After she sat down, she met my eyes and looked at her bandaged hands. For some reason, I felt a little red on her face, but before I could take a closer look, I immediately turned my head and put my hand under the table as if it was covered, and then reached over to grab the tea cup on the table with the other hand.

I hurriedly said, "I'll do it."

I poured her a cup of hot tea and brought it to her, but after all, I had to pick it up and drink it myself. She unconsciously raised her right hand. Only then did I see clearly that it was not the doctor who treated her with a bandage, but it was just a handkerchief that was finely bandaged.

Thinking back to the fact that she had just been staying in Pei Yuanhao's study, I immediately understood.

I breathed a sigh of relief too.

So, I relaxed and said, "Empress, the emperor hasn't blamed you, right?"

She took a sip of tea herself and said, "The Emperor is still angry... I also know that as a queen, you should not be so willful and arbitrary. The Emperor asked me to keep my mistakes in the room these days."

"ah?"

I thought that since the emperor had personally bandaged the wound on her hand, no matter how angry he was, he was limited, but unexpectedly, he still punished Chang Qing and had to think about his mistakes behind closed doors these days!

I said, "But, the Empress went to the West City Gate for the sake of the Emperor."

"No matter what the reason is, it is indeed wrong for me to do this." She lowered her head and said very gentlely: "Before I went, I knew that I shouldn't do this, but I thought that it did not cause chaos, and the people of the Xicheng Gate retreated, so the emperor did not get too angry - in fact, the emperor asked me to think about my mistakes behind closed doors, which was already very tolerant."

“…”

I didn't say anything.

Indeed, according to the situation in the palace in the past, if Chang Qing had taken the initiative to go to the people to speak like that and do things like that, I was afraid that Pei Yuanhao would really destroy her. Even if she did not, such a move would be difficult to set an example for the Six Palaces.

Just thinking about your mistakes behind closed doors is indeed very tolerant.

I looked at the handkerchief bandaged on her hand again, and I understood Pei Yuanhao's psychology.

After a moment of silence, I said softly: "I just feel wronged by the Queen."

She immediately smiled and said, "If you have any grievances, you should accept punishment if you do something wrong. I also understand that if everyone acts indiscriminately with the reason of "for the Emperor", wouldn't the world be in chaos? Besides, as the lord of the six palaces, I know the consequences of the harem's interference in politics, and I should not commit it knowingly. In fact, this time, even if the emperor does not come to me, I will go to the emperor to apologize after I come back."

I lowered my head and whispered, "If this is the case, then I am guilty."

Chang Qing looked at me and smiled gently, "Don't be stupid."

“…”

"Until now, you can still accompany me around, and I am very grateful to you."

"The Queen must not say that!"

Knowing that she was really nothing, I completely let go, and Chang Qing didn't hide her hand anymore. She just looked at the food that had hardly moved on the table and said, "Why, haven't eaten yet?"

"Uh, I'm not hungry."

"I've been busy for so long, how could I not be hungry? I'm all hungry."

When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "Then I'll let them deliver hot meals."

"Okay, you can use it with me."

I nodded, Xing'er just happened to come in, we ordered her, and she moved very quickly. After a while, she took the people to remove the cold food and put on steaming food.

Chang Qing and I picked up the bowl. Just as she was about to eat, she suddenly said, "By the way, I have told the emperor about what you ordered."

I nodded calmly.

Of course, it is impossible to hide this matter from Pei Yuanhao. Besides, the specific result must be informed to help defend the city.

However, just as I was picking up a piece of meat and preparing to put it in my mouth, Eunuch Yu came again.

"Miss Yan, the emperor is welcome."

Suddenly, Chang Qing and I stopped.

Chang Qing was not surprised, but her brows were still slightly frowning, and she looked up at me. After thinking about it, she could only put down her chopsticks, accused her of guilt and was about to go out. Chang Qing thought about it, but she still came forward and ordered: "Master Yu."

Eunuch Yu hurriedly bowed his head and said, "What else do you have to do with the Empress?"

Chang Qing whispered: "If the emperor is still angry, please help Yuanyuan."

Eunuch Yu turned his head and looked at me, then looked at Chang Qing, and sighed silently: "Don't worry about Empress."

After saying that, he took me away.

