After discussing the matter with Liang Run, it was already late.

Happy times are always short-lived, and even if Zhao Yao is unwilling, he has to go back to the palace.

"Well, how did the day go by so quickly?" The day was too short, he hadn't had enough fun, and he was about to go back to the palace. "The next time I leave the palace, I have to wait for next month." Thinking that he would have to wait a month for the next time he left the palace, Zhao Yao felt that the whole world had become gray.

Liang Run was also reluctant to let his nephew go, and wanted his nephew to stay for a few more days, but as a prince, his nephew couldn't stay outside the palace for a long time.

"A month will pass soon."

"A month is thirty years." Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said with a bitter face.

Liang Run was amused by Zhao Yao's bitter and hateful appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, and changed the topic: "When will the king return to Beijing tomorrow?" ”

"It seems like afternoon." mentioned the return of the king to Beijing, Zhao Yao's attention was successfully diverted, "When the second brother comes back, Jingzhong and the palace will become uneasy." ”

"You and your sister should be careful in the palace. If something happens, ask your bird friends to send me a letter and I'll find a way to help you. ”

Zhao Yao smiled comfortingly at Liang Run: "Second uncle, the second brother's return has no effect on me and my mother, so don't worry about us." "The second brother came back, and it had the greatest impact on the prince's brother. It didn't have any effect on him, the unfavored prince.

"Does it really have no effect?" Liang Run felt that when the acting king came back from winning the battle this time, it would inevitably set off turbulent waves. He was worried that Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi were innocently involved.

"My mother and I are not important people, how can we be involved."

While he was talking, Tongxi appeared at the door of the study, he knocked lightly on the door, and reminded Zhao Yao: "Childe, it's not too early, we should go back." ”

"Second uncle, if you have something, write a letter to Laiman, and it will come to the palace to find me."

"Okay."

Zhao Yao explained some things again, so he changed his clothes into a beggar and prepared to return to the palace.

Liang Run sent Zhao Yao to the entrance of the alley, "Yao Yao, you and your sister must be well in the palace!" Sometimes, he thinks it's a good thing that his sister and Yao Yao are in the palace. Sometimes, he felt that it was not a good thing for Yao Yao and his sister to be in the palace.

"Second uncle, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts, my mother and I will be fine." He and his mother are small transparent existences in the palace, and when the king comes back, no one pays attention to them. "Second uncle, I'll go back, and Dingyuan and Uncle Zhang will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, I will train them well."

Zhao Yao didn't say anything more, waved his hand at Liang Run, and left with Tongxi.

Liang Run stood at the entrance of the alley and watched for a long time, then turned back and went back.

Zhao Yao and Tongxi walked in the dim alley. I didn't expect to go halfway and meet those beggars who beat Dingyuan before. Seeing that Zhao Yao and Tongxi were carrying bulging burdens, they showed greedy looks, and went to snatch their burdens without saying a word.

A few screams rang out in the dim alley, but they didn't attract the attention of others.

Something like this happens often, and passers-by have long been surprised and won't meddle in their affairs.

Several beggars who wanted to snatch Zhao Yao were thrown to the ground, and they curled up on the ground with painful expressions.

Zhao Yao asked Tongxi to teach them a hard lesson, which was a small revenge for Dingyuan.

Before entering Pei's Mansion, Zhao Yao first asked Laiman to check around to see if anyone was hiding near Pei's Mansion.

Lai Man carefully checked around Pei's Mansion and made sure that there was no one, so he came to Zhao Yao and them.

Zhao Yao and Tongxi "sneakily" walked into Pei's mansion. He didn't rush back to the palace, but fed them full of food first. Then, he went to several important rooms in Pei's mansion to take a look.

Pei's mansion has been abandoned for twenty or thirty years, many rooms are dilapidated, and weeds have grown, and under the white moonlight, it looks very eerie.

Tongxi carried a lantern to illuminate Zhao Yao. He saw that Zhao Yao had been knocking on the floor, and asked curiously and suspiciously, "Your Highness, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm looking to see if there's a secret passage." Zhao Yao knocked on the floor for a while, but did not find any secret passages or hidden grids. "It's that I'm thinking too much and there's nothing."

