Chapter Thirty-one
The revelation was caught off guard. Pei Shu looked calm on the surface, but in her heart she wanted to fight for the ground. She laughed awkwardly and said: "It's a false rumor."
It is really shameful to go behind the back of an old enemy and praise someone to the sky, and then introduce yourself as a confidant, and then be exposed in person.
Even if she decided to fight to death and refuse to admit it, she would not be dragged into confronting the emperor.
After simply denying it, Pei Shu adopted the strategy of "silence is golden". When she was flustered, she said too much and made many mistakes.
Xie Xian's eyes passed over her face and he said in a calm tone: "Your panic now is exactly the same as when you stabbed me with a sword in Lushan."
Pei Shu's first reaction was that she really did remember grudges!
After that, the hairs on her hair stood on end, and she didn't even have to hold the mirror to look at herself. She bet that the expression on her face had never changed. How on earth could she tell that she was panicking?
This ability to see into people's hearts is so frighteningly sharp that it makes her so unguarded.
"I was young and energetic at that time, and I accidentally hurt you. I have felt deeply guilty for a long time, and I often regretted it in the dead of night, "I regret that I didn't stab you to death with a sword.
Xie Xian said calmly: "Since you feel guilty, how do you plan to make amends?"
Pei Shu was stunned. She didn't know for a moment whether she was digging a hole for herself, or whether he had dug a hole in advance and was waiting for her to jump down.
Her mind was spinning a thousand times in an instant. If she could be clear about it, she wanted to hand him the sword right now and let him stab it back to end it neatly.
It's better than frying her slowly like this.
However...impossible!
Pei Shu knew him very well, probably to a certain degree.
He is very arbitrary and arbitrary. You don't have to do whatever you want, you have to do it completely according to his wishes.
When encountering predators from ferocious beasts, the only way to delay death is to pretend to be dead and show weakness. The more fierce the resistance, the faster the death.
Pei Shu forcibly removed the resistance and defense in her heart, tilted her head slightly a few degrees, revealing a fair and fragile neck, and looked up at him with clear and moist eyes.
Make yourself look harmless and weak,
"Mr. Xie, why don't you make it clear, how can I redeem my merits?" I have repaid the troubles I caused due to my youthful impulsiveness, and I have completely drawn a clear line from now on.
The girl has a magnificent appearance, beautiful eyebrows, and natural jade. She can not only maintain the demeanor of taking things lightly, but also control the publicity that is seductive but not coquettish. She can also show weakness by lowering her posture.
It's the same thing as pretending to be.
However, at heart he is a little fox, cunning and flexible.
Xie Xian couldn't help but wonder, does he look like someone who does this?
"Is this..." After pondering for a while, Xie Xian took half a step forward, his slender and straight body covering a shadow area, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes roamed around Pei Shu's face. He smiled and said slowly: "I haven't thought about it yet.
good."
Can you speak without gasping for breath? Pei Shu, who was waiting for the verdict, had the urge to blow his head off.
Dog men know how to torture a person mentally.
"In this case... I will wait for Mr. Xie's reply." Pei Shu tugged her lips, gave a slightly stiff smile, turned around and strode towards the East Palace.
Fortunately, I was wearing a robe, otherwise at this speed, the hem of my skirt would have flown up.
Behind him, Xie Xian showed no signs of hurry or hurry, always staying a few steps away.
The legs are so long! Why is this Taoist cultivator so long? Pei Shu rubbed the little tiger teeth on her upper jaw hard.
Qingyue's voice later commented: "My ability to confuse people with illusions is acceptable, but I lack endurance and need to practice."
You just pretended for a while, and then you fell out with me.
Pei Shuhehe, it shows that my character is still there.
His feet were two minutes faster.
Unexpectedly, the ghost of the debt collector is still there: "Auntie is afraid of me?"
Is he some kind of scourge?
It's so unavoidable.
Yes, yes, I'm afraid, I'm scared to death of you, Pei Shu said angrily: "How could it be possible? Mr. Xie is noble, graceful, and upright, and it's too late for me to admire you."
Xie Xian's style always makes people think of the male lions on the grassland. They will deliberately release scent before hunting. The cautious prey will be frightened and flee towards the downwind at will, where they have set up their traps early.
Alright, ambush.
This association made Pei Shu feel very uncomfortable. No one would like to be a prey being chased and teased.
She spoke with a gun and a stick, but he was not affected at all. He walked leisurely like a gentleman, looking at ease and contentedly: "I never thought that Ayu would think so highly of me."
"..." Pei Shute wanted to turn around and choke him with saliva.
Fortunately, the East Palace is close.
In Tianlu Pavilion of the East Palace, the seven-year-old prince was sitting upright on the throne.
The little man sitting upright, look carefully, his legs are dangling slightly in the air.
When he saw Pei Shu, the little prince's eyes lit up like black grapes. He climbed off the chair on both hands and feet and stood in front of Pei Shu. With his chest straightened, he folded his hands and bent down to salute: "Qi Yuan greets you, sir."
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible prince, Pei Shu felt a little relieved from her depression.
Xie Xian came walking closely after him, stood in the palace and bowed slightly: "I, Xie Xian, have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
An extra person appeared out of thin air, and the little prince blinked blankly.
Pei Shu smiled and explained his doubts: "The main task of my daughter is to cultivate His Highness's sentiments. But Mr. Xie is different. He shoulders the important responsibility and is responsible for teaching His Highness the art of governing the country."
The clear meaning is like the golden crow in the sky.
If a prince of a country worships a woman as his disciple, he is bound to face overwhelming opposition. The emperor wants to cook his courtiers slowly, so he has not yet officially become his disciple. Now Pei Shu is just serving as a temporary lecturer.
It would be most appropriate for Xie Xian to be given the title of Young Master in the future. He has a teacher-student relationship with the prince. How will he deal with himself in the future? Will he be able to confront the little emperor unscrupulously?
If he continues to behave as he did in his previous life, he will undoubtedly be infamy.
Thinking of the joy, Pei Shu gloated and almost laughed out loud.
From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of her suppressing a smile, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in Xie Xian's calm eyes.
Although she is a noble queen of a palace, she is still limited by her status as a woman and cannot serve as an official in the court. The title of Crown Prince and Young Master is of great benefit to her, so why should she reject it?
If it weren't for Xie Xian, a powerful minister, and her father who was holding her back, the advantages of her being the official of the Eastern Palace would indeed outweigh the disadvantages.
Pei Shu resisted for two reasons:
First, he is unwilling to stand on the opposite side of Xie Xian;
Secondly, Pei Kunliang will be charged with the crime of treason sooner or later, and it is an irrefutable fact that she came from the Duke's palace. These will become the handle for political enemies to criticize her and the little emperor.
At that time, should the little emperor deal with her or not?
In addition, she has another dilemma that needs to be solved urgently, which is to perfectly remove herself before Pei Kunliang rebels.
Better sooner rather than later.
The two adults have their own thoughts, and the young prince also has his own little calculation. Xie Shilang has met him several times in Zichen Palace.
When you think about a gentleman, you warm him like jade.
The speech also sounds pleasant, like the sound of jade, clear and magnetic.
