"Your Royal Highness, the Pei Jia Stronghold from the Pei Jia Stronghold is here to pay a visit!"
The cold sweat trickled down the goatskin scroll in his hand, he raised his hand and rubbed his glabella, then frowned as he looked at Xiao Fangzi and asked, "What is he doing?"
"Your subordinate doesn't know." Xiao Fangzi respectfully lowered his head.
"Let him rest in the antechamber for a while, and I'll be there in a moment." Ming Liehan rubbed his eyebrows again.
"Yes." Xiao Fangzi nodded his head and turned, walking out quickly.
Pei Luoxuan sat in the front hall and drank his tea. Not long after, he saw Ming Liehan walking out from the back.
"Long time no see. Is the prince well?" Pei Luoxuan stood up and politely cupped his fists.
"Why did the Young Master Pei come here today?" Ming Liehan sat on top and went straight to the point.
"Heh …" Pei Luoxuan did not mind, and went back to his seat, "Your highness does not seem to be in a good mood!"
"If you have anything to say, say it directly." Ming Liehan frowned, her eyes filled with exhaustion.
When he woke up in the middle of the night, it was in his dreams that he saw Luoluo pathetically walking around the streets without a single person to rely on. She was even sick, but he did not manage to make it over.
"All right." Pei Luoxuan opened his mouth slightly: "I came today to ask Your Highness if you still have enough clothes for your wife? "Seeing the weather turn cold, should we order more?"
"For the time being." Ming Liehan's face darkened, even the Luoluo was not in the Duke's Palace, so even if she brought some clothes over, it would just be in front of the decorations, which would only add to her worries.
"Heh …" Pei Luoxuan smirked. "Could it be that the wangfei isn't here?"
Ming Liehan's hands stiffened as she turned to glare at Pei Luoxuan. "When did Young Master Pei like to take care of this king's family affairs?"
"I'm just curious, is there a need for your highness to care so much?" Pei Luoxuan stood up and cupped his fists again. "It's just that the last time I came to measure Princess Hua-Yang's body, I seem to have heard that Princess Hua-Yang is pregnant. "If my clothes are too tight, I can have someone make some new clothes for my wife."
Ming Liehan frowned, she had a nagging feeling that Pei Luoxuan was hinting at something from his words, hence he looked straight into's eyes in fear.
"How much do you know?"
He had already sealed off the news and told them not to spread the news of the Princess's disappearance. Could it be that Pei Luoxuan had already reached such a level that only the dead knew about him?
"I do not understand the meaning of your words." Pei Luoxuan chuckled as he opened up the fan and waved it twice in front of his chest, "Prince Chilling Cold Mansion is a big customer, and the Duke knows that I am a businessman. The safety of the customer, or whatever it is, must be something that I should pay attention to. Since the prince has said that the princess consort is fine, then I naturally feel at ease. "However, Pei Jia Village received many different goods. Perhaps the Prince will have some free time to take a look around."
Ming Liehan stared coldly at Pei Luoxuan for a while before smiling faintly, "Okay."
"Then, I will take my leave." Pei Luoxuan kept his fan and gently tapped it on his hand.
"Xiao Fangzi, send the Young Master Pei out." Ming Han stood up.
"There's no need!" Pei Luoxuan sneered, turned his head to look at the expression in Ming Liehan's eyes and strode out of the Duke Palace.
Just then, Ming Xianchen coincidentally walked in and turned his head to see the cheap jade hairpin that Pei Luoxuan held tightly in his hand.
"Wait a minute." Ming Xianchen called out to Pei Luoxuan.
Pei Luoxuan was stunned, "The Dust Prince?"
Ming Xianchen looked at Pei Luoxuan coldly, then turned his head to glance at the figure of Ming Liehan who had already left the front hall. Only then did he suddenly pull Pei Luoxuan's arm and walked out.
"Your Highness, this is …?" Pei Luoxuan frowned as he watched Ming Xianchen tightly grip his arm. Suddenly, he adjusted Kai and said with a faint smile, "Could it be that Your Highness also has this kind of hobby?"
After walking outside the Duke Palace, Ming Xianchen finally let go of Pei Luoxuan's arm and turned around to look at him with an ice-cold gaze.
"Is she really in Pei Jia Stronghold?"
"I really don't understand what you mean." Pei Luoxuan also sneered.
"Stop pretending, is the princess with you?" "That day, was that servant her?" Ming Xianchen looked at him coldly.
"Who is the prince talking about?" Pei Luoxuan looked at him coldly.
"Luoluo Su!" Ming Xianchen clenched his teeth, his dead face turned even colder.
Pei Luoxuan was shocked, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ming Xianchen for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "I truly did not know that our Ming Ri Dynasty's Grand Princess would actually come to our Pei Jia Stronghold! "If she were to really go, I would welcome his with open arms. I will definitely not disrespect the princess!"
Ming Xianchen suddenly looked at Pei Luoxuan's hand. "Where did you get that hairpin?"
Pei Luoxuan stopped and raised his hand, lifting up the thing that he found in Luoluo's bag that morning. He originally wanted to ask Ming Liehan about it, but he did not manage to do so.
"Well …." "Yeah, there's some on the street!" Pei Luoxuan played with the jade hairpin in his hand. "Could it be that the Royal Concubine will use such a cheap item?"
