Chapter 324 Pei Mochen Punishes Himself
"Master, I heard that the Regent returned to the capital this time and brought a woman back with him."
Pei Mochen was stunned when he heard this, and then a complex emotion appeared in his handsome eyes.
He sighed and said to himself, "All men in the world are unfaithful. Yanyan, have you seen in heaven? The regent who was so obsessed with you before turned out to be a fickle and indecisive scoundrel."
"It has only been a few months since Emperor Xiuyan fought in the Northern Desert. Before he knew about your death, he had already returned with a woman in secret."
Ling Yun, the personal guard standing beside him, nodded and added, "Indeed, I heard that the Regent and the woman called each other husband and wife on their way back, and they shared a carriage and a tent."
Pei Mochen curled his lips and said sarcastically: "Oh, shameless guy. If Di Xiuyan hadn't forced me again and again, I wouldn't have given Yanyan to him several times."
"Yanyan's body is still warm, but he has already found a new wife."
Ling Yun: “…” Strange, does the master mean to stand up for Princess Mu?
He was another personal guard of Pei Mochen. His rank was second only to Yun Yin before. Because Yun Yin left after Mu Wanyan jumped off the cliff, Ling Yun's position was naturally promoted.
So this time I learned some unknown things about Pei Mochen.
Ling Yun bowed to Pei Mochen and said, "Master, if Princess Mu were still alive, would you hope that she would still be with the Regent...?"
"Nonsense!" Pei Mochen's eyes widened in anger and he cursed, "What do you know?"
"Of course Yanyan can only belong to me, but as a man, I feel ashamed for Di Xiuyan."
He turned and went to Jianjia Pavilion. Every blade of grass and every tree here was exactly the same as when Mu Wanyan was here. Ever since Mu Wanyan jumped off the cliff, Pei Mochen moved directly here.
He didn't allow the servants to wash the pillows or sheets on the bed, saying that this way he could smell Mu Wanyan's scent from time to time.
Previously, there was a reckless maid who, seeing that the quilt was dirty, not only took it to be cleaned without permission, but also took the initiative to ask for credit from Pei Mochen at night and tried to seduce him... It is conceivable that the grass on the grave of that bold maid should be more than a foot high now.
After Pei Mochen arrived at Jianjia Pavilion, he walked directly to the bed, picked up the pillow that Mu Wanyan had used before, held it in his arms, and sobbed loudly.
"Yan Yan, it would be great if you were still alive. The regent who only has military power now has a new wife. He can't stop me from loving you anymore."
"Yan Yan, you must not be dead, right? Otherwise, why didn't you come to see Brother Chen in a dream once?"
Ling Yun felt a little disgusted when he saw his master crying, but he still bowed and said, "Master, I just got another important piece of information."
Pei Mochen: "Speak."
Ling Yun: "According to the spies, the woman the Regent brought back is named Mu Chuyan, and she is from Xichang."
He paused and continued, "I heard that Miss Chu Yan is the younger sister of the late Princess Consort, and they look very similar."
Pei Mochen raised his head after hearing this. After pondering for a moment, a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"No wonder Di Xiuyan fell in love with her. Even if a woman in this world is only a little bit like Yanyan, she is definitely a stunning beauty. Not to mention that Mu Chuyan is my Yanyan's sister, so her appearance is even more amazing."
"Emperor Xiuyan has reached the tenth level of martial arts cultivation and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. He has rarely seen women. As a martial artist, it is natural for him to be tempted."
Pei Mochen picked up a glass of strong liquor and drank it by himself, "Unlike this king, I will never fall in love with any woman again in my life."
Ling Yun: "Master, Princess Mu has saved you so many times, and she is still your childhood Luo Luo. It is normal that the master only has her in his heart."
Pei Mochen covered his chest and said in pain, "Lingyun, don't mention it again. When you mention these past events, my heart feels like it's being cut by a thousand knives. I feel like I'm not a human being. I feel so miserable."
Ling Yun: “…” You are not a human being. I haven’t told you yet that you forced her to jump off the cliff?
He sighed and thought: What a good Princess Xichang is, she is so kind to her servants and looks like a fairy in heaven, but I didn't expect that she would be killed by Pei Mochen, the white-haired monster.
If his family had not been poor and needed money to live, he would have left the palace long ago, just like Yunyin.
The master and servant were speechless. Pei Mochen took a few more gulps of strong liquor before saying:
"Since she is Yanyan's sister, then as her brother-in-law, I must send her some gifts no matter what."
He said to Ling Yun, "Open the treasury tomorrow and have the butler take out Yanyan's former dowry, along with the jewelry that Di Xiuyan sent over before, and send them all to the Regent's Palace."
Ling Yun: "Master, are you going there tomorrow? The Regent's Palace will definitely hold a banquet tomorrow. You can go and see the princess's younger sister."
Pei Mochen waved his hand and said, "Just deliver my gift. I am not in good health now. My hair is all silver and my internal organs are not in good condition."
He laughed at himself and said, "If I saw Di Xiuyan and that worthless Mu Chuyan being so sweet and loving, I might faint at the banquet."
Ling Yun nodded, "That's fine, I'll send someone to deliver the gift tomorrow."
-
In fact, Pei Mochen was in good condition during the day. Although his hair was completely white at a young age, he was still in good spirits and could still handle the affairs of the court.
The servants would occasionally see him staring blankly by himself, shedding a few tears, or suddenly becoming emotionally unstable and executing a few people, but overall, he was still a normal prince.
What they didn't know was that only late at night, when everyone in Prince Chen's mansion had gone to bed and even the animals had stopped mooing, would Pei Mochen really go crazy.
He lived alone in Jianjia Pavilion and did not allow anyone to enter the room.
First, he let his white hair down, then he lit a candle in front of the mirror, and finally he muttered something to the mirror... I don't know which wizard he heard this necromancy ritual from.
However, Mu Wanyan was not dead, so how could he possibly attract Yanyan's soul?
What appeared in the mirror from beginning to end was his pale face, coupled with his snow-white hair and his red and sad eyes, which was enough to scare the timid to death.
Pei Mochen had become accustomed to it. Every time he performed this silent ritual for half a day, he would burst into tears.
He complained to the air: "Yan Yan, my dear Luo Luo, I am in such a state that I am neither human nor ghost, and you are unwilling to come out to see me?"
"I miss you, Yanyan, I love you, my Luoluo."
He clenched his fist and hit his chest hard, "Yan Yan, Brother Chen, it hurts here. It hurts so much. Yan Yan, please have pity on me and come back to see me."
Do you think it's over once he has vented his emotions?
Not yet, the night is still long, and Pei Mochen has something even crazier to do.
On the table was a bowl of medicine containing snake venom and flower poison. He had to take a bowl of it every night before he could fall asleep.
Otherwise he would feel uneasy and unable to sleep.
This is his daily sleep aid.
"Yan Yan, I will personally experience all the suffering and pain you have endured."
