Pei Ze still didn't tell Xiao Yanzhi about Xu Liqian, but it was rare to tell a lot of jokes, which amused Xiao Yanzhi all the way, and laughed so much that Xiao Yanzhi only felt that his ribs hurt even more.

Finally entered the palace, Zhao Kang had already waited at the door of the Liangyi Gate in person, as soon as he saw Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi, he led the two directly to the Wanchun Palace, at that time, the emperor and the five imperial doctors of the Imperial Physician Department were already waiting in the Wanchun Palace, and Li An was also wearing an official uniform that had never been worn in front of Xiao Yanzhi, standing quietly in the hall of the Wanchun Palace.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was carried into the door by Pei Ze, the emperor bounced up from his seat and rushed to Xiao Yanzhi with a panicked face.

"What's going on? That son of a son hurt you?! ”

Looking at the emperor's panicked and angry expression, Xiao Yanxin smiled warmly and said, "Father, the son is fine, the son is just too lazy to leave." ”

Hearing this, the emperor glanced up at Pei Ze, and saw that Pei Ze nodded slightly, so he put down half of his heart and scolded with a smile: "You kid!" It's not a woman, why do you let people hold it when you're tired? ”

However, the smile on the emperor's face was also very unnatural.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Anyway, it's dark, and no one can see it." ”

The emperor glared at Xiao Yan for a moment, and then said to Pei Ze and the imperial doctors, "Send him to the room quickly." You go and give the King of Shu a good examination to see where the King of Shu is injured! ”

"Yes!"

Pei Ze immediately carried Xiao Yanzhi into the bedroom, and the five imperial doctors also trotted all the way behind.

As soon as he was put on the bed, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly grabbed Pei Ze's shoulder, pulled Pei Ze to him, and asked in a low voice: "You just said that my father arranged someone to monitor me, so what is the matter ......between you and me?"

Suddenly pulled by Xiao Yanzhi like this, Pei Ze thought what was wrong with him, and he was so frightened that he felt a sigh in his heart, but when he heard such a question, Pei Ze immediately laughed.

"Don't worry, they can't enter the Wucheng Palace."

His Wucheng Palace, whether it is open or secret, is a place where outsiders can't enter, and only leaves an eyeliner in the mansion that His Majesty originally □□ to go, but that eyeliner has also been subdued by him, and the information passed to His Majesty is what he wants His Majesty to know. At first, it was because he trusted him that he allowed him to manage the Wucheng Palace, and later it was because Xiao Yanzhi was there that His Majesty repeatedly let him go, otherwise according to His Majesty's temperament, he would have had no good life.

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze suspiciously.

Pei Ze nodded firmly, raised his hand and patted Xiao Yanzhi's forehead again, and then turned around and left the bedroom.

"陛xià." Out of the bedroom, Pei Ze knelt in front of the emperor and said in a deep voice, "It was the negligence of the ministers that made the King of Shu have this difficulty. ”

The emperor bent down slightly and patted Pei Ze's shoulder, and sighed: "I don't blame you, blame me, it's my inconsiderate consideration." The long history of your house has already told me everything that happened, and I still want to thank you, but fortunately you reacted quickly, otherwise you would have been taken away by that son of a. Get up. ”

"Thank you." Pei Ze stood up according to his words, "Your Majesty, King Wu, he ......"

The emperor sat back in his previous seat, and when he heard Pei Ze mention Xu Liqian, he snorted coldly, and said: "I missaw the evil son, I just led the army guard to report, and the evil son led people to kill the city gate guards and escaped, and I have ordered the Yulin army to chase after me." I still have things to do for you. ”

"Your Majesty commands." Pei Ze knelt down again.

The emperor looked at the candle flame not far away for a moment, and then picked up a book from the small table at hand and handed it to Pei Ze, and then firmly ordered: "No one from here, along with his family, will be left." Be sure to get things done before dawn. ”

As soon as he heard this order, Pei Ze's heart was shocked, and he took a look at it, Pei Ze hesitated.