Ming Xianchen did not say a word, and squinted his eyes.
"If Luoluo Su is with you, I advise you to immediately hand her over to the Cloud Mist King Manor. Otherwise, I, Pei Luoxuan, will not be able to protect you!"
"Ha!" "Pei Luoxuan suddenly laughed coldly," "Why would I need the protection of the King's Manor?"
With that, she turned and ignored Ming Xianchen's cold eyes, and left in big strides.
He just did not want to get involved with Ming Xianchen anymore.
Luoluo? Luoluo Su … So she was really Princess Gabriella!
Ten days later …
Luoluo walked back and forth in the Luoyuan, staring at the fragrance in the garden.
That day, Pei Luoxuan suddenly disappeared and didn't return to the Pei Jia Stronghold for a dozen days, and there was a group of people guarding outside the Luoyuan, saying that she could not leave the casually, and even more so, could not leave the Luoyuan casually.
Pei Luoxuan returned, a little drunk. Just as he walked to the entrance of the Luoyuan, he saw that the Luoluo was standing amidst the flowers in a daze.
Pei Luoxuan frowned, he did not know how to call her.
Ever since he had returned from the Duke Palaces that day, he didn't take another step into the Luoyuan. He let the Luoluo be there by himself and sent his servant girls to take good care of her.
The Luoluo was the Luoluo Su, the wangfei that Ming Liehan doted on the most. She was the woman who had carelessly walked out and made a ruckus with him while wearing only a set of clothes and a veil!
"Why is it you …." Pei Luoxuan tiredly leaned against the side of Luoyuan's door, looking at Luoluo who was standing there in a daze. "Why are you Princess Gabriella …"
As if he felt Pei Luoxuan's gaze, the Luoluo turned around in fear and looked at the man who was leaning against the wall of the Luoyuan, staring at him.
"Roar!" I thought you really disappeared! " The Luoluo puffed her face up and walked out of the garden quickly, wanting to walk in front of Pei Luoxuan.
Pei Luoxuan suddenly turned and was about to leave.
"Stop right there!" Luoluo shouted loudly. Her stomach swelled up again, and she simply didn't dare run. All she could do was yell once, and then quickly walk in Pei Luoxuan's direction.
Pei Luoxuan stopped and clenched his fists.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Luoluo stepped forward, stood behind Pei Luoxuan, and looked at him in puzzlement: "I'm not a ghost! "Why do you not show up for more than ten days and try to run away as soon as you do?"
Pei Luoxuan closed his eyes and suddenly turned his head, his entire body reeking of alcohol, entering Luoluo's nose. Luoluo was startled, she retreated a step and suddenly felt that Pei Luoxuan's eyes were dangerous.
"Why did you even conceal your identity?" Pei Luoxuan frowned.
"Ah?" Luoluo looked at him in puzzlement.
"Why would you hide it from me?" Pei Luoxuan took a step forward, and suddenly grabbed onto Luoluo's hand. "Why didn't you tell me you were Luoluo Su! "You are Princess Gabriella?"
Luoluo instantly opened her mouth wide in shock. She was so terrified that she wanted to retreat, but who knew that Pei Luoxuan's big hands would suddenly hold tightly onto her waist. She looked at her with furrowed brows. "Your Highness!"
"No!" "I …" Luoluo's eyes were filled with shock, she raised her hand to push him away.
Who knew that Pei Luoxuan wouldn't let her hide even the slightest bit. "Or, do you think that I, Pei Luoxuan, would be so easily deceived? You actually brought your noble princess, the great princess, to my Pei Jia Stronghold as your servant! "
"No …." Pei Luoxuan, listen to me … "I, I didn't mean to hide it from you …" It's over, it's all over! As expected, he found out! Luoluo sighed in his heart, his face full of sadness. "Don't be like this …"
"I'm really stupid, stupid, I was played around by a woman like you!" "In the end, even my heart ended up with you, but in the end, you still hid something from me. You're even the dignified Grand Princess!"
"No, none of this is important …" "I just …"
"Trying to explain?" Pei Luoxuan fiercely grabbed onto Luoluo's arm: "Alright, I'll listen to your explanation!" As he said that, he suddenly held Luoluo's waist tightly and walked into the pavilion.
"Pei Luoxuan!" "Let me go!" Luoluo shouted, twisting his arm with all his might.
Finally, Pei Luoxuan released his hand and threw Luoluo onto the bed. He looked at her coldly: "Explain! Explain your deception of concealment! "
"No …." "I …" Luoluo sat up, looking somewhat embarrassedly at him: "I'm sorry, but I just can't say it myself. I … "When I ran away from the manor, they had been looking for me. That place was waiting for me because I didn't believe you. I was afraid that if you knew my identity, you would just ignore me, or just hand me over …"
"You are a princess, who dares to do anything to you?" Pei Luoxuan frowned.
"Yeah, I'm a princess …" I don't dare to return to the Imperial Palace because Ming Liehan will definitely be able to find me there. I don't want to see him again, I want to leave … "That's why I …"
Pei Luoxuan's anger had subsided. Seeing Luoluo's pitiful look, he slowly walked to the bedside and gently pulled her arm. "What's wrong with you, Ming Liehan? Why do you want to leave him? Even if he had... "His children …"
