I was stunned.

He is waiting for me to come back and have dinner with him and Miaoyan?

Just when I was a little confused, he said gently: "Luckily you are back, otherwise Miaoyan will be hungry. Come and have a meal."

I slowly let go of my hand holding the door frame and walked in. Because I was still covered in cold air, I didn't walk directly to the table to get close to Miaoyan. Su Su and the others hurried over to change my clothes. I raised my hand to stop them, and then said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have already used supper outside."

He was stunned: "Has it been used?"

"Well. I have only entered the palace after eating in the mansion. Now I can't eat anything."

"and you--"

"It's not good for Your Majesty and Miaoyan to be hungry. Let's have a meal first. The girl has something to see here. After His Majesty finishes supper, the girl has something to go back to His Majesty."

After saying that, he saw a change in his face.

That faint anger was very familiar. Basically, when I saw his face like this in the past, I knew that the next storm would be a storm. But now, the storm did not come as scheduled. He stood and looked at me for a long time, and finally took a long breath and sat at the table.

Madam Wu, who had already changed her face, seemed to be hanging down by someone at this time, and even forgot her breathing, she hurried forward to serve.

I bowed and retreated into the inner room.

I heard the quiet outside, and from time to time the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

The ground dragon in the room was very hot. I didn't take off my coat. I started sweating in the room for a while. The layer of close-fitting clothes inside were almost wet, but I still didn't move. I just sat quietly at the table and looked through the book "The Collection of Magical Effects".

I was excited just now at home, but I couldn't read it because of the dark sky. Now I have time to read this book carefully and finally found the ancient recipe I needed in it.

The song reads:

The frost has been transformed into the clear source for thousands of years, and half of the lotus is still reflected in front of the pond.

The flowers bloom and withered in the summer, and the doubts in the heart are revealed.

Appreciation does not require any chastity, but who can share the five flavors in your heart?

...

While watching, I silently recited the medicines mentioned in this ancient prescription - Wanneng, Half-branch lotus, Summer Deer Grass, Cassia seed, Ligustrum, Schisandra chinensis...

At this time, I heard the sound of putting down the bowls and chopsticks outside, and then another sound of water.

The bead curtain separated from inside and outside was moved, and it was rustling. I raised my head and saw Pei Yuanhao walking in from outside while wiping his hands. There was a gloomy look on his face, but I thought he could understand it himself, so he no longer got involved in the matter just now, but got up and saluted: "Your Majesty."

"You just said that there is one thing you want to return to me, what's the matter."

"It's today that the young ladies leave the palace."

The chill on his face became even more intense, and he said coldly: "I promised you to come and go freely. Today, you can see it?"

"His Majesty the Emperor's words are all the same as the sacred."

"snort."

He was still angry, but he knew that he had no room for anger, so he looked at me with the corner of his eyes: "Why are you going back today?"

“There are guests at home.”

"You are in the capital, and you will have guests?"

"A person must have one or two friends."

He seemed to sneer again and said, "But why did I hear that that person came to Beijing through the night and went to Beijing without even taking a break, so he went straight to your mansion. What friend, what an urgent matter, let him do this?"

I was not surprised that he would know clearly and said calmly: "Xichuan's friend, for an important matter."

"Xichuan..."

He slowly turned around and looked at me, his eyes also with the hot candlelight, and said burningly: "Do you know what the people in the court are now towards Xichuan, and you are still blatantly interacting with the people in Xichuan?"

"The young woman herself is from Xichuan. If she really wants to talk about contact, then-"

I looked up at him.

Pei Yuanhao frowned, realized something, and let out a heavy sigh.

Then he asked, "What's the matter?"

I closed the book in my hand and gently presented it to him: "It's for this."

He looked down and his tense face changed his face: "This-"

In the book, the three words "The Magic Effect Collection" were clearly reflected in his eyes, but at this moment he seemed to be unable to believe his eyes. It was probably the same as when I just got this book. I felt a little timid, but I couldn't believe it anymore.

