Qingtou heard the master shout again, and hurriedly lowered his head and left with the palace eunuch.

Pei Xiaoyuan settled down and stepped inside. The Emperor had now risen from his bed, his hands behind his back, and stood in front of him.

He walked up to the emperor, dressed up and saluted.

The emperor glanced at him coldly: "Come with me." After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion.

The emperor's pace was extremely fast, Pei Xiaoyuan accompanied him, and the monarchs and ministers went one after the other, leaving the palace guards far behind.

The emperor didn't stop breathing, and went straight back to the outer hall of the Purple Cloud Palace, which he used as a summon for reading and summoning every day.

Yang Zaien saw that Pei Xiaoyuan also followed up, closed the palace door, and stood outside the door by himself.

The temple has long been lit up.

The emperor stopped in front of the imperial case, turned his back to Pei Xiaoyuan, stood for a moment, slowly turned his head, his beard swept away, his eyes were forbearing, and he swept towards the young courtier standing behind him.

"Ye Xuyu, who is she?"

"Is she my daughter who was lost in my early years?"

The emperor asked these words word by word, almost between his teeth.

Pei Xiaoyuan was silent for a while.

The Emperor waited for a moment, but seeing no answer, he turned slowly, raised his hand, and pointed to his face.

"Why shouldn't you? Do you know you can't hide it anymore? ”

The emperor's hand pointing at him was trembling slightly, and he sneered again, and the laughter sounded like the sound of an old owl who roared in the night from the depths of the ancient forest of ten thousand trees, which made people shudder.

"No wonder the first time I saw her, I felt good-looking! No wonder she cried so sadly when she saw that painting! I was so confused, I didn't even think about it at the time! ”

"And!" The emperor's eyes lit up, his breath was short, and he began to walk around in front of Pei Xiaoyuan.

"If it weren't for her, how could the murals in the west hall be painted so realistically! When I saw the painting, I almost thought it was her mother coming down from the wall! ”

"That's not all! If it weren't for her, who would dare to take the medicine I took? Except for my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law, who else in this world dares to do such a thing! ”

Because of his extreme excitement, the emperor's whole body trembled slightly.

"Heaven has eyes, and finally returned my daughter! She's alive! Am I right? She's my daughter! You've known about it for a long time, but you've been hiding it from me, haven't you? ”

Pei Xiaoyuan was still silent.

"You say! You tell me! If you say it, I will forgive you for your deceit! Instead of sinning, I will reward you! Reward you heavily! ”

The answer to the emperor was still wordless.

The emperor waited for a moment, and his excited face gradually showed anger, and suddenly, with a snap, his palm slapped heavily.

"Get on your knees!" He let out a loud shout.

Pei Xiaoyuan knelt down slowly.

The emperor could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart, and gritted his teeth: "You bold child! The smell of milk has not dried up, and you dare to act like this without telling me! If you don't confess, I have the means to deal with you! ”

He strode up to Pei Xiaoyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and reached out his hand like an eagle's claw, which was now thin but had also held a knife and drank blood, grabbed Pei Xiaoyuan's collar, and forced him to lift his face.

"Say! Is she my daughter, the lord of Hairpin Star, and the princess of Shouchang? ”

The emperor looked down and pressed Pei Xiaoyuan, and asked word by word again.

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at the emperor's bloodshot lion-like eyes, and after hesitating, he suddenly saw that his face was gradually turning blue, and the hand that had been holding his neck to breathe stagnant seemed to be loosened.

He immediately stretched out his arms, supported the bad emperor, and brought the person to the bed.

"Your Majesty is unwell, so the minister will call the imperial doctor first."

He settled himself as the emperor and turned to stay, but one arm was pinched by the emperor's backhand.

The strength of the emperor's five fingers was surprisingly great, and it made Pei Xiaoyuan's arm bones hurt sharply, as if they were about to shatter.

I only heard the emperor sigh with the breath that could not be continued: "Pei Jia'er! You dare to say to me that she is not my daughter? ”

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at the emperor again.

At this moment, facing this Renjun's gray-colored old face, he denied it, and it was so difficult to exit.

