"His Majesty the Emperor."

I remained silent, but as he spoke the last sentence, he interrupted him.

He was also stunned, raised his head to look at me, and I said to him calmly: "Is His Majesty's harem peaceful or chaotic? These have nothing to do with the people."

“…”

"The young girl is just temporarily living in Jingren's palace to take care of Miaoyan, not the person in this harem."

“…”

"The concubine is good to Miaoyan because she practices well-" I smiled faintly: "But, the folk girl is from a small family and is indeed a bit petty. Besides, Miaoyan's old troubles have not been cured. If something really happens, the folk girl will never forgive herself in this life, let alone the people who hurt Miaoyan."

Speaking of this, I looked up at him and could feel a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, but I also suppressed it and did not ejaculate. I said lightly: "My ignorant and straightforward words, please forgive me for your sins."

“…”

He looked at me for a long time, and several times, the sparks in his eyes seemed to pop out, but in the end, the faint anger was swallowed by him.

After a while, he said long, "Well."

After saying that, he gently stretched out his hand and pulled the beautiful words beside me in front of him.

For some reason, Miaoyan's condition seemed to have signs of improvement before. She would cry, laugh, make people, and even feel about a plum blossom. On the contrary, her condition has stagnated during these days. Although the medicine sent by the imperial physician is still drinking as usual every day, there is no progress.

At this time, she walked to him with Pei Yuanhao.

Pei Yuanhao looked at her, a faint worry appeared in his eyes, and he said softly: "My wonderful words, when will I jump around again?"

I stood beside me and packed up the gift boxes sent by the ladies. When I heard this, I glanced at him and didn't say anything.

Halfway through packing up, Pei Yuanhao stood up and held Miaoyan's hand: "Let's go."

I was stunned: "Where to go?"

"Since you have no plans today, I will take you out for a walk."

Perhaps my words were really useful. Although he took Miaoyan and I out, there was no grand arrangement. Only a big show was prepared from Qingyin Pavilion, which was a lively "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". However, there was no such excitement into Miaoyan's world. Seeing you and me on the stage, the child was still as calm as ever.

However, halfway through the play, Xiao Fuzi arrived again.

He attached himself to Pei Yuanhao's ear and said softly: "Emperor, Grand Master Chang and Lord Nangong are waiting in the imperial study."

Pei Yuanhao frowned.

I was beside me, and I could hear these two sentences clearly in the noise of gongs and drums. Although there was no expression on my face, my heart immediately skipped a beat.

Taishi Chang and Nangong Jinhong?

The two of them were waiting for Pei Yuanhao in the imperial study together?

What's going on?

Although I know that old ministers like Taishi Chang and Nangong Jinhong have been ups and downs in the court for decades, and people like them cannot easily be seen by others, the hostility between the two sides is still clear.

Why are they together now?

Pei Yuanhao's face also became bad, and his eyes were filled with flowers on the stage, but the gloomy eyes could not be covered. However, he was not angry, but was silent for a moment and said, "Tell them that today is Princess Miaoyan's birthday. I am accompanying the princess and I have no time to talk to them about those things."

"This--" Xiao Fuzi seemed a little embarrassed. Seeing Pei Yuanhao's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything else. He could only take a step back and said respectfully: "Abide by the order."

After saying that, he stepped down.

I sat on the side without moving. I was still singing a big show on the stage, but Pei Yuanhao sat there with a little gloomy. Although he was still looking at the stage, his eyes seemed to have not seen anything. After a while, after a play was finished, he still sat there quietly, motionless.

Eunuch Yu, who was serving next to him, stepped forward, as if he wanted to ask for instructions on the next step or ask Pei Yuanhao to make a play, but when he saw his gloomy face, he didn't dare to come over. He was at the door, looking a little hesitant.

I thought about it, waved my hand gently at him, and then took the show list in his hand.

Eunuch Yu looked at me, then looked at Pei Yuanhao again, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He nodded at me and then retreated silently.

I turned around, walked slowly over, and put the show list on the small table at his hand.

He then seemed to have come to his senses, raised his head and looked at me, and I said softly: "If the emperor has government affairs, it is better to deal with it. Don't delay the emperor's major affairs for the sake of wonderful words."

He couldn't help but sneer, and said, "It's not my big business, it's their big business."

I lowered my head and said softly, "I don't know, what's the big deal?"

