I tried my best to think about it, but too many things happened that night, and my mind was very confused. I didn’t pay attention to what else was painted in the painting.

So I shook my head.

Pei Yuanhao smiled and said: "That painting is not about this palace."

Yang Yunhui immediately asked: "Where is that place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao's eyes flashed towards the door. He understood immediately and did not ask any more questions. When I raised my head to look at him, he had already said: "The palace knows about that place."

There are not even two people, but you still have to be careful and never let anyone know."

"Yes."

"Since they have to take over the protection of the nine gates now, transfer all your people here. The matter of finding Yuxi must be foolproof. When all the people and horses are here, I will tell you where they are."

"Okay, Third Brother, I understand."

Yang Yunhui clasped his fists and nodded, then turned around and walked out. But I still had doubts in my heart. As soon as he opened the curtain and walked out, I lowered my voice and asked Pei Yuanhao cautiously: "Your Highness."

"Huh?"

"As for that person from Shangyang Palace, aren't you going to get rid of him for the time being?"

Even Huang Tianba spoke up. This person has reached the point where he must be eliminated. I have just made my words very clear, but Pei Yuanhao just listened and asked Yang Yunhui to go find Yuxi. He only wanted to know about this person.

Not a word mentioned.

Pei Yuanhao turned to look at me and showed an unpredictable smile.

I was stunned. At this moment, Yang Yunhui had already opened the door and walked out. After taking only two steps, he said: "Mrs. Yingxue?"

"Master Yang, it's been a long time, are you discussing things with His Highness again?"

Yao Yingxue was outside the door? As soon as Pei Yuanhao heard her voice, he immediately got up and walked out. I followed to the door and saw Yang Yunhui standing under the steps, and Yao Yingxue was standing in front of him holding a food box.

, Pei Yuanhao said: "Yingxue, everything is ready?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Yao Yingxue smiled and said to Yang Yunhui: "This is the supplement His Highness ordered to make in the morning. Since Mr. Yang is here, why not stay and use it together."

"No, thank you, madam."

Yang Yunhui smiled and saluted her, then turned and walked away.

Yao Yingxue walked up, and I hurriedly stepped forward to take the things from her hands and put them on the table. Seeing that she had already sat at the table, I was about to leave, but before she could open her mouth, I saw Yao Yingxue suddenly covering her mouth and shouting.

He retched.

Pei Yuanhao hurriedly walked over and held her shoulders: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay." Yao Yingxue said, but she retched several times in succession, her eyes were red, and she said apologetically: "Your Highness, I have reacted very badly in the past two days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with Your Highness. How about that?

, let Qingying serve His Highness."

Pei Yuanhao looked at her with concern: "Would you like the imperial doctor to come and take a look again?"

"No, no need. Wen Po also said that this is the time when there are many reactions. In order not to disturb His Highness's meal, I will leave first." After she finished speaking gently, she said to me: "Qingying, be well.

Serve His Highness."

"Yes..."

I nodded and watched her slowly walk out of the dormitory, until her back disappeared, and then she started serving dishes. Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, just sat there, waiting for me to bring a bowl of medicinal food in front of him.

I lowered my head and glanced at my hands. Because I wasn't paying attention, the purple and blue marks on my wrists were exposed again.

I subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he already said: "Okay, you can sit down and eat something."

"Slave..."

"Don't tell me what I don't dare to do," he sneered and glanced at me: "You have already come to me to question me, so what else do you dare not do?"

……

I pursed my lips and didn't answer. After giving him the bowl of medicinal food, I held it for him all night, eating it in small bites.

This herbal meal took some effort to prepare, and it tastes sweet in the mouth. After eating it, there is also some warmth inside. Even in such weather, my fingertips feel warm.

But before they finished eating, someone from the palace came to send a message, saying that Queen Yin summoned several highnesses to the palace.

When Pei Yuanhao heard the news, he was not surprised. He put down the bowl and said to me: "You come with me."

In fact, I really want to go. For no other reason than that, I really want to take a closer look at the painting in Yonghe Palace. Besides the osmanthus, what else is painted on it.

So I freshened up for a while, and then followed Pei Yuanhao into the palace. However, this time the carriage was ordered to stop when it entered the palace gate. I heard the driver of the car say impatiently: "This is the carriage of His Highness the Third Prince."

, you dare to stop me?!"

"I'm sorry, we are taking office for the first time today, and we don't know whose driver it is. Please see His Highness."

So quickly, the people in Jiumen had changed. I was sitting in the carriage, listening to their careless words, and my heart sank. But Pei Yuanhao seemed to have lost his temper. He just stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and the people outside

When I saw him, I still saluted respectfully: "I have met His Highness the Third Highness!"

"I've seen you. Can I enter the palace now?"

