Pei Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood: "Is Ye Yunshuang his daughter?"

I nodded quickly.

He took a deep breath and frowned.

It was one thing that he knew that Ye Yunshuang was sent to the palace by Xichuan; it was one thing that he had met the Lord Ye and knew that he wanted to kill him, but it was one thing that he suddenly became father and daughter, which was a bit surprising to him.

I thought he still needed some time to digest this fact, so he didn't continue to say anything, but lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside. We had entered the main city. We could see that all the people around us surrounded us. As our team slowly drove forward, many people pointed and talked.

This incident was a hot topic before, but now in such a big situation, they probably know what's going on.

After all, Xichuan has been split from the Central Plains for so many years. Not to mention anything else, they have never had the concept of "Son of Heaven" in their hearts, nor did they have the behavior of the people of the Central Plains kneeling down to greet each other like that. But when they heard that the emperor was coming, they still squeezed to watch the fun. For a while, the wide road was squeezed out.

Fortunately, Tang Ting came. She sent someone forward with a cold face and drove away the people in front so that our team could move forward smoothly.

"What does it mean if you tell me this?"

I turned around and saw Pei Yuanhao looking up at me, with a little cold look in my eyes: "My 'beard' almost killed me when I was in Xi'an Prefecture."

I said, "Does Your Majesty know why he did that?"

"Why?"

"A few days ago, I met a young man who had been following Master Ye at Xishan Academy. He was the confidant of Master Ye. He told me that the reason why Master Ye went to Xi'an Prefecture to threaten His Majesty and even sent someone to medicine Qinghan and stimulate the toxicity in his body was to see His Majesty's attitude."

"What? My attitude?"

"See if your Majesty is a monarch who can tolerate others."

“…”

"They all know the relationship between Qinghan and me and Your Majesty, and also know the song "The Emperor's Out of the Three Rivers" that has been circulated along the way. If Your Majesty can even protect him, it will prove that Your Majesty is a monarch who loves talents and is tolerant of others. Only such a monarch is worthy of giving them a different look."

“…”

"The young man also told me that they had actually sent people to watch Jiange. If you could see Qinghan when you entered Sichuan this time, you would let Your Majesty enter Sichuan. If you could not, Your Majesty would not be able to move into Xichuan in this life."

Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows slightly, probably not expecting that there would be such twists and turns in it. After a while, he said with a smile: "It seems that I should be grateful to Liu Qinghan."

I said, "I should be grateful to Your Majesty, and what Your Majesty wants to be grateful to is myself."

At that time, he made the choice in a moment, and no one asked for it. His thought of goodness received such a "reward" not long after. It is said that this is really rewarding for goodness.

"When Your Majesty was holding a cold wind banquet in Yangzhou and placing a clear water table, he once told the grain merchants in Yangzhou that he had told him that cause and effect. I think this is Your Majesty's own cause and effect."

He smiled faintly.

"So, there was a reason you advised me to leave Yun Shuang behind."

"I didn't know her identity at that time, but her intention to His Majesty was true, and it would always be good to keep her."

“…”

When Pei Yuanhao heard this, his face became more serious. He was silent for a while and said, "In other words, I have passed the first level of Master Ye?"

"That's right."

"What is the second level?"

"The second level is the Yan family's level, which depends on Your Majesty himself. Since you were able to convince Liu Qi last night, I think the other old patriarchs - they should have something to ask for."

Pei Yuanhao looked at me: "Where is your brother?"

"He?" I hesitated for a moment, recalling the words he said to me before leaving the Yan family yesterday and his deep eyes. I was silent for a while and said, "What he wants may be simpler."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao looked at me for a while and said, "What are you worried about?"

I looked up at him and he said, "You should know the significance of this peace talk to the world, but the closer I get to Xichuan, the less smile you have on your face. If it is as you said, your brother wants simpler, then this peace talk will not be easy? Why are you worried?"

“…”

I was silent for a while before saying, "It is because he wants it so simple that I worry."

He looked at me and said word by word: "Are you not the words I have said before to reassure you?"