"Your Highness, if there was a secret passage or a secret grid here, it would have been discovered a long time ago."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, if we don't go back, Niangniang will be worried."

"Let's go, then."

Before entering the secret passage, Zhao Yao told them to guard Pei's mansion. If there are any strange people who come to Pei's Mansion to look for something, be sure to inform him.

In the Kunde Palace, Liang Zhaoyi has been waiting for Zhao Yao. Seeing that it was about to be the end of the unitary time, and her son had not returned, this made her a little worried.

Just as she was about to go to the cold palace, Zhao Yao and Tongxi returned.

Seeing that her son came back intact, Liang Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's fleshy little face, and asked sternly with a straight face, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"It hurts...... The concubine spared her life......" Zhao Yao said while begging for mercy, "Something happened on the way back. ”

When Liang Zhaoyi heard this, he let go of his hand, frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?" ”

"I met a few beggars who wanted to rob us...... Zhao Yao briefly told Liang Zhaoyi about what happened on the way back.

"It's okay, let's go take a shower first, and we'll have dinner later." Although Tongxi is a eunuch, he is very skilled, and with him by Zhao Yao's side, Liang Zhaoyi is relieved that his son is out of the palace.

After Zhao Yao finished bathing, he changed into clean clothes. Liang Zhaoyi asked Gui Xing and the others to bring the dinner directly to the side hall.

Sitting on the couch, Zhao Yao had dinner while telling Liang Zhaoyi what happened when he left the palace.

Liang Zhaoyi listened very carefully, and was very in favor of Zhao Yao's decision to let Liang Run adopt some beggars and orphans and cultivate them. I felt strange that Shu Di sent people to Pei's Mansion to look for things.

"In the past two days, I carefully flipped through the books and codex left by Pei Guifei, and I didn't find anything special."

"Mother, do you think there is anything in Pei Mansion that is worth Han Zhong risking to send someone into Beijing to find it?"

"It should be something important, but when Pei's house was raided, everything was included in the treasury."

"Mother, do you think it will be a treasure map?" Zhao Yao's brain opened his mind and speculated, "Back then, Pei Mansion was extremely prosperous, and it must have been very rich, would Pei Mansion take precautions and transfer a treasure to other places." Then, this matter was known to Han Zhong. ”

"Unlikely. Back then, Pei Mansion was indeed extremely prosperous because of Pei Guifei's favor, but Pei Mansion was not a big family, even if Pei Mansion made money at that time, it was unlikely to make too much. Liang Zhaoyi analyzed, "Moreover, the Pei family did not expect that Pei Guifei would fall out of favor, and it is impossible to secretly transfer a treasure to other places just in case." ”

"That's not what a treasure map is."

"I don't know."

"Forget it, no matter, anyway, Han Zhong won't send anyone to Pei's Mansion again." Zhao Yao didn't bother to think about it anymore, lowered his head and continued to eat.

"This matter involves Han Zhong, I'm afraid it's not simple." Liang Zhaoyi frowned tightly, and said with a somewhat serious face, "After all, Han Zhong is a remnant of the previous dynasty. ”

"It's not simple and it doesn't matter to us, and we don't need to care too much." Although Zhao Yao was curious about what Han Zhong was looking for, he also knew that curiosity could kill cats. "If we care too much, we're going to get in trouble."

Liang Zhaoyi nodded and said, "You're right. ”

"Mother, did anyone come to me today?" Zhao Yao asked, "Starling didn't come to me, did he?" ”

"Nope." Liang Zhaoyi said, "The acting king is about to return to the palace, and the eighth prince should not have time to take care of you." ”

"That's right, the starling wants to stay by the prince's brother's side, how can he pay attention to me." Zhao Yao ate a full meal, put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the towel from Gui Xing's hand, wiped his mouth, and wiped his hands again.

"When the king comes back, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil in the palace." The atmosphere in the palace has been a little strange these days. The dark tide that had been hidden under the surface tranquility was already surging.
