Pei Yuanfeng was startled and turned to look at me: "What? You want to see those assassins?"

I nodded.

His brows furrowed, and the word "Chuan" was twisted between his brows. He looked at me silently for a long time, and finally slowly said: "Qingying, why didn't you listen to what I told you on the boat?

I told you a long time ago that you’d better not care about these things in Jiangnan, but you——”

Seeing his anxious look, I smiled faintly and interrupted him: "Your Majesty."

"..."

"I'm not doing this for anyone."

"..."

"I want to do these things because they are big things and will affect millions of people."

"..."

"I have been kidnapped by these assassins, and I have interacted with some of them. If I go, it may be more effective than your punishment."

Looking at my calm smile, Pei Yuanfeng seemed to be a little hesitant, so I added: "If I were lucky enough to find out something, it would be better than searching all over the city, and it would be better than using a knife or a gun, and blood would be spattered five steps away, don't you think?"

?"

Pei Yuanfeng looked at me in disbelief, frowning slightly, but I always just smiled faintly. After a long silence, he finally sighed and said: "Okay, I can arrange it. But not tonight, we all have a night banquet."

You have to go, I will help you make arrangements after tonight."

I nodded and looked up at the night sky in the distance, which was already illuminated by the lights of the city tower like day. Without saying anything, I followed Pei Yuanfeng and walked over.

Outside, there was a lot of noise, and the sound of people resounding throughout the sky.

The high tower was hung with all kinds of lanterns, swaying in the wind, and the bright red light illuminated the entire tower, as if shrouded in red clouds. The government held a banquet on the tower, and almost half of the tower was filled with lanterns.

All Yangzhou people rushed to the foot of the city tower. Looking around, they saw a sea of ​​people and a huge noise.

Everything seems to be a reflection of more than a year ago.

The difference is that this time, I am standing on it.

I am no longer like in the past, I can only look up from a distance below, nor am I in a state of desolation or embarrassment. Even those officials have long understood the special status of my so-called "palace maid". Although I will not be punished, the emperor's cronies treat me very much.

They were all polite, even King Qi was by my side. These people all have eyes that have been trained in a frying pan, so naturally they would not let go of these small details. When I walked over, they all looked at me.

He held his hand and smiled, very polite.

I was a little embarrassed and didn't talk to anyone. I turned around and looked at the bustling crowd under the tower. It was as crowded as the New Year, and the noise was deafening.

I lowered my head and looked down. I saw a crowd of people in the dark under the city tower. I then turned to look at the kneeling guards holding swords on the city tower. Pei Yuanfeng said softly: "Qingying, what are you looking at?"

"These are not all Habayashi guards."

"Hmm."

"Where are the people?"

"Half of them stayed in the state capital, and the other half were released. The emperor asked them to go find out the news. They must find out the clues about the assassin within three days."

I lowered my head and thought about it, then suddenly laughed and said, "I guess these people must have met Miss Nangong, right?"

Pei Yuanfeng froze for a moment, looked at me, and I smiled and said: "Although the emperor did not go south for this matter, this matter is always a hurdle in his heart." I thought, turned around and looked down again, and still

There were lights in the distance, and everywhere in sight was crowded with people. “I don’t know if Miss Nangong will be among these people.”

"Do you think so?"

"...will."

"Why?"

I smiled and looked back at him: "If I were Miss Nangong, I would also want to take a look."

"..."

"I guess he also wants to see Miss Nangong."

He is still the same person, but the emperor and the prince are not the same person. Besides...the relationship between them, the tangled thread of love leads from the capital to Shengjing, and stretches for thousands of miles south. After all, it cannot be cut off.

.

She should also want to meet Pei Yuanhao.

And Pei Yuanhao couldn't let her go no matter what...

Pei Yuanfeng kept looking at me quietly, his expression slowly becoming lonely. After a while, he said softly: "Qingying, when will you understand me like you understand him?"

My heart moved, and I turned to look at him. His young and handsome face looked slightly lost in the night.

Even those clear and bright eyes have a hint of sadness.

"..."

I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but my throat was a little dry and I couldn't speak. When he saw my helpless look, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Forget it, I'm just talking casually.

, don’t mind, leave me alone.”

"..."

"I...I just hope that you can be well."

Although he said this, the disappointment in his face could not deceive anyone. I was silent for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, some things are not what you think..."

He looked at me, a little helpless, but seemed to dare not ask further, as if he was afraid that the answer would hurt him even more. I thought about it and just smiled: "You will understand in the future."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a voice in the distance saying loudly:

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Suddenly, the surrounding officials became more energetic and stood solemnly.

I turned my head and saw a large group of people walking in front of me. The largest number were the guards and the officials and entourage the emperor had brought south. The familiar and tall figure in the center was Pei Yuanhao.

This is the first time the emperor has visited the south in person since the founding of the Chinese dynasty.

Regardless of what happened before and what will happen next, his journey south this time was indeed a huge shock to the south. The people went from fear to suspicion, from suspicion to consternation. At this time, they all raised their heads and looked at him.

Pei Yuanhao's stern face still didn't have much warmth, and his expression was as hard as a rock, with an unshakable fortitude. The bright yellow robe worn on him also revealed indescribable luxury and calmness, under the night

It is also the most dazzling place. The intimidating domineering air spreads and almost envelopes the entire tower. The people below were noisy at first, but when they really saw the emperor who was like a heavenly being coming to the world, he slowly walked away.

When we came out, everything became silent.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The whole world seemed to be silent for him.

I don’t know who took the lead, but the people slowly knelt down.

Looking at the black heads below, I slowly turned my head and looked at the man in the center of the crowd. He looked down at everything under his feet, looking down at all living beings like a god.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The huge cry rang out, and even the tower under his feet seemed to be trembling slightly. He gently raised his hand: "Pingsheng."

Just when he finished saying this, his face suddenly changed drastically. He stepped forward and stared down. His raised hand suddenly grabbed the wall stack, as if he wanted to crush the stones under his hand.

What happened?

Seeing him like this, the surrounding officials were startled. Pei Yuanfeng also hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, what's wrong——?"

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, he just stared down, pinching the wall with his fingers until they almost turned white.

I had already realized something in my heart, so I turned my head and looked down the tower.

Before the people under the city tower had time to stand up, it was completely dark, like endless darkness under the night, but Pei Yuanhao's eyes were staring into the distance, as if there were hands reaching out from his eyes.

, hold back the person who makes him lose his mind.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Suddenly, many people appeared from all directions and rushed towards where Pei Yuanhao looked. That was the road leading to the western suburbs. The crowd was crowded and airtight, but those people still rushed over as hard as they could.

What to catch urgently.

"What's going on?"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Get 'em!"

Noisy sounds rang out from a distance, and it seemed that someone was trying to arrest someone. The people on the road didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the posture of these people, they realized that it was the officials who were arresting people, and hurriedly retreated to the side.

Suddenly the crowd became a mess.

The officials were a little angry, frowning and were about to say something, but when I saw a familiar vague figure in the crowd in the distance, my expression suddenly changed.

"Beware of assassins!"

No, not an assassin!

Those people were not coming over at all, but after the chaos, they were leaving in the opposite direction!

The panicked crowd was like a raging ocean tide, so chaotic that it was about to overturn the entire Yangzhou. And in the chaotic crowd, I suddenly saw a figure. Although there was a panic around her, she was always spotless and as awe-inspiring as a fairy.
