As soon as we looked up, we had arrived at the back hall.

This hall is not the most majestic in the Taimiao. On the contrary, this is a place where the emperor comes to wash and rest during the intervals of praying for blessings and sacrifices, so compared to the enjoyment hall and side hall in front, this hall gives people a much easier feeling.

But, at this moment, it is not.

The entrance of the hall in front of me was closed, and there were no guards around me, but there was an invisible pressure. Although I was just standing at the door, I felt like I was almost crushed.

I suddenly understood.

Xiao Fuzi was still standing in front of me, and there was not much expression on his face. He just extended his hand respectfully: "Madam, please."

I slowly walked up the steps and walked to the closed door.

Although I fully understood in my heart and knew that there was no way out at this time, I really wanted to let me step into this hall and meet that person, from the bottom of my heart, I still refused.

And just as I was standing at the door and was not moving for a long time, the door was opened from the inside.

Without surprise, I saw that tall, familiar figure appear in front of me. He was wearing a bright yellow robe and his hands were still holding the door frames on both sides, as if he was spreading his arms to hug something. The feeling made me take a step back involuntarily.

Pei Yuanhao.

Since I just walked to this place, I realized that it would not be Chang Qing or Miao Yan, but him who is waiting for me here.

As soon as he saw me take a step back, the originally cold face added a little chill, but he didn't say anything, and just slowly put down his hands behind his back and looked at me silently.

A gentle footsteps behind him left, and it was Xiao Fuzi who left.

Just now, I remembered that although Xiao Fuzi had been working in Jingren Palace before, he has now put on the official uniform of the sixth-rank deputy commander eunuch, and he is no longer under Guijingren Palace.

Xiao Fuzi is now the emperor.

This time I was asked to enter the Taimiao, but it was Pei Yuanhao's sign that he had brought me here. The palace maid who led us into the front hall was completely unfamiliar. I was very concerned about her at that time because if Chang Qing really sent someone to pick me up, I would be familiar with the guards and the others around her, but for some reason he would arrange a completely unfamiliar newcomer to come over and talk so little.

Now, of course I understand.

I raised my head, Pei Yuanhao was still standing at the door, his face still had a cold expression as the weather, and when he spoke, his voice was also as cold as ice: "Don't you come in?"

“…”

I was silent for a moment and walked in slowly.

Since it has arrived in front of him, it will be useless to do anything else. Moreover, my purpose is wonderful words after all.

When I walked into this hall, I felt that it was colder than outside. Because unlike other halls, there was no arrangement at all, and there was not even a heating stove. I couldn't help but shrank for a moment, and I was a little puzzled. Since he was here, there should be a eunuch who should make arrangements in advance, so why would he keep a cold place here?

I was still thinking about it, but I didn't realize that he had walked behind me.

"Why, cold?"

My breath also tightened, but it was still silent, and I shook my head.

However, his fingertips, which were frozen to the point of being white, could not deceive anyone. He looked down and saw it. My hands were squeezing, and my pale skin and snow-white clothes were almost integrated. There was no difference. He looked at my cheek again, and then said deeply: "No one knew that I would come here. Miaoyan was still in the hall, and the monk casts spells and prays for her. Everyone thought that I and the queen were there to accompany her."

He seemed to be explaining why it was so cold here and there was no arrangement at all, but my attention was put on my daughter after hearing Miaoyan's name. I suddenly looked up at him: "Miaoyan, how is she?"

"She's very good."

"Have her illness been better?"

"When the mage prays for blessings, I hope it will improve."

“…”

My originally surprised look suddenly faded.

Although Xue Muhua and Yao Lao had already explained to me clearly that Miaoyan's disease was not so easy to cure, I still hope that a miracle would happen for so long, and I also hope that Pei Yuanhao could have so many strange people around him to give Miaoyan some chance. So when I heard him say this, I still felt disappointed in my heart.

I lowered my head gently: "Is that true?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "You want to see her, right?"

I nodded quickly.

He looked at me motionlessly, his eyes flashing: "But don't want to see me?"

“…”

My breath suddenly tightened.

If I just regard him as Miaoyan's father, maybe I can still get along with him peacefully, but I was too concerned about Miaoyan just now, almost all of which made me forget who I was facing. Once I met those cold eyes, some memories would be resurrected in the depths of my memory.

I lowered my head and didn't speak, but there were some answers that were no longer necessary to say, slowly flowing out in such a dull air.

I don't want to disobey him, but today I am both too familiar with each other. I think annoying him and deceiving him may not have any different ends. Perhaps, I am already too familiar with the ends of simply annoying him, but I am not so afraid.

In such a tight atmosphere, I could feel his eyes looking at me. Even though the air around me was so cold, there was always flames in his eyes, almost burning my skin.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard him sigh.

Then he said, "But I want to see you."

“…”

"After so long, I have a lot to say to you."

I thought about it and said softly: "It will only take a few months for Yangzhou to be together. I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor has to give."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at me: "What I said is after leaving your capital."

“…”

"Do you know, how long has it been?"

“…”

My heart suddenly tightened.

If other people can't fully understand the meaning of this sentence, I already fully understand his meaning - he wants to remove me from the palace, to his current position, everything that has happened to me over the years, and everything I have experienced.

If I have just summarized it in a few years since I escaped from the palace and left the capital until now, then everything will not be that important.

I looked at him silently for a while, and then said softly: "Of course I know, it's been four years."

“…”

He was about to say something, but before he could speak, I immediately said, "When I left the capital, Miaoyan was only six years old; but now, she is almost ten years old."

His eyes froze.

I looked at him and said calmly: "In four years, I can finally make up for the regret of leaving her when she was so young and not fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother. So I remember every day of these four years clearly, and I will not forget every memory easily."

His expression became complicated.

Every word I said could be reflected on him, but the difference is that even in the past four years, he still has not fully fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Even if he had a short reunion in Yangzhou, he did not even dare to admit that he was his father in person.

He is not without regrets.

But when I said the last few words, his face slowly calmed down as I said.

He slowly repeated: "You won't forget every memory easily?"

“…”

I didn't say anything, but just looked at him, but I felt that the apse, which was already very cold, was as cold as an ice cellar. His body was constantly emitting coldness, and even his evil aura, which made people almost breathe.

After a while, he said coldly: "Do you want to tell me that you will not forget that person's memories?"

“…”

My heart stinged suddenly.

What he said was Pei Yuanxiu.

...

For some reason, I suddenly remembered this person and the memories about him, and I felt like I had a different life.

I didn't deliberately forget him. If I wanted to say hatred, I didn't hate him either. After all, from beginning to end, he took good care of me and did not let me suffer grievances. Although he didn't know what really made me wronged, when I suddenly mentioned him, I realized that I was so far away from him.

Almost returned to the origin of me and him - I was in the capital, and he was still in the distant Jiangnan.

What kind of person is he like, even when he is closest to him, I don’t know what kind of person he is, and now he has to think about it, it’s even more vague.

The only thing I remember is that every time he appeared in the inner hall in the palace, he looked quiet and uncontested.

I slowly lowered my eyelids.

Pei Yuanhao's face became more and more gloomy: "Sure enough, you haven't forgotten him yet."

“…”

I didn't say anything because I had nothing to say at this time, and just as his breath became heavier and almost overwhelmed everything around me, suddenly, from a distance, a sound of footsteps came.

Originally, I thought it was a patrol guard, but when I got closer, I realized that there were not many people in the footsteps, at most two or three. I walked to the back of the hall and stopped.

I looked at him and didn't even speak subconsciously.
