Pei Xingjian met with Su Nanjin and pretended to leave with Acheng.However, during their conversation, Pei Xingjian inadvertently revealed the news that court officials would be punished if they were arrested.After Su Nanjin heard this, he immediately stopped Pei Xingjian from leaving and offered to interrogate Liuli together.Pei Xingjian readily agreed.

During the interrogation, Liuli cleverly pretended to be a newlywed woman named Yu'er who was abandoned by her timid husband.Su Nanjin angrily criticized this husband, and took the opportunity to propose that Liuli and Pei Xingjian go to Xizhou together.So, the two used this as an excuse to go together.

That night, Acheng was ordered by Pei Xingjian to bring Liuli her favorite food.At the same time, Ah Cheng drank with Su Nanjin.Pei Xingjian's character determines that he will definitely vent his anger on Liuli.Therefore, he pretended to be drunk and made a blunder, confiding a lot of heartfelt words to Su Nanjin, scolding Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji, and specifically reminding Su Nanjin not to learn from Yu Chengsu.In fact, this is to attract Su Nanjin to take the bait.

Pei Xingjian was sent back to his home by Acheng and others. As soon as he left, he immediately woke up.Ah Cheng told Pei Xingjian that Liuli had finished all the food he ordered today, but he was not allowed to tell him.Ah Cheng hoped that Pei Xingjian could know himself and the enemy, so he told the truth.

Pei Xingjian pretended to be drunk and came to Liuli's room just to show Bill that he was a womanizer who was not doing his job properly.Because he knew that Su Nanjin would have eyes and ears watching him.

After Pei Xingjian returned, he told Liuli what he said about pretending to be drunk.He believed that Su Nanjin would definitely write a memorial to impeach him. In this way, he would not only offend the prime minister, but also offend the saint.Liuli was worried that Pei Xingjian's failure to support Wu Zhaoyi had already angered the saint. If his words and deeds were impeached again this time, the saint might be even more angry.But Pei Xingjian told Liuli about his chat with the saint.It turned out that he had long wanted to come to Xizhou to make a long history and raise military supplies for the saints, so that he could conquer the Western Regions.Even if Chu Suiliang and others hadn't offended Wu Zhaoyi this time, he would still come to Xizhou.

Liuli still felt a little angry after hearing these things.Pei Xingjian promised her that no matter what happened in the future, he would discuss it with her and make progress together.He would never leave Liuli to face difficulties alone like before.However, there are some things that he will not tell Liuli, such as other people's privacy, and things that he is not 50% sure of.Liuli still had some grudges about the letter she had written to her wife before, but Pei Xingjian came up with a clever way to resolve her worries.

He playfully asked Liuli to take out the letter of release from his wife, claiming that if she could not take it out, then she would be the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, and no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future or what path she chose, he would walk with her firmly.Liuli was amused by his words and shed tears of emotion, finally letting go of past misunderstandings and conflicts.The two kissed each other affectionately and reestablished a deep relationship.

Pei Xingjian and his party soon arrived at Dunhuang City in Xizhou.Sima Qu Chongyu of Dunhuang led a group of people to greet them at the city gate and played cheerful Hu Jiaqu.He claimed to have come here on orders from his father to greet the distinguished guests.Pei Xingjian noticed that Qu Chongyu had a peach-like face, so he was nicknamed Yulang.Although he looked handsome, Pei Xingjian recognized him at a glance as the man he had met in the Mi Dalang Tavern.

Liuli, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the window, and Pei Xingjian hurriedly introduced the two to each other.Liuli suddenly became angry and blamed them for sending some concubines, thinking that they were dissing her for not taking good care of her.Pei Xingjian hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Liuli and said that he would never change his infatuation.Therefore, he naturally rejected those concubines.

Qu Chongyu turned around and saw Mu Sanlang. He quickly changed the subject and praised Mu Sanlang for his talent.Liuli didn't bother to bother, so she closed the window and ordered the carriage to enter the city.

After returning to her residence, Liuli was still angry and insisted on finding an opportunity to retaliate against Qu Chongyu for sending those women.But Pei Xingjian told Liuli to provoke Qu Chongyu as little as possible, because he had a deep mind and was one of the few people Pei Xingjian could not see through.Qu Chongyu once served as a hostage in Chang'an City. At that time, he didn't like women, but he liked young men.Later, after he got married and had a son, everyone thought he had restrained himself, but he claimed that he was lucky to have a son and would never have to face a woman again.It was precisely because of this unscrupulous behavior that the court relaxed its vigilance and allowed him to return to Xizhou.

At the reception banquet held by Qu Chongyu, Liuli specially dressed up as a Hu girl, looking beautiful and moving.She sat next to Pei Xingjian, looked back at Qu Chongyu who was drinking, and couldn't help but joke that his dress looked more like a peacock with its tail spread.Pei Xingjian couldn't help but be amused.
