The maid glanced at me and frowned slightly: "Of course it is the Emperor."

Pei Yuanhao passed me on?

My heart moved slightly. Even Shuixiu was a little surprised. She walked over carefully and held my arm, blinking at me with her big eyes. I thought about it and asked again: "The emperor is talking to the adults."

Things, or——"

The maid frowned again, but worried about my identity, she still managed to smile and said: "Girl, if I tell you to go over there, go quickly. This is the emperor's order."

When she said this, Shuixiu became more and more worried. She grabbed my arm and whispered: "Girl, do you want me to tell the prince?"

I thought about it, smiled lightly and patted her hand: "It's okay, I'll be right back."

After saying that, I tidied up my appearance and walked out. The maid led the way. In fact, I am also familiar with the road here. I don’t know how many times I walked here before, so when she took me onto the small bridge, I looked at

I also understood the exquisite inner courtyard not far away.

When she reached the gate, the maid called inside and then withdrew.

The door was closed tightly, and there was no sound inside. I could only see the flickering light of the candlelight reflecting on the window, and I could vaguely see the familiar outline of the figure inside. I walked up the steps gently and reached out to push the door open.

He was sitting at the table when he heard the door open and looked up at me.

My eyes were as light as before, so light that they seemed to be able to see through my body and see far away places. I stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty..."

"Undress me."

"..."

I raised my head and glanced at him. He was still wearing a heavy dragon robe. When he got off the boat today, I heard that he also summoned officials from all levels of Yangzhou Prefecture. They just talked in the meeting cabinet for nearly two hours.

There is a dinner at the state capital tonight, and of course you can't wear this robe to it. There is another set hanging on the shelf.

When I was in the capital, I had already been relegated to the cold palace, and I was still a guilty person. I shouldn't have done this, but I didn't say anything and walked over obediently. He stood up and spread his arms slightly.

, I stepped forward and untied his clothes.

The room is very quiet.

The heavy robes were taken off one by one. Except for the rustling sound of the fabric being rubbed, the room was so quiet that there was nothing, not even breathing.

In the end, he only had a thin piece of clothing left on him. When the belt was loosened and the cuffs fell off, I could see the numerous scars on his wrists.

New wounds and old scars crisscrossed his wrists, which looked a bit shocking. Even though they had scabbed, the old wounds had already turned into faint white scars, but it seemed that the bright red color at that time could still be felt, and some

Dazzling.

Feeling that my gaze lingered a little longer, he lowered his head and glanced at me.

The eyes are as dark as ever, but they are so dark that people are a little scared.

I gently put down his hand, turned around and picked up another underwear from the hanger and put it on for him. Then I stood in front of him and fastened the buttons on my chest. He didn't say anything, just looked down at me.
p>

Silence, once it lasts for a long time, will become like a confrontation.

I didn't speak, and neither did he. But we couldn't let it go on like this. After a long silence, I said it first: "When I came from the dock, I saw that the Huisheng Medicine Store was closed."

He still looked at me coldly.

"When the emperor left, did he send someone to keep an eye on them?"

"..." He seemed to take a deep breath, and then exhaled it for a long time. He felt the familiar breath lingering on the tip of his nose. He said in a low voice: "Although I sent someone to keep an eye on me, I didn't.

."

He was not angry. He thought that the people in Huisheng Pharmacy were not that easy to deal with. Moreover, when Huang Tianba came to Beijing to help him seize the heir, it must have made him relax his vigilance towards the south to a certain extent. Besides, the people in that sect

What other methods are there? I'm afraid they are very deep. The government and the people in the court have been unable to suppress them for so long. It's not surprising that they can't keep a close eye on them.

However, Huisheng Pharmacy is the only branch of the sect that we know of. If this line is broken, it will be difficult to find.

If this drags on, if the people in Shengjing really reach an agreement with the Changming Sect, the impact on the imperial court can be imagined.

I frowned slightly and asked, "Are there any other clues here in the south?"

He looked down at me.

