Chapter 243: Chapter 244 Pei Huaian is Not Simple
Chapter 243 -244 Pei Huaian is Not Simple
Just as the master and servant were speaking, a maid came to report that the Second Prince was seeking an audience.
“Let him in.”
“Yes.”
The young maid left and quickly returned with the Second Prince entering the palace.
Pei Chengye bowed, “Your son has come to see the Empress Mother.”
“Hmm, come over and sit,” the Empress said, pointing to the seat opposite hers with her armored fingers.
“Thank you, Empress Mother.” Pei Chengye walked over, lifted his robe, and sat down.
The Empress directly asked, “What do you think about Pei Huaian’s plot against Chu Yu?”
“What’s there to fuss about? Pei Huaian’s character has always been unpredictable. Perhaps it’s because Chu Yu had offended him, so he decided to interfere a bit,” Pei Chengye said with disdain.
He had never thought highly of Pei Huaian from the start, considering him to be nothing more than a profligate. Even if he had some good plans, was he not still the same irresponsible sort?
Even the tasks his father, the Emperor, had given him were not performed well. Recently, he had even been put under house arrest in his mansion, which all indicated that he was not a clever man.
Otherwise, why would he publicly assassinate an Imperial Court Official before the very eyes of the masses?
“This palace feels that the matter is not so simple,” the Empress always suspected there was more to it.
Pei Chengye continued, “There’s something I find quite strange. Pei Huaian seems to protect Doctor Shao too well, so much so that it arouses suspicion.”
“She’s just a cast-off woman, nothing to be afraid of.”
“I once suspected that Doctor Shao’s child was Pei Huaian’s, but the tests I conducted turned out otherwise.”
Pei Chengye didn’t know how to describe his feelings; he was initially overjoyed, thinking he could catch Pei Huaian’s weakness, but the final results were a big surprise.
He had used the blood of Pei Huaian and Doctor Shao’s child for the test, and the results showed no blood relation, meaning they were not father and son. So, whose child was Doctor Shao’s? Truly that of Chu Yu?
“Enough, you should now focus on the Emperor. Show filial piety before him, demonstrate the responsibility of the Crown Prince in the former court, and also beware of Pei Huaian,” the Empress reiterated with concern, as if afraid she might have missed something.
Pei Chengye, however, appeared quite indifferent, “Your son understands.”
Looking at the sky outside, the Empress continued, “Although Chu Yu took the blame for the corruption case, you must be more careful and cautious in your future dealings. Make sure not to give anyone anything to hold against you.”
“Empress Mother, rest assured. Your son will shoulder the responsibilities that he should and will not disappoint you,” Pei Chengye solemnly promised.
Yet, in his heart, he was secretly thinking about which girl from the Drunken Flower Pavilion was the prettiest.
The Empress, still worried, gave a few more instructions, sighed, and shook her head at the distracted person, then waved her hand to dismiss him.
Pei Chengye, as if granted amnesty, bowed and hurriedly left.

The nanny, seeing the Empress looking weary, walked behind her and gently massaged her shoulders.
“The Empress need not worry so much, the Second Prince may naturally be somewhat playful, but he has completed every task you assigned him well.”
“Yes, that’s the only thing that offers me some relief,” the Empress sighed helplessly, knowing her own son well.
…
Meanwhile, Pei Huaian escorted Shao He back to her residence, but he was worried the entire way, seemingly very concerned about the Emperor’s current illness.
Seeing the worried look on his face, Shao He comforted him, “You don’t need to be like this. Even if it really is an aneurysm, surgery is the solution, and there’s about an eighty percent chance of success.”
That was her best prognosis; in this era where technology wasn’t advanced, having an eighty percent chance was quite remarkable.
Shao He, seeing the silent person, told him, “Tomorrow, send someone to Anji Hall to move the equipment, and I’ll bring Yun Qian to assist.”
Pei Huaian, hearing her mention Yun Qian, couldn’t help feeling a tinge of jealousy. He wanted to offer his help to Shao He, but realizing he knew nothing about medical procedures, he reluctantly abandoned the idea.
The carriage just stopped, and Shao He got out first. Pei Huaian followed, intending to go home with her, but before he could even enter the gate, he found himself locked out.
“Shao He, you…”
“It is already late, and there’s important work tomorrow. I need to rest well,” Shao He interrupted him and righteously provided a reason.
Pei Huaian touched his nose, his mind drifting back to the kiss from the previous day.
A loud slam of the door interrupted his thoughts.
In the end, Pei Huaian could only return to the neighboring courtyard, leaning against a big tree and gazing toward Shao He’s residence.
Ah Mo, seeing the man who had once again turned into a lovesick figure, couldn’t help but marvel at Doctor Shao’s great allure.
The next morning, as Shao He directed Pei Huaian to move the equipment, she reminded him to be extra careful.
At that moment, a person dressed in black approached, “I hear the lady here has the paternity test papers?”
Shao He slightly lifted her eyes to glance at him and responded coldly, “No.”
“How can there be none? I am willing to pay a high price for them, you name it.”
“I said there are none,” Shao He repeated impatiently.
She thought this person was not simple, only the princes who were at Pei Huaian’s Mansion at the time would know of this matter.
Perhaps the person intended to use them against her and her child. A few circulated papers wouldn’t be an issue, but she definitely couldn’t sell any more from now on.
