From that day on, Bai Yan didn't see Pei Lin for three or four days in a row, and when she asked, he was out on business.

She felt blankly that he seemed to be avoiding her, but she didn't know where she had offended him that day.

She hadn't seen Pei Lin in the past few days, and she hadn't seen Song Yuanming either. The tacit understanding between the two brothers was only used in these useless places.

Finally, at night, Song Yuanming opened the door. Seeing his tired face, Bai Yan stepped forward and asked, "What happened? You are very busy these days?"

Song Yuanming hummed and sat down, as if he was too lazy to say anything more.

Bai Yan sat next to him reluctantly, "Where is Pei Lin?"

"He hasn't come back, so you don't have to go."

He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and said, "He Kui is dead."

"What?!"

Bai Yan jumped up instantly, "No, Pei Lin couldn't have killed him. It's impossible. He's not such an impulsive person."

"No, we don't know who it is. Yuan Xi went to see it. He cut the artery directly from the front and it looked like he was a familiar person. He died in Yuchun Pavilion, along with several women. It looked like he was

Who asked him to come over and have fun?"

"Would that raise suspicions about you? You often go to Yuchun Pavilion."

"It's possible, that's what I'm worried about now."

Song Yuanming sighed and waved his hand, "Don't worry, go to bed early. Yuanxi is fine. He will be back when he is done."

Bai Yan sat down blankly. After hearing what he said, she had no intention of sleeping.

Who will kill He Kui, and who will be more eager to get rid of the He family than they are.

Of the two brothers of the He family, He Kui was in charge of the court and He Tian was in charge of the military. He Kui died suddenly. Not only was Queen He unable to sit still, He Tian was even more unlikely to swallow this breath.

Pei Lin is not stupid, Song Yuanming is not an idiot, and the emperor will not do this.

So who is it?

"Nanny," Song Yuanming said after a while, "I think there are still people in the house. I want to drive away most of the women and clean them up. I need a reason."

Bai Yan turned around and stared at him, "Do you need me to give you a reason?"

"Can you?"

"How about saying I'm jealous? But isn't it a little late for me to be jealous after I've been here for so long?"

Song Yuanming didn't know what to do for a while. He hesitated and said, "Maybe I still need a child."

"Are you crazy! There are so many women in your house, can't you just find one? You don't want me to have a child with you, it's impossible. I'm warning you not to mess around!"

"The eldest son."

He lowered his head, his side face flickering in the candlelight, and slowly spoke three words.

Bai Yan forced herself to calm down, took two steps back and laughed, "Stop joking, you know in your heart that this is impossible."

Song Yuanming hummed and said no more.

Bai Yan guessed why he suddenly wanted a child.

First, he has no children, and he claims to the outside world that he is not interested in children and does not want those women to give birth to his children. But now they pretend to be very affectionate, and it would be unreasonable to have no children.

Secondly, in the current situation, if she can spread the news of pregnancy and prove that the two have been together day and night in the recent period, most of the suspicion of killing He Kui will be cleared.

He needs it, but she can't.

"Song Yuanming, I can't."

How could he not know that the people around him sighed, and Bai Yan lowered her head and thought.

"Maybe I can fake a pregnancy, but when the time comes you have to find a child to carry over, which is a bit dangerous."

Song Yuanming frowned. It was not impossible to fake a pregnancy. When the time came, he would find a child with a suitable date and bring him over.

"Would you do that?"

"I'm still saying that, helping you means helping him. The three of us are grasshoppers on a rope, aren't we?"

Under the candlelight, Song Yuanming smiled and shook his head, as if he was helpless. After a while, his palms went up and stretched towards her side.

Bai Yan put her hand on it knowingly.

The palms of their hands were put together, but neither of them held them.

"Fortunately, I didn't kill you at Chaolu Temple."

"I knew that the poison was originally prepared for me."

When old things are brought up again, no one has the temptation, calculation, anger and anger at the beginning, and calmly tells a story about what happened.

Bai Yan chuckled, maybe she was really a year older and calmer.

It has been two days since the news was released, and Bai Yan has experienced what it means to be busy and exhausted.

Empress He sent people to greet her and brought many supplements. Song Yuanhe also sent congratulatory gifts.

Not to mention that Song Yuanming's 'harem' was in chaos, and she spent a lot of time trying to get rid of them.

She got the news while sitting at the table early in the morning.

Pei Lin came back last night.

She couldn't wait to lift up her skirt and ran over. From a distance, she saw a white figure dancing a sword in the bamboo courtyard.

The first time she saw him dancing with a sword was in Daqi on a snowy day.

His white clothes were flying, and the tip of the sword pointed at the direction of his heart. She stood aside and watched and could even hear the clank of the sword cutting through the air.

It's been a long time since I saw him dancing with a sword.

She slowed down her steps and walked to Xiao Wu's side, "How come you, young master, are in such good spirits so early in the morning that you suddenly want to practice sword practice?"

Xiao Wu swallowed when he saw her and said hesitantly, "Young Master has been practicing all night."

The smile on Bai Yan's face froze, "One night? He stood here and practiced all night!"

Crazy! She couldn't wait for Xiao Wu to answer, so she rushed over.

"Pei Lin!"

Pei Lin saw her from the moment she came in. He didn't stop the action in his hand and turned sideways to slash the sword to one side.

"What's wrong with you?"

