Chapter 216. Far and near

No matter how painstakingly Chu Yunfei tried to cover it up, he couldn't hide from the eyeliner that the emperor had planted beside him after all. He Yun still held his face, hoping to get a perfect explanation from Chu Yunfei's mouth. Seeing that Chu Yunfei didn't want to mention those two people at all, He Yun said coldly: "I know that you have the emperor's token, and you can handle all possible situations by yourself without reporting to the emperor." But you have to let the emperor know what's going on, right? Can you tell me who these two mysterious figures really are? What do they have to do with treasure? ”

"Isn't that hard to guess?" Chu Yunfei smiled and took the Night Pearl into his arms, put his arm around He Yun's shoulders and walked out, "The person who passed by you is the legendary Lord of the Hundred Flowers Building, and the other one is a mysterious person who did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask me to steal this Night Pearl from the palace, saying that he is mysterious, of course, I can't guess who he is." In fact, I can vaguely sense some clues about his identity, but I can't be sure. I'll tell you when I'm completely sure, okay? With such good weather, it's time to go around the palace. ”

Chu Yunfei has to deal with not only this He Yun, but more importantly, what the emperor will think of this matter. All the way, he was thinking about how he should answer in the face of the emperor's questioning. But I never expected that the emperor's expression after seeing the night pearl seemed to be frightened, and it took a long time before he asked: "I didn't expect you to really get it back." What an accident! Now that it's back, it means that the so-called treasure map that I have carefully collected has fallen into the hands of the gangsters, right? Are they already sure? ”

"The emperor means that they are very sure to find ...... A legendary treasure? That's why you will return this pearl of the night? Chu Yunfei's heart sank, in fact, this was the result he didn't want to think of, but the emperor reminded him to pay attention to this fact.

The emperor's worries are not unreasonable. The conspirators who really covet the throne, even if they get this pearl of the night, it is absolutely impossible to resist the majesty of the Son of Heaven. But what if it's the legendary heirloom jade seal? Almost all people believe that the mysterious heirloom jade seal is hidden in that treasure. If it reappears in the world, it will be the most terrifying thing for the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Chu Yunfei pondered for a long time before he said leisurely: "The emperor's worries are not unreasonable. But the minister had to do it. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? The emperor should know that those people are haunted, and a hundred flower buildings have already made the emperor anxious, not to mention that there is an unknown mysterious figure? ”

The huge palace fell silent for a moment. The emperor lingered for a long time before he sighed leisurely: "Okay, since I left this matter to you in the first place, I completely trust your ability." But I fear that the final result is something none of us want to see. ”

Although the emperor said these words very secretly, Chu Yunfei could guess eight or nine points. If it is really as the emperor said, the goal of that mysterious person is to pass on the jade seal of the country, then his identity must be extraordinary, either an important minister in the court, or the emperor's clan. Power is crazy, driven by interests, what can't those people do?

Without waiting for Chu Yunfei to answer, the emperor sighed fiercely and said: "Everyone says that it is good to be an emperor and can enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, but since I became an emperor, I have not slept a day." I really miss the days when I studied in the East Palace, as long as I buried my head in the pile of books. But after becoming the emperor, I found that the most complicated thing is the hearts of the people, and the most difficult thing to conquer is the hearts of the people in the world. I have the heart to become a famous monarch, but the future ...... Alas, as long as you don't become a faint king who is scolded by the world. The only thing I can do right now is to let the people live a stable life. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will not disappoint Your Majesty no matter what. It's just that...... Don't know how long it will take to finally find the answer? Chu Yunfei's words were very vague. Of course, he can't swear to pack the ticket in front of the emperor, after all, it is not easy to find the long-legendary treasure.

The emperor just sighed, but didn't say much. Just when Chu Yunfei didn't know how to continue the conversation, he didn't expect the emperor to send a chessboard with great interest, asking Chu Yunfei to accompany him to play a game of chess.

"Are you going to play a big game of chess?" A big smile appeared on Chu Yunfei's face.

The emperor laughed: "It's rare that I have such a good mood, isn't it good to kill a plate?" It's just that this time, you must not deliberately let me, let me see your strength, okay? ”

The emperor's mind must be carefully figured out to guess. Chu Yunfei didn't like this, but the emperor seemed to like playing dumb riddles very much. Halfway through the chess game, Chu Yunfei realized that every word the emperor said was twelve points careful, and sometimes he would even talk about him left and right. He felt a cold sweat break out on his back. In other words, the emperor's situation doesn't seem to be good, or the emperor has already noticed something, so even in the palace, he is very careful with his words and deeds. Are those people really pervasive, and even the emperor's side has their eyes and ears?

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you still remember Duan Tianya." After the emperor sent away all the palace ladies and chamberlains, Chu Yunfei cautiously asked.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to finally remember this person." How could I not remember this man? He's ...... now. I heard that the situation is not very good, and it has always been muddy. He didn't remember anything, not even his eyes...... It's a pity that I can only keep him in the palace to live for the rest of his life. If you have any questions, you might as well ask them directly, I think that after so long of things, no one should be interested in him anymore. ”

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he never expected that the emperor would still remember Duan Tianya, in other words, this person used to be very important to the emperor, so he could make the emperor never forget it. After thinking about it for a while, the question he raised was very sharp, which made the emperor shocked: "It was the emperor who sent him to sneak into the Baihua Building and arranged everything for him, right?" Could it be that three years ago, the emperor had already begun to leave a message about Baihualou? ”

"You mean the Baihualou you've been investigating all these years ago?" There was a touch of surprise on the emperor's face, he touched his nose, and sighed: "My purpose at that time was not Baihualou, but ...... Forget it, there are some things that might as well be told to you by himself. ”
