I said, "Please don't let people enter this place easily, let alone move the things inside."

He looked into my eyes and said, "Why?"

Why? Because it is all Fu Badai's efforts.

Last time, Liu Qinghan burned Jixian Hall, which made him so angry that he said the curse of "I will not die well". You can imagine how much that incident hit him, especially the only disciple he personally took to his disciple. I can imagine how heartbreaking he felt. Now, in order to record the ancient books that were destroyed in the fire, he turned white. I don't know how many he took away, but I know that there are so many books in Jixian Hall that cannot be taken away completely.

These are more important than the fate of the dynasty.

I said softly: "The things in it are so important, I don't want anyone to come in and touch it."

His breathing suddenly sank.

I raised my head and was about to say something, but I saw that he didn't wait for me to say something, and turned around and walked forward.

I was a little stunned for a moment, especially when I looked at his back, I felt a stubbornness that could not resist and argue, which left me with no room for speech at all, and could only follow him slowly and walk back to the bedroom.

The door was closed behind him.

I didn't look back, but when I heard the heavy breath, I knew that he did not leave, but stood at the door.

His heart seemed to be in chaos.

But this is not what I want to care about now. I have been out for so long and met so many people. After hearing so many things, I was very tired, so I didn't look back and slowly walked towards the inner room. I lifted the bead curtain that was shining brightly by the light, and just walked in one step when I heard him say, "Why don't you speak?"

My steps didn't stop, and I continued to walk forward slowly: "What do you want me to say?"

Hearing my words, he stopped himself.

I have already made it clear about Jixian Palace just now. He and I walked back without saying a word along the way. If I were to ask me to say anything, I really don’t know, and his question seems too abrupt.

But his tone seemed to be taken for granted, what should I say at this time.

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Are he still alive?"

I was caught off guard when I heard this question and even suffocated my breathing

Gripping his teeth, I said, "Of course he is still alive!"

He said behind him, "But no one can survive after being poisoned."

This sentence was like a red-burned needle, piercing hard into my chest, and completely piercing the calm that I could support on the surface. I suddenly turned my head and looked at him through a layer of swaying bead curtains. Both of them looked a little flickering, but none of them took another step forward.

"He has met many vicious people and many miserable things in his life, but he has always lived well and has never bowed his head to fate."

I said word by word: "He must be alive!"

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes flashed suddenly, and then he became dizzy.

He looked at me calmly for a while, and I thought he would say something else, but he suddenly said, "You have a good rest."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and opened the door and went out.

I stood in the inner room, looking at the curtains that were constantly crackling by the gust of wind that had just been poured in when the door was opened, and felt the cold wind blowing across my cheeks, bringing a chill, and I was a little stunned.

At that moment, I was a little out of control.

I knew it was Xie Houqi who deliberately said those words to stimulate us, but this was probably a thorn in Pei Yuanxiu's heart, and indeed, it has always been a wound in my heart.

However, when I calmed down by the wind, I couldn't help but frown.

Xie Houqi, why did you suddenly raise the cold?

Also, he just said that he had thought of a way to solve the problem between them. What is the solution?

In fact, even if Pei Yuanxiu cannot control Jiangnan now and cannot hand over the taxes of the wealthy land to Shengjing, a war ended and robbed the wealth of the entire capital. Xie Houqi himself had already made enough money and was rich. He was ecstatic and knew the taste, but he didn't know what other vicious methods would be.

I can imagine that this person is cunning and vicious, and he will definitely not have any good plans. If he put his ideas on the people, the world will be even worse!

|

In the next two days, I didn't see Pei Yuanxiu again.

However, as the weather gradually improved and the ice and snow around me gradually melted, I also had the opportunity to step out of this bedroom again. Although I was under the "care of Huazhuyun Mountain", I could only walk around a few palace gates very close to each other, which was much better than before.

So, I have more time to go out and go.

It is precisely because of this that I heard much more news than before.

For example - Pei Yuanxiu handed over all the nine gates of the capital to Xie Feng.

For example - for example, the soldiers from the south were temporarily relieved.

For example, the several camps around the capital seem to have some new trends.

...

For example - Pei Yuanxiu began to summon all civil and military officials in the court to discuss some matters about ascending the throne.