“…”

He froze for a moment, then looked up at me.

I don't know how much he is guarding against me now. However, what Eunuch Yu told me that day, I probably understood that Taishi Chang was going to attack Liu Qinghan now, Pei Yuanhao - he was at least sober, but if there was a Minister of War and Nangong Jinhong, who was Nangong Lizhu's father, then things would not be so easy to deal with.

So, I still took the courage and even asked openly.

He suddenly smiled: "What do you already know?"

I thought about it and said, "If His Majesty the Emperor really has any trouble, there is no need to bear it alone."

“…”

This sentence made him stunned for a moment, and suddenly, the ice in his eyes seemed to melt.

He said softly: "Light..."

"Although the civilian girl - knows that she should not discuss politics randomly, the civilian girl can help His Majesty think of a solution for this matter."

“…”

"Of course, this is the wishful thinking of a folk woman. If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to-"

Before I could finish my words, he suddenly reached out and held my hand.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I was so scared that I almost jumped up and hurriedly wanted to pull my hand back, but he grabbed it with force and looked up at me: "Light..."

"you--"

At this time, I knew it was useless to say "let me go" and "what to do" and I just struggled hard, but no matter how hard I tried, his hand held my hand tightly like a pliers and refused to let go. After struggling for a long time, I couldn't break free. Instead, there was a deep red mark on the back of my hand.

He said, "If you don't move, I won't move either."

“…”

I was shocked.

Although he sat there calmly, as if nothing had happened, the determination and persistence in the words were like a knife, deeply engraved in his eyes.

I bit my lower lip, and finally slowly relaxed the strength of my hands and didn't struggle anymore.

But, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

As I slowed down like this, he slowly relaxed the hand that was holding my tightly, but he didn't let me go immediately. He looked down at the back of my red hands. He sighed lightly, then raised his head to look at me, and said word by word: "Do you know, if you don't leave, I won't catch you."

“…”

My face turned a little pale, but I still forced myself to sit back slowly.

A long and uncontrollable joy appeared in his eyes.

Then, his hand that almost crushed my hand slowly let go, but it was caught in my hand and patted it gently: "Over the years, you are the only one I can speak."

I subconsciously said: "Empress——"

As soon as I said this, I stopped myself and saw the coldness suddenly rising in Pei Yuanhao's eyes.

At this moment, I wanted to bite off my tongue and swallow the words just now. However, in my mind, Chang Qing was the one who has been by his side for many years and can really be harmonious with him, but I didn't expect-

My face darkened slightly, but I quickly changed the subject and said, "What does Master Chang want to do?"

Pei Yuanhao's face slowly sank. After a while, he said, "It's no secret that Liu Qinghan went to Xichuan."

“…”

He didn't seem to want to mention this person in front of me, but at this time, he was also unavoidable.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "From ancient times to the present, Shu has been a place for exiles. He went there - it was a must, and it was also a cause for a long time."

He seemed to sneer: "This is also their remark."

I bit my lower lip and asked clearly, "Do you Master Taishu and the others are planning to attack Xichuan?"

Pei Yuanhao said: "What he wants to move is Liu Qinghan."

"...The folk girl knows." My brows also frowned: "But the folk girl had already distinguished this at the New Year banquet that day."

"You have indeed distinguished it. Liu Qinghan and your Yan family have nothing to do with you now."

"Why-"

He turned his head toward me and suddenly said, "Do you know, in the past few years, where has the biggest resistance I have suffered from implementing the new policy?"

The resistance of the new policy?

What Wei Ningyuan said to me in the small house in Jixiang Village immediately flashed in my mind, and he immediately said, "It's like Han Ruoshi, Han Zitong and others, princes and nobles from all over the country, and powerful gentry."

He looked at me and curled his lips slightly, "You can see clearly."

"This is what His Majesty the Emperor just said-"

He interrupted me and said in a deep voice: "It's just those people, the court still cannot move."

I was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that the court could not move those people, but the court could move Liu Qinghan. Moreover, Liu Qinghan's current power in Xichuan is almost the next "King of Jiangxia". Moreover, he will only be more powerful than Han Ruoshi, Han Zitong and others, and will not be controlled by the court.

It seems that Master Chang was determined to touch Liu Qinghan.

Therefore, his identity as a traitor and his power in Xichuan became an excuse for the imperial court to send troops.

But - why did Nangong Jinhong participate in this matter?
