I also looked at him, a little inexplicable.

However, after taking a look at me, he just said lightly: "He is an interesting person, the queen recommended him, and Lone also wanted him to be in charge of the hospital, but he refused, but he would just enter the palace from time to time and have a chat with Lone Huan." ”

Yes, is that so?

I looked at the uncertain look on his face, and I couldn't tell it for a while, but I felt that there was something hidden in his words.

Yao Lao ......

After thinking about it again, it suddenly understood.

Pei Yuanxiu is the son of Yao Lao.

In other words, Queen Yin and Yao Lao had an affair behind his back and gave birth to Pei Yuanxiu. I don't doubt that Pei Ji may have known about this matter before he fell into a coma, otherwise, with Pei Yuanxiu obviously being the crown prince and could inherit the identity of the great unification, why did he suddenly poison the emperor and look for the holy decree and jade seal everywhere, naturally because the emperor knew his life experience, it was impossible to pass on the throne to him.

And Pei Ji can't say these words.

As far as the emperor is concerned, this is undoubtedly a great shame, and the one who brought this great shame is his virtuous concubine, the later queen, and the other is the brother of his former beloved queen, and even, he canonized the child who had no royal blood at all as the crown prince and gave him the right to inherit the unification, which is not only a shame for him, but a shame for the entire royal family.

So, he can't mention it, not a word.

Thinking of this, I also quieted down.

The two of them were silent for a long time, until I heard him calm his heartbeat and breathing, and then I cautiously asked, "They're all gone, and then what?"

He looked up at me.

"Didn't you go looking for it?"

"Looking, of course. ”

"Didn't find it?"

"Didn't find it. ”

I heard that his tone was wrong, and I was about to say something, but I saw him say slowly: "I didn't find it, so I didn't look for it again." ”

“……”

Indeed, there is no looking again.

Even on that holy decree, he only asked the ministers in the court to "find" the emperor's eldest son Pei Yuanchen, without mentioning the child who was replaced by him and taken away.

I asked, "Why?"

He asked me, "Don't you understand?"

"......" seemed to stop me, but it was only for a moment, looking at his somewhat chaotic eyes, I immediately came back to my senses.

He is a person who once wanted to become a monk and escape the world, as the prince of the heavenly family, he can obviously inherit the unification, and he has such thoughts, which shows how disappointed he is with the royal family and the filth in the imperial city, but he has no choice and can't avoid it, but a child who has just been born not long ago is okay.

Moreover, this child was taken away by Yao Lao, the Xue family is in Jiangnan, it is powerful, and Yao Lao took him away, he must have thought that it was his nephew, since he took him away, he would definitely not let him be wronged, so Pei Ji acquiesced to this fact.

In fact, Huang Tianba has indeed become the pride of heaven in another sense, the former uncrowned king of Jiangnan, and people like Pei Yuanhao can't have the slightest upper hand in the face of him.

Thinking of this, I was full of words, but I couldn't say anything.

On the contrary, it was Pei Ji, who looked up at me, his eyes flashing: "You, do you know his whereabouts?"

I looked at him a little unexpectedly and nodded.

Pei Ji immediately asked, "Where is he?"

“……”

I looked at him for a long time before he said hesitantly: "He, in Shengjing." ”

"Katsukyo?"

This was obviously unexpected, but after thinking for a while, he chuckled softly again: "He went back." ”

“……”

"Shengjing, grassland, that's where he belongs. ”

“……”

"His mother has never been able to go back in his life, but he still went back. ”

When I thought back to what the Queen Mother had said to me, and when she was young, she rode her horses and galloped and chased and frolicked with the Iron Rider King carefree on the grassland, and my throat choked.

It turned out that she wasn't the only one thinking about it.

Pei Ji asked me again, "Did he go back and inherit the Iron Mask King?"

"......" I looked at him with a smile on his face, and there was joy in his eyes, it was a familiar look of joy, the same as when I first arrived in Jinling and knew that I was about to see Miaoyan, but I couldn't give him too good news.

I was silent and said softly, "No." ”

He was stunned: "Isn't it?"

I took a deep breath and said, "Emperor Taishang, this son of yours is a rare hero in the world, he is amazingly talented, righteous and thin, his character and character, among the thousands of people I know, none of them can speak the same language. Anyone who has seen him will be attracted to him......"

Pei Ji stared at me: "And then?"

"The person who is attracted to him will become his friend, his confidant, his lover...... And there are some who will do whatever it takes to get him. ”

He stared at me with wide eyes: "What did you say?!"