When I heard the last news, I was not too surprised. After all, he had occupied the capital, and the powerful and powerful gentry in various places were his people. It was natural to ascend the throne and become emperor. Even after he officially ascends the throne, he has the formal power to issue edicts to the whole country, such as - tax increase.

During the two days when I was able to walk around in the palace, I also met Xie Houqi. Every time I saw him from afar, he would glance at me coldly, his face full of disgusting evil sneer.

I really couldn't treat this person calmly, and I knew better in my heart that Pei Yuanxiu had been entangled with him too deeply. Now Shengjing is waiting to seek benefits, and this person's appetite is not so easy to fill.

After all, the desire is unsatisfactory!

However, the only thing that surprised me was that the news came from outside said that some people from all over the country, especially some wealthy businessmen, and even some powerful gentry in some places, have also begun to enter the capital one after another.

The capital, which became somewhat deserted due to the war, finally began to gain a little popularity.

This surprised me a little.

However, the people from the Song family also entered the capital.

This is not surprising. After all, before the Battle of Cangzhou, Song Huaiyi promised Old Lady Zhang that she would return to the capital. Now that the capital has been taken down, he of course has to fulfill his promise.

But I don’t know how this old man who has been pretending to be crazy will feel when he sees the current appearance of Beijing.

On that day, Pei Yuanxiu took me out of the palace and went to the Song family to visit Mrs. Zhang.

Since I returned from Chongyun Pavilion that day, this is the first time I left the palace. The streets are still deserted. Although I can vaguely see that there are people in some private houses, the situation is unclear now, and there are no vendors on the street who dare to do business. I am even more afraid of being robbed by those who are in the army, so there are not many pedestrians.

Although it is spring and it is a good weather, the breeze blows, rolling up some hay and pieces of paper on the street, giving people a feeling of bleak autumn wind.

I just looked out and immediately put the curtain down.

Pei Yuanxiu sat upright on the other side of the carriage, closing his eyes to rest. He seemed to have already understood everything outside and was not interested in it.

The Song family's house in the capital is quite good. If it were in normal times, this place would obviously be a lively place where high-ranking officials gathered and nobles.

But now, it is so deserted that only the sound of our horse hooves are left.

The carriage was parked at the door. As soon as we got out of the car, a group of servants and maids ran out of the gate and stood on both sides. Song Huaiyi had already led Song Mi and his servants to greet him and bowed to Pei Yuanxiu: "Young Master!"

Pei Yuanxiu nodded and walked forward.

When Song Huaiyi saw me coming with him, he did not see the Han sisters in the crowd. The smile in his eyes became deeper. After a few greetings from them, Song Huaiyi leaned over and said to me, "Miss Yan, long time no see, don't be fine."

I smiled faintly: "Mr. Song, it's been a long time since I was gone."

Song Huaiyi said: "I heard from my child that I have experienced hardships and dangers along the way. Today, we are relieved to see Miss Yan safe and sound. My mother is still muttering about you."

When I heard him talk about Old Lady Zhang, I immediately said, "Is Old Lady okay?"

"Fortunately, the weather is still cold, and her legs are not very flexible and she cannot come out to greet you. Please forgive me."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "The old man's body is important. He is light. Let's go in and see her."

I originally came here to visit Mrs. Zhang. I nodded quickly when I heard him. Song Huaiyi led us in with his servants. Although the Song family's mansion in the capital is not as big as the inn in Cangzhou, and the scenery is picturesque on the mountain, it is really not small, and the scenery inside is not bad. Moreover, as soon as he entered the capital, Song Xuan probably sent someone to guard this place, so he was not robbed or attacked by others.

We also walked to the deepest yard of the mansion, where Old Lady Zhang lived and rested.

As soon as he saw us walking in, the old man hurriedly stood up from the bed and happily reached out to me: "Daughter-in-law!"

I was just stunned, but I didn't care much about her name. I walked over and held her hands: "Old lady!"

"Oh, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law!"

She probably really looked forward to seeing me again. At this time, she looked at me, her eyes turned red, and she kept stroking the back of my hand: "I haven't seen you for so long, where have you been? Why don't you come to see me, the old lady?"

I said softly, "It's been a mess outside recently, so I can't come out."

"It's messy outside?" Old Mrs. Zhang blinked her eyes and grabbed my hand tighter: "Then don't go back. Just be with me and sleep with me at night. Don't let people outside disturb us."

