"Have the emperor ever heard of the King of Qi over the years?"

The carriage was still moving forward, and the monotonous sound of the wheels hitting the ground added a depressing atmosphere to the quiet carriage, making people want to roar fiercely to clear the haze that filled my heart.?

When I said this, my voice was still very calm, almost integrated with this dull atmosphere, but only I knew that the clenched fists were covered with cold sweat in my palms. Every breath was like a torture, like a dull knife cutting back and forth in my heart, which was a torture that could not be resorted to.

Pei Yuanhao sat opposite me, his face also cold and gloomy: "No."

My heart hurts again.

Since marrying Liu Saner, I have always regarded myself as a reborn person. Everything in my past life has been in my previous life. No matter how happiness or pain is, it has been in my previous life. But now I know where is the past life and present life? I still live like this. People who have loved and hated are still in this world, and continue to love and hate. How can I get out of it?

And Pei Yuanfeng, he is not the remaining memory of my previous life.

As soon as I look back, the past flashes in front of me one by one. I seem to see the young and handsome face again. I am still childish when I smile. I think of him eating pastries in front of me. I think of him being righteous and righteous at the dinner party on the Moon Night; I think of me being named a talented person, he shed tears in the rain and crazy in the water; I think of him breaking into the cold palace with evil spirits in order to save me and confront Pei Yuanhao...

But now, where is he?

When he was in Yangzhou, he was sent to Xichuan. Later, Nangong Lizhu returned to Pei Yuanhao and I was sent to prison. At that time, Eunuch Yu told me, "The prince went far this time and couldn't come back for a while."

Unexpectedly, he really didn't come back...

"Your Majesty, haven't you ever found him?"

"I can't find it."

After saying this, his face became colder and colder. Even if the warm incense was still burning in the car, it could not resist the chill in his heart. He raised his head and looked at me with an ice-like eyes: "Do you know, why did he run away?"

"..." I looked up at him.

"Because of you!"

I suddenly opened my eyes wide, and saw his cold eyes looking at me like a needle: "He left because of you!"

I felt a loud bang from my head, and it hit me like a bolt from the blue, which made me stunned. I was frozen there and couldn't move: "What did you say?"

He sneered and said, "When he was in Xichuan, I asked Yuquan to pass the message. He learned that you committed suicide in Huyuexia and ordered someone to send me a broken arrow."

“…”

"From now on, he has never come back!"

“…”

I felt my chest hurt a lot. I curled up and sat in the corner with my knees. I grabbed the clothes on my chest with one hand, but I couldn't help myself from that pain at all. Pei Yuanfeng left after hearing about my "death news"!

A broken arrow represents his decision with the court and the emperor?

"Qingying, I really underestimated you from the beginning."

Pei Yuanhao gritted his teeth and looked at me, saying, "You can actually let him, this brother who has been following me since childhood, betrayed the court and betrayed me for you!"

"No……"

I shook my head gently and murmured, "No...he won't do this..."

This incident seemed to be the emperor's heartbreak. He sneered: "He won't? He went to the cold palace for you and made it clear to me. What else can he not do?!"

“…”

"He is my most cherished brother, and he is also the general I want to entrust to value, but you-" He looked at me with a serious look: "You ruined him!"

Did I ruin him?

I ruined him!

This sentence sounded in my ears like thunder, echoing constantly in my mind. It seemed that my soul was shaken out of my body, and I could not hear anything for a moment, nor could I see anything.

I remembered when I asked him why he did not follow Empress Yin and Pei Yuanxiu and stayed to help the emperor, but told me that he actually had his own ideals, hoped to abolish the untouchables in the south, hoped that the Han people and the outsiders would be integrated, hoped that the heavens and the north and south would be integrated, and that the real prosperity would be brought about. He stayed with Pei Yuanhao in order to realize his ideals.

But because of my "death", did he leave like this and give up his dream?

Thinking back to those clear eyes, when he spoke his dream, I clenched my fists-

No, I don't believe it!

"What did you say?"

