I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 284 The real cause of Brother Gu’s death.

Pei Zhijin held Jiang Xue's face up with deep eyes and said softly, "Do you suspect that Hongying has a relationship with Han Qingqing?"

Jiang Xue originally wanted to ask how did you know that, but then she changed her mind and thought, Pei Zhijin looked so calm, it was obvious that he had known it for a long time.

Then he asked, "Do you know?"

"Yes." Pei Zhijin nodded slightly, and then continued: "When Brother Gu and Han Qingqing met, he already knew her identity. Han Qingqing helped Brother Gu a lot with Fengyun Tower, and after a few visits, the two fell in love."

"Han Qingqing betrayed Fengyun Tower for Brother Gu, and Hongying put Han Qingqing on the killer list afterwards. Brother Gu was hacked to death by those who were chasing him in order to save Han Qingqing."

Jiang Xue's lips moved slightly. She didn't expect that Brother Gu would be willing to die for Han Qingqing. She just didn't know if Han Qingqing was worthy of Brother Gu's deep affection.

"Xue'er, I have no objection to you investigating Han Qingqing's affairs, but for example, today, you put yourselves in danger. Do you know how worried Wang Ziyan and I are?"

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin's frowning brows, and the corners of her stubborn mouth softened. Then she couldn't help but reach out and touch Pei Zhijin's frowning brows, and said softly: "I know you care about me, and I won't do that again in the future."

Pei Zhijin held Jiang Xue's hand and said tenderly, "Xue'er, you..."

"Okay, I know what you want to ask. I think Han Qingqing is not simple. Since she is from Fengyun Tower, shouldn't Hongying kill Han Qingqing immediately to vent her anger when she caught her?"

Pei Zhijin lowered his eyes slightly, "You know everything."

"Zhi Jin, Han Qingqing just wants you to see her good side, but the other side is her true self. I don't believe you didn't notice it."

"I know, but because of Brother Gu, I have always turned a blind eye."

"Therefore, we must investigate Han Qingqing to see if she has really betrayed Fengyun Tower."

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue, then nodded and said, "Okay, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Don't put yourself in danger."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue raised the corners of her mouth and said softly, "I understand." Then she stood on tiptoe and kissed Pei Zhijin on the face.

Pei Zhijin's heart trembled, and then he grabbed Jiang Xue and kissed her lips.

Hmm......

Jiang Xue's eyes were slightly surprised, and before she could react, Pei Zhijin picked her up.

On the bed, Pei Zhijin kissed Jiang Xue passionately, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Jiang Xue felt the tenderness of Pei Zhijin's kiss, closed her eyes, and responded affectionately.

When Pei Zhijin wanted to go a step further, he suddenly remembered Jiang Xue's injuries and had to give up.

When Lin Yiyi and Wang Ziyan returned to Magnolia Garden, they started fighting again over who had better martial arts skills.

There was only the sound of clanging in the house. Lin Yiyi kicked Wang Ziyan's arm that was blocking his chest and asked angrily, "If you hadn't shown up tonight, I could have beaten them down too."

Prince Yan said with a smile on his face: "Madam is right."

"Don't be so smiling. Have you finished dealing with the matter at the Shadow Hall? If you rashly come to Qingyuan like this, it will be troublesome if Jiahe sees you."

Wang Ziyan raised the corner of his mouth, and quickly moved along Lin Yiyi's leg to her hand, then he pushed Lin Yiyi against the table and said softly: "The Shadow Hall has been dealt with, and Chengwang will receive the news tonight. As for Jiahe, I have sent people to keep an eye on it."

"only....."

"Just what?"

Prince Yan suddenly leaned close to Lin Yiyi's ear and said in a low voice, "It's just that without the wife by your side, your husband feels that time is passing very slowly."

When Lin Yiyi heard this, her face turned red and she quickly pushed Wang Ziyan away.

But Wang Ziyan didn't give Lin Yiyi this chance. He picked her up and walked towards the bed.

The white curtain fell, and the two figures on the couch overlapped.

The moonlight was dim, and there was a misty atmosphere in the house, while outside it suddenly started snowing. Hongying had a painful expression on her face and curled up in the snow with disheveled hair.

------

The first snow fell on the branches, and birds were chirping on the branches. It was already dawn. Jiang Xue opened the window and looked at the white snow in the yard. She turned around in surprise and looked at Pei Zhijin who was getting dressed and said, "Zhijin, come quickly, it's snowing."

Pei Zhijin walked to the window with a gentle expression, hugged Jiang Xue from behind, and said softly: "As white as snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon in the clouds."

Jiang Xue said happily: "Shall we go to the plum garden to make tea tonight?"

"Okay."

Jiang Xue suddenly remembered something and looked outside the yard, and saw a patch of red piled in the snow amidst the vast expanse of white.

"Oh, I forgot about her." Then he walked out quickly.

Hongying had already fainted from the cold. Inside the house, Jiang Xue felt Hongying's pulse and said, "Hmph, you're still quite strong." Then she took out a pill and fed it to Hongying.

"Mo Cang...Mo Cang..." Hongying murmured.

"The person is dead, what's the point of worrying about him so much?" Jiang Xue said from the side.

Hongying slowly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes were covered with water droplets. Hongying's eyes moved slightly, and tiny water droplets slid down from her eyelashes.

After her vision calmed down, Hong Ying finally saw clearly where she was. She looked at Jiang Xue standing in front of her and said, "I...I don't want to die."

"Don't want to die?"

"Yes."

Hongying nodded haggardly. She seemed to have seen Mo Cang in a trance last night when she was on the verge of death. Mo Cang repeatedly told her to take good care of herself.

She hadn't seen Mo Cang in her dreams for a long time. At that moment, she suddenly felt relieved. When Mo Cang died, he was still worried about her safety. Why did she force herself to become like this?

"Tell me when you've made up your mind."

Hong Ying nodded slightly and said, "Han Qingqing did betray Fengyun Tower, but she turned around and became a disciple of King Cheng. Your elder brother Gu is the gift from Han Qingqing to King Cheng."

Pei Zhijin frowned after hearing this and said coldly, "Explain it clearly."

Hongying laughed and shook her head, "Han Qingqing, on the surface she looks inexperienced, but in fact she is the most scheming person. Not only did she betray me, she also tricked Gu Lang into being so foolish that he was willing to die for her."

"Oh, it's really ridiculous. Do you men all like those kind of pitiful women? Just like you, Lord Pei, you clearly suspect Han Qingqing in your heart, but you don't want to investigate thoroughly."

"He is not someone you can discuss." Jiang Xue said coldly.

Hong Ying looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Han Qingqing chose to join King Cheng in order to avoid being hunted down by assassins. At that time, Gu Lang was a member of the Jinyiwei. Perhaps he discovered something and offended King Cheng. King Cheng then asked Han Qingqing to kill Gu Lang, and he saved Han Qingqing."
