The last of the yellow leaves fell to the ground, trampled by a hurried foot, and shattered into powder.

I raised my head, looked at the anxious look of Father-in-law Yu, and hurriedly walked over with a few little eunuchs, and when I saw me standing at the door, my face showed a little joy, and I hurriedly walked in front of me: "Young girl." ”

My heart moved: "Father-in-law, are you coming-"

"Young girl, it turns out that you came back to the court, and our family almost couldn't find you." Before he could ask, Father-in-law Yu said, "Hurry up and go with our family to see His Highness." ”

Is it really Pei Yuanhao who asked him to come to me, is he really going to give me amnesty?

As soon as I heard this, my heart suddenly swelled with ecstasy, and I hurriedly followed him out, but I found that the road was not right, I heard that Pei Yuanhao had now moved to the Taiji Palace, but now this road is not the Taiji Palace, but the Chengqian Palace.

"Father-in-law Yu, where are you taking me?"

"Go see Your Highness." As he walked, he said: "You don't know, His Highness hasn't returned to the Taiji Hall in the past few nights, but has been drinking all night in the Chengqian Palace, how can it go on like this, there are still three days to go before the enthronement ceremony, and there are so many things waiting for him to deal with, his body can't be so bad." ”

My heart sank suddenly, and even my steps froze there.

Father-in-law Yu sensed something, looked back, and immediately walked in front of me: "What's wrong with you, don't hurry up and go with our family." ”

I looked at him and said, "Your Highness is in the Chengqian Palace, drinking?" ”

"Yes, we won't listen to any persuasion, young girl, you are the only one in this palace who can say a few words to His Highness, you go over to persuade him, but I am afraid that His Highness will still be willing to listen."

The joy that was churning in my heart just now disappeared at this moment, and I suddenly felt that my heart was beating so tired, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment, and all the strength of my body was withdrawn at this moment, and I looked up at the familiar palace in front of me, but I couldn't take a step at all.

"Father-in-law, I'm afraid I can't, you better let me go back."

"Oh, you can't do it!"

Father-in-law Yu didn't listen to me at all, and dragged me all the way towards the Chengqian Palace.

I only felt that my whole body was prostration, and I could only be dragged by him to the Chengqian Palace, and just when I approached the door, I saw a pretty figure walking out inside.

Shen Rou!

She was dressed in a fox fur, and she still looked graceful, and there was a smile on her charming face, but the smile seemed a little reluctant.

I haven't seen her since the last time I said goodbye on the way back to Beijing, but now that she has openly appeared in the palace, it seems that a big matter has been decided, and Shen Gongyun doesn't have to hide this matter anymore.

Father-in-law Yu is also a good-eyed person, and as soon as he bumped into her, he immediately leaned over and saluted: "Miss Shen." ”

Shen Rou originally turned around to leave, but suddenly saw me, a little light flashed in her eyes, and slowly walked over, I also hurriedly leaned over to salute her, she looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Yu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Oh, she is the maid of His Highness's side, and the slave maid brought her over to take care of His Highness's daily life."

"Hasn't Your Highness seen anyone for the past two days, wouldn't bringing her over make Your Highness angry?"

No wonder she came out of it with a stiff smile just now, it turned out that Pei Yuanhao didn't even see her, my heart became colder and colder, and I reluctantly smiled: "Yes, the slave and maid come over, I'm afraid it's useless." ”

Just as he was saying this, Pei Yuanhao's impatient voice suddenly came from inside: "Who's outside, get out!" ”

When I heard this, my face changed slightly, and Father-in-law Yu hurriedly said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the slave maid brought Yue Qingying over to serve His Highness." ”

There was a sudden silence inside, my heart was pounding, Shen Rou frowned slightly, and just about to say something, I heard Pei Yuanhao's deep voice say, "Let her in." ”

Shen Rou's face changed suddenly, and she looked at me with wide eyes.

Father-in-law Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pushed my back with his elbow: "What are you still doing in a daze, come in!" ”

"......" I couldn't react for a while, and stood there in a daze, until Grandpa Yu impatiently pushed me to the door, and stepped into the empty and dark room, I seemed to come back to my senses, and slowly pushed the door and walked in.

But at this moment, I didn't know what kind of gaze Shen Rou was looking at me with standing behind me.

In the house, it's still the same as that day.

However, it is different, when I walked in here that day, I was so fresh and elegant, even if there was no one, but the light smoke rose in the incense burner, revealing a warm fragrance, as if the past owner here always gave people the feeling of a spring breeze in the past.

But now, everything here seems to be stagnant, with a kind of pressing pressure.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Pei Yuanhao at the table.

Originally, I heard that Gonggong Yu said that he had been drinking in the Chengqian Palace, and I thought that I would see a drunk person when I came in, but he was sitting straight at the table, neatly dressed, and there was not even a trace of messy hair.

