Princess Minghui was stared at by his awe-inspiring gaze, and the rest of the words were in her mouth, unable to speak again.

No matter how high-sounding the words are, they can't hide the fact that the royal family has broken the agreement.

And this agreement happens to be what the Pei family values the most.

"That's it." Pei Ji stood up.

"Sir!" Princess Minghui nervously followed him, trying to keep her, but she didn't know what to say.

…… Look, between her and him, although they are one on the surface, in essence, they never belong to the same camp.

The door closed in front of her.

Princess Minghui's face was gloomy, she stood silently for a while, quickly rushed to the window, and through the glass window, she saw Pei Ji holding a black umbrella, walking all the way down the mountain in the heavy snow.

Princess Minghui looked at his back blankly, after this farewell, is there a chance to see him again?

I don't know how long it took, but the female officer knocked on the door.

"Princess, Mr. Pei is gone."

Princess Minghui's eyelashes trembled, and she was excited, "I know." ”

The female officer has taken care of Princess Minghui since she was a child and knows her girlish feelings well. Seeing the princess's depressed expression, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Princess, did you quarrel with Mr. Pei?" ”

Princess Minghui smiled bitterly, "This is much worse than quarreling." ”

This is a rupture, a rupture between the royal family and the Pei clan. And she had no choice but to stand on the royal side.

More than 70 years ago, when foreign enemies invaded and the country was in crisis, it was the Pei family who found the royal family that was about to overthrow, supported her great-grandfather to succeed to the throne, and turned the tide and pacified the world in the midst of the hustle and bustle of war.

It is also the Pei family, who has been silently supporting the royal family behind all these years, allowing the empire to gradually grow and get on the right track.

When she was young, wishful thinking thought that the Pei family was a subject of the empire and was loyal to the imperial family, which was a matter of course. Only by clinging to the royal family can the Pei family gain supreme glory.

It wasn't until she grew up that she understood through the teachings of her grandfather and father that she understood that if there was really dependence, it was also the royal family that was attached to the Pei family, and the status and glory of the royal family today were given by the Pei family.

She remembered what she had asked a few years ago.

"Father, since the Pei family wants keels, just give them to them. We've always had that relationship, isn't it? ”

Her father admonished her very harshly, "Minghui, you will be a female monarch in the future and inherit the entire empire." You have to remember that the monarchy must be above the power of ownership. No force can hold the monarch's power hostage, still less pose the slightest threat to the monarch's power. ”

Yes, according to his father's words, even though the Pei family had the merit of founding the country before, now it has become a big trouble.

The royal family has connived at the expansion of various chaebol forces over the years, not to hold the Pei family hostage.

Just like Pei Ji said, the only weakness of the Pei family, the only thing they care about, is the keel. This is the mission that they have guarded from ancient times to the present.

Only with the keel can they be balanced.

In the past ten years, the keels have been distributed everywhere, the forces in the empire have reached a balance, and the relationship between the royal family and the Pei family is also very good.

But in just a few months, the format changed dramatically.

Seeing that the Pei family had collected all 8 keels, the royal family donated the remaining two keels to the Rong family, hoping that the Rong family could contain the Pei family, which is understandable.

She understood what her father and grandfather were thinking.
