Then I felt like I came back to my senses and looked around. I was already in the bedroom. And looking at the sky outside, it was at least noon. It seemed that we were back in the palace again.
I bit my lower lip and then said, "I, I'm fine."
“…”
"If something happened, I would have hurt a long time ago, I was just a little tired."
“…”
"I want to take a break and don't want to be disturbed."
The doctor who was so scared by my scolding just now was like a person from the Imperial Hospital. I don’t know where they found this person. After such an accident, these people were afraid that they would not have time to hide, so they dared to come to court to perform their duties. But now they are arrested in the palace to see me. Naturally, they were very scared. When they heard my words, they hurriedly said, "Since Madam is fine, I should have a good rest. I looked at my wife's expression, and I was really tired, and I had to rest well."
Pei Yuanxiu sat next to me, looking at my pale face and bloodshot eyes. When he heard the doctor's words, he was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand.
The doctor was relieved and hurriedly retreated.
He turned to look at me again: "Are you really okay?"
I raised my hand and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. I didn't look at his eyes, but just lowered my head: "Look at me, it seems like something is wrong?"
He really looked at me silently for a while, and it didn't look like something was wrong. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since that's the case, then lie down and rest. Are you hungry? I'll ask them to send some food."
Although I just said that I wanted to rest and didn't want to be disturbed, I didn't have the leisure to lie down to rest at this time. I raised my head and looked at him and said, "Where is the Supreme Emperor?"
His eyes were covered with haze.
"How is he?"
Pei Yuanxiu slowly stood up and walked to the window, looked outside with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "You shouldn't ask him again."
“…”
"There is no such person in this palace, there is no one now, and there will be no one in the future."
“…!”
My heart suddenly sank, and then I remembered that when he was in the suburbs, when he asked someone to escort Pei Ji back to the capital, he had ordered that no one would be allowed to know his whereabouts, nor would anyone visit him. These two sentences were already very clear. He wanted to lock this person up, and lock him up without seeing the light of day, so that there would be no such person in this world again!
Thinking of this, my mood became heavier again.
Although I was lucky enough to save Pei Ji's life, I was extremely grateful when I thought of the old man who had been in a coma due to poisoning and had been lying in the deep palace like a living dead for so many years. Now, in order to help and protect his son, he was caught and locked up.
If Pei Yuanxiu's thoughts remain unchanged, would he have to do this for the rest of his life?
I looked up and was about to say something, but when I saw his back, my throat was a little dumb.
The sunlight outside the window shone in and shone on him, outlining a tall but somewhat lonely figure. All of this is very familiar to me, but now, the aura that emanates from him, as if he is not allowed to enter, is completely unfamiliar with me.
Since last night, Nangong Jinhong's death, he seems to have changed a little.
I can't tell what the specific change was. He did not express his grief for the death of his biological father, nor was he furious because he missed the opportunity to seize Pei Yuanhao. What he showed was just a normal person who looked the most ordinary when facing life and death and his own choices.
But it made me feel a little uneasy.
Now, my words were even under the pressure of the breath of his body, and I couldn't say anything at all.
I could only sit by the bed and look at him quietly. It took me a long time to turn slowly. In the sun, my eyes were so clear that it seemed as if a layer of ice was condensed, which made people see through it easily. But after seeing through it, I found that it was a deserted inside, with an extra sense of powerlessness.
He said, "It's time for you to rest."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
This time, I called him: "Pei Yuanxiu!"
He walked to the curtain in the middle of the room and heard me calling him, and stopped, while the curtain in front of him still rippled slightly, making a tiny and crisp sound.
He didn't look back, just stood there: "What else is there?"
I asked softly, "Where are you————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
He was silent for a moment and said, "Don't ask about him anymore."
“…”
"Now, you just need to maintain your body well."
“…”
"You are right, I know, as a father, I have not done evil to my soon-to-be-born child. Then this child is probably my redemption."
After saying that, he reached out and lifted the curtain and walked out.
I was stunned for a moment, looking at the other side of the swaying curtain, his figure quickly disappeared outside, leaving the silence of the room.
In the warm bedroom, an irresistible chill surged out of my body. I slowly lay down, and on the couch where my body temperature was still left, it was as cold as ice.

At this time, it was originally the season when the ice and snow melted and the breeze gradually slowed down, but the sky in the capital did not clear up in the next six or seven days.
Pei Yuanxiu was very careful. He stayed all the maids and eunuchs in the palace, who were still alive, and chose a few who looked older and had quick hands and feet to serve me. Because the other palaces were damaged very much by Xie Houqi and others, and in some places, it took several days, before the bodies were cleaned, and the blood on the ground had not been cleaned yet, so I lived in this bedroom for half a step away.
However, it does not mean that what happened outside, I know nothing.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were left by them washed the steps and floors with water outside every day, and Pei Yuanxiu was also carrying out a major cleaning in the court.
As the saying goes, one day the emperor and another day the minister.
Although Pei Yuanhao took his men and his concubines away, some of the ministers did not leave. Some of these people were guarding the capital to be loyal and filial to the emperor. Some even had one or two extremes. After learning that Pei Yuanxiu had occupied the palace, he was directly killed by Dan.
And some of them naturally followed the times and joined Pei Yuanxiu's command and became his ministers.
But none of these are the most important.
Since he has entered the capital, changing the dynasty is imperative.
