Who is it?

I intuitively wanted to walk to the window, but as soon as I walked over, Pei Yuanhao suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist. I was shocked and hurriedly struggled to shake him away, but he grabbed him even tighter.

I immediately blushed and whispered: "Let me go!"

His eyes flashed, but there was still not much expression on his face. He just grabbed me and even dragged me to his side. I couldn't stand firmly and staggered into his arms. I became even more at ease. I struggled hard with both hands, and felt his other hand also grabbed my arm and locked me up.

Feeling my whole body trembling, he held his face in my ear and said, "You won't really think that if I want to catch you, I will let you go with just one word."

“…!”

My heart trembled violently.

His words reminded me that indeed, he is an emperor who is rich and possesses the world. He has the most supreme power in the world. In fact, no matter how many ways I want to go back to the capital and appear under his nose, I don’t have much possibility to protect myself.

But this sentence also tells me that he has not really wanted to "catch" me yet.

Thinking of this, I slowly stopped struggling, and the force in his hand slowly relaxed. However, he never really let go of me, but looked down at me.

At such a close distance, I could almost see every ray of light flashing through his eyes.

Some are familiar, some are not understood at all.

At this moment, I heard people outside talking.

Because of the wall, perhaps because the people outside were very careful, the voice was extremely low when they opened their mouths, and I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, so I could only clearly hear the voice of a woman.

Moreover, it is somewhat familiar.

I couldn't help but frown.

That's-

Just when I was a little distracted, Pei Yuanhao lowered his head again and suddenly said, "If I had asked you to go back four years ago now, would you?"

I suddenly looked at him with wide eyes in horror.

What did he say?!

He was still looking at me, his eyes flashing slightly.

"I want you to come."

“…”

"Do you do?"

“…”

A moment of fear and despair passed, but I suddenly woke up in his eyes. I felt his breath blowing through my ears, making me shivering a little, but I also understood.

He is making me choose.

To this day, I have not had any bargaining chips to negotiate with him. He no longer pulled me back from the palace gate to his side like in the past, so unscrupulous. But even so, facing his eyes, feeling his breath covering me around me still makes me feel powerless.

I bit my lower lip hard and said slowly: "Your Majesty the Emperor wants me to go back four years ago?"

He looked at me without saying anything, but his eyes had already explained it all.

I suddenly laughed.

Because I didn't want people outside to discover that his voice and I were extremely low, almost as thin as a mosquito. My smile didn't even revive, only a little curve that caught the corner of my mouth, but at such a close distance, it was reflected in his eyes without any hiding.

I said slowly, "Unless, I can forget everything."

“…”

Just as he was about to say something, I continued, "Including, Emperor, you."

“…”

"But maybe at that time, I won't go back."

“…”

I could feel his suffocation at this moment, as if even the light in my eyes dimmed in this moment. I thought he, like me, remembered the last time when Xue Muhua put marrow in medicine, and I forgot all the past. Even at that time, I decided that he was my husband because of some misunderstandings, but I was still strangers to him in the end.

At this time, I heard the sound of his teeth grinding hard, as if pressing the anger in his heart, but I couldn't control my own strength. My wrist was pinched tighter and tighter in his palm, almost breaking. I just gritted my teeth and supported him, and then I heard him say in a deep voice: "Do you know, I have thousands of ways to let you-"

I stared at him hard.

"you--"

Speaking of this, he stopped himself.

I know he is not a person who is used to making ruthless words. People like him have always done more than they say, and they do more ruthlessly than they say. But at this time, he didn't say anything more after he said this. I heard him breathing a few breaths, as if he was trying his best to suppress the mania in his heart. Finally, he slowly let go of my hand.

I immediately slid back.

This step was almost on the door, but because of this distance, I clearly heard a sentence from outside-

"Did you find what I asked you to find?"

This sound is-

Yang Jinqiao!?

I suddenly felt a buzzing sound in my mind. Before I could react, I heard another sound of footsteps outside, a little messy and hurried. Yang Jinqiao, who was standing outside the door and the person who met her, obviously felt something, and immediately wanted to walk away, but I heard their footsteps just as they rang, and then mixed in by the sound of footsteps coming from almost all directions around me.

Why did so many people suddenly come?

