23. Chapter 23

After the emperor took Xiao Yanzhi away, the atmosphere in the Wangyun Pavilion quickly cooled down, Xu Li retreated with a humble understanding, and only "his own people" were left in the Wangyun Pavilion.

Jiang Guifei's face turned cold, looked at Pei Ze and Xu Lishan and asked, "Didn't you two say that he was not to be afraid?" Didn't you say that His Majesty was not close to him? Is this called not being close? Did you see the look on His Majesty's face when he came?! ”

Pei Ze looked at the direction in which the emperor and Xiao Yanzhi left, and was silent.

Xu Lishan opened his mouth to explain: "My father just heard a report that the imperial brother did not go to General Jiang, and he was worried that something would happen to the imperial brother. ”

"Something?" Jiang Guifei sneered, "What can happen in this Taiji Palace?" What can happen on the road from Hongwenkan to Xuanwumen Urn Castle? Is this harem cannibalistic or will I eat people?! You have been following His Majesty for more than ten years, when have you ever seen his flustered face? ”

Xu Lishan frowned, reluctant to speak again.

What's the use of getting angry with him? If he could guess what his father was thinking, he wouldn't have had such a hard time every day. And no matter what the royal brother says, he is also the first son of his father, he hasn't seen him for 20 years, so it's easy to get together again, can he not be spoiled for a few days? The imperial brother seems to know how to please his father, and isn't it natural for the emperor to treat the imperial brother well? What is she angry about?

Seeing that Xu Lishan and Pei Ze didn't speak, Jiang Guifei was relieved, and said bitterly: "The place in the inner court is full of your father's people, even I can't go casually, you have to pay attention to everything." Now he is the eldest son of the righteous concubine, but if His Majesty has the heart, he can send him to the East Palace, do you want to let your years of hard work go to waste? ”

Xu Lishan replied coldly: "Erchen knows the measure. ”

"Do you know what to do?!" Hearing this, Jiang Guifei glared at Xu Lishan fiercely, "You have to make a quick decision when doing things, how many times have I told you?" You ......"

"Concubine Jiang, this is Wangyun Pavilion, not your Ziwei Palace." Pei Ze impatiently interrupted Jiang Guifei's repeated sermon countless times, and stared at Jiang Guifei coldly.

Jiang Guifei snorted, coughed dryly to hide her fear, and said: "I'm also for your good, anyway, you all understand the reason, no matter how much I say it, you will think I nag, but the eldest prince is by no means a good person, you can do it yourself." ”

After speaking, Jiang Guifei stood up, held the eunuch's hand, and left Wangyun Pavilion with a noble and dignified posture.

As soon as Jiang Guifei left, Xu Lishan's breath was relieved, and she was also a little panicked.

"Brother Pei, I think my father is really interested in the emperor."

"Yes." Pei Ze squinted into the distance, and only nodded lightly when he heard the words.

It is indeed a heart, and he has been fighting with him for nearly ten years, and he has never seen His Majesty worry about someone like this.

But what he didn't understand was that in just three days, what kind of method did Xiao Yanzhi use to make His Majesty really take him to heart? Even if he asked Xu Ren, he couldn't find a clue, although Xiao Yanzhi had spent half a day with His Majesty, but the real time alone should only be that lunch, and then there were people from the Shangfu Bureau and the Shangyi Bureau, and he also asked the people in these two places, Xiao Yanzhi's words and deeds were normal, and even as when they returned to Beijing, Xiao Yanzhi didn't speak at all unless necessary. So how exactly did he get the other eye on His Majesty?

"That'...... How do we do that? Do you want to have a good relationship with the royal brother? ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze turned to look at Xu Lishan and asked, "Why?" ”

Xu Lishan said: "Observing from a distance like now, I can't understand what the imperial brother is thinking at all, why don't you get closer and understand it?" And if you have a good relationship with your brother, maybe you can get closer to your father? ”

Pei Ze lowered his eyes and felt that Xu Lishan was rare to be smart.

