If I insist on saving him, if I insist on letting "those people" save him, it means that everything they have worked hard to create and the cause they have fought for will be destroyed to some extent.

but--

I can't watch him die.

I thought about it and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I will keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood, but there is always someone who can plant trees and protect the forest on the green mountains, right?"

“…”

This time, he didn't say anything, just looked at me silently.

Although his eyes were calm, there was a trace of invisible sin in the calm.

I have never been unfamiliar with such a gaze, and I have seen it countless times in his eyes. At this time, seeing his gaze made me feel more and more uneasy, but I still didn't say anything, just the hand hidden behind me tightened the jade tablet in my palm, and held my silence to look at him.

After a while, he suddenly laughed.

And my heart tightened even more.

Because his smile was not good at all, but instead showed a kind of viciousness that seemed to be found in a wild animal, almost bloodthirsty. He said word by word: "Sometimes, I really want to kill him!"

“…!”

My heart suddenly jumped.

However, he had turned around and stopped looking at me.

The room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard. I also heard my heartbeat suddenly worsening just now, and my chest was hurting. But at this moment, I didn't dare to say anything. I just looked at his back. After a long time, I said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I've said goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and lifted the bead curtain and walked out.

But just as I walked out of the inner room and had not taken two steps, his voice came back to the sound of bead curtains behind me: "Qingying."

“…”

My steps stagnated.

His voice was slightly hoarse, and the sharp and vicious aura suddenly faded away, leaving only a little fatigue, and said, "Miaoyan, how is she?"

My heart, which had been suffering from a hidden pain, seemed to have been slaughtered again at this moment, and I was so painful that I trembled.

Then, he shook his head gently.

He stepped forward as if he was a little anxious: "That old man has seen it, but it has not improved?"

I turned around and looked at him on the other side of the pearl curtain. His tired face was filled with concern and anxiety. I said softly: "Old Yao has seen it and it is confirmed that it is indeed absent-minded, but his statement is similar to Miss Xue. The chance of this disease being cured by medicine stone is very small. Many times, it depends on the opportunity."

But when will the opportunity come?

If there is no such opportunity in this life, then will Miaoyan have to spend his whole life like this?

Thinking of this, my eyes turned red, and I could hardly help crying. I hurriedly lowered my head and avoided his gaze on the other side of the pearl curtain. At this moment, his breathing also became heavy, as if he wanted to walk through this curtain and come over to comfort me, but when he looked at my strong suppression, he seemed to be afraid to scare me away. He wanted to speak but stopped several times, and finally he just said softly: "Don't be anxious, I am rich all over the world, and I don't believe that I can't cure my daughter!"

When he spoke at the end, he gritted his teeth slightly.

Looking at him like this, I can almost feel the sorrow he feels, especially when he is different from me. At least I have been with Miaoyan for so many years. At least we have been together after we parted, and we have been together again after we parted. There was still a peaceful and pleasant time in Jixiang Village that year. However, he and Miaoyan, his daughter who had been separated for many years, reunited. In just three days, Miaoyan became what she is now.

No matter his identity or status, as a father, this has been a big blow.

Looking at his tired face and tired eyes, I thought about it and said softly: "Yao Lao thought of two ways. One is to find a prescription from ancient books, which may relieve her current condition."

When Pei Yuanhao heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What ancient book?"

"The Collection of Magical Effects."

"The Collection of Magical Effects?" He was stunned when he heard it, as if he had remembered something, and subconsciously said: "This book--"

I said sadly: "I copied it once when Fu Badai brought it into the palace."

His eyes suddenly became dark: "In Jixian Palace?"

"Yes, in Jixian Palace."

“…”

He didn't say anything, but he clearly heard his gritting teeth.

I also understand what he thought of. When Liu Qinghan burned Jixian Palace and rescued me from the palace, it was still the Nine Five Supreme Lord's Reverse Scale. He didn't let others mention it. Perhaps he was more unwilling to let himself fall into that kind of anger and even anger. But at this moment, as soon as he faced me, the scars left by the fire became particularly clear, and even the old pain began to resurrect.