"Tell me. I know, you know everything. ”

The emperor's words sounded a little weak.

Pei Xiaoyuan froze for a moment, and finally, under the emperor's gaze, took a few steps back and knelt solemnly.

"As Your Majesty said, she is indeed Your Majesty's princess, the little lord of the hairpin star who was lost in the past."

He said respectfully.

The Emperor stared at him for a moment, and suddenly, with a light of disbelief in ecstasy in his eyes, he snapped off the bed and sat up, smacking the edge of the bed with his palm.

"Great! That's great! I know! I didn't feel wrong! She's really my sister-in-law! ”

He raised his hand, pointed at Pei Xiaoyuan and ordered: "Quick!" Bring her into the palace—"

Before the words fell, he suddenly stood up again, "No, no, I'd better go see her myself!" Where is she at the moment? Still in your home? I'm going to pick her up myself! As he spoke, he hurried out.

"Your Majesty!"

Pei Xiaoyuan turned around on his knees and walked towards the emperor who was walking out quickly.

"Your Majesty just asked the minister a lot of words, but the minister has never heard His Majesty ask, why did she return to Beijing a long time ago, but she didn't want to find Your Majesty's identity?"

If the emperor is pinned down by something, stop at once.

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at the emperor's back and continued: "The minister has the courage to say a word, the princess may not be willing to go back to the palace to recognize His Majesty now. ”

As if piercing a huge beecom's nest, the emperor turned abruptly, and all the excitement and joy on Fang Cai's face disappeared. He stared at Pei Xiaoyuan with both eyes, and asked in a terrifying tone, "What are you talking about?" ”

"As Your Majesty knows, she has already entered Beijing. If she wanted to, how could she wait until now and not tell Your Majesty who she was. Pei Xiaoyuan said in a restrained and respectful tone.

Following his response, the emperor's face distorted slightly, standing in place, motionless.

After a while, there was no other movement in the hall, only the sound of the emperor's increasingly heavy breathing.

Pei Xiaoyuan still knelt on the ground, waiting for the thunderous wrath from the emperor.

"You took her out of the city to the west of the city last night, where did she go?" Suddenly, the emperor asked.

Pei Xiaoyuan didn't respond, and he didn't need to respond to anything, a sudden look quickly swept over the emperor's shocked eyes, "Did you take her to Zhaode Mausoleum?" ”

Pei Xiaoyuan kowtowed to him as a tacit acquiescence.

The emperor's face turned pale, staring at him deadly, and his voice was trembling: "You little ghost of the Pei family!" Last night, you abducted her out of the palace on the fourth watch, just to make her go against me, didn't you? She's my own daughter! You've been hiding it from me for so long, and you dare to act like this behind my back! I, I-"

The emperor also trembled with the voice, looked left and right, went up, and regardless of his hot hands, he picked up a small gilt white copper incense burner that was simmering incense in front of him, and smashed it towards Pei Xiaoyuan. The incense burner hit Pei Xiaoyuan's forehead on one side, and then it bounced to the ground, rolling away, and the burning charcoal fire in it was scattered on the ground along with the incense ball.

Pei Xiaoyuan also had a hole in his head when he boarded, and his flesh was broken and bleeding.

His face was not panicked, and he didn't even blink his eyes much, and said, "Your Majesty has summoned the minister to question, and the minister will say another word." I beg Your Majesty to finish speaking. ”

He bowed respectfully to the Emperor again.

"The princess is full of fists for His Majesty, and her heart is like a bright moon. But why she is unwilling to return to the palace and return to the throne, Your Majesty should know better than the minister. The minister deserves death, but I beg your majesty, no matter what, not to threaten the princess too much. ”

Before he entered the palace, he had changed his official robe. After saying this, he stood up from the ground, untied the gold belt around his waist, took off his scarlet official robe, and finally, in addition to the official hat, he neatly stacked a set of clothes on the ground, leaving only a white robe on his body, and stood in the middle of the temple.

The emperor snorted and panted, and his voice was like a dragon: "Someone! ”

Yang Zaien had already heard the voice in the hall, and he was even more shocked by the abnormal movement of the incense burner on the ground, and rushed in at this time, seeing that Pei Xiaoyuan's forehead was bleeding nonstop, and instantly dyed the placket of the clothes on his body red, and he couldn't help but be frightened.

