Those black and white eyes, with a hint of astonishment and dazedness, looked at me wide.

And at this moment, the moment I met his gaze, I only felt that the frozen blood in my whole body began to flow, and the mass of flesh and blood in my chest began to beat again.

Liu Qinghan stood there, looking at me with a complicated expression, although he stood next to the carriage and didn't move, but the hand hanging down his sleeve trembled almost spasmodically.

He and I looked at each other like this, as if we had never seen each other so clearly.

For some reason, I seemed to see pain in his eyes.

At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw the man with a gloomy face, the anger in his eyes was almost spreading, and he didn't say anything, but the people around him seemed to feel that intimidating aura, Liu Li, who originally wanted to come forward and say something, glanced at him and swallowed his words back.

My heart trembled.

I didn't control myself.

He asked me to control my eyes, but this time, I couldn't even control my own actions, once I thought that Liu Qinghan might be in that carriage, maybe pierced by the sharpened bamboo, I just felt that the world had changed color, where could I control myself?

But this man, he won't care about that.

As soon as I saw Pei Yuanhao's appearance, I didn't dare to look at Liu Qinghan anymore, and it was not an exaggeration to say that I was so frightened that I swallowed it back with tears, and the whole person was a little prostrated because of his safety, stumbling two steps and almost falling, Nian Shen ran up at this time and hugged my legs: "Aunt Qing......"

I looked down at him, there were still tears on his little face, and I said in shock, "Aunt Qing, I'm so scared." ”

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to hug him, trembling and said, "Your Highness, don't be afraid. ”

"Aunt Qing, why are you trembling? Are you sick? ”

"I, Aunt Qing, was also frightened."

I deliberately said this sentence very loudly, and I said it to Nian Shen, and it was also said to Pei Yuanhao.

This Ninety-Five Supreme stood there, still silent, and I don't know if it was because this danger affected his mood, or because the color of the surrounding bamboo leaves was reflected on his face, his face seemed to be a little blue, and the guards didn't dare to step forward, and only after a while did a bold and cautious walk over: "Your Majesty...... Poor protection of lowly grades. ”

“……”

He still didn't speak, just looked at this side heavily.

"The crime of lowly rank deserves death."

“……”

Although there was nothing major in his silence, the people around him were frightened, and they knelt down one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.

After a long time, I heard him say word by word: "Don't deserve to die." ”

He looked at me coldly and said, "Just know what you need to do." ”

The guards all kowtowed and said in unison, "Inferior Commander!" ”

After saying that, a group of men and horses scattered in all directions, presumably to search the surroundings, and the rest of the people partly went to deal with the carriage, and the rest escorted him back into the golden carriage.

Only then did I realize that the carriage that had fallen into the ditch was empty.

It turned out - he had expected it a long time ago!

Only then did I remember that the two teams of men and horses that were dispatched from the annex last night might have come to investigate the situation around here, so he should have known that someone had set a vicious trap here, so he deliberately used an empty carriage to steal beams and change pillars.

And now-

I stood in place, still trembling with palpitations, and the people around me didn't speak, but the guards who stayed behind were swords in their hands, vigilantly guarding the surroundings, and they didn't let go of any wind and grass.

Time, little by little, Pei Yuanhao was still standing there, not even moving, even if I kept my head down, I could feel the scorching gaze that almost penetrated my body.

It was a long time before the guards were heard returning, but there was no sign of the Assassin.

This is to be expected.

Looking back at the trap where the carriage fell, you can see that this trap has been set up a long time ago, and no one will manipulate it, as long as the carriage passes through the ravine, it will be activated, and the person who wants to set the trap seems to be unable to control who the organ will hurt, but in fact, this trap is very clear, pointing to Fu Badai's master and apprentice!

If the emperor travels, there are rules on how to arrange the car, if the regular patrol, the emperor is at the forefront, but if it is just a trip, then the emperor will be at the end, and the person with the lowest status will be at the front.

Moreover, the carriages in this convoy, two of which were sat by the emperor and the eldest prince, drove directly out of the imperial city, such carriages would add a mezzanine layer to the six sides of the carriage, and the two sharpened bamboos would never break such a carriage, but the carriage that Fu Badai and they were riding in had already come to the other courtyard in advance, and it was not used by the royal family, so it was easy to be broken by such a mechanism.

In other words, the assassin knew the royal family very well.

I held Nian Shen in my arms, only to feel that my back was full of cold sweat, and I was blown by the wind, revealing a cold feeling to the bone.

Through the cover of Nian Shen, I looked at Pei Yuanzhen on the side.

She also stood by our carriage all the time, the expression on her face was very complicated, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad, but when she raised her head and looked at Liu Qinghan on the other end, she seemed to subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

My heart tugged slightly.

I also looked at the person on the other end, he seemed to be very uncomfortable, but it was very difficult to stand there, and Fu Badai's voice came from the carriage: "Light cold, what's wrong?" ”

He spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "It's okay." Teacher, the road is uneven. ”

"Oh." The old man in the car seemed to smile and said, "It's always flat, get in the car." ”

"Yes."

