Chapter 106：

After bypassing a twelve-panel agarwood-carved Ruyi screen, Tao Ti slowly walked in under the guidance of the little eunuch.

Originally, she still had a gentle smile on her face. When she saw Xu Wenhe who was sitting across from Pei Yan, her smile froze, and her already round eyes opened wider.

She blinked and confirmed that the person in front of her was really the old man of the medicine farmer in Taoyuan Village, Luoyang, and said in amazement, "Old man Xu, why are you?"

Xu Wenhe and Shi Shiran got up and paid respectful respects to Tao Ti, "Cao Min pays homage to the princess, and the princess Jinan Wanfu."

Tao Ti quickly said, "You don't have to be polite."

Xu Wenhe stood up straight and smiled kindly at her, "I haven't seen you in a few months, how is everything going for the princess?"

Tao Ti nodded, "Everything is fine. But Old Man Xu, how come you are the genius Doctor Xu? By the way, you have come to Chang'an, and how about Brother Hao, he is here too?"

"Brother Hao is here, too, and I'm living in Xianliang Hall at the moment." Xu Wenhe stroked his beard, "As for why I am Xu Wenhe...The bottom of my heart is that the old man wants to be a medical farmer Xu Wenhe, but His Majesty wants me to be Xu Wenhe. , I can only be Xu Wenhe."

Could it be Wang Tu in the whole world, no matter how incognito he was, as long as he was still in the land of the Great Abyss, he could not hide, not to mention that he had a little grandson.

Anyway, I have dealt with the prince before. As long as the prince cooperates, Xu Wenhe does not seek fame and fortune, but just retreat.

Seeing Tao Ti and Xu Wenhe recounting the old, as if completely forgetting that there is such a person as himself, Pei Yan raised his hand to his lips and coughed slightly.

Tao Ti looked at Pei Yan and said coldly, "His Royal Highness, if you have an itchy throat, drink some warm water."

Pei Yan heard her little emotion and asked, "Ati, why are you here?"

Tao Ti walked to the Crescent Stool and sat down, leaning towards Pei Yan, "I heard that the genius has come to the East Palace, and I want to hear the diagnosis of your highness by the genius."

After that, she asked Xu Wenhe with a look of concern, "Old Uncle Xu, how is your Royal Highness's health? Can I take care of it?"

Xu Wenhe didn't answer immediately, but looked up at Pei Yan, saying, "Should the old man tell the truth, or accompany you to lie to your wife?".

Pei Yan: ...you have already exposed everything when you look at Gu.

Pei Yan rubbed his eyebrows, and said lightly, "Mr. Xu, you are struggling, go back to the post house and rest. Gu talk to the princess."

Xu Wenhe knew that he was about to confess, he liked to hear it, and bowed his hand, "Yes, the old man will not disturb the prince and the princess, and leave first."

Tao Ti looked at the two people's eyebrow lawsuit and was even more certain: Pei Yan made it clear that he was not sick! ! !

Thinking back to her previous worries about his body, and stupidly comforting him so many times, her heart was slightly blocked.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xu Wenhe was about to leave.

Tao Ti stopped him and said with a smile, "Old man Xu, you are a coincidence. I made a fresh meal today. You can bring it back and eat with Brother Hao."

Xu Wenhe was stunned, thinking of the princess's craftsmanship, tsk, last time after she left, the grandfather and grandson both had no taste of meat. He was greedy, but he still said politely, "This is specially prepared by the prince concubine for the prince. It is not appropriate for the old man to take it back."

Tao Ti said, "Appropriate, very appropriate. You and Brother Hao first came to Chang'an. We are the host, so we should take good care of it. Besides..."

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Pei Yan, "His Royal Highness has an itchy throat. It may be because of the cold. It is not suitable to eat this kind of heavy oil and spicy food."

Xu Wenhe, "The old man would be more respectful than his fate. Thank you, the princess for giving food."

The young couple was awkward, but let him take advantage of the old man. He carried a food box and retired happily.

How could Pei Yan not see that the little girl was angry, and didn't even give him food.

