Pei Yuanhao stroked the jade hanging on his wrist with one hand, and said slowly: "Don't talk about you, even I am a little surprised."

“…”

"What is this Nan Zhenyi's attitude?"

“…”

"Or what does he want from me?"

“…”

Qinghan and I looked at each other again.

Pei Yuanhao's eyes were indeed sharp. He could see at a glance that Nan Zhenyi's approach was to negotiate terms with him.

But no one knows what he wants.

All three of them fell silent. After a while, I whispered: "Anyway, we have to go to Xichuan, find him, and figure out this matter."

Pei Yuanhao looked up at us and said, "Okay."

“…”

"If you two have nothing else, then you will set off tomorrow."

Although it was a bit rushed to set off tomorrow, after all, we have just returned to the imperial tomb today, when it comes to the current situation, we all want to grow wings and fly to Xichuan the next moment. So when he said this, I immediately nodded and agreed.

However, Qinghan looked up at him: "Your Majesty will not go on the road with us?"

I turned my head to look at him, and then came to my senses. What Pei Yuanhao just said was "you".

He won't go with us?

Pei Yuanhao nodded: "I have other things to do."

"Can you ask me, what's the matter?"

“…”

From Pei Yuanhao's tone just now, he knew that he didn't want to say it, but Qinghan's questioning did not make him angry. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will not go there for too long after this matter is discussed later. I will soon go to Xichuan to meet you."

“…”

"Okay, everyone is very tired along the way. Let's go back and rest. We will prepare to set off early tomorrow morning."

“…”

I wanted to say something, but when I saw a little fatigue in Pei Yuanhao's eyes, I couldn't speak, Qinghan didn't ask any more questions and retreated with me.

After leaving his study, it was already evening. Outside the afterglow of the sunset, you could see the deep twilight beginning to surround the palace. Soon, the night was about to enter.

Qinghan and I walked back all the way, both of us were silent and without saying anything. Of course, my mind was a mess. Suddenly, there were so many things in front of me, Longxi Army, Iron Cavalry King, and Nan Zhenyi, but none of these things could be solved. Yu Wenying refused to talk about the problem of Longxi Army, Pei Yuanhao kept silent, Xie Feng was unconscious; while the Iron Cavalry King, although he was both an enemy and a friend, his attitude was still unclear, Miaoyan and Nangong Lizhu were still in his hands; Nan Zhenyi suddenly changed his attitude. Although I knew that he would not be enemies with Qinghan and me, he had to figure out his affairs and wait until we returned to Xichuan.

All of this is faced in front of you, but it cannot be solved immediately, and it is inevitable that people will feel a strong sense of powerlessness.

Pei Yuanhao seemed to have some thoughts that he didn't intend to tell us, and this made the upset in his heart even more.

Turning his head to look at Qinghan, his eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about what had just happened.

When I was about to reach his residence, I said to him, "Don't worry too much."

"Um?"

He turned his head to look at me, and I reached out and rubbed his eyebrows with my index finger. The few hanging needle patterns had gradually become shapes on his eyebrows. Sometimes even if he didn't frown, it would give people a feeling of frowning. I whispered: "You are too worried and are not good for your health. You won't forget that you are still a patient."

He laughed and said, "Of course not."

“…”

"My life is precious. I'm just thinking-"

"What do you think?"

“…”

He was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at me and said, "Qingying, you said that your mother hid those batches of Folang cannons, and later spent so much money to let the Iron-Face King go to sea and destroy those cannons in the Folang Kingdom. Is this right or wrong?"

“…?”

I was a little surprised, why did he suddenly ask about this?

What we were worried about just now was that it wasn’t that Nan Zhenyi’s sudden change in attitude, and why did Pei Yuanhao’s next itinerary suddenly change to my mother and the Folang machine cannon?

and--

I looked at him in surprise: "Of course it's right."

“…”

"When we went to the Dulaiguan together, Uncle Gui said it very clearly. The Folang machine cannon is a powerful weapon for killing people. If such things remain in the world, besides killing people, what other functions do you have?"

“…”

"How many bloody killings did my mother avoid in the beginning when she did this? This is a great merit."

“…”

"So, of course she did this right."

“…”

"Do you think she did something wrong?"

I said a long list without any breath, but Qinghan quietly said a word. When I finished speaking, he looked at it for a while and shook his head: "No."

"Then why did you ask that?"

"..." He thought about it again and said, "I just thought of it suddenly, so I asked you."

Speaking of this, he chuckled and said, "When he was in Xichuan, he heard people talk about Mrs. Yan's former name, saying that she was a Bodhisattva. Now, I think that only a Bodhisattva's heart like her can do such a thing."

I felt relieved when I heard him say this, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, I really have to go back and rest. I'm a little tired after leaving these days."

"Then you go back soon, I'm going to rest, after all, I'm going to set off tomorrow."

"Um."

After saying goodbye to him, I turned around and left. After walking for a while, I felt a little hesitant for some reason. I turned around and saw that he had already walked to the door. It seemed that I had paused for a while before slowly pushing open the door and walking in.

No words all night.

The next day, everyone was almost ready and set off at noon and left the imperial tomb.

Although Pei Yuanhao did not go with us, he also set out together. However, Wei Ning was not with us. He decided to stay in the imperial tomb to protect the tomb of the concubine. Qinghan and I went to persuade him, but he had decided, so we no longer forced him.

However, before leaving, I saw two servants carrying the unconscious Xie Feng out on a stretcher, but went to Pei Yuanhao's team.

He wants to take Xie Feng away?

Could it be that he didn't plan to take Xie Feng back to Xi'an Prefecture for detention?
