On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Chapter 325 Pei Mochen and Pei Yili, brothers in distress

"Yan Yan, I will personally experience all the suffering and pain you have endured."

Snake venom flower is a chronic poison. If women take too much, they will die, and if men take too much, they will become sterile.

But Pei Mochen no longer cared. He wanted to punish himself and temporarily paralyze himself in this way.

Anyway, even if he looks at the Spring Boudoir Picture now, he has no reaction, it is just like reading a military book or calligraphy and painting.

He had already given up all feelings and love, and it was impossible for him to have any ripples towards any other woman, so Pei Mochen drank the Snake Venom Flower with a clear conscience.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Ling Yun and the housekeeper opened the treasury of Prince Chen's Mansion, counted out all of Mu Wanyan's dowry, and sent them to the Regent's Mansion together with the dowry that Di Xiuyan had sent before.

Not only that, Ling Yun also went to a jewelry store to buy a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, and wrote a note in his personal name and put it in the gift list.

The regent's triumphant return this time will definitely change the government in the future. Take this opportunity to curry favor with him now, and there may be other benefits in the future.

Pei Mochen, who was staying in Jianjia Pavilion, also got up early today.

He looked like a decadent ghost at night, but looked well-groomed during the day, barely showing the demeanor of the former third prince.

He didn't even have breakfast and rode straight to Prince Yi's palace.

When the doorman of Prince Yi's Mansion saw Pei Mochen, he took him directly to the dining hall without even informing anyone, to have dinner with the half-paralyzed Pei Yili.

Pei Yili's legs were still unsteady, and when he saw Pei Mochen coming, he simply pointed at the chair next to him, and the two brothers began to eat familiarly.

The two of them were not born to the same mother. They each had their own talents and were unwilling to accept each other, so their brotherhood was just superficial.

But it was strange that ever since Mu Wanyan jumped off the cliff, Pei Mochen had been running to Prince Yi's Mansion every few days.

The two brothers played chess together, drank together, listened to music together... but more often they just hugged each other and cried.

The relationship between them became better and better, even closer than that between brothers.

After breakfast, the two brothers went to the garden to play chess.

The old steward of Prince Yi's Mansion could not help but shake his head and sigh behind them. These two young men were once full of vigor and vitality, but now one of them has a head full of silver hair and the other is paralyzed on one side of his body, with his legs shaking even when he walks.

They did it all. Who told them to kill their wives?

The old butler sighed and cursed in his heart: You deserve it.

The two brothers still looked handsome, but they were almost as thin as Xiaoying's cows. Therefore, it was very difficult for Pei Mochen and Pei Yili to walk this short distance.

After finally arriving in front of the stone chessboard, the two brothers simultaneously took out handkerchiefs from their sleeves and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

The handkerchief in Pei Yili's hand was made from the pajamas left behind by Princess Qiluo. A piece of cloth was cut at the cuff and then the embroiderer used gold thread to sew it into the shape of a handkerchief.

I carry it with me every day, and every time I wipe it, it feels like Xiao Qiluo is wiping the sweat for me.

Pei Mochen, after all, is older, and he is more perverted than Pei Yili.

The handkerchief in his hand was made from the bellyband that Mu Wanyan had not had time to pack up and take away. Because it was Yanyan's personal item, he didn't want others to touch it, so he specially learned embroidery for a few days.

Pei Mochen was gifted and could master anything he learned. After just a few days, his needle threading skills were better than those of ordinary maids.

Therefore, he made several handkerchiefs out of Mu Wanyan's bellyband, and took them out to smell whenever he missed her, to make up for the regret that he had never been intimate with her.

"Sixth brother is lucky. At least you have truly owned Qiluo." Pei Mochen sighed as he placed the chess piece.

"How can it be like me? I have only touched my Yanyan's hand and have never even touched her lips." Pei Mochen felt more and more sad the more he thought about it.

Pei Yili shook his head. "You don't understand. It's much more painful to have something and then lose it than to never have it at all."

Looking at Pei Mochen's virgin face, Pei Yili sighed, "If I hadn't consummated my marriage with Luo'er, I would definitely not be as useless as you."

"I had no choice. Luo Er and I once had a child, but in the end, I personally ..."

Pei Yili couldn't continue, and choked up a few times before saying: "She and I have been through so much together, and I deserve the way I am now."

Pei Mochen also freed his hands to wipe away his tears. Now he and Pei Yili sympathized with each other. If one of the brothers cried, the other would feel the same way.

He calmed down and comforted her: "You are already better than me. At least you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband when you are with Qiluo, unlike me..."

Pei Mochen's eyes were red again as he spoke, "I always thought Yanyan was a spy from Xichang. On the first day she came to marry me, I gave her to..."

Pei Mochen cried, "I even gave her a chronic poison. When she said she was Luo Luo, I didn't believe her... I'm really worse than a pig or a dog."

"I killed my savior when I was a child. Even when Yanyan died, I didn't tell her in person that I loved her."

Pei Mochen's tears fell down, and he said to Pei Yili: "At least your Qiluo is still alive now, and you still have something to look forward to every day. But what about me? My Yanyan... my little Luoluo, she has..."

When Pei Yili saw his brother crying, he also wiped his tears, propped up his trembling legs, and walked over to pat Pei Mochen on the back to help him calm down.

The old housekeeper was watching from a distance and was furious. Alas, the Dafeng Kingdom was probably going to perish. The two princes should be at an age of high spirits, but now they are fussing like two idiots because of their own personal affairs. It was a sin.

-

On the other hand, after Di Xiuyan brought Mu Wanyan back to the capital, he first ordered people to send Yanyan to the palace for resettlement, and then he went to the palace without stopping to report.

Recovering the border was the top priority, so even though Pei Lingsong was dying, he still sat up in shock, dragged his sick body, and sat on the throne again to welcome Emperor Xiuyan. (Note: "Sitting up in shock while dying" is a quote from an ancient poem, not the author's original work.)

Regent's Palace.

After Xiang Qin received the news, she rushed to Mu Wanyan's side immediately.

The master and servant hugged each other and cried for a long time before they told each other what had happened recently.

Xiang Qin: "Master, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace Pei Yuxiao, do you still remember him?"

Mu Wanyan nodded: "Remember, before I left, he helped me take in a lot of little girls. What happened to him? Is he okay?"

Xiang Qin shook her head. "After you jumped off the cliff, the news released by Prince Chen's Mansion was that you died of a cold. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't believe it, so he found out that it was Concubine Xiao, and then... Concubine Xiao was killed by someone from the Eastern Palace."

Mu Wanyan's eyes widened. "Why... why?"

Xiang Qin: "Chi Yan said that Concubine Xiao once killed Prince Yu's mother and sister, and he privately respects the Regent the most, so after you jumped off the cliff, the Crown Prince wanted to help you get revenge."

"It is said that Concubine Xiao was killed with a single blow, and was hung on a tree branch in the back garden. Her eyes were wide open, which frightened many palace maids and eunuchs at the time."

"Is Pei Yuxiao okay?" Mu Wanyan asked.

Xiang Qin: "Pei Mochen didn't target the prince. He is in a daze now. Sometimes when he was hit by a madman with a stone on the road, he didn't know how to fight back, as if he didn't feel any pain."

"But the Xiao family is different. Together with some old officials in the court, they forced the emperor to put Prince Yu under house arrest. I wonder if there will be any improvement after the return of the regent this time."