He withdrew all the palace people in the palace, got up slowly, walked to Tao Ti, and whispered, "Ati?"

Tao Ti twisted her face, "Huh!"

Seeing her puffed little bun's face, Pei Yan was helpless and funny. He stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, bent over, and lowered his eyes and said, "Really ignore me?"

Tao Ti pursed her lips, still not looking at him.

The little girl has a big temper.

Pei Yan bent her lips, squatted in front of her, held her hand on his face, and coaxed in a low voice, "I know Ati is the most reasonable. Give me a chance to explain?"

His voice is low and mellow, and his beautiful peach eyes have a sincere and gentle expression, as if a moonlight melted into his eyes, sparkling.

Such a beautiful and delicate face, such a gentle voice, no matter how big the temper is, it instantly disappeared by more than half.

Tao Ti understood the phrase "As long as the villain looks good, Sanguan runs with the five senses", she is planted in his hands!

She hated herself for being uncomfortable, and muttered awkwardly, "Then explain. If you don't explain well, I won't give you any more delicious food in the future!"

Pei Yan smiled deeply and led her to get up, "Go, go and sit on the couch."

Tao Ti sat on the couch with him.

Pei Yan wanted to hold her shoulders and was slapped away by her, staring, "You haven't explained clearly, don't move your hands."

Pei Yan replied with a good voice, grabbed a smile, and carefully explained, "I am indeed not ill. Any sickness, and the fate that Qin Tianjian asserted shortly before, are all false."

Tao Ti frowned. At first she knew that it was being concealed. She was still a little bit angry, but she calmly thought about it. He not only concealed her, but also the whole world, so the anger in his heart was less.

Thinking that he had been "sick" since he was five years old, Tao Ti raised his small face, dark eyes fixedly looking at him, and said in doubt, "You have concealed so many people, even your Majesty has concealed it, and even concealed it. So long... why are you doing this?"

Pei Yan tugged at the corner of his mouth, and turned the white jade finger on his thumb casually. The eyelashes drooped just right to cover the indifference in his eyes, "In order to survive."

His answer caused Tao Ti to choke for a while.

She looked at his clear side face, and light golden sunlight cast from the window, illuminating his slender eyelashes clearly.

Obviously he looked plain, but her heart was inexplicably pulled, a little uncomfortable.

Pursing her lips, she tentatively asked, "Someone wants to harm you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Queen Zhou and Pei Changzhou appeared in her mind.

Pei Yan said calmly, "I fell into the water when I was five years old. It was not an accident, but someone pushed me down."

Tao Ti stared at him nervously, "Who is so courageous to murder the prince? Do you see that person's face?"

Pei Yan nodded and said, "It's a maid waiting beside me."

"Lady? Why did she harm you?"

"She left a farewell letter, saying that my mother's queen scolded her, so she cherished her grudges and deliberately retaliated. After I woke up, she had jumped into the well and died... My father was furious and cut her a thousand swords and lost her. I went to the mass grave to feed the dogs. Later, I felt that it was not enough, and I punish the nine families of the court lady."

Tao Ti was silent, this was what Emperor Zhaokang could do.

"Since the palace maid is dead, why do you continue to pretend to be sick?" Tao Ti felt that if Pei Yan is healthy, Pei Changzhou and Queen Zhou would not be so proud, with the throne in their hands.

"Little fool."

Pei Yan bends her fingers and taps her forehead, "The palace lady is just a substitute for the dead, and there is someone else who really can't tolerate me."

"Queen Zhou?"

Pei Yan's eyes flickered, not to be precise, only to say, "Not only her, but other women in the harem who have children, have reasons to hate me."

Tao Ti also understood a bit at this time that in a place like the harem, a five-year-old child could only use this method to protect himself, so that others would lower his intention to kill him.

As Tao Ti, who grew up with the love of her parents and family, when she thought of Pei Yan's life when she was a child, she was trembling and cautious, and her heart felt sour.

She held Pei Yan's hand and whispered, "His Royal Highness suffered a lot when I was young, right?"

