He slept heavily that night, but I couldn't sleep, perhaps because of a heavy body on my body and a gloomy nightmare on my mind, until dawn, when I slept lightly for a while.

When I slowly woke up, my body was already a little lighter, but it seemed that someone was staring at me, and that gaze made me a little uneasy even in my dreams, and finally slowly opened my eyes.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Pei Yuanhao sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed neatly, looking down at me.

His gaze was darker, darker, and more gloomy than last night, and at first glance, even in the morning light, I subconsciously shivered.

What's wrong?

After being silent for a while, the voice of the Jade Gonggong suddenly came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Emperor? Why is he here at this time?

I looked surprised and hurriedly wanted to get up, but Pei Yuanhao stretched out his hand and pressed me back to the bed, I looked at him in confusion, only to hear him say in a low voice: "Lie down and don't move." After saying that, he got up and straightened his clothes, and then lifted the beaded curtain and walked out.

Although he asked me to lie still, but the person who came was the emperor after all, I still carefully curled up to the side of the bed, looking outside through layers of curtains and shaking bead curtains, only to see the emperor slowly walked in, he was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a crown and a broad belt, and his clothes fluttered, and walked in front of Pei Yuanhao.

"The son visits his father."

"Get up."

The emperor waved his sleeves, Pei Yuanhao immediately stood up and said, "I don't know if my father went to his son's bedroom early in the morning, what important things to explain?" ”

"That day in the Criminal Department, you said that you were going south to investigate the case, why have so many days passed, and I haven't seen you leave, when are you going to go?"

"Father, the son plans to leave today."

"Oh?"

Not only the emperor, but even I was secretly taken aback when I sat on the bed, and thought that Pei Yuanhao would delay this matter indefinitely, but I didn't expect him to go out today, without any warning at all, this person is doing things, really-

"Since you're leaving today, you must have been well prepared, right?"

"Father Xie cares, and his sons have already been prepared."

As they spoke, they walked slowly, and I saw them walking all the way to the desk next to the bed closest to the bead curtain, and the emperor flipped through a few books on the table, and said with a smile: "Well, these ancient books are not available in the library, where did you get them?" ”

"Erchen borrowed it from the Inner Pavilion."

"Oh, the Inner Pavilion." When he said these three words, the emperor's voice slowly dragged on, looked back at him and said, "That palace maid named Yue Qingying is from the Inner Hidden Pavilion, right?" ”

I was secretly taken aback when I suddenly heard my name, Pei Yuanhao's face was still indifferent, only a little light flashed in his eyes: "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he smiled again: "Father, why did you suddenly mention her again?" ”

The emperor didn't speak, just sat down at the desk, picked up a book and opened it, and said casually while reading: "Since this case has not been tried yet, it is better to let her go back to the inner cabinet first." ”