I smiled, and looked at Pei Yuanxiu's expression without saying a word. Obviously, he could not take this sentence seriously. At this time, he took a step forward and leaned over and said gently: "Old lady."

Only then did Old Lady Zhang turn her eyes to him: "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

"You old lady, please be fine?"

"I am still healthy and strong." Old Mrs. Zhang looked at him with a smile: "Your Highness, why haven't you come here for so long?"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "There has been chaos outside recently."

"oh."

"I am making trouble."

Old Mrs. Zhang blinked at him, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. I also subconsciously turned my head to look at him. However, Song Huaiyi and the others who were standing behind him had a deep light flashing in their eyes.

Everyone spoke again, just greetings. After a while, Pei Yuanxiu and Song Huaiyi and others had a "serious matter" to talk about and went to the other side. I could not have participated in their discussions. In addition, Old Mrs. Zhang was intimate with me and refused to let go of my hand, so she simply stayed here for more time with the elderly.

After they left, the maids put down their hot tea and snacks and left, I turned to look at Old Lady Zhang. There was no obvious change from the old man just now, but his breath was a little insufficient, so he fell back to the head of the bed and leaned on him, breathing slightly.

I hurriedly reached out to help her caress her chest and calmed down: "Old lady, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

She smiled faintly, and there was a lot of haggardness in her smile. She looked at me: "Where are you?"

I also smiled faintly: "I'm fine, too."

After she looked at me for a while, the haggardness and weakness on her face became more obvious. When she left Cangzhou, she heard Mrs. Song say that she was sick. Now it seems that she is not completely pretending to be sick. She sighed in a low voice and said, "I have wanted to come to the capital for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would be like this-" She said, looking up at me: "Miss Yan, His Majesty the Emperor, has he really left?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I nodded gently.

"Then he is safe?"

I thought about it and said, "He left, it was already arranged, and it should be safe. There was no greater war in the capital. He should be protected by a large army. For the time being, there will be no danger."

When Old Mrs. Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard me say this.

But between her eyebrows, she still felt a little disappointed and couldn't hide her disappointment. She murmured, "Why do you want to escape?"

When I heard her say this, I smiled bitterly.

In fact, it is not only her, but also too many people. I don’t even doubt that I left with Pei Yuanhao. Even Chang Qing must be disappointed. People are bloody. Even such an elderly person, even a weak woman, will have the courage to resist when she is forced into a desperate situation.

However, this is the ordinary people.

But Pei Yuanhao is an emperor, and what he considers is not a matter of fighting for his life. He should be very clear that his victory or defeat is unknown when he confronts Pei Yuanxiu.

But with Sheng Jing's troops, he only lost but not won.

I sighed and said softly: "Maybe, His Majesty the Emperor has his own considerations..."

"Although I have considered it, how can I give up the throne like this!"

"Old lady...you know too, Pei Yuanxiu is ready to ascend the throne."

"Of course I know," she said, showing a heartbroken expression, shook her head and said, "My son, they rushed into the capital for this matter. You probably don't know yet that the Cui family has been destroyed and almost all the property has been sent to the capital."

“…”

I shouldn't be surprised by this.

When the Cui family was destroyed, the Song family completely gained a foothold in front of Pei Yuanxiu. Moreover, since they entered Beijing, Pei Yuanxiu was the first to discuss things. It can be seen that he completely believed them. This is naturally a good thing. I have always hoped to protect Old Lady Zhang and Song Xuan. No matter what other things are, Old Lady Zhang should not be implicated; and Song Xuan, I just hope that he can be safe and never have any dangers again.

As for the Cui family's house being searched... Now, Pei Yuanxiu is short of money.

Xie Houqi pressed forward step by step, and copying several big families can be considered as a way to temporarily relieve the urgent need in front of him.

Hearing me say this, Old Mrs. Zhang looked out the window and confirmed that there was no figure close to me. She leaned into my ear and lowered her voice and said, "I heard from my son that now, they are selling official positions."

"What?"

I was shocked and looked at her with wide eyes.

Old Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Look at how many people have come to Beijing recently, I find it strange that these people didn't sound before. Now that the battle has just finished, there shouldn't be so many people rushing into the capital, but so many people came, and on the way, I saw many people coming with their homes. When I heard my son and Mi'er talk about it, I realized that they came to Beijing, waiting to watch the ceremony, and secondly, they were just to find a job. I heard that some price tags are already marked."