So I hurriedly continued: "There is another method, which is to practice the method of summoning souls."

"The method of summoning souls?" He frowned deeply when he heard this: "Who can do this method?"

"Yao Lao said that people who are proficient in the Book of Changes cannot practice this method."

“…proficient in the Book of Changes?”

"Yes, however, although the Central Plains are full of talents and many scholars from the north and south, they are probably not many who are proficient in the Book of Changes. Even Fu Badai, although he also reads the Book of Changes, his Majesty the Emperor of the Human Emperor, is probably also aware that he is a person who respects Taoism and is completely uncontaminated by this kind of soul-suming technique."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, but showed a contemplative look and nodded gently.

I said softly again: "If His Majesty the Emperor has-"

But before I finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao suddenly said, "I have two people who are proficient in the Book of Changes."

"ah?"

I was stunned and looked up at him.

What did he say? There are two people who are proficient in the Book of Changes around him?

I hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"There is one you've seen, too."

"..." I was stunned for a moment, and a handsome face, young face, had long pale hair as pale as snow. Such a strange combination made me tremble suddenly: "Your Majesty the Emperor said - "Your Majesty, "

Pei Yuanhao nodded: "No, it's him."

My heart suddenly jumped violently.

No desire to speak!

No desire to speak!

All kinds of things have been intertwined these days, which almost made me exhausted. I forgot about the existence of this person, but at this moment Pei Yuanhao mentioned it, I remembered it, especially when he first appeared in the war in the Juma Valley, he mentioned that he had been practicing the art of rescuing stars and resusciting life in the inner palace.

If you can practice the art of chasing stars and resusciting life, then this person is very proficient in magic.

If he is still proficient in the Book of Changes according to Pei Yuanhao-

A burst of ecstasy surged in my heart, and I couldn't help but look up at Pei Yuanhao, just about to say something, but when I paired Pei Yuanhao's dark and deep eyes, a hint of uninterrupted ecstasy suddenly rose in my heart.

He is proficient in the Book of Changes and is good at magic.

However, he has been practicing the method of extending his life to the Supreme Emperor in the inner palace. Over the years, except for the time in the Juma River Valley, he has hardly left the palace at other times, and he has even made a fuss about leaving the imperial city to move south. After all, he is guarding the Supreme Emperor.

My breathing was suffocated and I looked at Pei Yuanhao with panic, and he also looked at me.

"Maybe, he can give it a try."

“…”

"but--"

"But Miaoyan, I'm going to enter the palace, right?"

"right."

He looked into my eyes and said calmly: "She is going to enter the palace."

“…”

"Qingying," Perhaps the anxiety and panic in my eyes were too clear. He had almost seen through my distrust at first sight. After calling my name, he was silent for a moment before saying, "No matter what, this is a chance for Miaoyan."

Yes, this is a chance for Miaoyan.

Or, it was her only chance.

This possibility pressed on my heart, making my breathing more and more difficult. I slowly raised my head and looked at him: "I--"

"Qingying," he called my name again, his brows frowned slightly, and said, "I, although there are many children, there is only one Miaoyan."

“…”

He looked at me and repeated: "Miaoyan, there is only one!"

“…”

I bit my lower lip and said, "I still need to go back and discuss this with someone."

Pei Yuanhao's face turned slightly dark.

Although I didn't make it clear, he immediately understood who I was going to discuss with.

Looking at the faint light of anger in his dim eyes, I bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, please let me say goodbye."

After saying that, I turned around and walked out of the study.

As soon as I walked out of this dark and somewhat depressed room, I immediately felt like I was being released from a net, and I took a deep breath, but at the same time, some things were also pressing on my heart.

If you want to save Liu Qinghan, then there are still some things to do.

Pei Yuanhao's judgment of the killing was three days after the imperial list was issued. In other words, from now on, plus the day of tomorrow, I have too many things to do.

Also, it is Miaoyan’s disease.

I can't remember the "Collection of Magical Effects", and the possibility of finding such a lonely medical book from the people is very slim. It may be impossible to cure Miaoyan's disease from this aspect. So, as Pei Yuanhao said, this is Miaoyan's opportunity, or even the only opportunity.

