The lake where Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing were located happened to be not far from the palace, and the two of them couldn't care about their children's affection at the moment, so they hurried to the direction of the palace.

The two men were close to each other, and their feet were fast, and they soon reached the palace.

In the imperial study, Pei Tianyu looked at the documents in his hand with a gloomy face. He looked at it for a long time, but his mind didn't seem to be on the stack of papers, and after looking at it for a while, he let out a long sigh and threw the documents in his hand aside.

The bamboo slip was thrown away, and the force was so great that it hit the emerald green jade cup next to the table. The jade jade cup was poured aside, and the clear tea in the cup slowly seeped out, wetting the golden tablecloth on the table. Along the sleek table, the jade jade cup slowly rolled forward, and finally reached the edge of the table, and with a "pop", the jade jade cup seemed to suddenly lose its fulcrum and fell to the ground, becoming a worthless piece.

Pei Tianyu didn't look at the priceless jade jade cup, and the sound of the cup falling made him even more upset. Thinking of the news he had just received, his brows furrowed tightly again.

was born at this time, and Xiaoliu was not in the palace. Except for Xiaoliu, Pei Tianyu didn't want to find other princes. Although Xiao Er can also discuss with him, he has just recently gotten married, after all, he has done a happy event, and now this file is a bad thing, and there are too many things involved, so it's better not to let him know.

Pei Tianyu had no choice, and he didn't know where Xiao Liu had gone after asking around. Pei Tianyu was somewhat relieved that Pei Xiu went out, in the past few years, he had always stayed in his bedroom, and he didn't go anywhere without leaving the door, which seemed too isolated.

Now that he can step out of the palace gate and go to the outside world, from the perspective of an ordinary father, Pei Tianyu is naturally happy. And he also knows that all these changes come from Su Wanqing.

It is precisely because of the appearance of Su Wanqing that Pei Xiu will make such a change. So from this aspect, Pei Tianyu has a trace of gratitude for Su Wanqing, in addition to his affection.

He knew that Xiao Liu must be staying with Su Yatou at the moment, although he didn't want to disturb the two of them, after all, it was not far from the marriage of the two people, and the young man naturally wanted to spend more time alone.

But now, something big has happened in the palace, and apart from Xiao Liu, Pei Tianyu can't think of anyone else who can solve this problem. He had to urgently dispatch his secret guards to find Xiao Liu's whereabouts.

If there is anything, I can only wait for Xiao Liu to come back, and he is in a hurry here now, and there is no way.

Pei Tianyu was distressed here, and there was already a knock at the door.

A eunuch shouted, "See the Six Princes, Miss Su." ”

Pei Tianyu heard the voice of the eunuch, his eyes suddenly lit up, as soon as the door opened, after Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing just appeared, Pei Tianyu had already waved and said, "Little Liu, Su girl, come over quickly." Something is wrong! ”

Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing glanced at each other, and saw that there was no one else in the imperial study except Pei Tianyu, and there was a broken jade jade cup next to it. It seems that the emperor has really encountered a problem this time.

Su Wanqing vaguely remembered that the last time she went to the palace to find Pei Xiu, Pei Tianyu also told her that this jade jade cup was given by a guest from the Western Regions, and he liked it very much.

But now the emperor's favorite cup is lying quietly on the ground like this, turning into pieces of pieces. The emperor didn't even look at it, which was enough to see that he had encountered something not simple.

Pei Xiu took Su Wanqing's hand, walked in front of Pei Tianyu, bowed slightly, and then asked, "Father, you are in a hurry to summon your sons, but what is the important matter?" ”

Pei Tianyu looked at their clasped hands, raised his head to look at the two people, and said with a frown: "Today, I received the following news, in the direction of the south of the city, near a deserted small fishing village, the bodies of two women were found. ”

Before Pei Xiu could ask, Pei Tianyu continued: "The bodies of these two women are well preserved and have not been damaged, but they are completely dead, and the cause of death is unknown. ”

Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing glanced at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The two bodies were unharmed, but they were dead.

Su Wanqing opened her mouth and asked, "Could it be poisoning?" ”

Pei Tianyu nodded, but shook his head again, and then said: "Whether it is poisoning or not, it is difficult to say at present, the bodies of these two women, we have no way of knowing who they are and where they come from." ”

Pei Xiu opened his mouth and said: "According to facial features, if you search all over the country, can't you find it?" ”

Pei Tianyu made a bitter face, and then said: "The problem is here, these two nameless women, their faces are ...... It's all gone. Just one body, there are so many women with the same curve across the country, it is absolutely impossible to find it. ”

"Lost face?" Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing said with some surprise.

