Xie Jingxing said, “How can he know so much?”
Even if Fu Xiuyi had trusted Pei Lang before, it was impossible for him to trust him to this extent. Pei Lang wrote down the chess pieces that Fu Xiuyi had laid out. It was as if Pei Lang was a trusted general who had been with Fu Xiuyi for many years and knew everything about his master.
Shen Miao’s fingers were trembling.
Some of these things would only happen a few years later. Even now, Fu Xiuyi did not know those people, so how could Pei Lang know them?
Unless Pei Lang also had the memories of his previous life, which was why he already knew Fu Xiuyi’s “future” trusted aides and chess pieces.
When did Pei Lang know? He clearly did not know anything before.
Could it be… Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. She dreamed of her previous life after the assassination attempt on Xie Jingxing’s birthday. Could it be that it also happened to Pei Lang?
She looked at Hui Xiang. “Is there anything different about Mr. Pei these days?”
Hui Xiang thought about it carefully and said, “There doesn’t seem to be any difference. He often sat there in a daze, deep in thought about something.”
Shen Miao wanted to ask Pei Lang if he knew anything about his previous life. Pei Lang had been by Fu Xiuyi’s side the longest, so he naturally knew him the best. However, just as she was about to speak, she stopped.
So what? If Pei Lang really remembered his previous life, just like how Shen Miao couldn’t face Pei Lang, Pei Lang definitely couldn’t face her either.
The two of them were not fated enemies, nor were they close friends. They could not pretend that nothing had happened and could not explain it clearly either, so escaping from it might really be the wise choice.
Xie Jingxing asked, “Do you need me to get someone to capture him?”
Shen Miao came back to her senses and said, “There’s no need. Since he wants to live his own life, let him go.” It was good that Pei Lang left like this. She held the piece of paper, her eyes sharp.
Seeing this, Xie Jingxing said, “This letter…”
“It’s true.” Shen Miao said, “We have to hand this to my brother. We’re not in the capital, so it’s useless to us. Give it to my brother and my brother. They can benefit from it. With this, the Shen family will at least have more leverage.” Then, she was in a difficult position. “However, this thing is precious. If the messenger is hijacked on the way…”
“Let the Black Feather Army go.” Xie Jingxing said casually, “The Black Feather
Army has been sending letters for many years and has never been hijacked.”
Shen Miao felt a little relieved. Before she could speak, Pei Lang’s letter was taken away by Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing casually threw the letter away and said, “It’s too late. Rest.”
“How is it late?” Shen Miao said curiously, “It got dark not long ago.” She continued, “Although we don’t have to find Mr. Pei, we have to at least ensure his safety. That day, he was injured for no reason. If he’s targeted again…’ Before she could finish his sentence, Shen Miao was already picked up by Xie Jingxing. He threw Shen Miao on the bed and approached her, saying sinisterly, “Try showing concerns about Pei Lang again.”
Shen Miao was speechless.
In the palace.
In the royal garden, the lotus flowers were blooming well in the summer, and the green lotus leaves were almost covering the pond.
Empress Xiande sat in the pavilion. Although there was no moon today, there were stars. The cool wind was blowing, and the water was sparkling. It was good scenery. She ordered someone to make flower tea. It was extremely comfortable to drink a small cup in summer..
