Spirit of the Phoenix: 15. Promise

Pei Ansu kept his head down and never spoke.

When the little prince saw this, he also stopped talking, and the two fell into a strange silence.

Tai'an was anxious, and poked his head out of the "Saint Ancestors". Well, you little prince, before you leave, you have given me thousands of warnings, but you have ignored them all.

"The choice of life and death, how can you not give her some confidence? She is not a girl who grew up in the palace, she just wants to survive. She won't accept benefits without feelings." Tai'an lowered his voice and chattered endlessly, couldn't hold back for a while, stretched out his little hand and squeezed the little prince's chest hard.

The little prince was in pain, and the anger in his heart was lifted up by the two women one behind the other. He took a deep breath, but his face was still full of warmth and kindness.

"At the Peony Flower Banquet. You are wearing a crimson palace dress, and you have a goose-yellow peony flower on your high bun." He tried hard to recall what Tai'an told him, and forced himself to follow her words. Every word recalls the past.

"After Taifu promised to get married, there is not a day when I don't look forward to your big marriage." The little prince considered every word, looking at Pei Ansu's expression, "You are well-known, and you are the Taifu's beloved daughter. I also promised to the Taifu personally that I will treat you wholeheartedly and honestly."

When he said this, he paused slightly. Pei Ansu was a little impatient, her brows raised slightly as if moved, and she gradually raised her head.

"His Royal Highness is unparalleled, and the posture of a slave willow, I am afraid that there will be a match." She said cheerfully.

This trick uses retreat as an advance. Tai'an praised in his heart, and felt a sense of sympathy for each other. She got into trouble when she was young, and she always loved to demote herself to nothing, and then took advantage of the guilt of others to make her demands as a matter of course.

Well, but Pei Ansu's morality is still low, and he is a little restless, Tai'an thought.

Sure enough, before the prince finished his sentence, Pei Ansu couldn't hold back his temper and continued, "Although peonies are beautiful, they are flowers and plants after all. Plants are ruthless, and can be toppled by the wind. I am a slave, so why don't you do it yourself?" Choosing a name, I think it will make a good story?"

Tsk tsk, Tai'an raised his eyebrows.

Grass and trees are ruthless, but two grasses are still of one mind. This is Zhuo Wenjun's "Nagato Fu".

Pei Ansu is not very young, but she is quite ambitious. I want to be a queen, but I don't want to be Gillian.

This is life hanging by a thread, and I still don't forget to ask the little prince for benefits.

As a man, he never likes to be asked for favors, let alone the little prince is the future king. Tai'an looked optimistic, quietly waiting for the little prince's response.

The little prince's face remained calm, his fists were slowly clenched under his sleeves, and after a long while, he drew out the yellow dagger from his waist.

What's going on? Tai'an was shocked. Even if the words are not speculative, it is not enough to reach out and stab someone.

"Calm down, calm down, you!" She poked her head out of "The Precepts of the Ancestors" again, and grabbed his chest hard.

The little prince was so angry that his teeth itch, but he could only hold back, and secretly scolded Tai'an thousands of times in his heart.

He moved his fingertips slightly, and lightly stroked the thin blade of Qu Huang's dagger, and a drop of blood dripped from his thumb, which dripped onto the bluestone board in front of the mourning hall.

"Haiyue can lean, and promises are unwavering. Since I believe it is you, I will live up to it in this life." Standing in front of the black curtain, the little prince said word by word.

And Tai'an, who was hiding in his arms, also clearly heard the promise he made in front of the white candle and black coffin at this moment.

Less than one month after the Taifu's burial, Pei Laoshu, the mistress of the Pei family, committed suicide.

Zhongshu ordered Pei Junzhi to suddenly attack him in the court hall, pointing out that on the day the crown prince asked for condolence, he had misconducted words and deeds in Pei's family and disrespected the grand tutor before the mourning hall.

The words "the crown prince loses his morals", together with the cause of Taifu Peixian's blood splashing Jinluan's suicide, were brought up again. Above the court hall, Grand Sima Chen Keling stood still, Qingliu and the party Wu pressed down on their knees for half of the hall, just like the boundary between Chu and Han.

The emperor was at a loss, and asked Da Sima for help for a while, and excused himself for having a splitting headache and being unable to make a decision.

Prince Lu Rui has not yet married and took office, so he is not allowed to participate in politics, nor has the ability to defend himself above the court.

The matter of impeachment is getting worse and worse, and it seems to be a foregone conclusion.

However, the reversal of the situation was only an instant.

Pei Ansu, the youngest daughter of the crown prince and Taifu Pei Xianzhi, knelt down and beat the Dengwen drum at the gate of the palace.