But, she must be allowed to enter the palace.

I will not forget what kind of world it is in the Nine-Level Third Hall, nor will I forget what I have experienced there. Although there are Chang Qing, Shui Xiu and Madam Wu, there are also Nangong Lizhu, and the concubines in the harem who are eyeing me. After my identity is revealed, the court officials who are hostile to the Xichuan and the Yan family will become enemies that I cannot avoid.

And if Miaoyan enters the palace, what she has to face is the same, and even more!

Besides, she has no ability to protect herself at all.

Even if all this can be ignored, even if Pei Yuanhao doesn't let her contact with those people at all, what if she is cured? After all, she is the princess of the royal family and Pei Yuanhao's daughter. Will Pei Yuanhao still let her leave the imperial city?

For a moment, I felt my thoughts were in chaos, and there seemed to be countless voices in my ears arguing and clamoring, telling me to do this and do that, mixing them together, almost making my mind explode.

I reached out and stroked the painful forehead and couldn't help but moan.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi's voice sounded next to him: "Sir, what's wrong with you, sir?"

“…”

I raised my head and found that I was still standing on the stairs outside the study room, but I had a severe headache. Xiao Fuzi was standing beside me, looking at my pale face, and said with concern: "What's wrong with my sir? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I immediately went to tell the emperor that he would send the imperial doctor to come and have a look!"

I hurriedly reached out to stop him: "No."

"But you-"

"I'm fine, I just stood there for a long time, and I'm a little dizzy when I came out."

I waved my hand lightly: "I'm fine, Xiao Fuzi, please send me out."

Xiao Fuzi looked at me worriedly, asked repeatedly, and confirmed that I had no problems. Then he comforted me and sent me out.

The two guards I brought were still waiting for me outside. At this time, it was already dark. They were a little worried after waiting for so long. When they saw me coming out, they were relieved. I said goodbye to Xiao Fuzi again and got on their carriage.

When I arrived at the pier and boarded the boat, it was already dark.

As the sun got off the mountain, the temperature became cooler. The steam in the middle of the river brought a little cooler. I sat at the bow of the boat and looked at the gurgling river water that was constantly aroused by the bow in front of me. Not only did I feel cool, but I felt like a small fire was burning in my heart, tormenting my five-in-one.

The two guards walked up and said carefully: "Madam, it's a cool night, please go back to the cabin."

"Yes, ma'am, don't catch a cold."

I pinched my palm, and there was sweat inside.

So he reluctantly turned around and smiled at them, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't say anything else. They could only sigh and retreat to the cabin.

I was full of thoughts, and there were too many things entangled me. At this time, I couldn't make a mistake. After thinking about some things clearly, I looked at the pier in Jinling that was slowly appearing in front of me, and couldn't help but sigh.

No matter what, there is one thing I have to go back and ask Pei Yuanxiu first, which is about Miaoyan's condition.

If Yao Lao had no choice, then maybe the lack of desire was really her only chance. I still want to ask him what he thought about this matter.

After we got ashore, we boarded the carriage that had been waiting for the dock.

Listening to the wheels moving forward quickly, hitting the bluestone slabs underground, making a sound, making even more rapid. I leaned in the carriage, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Carrier, where is the young master?"

He replied, "Young Master is in the mansion now."

"In the inner courtyard? Or in the study?"

"It seems to be on the side of the eldest lady and the others."

I frowned slightly.

Pei Yuanxiu is with Han Ruoshi and the others?

I was silent for a while and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the mansion?"

The coachman smiled and said, "Madam, this is the young one, I don't know."

“…”

I listened and said nothing, and then became quiet.

After a long time, the carriage finally stopped. When I walked off the carriage station, it was completely dark around me, but there was a faint light over the Jinling Mansion.

Even, I heard the noise coming from the depths of the mansion.

I went up and patted the closed door.

The bronze door knocker was slapped and made an almost harsh sound. It seemed a little abrupt on this quiet night, and I was shocked by the sound of it.