He didn't stop, and he didn't even think about paying attention to her. Bai Yan cruelly stepped forward and held his hand in the light of the sword. She knew that Pei Lin would not hurt her.

His hands were cold and the clothes on his body were already wet, whether from the morning dew or sweat.

Water was dripping from the hair on his forehead. He stopped breathing rapidly and put the sword in his hand on the ground to support his shaking body.

Bai Yan took a step forward and hugged him, reaching out to help him wipe away the beads of sweat. But Pei Lin turned her head away, raised her hand to separate her, and pushed her shoulder lightly.

"fine."

As he spoke, he raised the sword again. Bai Yan anxiously stepped forward and snatched the sword from his hand and threw it to the ground.

There was a bang, which kept echoing in the empty surroundings.

"You heard that, right?"

His reaction could only be because he heard about her fake pregnancy.

"Pei Lin, look at me."

Bai Yan suddenly calmed down, she put down her hand holding his and stood at arm's length away from him.

Pei Lin turned around, his eyes surprisingly calm.

After a while he nodded.

"Did we hook up? You said you should give me some trust. Do you think I am such a person?"

It was the first time she brought up her anger when facing him. She hoped that they could trust each other. At this moment when she couldn't explain everything clearly, she wanted his wholehearted trust.

Pei Lin stared at her for a while, not that he didn't believe it.

It's just that he's a little scared.

What if she likes children very much, what if she really wants a child.

He didn't want her to regret it in the future, wasting her best years with him, and ending up with no one at her knees.

He lowered his head slowly, as if there was nothing he could do. Bai Yan's heart was suddenly lifted, and she suddenly lost her temper.

This fool is probably thinking about what is available and what is not.

She took the initiative to take a step forward, stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips.

His lips were cold, and she even felt distressed and blamed herself for not telling him in advance.

"It's fake news, stupid Pei Lin."

She touched his face and asked him to look at her, "Don't torture yourself, I feel bad."

"Nanny..."

Pei Lin was stunned for a moment, recalling every word she just said, and his eyes turned red.

He was wet all over and too cold to be as warm as a normal person. Bai Yan took his hand and brought him into the room.

She pressed his shoulders and made him sit down, twisted a hot towel, sat on his lap, and carefully covered his face.

"Is it cold?"

Pei Lin shook his head and nodded slowly, his eyes always glued to her.

Bai Yan laughed angrily and hugged his neck, "Give me a hug so I won't be cold anymore."

As if he was approved, he hugged her and kneaded her tightly until her blood flowed to her bones.

She couldn't help but want to shed tears, "I feel bad, so don't torture yourself, okay?"

Feeling that he nodded and his chin touched her shoulder, Bai Yan laughed and kissed his face, "Okay, please change out of your wet clothes. Do you want to take a hot bath? Don't

You're sick and I don't want to take care of you."

Pei Lin stared at her face, blinked, and nodded again.

Bai Yan laughed out loud and pinched his face with both hands, "Little Pei Lin, why have you become such a fool? Kiss me."

Wherever her index finger touched, his lips followed, which made Bai Yan think he was really cute. The way he tried to coax her after doing something wrong was so cute.

Afraid that he would catch a cold, she didn't make any fuss with him and pushed him to take a bath.

There is also a Wentan behind the Bamboo Garden, which is different from the one in Qiwu Palace. It has underground water.

Bai Yan sat in the room waiting for him to come out, while thinking about what to do next after the fake pregnancy.

"Nanny."

When she heard him calling her, she walked over in confusion and stopped behind the curtain. She hesitated but still didn't go in.

"What's wrong?"

"Come in."

Bai Yan then walked inside. He still kept his clothes on and stood in the center of Wen Tan, with his back to her.

Hearing the sound of someone walking in behind him, Pei Lin stared at the ripples spreading in the water and blinked.

He spoke slowly and took off his clothes.

"Twenty years after the great prosperity of the Qi Dynasty, I was sent as a hostage..."

Bai Yan didn't understand what he wanted to say.

She stared blankly as he took off all the clothes on his upper body and turned around.

This wasn't the first time she saw the scars all over his body, but she couldn't help but frown.

Through the water vapor, Pei Lin continued, "In the twenty-seventh year of Sheng'an, when I was twelve years old, I purified myself and entered the palace. Maybe you don't know what it means..."

"Wait a minute!" Bai Yan stopped abruptly, as if she understood what he was going to say. He didn't think she didn't know, "I know, I've always known it."

Pei Lin looked at her and never felt that she was so far away.

She is young, has big eyes and is ignorant of the world, as if she does not understand that what she is making is a decision that will determine the rest of her life.

He wanted to give her a chance to regret.

"I cannot have children in this life, unlike ordinary people."

Bai Yan opened her mouth, stuttering and not knowing what to say.

She had known it for a long time, why did he suddenly mention it today.

She knew this premise from the beginning. She wasn't forced to accept it after falling in love with him, but she understood it before she fell in love with him.

To her, it's not important at all.

Just when she was about to say a few words, Pei Lin turned around and stopped looking at her, "Get out."

"Pei..."

"go out."

Bai Yan stood up and walked out.

Pei Lin is a person with extremely strong self-esteem. He disdains and is unwilling to talk about his pain.

He had revealed his worthless bottom line in front of her twice.

Bai Yan walked out, did not stay in the room, and returned to her place.

She felt that he needed some time to accept that she had fully accepted it.
