Chapter 146 I planned to give you a good time, but you scared her today
Pei Zhi's expression froze for a moment, suspecting that he had heard wrongly. It was not until he saw the person in his arms lowering his head and her earlobes turning red that he was convinced of what she had said.
His throat was so tight that he could only utter one word in the end.
"it is good."
After dinner, Yu Tingwan suddenly felt sleepy after taking a bath. As soon as he lay on the couch, he saw Pei Zhi planning to go out.
"Wanwan, don't wait for me." He paused, "My son should be back before now."
Before he left, he asked his maid to extinguish all the lights in the inner room. The bed curtains were hung down, and even the moonlight was completely covered.
Yu Tingwan felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she seemed to hear someone calling her while she was half asleep.
"Wanwan, if you don't like Yanzhou cuisine..."
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked around. It was evident that they were having a banquet. Her lips trembled as she glanced at the man beside her, and over his shoulder she saw Wan Hou.
Yu Tingwan was immediately frightened, but the man next to her looked gentle, as if he couldn't sense her emotions, and he finished his words.
Everything after that was no different from what he remembered. He was covered in Pei Zhi's blood and was pinned under him, unable to move. When he opened his eyes again, it was during the banquet again.
"Late night..."
She looked down at her clean dress and tried to interrupt him: "Your Majesty, I want to go back."
He couldn't hear her at all, it was like there was a wall between him and her. No matter what she said, the end result would be the same.
There was blood on her clothes and it was sticky on her body.
In the end, Yu Tingwan realized that this was a dream. The moment he opened his eyes, he picked up the knife for cutting the mutton and slashed his wrist. Blood spattered three feet without any pain.
The scene in front of him did not change. The man beside him remained unresponsive, and there was no trace of blood at all.
Until Pei Ke's dagger plunged into his shoulder again, she returned to the feast.
The blood color in front of his eyes had not dissipated yet, Yu Tingwan couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply stood up and planned to leave.
"Wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you."
Finally, she said something different, and she couldn't help but choked up: "I want to go back."
Her sanity was on the verge of collapse. She felt someone patting the back of her hand, and her vision gradually blurred and distorted. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Ruyi holding a candle, lifting the bed curtains and calling her.
"The slave heard the sound and guessed that the princess must have had a nightmare."
Yu Tingwan opened her eyes wide and looked at Ruyi. She suddenly took the candle and burned a drop of candle oil on the back of her hand. After a burst of pain, her expression finally stopped being tense.
Ruyi looked stunned. Half of her face was disfigured and she did not want to show her face during the sacrifice. Unexpectedly, one day, the princess came back as if she had lost her soul.
"Ruyi, what time is it now?"
"Just after Xu time."
Yu Tingwan was silent. She had only slept for less than half an hour.
Ruyi lit the lights in the inner room one by one and asked in a low voice: "Princess, what happened during today's sacrifice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tingwan remembered the situation repeated over and over again in her dream. She hugged the girl in front of her and nodded silently while suppressing her cries.
When she finally calmed down, she lay down and forced herself to close her eyes, falling into a drowsy sleep.

The smell of blood had not been so strong in the dungeon for a long time. Pei Jing was so angry that he cursed loudly and couldn't help but repeat all the dirty words used in the army.
"Pei Jing, it's not worth it to work for this kind of person."
King Wei's voice came, and there was a sudden silence in the dungeon. Pei Jing turned around and said guiltily: "Eldest brother, it's my incompetence. He didn't say a word, and he wanted to see you life and death."
Pei Zhi's eyes moved towards the man on the torture instrument, two chains passed through his bones.
"Who is the person behind you?" Pei Zhi glanced at the red copper iron in the charcoal basin, and asked amidst Pei Ke's screams: "Why did you attack the princess? Which enemy of Pingyang Marquis is it?"
"No, there is no one behind me." The man on the wall spat out blood, "I wanted to kill myself. I have endured it for more than thirty years, just for today."
"Pei Ke, a dying person can suffer less if he tells the truth." Pei Zhi obviously had no patience, and there was a vague anger in his eyes.
"It's all the truth." Pei Ke turned into a bloody man and laughed sarcastically, "I have no enmity with the princess, so why should I kill her?"
