Like a bucket of cold water poured down on me, my mind was completely clear at this moment. Only then did I realize that the hand that had originally rejected him was actually grabbing his lapel. The gesture of wanting to reject him made me blush all of a sudden.

face.

I hurriedly let him go, but accidentally hit the door behind me, making a clanging sound.

Yang Yunhui outside the door also stopped and asked tentatively: "Third brother?"

Pei Yuanhao looked down at me, and his eyes calmed down at this moment. He cleared his throat, and his voice returned to its usual coldness when he spoke: "Come in."

Yang Yunhui opened the door and came in. The atmosphere in the room was already cold, but he looked at Pei Yuanhao and then at me, who was standing aside and even my ears were red, as if he felt something.

Before he could speak, Pei Yuanhao asked: "Where are the things?"

"Here, it was delivered here by the post manager himself."

"Oh?"

Pei Yuanhao reached out and took what he handed over and opened it. Inside was a thin piece of letter. When he unfolded it, there were only four simple words on it——

Hope you will come back soon.

Yang Jinqiao has traveled thousands of miles to send you these four words?

I watched from the side and couldn't help but feel confused. However, when Pei Yuanhao and Yang Yunhui saw these four words, they both fell silent. The two of them looked at each other and exchanged something silently with their eyes, as if there was an undercurrent surging.

Even if they didn't say anything, I had a vague guess that something was wrong.

After thinking about it, I planned to leave quietly, but as soon as I turned around, I heard Pei Yuanhao say: "Go down and get ready."

"Yes."

Yang Yunhui nodded and turned around and walked out. When he passed the door, he turned to look at me. His eyes were a bit complicated, but before I could understand them, Pei Yuanhao had already said from behind: "Pour tea."

It seems that he is not planning to let me leave yet.

No way, I could only bite my lower lip and go get him hot water to make tea. When I returned to the table, I found that he had taken out another piece of paper from somewhere else, holding it in both hands, between his eyebrows.

Watching with a frown.

I walked over and said softly: "Your Highness, please have some tea."

After what happened just now, I was a little afraid of approaching him, but at this time he seemed to have become a completely different person and no longer paid attention to me. When I put down the tea cup, my eyes couldn't help but look at the cup he was holding in his other hand.

The piece of paper is hanging on it.

The bright red seal immediately catches the eye, as well as the somewhat familiar handwriting.

Is that—the emperor’s secret edict?

During the years in the palace, especially the years in the Tibetan Pavilion, I also understood some of the trivial matters in the palace. The emperor's imperial edicts were often drafted by documents in the imperial study. Sometimes the emperor did not even need to write a pen, but directly affixed the seal.

He sent it out, but the secret edict was written by the emperor himself, and the seal was stamped in a very special way.

And such secret edicts usually refer to the most important military and state affairs.

But at this glance, I felt a thunderous shock in my heart. Even the hand holding the tea trembled, and the tea almost spilled.

Pei Yuanhao immediately turned his head and looked straight at me with his sharp eyes.

My face turned pale, and I hurriedly knelt down, lowered my head and said, "I acknowledge my sin."

"Did I say you were guilty?"

He said coldly, I glanced at him and lowered my head cautiously. I saw him slowly put the two pieces of paper aside, stretched out his hand to pull me up, and looked at me: "Did you see what was written in the secret edict?"