To be honest, I am indeed uneasy. After all, I am from the Yan family in Xichuan. I am responsible for the future of the entire Xichuan and Yan family. What will the Yan family become after the peace talks are not only worried by the old patriarchs, but also by the old patriarchs. Pei Yuanhao is not a person who believes in my heart. How can I protect myself and Qinghan? All of this makes me laugh.

However, even if I can face him calmly now, I can't say such words.

I changed the topic and said, "The Lord Ye is a moody person and is determined to kill, but the father and daughter are in love. Besides, Princess Ling is so big, I think his mood must be different from the past."

Pei Yuanhao could see that I was intentionally avoiding the topic just now, but he didn't force anything. He just smiled faintly and said, "I understand what you mean. It seems that it is right for you to persuade me to leave Yun Shuang behind."

I nodded, too.

At this time, we felt the speed of the carriage slowed down. I lifted the curtain and looked forward, and said, "Your Majesty, we are coming."

In front of you, you can already see the shining house of the Yan family under the setting sun.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Pei Yuanhao heard it, there was no expression on his face, but I could clearly feel his breath sank slightly and he sat there motionlessly.

Most of his men were stationed outside the city yesterday, and he also brought a few shadow guards into Chengdu. I think he should be very curious about Xichuan and Chengdu, so he would naturally be more curious about the Yan family. But now, the Yan family's head is right in front of him, so he did not look at it, but sat upright with his hands on his knees, as stable as a rock.

I also put down the curtain.

The carriage slowly drove forward, gradually leaving the noisy sounds behind. After about a stick of incense, we finally arrived.

Although you can't see outside, the solemn atmosphere can be felt through the curtains.

Our carriage was at the back. In front, in addition to Tang Ting and his team, there were also some officials who were brought into Shu by Pei Yuanhao. They all got off the carriage and were on both sides. Then Pei Yuanhao and I slowly walked off the carriage.

After standing still, I looked up and saw the tall stone steps that seemed to lead to the sky. There were teams on both sides, and the guards were standing in a dress, looking particularly solemn.

Pei Yuanhao got out of the car behind me, then raised his head, the blood-red sunset shone on his face, and the deep eyes flashed slightly. For some reason, his eyes seemed to have reddened as well. He looked blankly for a while, then lowered his head and looked at me.

"here it is--"

"My home."

"This is the Yan family?"

I think he should be very sober at this time, but for some reason he seemed a little dazed. After a while, he slowly said, "I remembered that story."

"What? What story?"

"The story Hepin told at the beginning."

“…”

When I think back, it should be what Liu Li said in the palace, what I was when I was a child.

Why do you think of that thing at this time? Could it be that just because I saw the place where I grew up when I was a child, I reminded him of the stories that Liu Li told me about when I was a child?

I looked at him in surprise. Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while before slowly lowering his head, and did not look at me, but just said in a deep voice-

"You have suffered a lot of grievances over the years."

“…”

Is this the other sentence?

For some reason, people always say this to me during this period. When I hear it now, I feel that my ears are a little callused.

I said lightly: "It's just a life experience."

“…”

"Your Majesty, please."

After saying that, I made a gesture.

He looked at me again, took a deep breath, and looked up at the towering and tall building. The gilded tiles reflected a dazzling golden light from the sunset. The golden light flashed through his eyes. The little confusion just now had completely disappeared, and the only thing left was calm and seriousness.

He dusted his sleeves and walked forward with me.

The officials also dressed in a row and followed him in line, slowly climbing up the steps.

Whenever we walked up to the next step, the guards standing on both sides immediately bent down to salute and kept climbing to the highest point of the step. Aunt Hong came over with her people. Her eyes were particularly sharp. It has been a long time since I saw such sharp eyes from the loving, fat and white smile. She glanced at Pei Yuanhao and led the people forward.

After passing the familiar long avenue, I saw the most majestic and magnificent tall building in the Yan family's house, which is also the lobby that only important guests will open on weekdays. The avenue and in front of the hall were lined up with guards. When I led Pei Yuanhao into the road, they all bowed down to salute.

Finally walked to the door of the lobby.

At a glance, I saw a lot of people standing inside, Tang Yuan, Mr. An, and Mr. Liu Er. Everyone was wearing particularly solemn robes and staring at us with bright eyes.

And behind them, directly above the lobby, were two tables.
