Chapter 1861 Pei Yuanxiu is about to ascend the throne(1/2)
I said, "Please don't let people enter this place easily, and don't let people move the things inside."
He looked into my eyes and said, "Why?"
Why? Because it is all Fu Badai's efforts.
Last time, Liu Qinghan burned Jixian Hall, which made him so angry that he said the curse of "I will not die well". You can imagine how much that incident hit him, especially the only disciple he personally took to his disciple. I can imagine how heartbreaking he felt. Now, in order to record the ancient books that were destroyed in the fire, he turned white. I don't know how many he took away, but I know that there are so many books in Jixian Hall that cannot be taken away completely.
These are more important than the fate of the dynasty.
I said softly: "The things in it are so important, I don't want anyone to come in and touch it."
His breathing suddenly sank.
I raised my head and was about to say something, but I saw that he didn't wait for me to say something, and turned around and walked forward.
I was a little stunned for a moment, especially looking at his back, I felt a stubbornness that could not resist and argue, which left me with no room for speech and could only follow him slowly and walk back to the bedroom.
The door was closed behind him.
I didn't look back, but when I heard the heavy breath, I knew that he did not leave, but stood at the door.
His heart seemed to be in chaos.
But this is not what I want to care about now. I have been out for so long and met so many people. After hearing so many things, I was very tired, so I didn't look back and slowly walked towards the inner room. I lifted the bead curtain that was shining brightly by the light, and just walked in one step when I heard him say, "Why don't you speak?"
My steps didn't stop, and I continued to walk forward slowly: "What do you want me to say?"
Hearing my words, he stopped himself.
I have already made it clear about Jixian Palace just now. He and I walked back without saying a word along the way. If I were to ask me to say anything, I really don’t know, and his question seems too abrupt.
But his tone seemed to be taken for granted, what should I say at this time.
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Are he still alive?"
I was caught off guard when I heard this question and even suffocated my breathing
Gripping his teeth, I said, "Of course he is still alive!"
He said behind him, "But no one can survive after being poisoned."
This sentence was like a red-burned needle, piercing hard into my chest, and completely piercing the calm that I could support on the surface. I suddenly turned my head and looked at him through a layer of swaying bead curtains. Both of them looked a little flickering, but none of them took a step forward.
"He has met many vicious people and many miserable things in his life, but he has always lived well and has never bowed his head to fate."
I said word by word: "He must be alive!"
Pei Yuanxiu's eyes flashed suddenly, and then he became dizzy.
He looked at me calmly for a while, and I thought he was going to say something, but he suddenly said, "You have a good rest."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and opened the door and went out.
I stood in the inner room, looking at the curtains that were constantly crackling by the gust of wind that had just been poured in when the door was opened, and felt the cold wind blowing across my cheeks, bringing a chill, and I was still a little stunned.
At that moment, I was a little out of control.
I knew it was Xie Houqi who deliberately said those words to stimulate us, but this was probably a thorn in Pei Yuanxiu's heart, and indeed, it has always been a wound in my heart.
However, when I calmed down by the wind, I couldn't help but frown.
Xie Houqi, why did you suddenly raise the cold?
Also, he just said that he had thought of a way to solve the problem between them. What is the solution?
In fact, even if Pei Yuanxiu can't control Jiangnan now and cannot hand over the taxes of the wealthy land to Shengjing, a war ended and robbed the wealth of the entire capital. Xie Houqi himself had already made enough money and was rich. He was ecstatic and knew the taste, but he didn't know what other vicious methods would be.
I can imagine that this person is cunning and vicious, and he will definitely not have any good plans. If he put his ideas on the people, the world will be even worse!

In the next two days, I didn't see Pei Yuanxiu again.
However, as the weather gradually improved and the surrounding ice and snow gradually melted, I also had the opportunity to step out of this bedroom again. Although I was under the "care of Huazhuyun Mountain", I could only walk around a few palace gates very close to each other, which was much better than before.
So, I have more time to go out and go.
It is precisely because of this that I heard much more news than before.
For example - Pei Yuanxiu handed over all the nine gates of the capital to Xie Feng.
For example - for example, the soldiers from the south were temporarily relieved.
For example, the several camps around the capital seem to have some new trends.
...
For example - Pei Yuanxiu began to summon all civil and military officials in the court to discuss some matters about ascending the throne.
When I heard the last news, I was not too surprised. After all, he had occupied the capital, and the powerful and powerful gentry in various places were his people. It was natural to ascend the throne and become emperor. Even after he officially ascends the throne, he has the formal power to issue edicts to the whole country, such as - tax increase.
During the two days when I was able to walk around in the palace, I also met Xie Houqi. Every time I saw him from afar, he would glance at me coldly, his face full of disgusting evil sneer.
I really couldn't treat this person calmly, and I knew better in my heart that Pei Yuanxiu had been entangled with him too deeply. Now Shengjing is waiting to seek benefits, and this person's appetite is not so easy to fill.
After all, the desire is unsatisfactory!