Only those eyes, as deep as a bottomless pool, under the smoke of wine, exuded a thick evil breath.

I know, he's not drunk, he's just angry.

"You're here."

I stood a little cramped at the door, looking at the familiar, but completely unfamiliar man, in fact, as a slave, according to what Father-in-law Yu said, I should have stepped forward to persuade him to drink less, or bring him some stomach-warming soup, but now I can't do anything, and I don't want to do anything.

I just want to escape......

Standing holding on to the door for a long time, he slowly poured a glass of wine, brought it to his lips, but did not drink it, but raised his eyes to look at me, his eyes were as cold as the wine in the glass, and said, "Why, you came to watch me drink, so you don't have anything to say to me?" ”

"I ......"

I want to leave the palace, I want to leave, I want to ask you to give me an amnesty.

I don't know how many times these words have been circling in my mind these days, and I was just about to open my mouth when a civil official from the Jixian Hall suddenly ran behind me, kneeling down and saying, "Your Highness." ”

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me and asked him, "How?" ”

"Weichen and others have cleaned up all the documents in the imperial study, the living note hall, and the Chengqian Palace, and every holy decree in the imperial study is worthy of the file, including the excerpts, and the documents in the living note hall are not missing, all of them are summarized in the book."

I was shocked when I heard it on the side, Pei Yuanhao had already begun to pack up all the holy decrees and folds, and also cleaned up all the documents handled by Pei Yuanxiu, was he worried that Pei Yuanxiu would take something important in the palace when he left this time?

However, listening to this civil official, it seems that nothing is missing.

As soon as he thought about it, the civil official said: "However, according to the people who served in the Chengqian Palace, nothing else has been touched here, and the prince-uh, His Highness, he has only taken one thing with him." ”

Pei Yuanhao turned his head to look at him: "What is it?" ”

"It's a set of "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics", I heard that the prince has been putting it at the head of the bed, and when he cleaned up the Chengqian Palace, only this set of books was missing, and the others were not moved."

When Pei Yuanhao heard this, he immediately looked back at the bed behind the screen, and I also looked up there, and sure enough, the head of the bed was empty, and there was nothing.

My fingers holding the door frame trembled, and the tips of my fingertips seemed to be pierced into the wood, and it hurt so much that I felt terrible.

When Pei Yuanhao turned around again, his face had become a little blue, he seemed to grind his teeth, and then said in a deep voice: "Go down." ”

"Yes."

The civil servant bowed down for a moment, then turned and left.

I was still standing in the doorway, although my fingers were grasping the door frame so tightly, and my fingertips seemed to be about to crack, but I couldn't let go, I just felt that my heart was very empty, and if I let go, I might not even be able to stand still.

Pei Yuanxiu, Pei Yuanxiu......

Why is this happening?

I have never done anything for you, even in your opinion, the time when his heart was the quietest, I did not pay anything for you, but you have been silently caring about me, even when you found the jade seal, you never thought of hurting me, and even stood in front of Queen Yin in order to protect me.

Now, you have nothing left, and you can only leave the capital in a wolf bèi, leaving the one qiē you should have, but only taking the set of "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics".

Why......

I owe you so much, how much more do I owe you?

When I thought about it like this, sad tears welled up in my heart, I lowered my head gently, and Pei Yuanhao had slowly stood up and walked towards me step by step.

Maybe it's because he's too tired, his face is very pale, but it's more contoured, and the edges and corners are so sharp that they seem to hurt people at any time, and his expression, obviously his face has no expression, and there is not even any temperature, but when those eyes are looking at me, they give me the illusion that I will be swallowed by him at any time.

I wanted to retreat, but I also knew that in front of him, I had no way out.

So I could only hold on to the door frame, watch him walk up to me, look down into my eyes, and say, "He is really affectionate and righteous to you." ”

“……”

"The jade seal, the holy decree, the fold, I didn't take anything, I only took the set of books you gave him." As he spoke, he suddenly smiled, the smile was very faint, but with an indescribable hideousness: "If you are in the palace, will he take you with him?" ”

“……”

It turned out that he was still thinking about Nangong Lizhu.

This is what hurts him the most, although I don't know what the past is between them, why he is so infatuated with his sister-in-law, but the love is deep and uncomplaining, even if he is rich at the moment, in the end, he is just a person who hurts for love.

Who is better than whom?

Thinking of this, I seemed to be relieved, looked up at him indifferently, he was still staring at me, and said, "Why don't you speak?" When you get here, don't you have anything to tell me? ”

"Your Highness......"

I looked at him and said very lightly and solemnly: "The slave does have a sentence that I want to say to Your Highness." ”