My heart skipped a beat when he saw me, and I realized what I had just said, so I pursed my lips, lowered my eyes and continued to button the buttons on his chest, slowly buttoning the last button on his throat, feeling his

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke: "Huang Tianba, where are you?"

"..."

My fingers trembled slightly, and the button slipped through the buttonhole.

It turns out that this is the reason why he came to me.

I lowered my head, continued to pull the belt over and tied it for him, and said calmly: "This slave doesn't know."

"..." He frowned.

"When he left, he had already left Huisheng Pharmacy and lost contact with the people here. I believe that he will not return to a place that he does not agree with and do things that he does not want to do."

"How can he do it so brilliantly?"

"You should stay away from people and places where you don't need to hang out."

His eyes widened slightly, I raised my eyebrows, and gently let go of my hand from his throat, but before I could lower it, he suddenly reached out and grabbed my finger.

He grabbed it hard, and I could feel the rough skin on his palm rubbing my fingertips, which were hot and a little painful.

I frowned and looked up at him.

"How much can you do?"

……

When the door was opened with a bang, he and I were startled. When we looked back, we saw Pei Yuanfeng standing at the door with a nervous expression. When we saw him sitting at the table and me standing across the table,

Only then did the panic fade away a little.

"Your Majesty..."

"Yuanfeng, you are getting more and more outrageous!"

He didn't seem to be angry, but his tone of voice was not gentle either. Pei Yuanfeng looked at me again, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Wei Chen - Wei Chen is just worried."

"Are you worried?" Pei Yuanhao stood up and looked at him: "Aren't you worried about her, or are you worried about me?"

"..."

"Yuanfeng, even if I said those words, she is still my woman now!"

Pei Yuanfeng looked at me again, lowered his head and slowly knelt down: "Wei Chen admits his guilt."

I stood aside with my head lowered and said nothing. Pei Yuanhao walked up to him and looked down at him for a while, then he waved his sleeves heavily and walked out.

The ministers of the state capital were already waiting outside. Perhaps because they couldn't believe that Prince Qi would just barge in, and they didn't know what would happen inside, they all stood very far away, with their heads lowered cautiously.

Seeing Pei Yuanhao going out, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

After they were all gone, I walked over to Pei Yuanfeng. He stood up quickly, grabbed my arm with one hand and said nervously: "Qingying, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"He, Your Majesty, why did he ask you to come here?"

I smiled: "It's really okay, I'm just serving the emperor and dressing up."

"Get dressed? Why——call you?"

I saw that his face seemed a little unhappy and nervous, and I sighed softly: "Your Majesty, he is the emperor!"

What he did just now was really too dangerous, and he completely exceeded the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. Fortunately, although Pei Yuanhao has a bad temper, he still has brotherly feelings for him. Otherwise, with his temper, something would have happened a long time ago.<

/p>

At this time, he and I seemed to have returned to the time when we first met. In my eyes, he was still the big boy who was too reckless and didn't know what good or bad things were. Listening to my lecture tone, he was slightly frustrated and said: "

I'm just afraid that you'll be locked up in the cold palace again. I really don't want to see you again."

I looked up at him, feeling a little heavy in my heart. I recalled the time when he saw me in the cold palace. Although I couldn't see myself, I could still imagine the tragedy at that time. I had really stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.

Same, maybe the way I coughed up blood at that time really frightened him, so even the slightest movement would make him panic.

I smiled and patted the back of his hand: "It's okay."

"..."

"Since you came back from Shengjing well and didn't make me worry, I won't let anything happen to me and make you worry."

He looked at me and nodded vigorously.

I walked out with him. As soon as I went out, I saw that the originally gloomy sky in the distance was reflected brightly. It seemed that there was another world that never turns dark on the other side of the tower. I said: "Is the night banquet tonight over there?

?"

"Well, the emperor ordered us to have fun with the people. It seems that he thinks the same as you."

I know he is referring to what I said before, if it is Nangong Lizhu who goes south, then the killer in the south will not be easily activated. There seems to be an indescribable hidden understanding between Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu. Although
To be continued...
