Pei Yun said goodbye to Qu Tutong from the garrison of the forbidden army, and subconsciously walked towards the Daxingshan Temple not far from Daxing Palace: he wanted to find Liu Chang, the Duke of Peng Guogong who introduced Gu Sheng to Daxingshan Temple two years ago to do chores, to ask him in person what the situation was like when he met Gu Sheng.

However, when he hadn't gone far, he saw Yu Zan walking towards the palace gate with a panicked face, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is Yufu Peng going to enter the palace?" ”

"Pei Du Ji Room, Lao Er is about to find you, go into the palace with Lao Er, last night Lan Zhi Palace was haunted, alarming the princess, Niang Niang sent someone to bring a message, ordering our palace to enter the palace to visit the princess." Yu Zan said, picked up Pei Yun and walked to the palace.

Pei Yun suddenly heard that the Forbidden Palace would also be haunted, and he was really taken aback, and he didn't care about going to Liu Chang to inquire about the case, so he hurriedly entered the palace with Yuzan to see what was going on.

Pei Yun followed Yuzan into Daxing Palace, and walked to the boundary where there was still some distance from the Lanzhi Palace where Princess Xiao E of the Jin Dynasty lived, and faintly heard bursts of crying from the direction of Lanzhi Palace, and had a premonition that something was wrong, so he accelerated his pace and rushed to Lanzhi Palace.

Outside the gate of Lanzhi Palace, a team of forbidden troops had already been added to serve as a guard on the order of Queen Dugu Jialuo, and Yuzan showed his identity to the forbidden army guarding the palace gate, and asked him: "What is the princess doing?" ”

The captain of the forbidden army who led the team shook his head with a stiff face, stretched out his hand to the palace, and motioned for Yuzan to ask the people of Lanzhi Palace. Pei Yun looked around, but he didn't see anything unusual near the palace gate, so he followed Yuzan into Lanzhi Palace.

In the Lanzhi Palace, I saw more than a dozen maids gathered outside the dormitory where Xiao Er lived, discussing something in their ears. Yu Zan saw Xiao E's personal maid Green Pothos standing at the entrance of the hall, hurriedly separated the crowd, walked to the front of Green Pothos, and asked with concern: "Miss Green Pothos, the princess is fine, right?" ”

Luluo looked up and saw that it was Yuzan, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and replied: "The imperial doctor is examining the princess in the palace, but I am afraid that the fetus will not be saved." ”

Pei Yun was hindered by the difference between men and women, so he didn't enter the hall to find out, so he also asked Luluo: "When was the palace haunted last night, and what kind of demons and monsters frightened the princess?" ”

Green pothos choked up and replied: "Around the fourth watch, I heard that this ghost not only came to Lanzhi Palace last night, but even Niangniang's Zhengyang Palace also went to ......."

Pei Yun was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Is Niangniang also frightened?" ”

Pothos shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

At this moment, I thought that Xiao E heard a man talking outside the door in the dormitory, and asked in a low voice at the entrance of the hall, "But the fish mansion has arrived outside the door?" ”

"Princess, Pei Yun was ordered by the king to return to Beijing to report the chapter, I heard that an evil ghost disturbed the princess last night, so I came to visit with Yufu Peng."

"Please meet Pei Du Ji Room and Yufu Pengjin Palace."

Pei Yun and Yu Zan glanced at each other, and followed the green pothos into Xiao E's dormitory.

At this time, the imperial doctor who was called into the palace to diagnose Xiao E's condition had already prescribed a prescription, and told Pei Yun and Yuzan not to talk to Xiao E for too long, so he retired with the medicine box.

Pei Yun, although Yu Zan and Xiao E, who were lying on the bed, were separated by a curtain, they could still feel the faint breath of Xiao E after the miscarriage, and Yu Zan asked Xiao E: "How does the princess feel about her body?" If you can still support it, when the old man goes to the mother, it is better to ask the princess to go back to the house to live, and it is also convenient to raise her body. ”

"Alas, pity my baby, eight months have passed, and I still haven't been able to save my ......," said Xiao Er, and sobbed softly again.