He has also been thinking about whether he should get to know Xiao Yanzhi well, although the purpose is different from Xu Lishan, but since they have reached a consensus on the method, then he should be able to approach Xiao Yanzhi boldly without worrying about Xu Lishan's unnecessary suspicions, right?

Pei Ze raised his eyes to look at Xu Lishan, nodded and said, "That's fine, Your Majesty will also be happy to see the scene of brothers getting along in harmony." ”

"Then do it!" After getting Pei Ze's affirmation, Xu Lishan became more confident in the method he came up with, "Then I'm going back to the palace today, what about Brother Pei?" ”

Pei Ze shook his head and said, "I'll stay in the palace today." ”

Xu Lishan asked curiously, "Is there anything going on in the palace?" ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xu Lishan, and then looked into the distance: "Well, it's a little." ”

Xu Lishan pouted.

Looking at Brother Pei like this, it seems to be something important.

"In that case, I'll go back first, and I won't be able to get out after a while when the palace gate is locked."

"Yes." Pei Ze nodded, "Be careful on the road." ”

"Okay." As soon as the words fell, Xu Lishan got up, patted his ass and left.

When Xu Lishan walked without a shadow, Pei Ze took a step forward and walked towards Wanchun Palace, but when he arrived at Wanchun Palace, he was empty, Xiushui said that Xiao Yanzhi would live in Liangyi Hall tonight and not return to Wanchun Palace.

Pei Ze's eyebrows frowned, and he had no choice but to go back to the Daji Hall first.

As soon as he entered the Daji Palace, Pei Ze saw Xu Ren who had completed the monitoring task.

"Lord, aren't you going back to the palace today?" When he saw Pei Ze, Xu Ren was also surprised.

There is no urgent errand to be done in the palace today, why is the prince still in the palace?

"No return." Pei Ze replied casually, "Your Highness lives in the Liangyi Hall today. ”

At night, Xiao Yanzhi shouldn't be able to sleep again, right?

Xu Ren blinked and asked blankly, "Is this matter...... Does it have anything to do with the prince? ”

Pei Ze was stunned, turned his head and glared at Xu Ren before entering the main house in the backyard.

Xu Ren blinked again, completely unable to understand why he was stared at.

Does the prince care too much about the eldest prince? I spent the night with the eldest prince in the prince's bedroom before. Although it is true that they brought people back, they don't need to be responsible for the end, right? Is their prince so much nosy?

Could it be that I have been tracking for a year and getting used to it, so I always want to know the whereabouts of the eldest prince? Or is it because I can't catch up this year, so I have an inexplicable interest and attachment to the eldest prince? Kindness...... He was going back to the palace to discuss this issue with Li An in depth.

After having dinner in the Daji Palace, Pei Ze waited until the hour before leaving the Daji Palace, evaded the patrol guards along the way, sneaked into the Daji Palace, and went straight to the east wing of the Daji Palace.

The emperor lives in the main house of the Liangyi Palace, and the west wing is divided into several rooms, which are for Zhao Kang and other palace people who are waiting for the emperor closely, so Xiao Yanzhi, who stays in the Liangyi Palace, can only live in the east wing.

Pei Ze stood at the door of the east wing and gently pushed the door, but he couldn't push it open, thinking that Xiao Yanzhi should be awake, so he knocked on the door.

"Who?" Sure enough, Xiao Yanzhi's low-pitched inquiry voice came from the room.

"It's me, Pei Ze."

As soon as Pei Ze's words fell, he heard hurried footsteps in the house, and the door of the east wing was slammed open, and before Pei Ze could see the situation clearly, he was dragged in by the arm.

Xiao Yanzhi quickly looked around the courtyard outside the door, and after confirming that there was no one, he closed the door and turned to stare at Pei Ze.

"Exploring the Liangyi Hall at night, are you dying?"