"Put this disrespectful and deceitful rebel into prison!"

"No one is allowed to see me without my permission."

The Emperor hissed, as if squeezing out of his chest, and finally uttered this sentence.

Chapter 53

Su Yu traveled a long way to Zhaode Mausoleum in the early morning to see the face of his former companion, and was very sad and mournful, but fortunately Pei Xiaoyuan patiently accompanied him all day, and felt a little comforted in his heart. When she came back at this moment, she also felt tired, but when she lay down, she still couldn't sleep, closed her eyes, and sometimes the carefree picture of her childhood appeared in her mind, sometimes it was the phantom of A-Niang in her dreams, and sometimes it was the old face of Ayana who was now haggard and pitiful, but she hated it when she thought about it.

All kinds of thoughts, in turn in her heart intertwined looming, liver and sausage are also twisted together, lying on the bed tossing and turning, hearing the sound of the knocker in the workshop passing through the nearby streets and alleys, only to know that it is almost three watches, outside the window, the moon is in the middle of the sky.

Pei Xiaoyuan lives next door to her, and if she comes back, there should be a sound.

It's so late tonight, and he's still engrossed in business?

Thinking that he had no sleep all night last night, and he bothered to accompany himself during the day, he should be more tired than her, and Su Yu couldn't sleep anymore, so he listened to the movement outside for a while, and suddenly remembered that he came back tonight, and he never saw Qingtou show his face, which was really abnormal.

Could it be that he returned too late from the street and was locked out of the door?

Can't sleep. Su Yu was about to go out to see Qingtou, when he heard the sound of someone knocking lightly on the courtyard door outside.

Is Pei Xiaoyuan back, looking for her?

Wearing a coat of grass and grass, holding a candle in his hand, he walked through the courtyard, opened the door, and waited to see the person who came, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It's not Pei Xiaoyuan. It turned out to be Yang Zaien, the chamberlain in the Purple Cloud Palace. I saw him bow down to her and salute her, and said in a very respectful tone: "Disturbing Xiao Langjun's sleep in the middle of the night is really a crime that deserves death, but the slave came on order and wanted to invite Xiao Langjun to a place." ”

He is a palace eunuch, since he is called "on order", he is naturally on the order of the emperor.

"Is it entering the palace? What's the matter? She asked.

"Xiao Langjun will know when he comes with the slave maid. The carriage was already waiting. Yang Zaien Ying felt a little reluctant from her, and his tone was respectful, but also a little panicked.

Su Yu had to pack up and get into a carriage parked outside the gate of Pei's house.

After activation, I soon came to the front of the door, which was already open and waiting. Then the carriage went out of the square and into the street, and under the escort of two teams of cavalry guards, it walked on the empty avenue under the moonlight, and headed north.

Su Yu thought she was going to be taken to the palace, but after walking for a while, she came to the north of the city, and she found that the front of the car was turning and driving west.

She pushed open the window and looked out for a moment, and suddenly, as if she had realized something, her heart beat faster.

It was exactly what she thought. The wheel took her through the gate where the old pomegranate tree was planted, and continued to walk for a while, slowly stopping in front of the gate of the hairpin star view.

Yang Zaien got off the horse quickly, stood in front of the car door to greet Su Yu, waited for her to get out of the car, bowed down, led to the direction of the gate, and said softly: "Please Xiao Langjun enter." ”

The door of the hairpin star view was pushed open by two palace guards left and right. Su Yu walked in silently, and the door closed silently behind her.

Tonight, the women's crown should have been emptied.

She entered through the front door, and except for the slight sound of her and the palace eunuch who followed her on the ground, there was silence all the way, and there was not half a figure in sight. She walked through the front hall, into the back hall, through a long corridor, and finally, to the walled door.

Last time, she had been blocked from this wall. However, tonight, the doorway on the wall was wide open, and she saw two rows of lanterns burning on both sides of the corridor behind the door, all the way, the night wind blew, and the lanterns shook gently, looking from afar, like red clouds floating in the courtyard.
