence of the Shadow Hall, so he asked, "King Cheng is very scheming. He set up a trap to get you to hand over the Shadow Hall. There must be some conspiracy. You'd better be careful."

After hearing this, Prince Yan's eyebrows became serious and he nodded. "Speaking of which, our King Cheng is really hard to figure out. You say he is bad, but he is not completely bad. But you say he is a good person, but he is not like that at all."

Prince Yan suddenly looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Do you think our King Cheng is coveting that position?"

Pei Zhijin frowned slightly. He and the Emperor had been at odds with Queen Mother Cheng for several years. Most of the things were caused by the Queen Mother, and although King Cheng...he had also participated in it, he mostly provided help. Rather than saying that he was trying to seize the throne, it would be better to say that he was hindering the Queen Mother in every way.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhijin felt that the purpose of King Cheng seemed to be the Queen Mother, and then he thought of Concubine Rou. He heard from Li Lingchen that since the Queen Mother gave up power, she had nightmares every day, and she kept calling Concubine Rou...

Wang Ziyan looked at Pei Zhijin in a daze and waved his hand, "What's wrong with you?"

Pei Zhijin came back to his senses, looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "Prince Cheng's target may be the Queen Mother."

After hearing this, Prince Yan frowned and asked, "Because of Concubine Rou?"

"kindness."

"Hiss..." Wang Ziyan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It seems that King Cheng is really a filial person. Now that the Queen Mother has become like this, what does King Cheng want my Shadow Hall for?"

Pei Zhijin pondered and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Oh, never mind. Now that things have come to an end, we can relax for a while. Oh, the emperor specifically told me today that you don't have to attend court for a few days, so that you can take good care of your health."

Pei Zhijin nodded gently, and suddenly recalled the murder case five years ago. His eyebrows drooped. In the past few days... it seemed that no one was killed...

The years are quiet and the moonlight is pleasant.

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi drank until late at night. Wang Ziyan was worried that they would catch a cold, so he brought them downstairs.

However, the two of them seemed to be drinking very energetically tonight, perhaps because they were in a good mood. Jiang Xue held the bottle tightly, and Pei Zhijin had no choice but to stand up and pick her up with the bottle. Then he looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "It's so late. I have asked someone to clean up the room. You don't have to go back."

Wang Ziyan nodded, took Lin Yiyi's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I didn't intend to go back."

After everyone went back to their rooms, the yard suddenly became quiet, with only two rooms lit with candles. Pei Zhijin put Jiang Xue back on the bed, then took the bottle of wine from Jiang Xue's hand and put it aside, covered her with a quilt and prepared to leave.

Jiang Xue suddenly stood up and grabbed Pei Zhijin's hand, closing her eyes and saying, "You scumbag, I already have someone I like, and he treats me much better than you do."

Pei Zhijin frowned slightly, focusing on the two words "scumbag" in front, and asked closer: "Who is the scumbag?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Xue opened her eyes dazedly, looking at the handsome face so close to her. She stroked it with one hand and said with a smile, "He... is a scumbag, let's not talk about him."

However, Pei Zhijin didn't want to let it go. She remembered that Jiang Xue had mistaken him for someone else when she was drunk last time. Thinking of the time when Jiang Xue had cried for him, he felt very uncomfortable and continued to ask, "Is it the person who hurt you?"

Jiang Xue's eyes were blurry and her expression was slightly stunned. She took a while to react before nodding and then lowering her head.

"Who is he?"

Jiang Xue's heart trembled slightly. She looked up at Pei Zhijin, and her consciousness recovered a little. Then she reached out and hugged Pei Zhijin, and said softly: "I don't want to mention him anymore."

Pei Zhijin felt Jiang Xue hugging him tightly, his expression softened, and he said softly: "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go to sleep."

"Yes." Jiang Xue nodded obediently, and then said, "You accompany me."

Pei Zhijin opened his eyes slightly and said in a daze: "Okay."

Jiang Xue pulled Pei Zhijin to lie down together, hugged Pei Zhijin's arm with one hand, and closed her eyes deeply.

Pei Zhijin listened to Jiang Xue's steady breathing and her rosy face. He pursed his lips slightly and then placed a kiss lightly on Jiang Xue's forehead.

He slowly stroked Jiang Xue's slightly hot face with his hands, his eyes full of tenderness, and whispered: "No one will make you sad from now on."

Outside the room, Lin Yiyi and Wang Ziyan were lying outside the door, secretly looking in. After they saw the two people lying down, there was no movement.

Lin Yiyi stood up suspiciously and looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "Do you think Pei Zhijin is not good enough?"

Wang Ziyan smiled and said, "He was poisoned to begin with. It's normal for him to have no strength."