I had never felt hungry before, so I didn't feel anything about the food at the table. But I felt hungry just now, and the food was about to be imported but I was called away. The feeling of hunger suddenly increased several times. I followed Eunuch Yu a little dizzy and wandered around the backyard of the official office for a long time. Finally, I arrived outside the study and saw Zhang Ziyu and several officials coming out of the inside. When I saw me, I nodded and left.

Eunuch Yu walked in and reported, then came out and said, "Miss Yan, go in."

I lifted my foot and walked in.

The atmosphere in the study room was much easier than the time I had been there before. There was no broken thing on the ground, and the document books on the table were neatly arranged. Only Pei Yuanhao supported his forehead with one hand and kneaded his temples on both sides. Although he could not see the expression on his face, he could feel his breath was not smooth.

I walked over and said softly: "Men's daughter pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

He immediately put down his hand and looked up at me.

It really feels right.

His eyes were red, not sure if they were angry or because they hadn't been asleep last night. When he looked at me, his eyes seemed to be glaring. I only looked at him for a moment and immediately lowered my head, but I still heard him say coldly: "You are so brave!"

“…”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "If you don't speak, why are you not convinced?"

"No."

"You don't have to pretend to be like this in front of me. I have a person around me, and it's already a mess that I like to take action. Now, you are still instigating the queen to be like you. What do you two want? Is the world in chaos?"

I lowered my head and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the city have retreated, and there is no chaos in the city."

“…”

"It's messy, it's outside."

His breath was heavy, and he probably hadn't been angry, but the two words I made at ease made him feel nowhere to speak. He glared at me for a long time before snorting coldly: "You are so proud!"

“…”

I lowered my head and stopped talking.

The two of them seemed to confront each other and quietly passed in this study for a long time. His tone finally eased a little, and with a little bit of anger that he still had not yet subsided, he said bluntly: "The Queen said, have you sent someone to follow those who maliciously incite in the central government of the people?"

I said, "Although it's not certain that these people are really uneasy about the war, they are still inciting them in the city secretly. However, the civilians have to follow and see first. If they can find the whereabouts of those people, that's the best."

He squinted his eyes at me: "Are you sure there are such people in the city?"

"The Emperor received the military newspapers that besieged Linfen several times yesterday, but today it has been known to everyone in the city. If no one interferes with it, the news would not have been spread so quickly; even if the news spreads so quickly, it would not have been possible that so many ordinary people would have gathered at the Xicheng Gate in just a few hours. I think, just like spreading that song, there must be some people in the city spreading some rumors that are unfavorable to the government. Before the three armies arrived in Linfen, the people and officers and soldiers would be allowed to strife in civil unrest, so that Linfen City would be destroyed without attacking."

"...Do you think the people who sang that song were the same people who spread rumors in the city?"

“…”

I didn't say anything.

In fact, this is exactly my suspicion.

But Pei Yuanhao has always been suspicious of Liu Qinghan because from his perspective, the singing of that song made Liu Qinghan first have the voice of the people, and then spread rumors in the city, which has the hope of the people. There are all the opinions of the people. So some things will probably not be too difficult to do.

However, Pei Yuanhao and I are in a different direction.

I thought for a while and said, "It's too early to guess now. When Zhesheng and the others get the news, we will know the truth after we catch those people."

He seemed to sneer, but there was no smile in his pupils, only deep black, and slowly said: "I also want to know the truth."

I looked up at him and didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Get up."

I stood up silently, but after all, I was so hungry that I fell down as soon as I stood up.

I was so scared that I almost screamed. I reached out to me and grabbed my arm with a hand and dragged me up.

I was shocked and sweated all over. I was still a little overwhelmed. When I looked up, I saw Pei Yuanhao frowning and looking down at me.

"What's wrong with you?"

“…”

"Injured?"

As he said that, he pulled me hard to him, looked at my hand back, and stretched out his hand to pull my sleeve upwards. There was nothing on his snow-white arm. He confirmed that I was not injured, and then reached out to catch my other hand. I finally came to my senses and hurriedly retracted my hand: "Your Majesty!"

Seeing my alert look, his hand reached in the air and watched me take two steps back one after another, as if he was frightened by a frightened little animal. His hands froze for a moment, but he slowly let go.

His voice was a little stiff, as if he had softened a little deliberately.

"What's wrong?"

“…”

"Where did you hurt?"

Seeing him like this, I relaxed a little and said, "I'm fine."

"Why is this happening if it's okay?"

“…”

"Your face-"