“…”

I immediately frowned.

I was wondering before that, besides Song Huaiyi and others who had joined Pei Yuanxiu's command when Pei Yuanxiu was uprising and helped him fight, there were so many people who had not expressed their attitude in the war and had just watched the change. Now that Pei Yuanxiu has occupied the capital, even if the situation is clear, they have to express their position.

And, buying an official...

First, they are expressing their position, and second, they are short of money now, and such a large amount of income is like raining in time!

That day, Xie Houqi said that he had thought of a way, was it this way?

I couldn't help but frown.

Selling official positions and titles is indeed a corruption of the Central Plains dynasty. In addition, the dynasty has changed now, and the emperor and the minister have too many vacancies and ranks to wait for. But as a grassland prince, Xie Houqi didn't even understand "there is a beauty in the book and a golden house in the book", so how could he know how to buy and sell official positions?

The way he thought should be more direct and rude than this.

But no matter what, this incident has already happened. When Pei Yuanxiu officially ascended the throne, he could issue an edict to the whole country, so that the sold officials can officially take office. At that time, these people will probably become a group of country borers again.

I sighed and shook my head.

Old Mrs. Zhang looked at me and said softly: "Miss Yan, it is not a long-term solution for you to stay here. Since His Majesty the Emperor has left the capital, you should also find a way to leave as soon as possible. But--"

She looked at my stomach.

Obviously, although I was not a big belly, she had known about pregnancy for a long time, and probably had been considering it for a long time.

I was silent for a moment and said, "I have my own plans for this."

Old Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Miss Yan is a sensible person. If you have plans, you won't worry."

“…”

"I'm old now, I'm only worried about one person."

“…!”

My heart moved slightly, I raised my head to look at her, and when I saw her gaze also seemed a little solemn, and I said three words softly - "The Supreme Emperor."

I lowered my voice: "Do you know, too?"

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at her, and Old Lady Zhang said carefully: "When Xuan'er came back, she only told me. Don't worry, even if she was dreaming and talking, she would not tell you about this."

“…”

By the way, Song Xuan knew the cause and effect of this matter, and he would not hide the best grandmother to him, so I said softly: "This matter is of great importance, and the old lady must be cautious. The matter of the Supreme Emperor... Pei Yuanxiu was very close to me, and even I couldn't mention this person in the palace, so I think he would not do anything to the Supreme Emperor for the time being, but he would not let him go like that."

Old Mrs. Zhang looked at me: "The Supreme Emperor, there will be no danger, right?"

I thought about it and said, "It should be, it should not be."

Pei Yuanxiu did not take action because of his anger the night when Chongyun Pavilion was destroyed. Now he calmed down, he should not be able to do so. And I remembered the sentence I saw when I opened a daily note in Jixian Palace - born with a strange phenomenon, there are three emperor stars.

In the past ten years, the Supreme Emperor Pei Ji abdicated the other palaces, but he did not really abdicate. The existence of him and Pei Yuanhao is the double-end of the Emperor Star. Now, Pei Yuanxiu is ready to ascend the throne. It seems that he is the third Emperor Star. Since that is the case, then the people in the Imperial Heaven Supervision were not wrong. It is true that there are three Emperor Stars, and the three of them exist at the same time.

In other words, Pei Ji should be fine for the time being, at least before Pei Yuanxiu ascended the throne and became emperor.

But after that...it's hard to say.

I murmured, "The trouble is that I don't even know where he is locked up."

Looking at my sad face, Old Lady Zhang said softly: "Ms. Yan, don't worry too much. Although she is old and weak, she still knows some people in the capital. Even if she is useless, Xuan'er... Whether it is the Supreme Emperor's affairs or Miss Yan's affairs, he can go through fire and water."

I hurriedly said, "Old Lady, don't have this kind of thought. The old Lady is old and should enjoy her old age. Now these things make you upset day and night, it's wrong for us. As for Mr. Song, he is a good person and a promising young man. I believe his future is limitless. Although I have come to this point, I am not yet desperate... But no matter what, I don't want anyone to be hurt for me anymore, especially you and Mr. Song. Please don't take risks easily!"

As I said that, the situation that Yan Wuyou wanted to die in front of me appeared in front of me that day.

I couldn't help but choked up a little, and I said softly: "I, I can't see the people I care about anymore and leave me."