I said calmly: "Since Miaoyan got that disease, the young lady has been asking people to help find this book. Although the hope is slim, there is still a glimmer of hope. This time, hard work is finally rewarded."

"The Collection of Magical Effects..." He gasped slightly, his breath was also hot, and his eyes were still moving: "Is this the book you said before, can heal Miaoyan?"

"Miaoyan's disease requires an ancient prescription in this book, but it does not mean that it can be completely cured with this book," I looked at him calmly, but my breath was also a little fluctuating: "After Yao Lao took Miaoyan's pulse, he said that those suffering from severe illness should be given decoctions to attract souls, which may be cured. Decoctions are naturally the ancient prescriptions in this book, and the souls are attracted..."

I looked up at him.

Sure enough, Pei Yuanhao's eyes flashed.

I continued, "Your Majesty said before, someone around you knows how to conquer the soul, then-"

“…”

This time, he was obviously silent.

However, soon, he said, "The person who knows how to practice the method of summoning souls is indeed by my side."

I didn't say much, just said, "Then, please arrange it for your Majesty."

"Yeah, I'll arrange it."

"That would be better."

"This book-" He looked down and looked at it: "You can leave it first. After I have arranged it, we will use it together for Miaoyan."

"yes."

After saying this, he glanced at me again.

Although the incident in front of him was enough for him as a father and as a mother, I felt that there was still a gloomy in his eyes, or in other words, some of his anger had not faded, but he didn't say anything else. After taking a look at me, he turned around and left.

I took him to the door, and when he left the door, I felt relieved. I turned around and saw Madam Wu washing Miaoyan's hands, wiped the gaps in her fingers, and then raised her head to look at me.

She seemed to want to speak but stopped.

I said, "Madam, I'm a little hungry. Go and ask them to make me a bowl of noodles."

When Madam Wu heard this, her brows frowned: "Girl, why are you doing this?"

I smiled faintly.

She said again: "Not to mention what the emperor is thinking, it's not good if you are hungry for yourself like this."

I smiled and looked at Miaoyan who was sitting there, listened to the sound of the wind and snow outside, and said calmly: "I just don't want to give people some illusions."

“…”

"Sometimes, illusions are very deceptive."

“…”

"But sometimes, illusions cannot deceive others, but they will deceive themselves; when they believe it deeply, others will be guilty of refusing to believe in illusions."

“…”

"He is a man with the power to convict people, and I don't want to go that way."

Madam Wu stared at me in a daze: "Girl..."

I turned around, looked at the gradually fading and disappearing back outside, and recalled the scene I saw under the candlelight when I just pushed open the door-

That is indeed what I had expected.

That is indeed a beautiful illusion...

The next day, I was a little idle.

Once Nianshen left, it was not appropriate for me to go to Chang Qing's place again; and when Jabixing entered Beijing, I originally had a lot to say to him, even if I had nothing to say, it would be good to talk about the recent customs and customs of Shu. But now in this palace, it would not be so easy to see the guests in my house again.

There was nothing I could do, so I spread out the book "The Collection of Miraculous Effects" and started copying it.

After all, it is a lonely book that I finally got back. Although Xichuan has already taken out one, it must have been copied and backed up, it is not a bad thing for me to copy another one.

But as I was writing, I felt a little strange when I saw the words on it.

When I read it yesterday, I didn’t think that Xiao Yusheng’s words were thin, fresh and graceful, just like him, but a few words seemed a bit crooked, but now it seems that many words are almost the same, but his brushwork is stable, so the overall look is fine. When I look closely, I feel a little strange.

As I was looking around, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps outside. When I walked to my door, I almost knocked on my door. With a clang, the man stopped and started knocking on the door.

The knock on the door also seemed very rapid.

I didn't know what happened, Su Su hurriedly went over and opened the door, and saw a little eunuch with snow on her head. As soon as she walked in and saw me, she hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Ms. Yan."

"What's the matter?" I saw him rushing, and his expression was not right.

"What happened!"
To be continued...