I turned around and subconsciously wanted to look out. The gap in the door was very narrow, but I could still see Yang Jinqiao, who was pale at first sight. She seemed to see someone, and she looked very panicked. She took two steps back one after another. I could only see the person beside her, and I seemed to reach out to help her, but she gently pushed it away.

In an instant, Yang Jinqiao's expression had returned to calm.

Her face had a trace of blue-gray like accepting her fate, and her eyes were fixedly looking ahead.

At this moment, a pure voice slowly rang-

"Who is it that I am here to give me a private lesson?"

As soon as the sound rang, I shuddered and my forehead hit the door frame.

Fortunately, everyone outside was nervously facing the place where the sound came, and no one noticed me.

Because, what they are looking at is the queen!

I was very familiar with the sound just now. Even if I were thousands of miles apart, I wouldn't hear it wrong. It was Chang Qing's voice!

How could she appear here?

I was a little confused for a moment. I subconsciously looked back at Pei Yuanhao, but saw him slowly sitting back to the table, calmly putting his hand on the edge of the table, as if quietly waiting for the development of things outside.

What's going on?

A little eunuch outside said, "When the Queen said, it was the Imperial Guard, and a woman--"

Having said that, I paused. Obviously, not everyone knew Yang Jinqiao. After Pei Yuanhao forced the palace to seize the throne, Yang Jinqiao "died" on the Yang Palace. After he ascended the throne, almost all the people in the palace changed, so naturally fewer people recognized her.

But - the Imperial Guard?

I felt a little uneasy in my heart and tried my best to look out, but the narrow gap was only enough for me to see Yang Jinqiao's face being paler at the moment. The person beside her, as if she knew that she could not avoid it, slowly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The Imperial Commander Sun Jingfei, pay homage to the Queen."

…!

I almost jumped up in shock.

Sun Jingfei?!

He, how did he-

I don’t know if it was because I was too shocked, as if I had been struck by lightning. At this time, only a buzzing sound was left in my mind. I could hardly hear what the people outside said, and only the name of that person was echoing back and forth.

Sun Jingfei!

He and Yang Jinqiao—

After a while, I finally regained my hearing, but I heard Chang Qing's voice faintly, but with great majesty, slowly said: "Sun Jingfei, you are the commander of the imperial guards and the emperor's most trustworthy person. But now, you are actually giving private lessons with a woman in this Taimiao. Do you know your guilt?"

There were a few muffled bangs outside.

I immediately knew that it was Sun Jingfei kneeling on the ground and kowtowed. After a while, his low voice came from outside: "I will be guilty of the crime."

"Just know the guilt."

As Chang Qing spoke, she slowly walked towards her. Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, she could barely see the messy figures outside through the window paper. It seemed that there were still many people around her. I even heard a few familiar voices whispering something. It seemed that some of the concubines in Pei Yuanhao's harem back then, but they couldn't tell who was who for a while.

But at this time, these are no longer important.

Everyone's eyes fell on Sun Jingfei, who was kneeling and Yang Jinqiao who was standing there.

At this time, Chang Qing finally walked in front of them. I saw the gorgeous back. Although I was thin, my back was stopped straight, as if I was carrying a heavy burden and could not crush her. Her skirt fell on Sun Jingfei's hand, lowered her head and said slowly: "Just know the guilt. I ask you, what are you doing to receive privately?"

It became quiet outside for a moment.

I only saw Sun Jingfei hesitating for a moment and finally slowly presented the things in his hand.

Chang Qing asked the palace maids around her to take it over. She only took a look and said lightly: "Sun Jingfei, as the commander of the imperial guards, do you know what the crime is to steal objects from the palace?"

Sun Jingfei slowly leaned over and bowed, never daring to raise his head again: "I will be punished for death."

“…”

Looking at this scene, I was suffocating even my breathing at this moment.

Although I didn't see what Sun Jingfei had to give to Chang Qing, at this moment, even if I guessed, I guessed it.

It was when Chang Qing handed it over to Yang Yunhui before going to war in Dongzhou, and Yang Yunhui handed it over to me before he died, asking me to hand it over to Yang Jinqiao.

I didn't expect that after so many years and so many people and things, that thing was finally handed over by Sun Jingfei's hands to Yang Jinqiao's hands.

but--

At this time, Chang Qing slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Yang Jinqiao.
