Chapter 63 : The People's Grievance

Early in the morning, bright sunshine sprinkled all over the courtyard, birds in the branches lightly jumping around, letting out happy cries, the fresh fragrance of flowers and grass wafted in the air, a refreshing scene.

But Pei Si Yan is not happy at all, a sleep wake up, found that the legs can not move, the knee is swollen like two big buns, gently touch it on the heart of the pain.

She began to regret last night played too much, and anxious to sleep did not according to the doctor's instructions to take a hot towel to cover a knee, Mo Xuan originally served a bowl of medicine, but she was too sleepy, coupled with the medicinal juice is too hot, dazed and confused to sleep over, and now the bowl of medicine in its original form in the bedside stool, has long been cooled.

She did not want to let Mo Xuan again self-condemnation up, clenched her teeth a little bit of moving legs, if Yun Qi in would be good, may be able to help her, but taking into account this time out of town do not know how long it will take to go back, away from the light dye serious injuries have not yet healed, so the careful and considerate Yun Qi to stay in the mansion, is responsible for taking care of the patient.

After getting out of bed with great difficulty and struggling to put on her shoes, Pei Si Yan picked up one of the canes beside the bed to barely support her body and slowly put on her clothes.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by Mo Xuan's voice: "Xiao Yan, are you up?"

Pei Si Yan was so shocked that she almost didn't fall back to her **, she tried her best to suppress the pain and called out softly, "Um, wait outside for a moment, I'll be out in a while."

"Hmm, good."

Pei Si Yan grabbed the time to wash and freshen up, tossed half a day before arriving at the door, opened the door to the house and giggled at Mo Xuan, "You got up so early ah, have you eaten breakfast?"

Mo Xuan felt Pei Si Yan looked strange, touch her forehead, "Are you okay?"

"It's fine, ahahahaha-" Pei Si Yan laughed out loud, then realised that she can't hide many things from Mo Xuan, dishevelled, she withdrew her laughter and hung her head, "My legs... ..."

When Mo Xuan heard this, he immediately looked at Pei Si Yan's legs, only then did he realise that she was relying on a cane to barely stand, her legs and feet were trembling uncontrollably, seemingly ready to fall at any time. He was heartbroken as he picked up Pei Si Yan in a cross body hug and gently placed her back to **, the action was so light that Pei Si Yan did not feel any pain at all.

"How come?" Mo Xuan's eyes revealed deep concern, gently caressing over Pei Si Yan's calf, "How long did the Emperor make you kneel in the end?!"

Pei Si Yan replied in a small voice, "More than four hours."

"But why would it be injured so seriously ..." Mo Xuan's tone rose sharply, "According to reason it wouldn't be serious to this extent at all ... Emperor , the emperor in the end he did what!"

"Hush!" Pei Siyan hastily covered his mouth, nervously looking at the wide open door of the house, "You're crazy ah, disrespect to the emperor is to be decapitated by the whole family!"

"Hmph," Mo Xuan sneered, "How much effort did you put into that Emperor, but how did he treat you? What a move to cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

Pei Si Yan's complexion flinched as she asked in a cold voice, "How do you know how much heart and soul I've put in for the Emperor?"

"After the Emperor ascended the throne, he repeatedly promoted the Tantai family, I guessed it."

Mo Xuan looked normal, no hiding, Pei Si Yan put down her heart and said lightly, "This time it is true that I have gone a little too far, I shouldn't have killed Lady Yuexi on the spot in a fit of pique, I should have escorted her back to the imperial capital and handed her over to the Da Lisi for interrogation.... The Emperor has just ascended to the throne, he needs to establish his authority and can't arbitrarily He needs to establish his credibility, so he can't just harbour his trusted officials. Otherwise, who'd be loyal to such an emperor? I also have the name of the traitor outside, naturally the punishment will be more serious. The Emperor is also giving me a chance to re-establish my reputation this time, I should thank him for that."

Mo Xuan touched Pei Si Yan's face and sighed, "You are too stupid."

Pei Si Yan held Mo Xuan's hand and pressed it to her face, "Mo Xuan, yesterday there was a matter that was interrupted ...," her face suddenly coloured with a red cloud, it was because of the kissing that she forgot about the matter.

"What is it?"

"If your father and mother agree to our marriage, when the inspection is over and we return to the imperial capital, I will resign from my official position, anyway, now that the world is at peace, I've done all I need to do." Pei Si Yan said, having come this far, it was considered to be fulfilling Tantai Yan's wish, right? And her ambitious career was also completed when Lan Xuan ascended the throne, although there are still many unpredictable winds and storms in the future, all of them are collectively left to the real Tantai family people, she really can't hold out and is about to go crazy.

If they do not agree then ... then she must continue to walk through that thorny path and restore her reputation before joining hands.

The heavens had already favoured her by allowing her to fulfil her heart's desire, so this time there should be no exception, right?

"Then I accompany you to break through the world!"

When I was a child watching martial arts dramas, I had fantasised countless times about her breaking into the world with a sword, meeting a man she loved on the rivers and lakes, and becoming a pair of "immortal" couples who robbed the rich to help the poor.

