Chapter 513 - 515: Love Beyond Words

Chapter 513: Chapter 515: Love Beyond Words

Pei Huaian looked at Pei Hanze, "Uncle, you didn’t have to tell me all this."

"Yes, but whether a country has a wise ruler is important, it affects the rise and fall of the nation, and that position should not have fallen into the hands of others. The Emperor always had his eyes on you."

Although Pei Hanze wasn’t very fond of him, he had to admit, in the face of national affairs, that Pei Huaian indeed possessed the boldness and capacity to become the ruler of a country.

He had always doubted the Emperor’s judgment, but now he had to acknowledge that the Emperor was indeed accurate in assessing people. Although mixed with some personal feelings, Pei Huaian truly did not disappoint them.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"What do you plan to do?"

Now that the Capital City was in great turmoil, although Pei Huaian had made great achievements, people in the Capital City might seize on the pretext of his unauthorized departure from Jingzhou.

"When I left Jingzhou, I had already visited the palace and sought approval from Father, even if someone tries to make an issue out of Jingzhou, it will be futile."

Since Pei Huaian dared to make such a decision, he must have been fully confident.

Pei Hanze nodded, "The Emperor really didn’t choose the wrong person. I just hope that you will treat that girl well. Your path ahead will not be easy."

Pei Huaian nodded firmly, "I will protect them with my life, never allowing them to be wronged."

"Alright, you’ve had a long and tiring journey, get some rest." Pei Hanze said as he stood up to leave.

Qing Shan stood in the courtyard, seeing the person who came out and greeted him, holding a tray with freshly brewed tea.

"Prince."

Pei Hanze glanced at her, then at the tray she was holding.

"Have you been waiting here all this time?"

"This servant knew the Prince and the Fifth Prince had matters to discuss and did not dare to intrude," Qing Shan replied.

Pei Hanze looked down and chuckled softly, "Next time, you don’t have to wait like this. If that girl finds out, she will surely think I am bullying you and who knows how she might argue with me about it."

Qing Shan slightly lifted her eyes, "No."

Pei Hanze raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean ’no’?"

"The Prince has never bullied this servant," Qing Shan said with determination.

Pei Hanze thought nothing more of it and had Qing Shan place the tea inside the room while he himself got up and went over to a drawing desk.

Qing Shan didn’t leave right away but unconsciously moved closer to the desk, and seeing the woman drawn on the rice paper, she felt a strong sense of familiarity.

"Isn’t this the Lady?"

Pei Hanze then realized Qing Shan hadn’t left and smiled faintly at her remark, "You think she looks like your lady, don’t you?"

"Isn’t she?"

"She is my wife."

Qing Shan was stunned, not surprised that he had a woman he liked, but because when talking about the woman he liked, he used "I" instead of "this Prince."

This clearly showed how important this woman was to him, no wonder he had been so persistent with the Lady.

"Very beautiful."

Pei Hanze gently stroked the painting of the woman, his eyes full of deep love.

"She is also a female doctor, and just like your lady, skilled in medicine. Unfortunately..."

Pei Hanze didn’t finish his sentence; his expression gradually became sorrowful.

Qing Shan looked down sorrowfully, her long eyelashes covering the emotions in her heart.

"The spirit of the Princess in heaven would also wish for the Prince to be a little happier," she said.

Pei Hanze nodded, his gaze returning to the portrait of his wife...

...

After Pei Huaian returned to Jingzhou, he took over all military affairs. He was busy all day, often forgetting to eat and only took time to sneak out at midnight to meet with Shao He.

Perhaps due to excessive longing, Pei Huaian couldn’t control his desire to see her; he had to see her once every night, and only then could they both sleep more soundly.

In this period, undercurrents surged in the court, and many officials were implicated.

The Emperor seemed to have noticed this and sent people to secretly investigate the matter.

The final result was that someone had bought a few court officials to frame Pei Huaian, and as for who was behind it, there was still no news, but the Emperor already had an idea.

"Master, you should rest now," Ah Mo said as he pushed the door open and saw the person still dealing with official duties.

Since returning to Jingzhou, he had been dealing with all matters incessantly, never taking a break.

Pei Hanze arranged everything, preparing to leave Jingzhou. On the night before he left, Qing Shan stood outside the window, her figure tinged with a certain melancholy.

"Do you like him?"

Shao He suddenly appeared behind her, following her gaze to the figure at the window and asked.

Qing Shan hurriedly withdrew her gaze, "No, Miss, this servant, this servant..."

Seeing her flustered, Shao He couldn’t help but chuckle, "You are always composed and calm; such fluster is never seen on your face, why now?"

"This servant wouldn’t dare to harbor feelings for the Prince, and moreover, the Prince’s heart belongs only to his Princess," Qing Shan said self-deprecatingly, not sure if she was saying it for Shao He to hear or for herself.

Seeing her like this, Shao He became more certain that Qing Shan had developed special feelings for Pei Hanze, but Qing Shan was right about one thing, with her status, not to mention marrying Pei Hanze, even becoming a mere concubine might be impossible.

"It’s not tragic to like someone, Qing Shan. Rather than guarding these feelings silently, it’s better to voice the secrets in your heart, knowing the likely outcome, but at least leaving no regrets," Shao He said, patting her on the shoulder before turning to leave, leaving Qing Shan alone in her thoughts.
