In Jiangjiayuan, Ye Chuyan was lying on the bed in a daze, silently.
Bai Zhi kept comforting her: "Princess, you must not take those people's words to heart."
Ye Chuyan said: "Bai Zhi, I have nothing to do. You go find Yan Pei and ask him to tell the prince to come to Jiangjiayuan for dinner in the evening."
In this world, except for her mother and the others who were exiled to the frontier, she had nothing to lose and nothing to care about. She really didn't take what those women said to heart.
Bai Zhi was puzzled, but she did as she was told. She didn't find Yan Xi outside the study. Pei Xiuyan heard the noise and came out to see her. He thought something had happened to Ye Chuyan and immediately frowned and asked.
Bai Zhi bravely told Pei Xiuyan that the princess invited him to have dinner in the evening, and Pei Xiuyan decisively agreed.

In the afternoon, Ye Chuyan was going to the small kitchen of Jiangjiayuan to cook by herself. Bai Zhi felt extremely distressed when she saw Ye Chuyan cooking with one hand. She couldn't dissuade her again and again, so she had to bring other slaves in to help.
The sun sets and night begins to rise.
Ye Chuyan sat in the house and waited quietly for Pei Xiuyan's arrival, and Pei Xiuyan arrived as promised.
His originally cold face suddenly softened after entering Jiangjiayuan.
The warm candles were flickering in the room, and the food was fragrant. Ye Chuyan was sitting at the table, applying makeup and makeup with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, I have personally prepared some side dishes that you like. Please wash your hands and enjoy your meal."
Pei Xiuyan's originally agitated heart suddenly calmed down, and he felt an incredible sense of stability.
Ye Chuyan never cooked in the Ye family. After getting married, she washed her hands and made soup for him. Knowing that he doesn't like ginger and garlic, he will carefully pick out the ginger, garlic and other pungent things in the cooked dishes.
Remember every detail of his taboos. In the past, he only enjoyed a few bites occasionally.
Ever since Ye Chuyan had a miscarriage, she had never cooked for herself again.
Today, when he smelled the aroma of these vegetables again, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and scolded warmly: "Ayan, your hands are injured, why are you cooking by yourself?"
After saying that, he took Ye Chuyan's hand and looked at it. Fortunately, the bandage on it was acceptable and the wound was not touched.
"Don't touch these things again until your injury heals."
Ye Chuyan smiled lightly, "My lord, you sacrificed your life to protect me today, I..."
Pei Xiuyan hugged Ye Chuyan to his chest and sounded a little sad. "Ayan, what are you talking about?"
I just hate that I wasn't good enough to her before, but now I know how to protect her.
He sniffed the back of her neck. Ye Chuyan had an indescribable fragrance that was unlike the vulgar powder smell outside.
He had no feeling for this smell before, but now he smelled it and it was particularly intoxicating.
Why didn't he realize her goodness before? She had done so many things for herself, but she turned a blind eye. Damn it.
Fortunately, after going through so much, she still loved him and stayed by his side.
He was thankful that he had spent several hours planning in the study in the afternoon and finally found a way to deal with Pei Ye.
There is no need to hand over Ye Chuyan, nor be expelled to resist the Japanese, nor give up his power in Kyoto.
Although he now has a way to deal with it, he still has to go to Shiliting in Haishi. He wants to know who the messenger is. How dare you plot against him and seek death!
Ye Chuyan felt that Pei Xiuyan suddenly stopped moving, and the hand around her became tighter and tighter.
She restrained her urge to hit Pei Xiuyan to death, broke away slightly, walked to the table and poured him a glass of wine.
"Your Majesty, I actually have one more thing to ask for today. I want to find a chance to visit my mother and the others."
"I'll accompany you after the beginning of spring." Pei Xiuyan said as he took the wine cup.
Ye Chuyan closed her eyes and thought secretly. Since Pei Xiuyan answered like this, he didn't promise to send him out. He really kept his promise.
Pei Xiuyan thought that Ye Chuyan lowered his head because he was displeased, and explained: "It's too cold now, and it's really inconvenient to travel hard. After the beginning of spring, the weather gets warmer, and it's easier to go out."
Ye Chuyan probed: "My lord, you are so good to me, aren't you afraid that Zhao Yujiao will be angry if he finds out?"
Pei Xiuyan frowned. "It's okay. Jiaojiao has always been sensible and won't get angry."
"My lord, do you like Zhao Yujiao to be sensible or is it because Zhao Yujiao saved your life?"
Ye Chuyan asked with a half-smile.
After Pei Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, feeling a little happy in his heart. Ye Chuyan really loved him, and she would still go out for Zhao Yujiao.
He saw the complicated looks in the eyes of people at the palace banquet yesterday when they looked at Ye Chuyan, and when Ye Chuyan was insulted by others, his overwhelming anger and strong possessiveness almost engulfed him.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that his feelings for Zhao Yujiao seemed to have never been so strong.
He treated Zhao Yujiao like a delicate jade object.
He was grateful for her life-saving grace and wanted to protect her and take care of her, but when he was alone with her, he could never think of anything between a man and a woman.
He thought for a moment and whispered: "I was bitten by a poisonous snake. When I woke up, I first saw Jiaojiao crying next to me. She was as fragile as a begonia beaten by the rain. I don't know how much courage she used. Drag me out of the woods and risk your life to help me find the antidote."
"Ayan, I don't have to marry her, but her life-saving grace must be repaid. If you really don't like it, I will..."
Ye Chuyan sneered and said, "My lord, please don't embarrass me. Let's discuss this later."
Since Pei Xiuyan's feelings for Zhao Yujiao originated from that life-saving grace, then Pei Xiuyan will never know the truth.
Wait until you go to hell with him before you tell him everything. When the time comes, his expression will definitely be wonderful.
The two of them stopped mentioning the topic, and the meal went smoothly.
During this period, Pei Xiuyan told Ye Chuyan that Mrs. Ye had settled in well. Although it was freezing in Ninggu Pagoda, the exiled life of the Ye family's female relatives was going smoothly.
He also agreed that Ye Chuyan would write to Mrs. Ye every month.
After eating, Ye Chuyan was originally worried that Pei Xiuyan would stay in Jiangjiayuan, but he didn't expect that Pei Xiuyan asked her to rest early because her hand was still injured, and he left in a hurry.
When Haishi heard that Pei Xiuyan had left the house with Yan Pei, Ye Chuyan touched Bai Zhi's sleeping point, put on black clothes, and jumped into Zhao Yujiao's house.
Zhao Yujiao was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard someone saying in her ear: "Zhao Yujiao, you have done so many evil things, how can you sleep?"
Zhao Yujiao saw a man in black standing beside the bed in a trance, and was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
Just as she was about to call someone, the man in black touched her vocal point and said coldly: "Zhao Yujiao, see clearly who I am."
Ye Chuyan lifted the veil, and Zhao Yujiao used the weak candlelight to see clearly that the person coming was Ye Chuyan.
For a moment, a terrible thought rushed into her mind.
Ye Chuyan discovered the truth about the Xuanyou Palace incident and came to kill him to vent his anger!
When Zhao Yujiao thought of this, her usually charming eyes were filled with horror.
Ye Chuyan didn't know what Zhao Yujiao was thinking, but looked down at the lying Zhao Yujiao with a voice as cold as ice.
"Zhao Yujiao, today I remembered what happened before falling off the cliff in the military camp when I was a child. I also remembered the look in your eyes when you pushed me off the cliff that day, with a hint of madness and pride."
Zhao Yujiao's face instantly turned pale.
