I looked at the delicate orchid button in my palm and was slightly startled, then I heard his voice ringing in my ears——

"It's your reward."

"..."

It turns out that it is a reward.

This is not a rare thing in the palace. In the past, when the emperor was happy, he would also reward the maids and eunuchs around him. But why not silk and satin, or directly reward pieces of silver like the emperor and other empresses, but this button

?

Although I was confused, I still reached out and twisted it.

Because it was pinched by his hand, it still had a little warmth, so I held it in my hand and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

"Take it well."

Listening to these four words said in his deep voice, I didn't know why my heart moved. I was about to look up at him. At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door. When I looked up, I saw only a guard.

Walking over quickly, I recognized at a glance that he was the man who had a fierce fight with the assassin last night and followed him away. He walked to the door and knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Third Highness."

Pei Yuanhao turned to look at him and said calmly: "Say."

"My subordinates followed the assassins, killing one person and wounding three others, but when they were in the west of the city——"

"How?"

"Follow, lost."

When he said this, the man's voice obviously trembled.

My heart also trembled when I heard that when working in the royal family, once the task fails, it is dereliction of duty, especially a vicious incident such as the third prince's robbery and murder, which can make the magistrate of Yangzhou come to intercede with me, a little palace maid, and these guards,

I'm just afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll lose my head.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "Go down."

The man raised his head and looked at Pei Yuanhao in astonishment. Apparently he didn't expect that the matter would be resolved so easily. Seeing that Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything else, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After saying that, he stood up and left feeling relieved.

I sat there, and I was a little confused as to why Pei Yuanhao was so easy to talk to this time. Moreover, if the assassin could not be caught, he would still be very dangerous in Yangzhou, and there were no clues to trace.

Just when I was puzzled, there was a sudden gust of wind outside the window. When I looked up, I saw a figure standing outside the window, but he did not come in. He only bowed.

"See His Highness the Third Highness."

The time I spent in the palace was not short. I suddenly understood that this was the Shadow Guard, the most mysterious and powerful elite among the royal guards. They always only perform difficult and secretive tasks and never initiate them easily.

, I didn’t expect that Pei Yuanhao would take them with him when he went south this time!

"Say it."

"My subordinates were ordered to ambush around the city. Last night, the brothers in the west of the city intercepted the assassin and followed him."

I looked at Pei Yuanhao. He was still standing there calmly, without any emotion. It seemed that it was dangerous to enter Yangzhou City this time. Shadow guards were arranged around the city in advance. However, because of the guard's negligence, the shadow guard was allowed to leave.

The startup is more hidden!

What a thoughtful thought!

I looked up at the mountain-like figure, and felt the orchid buttons in my palms getting hot.

Pei Yuanhao asked: "What results did you get?"

"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates followed the assassin back to the eastern suburbs and found that the assassin disappeared behind the long street to the west of Tongque Terrace."
