174.Chapter 174 What can I do for you, slave?
They were walking so fast that I almost had to trot to keep up, and he stopped and said to me, "You don't have to follow." ”
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, but he had already said, "Go back!" ”
The two words are simple and neat, I am not allowed to speak anymore, he has already walked away from Yang Yunhui, I stood silently at the gate, looking at their distant backs, and my heart was a little nervous.
The next time, I stayed alone in his room, watching the green smoke in the incense burner rise, and then slowly dissipate in the air, but the whole Yangzhou did not have such leisure, the disaster process, the price of rice was raised, and the lack of food was enough, which was enough to cause chaos, even if I did not see it with my own eyes, I could vaguely feel that the panic brought by the grain was like a dark cloud outside, densely spread over Yangzhou Cheng, and it was so depressing that people could not breathe.
It wasn't until the lights were on that Pei Yuanhao came back.
His face was even more unsightly than when he left, and as soon as he entered the room and sat down at the table, the flickering candle flame shone on his face, where there was no trace of expression, nor a trace of warmth, but the evil aura on his body was even more terrifying.
I vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and cautiously stepped forward: "Your Highness." ”
He was silent for a long time before he slowly looked back at me, but the first thing he said made me stunned - "Have you eaten?" ”
“…… Yes? I looked at him stupidly, I never thought that the first thing he would ask me about was this, and I subconsciously shook my head: "Not yet." ”
"Why haven't you eaten yet?"
“……”
"There's no shortage of you."
“……”
I stood there and pondered for a long time, I felt as if he was joking, but this is really not like him, Pei Yuanhao can be killed and killed, or he can be cold and gloomy, but how can he joke with me?
But after thinking about it, I still understand, he is too tight, I heard the people who came and went in the state capital said that Yangzhou City was in a lot of chaos this time, and it was not just the victims who wanted to eat, the people coaxed the grain, those grain merchants were all famous snakes here, even Hong Wenquan colluded with them, and they could only get some fractions, these people were extremely powerful in Yangzhou, they wanted to hoard grain to make black money, and the officials had no way at all.
And Pei Yuanhao is not only facing this one thing, what is the situation in the capital, there is no news yet, even if he stays, his heart has already flown back to the imperial city, and a delay here for a day may have an immeasurable impact on him in the future.
Now he may be more difficult than ever.
Just thinking about it like this, I actually had a faint heartache, although I knew that I shouldn't have such a love for this man, but the slight throbbing pain in my chest couldn't deceive people.
After being silent for a long time, I slowly walked up to him: "Your Highness." ”
……
"Slave, can I do anything for you?"
……
Although I can't solve your problems, for now, even if I can do something for you, it is good.
He looked at me too, and even though those dark eyes were so close to the candlelight, there was no light at all, like an endless deep cold pool.
Suddenly, without warning, he picked me up.
"Ahh I let out a low cry of start, and before I could react, he had already carried me to the bed, and the candle flame was blown by the startled gust of wind, and in the dim light, I saw that his general face was hidden in the shadows, only the eyes were amazingly bright.
With a wave of his sleeve, the candle flame was completely extinguished, and in the darkness, he leaned down and pressed down.
