There were only the two of them in the hall, and it was terrifyingly quiet at this time, Ye Jingzhi knew that it was already a big rebellion to say this, and he was going to die after all, so it was better to do something for her with this breath, he boldly raised his head and looked straight ahead, facing Pei Zhao's gaze, he couldn't see half of his joy and anger, and even his voice was endless: "But so?" Then tell me, what did I do to her? ”

Ye Jingzhi thought that Pei Zhao would be furious, and even immediately ordered himself to be executed, but he asked himself so calmly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Pei Zhao sneered when he saw this, and said lightly: "Don't dare to say it?" ”

Ye Jingzhi gritted his teeth and said boldly: "The lower official knows that His Majesty's mind is the same as that of the lower official, in this case, why does Your Majesty want to be so ruthless to the Su family?" The Su family is the founding hero of my great cao, loyal to the monarch and loving the people for a hundred years, it can be said that he is full of loyalty, and the Zhao family army of the previous dynasty must be no less inferior, and the lower officials implore Your Majesty to think twice! ”

He said this very boldly, but Pei Zhao's face was very calm: "Full of loyalty? You just compared the Su family to the Zhao family of the previous dynasty, when Dingzong of the previous dynasty inflicted an inch of punishment on Zhao Wuyin, the general of Huaihua, and slaughtered the Zhao family, so that the people's resentment boiled, and the country was ruined and died, do you think that I am as mediocre as Dingzong? ”

Ye Jingzhi only felt cold sweat dripping all over his body, but he still managed to maintain his composure: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

"Don't dare?" Pei Zhao sneered: "Why don't you dare? You say that my mind is the same as yours, so you might as well tell me what I am thinking and what are your thoughts? ”

Ye Jingzhi knew that this was a great taboo, so he was very cautious in his words, not wanting Pei Zhao to ask so bluntly and boldly, and he was very frightened in his heart. He used to be afraid of Pei Zhao, not only because of his awe of imperial power, but also because of his fear of himself, he has been accompanied by paper, pen and ink since he was a child, and he has never experienced battlefield battles, and he is even more respectful and afraid of this cold and iron-blooded emperor. But now he clearly knows that even His Majesty is just an ordinary person in front of his beloved woman, an ordinary person like him, he can't escape death anyway, so what are you afraid of him doing?

Thinking of this, Ye Jingzhi calmed down instead, and said calmly: "Xiaguan admires the Queen Mother, as long as she can occasionally accompany her and talk to her to relieve her boredom, she will be satisfied with a smile." His Majesty loves the Queen Mother, why can't he take good care of her mother's family and put her mother's family to death? Did Your Majesty want to suppress the Su family, or did you make this move because the Queen Mother had no intention of treating you? ”

Pei Zhao was furious, and slammed the inkstone in his hand, and smashed it straight at Ye Jingzhi's head, the inkstone was an extremely valuable dragon-tail inkstone, extremely hard, and it was broken into several pieces when he fell, Tong He was very anxious when he heard the sound outside, and he didn't dare to come in, so he had to ask cautiously in front of the palace gate: "Your Majesty, do you want the servants to come in and serve?" ”

Pei Zhao's eyes were as cold as ice, his voice calmed down, he said "no", and looked at Ye Jingzhi again, he didn't dare to dodge when the inkstone smashed over, the inkstone smashed his head and bleed, the pitch-black ink mixed with blood flowed all over his face, and he looked very terrifying, but he still wiped away the blood on his eyes with one hand, and kowtowed in pain: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!" ”

"You don't need to thank me, I'm afraid of smashing you to death, and it will be troublesome to find a suitable person to talk to her." Pei Zhao's eyes were red, and he said coldly: "Don't think that she will take advantage of it by looking at you more and talking to you a few more words, I will tell you today that you are no different from those birds and birds in Fanyu Hall, even if you die, she will not be half distracted from you!" ”

This remark is categorical, in fact, only he knows how weak he is. He clearly knew very well that his Ah Ying liked Ye Jingzhi, and only in front of Ye Jingzhi would she smile so happily, and she didn't want to believe it, this is also a fact, like an extremely blunt knife, slowly cutting one by one at the tip of his heart, it was really painful.

Ye Jingzhi's severe pain was unbearable, and he couldn't help but tremble: "The lower official committed a capital crime today, please give the lower official a death!" ”

If he really killed Ye Jingzhi, what would Ah Ying look like? How much would she hate herself? Pei Zhao didn't dare to think that if there was really that day, it would be better to die in the dense forest of Baiyue and not meet her at all.

The water in the leak fell drop by drop, making a slight and clear sound, and after a long time, Pei Zhao called: "Tong He." ”

Tong He had been guarding outside the hall, and quickly and silently flashed in, seeing that Ye Jingzhi's face and body were all red and black, and the wounds on his head were still oozing blood, his heart was horrified, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and asked respectfully: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Pei Zhao said indifferently: "Send a royal doctor to show him, and he will paint the palace banquet at the time of the time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Pei Zhao got up and walked out of the Yanhe Hall quickly, Tong He couldn't, so he had to tell Yuan Lu to come in and take care of Ye Jingzhi, and he took three steps and two steps to chase after him, Ye Jingzhi was already dizzy, and was so supported by Yuan Lu, only to feel that his eyes were full of weakness, and his eyes were dark, and he was no longer conscious.

