Eunuch Yu helped me walk forward step by step. Those people had originally surrounded the door of the Imperial Study Room, but at this time they unconsciously retreated to both sides and gave way to me.

I walked over slowly.

The ministers all calmed down and looked at me with complicated eyes. I also knew that everyone had their own plans in their hearts at this moment. But when they saw me, they were a little difficult to get into.

No matter how prejudiced they were towards me, they also understood the significance of Xichuan to the court at this moment.

I was sweating all over my head, and finally walked to the door. Eunuch Yu helped me and said carefully to it: "Your Majesty, Miss Yan is here."

It was quiet inside for a while before Pei Yuanhao's dull voice came: "Let her come in."

"yes."

Eunuch Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pushed open the door. The ministers behind him immediately looked in, but they could not see anything. The table was filled with folds, but the table was empty, and only a ray of sunlight shone in from outside the door, and a lot of dust could be seen flying.

Eunuch Yu sent me in.

The door was closed behind me, but I didn't walk in immediately. I was really out of strength, so I could only stand with my back against the door for a while, and then I heard the bead curtain on the door leading to the inner room making a drizzle. I looked up and gently lifted the curtain with one hand, and then Pei Yuanhao walked out of it.

His face was also a little pale.

I looked up and saw him and said softly: "Your Majesty."

He looked at me for a while before coming over: "Why are you here?"

"I--"

"Your health is not well yet, this won't work."

"His Majesty--"

"You go back and rest."

"But--"

"You go back."

“…”

I didn't know what I could say when I came in, but every time I spoke, he interrupted me. In the end, I stopped talking and just looked at him like this.

Both of them fell silent.

It was very quiet at this moment, as if it was because of my arrival that Eunuch Yu finally sent away the ministers outside, but I looked at the ray of sunlight leaking into the crack of the door that was not closed on my back, and the dust flying in the light, I felt a sense of noisy.

What we have to face is not a peaceful and prosperous era.

I don’t know how long I was silent, but it was almost time when I couldn’t even stay silent anymore. I raised my head and just as I was about to say something to him, I heard him speak and said in silence: “You shouldn’t have come over, you are in poor health and you are still so tired.”

“…”

I looked at his bloodshot eyes and didn't say anything.

"What if I fall ill again?"

“…”

"Come here and let me hug you."

As he said that, before I could even react, he had already stepped forward and reached out to carry me into his arms.

My breathing suddenly suffocated, and my stiff body was hugged tightly by him, pressing against his chest, and I could even hear his heartbeat, and I could hear his breathing. I had never been as tired or at a loss as I was now.

Nianshen is his son!

It was the person he had worked hard to cultivate and wanted to entrust his country to him. No matter how dissatisfied with his son or how strict he was on the surface, it was his blood and the person closest to him in this world.

Now, life and death are uncertain.

As a king, he must be strong; as a man, he must be strong; but as a father, no matter how strong he is, he will be defeated one day.

His arms were as strong as any previous time, and his chest was as warm and solid as every previous time, but when I was held tightly in his arms, I felt the illusion of weakness, as if the man in front of me was almost about to collapse, and I was his only support.

However, at this moment, I also reached the limit.

I didn't have the strength to move, nor did I refuse, but just let him hold me tightly with all his strength, and even the bones on my body hurt slightly, and I didn't moan. I said softly: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's auspicious person and heavenly appearance, there will be no trouble."

“…”

"Your Majesty, be sure to be at ease!"

“…”

"At this time, everyone is watching Your Majesty, and Your Majesty cannot get rid of his own."

I also want to tell him what Chang Qing said just now - this time something happened to the prince was like a level, and this level was set up by someone for them, so meticulously before and after, and the final result might be the chaos in the world. He must stabilize the overall situation at this time...

But I didn't have time to say this.

His breathing sounded heavy on his head, but his voice sounded from his tight chest—

"Light!"

“…”

"I know what to do, but I-I need you by my side."

“…”

"I need you."

I didn't say anything, but I felt his arms tighter and tighter, making it difficult for me to breathe, but the force his hands were so strong that his voice was so gentle that even his breath became gentle, blowing my messy forehead.

