I put my hands on the table, looked at him straight, and said as if I had negotiated: "First, I will leave after this New Year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I must leave the palace."

He looked at me calmly: "I promise you."

"Second, I am Miaoyan's mother, but not anyone in this palace, so I don't go to see the ladies. If they have nothing to do, they won't have to come to "visit" me. As for any banquets of His Majesty, I think I don't need to attend. I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to understand."

He was silent for a moment and said, "I promise you."

"Third," said this, I raised my head and looked at his dark eyes, and my voice lowered slightly: "I hope His Majesty the Emperor is kind-hearted and let Ping'er go."

When he heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you know I locked him up?"

I said calmly: "I guess, His Majesty the Emperor should have locked him up, because after I returned to the capital, I didn't see him inside and outside the palace, but this child has a beginning and an end to do things. Since he was entrusted by me to escort Miaoyan back to His Majesty the Emperor, he would definitely explain the matter clearly. But now, he has neither come to me to explain this matter nor followed Miaoyan. And..."

"And," he looked at me coldly: "He is also the murderer of the eldest princess!"

My heart sank suddenly.

What I had always expected to happen before happened eventually, Pei Yuanhao still knew that Gu Ping was the murderer that night - but whether he was investigated or Gu Ping said it himself, I didn't have time to think about it carefully, but at this moment my face suddenly turned pale, and I looked at him with a trembling trembling: "He was also instructed..."

"After someone instructing me, isn't it the murderer?"

"…I don't mean that."

His face was covered with a layer of haze, and it was like frost. He said coldly: "Your guess is right. I did lock him up. Your hope is right. I am kind-hearted and did not kill him directly."

My heart is tightened.

"He killed my sister, and on the night of the eldest princess' wedding, I should have tear him to pieces to vent my hatred. The reason why I didn't is that he was ordered by someone!"

“…”

"Otherwise, he would have been a wisp of unjust soul in Caishikou now!"

I could almost feel the anger he suppressed in his body from his gritted teeth. Indeed, I knew that Gu Ping had caused a huge disaster this time. Assassinating a man in the royal family was originally a death sentence, and what he killed was a great help to Pei Yuanhao. He could have adjusted the power of the three parties. Looking back at that time, Pei Yuanhao even allowed Pei Yuanzhen to open a prefecture in Yangzhou. It can be seen that his trust and favor for her, but his trust and favor have always been for a reason. Pei Yuanzhen was able to make him pay attention to this because of the great things she could do for him at that time. Unfortunately, once she died, everything was almost gone. At least now, the relationship between Pei Yuanhao and Xichuan was still in a state of lingering situation, and what Pei Yuanhao was about to face was the war that could be ignited at any time in Jiangnan.

I said softly: "Your Majesty the Emperor..."

"Yan Qingying," he suddenly called my name. The voice was a bit hard and cold, which made me tremble. He raised his head and met his eyes as deep as a cold pond, and looked at me coldly: "If this is your third condition, then you'd better change one."

“…”

"Yes, I hope you can stay, but I am not as stupid as you imagined!"

As soon as he heard this, he knew that he was angry and would not give in.

But I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

Since I entered the palace and had not seen Gu Ping in Jingren Palace or anywhere, I guessed that he had been dealt with. Of course, there are two possibilities for this "processing", one is to be arrested and the other is to be killed. Of course, I hope it is the former, but with Pei Yuanhao's violent temperament, it is very likely that it is the latter. The third condition I just proposed is that I am testing.

Somewhat unexpected, but reasonable, he did not kill the murderer who assassinated the eldest princess. As for the reason, it was probably as he said himself - "The reason why there was no is because he was instructed by someone." It is useful for him to keep him.

Actually, I also know that it is not easy to let the emperor release an ordinary prisoner, not to mention that this person is Gu Ping who touched his scales and was able to survive, which is a gift.

Since that's the case, I'm relieved.

No matter what, Gu Ping is still alive, as long as he has a life, there are countless possibilities.

I took a breath and said, "Since that's the case, I'll change my conditions."

He looked at me coldly: "You said."

