When I said this, Pei Yuanhao had just sat on the chair, and Father-in-law Yu brought hot tea, and when he heard my words, his hand holding the lid and playing with the tea only stopped for a moment, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Then he said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"It was decided before, and it was time to leave at the end of this month. ”

"It's not that urgent. ”

"But—"

"Don't worry," he continued to blow the tea leaves floating on the tea, and said slowly, "I'll wait until I'm done dealing with the matter in front of me." ”

Done with what's in front of you?

I listened, my heart moved slightly, but I didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything to me again, only talked to Pei Ji for a while. It can be seen that the relationship between the two fathers and sons is not very good, in fact, there is a gap, but the scene can still be perfunctory, and after about half an hour, he got up and withdrew.

I also followed suit.

As soon as I went out, I saw him walking slowly and leisurely in front, naturally waiting for me, Yu Gonggong followed behind him, as soon as he saw me going out, he immediately beckoned me over, and then said to him with a smile: "Your Majesty, Miss Yan also came out." ”

"Hmm. ”

I hurried a few steps behind him, and then the Jade Father-in-law and the others stepped back.

Pei Yuanhao didn't look back, still walking in front with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "I heard that when I was cultivating in Yihua Palace before, she once brought someone to embarrass you?"

I paused for a moment before realizing that "she" was Fang Zhijun.

So he said: "It's not embarrassing, Concubine Li is worried about the safety of His Majesty, and is worried that I intend to harm His Majesty, so I brought someone to ask for someone." ”

"What do you think she is?"

“…… Not very smart, but sharp-toothed. ”

“……”

"She's young, so it's not surprising that she's in the limelight. ”

"That's not what I'm asking. ”

“……”

"Do you think she's such a fierce person?"

Potent?

That is, when she is pregnant, she also wants to jump into the lake and stubbornly end her life.

I fell silent.

Pei Yuanhao stopped, looked back at me, and I smiled reluctantly: "I haven't been in the palace for long, and I don't get along much with Concubine Li, I really don't know if she is a fierce person or not." ”

His face was slightly heavy, but he didn't lose his temper at me, he just turned around and continued to walk forward, I followed a few steps, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the westward journey is ......"

He said without looking back: "I said, after dealing with the matter in front of you, you will leave again." ”

"What did Your Majesty say about Concubine Li?"

“……”

"Concubine Li's first seven have also passed......"

"Today is her return, and my child. ”

As soon as I heard him say "child", my voice lowered, and after all, I didn't say anything more, but quietly followed him forward.

When I got to the place where it was time to diverge, I was hesitating to go to Yuhua Palace, but I heard him say, "Don't go back, come with me." ”

I asked, "Where to go?"

"Go to the lake and have a look. ”

“……”

Lakeside?

|

With a hint of doubt, I followed him to the lake.

This place is more remote than the place where we usually go to enjoy the flowers, and then it is close to the cold palace, and almost no people come.

After walking for a while, I didn't meet anyone.

The weather is getting hotter, although I don't dress like those concubines, and the sweat is not breathable, but at this time walking under the sun, I also feel hot and panicked, close to the lake, I immediately feel a cool breeze blowing from the middle of the lake, very comfortable and comfortable.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He glanced back at me, as if he sensed something, and gave Grandpa Yu a look.

After a while, we walked to a pavilion by the lake, and when we walked in, we happened to see two little eunuchs hurrying out, and then we saw that there were already some refreshments on the round table inside.

Just now, he asked people to prepare?

I was stunned, but he had already walked over and sat down, and then said, "Come and rest here." ”

I thanked me and walked in.

As soon as you sit down, you will feel the wind in the middle of the lake with water vapor, very cool and comfortable, this pavilion is very partial, both sides are tall willow trees, the hanging branches and leaves densely form a natural barrier, the pavilion is covered tightly, only the wind can blow in from the outside.

But what is he doing here?

And I glanced around, and immediately recognized that this place was not far from the place where Fang Zhijun was picked up that day.

Could it be that he's going to-

My mood suddenly became tense, and I looked at him cautiously, seeing that he only held a bowl of tea, but did not drink it, and only looked at the layers of ripples on the lake surface blown by the wind.

The wind never stopped, and gradually, the coolness became even worse, and my fingertips became a little cold.

At this time, I heard a little eunuch running not far away, running to the edge of the pavilion and saying something to Father-in-law Yu, who hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, someone is burning paper over there." ”

It is not possible to worship ghosts and gods at will in the palace, and it is even more forbidden to burn paper money, hearing what Father-in-law Yu said, Pei Yuanhao was not angry, but just lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Catch it." ”

Gonggong Yu got the order and hurriedly went out to command a few people.

The little eunuchs flew over, and after a while, they saw a group of people pushing and shoving, and they pushed a few people to the edge of the pavilion, and the eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, so they could only kowtow on the ground again and again, bumping and bumping: "Your Majesty, the emperor spares your life!"

"The emperor spared his life, and the slaves and maids didn't dare anymore. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

I listened to their voices begging for mercy, and when I looked down again, they were all people around Fang Zhijun.

Could it be that Pei Yuanhao came here to arrest them?

I couldn't help but glance back at him, but saw that he didn't look at them at all, only concentrating on drinking his own tea, while the father-in-law next to him stepped forward and pointed at them, "What were you doing over there? Who told you to go to the lake to burn paper money?!"

Those people were even more frightened, there was only one little palace maid, who served Fang Zhijun closely, and said boldly: "The emperor spares his life, the slaves and maids have only served Concubine Li Niangniang these days, she is gone, the slaves and maids are sad, today is the day when Concubine Li Niangniang returns, the slaves and maids dare to come here to burn some paper money for her, so that she can go at ease." ”

Yu Gonggong said angrily: "There are already rules in the palace, no private sacrifices are allowed, besides, Concubine Li has been buried, and you are still secretly burning paper money here, do you have a ghost in your heart?"

When those people heard this, they were immediately frightened, and said in horror: "No, father-in-law, we don't have it!"

"We're just here to do what we're all doing. ”

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

Father-in-law Yu looked at them coldly, at this time Pei Yuanhao put down the teacup, Father-in-law Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, these slaves, what do you think of it?"