It's easy to kill these people, but these people are only suspected by His Majesty because they are involved in the Yun family, and they originally had to wait for the verification to make a decision, will they be suspected of indiscriminately killing innocents if they do it now? And they should be with their families and descendants......

Pei Ze raised his head and looked at the emperor puzzled.

Seeing the hesitation in Pei Ze's eyes, the emperor sighed and said: "Since I became this emperor, it is because I have made too many decisions that women are benevolent that the situation in the court has become what it is now. If he could have taken advantage of the momentum of winning the battle to wash the court in one breath, there would be no such difficulty today.

Everything has a result, there must be a reason, this is the punishment of not being ruthless. Now it is wise to kill in vain, this notoriety and this blood debt have been bought. I don't have much time left to clear the way for you to clear the way. ”

"Majesty?" During this period of time, Pei Ze felt that the emperor's style was abnormal, and listening to the emperor's words again, Pei Ze's heart felt a little uneasy.

"Go," the Emperor tossed Pei Ze a Darkiron Token and said, "There is not much time left until dawn." ”

“…… Be. Pei Ze clenched his fists and arched his hands, then turned around and strode away.

Li An also left with Pei Ze.

The Emperor sat there for a while, then got up and walked slowly into his bedchamber.

"How is the injury of the King of Shu?"

Except for the imperial doctor who was bandaging Xiao Yanzhi's wounds, the other four imperial doctors immediately turned around and knelt down facing the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the sword wound on the body of the King of Shu is not a big problem, but the bone cracks caused by multiple punches and kicks take time to recuperate. ”

"Multiple bone cracks?" As soon as he heard this diagnosis from the imperial doctor, the emperor's face turned cold, "How many?" ”

The imperial doctors looked at each other in fear, and then one of them replied boldly: "Your Majesty, two of the ribs of the King of Shu are almost broken, and one is probably a slight crack, and there is a thinner leg bone in the lower leg of the right leg that is broken. ”

This injury that can be healed as long as he recuperates is not a serious injury in the eyes of the imperial doctors, if it is placed on the emperor who has fought on the battlefield for several years, the emperor does not think it is a serious injury, but this injury is injured on the body of Xiao Yanzhi, who does not seem to know kung fu, which makes the emperor very annoyed and very heartbroken.

Walking to the edge of the bed and sitting down, the emperor touched Xiao Yanzhi's head and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi immediately smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt, it is estimated that the body of the third emperor brother should be more painful than that of Erchen." ”

"From this day on, that son of a son is no longer your brother! I didn't do that to kill my own brother's son! The emperor touched Xiao Yanzhi's head again.

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi also smiled, waved his hand and waved away a few imperial doctors, and after everyone was gone, he asked the emperor in a low voice: "Father and Emperor have long known about the third emperor's younger brother...... Xu Liqian plotted against him? ”

The Emperor sighed and said, "I only learned about it recently. That day, I accidentally told Concubine Yun Shu about the intention to appoint Concubine Jiang as the queen, and then I also felt that it was inappropriate, so I paid special attention to Concubine Yun Shufei, but unexpectedly, she really immediately contacted the Yun family and arranged for someone to assassinate the second child. But being in a hurry exposed the Yun family's plans for many years, although it was only the tip of the iceberg, it was enough. ”

"Why hasn't anyone told Erchen about this?"

The emperor turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "I asked them to hide it from you." I noticed it, but there was no evidence to convict and sentence them in the court, and they knew that they were exposed, so they would not sit idly by, and this dark battle was just about who killed whom first. I don't want to involve you. ”

"But Erchen has always been in it." Xiao Yanzhi frowned.

The emperor smiled again and said, "Silly boy, how can this be the same? The government affairs in the court must be handled impartially, not harming people's lives, not hurting the principles of heaven, and doing the right thing. But this time there is no reason and no evidence, just killing people by feeling, what are you doing with such a thing?

Fortunately, the preparation of the son of a son was not sufficient, and this time he was dragged down by Concubine Yun Shu and had to take a risk. I am also glad that I was quick to speak that day, otherwise I would have deceived the gentle faces of their mother and son, and if they were ready, neither I nor you would have lived.

