I frowned slightly and looked at him in a blink of an eye.

Miaoyan, who was standing beside him, suddenly heard Qinghan's name, was stunned for a moment, and raised his head to look at us.

I couldn't help feeling unhappy. Whether it wasn't that Qinghan should have been mentioned so suddenly in front of Miaoyan, or his provocative and questioning tone, my good mood that I had originally supported slowly fell down at this time.

I said lightly: "Your Majesty asks this, is there anything wrong?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that you also know that he went out secretly last night and did not return all night."

I said, "He is not someone's minister or his subordinate. He is just a guest here. If you stay and stay freely, there is no need to go out 'secretly'. Your Majesty's words are so heavy."

There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "So, do you know where he went last night?"

His words were more like a pot of hot oil, pouring on my anger that had not been extinguished.

I could hardly suppress my retort to him, but when I saw Miaoyan beside me biting the chopsticks, looking at us with a blank look on his face, I took a deep breath, suppressed my temper, and said lightly: "I won't talk about these things when I'm having a meal."

After saying that, I smiled and picked up some vegetables for Miaoyan and put them in her bowl: "Eat quickly."

Pei Yuanhao saw that I was about to stop, but the atmosphere on the table could no longer be warm. The three of them had a meal of breakfast that was chewy and waxy. Originally, he should have gotten up and left to do his own thing at this time, but today he seemed to be very free. He sat at the table and watched the people take away all the dishes. I also explained to Miaoyan a few words to prepare to leave, and he got up and walked out.

When the two of them walked out of this room, I was about to walk to the side room immediately, but he stopped me-

“Light.”

My steps stopped, and I stopped after all, and looked back at him: "Do you have any instructions?"

He slowly walked up to me, looked down at me, and said, "If I asked you just now, you'd better think about it and ask."

“…”

"I have never felt at ease about him."

“…”

"Even though he didn't go out secretly last night, none of my people followed him. If it weren't for something shameful, would he have left everyone behind?"

When I heard him, I immediately frowned: "Did you ask someone to follow him?"

He said, "I have never been relieved about his affairs."

“…”

"What about you? Are you relieved?"

“…”

I thought for a while, then smiled faintly and said, "Of course your Majesty should not be at ease with him. As for the nobles of the Nine Five, if you believe too much in anyone and feel too much, it is not a blessing for the people of the world. As for whether I feel at ease with him... that is a matter between me and him, so your Majesty will not worry about you."

After saying that, I saluted and turned around and left.

I heard his sudden heavy breath, but I didn't look back. Just as the moment I turned around, my eyebrows slightly frowned, and I accelerated my pace and left here.

When I returned to the wing room, although I still felt a little angry, I took a detour to his room.

The door is closed.

In the courtyard at the door, there were several of his own servants and maids serving in the marquis's mansion. When they saw me walking over, they all hurriedly came forward to salute and whispered: "Miss Yan, you are here."

I asked, "Where is Mr. Liu?"

"The young master went to bed as soon as he came back, so we were not allowed to disturb him."

"He didn't even eat breakfast."

"Miss Yan, this is not OK. Young Master will hurt his body in this way."

"Miss Yan, can you persuade the young master? His health is not good at all."

The person Qinghan brought with him was obviously very anxious, and his voice couldn't help but start to speak loudly. I hurriedly reached out and made a gesture to silence on my lips, and then whispered: "He has been busy all night, so let him sleep first. You can prepare some meal later and send it to him when he wakes up. Remember to be lighter."

"yes."

All of them left. I looked back at the closed doors and windows, and without saying anything, I turned around and left.

But I didn't go back to my room, but went to Xiao Yusheng's place.

I haven't come to see him these days, but I know that he is a gentleman with a proper manner, so I am not worried about anything wrong with him in this marquis' mansion. However, unexpectedly, in his room, I actually met the marquis of Jin Gongsun Shu!

The old man was sitting in a wheelchair and talking to him. Both of them looked relaxed and happy. It was not until the servant guarding the door saw me and saluted me that they both came to their senses. Xiao Yusheng hurriedly got up and said, "Miss."

I nodded, then went in and bowed to the Marquis of Jin and said, "Greetings to the Marquis."

Gongsun Shu sat in a wheelchair and said to me with a smile: "Miss Yan doesn't have to be too polite. Are you still used to living in a humble house these days?"