"Tell me, will you be by my side?"

“…”

I didn't answer him immediately, and was silent for a while before whispering: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

“…”

"The young woman will spend this time with His Majesty."

“…”

This answer gave him a moment of silence. I felt his palm gently stroke my back and pressed me hard on him.

|

I did not break my promise.

After saying that, I did not leave him again.

The door of the imperial study room was opened and closed several times. Eunuch Yu brought people to bring food in and changed the brazier. Before, one or two "eyes" ministers came to ask for an audience with the emperor, but they were all turned away by Eunuch Yu on the grounds that His Majesty the Emperor was discussing a confidential matter with Miss Yan. After that, no one came to disturb him again.

However, this is only superficial, temporary. Although the ministers will not disturb Pei Yuanhao, no one knows what the news is like and what the people's hearts are like below.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! I know that Pei Yuanhao is still very calm, but as a father, he also has weak power, but then, he returned to his former calmness as quickly as possible. He issued several decrees one after another, one of which was to let several commanders of the Imperial Guard leave the city overnight and wait at the official roads and various inns.

Henan is not close to the capital, nor is it far away. It is not difficult to find out a piece of information.

The difficulty is how to deal with the news that comes.

I was lying on the bed in the inner room with him in his arms. He watched him write another decree and handed it to Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu held it in both hands and hurriedly retreated. When the door outside closed, he finally slowly put down the pen in his hand.

But that breath was always tense.

At this time, he turned his head and looked at me, and said softly: "If you are tired, just sleep for a while. If there is news, I will call you."

I shook my head gently.

He didn't force himself, but just looked at me quietly for a while, reached out and stroked my face.

He could feel the stiffness that I could not suppress. He was not angry or even angry. He just touched it, touched it again, and then retreated.

My face seemed to be burned by fire, and I coughed lightly and asked, "His Majesty has an order to summon His Royal Highness to the capital?"

He nodded.

"A few days ago, the queen asked me and I issued an order," his eyes seemed a little solemn: "In fact, this time he went to Henan, I originally sent many people to follow him, but later summoned him back to Beijing, and sent people from the Imperial Guards, half of whom were to pass the order and half to protect him back to Beijing."

"Why did Your Highness set off for so long?"

"He has been following Wu Yanqiu to supervise the construction of the river embankment, insisting that he must wait until the river embankment is completed and inspected before he comes back. For this matter, this is the first time he disobeys my will!"

Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth slightly.

My nose felt sore, but I still reluctantly said: "The Yellow River floods have been the top priority for the court after the beginning of spring. Once the river embankment is in effect, it can save millions of disaster relief expenses in the court every year, and it can also save the people from suffering. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this to share His Majesty's worries and problems."

He pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

I said softly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, and God will never treat him indifferently."

“…”

He was silent for a long time and said, "Hope as you said."

Even though he said so, neither I nor him were relaxed.

The sky outside became darker little by little. Eunuch Yu sent dinner in, but neither of them had any appetite. I originally wanted to refuse like him, but he insisted that Eunuch Yu serve me half a bowl of porridge, but he himself refused to eat anything.

Eunuch Yu didn't dare to persuade him, and I didn't persuade him either. He just slowly pushed the half bowl of porridge in his hand into his front face after taking one or two bites.

He glanced at me.

I lowered my head and didn't say anything, but I felt my scalp numb. After a while, I heard him breathing a long sigh of relief, and then reached out to pick up the bowl.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of a bowl and spoon being knocked down.

After a while, half a bowl of porridge was finished.

When Eunuch Yu came in to pack the dishes, he looked at me gratefully. I didn't say anything, but just looked outside and it was completely dark.

Still no news came back.

This time, even though I came to accompany him and helped him to keep his feet on the throne, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

From the capital to Henan, you can arrive in just one day. Moreover, it is related to the life and death of the prince. It is impossible for those people to know that it is important. Even if the people sent by Pei Yuanhao did not arrive, the people who just accompany the prince in Henan should immediately pass the news back after the incident.

But now, a day has passed, but there is still no movement at all.