Pei Yan said indifferently, "Those are all gone."

Tao Ti didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you."

Looking at her petite and thin shoulders, Pei Yan smiled dumbly, took her shoulders, and hugged her directly in his arms.

He is tall and tall, like a big quilt, covering Tao Ti tightly, and his whole person is enveloped by his clear and good smell.

Pei Yan's jaw was pressed against her forehead, her slender fingers hooked up a strand of her hair, and she seemed to mutter to herself, "I used to think I couldn't stand it any longer, so I would go to read "Mencius": So the heavens will come down to great responsibility. A person must first suffer from his mind, his muscles and bones, his body hungry, his body emptied, and his behavior is disturbing his behavior, so he is tempted to endure what he cannot.[1]

Reading it once is not enough, just read it a hundred times, one thousand times, ten thousand times, and gradually, it also survived. "

Tao Ti relaxed and leaned in his arms, feeling a little embarrassed, "When you are uncomfortable, I study, and when I am uncomfortable, I eat. If one meal is not enough, I will eat two or three meals..."

Pei Yan bent her eyes and pinched her slender waist with warm palms, "Eat so much every day, but I haven't seen you fat."

Tao Ti was a little itchy by him, hiding and laughing, "I can't eat fat."

Pei Yan did not continue teasing her. She adjusted her angle and nestled in his arms again, curiously saying, "His Royal Highness, then you pretend to be sick for so long, and no one in the hospital can see you pretending to be sick? And you do it every day. Taking medicine is three-point poison. Aren't you afraid of hurting your body..."

"My uncle found a medicine for me. I took it daily, which can make the pulse weak. And I am the prince, and I said I was unwell. It hurts the root, the body is weak and the qi is weak."

The people in the hospital knew exactly what temper Zhaokang was. If they dare to say that the prince is in good health, Emperor Zhaokang will only treat them as shallow and incompetent, and take off their black hat and head.

"But didn't Gu's family go to the Northland?"

"My uncle has secretly sent someone to protect me."

"Is it a dark guard? Or some mysterious martial arts master?" Tao Ti suddenly became interested.

Pei Yanqian smiled and said, "If you have a chance, I will show you to him."

Next, Tao Ti nestled in his arms and listened to him telling a lot about the past.

Speaking of later, Tao Ti was completely out of anger about the fact that he pretended to be weak, but felt that her relatives were too pitiful, and had suffered so much from snacks.

She put her arms around his waist, buried her face in his arms, and said distressedly, "I will be with you in the future, whoever bullies you, I beat anyone."

Pei Yan warmed his heart and hugged her soft body, with a soft voice, "Just stay with me."

He is no longer the fragile child who can only survive by pretending to be sick and weak, and he has enough strength for these years of painstaking efforts.

Since he was sure to let Xu Wenhe enter the Eastern Palace, and no longer pretended to be weak, he was confident that he would wipe out all the obstructive people and things, so that others would not dare to covet the crown prince.

And she, as long as she accompanies him obediently.

...

The nectar palace.

"Wow!" There was a sharp sound of the cup falling to the ground.

The maid of the palace quietly cleaned up the broken tiles on the ground. Empress Zhou was sitting on the red sandalwood carved back chair with a pale face, her slender fingers squeezed the armrest tightly, and the violent veins on the back of her hand showed her anger at the moment.

Xu Wenhe found it and entered the East Palace. His Majesty kept the news so tight!

Hearing that Xu Wenhe looked happy when he came out of the East Palace, which shows that he has great confidence in curing Pei Yan's body.

If Pei Yan is really cured and the Gu family returns to Chang'an, would their Zhou family still have a foothold?

The more Empress Zhou thought about it, the heavier her mood became, her long eyebrows were tightly twisted, and she was silent for a long time. She slowly raised her head and called the grand palace girl next to her.

"I haven't seen my mother's family for more than a month in this palace. You can tell the palace to ask Mrs. Zuo to enter the palace tomorrow."

The grand palace lady promised and went on to pass the order.