"Your son, his name is Huang Tianba, and he used to be the chief of the seventy-two water and land provinces in Jiangnan, but now, he has been under house arrest by Luo Shi, the iron halberd prince of Shengjing, for ten years. ”

Pei Ji looked at me in disbelief.

Obviously, what I said was beyond his comprehension, and he sat there stunned for a long time, thinking about what I said, and after a long time, he couldn't convince himself that it was a dream, and then he looked at me again, and asked in disbelief, "Rosh Katsukyo people?"

"He is the son of the Iron Arrow King. The former Eight Heavenly Kings are all old, and the person who is now in power in Shengjing is him. ”

He ...... He...... He put Lone's son under house arrest!?"

Pei Ji's eyes were red, the more he spoke, the paler his face became, before I could speak, he coughed hard all of a sudden, and the more he coughed, the more he coughed, and in the end he didn't even have the strength to support himself, the whole person lay on the side of the bed, and when I reacted to step forward to help him, I saw that on the ground, there was suddenly a little more scarlet!

I was stunned all of a sudden: "Emperor Taishang!"

At this moment, the door behind him was slammed open, and Yan Wuxian walked in from the outside, seeing this scene, he hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and helped him up, I saw that the corners of Pei Ji's mouth were all blood, and he reached out to cover his mouth, but he could also see the dazzling red from his fingers.

Yan Wuxian glanced at it and frowned, but he didn't say anything, he just didn't know where to take out a moment of red pill and stuff it into Pei Ji's mouth, barely let him breathe, and then helped him lie down.

I was frightened, standing next to me, looking at Pei Ji's face as pale as paper, unable to speak, and turned around and made a gesture to me, I slowly exited the room, and when I stood at the door, I was still a little restless.

After a long while, Yan Wuxian also walked out.

He closed the door and turned to look at me, "What did you just tell him?"

"I ......"

He shook his head, as if crying and laughing, and said, "Poor Dao still thinks that Miss Yan is a person who knows what is important, why doesn't she even know this?"

“……”

"He was in a coma for more than ten years before he woke up, do you have to pile up all the bad news in these two days to tell him?"

“……”

"If you make him sick again, where will you find such a person to help you calm the government and the opposition?"

“……”

I also know what I just told him, I was too impatient, not to mention that he was in a coma for more than ten years before he woke up, just to say that at his age, he had to suddenly face his son unconscious, a son under house arrest in Shengjing, and even Pei Yuanfeng's escape, which is not something that a father can bear.

I said softly, "It's me who is too impatient." ”

probably didn't realize that I would "admit my mistakes" so obediently, Yan Wuxian glanced at me again, then sighed lightly and said: "Poor Dao understands, Miss Yan must have a lot of words in her heart, and she has to say it, but in the future, it is better to solve the current matter first, and then talk about it." ”

I looked up at him and was silent for a moment before I came back to my senses in a trance—the matter at hand.

Yes, Pei Ji woke up, and it was true that he suppressed those people from the previous dynasty, but because he suppressed them, we relaxed a little and forgot about business.

What he should solve is how to help the prince Nianshen and deal with those government affairs.

That's the most important thing.

I said softly, "I understand, I will contact Jingren Palace." ”

Yan Wuxian nodded, turned around and pushed the door and walked in.

I stood outside the door and was silent for a while before turning around and walking out.

Outside, it's still dark.

Although the distant horizon faintly revealed a little fish belly white, but the whole sky was still dark blue, and even some faint flickering starlight could be seen, when I walked out of this palace, the wind was still cold with the night dew, and after a while, the corners of my skirt were wet with the dew on the ground.

In the corner, there is also the sound of crickets.

I walked out alone, the lantern under the eaves barely illuminated my way, and following the crimson light, I slowly walked towards Gyeongin Palace.

As I walked, I suddenly had a strange feeling.

It's so quiet.

Although it was probably not yet midnight, and it was indeed a time when many people were still resting, but even so, I still felt that the whole palace was too quiet, so quiet that there was no sound at all, only the wind blowing through the leaves, and the sound of the little insects in the corners.

At this moment, I had already walked outside the gate of Jingren Palace.

The feeling of silence was clearer, even abrupt.

I stood outside the palace gate, a door away, and it was well decorated, but when I looked at the long corridor leading into the distance, the darkness and silence, suddenly made me feel an indescribable sense of solemnity, as if something was about to rush out of the darkness.

At that moment, the door opened.
