How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 614: Come Here, Let Me Hold You

Pei Shu’er shook her head and took out a Jade Pendant.

"Empress, do you know this item?"

When Empress Xiao saw that Jade Pendant, she was completely stunned, unable to believe it. She walked over, took the Jade Pendant from Pei Shu’er’s hands, and after seeing the "Xiao" character on it, she finally spoke.

"Did my brother give this to you?"

This Jade Pendant, only she and Xiao Shen possess it, but Xiao Shen is rather indifferent, valuing no one.

How could he possibly give it to Pei Shu’er?

Pei Shu’er nodded, "That’s right, Empress may not know, I saved your mother."

This, Xiao Shen had mentioned to Empress Xiao before, but due to the sensitivity of the Prince Zhan Mansion, she could only provide some conveniences within her power.

Pei Shu’er whispered, "Empress, do you wish to avenge the Crown Prince?"

Hate filled Empress Xiao’s eyes.

"Of course."

Yan Hengyin was ruthless to such an extent, the Crown Prince was already killed by Yan Hengyin.

Though the methods used left no trace, any observant person could tell, it was Yan Hengyin’s doing.

Furthermore, the other princes are also falling victim one after another.

The Emperor originally had seventeen princes, favored ones along with those not favored.

But now, most of the favored ones are dead, and not many of the unfavored ones are left either.

Yan Huan Yu has even been confined.

However, Pei Shu’er knows that Yan Huan Yu shouldn’t face any calamity in the short term.

As the male lead, even if Yan Hengyin wanted to do something to him, it would be quite difficult.

Besides, Yan Huan Yu is a prince known among the commoners.

If not for his closeness with the Empress and Crown Prince, he actually poses no real threat.

Empress Xiao said, "What do you intend to do?"

Pei Shu’er said, "Let’s join forces, Empress, you surely can’t watch silently as the Crown Prince’s murderer sits securely on the dragon throne."

Seeing Empress Xiao remain silent, Pei Shu’er gently encouraged.

"More importantly, if we don’t join forces now, once Yan Hengyin’s throne stabilizes, it will be too late for revenge."

Empress Xiao nodded, visibly more dejected.

A hint of resignation in her demeanor.

Pei Shu’er said, "Moreover, Empress, do you have any message you’d like me to convey?"

This is the purpose of Pei Shu’er’s visit.

If no letter is acquired, there’ll be no token, making collaboration with the Xiao Family impossible.

Empress Xiao scrutinized Pei Shu’er for a long while before speaking.

"I’ll write a letter, if possible, hand it to Xiao Shen, have him assist the War King."

Pei Shu’er nodded, took Empress Xiao’s letter, and left.

During her visit to Empress Xiao’s palace, she stayed for a full two hours, Yan Hengyin perhaps has become resistant by now.

On her return, she saw that the Ren Shan Palace was in an uproar.

Yan Hengyin was zealously searching for her, several palace maids had been killed, blood staining the Ren Shan Palace.

Evidently, those palace maids not only failed to convince Yan Hengyin, but they also angered him.

Yan Hengyin’s face was ashen, his entire aura frighteningly brooding.

Many eunuchs and palace maids shivered just by looking at him.

Pei Shu’er glanced at the kitchen, which hadn’t been searched, and placed the night clothes into the space, then went to the kitchen to cook.

She took out the flour and started making cakes.

When the kitchen door was violently pushed open, Pei Shu’er hurriedly turned to see Yan Hengyin’s cold face.

On seeing Pei Shu’er, Yan Hengyin’s expression softened, and due to the shock, his face was somewhat vacant, yet there was a bit of... joy at finding what was lost.

"Why are you here?"

Pei Shu’er maintained a calm demeanor, avoiding anything too unusual, lest it arouse Yan Hengyin’s suspicion.

"Did the Emperor not visit my palace? And I see the Emperor quite enjoys my cakes, I’ll make some for you to take back."

Yan Hengyin’s expression eased slightly, he looked at Pei Shu’er for a moment before speaking.

"Beloved Consort, you need not exhaust yourself like this, come with me to rest?"

Pei Shu’er said, "I’m almost done."

But Yan Hengyin was very assertive, pointing to a few cooks beside him.

When Pei Shu’er placed the cakes on the steamer, she instructed the cooks.

"After two incense sticks’ time, it’ll be ready, then deliver them to the room."

Yan Hengyin walked side by side with Pei Shu’er, smelling the floral scent from her, his agitation greatly eased.

His gaze toward Pei Shu’er carried unrecognized tenderness.

Only upon reaching the room did Yan Hengyin speak, "In the future, before you go anywhere, let me know."

Pei Shu’er did not respond, she simply poured Yan Hengyin a cup of tea.

Yan Hengyin wasn’t so easily brushed off, he looked at Pei Shu’er.

"Speak."

Pei Shu’er said, "Emperor, if you keep such a close eye on me, I will collapse under the strain."

Yan Hengyin felt it was still insufficient, he was worried that one day he might wake up to find Pei Shu’er gone.

He grasped Pei Shu’er’s chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.

Pei Shu’er smiled, "Emperor, is there any other request? Tang Zan already knows I am dead, and the whole world knows I am a dead person."

"Moreover, Emperor, I am now the Noble Princess Consort Xu, carrying this identity, where else can I go?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hengyin instantly felt relieved, he said, "Tonight, may I stay in your palace?"

Pei Shu’er said nothing, since Yan Hengyin wished to spend the night, he might as well stay.

At worst, she could increase the dosage of the drug.

Besides, this palace has many rooms.

When Tang Zan arrived, and Pei Shu’er saw him in the garden, she brought him to a side chamber.

She couldn’t let Tang Zan see Yan Hengyin, otherwise he would be upset.

Pei Shu’er couldn’t bear to see Tang Zan upset.

Tang Zan also couldn’t stand seeing Pei Shu’er continue to maneuver in the palace with Yan Hengyin, so it was better not to let Tang Zan know.

To prevent mutual heartache.

Tang Zan didn’t get a chance to speak before the two figures flashed into the space.

Tang Zan asked, "What’s going on?"

Pei Shu’er smiled and produced a letter.

"This is the letter from Empress Xiao to Xiao Shen."

At that time, she stood by watching Empress Xiao write. The gist of the letter was to have Xiao Shen support the War King, avenge the Crown Prince, and rescue Yan Huan Yu.

Tang Zan nodded, stroking Pei Shu’er’s hair.

"The Princess Consort worked hard."

Pei Shu’er nestled into Tang Zan’s embrace.

"I’m not tired at all."

Tang Zan left early, and Pei Shu’er made some cakes for Tang Zan to take.

The two snugly stayed in the space for a long time, Tang Zan reluctant to leave.

Finally, he said, "Come here, let me hold you."
