I hurriedly reached out to help her caress her chest and calmed down: "Old lady, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

She smiled faintly, and there was a lot of haggardness in her smile. She looked at me: "Where are you?"

I also smiled faintly: "I'm fine, too."

After she looked at me for a while, the haggardness and weakness on her face became more obvious. When she left Cangzhou, she heard Mrs. Song say that she was sick. Now it seems that she is not completely pretending to be sick. She sighed in a low voice and said, "I have wanted to come to the capital for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would be like this-" She said, looking up at me: "Miss Yan, His Majesty the Emperor, has he really left?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I nodded gently.

"Then he is safe?"

I thought about it and said, "He left, it was already arranged, and it should be safe. There was no greater war in the capital. He should be protected by a large army. For the time being, there will be no danger."

When Old Mrs. Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard me say this.

But between her eyebrows, she still felt a little disappointed and couldn't hide her disappointment. She murmured, "Why do you want to escape?"

When I heard her say this, I smiled bitterly.

In fact, it is not only her, but also too many people. I don’t even doubt that I left with Pei Yuanhao. Even Chang Qing must be disappointed. People are bloody. Even such an elderly person, even a weak woman, will have the courage to resist when she is forced into a desperate situation.

However, this is the ordinary people.

But Pei Yuanhao is an emperor, and what he considers is not a matter of fighting for his life. He should be very clear that his victory or defeat is unknown when he confronts Pei Yuanxiu.

But with Sheng Jing's troops, he only lost but not won.

I sighed and said softly: "Maybe, His Majesty the Emperor has his own considerations..."

"Although I have considered it, how can I give up the throne like this!"

"Old lady...you know too, Pei Yuanxiu is ready to ascend the throne."

"Of course I know," she said, showing a heartbroken expression, shook her head and said, "My son, they rushed into the capital for this matter. You probably don't know yet that the Cui family has been destroyed and almost all the property has been sent to the capital."

“…”

I shouldn't be surprised by this.

When the Cui family was destroyed, the Song family completely gained a foothold in front of Pei Yuanxiu. Moreover, since they entered Beijing, Pei Yuanxiu was the first to discuss things. It can be seen that he completely believed them. This is naturally a good thing. I have always hoped to protect Old Lady Zhang and Song Xuan. No matter what other things are, Old Lady Zhang should not be implicated; and Song Xuan, I just hope that he can be safe and never have any dangers again.

As for the Cui family's house being searched... Now, Pei Yuanxiu is short of money.

Xie Houqi pressed forward step by step, and copying several big families can be considered as a way to temporarily relieve the urgent need in front of him.

Hearing me say this, Old Mrs. Zhang looked out the window and confirmed that there was no figure close to me. She leaned into my ear and lowered her voice and said, "I heard from my son that now, they are selling official positions."

"What?"

I was shocked and looked at her with wide eyes.

Old Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Look at how many people have come to Beijing recently, I find it strange that these people didn't sound before. Now that the battle has just finished, there shouldn't be so many people rushing into the capital, but so many people came, and on the way, I saw many people coming with their homes. When I heard my son and Mi'er talk about it, I realized that they came to Beijing, waiting to watch the ceremony, and secondly, they were just to find a job. I heard that some price tags are already marked."

“…”

I immediately frowned.

I was wondering before that, besides Song Huaiyi and others who had joined Pei Yuanxiu's command when Pei Yuanxiu was uprising and helped him fight, there were so many people who had not expressed their attitude in the war and had just watched the change. Now that Pei Yuanxiu has occupied the capital, even if the situation is clear, they have to express their position.

And, buying an official...

First, they are expressing their position, and second, they are short of money now, and such a large amount of income is like raining in time!

That day, Xie Houqi said that he had thought of a way, was it this way?

I couldn't help but frown.

Selling official positions and titles is indeed a corruption of the Central Plains dynasty. In addition, the dynasty has changed now, and the emperor and the minister have too many vacancies and ranks to wait for. But as a grassland prince, Xie Houqi didn't even understand "there is a beauty in the book and a golden house in the book", so how could he know how to buy and sell official positions?

The way he thought should be more direct and rude than this.

But no matter what, this incident has already happened. When Pei Yuanxiu officially ascended the throne, he could issue an edict to the whole country, so that the sold officials can officially take office. At that time, these people will probably become a group of country borers again.

I sighed and shook my head.

Old Mrs. Zhang looked at me and said softly: "Miss Yan, it is not a long-term solution for you to stay here. Since His Majesty the Emperor has left the capital, you should also find a way to leave as soon as possible. But--"

She looked at my stomach.

Obviously, although I was not a big belly, she had known about pregnancy for a long time, and probably had been considering it for a long time.

I was silent for a moment and said, "I have my own plans for this."

Old Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Miss Yan is a sensible person. If you have plans, you won't worry."

“…”

"I'm old now, I'm only worried about one person."

“…!”

My heart moved slightly, I raised my head to look at her, and when I saw her gaze also seemed a little solemn, and I said three words softly - "The Supreme Emperor."

I lowered my voice: "Do you know, too?"

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at her, and Old Lady Zhang said carefully: "When Xuan'er came back, she only told me. Don't worry, even if she was dreaming and talking, she would not tell you about this."

“…”

By the way, Song Xuan knew the cause and effect of this matter, and he would not hide the best grandmother to him, so I said softly: "This matter is of great importance, and the old lady must be cautious. The matter of the Supreme Emperor... Pei Yuanxiu was very close to me, and even I couldn't mention this person in the palace, so I think he would not do anything to the Supreme Emperor for the time being, but he would not let him go like that."

Old Mrs. Zhang looked at me: "The Supreme Emperor, there will be no danger, right?"

I thought about it and said, "It should be, it should not be."

Pei Yuanxiu did not take action because of his anger the night when Chongyun Pavilion was destroyed. Now he calmed down, he should not be able to do so. And I remembered the sentence I saw when I opened a daily note in Jixian Palace - born with a strange phenomenon, there are three emperor stars.

In the past ten years, the Supreme Emperor Pei Ji abdicated the other palaces, but he did not really abdicate. The existence of him and Pei Yuanhao is the double-end of the Emperor Star. Now, Pei Yuanxiu is ready to ascend the throne. It seems that he is the third Emperor Star. Since that is the case, then the people in the Imperial Heaven Supervision were not wrong. It is true that there are three Emperor Stars, and the three of them exist at the same time.

In other words, Pei Ji should be fine for the time being, at least before Pei Yuanxiu ascended the throne and became emperor.

But after that...it's hard to say.

I murmured, "The trouble is that I don't even know where he is locked up."

Looking at my sad face, Old Lady Zhang said softly: "Ms. Yan, don't worry too much. Although she is old and weak, she still knows some people in the capital. Even if she is useless, Xuan'er... Whether it is the Supreme Emperor's affairs or Miss Yan's affairs, he can go through fire and water."

I hurriedly said, "Old Lady, don't have this kind of thought. The old Lady is old and should enjoy her old age. Now these things make you upset day and night, it's wrong for us. As for Mr. Song, he is a good person and a promising young man. I believe his future is limitless. Although I have come to this point, I am not yet desperate... But no matter what, I don't want anyone to be hurt for me anymore, especially you and Mr. Song. Please don't take risks easily!"

As I said that, the situation that Yan Wuyou wanted to die in front of me appeared in front of me that day.

I couldn't help but choked up a little, and I said softly: "I, I can't see the people I care about anymore and leave me."