......

When Su Ying woke up, it was close to dusk, Duan Niang walked in lightly, and saw that she was hugging the quilt in a daze, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "The slave was about to come in and ask Niangniang to get up, but I didn't expect Niangniang to wake up first." ”

After she freshened up, she walked out of the dormitory, Pei Ming was holding the peeled quirk, threw one high, and opened her mouth wide to pick it up, having a lot of fun, and rushed over very excitedly when she saw her: "The queen mother must be very hungry after sleeping for so long, Ah Ming is reluctant to eat pine nut candy, so he deliberately keeps it to eat with the queen mother!" ”

After eating the pine nut candy, Su Ying and Pei Ming came to Ninghe Palace in a phoenix. Ninghe Palace is built on Qionghua Mountain, and there are stacked Qiong Towers, Spring Dyeing Pavilion and Snow Fragrance Pavilion on both sides, all of which are decorated with vermilion lacquer gold tiles, lined with the Qiong flowers that are white as jade all over the mountain, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra came along the breeze, very ethereal and beautiful, because the best scenery in this place is the Qionghua, Wu Yuehua specially ordered people to put the Qionghua in the flower bottle, or weave it into a flower ball to hang on the wall, and lit the incense, the whole hall seems to be submerged by the Qionghua, accompanied by the wisps of fragrance, as if in the fairyland.

When Su Ming walked into the hall, Pei Zhao was already sitting inside, Pei Ming couldn't wait to rush over with his little short legs, and the little yellow door that followed behind him hurriedly followed with a tray, and presented the things on it to Pei Zhao, Pei Ming said triumphantly: "Brother Huang, this is a birthday gift from Ah Ming, you will definitely like it!" ”

Pei Zhao didn't have any expression on his face, but he still picked up the scroll and unfolded it to look at it, and there was a man, a woman and a child painted on it, who were floating around the water's edge, obviously the scene next to the Taiye Pool that day.

This painting was held by Pei Zhao in his hand, only he and Su Ming saw it, Su Ming couldn't help rubbing Pei Ming's head, and boasted: "Ah Ming's painting skills have improved so much, this painting is very good!" ”

Pei Duo, who was sitting at the bottom, laughed when he heard this: "The younger brother originally wanted to wait for the feast to disperse and then offer the birthday gift to the imperial brother, but let Xiao Ah Ming take the lead, looking at the expression of the queen mother, Xiao Ah Ming's painting must be very good." ”

Where can the child withstand such praise, Pei Ming said happily: "The queen mother specially invited Mr. Ye from Danqing Pavilion to teach me to paint, and he taught me well!" Of course, Ah Ming is also very smart! ”

Pei Zhao's expression was cold, he closed the painting with his hand, and said lightly to Pei Ming: "I am very satisfied with your congratulatory gift, take a seat." ”

Pei Zhao was very wrong today, Su Ying had already noticed it when he saw him, and now he saw him sitting on the main seat with an expressionless face, drinking glass after glass of wine, and his heart was even more flustered. She quietly asked Pei Zhao, "What's wrong with you?" Where is anyone who is not happy about their birthday? ”

Pei Zhao glanced at her and said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm very happy." ”

It's all a fantasy! The people sitting at the bottom soon sensed that something was wrong, and saw that the feast was almost finished, and the dance of the pear orchard was finished. Pei Zheng was the first to pull his princess up and say goodbye: "The younger brother sees that the imperial brother looks tired, it is better to ask the imperial brother to rest early, the younger brother will ...... it."

"I'm not in a hurry." Pei Zhao drank the wine in the cup, poured another full glass and signaled to Pei Zheng: "You accompany me to drink a few more glasses." ”

Pei Zheng had no choice but to sit down again, this palace banquet was handled by Wu Yuehua, she saw Pei Zhao look like this, she was very worried in her heart, so she had to say cautiously: "Your Majesty, the concubine is stupid, and she has never done such a big thing before, if you don't do it well, please forgive your majesty." ”

A smile appeared in Sun Miaoyi's eyes, Yun Shan glanced at Wu Yuehua worriedly, Pei Zhao saw the situation clearly, and said lightly: "You did a good job, Fang Cai's dance is not bad, teach them to dance again." ”

The music that had been played once sounded again, and because it was too late, Wu Yuehua had to order someone to add a few more lamps in the hall, so that he could see the figure of the dancing girl clearly. But Pei Zhao didn't look down, just sat quietly on the main seat.

Pei Zhao was really weird today, because seeing him drinking cup after glass, Su Ying had to quietly pull his sleeve: "Don't drink anymore, what if you have a headache tomorrow?" ”

Pei Zhao glanced at her when he heard this, and suddenly smiled: "You also know that today is my birthday, and it doesn't hurt for me to drink a few more glasses of wine." ”

This was said very childishly, she had never seen Pei Zhao like this, and she only said softly like a little doll: "Actually, I prepared a birthday gift for you, if you are drunk, you won't be able to see it." ”

Pei Zhao finally put down the wine glass, looked at her deeply, and ordered: "I'm tired, so let's disperse." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and left with apprehension, Su Ying was worried about Pei Zhao, so she had to follow him and walk towards Changle Palace together. As soon as she walked out of the hall, she saw a very familiar figure, she looked at it through the moonlight, and couldn't help exclaiming:

"Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you?"