"Hello, you're so kind, it's very good here."

I said, and said apologetically: "But we have not had time to pay tribute to the Marquis for these days."

He waved his hand gently: "Miss Yan and Mr. Liu, you are both people who do great things, so you don't have to ask me, the old man."

"Mr. Marquis must not say that."

We were each polite, and the Marquis of Jin was also an informed and tactful person, saying, "Miss Yan came to find Mr. Xiao to discuss important matters, so I will say goodbye first."

"Hao Master, walk slowly."

Xiao Yusheng and I kept watching him leave. When we turned around, we saw Xiao Yusheng's eyes with a faint look. I whispered: "How could he come to find you?"

Xiao Yusheng said, "I met by chance two days ago. After talking, the old marquis knew that my teacher went to Xishan Academy, and he liked the teacher's books very much, and then he gradually became familiar with it. There was nothing wrong these two days, so he often came to me to chat with me. The old marquis didn't have any airs."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I sighed and said, "I remember when I first met him, he was still sick and I didn't know anyone. Now it's-"

Before I finished speaking, Xiao Yusheng said, "Miss, do you know why he was like that at that time?"

I frowned slightly: "Aren't you sick?"

He shook his head and lowered his voice, "I heard him mention it accidentally during my conversation with him. It was Gongsun Qi. His son gave him medicine to control him and his power. For many years, he could see and hear, but could not speak, and watched his son step by step towards the abyss."

I was shocked: "Ah?!"

It turned out to be Gongsun Qi, his own son, who drugged him?

No wonder Gongsun Qihui was so bold and publicly supported Pei Yuanxiu before. Once he died in the chaos in the capital, Gongsun Shu returned to normal and began to support the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.

I thought that in the imperial city, people could ignore human ethics for the sake of the golden dragon throne. It turned out that even in such a wealthy and noble family of officials, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness were just a joke.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Yusheng accompanied me back to the table and sat down. He poured me a cup of tea and put it on his hand, and then said, "By the way, Miss, are you doing something for me?"

I picked up the teacup and took a sip, pursed my lips: "It's nothing. The emperor said he was going to leave here tomorrow. Do you all know?"

"Well, the news has been spread, and I'll let everyone go and prepare."

"Then, did Qinghan tell you what did you think?"

"Senior brother? He has never come to see me."

“…”

I fell silent.

Even he and Liu Qinghan didn't say anything.

Looking at my solemn expression, Xiao Yusheng immediately noticed something keenly, and felt that my purpose of coming to him today was not simple. He said in a deep voice: "Miss, has something happened to my senior brother?"

I was silent for a moment and said, "He went out last night and never returned all night. He didn't come back until this morning."

"Oh?" He was slightly stunned and said, "Then are he with someone?"

"This is what I worry about. He went out alone, and—" I frowned: "The emperor also knows about this, and the emperor has been sending people to follow him."

Xiao Yusheng's brows also frowned.

In fact, the emperor sent someone to follow him. Even if he didn't get this on the table, no one knew that a person like Pei Yuanhao could not be completely let go of a person who was so powerful but did not obey him. It is the most basic thing to master Qinghan's behavior and behavior.

However, if Qinghan follows what he is doing now, it will be a great disadvantage for him.

Xiao Yusheng thought for a while and said, "Didn't he tell you?"

I shook my head.

He said, "I thought he would discuss anything with the young lady..."

"I wanted to tell him, but maybe there was a little misunderstanding between me and him."

“…”

Xiao Yusheng looked at me. What a keen person he was. Seeing that we lived in the inner courtyard these two days, the emperor and the princess had such a relationship with me, I probably guessed what kind of "misunderstanding" it was.

He thought for a while and said, "If the eldest lady asks me to follow him, then I'm afraid - the elders are in order. He is the senior brother and the teacher's disciple. Even if he returns to the academy, the senior brother will not dare to do anything to him. Unless he allows him, I cannot interfere with his behavior."

"No, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you," I said hurriedly, "I won't let you do this."

"Miss is not--"

"I'm worried about him, not doubting him."

“…”

"Yusheng, I'm not afraid to tell you that I feel a little uneasy about leaving Shanxi and entering Guanzhong for some reason."

“…”