"Please be kind to the princess and cherish ......" Pei Yun couldn't think of more words to comfort Xiao E for a while.

"Pei Du Ji Room, I beg you for one thing, about my miscarriage, please don't tell the prince after you return to Jiangnan, okay?"

Pei Yun wanted to say that he was going to live in Chang'an for a while longer, but when he opened his mouth, he only replied "yes", and couldn't say anything else.

At this moment, I heard someone outside the palace ask: "Have the people from the Jin Palace's palace ever entered the palace?" Niangniang summoned people to Zhengyang Palace to meet. ”

When Pei Yun heard this, his heart moved, and he faintly felt that the queen summoned the subordinates of the Jin Palace's palace to enter the palace, not just to visit Xiao E, who was frightened and had a miscarriage, but seemed to have other intentions, so he and Yuzan said goodbye to Xiao E and left the dormitory, but saw that the queen's most favored eunuch, He Zhu'er, was already guarding outside the palace, waiting to take them to Zhengyang Palace.

When Pei Yun and Yuzan followed He Zhu'er to leave Lanzhi Palace, they rushed to Zhengyang Palace to see Queen Dugu Jialuo, and they saw Sui Gaozu Yang Jian sitting upright in the hall, and Dugu Hou was accompanying him, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Minister Pei Yun was ordered by the king to return to Beijing on business, and was summoned to come and knock on the emperor and Niangniang ......."

"Pei Yun, I heard that you have returned to Chang'an five or six days ago, why haven't you been promoted to see you today?" Yang Jian asked coldly.

Pei Yun didn't dare to tell Yang Jian the truth that he had not been arranged by the prince to see him, so he had delayed so far and had not yet met the king, so he only vaguely pleaded guilty: "The minister has committed the crime of disrespect, please punish the emperor." ”

"Yuzan, did you and Pei Yun go to Lanzhi Palace to visit Princess Bajin?" Seeing this, Dugu Jialuo hurriedly turned to Yuzan and asked.

"Yes. The minister has heard the news of the princess's frightened miscarriage, and has come to ask the mother for an order, can the princess be allowed to return to the palace for a while to recuperate? Yuzan kowtowed and replied.

"It's fine. Pei Yun, the palace is discussing with the emperor and plans to summon the king of Jin back to Beijing, but I don't know what the current situation in Jiangnan is, and whether Ah Zong can go away? Dugu Jialuo bowed slightly, and asked Pei Yun again.

"Yu Niangniang, the minister returned to Beijing this time, and he came to present the chapter to the emperor on the order of the King of Jin, and if there is a summons from the Holy Order, the King of Jin should return to the court immediately." Pei Yun replied after bowing to Dugu.

"Oh? Why didn't I see the piece that Ah Zong ordered you to bring back? When Yang Jian said this, he suddenly realized something, and asked Pei Yun instead, "Tell me, what are the things written in Ah Zong's chapter?" ”

Pei Yunqing knew that the crown prince Yang Yong had not yet presented Yang Guang's recital to Yang Jian, so he replied truthfully: "The recital of the King of Jin is written by the ministers on his behalf, which mainly mentions two things: first, to report to the emperor the reason for quelling the rebellion in the Buddhist temples in Jiangnan, and the fact that all parts of Jiangnan have begun to implement the Juntian system; Second, according to a letter sent by Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, who was seized during the inspection of eastern Zhejiang, by King Gao Yuan of Goguryeo, and the news reported by Li Jing from the south of the annexed state, in view of the signs that the remnants of Nanchen who were still hidden in Jiangnan had recently colluded with Goguryeo, Turkic and other foreign countries in the north and south to try wrong, it was suggested that the imperial court should preemptively strike and raise troops to attack Goguryeo. ”

Yang Jian looked quite surprised when he heard Pei Yun's report, and asked with a sinking face, "Where is the letter that Gao Yuan wrote to Gao Qinglian now?" ”