Mo Xuan's eyes flashed a complex colour, Pei Si Yan did not notice, and continued: "I want to leave far away from all the struggle for power, and truly live according to my will, until the last moment of life."

People sometimes really strange, do not have something when, desperately want to get, but once in the hand, but feel is a hot potato, hate to immediately throw away, no longer attached.

"Okay, Mo Xuan?"

Mo Xuan did not immediately answer, he fixedly looked at Pei Si Yan, eyes are indescribable emotion, hidden in the mask under the face do not know show in the end is happy or sad.

Pei Si Yan slowly blinked down his eyes, his other hand reached out to Mo Xuan's mask, carefully stroked through, the jade texture is smooth and warm, with a little bit of comfortable coolness.

"Mo Xuan ..."

"Good, I promise you." Mo Xuan's voice was a little hoarse.

Pei Si Yan spread a smile, leaned down to hug Mo Xuan and said softly, "You are the first man I fell in love with, I will always love you all the time."

"Xiao Yan." Mo Xuan stretched out his hand, when his fingertips just touched Pei Si Yan's body, he retracted it lightning fast, and after further hesitation, he still hugged her tightly.

Pei Si Yan hugged Mo Xuan and once again had a feeling called happiness.

I really wanted to just keep hugging like this and not think about anything else.

"Cough-", a cough rang out from outside the door, the two of them immediately separated, Pei Si Yan looked over to see an official from the Ministry of Mandarins standing outside the threshold with an awkward look.

"What's wrong?" Pei Si Yan asked.

"My lord, it's getting late, is it time to depart? Also, the magistrate of this place is waiting outside for you, my lord, and would like to pay his respects."

"Good, I'll be right there." Pei Si Yan reached for her cane and stood up with Mo Xuan's assistance.

Mo Xuan wanted to just carry her over, but Pei Si Yan shook her head, clenched her fists, and said in a meaty voice, "Love gave me strength! I'm able to stand up now!"

Mo Xuan shook his head helplessly and had to go along with what she wanted.

In the main hall, as soon as a short and fat man saw that gorgeous dress of the beautiful woman came in, he immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed three times: "My humble servant Zhang Jixiang pays his respects to Lord Wuban, because of the important things to be organised in the county, he has missed the welcome, I hope that your honour will forgive me!"

"It's fine, you get up?" Pei Si Yan sat down on the tai shi chair, and then chatted with this county magistrate called Zhang Ji Xiang about some of the situation here, and then planned to leave to rush to the next big county city, I am afraid to be late and not be able to get there by nightfall without a place to stay.

A horse went mad, dragging the carriage with it, and the driver jumped out of the carriage and rolled to the side in terror. The horse lost the last of its control and charged even more recklessly towards the crowd in the distance, just then, a few parts of the carriage attached to the saddle loosened, and the carriage detached from the horse, and out of inertia slid a few feet away before tipping to the ground with a rumble and falling apart.

Mo Xuan made a timely move and flew away, pulling on the reins with a deadly grip, the crazy horse roared a few times and collapsed to the ground.

People's attention did not focus on subduing the crazy horse Mo Xuan, still gathered in unison in the scattered carriages, because - the carriages scattered out of the several wooden boxes are filled with gold, silver and jewellery, brilliant sunlight, jewellery refractive attractive light.

Pei Siyan was dumbfounded, even if he had to bring a lot of silver with him on this trip, but the officials of the Ministry of Mandarins brought silver bills, and there was no need for gold and silver jewellery at all, how could the dang dynastic officials take their jewellery into a pawn shop to exchange for first silver?

Where did this all come from?

Pei Siyan just reacted, hula and hula around the gathering of hundreds of civilians surrounded the door of the post station, all righteous indignation, hand manipulation of hoes and other things, tiger eye staring at the front of a group of people and so on.

"This is ..." Pei Siyan narrowed her eyes, keenly aware of the ominous.

"Dog officer, the collected treasures turned out to be used to bribe Lord Wuban!" A young man dressed as a scholar jumped out and loudly said on behalf of all the townspeople, "Exchange everything to us! Otherwise, even if we die, we will snatch back what originally belongs to us!"

Pei Siyan turned her head to Zhang Jixiang who kept wiping his sweat and coldly asked, "What's going on here?"

"Under, my humble servant doesn't know ...," Zhang Jixiang looked scared and kept trembling.

"You would not know?" Pei Si Yan coldly smiled, this matter is either Zhang magistrate in order to curry favour with her, secretly sent something, or - she felt that this scene is very familiar ... or someone deliberately framed!

"I knew that Wu Pan was not a good person! Look, how much of the scavenged people's wealth did she receive?"

The infuriated people cursed verbally.

"Aiya, it seems that Elder Master Feng must have been framed to death by this little girl!"

"The present Emperor must do right by those who died unjustly!"

...

Pei Siyan's face became more and more gloomy, her eyes coalesced with a terrible murderous aura, her fingers gradually bent into fists, if she could, she now really wanted to raise her sword again to less people ...

But the kill is not these people, but the corrupt officials around!

These people in the end to trap her to what kind of situation to be satisfied!