Originally, it was safe for you to stay in the palace of King Wucheng, why did you want to go out today? ”

As soon as he knew that the matter was revealed, the son of a son of evil had been trying to take it away for some reason, and in the past few days, he had arranged for many people to go to the palace of Wucheng, but he had not even been able to climb into the wall of the palace of Wucheng, if it weren't for the fact that the son of evil had not been cautious and never revealed his identity, he would have put the son in prison a long time ago!

If he hadn't gone out today, how could he have given him the opportunity to hurt him? And looking at today's situation, presumably the hundred elite soldiers he arranged around King Wu's Mansion are also more auspicious, how much power has the son of evil accumulated in the past few years?

"Uh......" Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth, remembering that finding Xiao Chunyue was what had just happened, and the person sent by the emperor to him didn't know whether he was dead or alive at this time, so the emperor shouldn't know about it.

hesitated to hide the matter like this, but after looking at the emperor again, Xiao Yanzhi still said frankly: "Erchen has found the righteous sister of the Xiao family." ”

"Sister Yi?" The Emperor frowned, "Do you have to go out tonight for her?" ”

Do you know that he almost lost his life?

Xiao Yanzhi pouted and said, "That'...... That's not even the father, the brother-in-law, and the royal brother all hid from the son-in-law, so that the son-in-law had no defense at all, if he had known the three...... If he had known that Xu Liqian was going to harm his sons, where would his sons be stupid enough to send them to the door? ”

"You're justified?" When the emperor heard this, he squinted at Xiao Yan.

"Erchen has always been reasonable." Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile.

"Where's your sister-in-law?" The Emperor asked.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth, and then said, "It's probably outside." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then raised his voice: "Zhao Kang, bring the woman from outside in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Kang outside responded, and then said to Xiao Chunyue with a smile, "Girl, please come inside." ”

Fortunately, as soon as he saw this girl's miserable face, he arranged for this girl to wash her face first, otherwise how would she meet His Majesty at this time?

Xiao Chunyue trembled in fright, and asked Zhao Kang in a cautious whisper, "Yes...... Is it His Majesty who wants to see me? ”

"Isn't it," Zhao Kang said with a smile, "Girl, please, the King of Shu is also inside." ”

Xiao Chunyue swallowed her saliva and hesitated again and again, before she walked to Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom with trepidation.

Zhao Kang smiled and followed behind Xiao Chunyue unhurriedly.

Not daring to look up at the emperor's appearance and Xiao Yanzhi's expression, Xiao Chunyue took two steps forward with her head down, and when she could see the emperor's feet, Xiao Chunyue stopped.

"Slave maid participates in majesty." Is that what you should say?

As soon as he heard Xiao Chunyue's trembling voice, Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly sat up from the bed.

Xiao Yanzhi moved, and the emperor immediately turned his head to stare at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "What are you doing when you get up?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned by this, raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Chunyue, but he didn't know what to say.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Lie back, didn't you hear the imperial doctor say that you want to recuperate?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi blinked and said, "Erchen is very quiet now." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yanzhi retreated to the inside of the bed, sat against the wall, and said with a hippie smile: "Father, you continue." ”

After glancing at Xiao Yan, the emperor looked at Xiao Chunyue again and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xiao Chunyue was still trembling with nervousness, and when she heard the emperor's question, she immediately replied: "Slave, slave Xiao Chunyue." ”

"Why are you in Chang'an?" The Emperor asked again.

He knew that soon after Yan Zhi entered the palace, he asked Pei Ze to bring the three younger siblings who were far away in Jiangnan to Chang'an, but didn't this righteous sister sell to someone else's family as a concubine? That should be in Jiangnan, how can it appear in Chang'an?

"Slave maid ......" This answer Xiao Chunyue knew very well in her heart, but she didn't know how to speak.

By now, she has seen it and can face her situation calmly, but it is not something worth telling others, if the emperor knows, will it also affect her words?

Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly said: "Father, what are you doing so much?" Although the righteous sister of Erchen is good-looking, she can't be a concubine for you, you have died of this heart. ”

"Why do you talk nonsense when you kid open your mouth? Can't keep your mouth shut even if you're hurt? The emperor turned his head and glared at Xiao Yanzhi, "It's an eventful time now, isn't this something that should be asked clearly?" ”

"It's not hurt in the mouth," Xiao Yanzhi muttered, "These ministers will ask clearly." That one...... Before Xiushui and Lian Sheng enter the palace, can they let the righteous sister stay and take care of their sons? Erchen still has something to say, but he didn't have time to ask Sister Yi. ”

The emperor glared and said, "You protect the Xiao family very well, why didn't you see you being so good to me and the second child?" ”

Haven't asked yet? In other words, he is afraid that his righteous sister will be bullied when he leaves him, right?

Xiao Yanzhi said: "Erchen survived thanks to the favor of the Xiao family, and it is natural to repay some now." ”

He has lived with the Xiao family for more than 20 years, blood relationship aside, they also have a relationship for more than 20 years, Xiao Chunyue is his savior, such a bond is really incomparable to the emperor and Xu Lishan.

"You're all right!" The emperor raised his hand and wanted to pat Xiao Yanyi, but when he was about to drop his hand, he suddenly remembered the injury on Xiao Yanzhi's body, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, "If you love to stay, leave her, if I don't allow it, I'm afraid you won't be able to recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"Thank you, Father." This sentence of thanks, Xiao Yanzhi said sincerely.

The emperor gave Xiao Yan a blank look, then got up and shook the hem of his clothes, and said: "I still have some things to deal with, you stay in the Wanchun Palace tonight, I will arrange someone to guard it carefully, tomorrow morning, you will go back to the Wucheng Mansion with Pei Ze." ”

"Yes, Father."

In response, Xiao Yanzhi's heart was a little drumming.

If it was in the past, the emperor would probably let him stay in the palace to recuperate, so that the emperor could see him at all times, and he would be more at ease, but at this time, he would let him return to Wucheng Wangfu early tomorrow morning? Could it be that this palace is not as safe as the Wucheng Palace?

After seeing the emperor leave, Xiao Yanzhi saw that Xiao Chunyue was still kneeling on the ground, so he patted the bed and said with a smile: "Sister Chunyue, come here." ”

Xiao Chunyue looked up at Xiao Yanzhi, then at the satin bed, and shook her head vigorously.

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, and said, "Sister Chunyue, you are so far away from me, how can you talk to me?" Come and sit. ”

Xiao Chunyue still shook her head and said timidly: "Don't dare to sit ......"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then said with a smile: "This is my bed, although Sister Chunyue can sit on it, it won't be bad to sit on." Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi had been moving around on the bed, Xiao Chunyue remembered that Emperor Fang Cai had said that the imperial doctor was to let Xiao Yanzhi recuperate, probably there was a wound on his body that was not suitable for movement, and then looking at Xiao Yanzhi's restless appearance, Xiao Chunyue was also afraid, so she stood up slowly, walked over hesitantly, and then sat on the edge of the bed carefully.

Seeing this, Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and smiled, but he didn't force it anymore, and only tried to chat with Xiao Chunyue about something interesting, so that she could relax.

On the other side, Pei Ze first went back to the Daji Hall to make some preparations, and then went all the way over the wall and tiles to the southwest corner of the court.

In addition to the Sixteen Guards and the Northern Ya Yulin Army in Chang'an City, there is also a team of fifty people directly under His Majesty Xià lurking in it, these fifty people are not registered in the army, and there is no household registration, except for His Majesty and His Majesty's henchmen, no one knows their existence.

Among these fifty people, some of them have been following His Majesty since they started the rebellion, and some are newcomers who were arranged after His Majesty became the emperor, each of them is a strong soldier, but they are willing to hide in the dark for their own purposes. They only obey His Majesty's orders and do for His Majesty those things that cannot be done in the sun.

This is the second time Pei Ze has worked with them.

Landing at the secret meeting point, Pei Ze searched carefully for a while before seeing twenty people hidden in the dark.

After showing the token, Pei Ze did not speak, only used gestures to divide the twenty people into five groups, and then handed a note to the leader of each group, which said their respective tasks tonight.

