Here, there are only three of us.
Pei Yuanhao sat on the main seat, with one hand on the table, and still holding the warm jade in his hand. Although his attitude towards Miaoyan was stern, he seemed to be calm and did not mean to be furious.
In fact, if it were in the past, this time would have been the time when I was most afraid of it. Sitting side by side with Liu Qinghan and facing him was a nightmare that I could never imagine.
Maybe the next moment, we will be torn apart by his anger.
Now, he sat in front of us very peacefully. Although his eyes were still dark and deep, like a bottomless deep pool, it made people unable to see what emotions were hidden inside. But when I turned to look, Liu Qinghan sat straight beside me with his back, his eyelids drooping slightly, his attitude seemed respectful and gentle, but the breath that came out of him made me calm down.
Indeed, everything is different.
Now it is no longer the time when I am still in the palace, and I am trampled on by others and stalemate.
As a minister, even if he is unwilling, he will have even more helplessness.
I don't have to control my heart, let alone my eyes.
I even thought presumptuously that maybe I could just talk about it here. Even if everyone can't be unwilling to be irresistible, at least don't be suspicious of each other, and don't be wary of each other when cooperating. Qinghan and I... what we want to do is ultimately attributed to him.
Just as I was thinking about it in a daze, I suddenly heard Qinghan calling me: "Qingying?"
"ah?"
I looked up at him and he said, "His Majesty the Emperor is asking you."
"ah……?"
I was still a little confused, and turned my head to look at Pei Yuanhao.
He sat there, the sunlight seemed to be unable to touch his eyes, and those dark eyes looked at me without blinking: "How is the situation in the capital?"
"Oh." I straightened my mind and hurriedly sat upright, telling him everything I saw and heard in the capital. Although I spent most of my time in the palace and the few times I went out were just to the Song Mansion, fortunately, I read and asked more and got a lot of news from outside.
At the end, I told him: "Now they are ready to attack Xichuan, and the military will immediately send additional troops here, and Jingxing Pass—"
Liu Qinghan said on the side: "I have told His Majesty the Emperor about this."
"oh."
I nodded and didn't continue talking.
Pei Yuanhao gently stroked the jade in his hand for a while, and then said, "I guess your journey should have been here two days ago. Is this delayed period because of Jingxing Pass?"
Liu Qinghan said: "That's right."
"Thank you two for your hard work."
"where."
After saying this, everyone seemed to have nothing to say. They sat quietly at the table, facing a cold leftover soup that was already a little cold. After a while, they heard Pei Yuanhao say, "Okay, you two have also come here for a long distance. Go down and rest first. If you have something to do, I will find you again."
Liu Qinghan immediately stood up, bowed and thanked him, and then said, "There is the other side of Jingxing Pass--"
"I'll send someone here right away."
"His Majesty the Emperor."
I also stood up, saluted Pei Yuanhao with him, then left the side hall, and turned around and left.
Pei Yuanhao sat there all the time, without even a sound.
Although I didn't look back, the familiar and annotated feeling has been lingering in my heart.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Xiao Yusheng coming up. It seemed that although Chang Qing opened another table for him, he had no intention of enjoying it. As soon as he saw us coming out, he hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, eldest lady, are you okay?"
Liu Qinghan smiled and said, "Nothing will happen."
Xiao Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief only then.
Liu Qinghan said again: "You go down and restrain your people. After all, this place is not elsewhere. We have to delay here for a few days."
"knew."
Xiao Yusheng was also neat, so he turned around and went down to do his business. I stood there. Although I listened to them, I was a little dazed. It was not until he turned around and called me twice that I came back to my senses: "Ah?"
He glanced at me and said, "Let's go and go and rest first."
A servant had already come up and led us to the other side room. Of course, our rooms were separated, not far or near, so it was a natural arrangement. He took me to my room first, and after watching me open the door and walk in, he said, "You have a good rest."
I nodded: "Yeah."
He stood at the door without any intention of coming in. He looked at me again, and turned around and left without saying anything.