Pei Tianyu nodded with a somewhat heavy expression.

Su Wanqing was silent for a long time, and then spoke: "What does the emperor mean that the appearance of those two women has been ruined?" ”

Pei Tianyu shook his head and said with some bitterness: "It's either disfigured, or the whole face is gone." Including the eyes, nose, and mouth, it was like a face, torn off alive, and nothing was gone......"

Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing were stunned for a moment.

Disfigurement is already a cruel thing, the whole face is gone, what kind of concept is it?

According to Pei Tianyu's meaning, I am afraid that the faces of these two women have been torn off, and my facial features have also been dug up.

But if that were the case, the two women had no scars on their bodies, and the cause of their death ......

Su Wanqing was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Those two women, do you still have blood on your bodies?" ”

Pei Tianyu didn't expect Su Wanqing to ask such a question, normally speaking, if a woman heard about this kind of thing, she was afraid that she would have been scared a long time ago, where would she think about other things.

But after all, it was Su Yatou in front of her, Pei Tianyu saw that Su Wanqing's expression had not changed much, and the satisfaction in her heart had increased a lot. Sure enough, it was the person his son fancied, but he was different from ordinary ordinary women!

Pei Tianyu thought about it and replied honestly: "I don't know much about this, the specific situation needs to be checked there." The bodies of these two women appeared too strangely, and their faces were really ...... It's too dilapidated, and if it is known to others, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary panic in the capital. ”

Pei Tianyu never called himself "I" in front of Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing, which also shows how much he attaches importance to the two.

Su Wanqing nodded, she naturally understood what Pei Tianyu meant. The two nameless female corpses are already enough to attract everyone's attention, if they know, the faces of the two women are gone, and it is more serious, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the world. Pei Tianyu, as the king of a country, naturally didn't want such a thing to happen.

Pei Xiu, who was silent on the side, spoke: "So what does my father mean, let his sons investigate this matter thoroughly?" ”

Pei Tianyu nodded, looked at Pei Xiu, and then looked at Su Wanqing and said: "You are steady, and Su Yatou is so smart, you join forces, naturally you can get twice the result with half the effort, I have no doubt about your ability at all." Recently, there have been a lot of things going on in the DPRK, and I can't get out of it at all. Now that this is happening again, I'm not looking for you, and I really don't know who to look for......"

For the first time, Su Wanqing saw Pei Tianyu showing such a tired look, she looked at Pei Tianyu's dark hair, and saw a little bit of white from it. Only then did she realize that the king of a country, no matter how powerful he looked, after all, people would grow old.

Pei Xiu looked at Pei Tianyu's expression, and a complicated look crossed his eyes.

After a while, he said softly: "Father, leave this matter to me and Wanwan, you don't have to worry too much about the affairs of the court." Sometimes, it's better not to think so much. I've heard that you've been coughing lately, and you're ...... Pay attention to your body. ”

Pei Tianyu looked at Pei Xiu, he hadn't said such words with such concern for a long time, it seemed that since he was an adult, he hadn't been close to himself. Now that he is cared for by his favorite son like this, Pei Tianyu even feels a trace of heat in his eyes.

He lowered his head, nodded, and only raised his head after a few seconds and said with a smile: "Okay, my father knows, and my father will take care of himself." Xiaoliu and Su Yatou are too, take care of themselves while they are young. Don't be like your father, wait until you are old to know your mistake, and now you have the root of your illness, which is difficult to heal. ”

Su Wanqing looked at Pei Tianyu's smile, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart for some reason. Although she didn't have much contact with Pei Tianyu, because of Pei Xiu's mother, she once looked down on this man.

But now she found out that Pei Tianyu was just an ordinary man and an ordinary father in front of Pei Xiu and her. Su Wanqing is not an emperor after all, she can't understand how much responsibility she bears as an emperor.

But now, looking at Pei Tianyu like this, she suddenly understood a little.

Everyone is born in the world, there is always a time when they have to do it, and as an emperor, it is the most unavoidable. Even if it looks infinite on the surface, who understands the things inside?

The emperor lost the woman he loved the most, and his most beloved son was injured and disappeared in the most glorious time. Su Wanqing suddenly couldn't imagine what kind of mentality the man in front of her had in that lonely and sad time, facing everything, still bearing all his responsibilities and silently suffering.

Su Wanqing knew that it must not be something that ordinary people could endure. At least for her.

At this moment, Su Wanqing was in awe of Pei Tianyu.