My eyes fell on Miaoyan, who had been sitting quietly aside. When I saw me looking at Miaoyan, the seemingly in his eyes slowly faded away. I was silent for a moment, and then said, "In the future, Miaoyan is in this palace. No matter how she cries, please don't take her to Nangong Jieyu."

His face suddenly became dark.

"Light..."

I saw that he was trying to explain, and interrupted him calmly and gently, saying, "Miaoyan is of course ignorant. I know, but there are some things that you don't have to wait until she is sensible."

“…”

"I would also like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to agree to my small request."

“…”

A small hill piled up between his eyebrows. He looked at me silently for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

"I hope His Majesty the Emperor will do what he said," I looked into his eyes and said without giving in: "I heard that the concubine Jiexiu is approaching recently. This is of course a 'happy event', but I also hope that His Majesty can take the time to handle the wonderful words properly outside of this. I will be grateful to His Majesty the Emperor."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."

He didn't say anything, but I seemed to hear his gritting teeth.

I don’t know how long it took, Pei Yuanhao spoke, his voice cold and hard, “Okay, I promise you.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

After saying this, both of us fell silent.

I had nothing to say, and he seemed to have a lot to say. I could hear his heavy breathing. It seemed that he was suppressing something in his violently undulating chest, but he didn't dare to let it be released easily. So, the room suddenly fell into a silence.

The only one who is quite "free" is the always silent words.

The atmosphere, with the wind and snow outside, and the silence that was confronting the two of them, seemed to become tense.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted and Chang Qing walked in from outside.

As she walked into the room, a cold wind blew in with snow foam, but suddenly made the atmosphere in the room lively. She smiled and said, "What a cold God. Your Majesty, these are what I asked them to do. The emperor tasted them, but don't dislike them."

Pei Yuanhao then moved his eyes from my face to her.

Behind her were Kuaer and Su Su. Su Su's face was pale. I don't know how long it had been frozen outside, and she was trembling. After all, she had not been in the palace for a long time and had not been able to fully adapt to everything in the palace. Looking at Pei Yuanhao and I sitting opposite each other like negotiations, the cold expressions of the two of them were enough to make her worry.

Kua'er had already taken the box in his hand, looked at Pei Yuanhao with a good fortune, then took out the snacks inside and placed them on the table one by one.

Chang Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please try it."

Pei Yuanhao picked up a piece of cake and put it to his mouth and took a bite, then looked at me: "Don't you eat a little?"

Before I could speak, he said again, "The Queen brought it specially."

“…”

I looked at him, looked up at Chang Qing, and had to avenge him, then reached out to take a piece and put it to my mouth to eat.

Chang Qing then felt relieved and smiled slightly.

Then, she came over and sat down, Pei Yuanhao said, "The queen is ready for tomorrow night's dinner, right?"

"Yes," Chang Qing said gently: "Without any success with Sister Ning's help."

After hearing what she said, Pei Yuanhao looked at her with a smile: "She is very much in line with the queen's wishes."

Chang Qing smiled and said, "My sister Ning Fei is smart and virtuous, dignified and decent. I really like her very much. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have saved so much attention."

Pei Yuanhao smiled and said, "What should the queen save so much energy to do?"

Chang Qing sighed faintly: "If I don't spend some time on the prince's homework, it won't work."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Pei Yuanhao's face slowly calmed down.

And my heart suddenly moved.

I knew about my deep homework when I went to Jixian Hall before. Since Liu Qinghan burned those ancient books, Fu Badai devoted all his energy to re-recording ancient books. After Liu Qinghan left the capital, he naturally did not belong to him. Of course, there were other teachers in Jixian Hall, but if you had to compare with Fu Badai, it was really nothing.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment.

After a while, he said, "Is the prince still in Jixian Palace?"

Kouer next to him immediately said, "If you go back to the emperor, the prince is still in Jixian Hall and will be back in one hour."

He thought for a while and said, "The New Year is coming tomorrow, so it's time for him to relax. I'll send someone to pick him up later, just right," he said, looking up at me, with a light flashing in his eyes: "He is back, hasn't he always wanted to see his 'Aunt Qing'?"