"Your Highness, did you only bring this person with you?" The leader was still a little unconvinced and looked behind the carriage again, but this time Pei Yuanhao indeed brought only me, not even Yang Yunhui.

Follow.

Pei Yuanhao sneered: "Why, do you want to meet the people from the Forbidden Army?"

Those people did not dare to answer and hurriedly knelt down.

Pei Yuanhao put down the curtain and said coldly: "Let's go."

The carriage swayed into the imperial city again, but I also vaguely felt that when the nine gates were completely out of control, the entire imperial city was no longer safe for us. The danger could come from anywhere, maybe

It’s the Nine Gates, maybe—it’s the palace!

Cold sweat broke out in my palms, and I could only hold the corners of my skirt tightly. At this moment, I heard Pei Yuanhao's deep voice from the carriage——

"Don't be afraid."

As soon as I looked up, I saw him slowly opening his eyes and looking at me. Although the car and us were shaking, those eyes were as steady as a rock.

My heart seemed to have calmed down, I bit my lower lip and nodded to him.

After a while, we got off the carriage and entered the inner palace. After walking along the corridor for a while, we smelled the lingering fragrance of medicine in Yonghe Palace. I have been looking after expectations in Prince Yun’s Mansion for the past two days, but I didn’t know that the emperor

How's the dragon body doing?

It's not quiet here. The chamberlain has already arranged for people to come over. When they saw Pei Yuanhao, they all fell down.

"Where's the Queen?"

"I am waiting for His Highness in the Yonghe Palace with His Highness the Crown Prince, King Yun, and the three princes."

"Oh?" I'm a little surprised that there are so many people.

Pei Yuanhao paused, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, smiled, and then took me into Yonghe Palace.

As soon as I entered the gate, it was still as warm as usual, and the air was still filled with the fragrance of medicine. As soon as I entered the gate and turned around to look inside, I saw Queen Yin turning around and walking towards us.

Just now... she seemed to be standing next to the bead curtain, in front of the painting.

Before I had time to think about it, Pei Yuanhao had already leaned over to greet her, and I also knelt down and said, "My slave, I pay my respects to the Queen."

"Your Highness, you are here."

"I wonder what the important thing is for my mother to summon her sons and ministers to the palace?"

As they were talking, the bead curtain rang softly, and Pei Yuanxiu and Pei Yuanchen also walked out, and the three princes in the court - Taishi Chang Yanbai, Taifu Shen Gongyou and Prince Taibao Wang Shi also stood up.

Queen Yin's eyes were red and stained with tears. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Last night, the emperor vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood and asked the imperial doctor to see him. He said that he was afraid that the disease could not be treated well."

Pei Yuanhao's face darkened: "Oh?"

He immediately walked in, and I followed him. As soon as I walked to the bed, I saw the emperor lying on the bed, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and there were two lumps around his eyes.

Looking at it from a distance, it looked like a skeleton. I was so scared that my heart jumped.

The emperor's health is really worse than before, and he looks like he has passed away.

Pei Yuanhao frowned: "Isn't it fine the day before yesterday? Why today -"

"The imperial doctor also said that no matter how good it is, it will still be like that."

"Where's the medicine?"

“I’ve been eating it, and now I rely on drinking ginseng soup.”

As Queen Yin spoke, she couldn't stop sobbing again. She lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. Pei Yuanxiu stood beside her and gently persuaded her. However, he was also pale and his eyes were slightly red. He looked at me At one glance, he saw me looking at him, and nodded slightly, as if he wanted to say something to me, but didn't say anything.

Pei Yuanhao also looked back at them and said, "If this is the case, why did the Queen Mother summon her children and ministers to the palace?"

"Let everyone think of a solution, now——"

"The imperial court is in chaos now." Before Queen Yin could finish her words, Taibao Wang Shi had already walked over: "Your Highness has not been to the imperial study room in the past two days, and has not seen the pile of papers over there; Jiangnan Although the plague has been eliminated, the state government still needs to dispatch new officials; the chieftains of Xichuan are making trouble again; the winter flood of the Yellow River is coming again. If these things continue to pile up like this, I am afraid that the palace will not be in chaos, but the world will be in chaos. ”

He finished speaking in one breath. Chang Yanbai just stroked his beard beside him and said nothing. However, Shen Gongyou glanced at him and then looked over.

Pei Yuanhao smiled and walked forward: "Then what Mr. Wang means-"

"A country cannot live without a king for a day!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Yonghe Palace fell silent. Queen Yin's eyes turned redder, but the redness was not the eye circles, but the radiant pupils.

Pei Yuanhao glanced at him and sneered: "Now, isn't there a prince overseeing the country?"

When he said this, Pei Yuanhao looked back. Pei Yuanxiu just stood there silently, his face still pale, showing neither sadness nor joy.

I seem to have never seen these two emotions on his face.

"The prince overseeing the country will have a lot of inconveniences after all. If this continues-"
