Pei Yuanhao looked at me in surprise. Although he was surprised, he didn't seem to feel unacceptable. He just thought about it carefully and looked at me again: "So what?"

“…”

I was silent for a moment and it would be fine to tell him what Qinghan and Liu Li recognized, but I really don't want to say more about the others.

There is no need to say more.

Then he said, "Nothing."

Pei Yuanhao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at me. He obviously knew that I was perfunctory, but this was a matter between me and Qinghan after all, so he had no way to ask, so he fell silent.

Fortunately, the waiter came in again at this time and brought us good food. I gave him a piece of silver and told him not to come in and disturb him. After he took it, he withdrew with great gratitude.

The pearl curtain swayed slightly and made a rustling sound, making the silence between the two people more and more abrupt. After a while, he said, "What are you doing?"

I looked up at him: "Didn't your Majesty's men be stationed outside the city?"

He slowly turned his head and looked out the window. The restaurant was not very tall. Looking out from the window, he could only barely have the scenery downstairs. The sky was gradually darkening, and the houses in the distance had left the last bit of outline in the twilight. Each family had already started to make fires and make meals. The blue smoke rose up, which was a very quiet scene full of fireworks.

He said, "I want to come and see what Chengdu is like."

“…”

"What does your hometown look like?"

I said coldly: "But in the eyes of some people, Your Majesty may be here to inspect and see what this place that may belong to the court in the future will look like."

He turned around and looked at me: "Who are some of the people you are talking about?"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to know this."

“…”

He looked at me, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "After so many years, you haven't changed at all."

“…?”

I looked at him in surprise, not knowing what this sudden sentence meant, but I saw him reaching out to grab the wine pot on the table, pouring half a glass of wine into his cup, and saying, "You want to protect me and protect them."

“…”

His eyes were like a torch, but he could see it at a glance.

I had nothing to say, and didn't want to say anything. Seeing him reaching out to grab the wine pot on the table and pouring himself half a glass of wine, and then he wanted to pour wine for me again, I reached out to block it gently and refused.

He looked at me and said, "You shouldn't do such a thing, just a woman."

"There is nothing to do," I said lightly: "This place is Xichuan, and my surname is Yan. As the eldest lady of the Yan family, I enjoy the power given to me by this identity, so I should pay the price for it."

“…”

He looked at me quietly for a while, and seemed to have nothing to say, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Susu and I rushed over with us, but there was no stop in the middle of the journey, and we only barely ate a little something on the carriage for lunch. At this time, Susu was already hungry, so I asked her to eat something to fill her stomach, but she picked up some things for me and put them in a bowl, but unfortunately I couldn't eat it at all.

I originally thought that things would be easier to handle when he arrived at the inn where he was stationed, but I didn't expect that this man was so bold and took his shadow guard into Chengdu City. Not to mention the old patriarchs, the fact that the fifth uncle alone was enough to make me lose my head.

I looked at him while drinking and asked, "Do you bring the people into the city this time?"

He turned around and said, "I don't have the habit, and I still have people watching when I walk here."

“…”

This is indeed good, but I am afraid that something really happens and there is not enough manpower.

Now, I just hope that nothing unexpected happens.

There was nothing to say next. The three of us stayed quietly. Pei Yuanhao seemed to be very satisfied with the wine in this inconspicuous restaurant. He drank and poured another glass, and Su Su advised me to eat something more.

I could only barely take a few bites.

There was something I had, although it couldn't solve the troubles, but it still made people feel a little more comfortable. I looked up at Pei Yuanhao, thought for a while, and said, "When Your Majesty passed by Jian Pavilion, did you see him--have you seen him?"

He turned around and looked at me: "You mean, Lao Wu."

I nodded quickly.

He didn't answer, and after a while he said, "His daughter is very beautiful."

He also saw Xiaoxiao.

When he thought of the two brothers being separated for many years, he had not expected that by the time he met, he had left his capital and his throne. Pei Yuanfeng, from the reckless young man in the past, had transformed into the appearance of his current mature and steady father.

Time will not be stingy with its paces at all.

I said, "Then, your Majesty has also seen Concubine Ning and the others?"

"Well, Jin Qiao told me everything they encountered."

"Your Majesty didn't seem to be staying in Jiange for too long, and then set off."

"Um."

"Why? Your Majesty is not worried that entering Xichuan will encounter the same things as that encountered by Concubine Ning and the others?"

"So what if you worry? There are some things that you still have to face even though you know it is going to happen."

“…”

"Besides-" He glanced at me again and said, "I believe in you."

“…”

I stopped saying anything, lowered my head and drank a little water.

Pei Yuanhao said again: "I have heard about Xishan Academy all the way."

I looked up at him: "What your Majesty said is the fire?"

"What I'm talking about is that argument," his eyes flashed with a little light, as if he was a little yearning, and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such outstanding people in Shu, who could do such shocking things even more."

“…”

"Stand up and enter the game..." He murmured these four words, and when he looked at me, his eyes became more solemn: "Little, you seem to surprise me forever."

I said lightly: "That may disappoint Your Majesty."

"What?"

"The person who did this is your father-in-law; the person who brought it up is Qinghan; I just picked up a ready-made bargain."

He also heard the alienation in my words, but he didn't mind. He just smiled faintly and drank the remaining little wine in the glass in one go.

Then, while pouring wine for himself, he asked, "Nianshen is still in the academy now?"

"Yes. He has already joined the mountain chief's disciple. This time the academy fire has been very implicated. His Royal Highness, Nan Zhenyi's disciple, will also stay."

Pei Yuanhao thought for a while and said, "That Xishan Academy is not far from here?"