I stood in the room, not knowing what I was going to do. Until a maid came over and told me that the bathing pond was ready, I followed them over and washed away all the dust and walked out with wet hair. When the cold wind blew, I finally woke up a little.
I told the maids not to follow me, so I took a turn and went to Liu Qinghan's room.
The door was covered in vain. When I walked over and was about to knock on the door, I saw him sitting at the table through the crack, staring at the bronze mirror on the table, holding the mask I took off from my face in my hand.
What is he looking at?
I pushed the door: "Qinghan?"
He turned around suddenly and saw that it was me. He hurriedly put the mask back on his face and stood up with a smile: "You are here."
Only then did I realize that he had just taken a shower, and his hair was wet on his shoulders. He probably didn't have to wipe it. The dripping water dripped the long gown he had just changed into was wet. I hurriedly said, "You're sitting here in a daze, why don't you wipe your hair dry? It will catch a cold when the wind blows!"
"I--"
"Sit down!"
He was obedient and sat back obediently. When I went to find a towel, he had already pressed the bronze mirror on the table. I ignored it. He wiped the ends of his hair clean for a few times, and did not drip dripping water. But he heard him coughing while covering his mouth. I said, "Look at you, the cough has not been cured before, and now it's cold again!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He smiled and said, "It's okay, I just thought about something, but I forgot."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Think about what I told him today."
I stopped while wiping his hair and said, "By the way, what did you say to the emperor behind today? What should you do next? Have you discussed it?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I feel that he—he seems to have some other thoughts, and he is not going to let us know."
"oh?"
Pei Yuanhao has other ideas and is not going to let us know.
Of course I understand that not everyone can figure it out, let alone everyone can see it thoroughly. Especially now that he has reached this point, if he has no backup plan, he will be forced out of the capital, let alone I don’t believe it, Liu Qinghan may not believe it.
So when it comes to this matter, everyone has the mentality of seeing through it and not telling it out loud.
Feeling my stunned, he looked back at me, as if he was about to say something, but he didn't speak. Instead, he slowly turned his head and saw that he was like this, I wanted to say something to him, but when I wanted to speak, I found that I didn't know what to say, or I didn't know what I wanted to say to him at all.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became awkward.
I silently wiped his hair.
After a while, I said, "The emperor just said, let you go and see Miaoyan's homework-"
"I mentioned it."
"Then you, tell her."
"Don't worry."
...
Then, the two of them became quiet again.
His hair was almost dry by me, and it was moist and spread behind his head. I could vaguely see the mottled silver light flashing inside. I looked down and was immersed in my mind.
At this moment, he said in a low voice: "By the way, you came here not just to wipe my hair, right? Do you have anything to say to me?"
I looked up and saw that he did not look back. He just sat upright, not knowing where to look, but I felt that his eyes seemed to be looking at me, seeing every minute of mine clearly.
I was silent for a while and finally said, "I, I want to see the emperor."
“…”
He was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at me, with a faint smile on his face: "I know you will want to see him, go."
"But--"
"Are you worried about what he will say to you, or, what he will do to you?"
“…”
"Don't be afraid."
“…”
"He can't say anything, and he can't do anything."
Looking at his calm eyes, I suddenly remembered what Kouer said before, Pei Yuanhao threw something inside, and immediately asked: "You, did you tell him something? It made him furious?"
"You don't have to worry about this. If you want to meet him, just know that you don't have to be afraid of anything, let alone anyone, just be fine."
“…”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head silently.
Even he refused to say what they were talking about today, and Pei Yuanhao probably wouldn't mention it again, but I think he could leave me alone and meet Pei Yuanhao without fear of anything, and would make Pei Yuanhao fall, but he would probably touch the emperor's reverse scale.
But no matter what, I don't have to worry too much with his words.
After his hair was dry, he stood up and looked at his clothes that were wet. He opened his luggage and picked up a long gown. Seeing that I was still standing there, he said, "I will change my clothes and go find Miaoyan."
"oh--"
I immediately understood what I came over and turned around and walked out of his room.
However, when I just walked to the door, he stopped me again: "Qingying, do you want it? Or let Yusheng follow me?"
I immediately said, "No!"
