Chapter 022: What to exchange

"Pick it up!"

I shouted.

The maid who had been waiting for a long time handed me something.

The stack of ledger-type stuff that wasn't very thick was thrown to the ground by me.

Thrown directly in front of them.

The energetic minister, who had just called out, changed his face when he saw the things that had been thrown on the ground and scattered the pages.

Then he picked it up and looked at me in horror.

Above is the information I asked the guards to search for me.

It's not a lot, but it's enough to convict them.

Even if I didn't catch the evidence that day because of an accident, it doesn't mean that I don't have any way to deal with them.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say, or explain?" I spoke.

Now it was complete silence.

I watched them kneeling on their knees with sincerity and trembling this time, and they lay neatly on the ground, but there was no sense of victory, nor any joy.

Before these matters could be dealt with, the turmoil on the other side of the frontier had completely disrupted my plans.

Pei Yousheng also started this, and he really didn't go out for an excuse.

It's completely closed.

And the frontier side is imminent.

I can't afford to delay.

Even if I have resentment in my heart, I still can't gamble with the lives of ordinary people.

"Eldest princess, the regent still doesn't see guests there, saying that his physical condition is very bad and he is not suitable to go out with people."

There are already three or four waves of people who have come back to report.

There are a lot of people who go, but all of them are closed-door soup.

The national crisis is just around the corner, but Pei Yousheng is putting on this posture at this time.

It's nothing more than a threat that forces me to make a choice,

"Eldest princess, the regent said he couldn't eat, and these supplements were of no use."

"Eldest princess, the imperial doctor has been stopped outside the door."

"Long ......"

It's only been a while, and so many people have already returned.

The reports were all failures, and I didn't hear the slightest good news about this in the morning.

Pei Yousheng was calm.

The war was tight, but he was able to stand by and be as steady as a mountain.

I even wondered if these turmoil in the frontier were also through his hands.

Of course, these dark thoughts are only a little swept away in my mind.

Even if Pei Yousheng and I are almost incompatible, but with so many years of my understanding of him, he still disdains to do such a thing.

He wouldn't go to great lengths to take an innocent life, just simply arrange such a thing.

"Eldest Princess!"

The last person to knock on the door was interrupted by me before he could report.

"What's more, except for being sick and not being able to sleep at night and not eating well, doesn't he have any other new tricks?"

I snapped.

This morning's work, what I heard and what I came to report, is nothing more than a few things.

But the last person who came in said, "No, it's the emperor who is here, and the emperor has to see you." ”

In the past few days, I have no time to care about my younger brother Chen Qixue.

It was probably when he got on the dragon chair, and I spent a little longer with him at that time.

Other than that, I can't really think of any other time I could spend that long.

"Nope."

I didn't even think about it.

After all, these things in front of me are not finished yet, and I don't have the heart to meet him yet.

This is one of the original intentions, but also because of my father, I have always had a pimple in my heart, so I simply turned a blind eye.

There was a lot of movement outside the door.

I heard Chen Qixue's immature voice, and I was gritting my teeth and saying word by word: "I want to go in, who dares to stop me?" ”

The voice wasn't too imposing, but it was much better than the initial panic and uneasiness.

People always have to grow.

He always has to adapt to the way of the emperor little by little.

My father always said that he was very smart and would be the best Ming army.

But at least for now, it seems to me, except when I saw him go crazy and study hard in the middle of the night, I have to admit that compared to a smart and sharp brain, it is more admirable that can endure hardships.

"Sister!"

When I pushed open the door and went out, Chen Qixue stopped in front of me.

Those eyes were wide, as if they were puzzled and as if they were deeply apprehensive.

After all, he is still a child, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and deliberately pretending to be old to be familiar with these things, which is very exhausting in itself.

"The emperor has something else to do?"

I said lightly.

But the sleeves were grabbed by Chen Qixue.

His little hand was very strong, and he refused to let go.

"Sister! I don't understand. ”

Chen Qixue kept looking up at me, and his eyes were still black and white, so clear and clean.

Not a little bit of dust.

It's so clean that it even makes people think of destruction.

"Why does Sister keep avoiding me, and why do you have to do everything possible to please the person surnamed Pei? The people who were invited to go three times and twice were sent back, so why should they send them? ”

As if I was afraid that I would leave suddenly.

These words were like pouring beans, and they were all said in one go.

"Finished?"

I leaned against the door frame and just looked at Chen Qixue.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, but such a sudden meeting seems like a long time apart.

He is thinner than before, but his face is still a little fleshy, and when he deliberately straightens his face, there is no deterrent at all.

After all, age is still here.

I didn't want to explain, I just said coldly, "Because I want to." ”

Just four words, I won't say one more word.

Sure enough, I saw disappointment in Chen Qixue's eyes.

He said: "Sister, are you tempted, but have you forgotten how he treated us at the beginning, almost, our lives are really gone, he is taking revenge, Sister!" ”

The more he came to the end, the more serious Chen Qixue's tone became.

From his small body, I saw in a trance what my father looked like.

If his father was young enough to be this age, Chen Qixue would not be much better in comparison.

Although he was nervous at a young age, he still tried very hard to bet on his emotions and spoke to me angrily.

As he had relied on me, he didn't have any defenses in his eyes now.

But a day or two is fine, but what about later?

How can I be 100% sure that he will never change his mind?

What's more, neither he nor I crawled out of the same belly.

"That's why I did it because I wanted to, do you hear me now?"

I repeated the change again, and passed by him.

But his chest seemed to heave, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he stubbornly looked at me with those black and white eyes.
