Pei Ji'an saw that the two of them were playing this tacit game like children, and shook his head helplessly.

"My son-in-law and aunt, is this the time to worry about this?"

If the emperor wanted the girl to die, and he carried out such a blatant assassination, shouldn't we think about the current situation?

Pei Ji'an felt that he really couldn't understand the young people now, and his heart was really big.

At the moment of the great enemy, Zhao Kou has not forgotten to target Huaiyu, and it is really difficult for him.

"Now that we know that it may be Zhao Kou's doing, let the brothers in Xunyan Tower pay more attention to Zhao Kou's movements."

He can assassinate the first time, but don't think about it a second time!

All along, their investigation direction has been reversed, and they have always pointed the finger at the Wang family, the family in Kyoto who have many complaints about Huaiyu, and the people in the rivers and lakes, and even the Eagle League They also investigated, but nothing was investigated.

When Huaiyu said this today, everyone realized that in the final analysis, the emperor was the one who wanted Huaiyu to die the most.

It's just that they all subconsciously thought that the emperor would never make such a childish move as assassination within the jurisdiction of the imperial city.

I never thought that the emperor would use the treasure of a country, the Water Heart Mirror, as a bait in order to assassinate Huaiyu!

Zhao Yan frowned: "No, there must be someone behind the emperor." ”

"Why?"

"The Water Heart Mirror is an ancient holy relic, no matter how much Zhao Kou wants you to die, he will not use the Water Heart Mirror as a guide to lure you to Xunyan Tower."

As the king of a country, even if you really don't believe that the water heart mirror is a holy thing, you will never easily touch the taboo that the water heart mirror is the treasure of the country, after all, this kind of thing, as an emperor, is another thing to believe in it, not to believe in it.

Moreover, there is a legend of the real dragon in the water heart mirror, and the people of Daqing have unswervingly believed it for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for Zhao Kou not to know how much storm it will set off if the people know the news of the disappearance of the water heart mirror.

The monarchy is divinely granted, if the water heart mirror, which symbolizes the identity of the monarch, is not in the palace, but falls into the hands of others, the consequences are unimaginable.

Huaiyu and Pei Ji'an both nodded in contemplation.

Yes, an emperor, the lifeblood of the country to assassinate her little woman, is not reasonable.

"Who could that be? Can the emperor take out the water heart mirror, and then calculate and accurately introduce Miss Gu into his bureau step by step? ”

If it weren't for Miss Gu's quick decision and beating the horse to death with a whip halfway, what would happen next?

"It's not the way we can guess here." Zhao Yan looked at Huaiyu and said abruptly, "Why don't you go to the palace with me?" ”

"Don't." Huaiyu shook his head, "You go by yourself, I have a shadow of the palace, and I don't want to go to the palace in my life." ”

Zhao Yan smiled lightly.

Talking unintentionally, listening with heart.

Pei Ji'an paid attention to Zhao Yan's expression, and seeing that although he was smiling, the smile was not as good as his eyes, Pei Ji'an quietly withdrew.

Huaiyu leaned on the stands, didn't notice Zhao Yan's expression, only looked at the beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of ice downstairs, and said proudly: "Zhao Kou wants to kill me, but it's not that easy, I'm not afraid of him." ”

"Then why don't you even dare to enter the palace?"

"This is different, the palace is like a big golden wire cage, and the people locked in it are both pitiful and lamentable."

Huaiyu remembered the Long Gan he saw in the firewood room last night, and the disgust and boredom on his face for those days in the palace did not escape Huaiyu's eyes at all, even if it was the days when he was hunted down, but when he talked about what he saw and heard in the streets and alleys of Kyoto these days, he brought joy and happiness from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Yan was speechless.

He was used to being detained in the palace, and he was not as free as Huaiyu since he was a child, and he could go wherever he wanted, so he didn't empathize with Huaiyu's idea.

But that's not the point, the point is-

Zhao Yan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Duan Chichi, who came over: "Huaiyu, everyone has eaten almost, let's disperse." ”

"Eh, okay."

Soon, the dragon in the firewood room magically transformed into the appearance of Awei under Duan Chichi's skillful hands.

Ah Wei himself couldn't help but be amazed: "If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I would have thought that my father had given birth to a brother for me!" ”

Sent Zhao Yan and Pei Ji'an and Long Gan, who was dressed as Awei, away, and the sisters returned to the house, roasting around the fire, and enjoying themselves.

On the other side, Zhao Yan sat silently on the warm carriage, Pei Ji'an knew that he was unhappy in his heart, so he only spoke to Long Gan wittily.

After all, he really can't help with the affairs of other people's little couples.

"Dragon Guard, I've always been curious, why your Dragon Clan has been in the same vein for hundreds of years, isn't there a time when there are multiple brothers and sisters?"

Long Ganqu said: "I don't know about this, maybe I was cursed by the Water Heart Mirror!" ”

What a water mirror curse.

Pei Ji'an dissected the corpse when he was young and repeatedly solved strange cases, he didn't even believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, how could he believe that the water heart mirror would curse people?

"The Dragon Guard's father died years ago, didn't he?"

"Well, the day I was crowned, it was when my father died."

Long Gan's calm tone without any tone made Pei Ji'an feel a deep sadness.

He smirked, "I'm so sorry, I-"

"It's okay, Brother Pei doesn't have to apologize." Long Gan said, "I haven't thanked Pei Sangongzi for taking in the great grace." ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave his position and salute, but Pei Ji'an hurriedly stopped him and pressed him back to his position.

"Brother Long don't worry, enter my Yanlou, let alone the group of wine bags and rice bags in the palace, even if the king of heaven comes, he will not want to enter my Yanlou."

Pei Ji'an is the best at getting along with people, and Long Gan, you are happy to say a word, and after a while, the two of them began to call "Brother Pei" and "Brother Long Xian".

Fortunately, the carriage in which the three of them rode was very spacious, and Zhao Yan sat far away, holding a handful of books whose names he couldn't read clearly, turning a blind eye to the conversation between Pei Ji'an and Long Gan, as if he had isolated everyone else.

Long Gan quietly glanced at Pei Ji'an, intending to ask: Is it really okay for us to talk so loudly and leave the prince aside?

Pei Ji'an waved his hand and said, "It's okay, someone unintentionally said something he didn't want to hear, and he was angry with himself at this time." ”

"If someone else provokes the son of the world, how can he be angry with himself instead of that person?"

"Well." Pei Ji'an looked at Zhao Yan with a smile and quipped, "That person is his bottom of his eyes, how can he be willing to be angry with that person, so he has to be angry with himself." ”

A book smashed straight over!

"Say a few words, you!"

Pei Ji'an stretched out his hand to grab the book that flew over, glanced at the title of the book, and said with a smile: "Ah, I was so angry that I looked at the Tao Te Ching." ”

Zhao Yan is just a book in his hand.

glanced at Pei Ji'an angrily, and didn't intend to pay attention to him.