He agreed, looked at me again, turned and boarded the carriage.

This time, his skills were not so athletic, and his movements on the carriage seemed to be a little difficult, and even one foot was empty, and a guard next to him immediately went up to help him, he only lowered his head, said "thank you", and lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

I looked at the flickering curtain, listening to the chaotic breathing of the eldest princess behind me, and my thoughts became heavy.

This time the narrow road was attacked, and everyone knew in their hearts that this was the prelude to the coming of a great storm, but it did not stir up too many waves, leaving a team of people to search the bamboo forest and deal with the fallen carriages, and the other cars continued to drive towards the imperial city.

When I passed the palace gate, I still couldn't help but lift the curtain to look.

In sight, it was already the golden and brilliant nine-fold three halls of the imperial city, Qionglou Yuyu, and the layers of red walls that could not escape, and the wheels staggered into the ground and drove in, and Fu Badai entered the imperial city without danger.

This time when he left the palace and returned to the palace, Pei Yuanhao ordered not to let people come to greet him, so when he arrived at the palace gate, there were not many people, and after the carriage carrying Fu Badai's master and apprentice entered the imperial city, he went to the place that the emperor arranged for them, and when I got off the carriage, I only had time to see the back of the carriage, and gradually disappeared at the end of the red wall.

The rest of the people, everyone also dispersed.

I only felt that I was so tired that I was panicked, Nian Shen was too, lying in my arms and falling asleep, or to pick up our buckle Looking at my face a little pale, I carefully took Nian Shen over, the child's white and tender face rubbed on the sleeve of the button, but did not wake up, and continued to sleep.

Kou'er smiled and said, "It's hard work, adult." ”

I just laughed, but this smile was so reluctant that I felt tired, and they also felt something, so they didn't speak, and just walked towards Jingren Palace.

As soon as he walked up a corridor, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

When I looked back, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over and said to me, "Lord Yue, the emperor has decreed that you will come to the imperial study to meet me." ”

“…… What? ”

My heart sank: "Your Majesty, announce me?" ”

"Lord Huiyue's words, yes."

“……”

I stood there, only to feel a chill in my back, and Kou'er seemed to feel something, so I stepped forward and said softly, "My lord? ”

I glanced back at her, but there was nothing left in my eyes, only a kind of exhaustion and fear that came out of my bones.

Sure enough, he didn't let me go so easily.

He said before, let me control my eyes, but today I didn't control myself, when I watched the carriage fall and was pierced by bamboo poles, I couldn't even care about my own life, how could I control my eyes?

What is he going to do now that he is announcing me?

In fact, up to now, I'm not afraid that he will beat me, detain me or execute something, I really don't care anymore, people have reached a point, there is nothing to lose except for one life, but now that Liu Qinghan has arrived in the imperial city, I must not affect him because of myself.

Thinking of this, I bit my lower lip hard: "Okay." ”

After speaking, I was about to leave, but I carefully pulled my sleeve: "My lord, do you want to sue Queen Sù?" ”

"......" I shook my head, "I don't need to mention it. ”

There are things that don't need to involve Chang Qing.

I glanced at Nian Shen in her arms, then turned around and followed the little eunuch away.

After a while, when I arrived at the imperial study, when I stepped into the threshold, I found that Pei Yuanhao was not inside, and when I stood at the door, I saw Father-in-law Yu coming from the side and saluting me: "Lord Yue." ”

"Father-in-law Jade."

After coming out of the cold palace for so long, I haven't had a chance to say anything to him alone, he seems to be much older, his hair is almost all white, his originally white and chubby face is also full of wrinkles, and his shrewd eyes in the past are also showing a pale fatigue at the moment, he smiled and walked up to me: "Congratulations, sir, peace." ”

"Got you in mind."

He smiled, I looked at the imperial study, and asked softly, "Father-in-law, what about the emperor?" ”

"The emperor is now in the Yuhua Palace, let you wait here now." As he spoke, he walked up to me gently, and finally sighed and said, "For a while, you speak carefully." ”

“……”

I understood what he meant, nodded, and he sighed again, then turned and walked out, closing the door gently.

The door closed behind me, and I watched as the sunlight on the gilded ground finally disappeared under my feet, as if I had suddenly fallen into a trap, and the cold air from the ground and outside the window paper quickly melted into this imperial study, permeating every inch of my skin.

I stood in the middle of the room, silent, only my invisible chest, violently shaking.

I don't know how long it took, when both feet were a little numb, the door behind me was slowly pushed open.

A man's shadow was cast on me.

As soon as I heard his breathing, my whole body trembled, but I didn't dare to move, listening to his footsteps slowly approaching, a breath that belonged to him, mixed with the aroma of Nangong Lizhu's body, came from behind, as if the woman with hateful eyes, in this room, looked at me and him coldly.