After reading the contents of the note, the leaders of the five groups each took out a fire fold and burned the note clean, and then led their companions to dodge into the night.

After these people left, Pei Ze touched the short sword hidden in his sleeve, and then he once again climbed over the wall and went to the task location that made him feel at ease.

When Pei Ze arrived, the courtyard was still quiet, there was no noise, and there was no flickering fire. Pei Ze squatted on the roof and stared for a moment, then jumped off the roof and walked slowly to the alley where the back door of the house was located, standing quietly not far from the back door.

If he remembers correctly, there should be a calm and intelligent son in this family.

Sure enough, Pei Ze, who was standing in the alley, didn't wait long before he saw that the back door of the house was pushed open, and two guards escorted a person sneaking out.

The three people who were about to flee for their lives unexpectedly saw someone in the alley, and they were so frightened that the two guards immediately blocked in front of their son-in-law.

After carefully identifying it for a long time by the faint moonlight, the three of them recognized that the person standing in the alley in the middle of the night was the famous Wucheng King Pei Ze.

The house behind him was full of murderous machines, and this flying disaster was already confusing, and when he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, he saw a person who could be called the pillar of the Tang Kingdom in front of him, and the son of the family didn't even question Pei Ze, who ran out to hang out in the middle of the night, and immediately ran to Pei Ze with a look of surprise.

"Lord Help! Someone ...... at my house."

Before he finished speaking, the boy who had already arrived in front of Pei Ze only felt that a cold light flashed in front of Pei Ze when he raised his hand, and then he couldn't make any sound, and he fell down with an expression of disbelief.

At this moment, a man in black found that the number of dead people in the house was wrong, so he found it out of the back door, forcibly dragged back the two guards who were still stunned at the back door, and ran out again after a while, nodded at Pei Ze, who seemed to have never moved, and then dragged the body of the boy back to the house.

Half an hour later, the house was on fire.

Pei Ze stared at the firelight that could dispel the darkness, then turned and left.

"Reincarnate in the next life, choose a good family."

Flying up to a relatively high roof, Pei Ze saw that there were several fires in Chang'an City, which should have fallen into the night, and these fires reflected each other, almost illuminating the sky above Chang'an City, and soon caused a commotion in the whole city.

After counting the number of houses that caught fire and confirming that they were correct, Pei Ze returned to the court and waited quietly for a while, then saw the twenty men in black returning in turn.

After the leader of the fifth team reported the task to Pei Ze in turn, tonight's matter was resolved.

Pei Ze first went to the Liangyi Hall to report to the emperor, and then went to the Wanchun Palace.

The Wanchun Hall was also silent, and in the dark night, only a little candle was burning in Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom.

Pei Ze took a deep breath, then pushed the door in.

Xiao Yanyi, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, immediately turned his head to look over when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was Pei Ze who entered the door, he smiled.

"I'm back."

"Yes." Pei Ze nodded, and also showed a smile.

Noticing Xiao Chunyue who was asleep sitting on the edge of the bed, Pei Ze asked suspiciously, "Why is she still here?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Sister Chunyue said that I have no one here, she is not at ease, so she refuses to leave." ”

Pei Ze stepped forward and gently pushed Xiao Chunyue, and when Xiao Chunyue opened her eyes, she said gently: "It's easy to catch a cold when you sit here and sleep, sister, go to the wing." ”

Xiao Chunyue looked at Pei Ze in a daze, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, thinking that Pei Ze had something important to tell Xiao Yanzhi before deliberately sending her away, so Xiao Chunyue yawned, and left the room in a daze, casually found an empty room in the east wing and went to sleep.

As soon as Xiao Chunyue left, Pei Ze occupied half of the bed and lay beside Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes flashed, and he unconsciously raised his hand to touch Pei Ze's head, and asked softly, "Tired?" ”

"Sort of."

"Then go to sleep." Xiao Yanzhi pulled the quilt and covered Pei Ze.

Pei Ze didn't say anything more, only closed his eyes and lay down beside Xiao Yanzhi with a peaceful face.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't say anything more, just stared at the little blood stain exposed on Pei Ze's cuffs and slowly sank his eyes.