However, the only thing that surprised me was that the news came from outside said that some people from all over the country, especially some wealthy businessmen, and even some powerful gentry in some places, were also starting to enter the capital city 66.
The capital, which became somewhat deserted due to the war, finally began to gain a little popularity.
This surprised me a little.
However, the people from the Song family also entered the capital.
This is not surprising. After all, before the Battle of Cangzhou, Song Huaiyi promised Old Lady Zhang that she would return to the capital. Now that the capital has been taken down, he of course has to fulfill his promise.
But I don’t know how this old man who has been pretending to be crazy will feel when he sees the current appearance of Beijing.
On that day, Pei Yuanxiu took me out of the palace and went to the Song family to visit Mrs. Zhang.
Since I returned from Chongyun Pavilion that day, this is the first time I left the palace. The streets are still deserted. Although I can vaguely see that there are people in some private houses, the situation is unclear now, and there are no vendors on the street who dare to do business. I am even more afraid of being robbed by those who are in the army, so there are not many pedestrians.
Although it is spring and it is a good weather, the breeze blows, rolling up some hay and pieces of paper on the street, giving people a feeling of bleak autumn wind.
I just looked out and immediately put the curtain down.
Pei Yuanxiu sat upright on the other side of the carriage, closing his eyes to rest. He seemed to have already understood everything outside and was not interested in it.
The Song family's house in the capital is quite good. If it were in normal times, this place would obviously be a lively place where high-ranking officials gathered and nobles.
But now, it is so deserted that only the sound of our horse hooves are left.
The carriage was parked at the door. As soon as we got out of the car, a group of servants and maids ran out of the gate and stood on both sides. Song Huaiyi had already led Song Mi and his servants to greet him and bowed to Pei Yuanxiu: "Young Master!"
Pei Yuanxiu nodded and walked forward.
When Song Huaiyi saw me coming with him, he did not see the Han sisters in the crowd. The smile in his eyes became deeper. After a few greetings from them, Song Huaiyi leaned over and said to me, "Miss Yan, long time no see, don't be fine."
I smiled faintly: "Mr. Song, it's been a long time since I was gone."
Song Huaiyi said: "I heard from my child that I have experienced hardships and dangers along the way. Today, we are relieved to see Miss Yan safe and sound. My mother is still muttering about you."
When I heard him talk about Old Lady Zhang, I immediately said, "Is Old Lady okay?"
"Fortunately, the weather is still cold, and her legs are not very flexible and she cannot come out to greet you. Please forgive me."
Pei Yuanxiu said: "The old man's body is important. He is light. Let's go in and see her."
I originally came here to visit Mrs. Zhang. I nodded quickly when I heard him. Song Huaiyi led us in with his servants. Although the Song family's mansion in the capital is not as big as the inn in Cangzhou, and the scenery is picturesque on the mountain, it is really not small, and the scenery inside is not bad. Moreover, as soon as he entered the capital, Song Xuan probably sent someone to guard this place, so he was not robbed or attacked by others.
We also walked to the deepest yard of the mansion, where Old Lady Zhang lived and rested.
As soon as he saw us walking in, the old man hurriedly stood up from the bed and happily reached out to me: "Daughter-in-law!"
I was just stunned, but I didn't care much about her name. I walked over and held her hands: "Old lady!"
"Oh, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law!"
She probably really looked forward to seeing me again. At this time, she looked at me, her eyes turned red, and she kept stroking the back of my hand: "I haven't seen you for so long, where have you been? Why don't you come to see me, the old lady?"
I said softly, "It's been a mess outside recently, so I can't come out."
"It's messy outside?" Old Mrs. Zhang blinked her eyes and grabbed my hand tighter: "Then don't go back. Just be with me and sleep with me at night. Don't let people outside disturb us."
I smiled and looked at Pei Yuanxiu's disloyal look. Obviously, he could not take this sentence seriously. At this time, he took a step forward and leaned over and said gently: "Old lady."
Only then did Old Lady Zhang turn her eyes to him: "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
"You old lady, please be fine?"
"I am still healthy and strong." Old Mrs. Zhang looked at him with a smile: "Your Highness, why haven't you come here for so long?"
Pei Yuanxiu said: "There has been chaos outside recently."
"oh."
"I am making trouble."
Old Mrs. Zhang blinked at him, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. I also subconsciously turned my head to look at him. However, Song Huaiyi and the others who were standing behind him had a deep light flashing in their eyes.
Everyone spoke again, just greetings. After a while, Pei Yuanxiu and Song Huaiyi and the others had a "serious matter" to talk about and went to the other side. I could not have participated in their discussions. In addition, Old Mrs. Zhang was intimate with me and refused to let go of my hand, so she simply stayed here for more time with the elderly.
After they left, the maids put down their hot tea and snacks and left, I turned to look at Old Lady Zhang. There was no obvious change from the old man just now, but his breath was a little insufficient, so he fell back to the head of the bed and leaned on him, breathing slightly.