Pei Ke swallowed the blood that welled up in his throat, "Aim the dagger at her, so I have a chance to hurt you."
Pei Zhi's expression finally changed, and he took half a step forward, his clean clothes splattered with blood, "It's stupid to bet everything just on an uncertain possibility."
Pei Ke couldn't stand the condescending look of King Wei the most. Just as he was about to say something, he was kicked by Pei Jing.
This kick was aimed at the wound, obviously with great hatred.
"Father should not have spared your life in the first place." Pei Jing gritted his teeth: "I should not have handed you that sword a few days ago. I should have killed you directly."
At worst, it would be better for him to be infamous than for his eldest brother to be assassinated.
At the mention of this matter, the man whose body was pierced by the iron chain suddenly became excited and started to curse and utter obscene words.
"Shut up, I have never forced you to kill anyone. It was your choice." Pei Jing sneered, "When you killed yourself with that sword, I will never touch your wife and children."
"Killing myself? How can I kill myself? There is nothing in the world that I can't let go of." Pei Ke murmured: "So what if I kill my wife or my children, they will understand my difficulties."
King Wei finally raised his eyes and glanced at the person on the torture instrument, his face calm and calm.
Pei Ke's face was covered in blood, and he pulled down the corner of his mouth. He had been waiting for King Wei to be angered and ask him how he had planned it all these years. In this way, he could vent all the dissatisfaction he had endured for all these years before he died.
Unexpectedly, after the man in purple clothes in front of him knew that no one wanted to harm the princess, his overflowing anger also restrained, and he remained the same as before, as if even giving her a look was unnecessary.
"King Wei, don't you want to know why the Cartilage Powder is useless?" Pei Ke actually felt a little unwilling. He listened to his mother's hatred in his ears and drank the medicine in his mouth. He is useless.
He thought that after working hard for thirty years, even if he failed, he would at least get a chance to speak on an equal footing with his enemies.
"I'm not interested." King Wei glanced at Pei Ke, as if he had thought of something, "I planned to give you a pleasure, but you scared her today."
"There's no need to interrogate anymore, just cut them into pieces." Pei Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the blood on his clothes. He thought of something and left the dungeon. He didn't ask until he passed through the long corridor and paved the way with the cool night breeze. : "Is the smell of blood on Gu's body a little heavier?"
Pei Jing came forward and smelled it, then raised his sleeve and smelled his own, nodded and said: "It's not bad, it's much lighter than when I was in Youzhou."
Marquis Boping rushed to Fufeng County in a hurry. Pei Ke's mother's clan and his wife's clan were both Fufeng noble clans. He remembered his eldest brother's instructions and asked: "Eldest brother, do you want to do it directly or interrogate first?"
"No need, the nights are long and there are many dreams." Pei Zhi paused, "Remember to root out the weeds."
"Then use the method we used in Youzhou." Pei Jing understood clearly, followed the genealogy to kill, and then interrogated the personal servants, lest those people still have bloodlines that could not enter the genealogy and were left out.
Pei Zhi nodded and walked back to Guanjuyuan alone along the path. He hesitated for a moment and planned to go to the soup pool to take a bath first.
The wound on his shoulder couldn't get wet, so it was very troublesome to take a bath. More than half an hour had passed before he changed into scented pajamas.
Before entering the inner room, he asked Ruyi who was guarding outside: "Is the princess asleep?"
"About half an hour ago, the princess had a nightmare. She fell asleep just now. The servant was worried, so she waited here."
Pei Zhi didn't say anything, he just made light footsteps when he entered, lifted the bed curtain and lay next to Yu Tingwan, his palm gently covering her forehead, and there was indeed a thin layer of cold sweat.
He was used to getting up early, even if he didn't go to court, he would open his eyes before Yinshi. After carefully getting down, he walked outside and ordered the female doctor who usually nursed Yu Tingwan to come over.
When the female doctor followed the instructions and brought the pulse report of this period to Guanju Hospital, she said respectfully: "I wonder what your Highness has ordered?"
Pei Zhi's voice was much lower than usual: "The princess has been frightened recently and had a nightmare last night."
He lowered his eyelashes, turned over the pulse table, sighed, and had a headache: "It's the same as when she first entered the house."