Pei Yuanhao looked at me with a thick eyebrows, and I slowly raised my head to look at him: "I don't believe that King Qi would do this."

"Don't you believe it?" He sneered: "What do you want to say?"

"The King of Qi stayed in such a difficult time, and even—" He didn't follow even Empress Yin and Pei Yuanxiu left. How could he easily give up his original intention with such a person? "Even if the matter was really arranged by King of Qi this time, I believe it was not his original intention!"

He didn't say anything, just looked at me, and his eyes slowly became deeper.

I also looked at him: "Don't the emperor believe him?"

“…”

"Or don't believe me?"

“…”

He was still silent, the atmosphere in the gold car was almost suppressed. After a while, he slowly got up and leaned towards me until he almost pressed against my body, staring down at my eyes: "How do you want me to believe you?"

“…”

"He disobeys me like that for you. How do you want me to believe you and how do you believe him?"

“…”

I looked at the deep and dark eyes and my heart trembled slightly. When it was so difficult, Pei Yuanfeng stayed by his side. Even though he disobeyed him like that in the cold palace, he still took Pei Yuanfeng to Jiangnan and entrusted him with important responsibilities. Why can't he trust him now?

Or is it really because of me that the trust of this brother has been exhausted?

Really, is it my fault?

Thinking of this, I firmly raised my head: "Master, no matter what, he is your brother after all, isn't he?"

“…”

"At the time, outside the Hongye Temple in Xishan, even Mu Hua and the Emperor could let go; Mo Tieyi and his friends assassinated Lord Liu Yi, the Emperor could also forgive him. So, against the King of Qi, the Emperor could not have a chance to give each other a chance?"

"Give each other a chance?"

He heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at me with a smile: "If you want me, how can you give him a chance?"

I felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, but I still barely corrected my mind and said, "I just kept thinking that if it was King Qi who really took over the martial arts lecture hall, if he really wanted to assassinate the emperor, there was really no need to wait that long. Maybe they had some problems themselves, but more importantly,"

“What is it?”

"It's the emperor's attitude towards the south."

Pei Yuanhao still looked at me calmly and said nothing, but I knew that he must understand what I meant.

Before the New Year, Shen Gongyi took the opportunity to ask him for taxes in Jiangnan. At that time, because Shen Rou had just given birth to a child and the Shen family favored Zhenglong, Pei Yuanhao agreed to him that the order had been issued as soon as the spring began. In this way, his previous efforts in Jiangnan were almost in vain, and the integration of north and south was almost in vain. In the eyes of people in the south, he was a foolish monarch who changed his orders every day and ignored the lives of the people.

I think if the assassin was really sent by Pei Yuanfeng, it must have touched his line because of this incident.

"Actually, I think it's not just King Qi," I thought about it, and while looking at his face, he said cautiously: "The tax matters in Jiangnan should have been discussed from a long-term perspective. What about the emperor?"

“…”

"Tao Fu Shen asked for an increase in taxes in Jiangnan, so he should not have made hasty decisions."

“…”

"Besides, now everyone in the six ministries... The emperor, the order has just been issued, so there should be a chance to--"

He didn't say anything, but just kept looking at me silently. After a while, a joking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What are you hinting to me?"

"…!" Looking at his eyes, I was shocked.

I have always been very careful when talking to him, not too much, nor surrender, but I almost forgot that this matter is different from other things. It has involved important officials in the court, a national event that affects all officials and people, and there are also a lot of connections in the middle, involving the imperial concubine who favored Zhenglong in the harem...

He said I was suggesting something...

I quickly turned my face and avoided his gaze: "I don't."

He exhaled a cold smile from his nose, suddenly reached out and grabbed my chin, turned my face over and looked at him, and said, "What you said makes sense."

I was delighted, but I didn't expect that he was really willing to listen: "Then-"

"So, you should help me too."

"Help?" I was puzzled again, how to help?

But before I could react, my eyes suddenly turned dizzy. He reached out and pulled my body down. I was suddenly crushed to the ground by him. Although the thick labour under me did not hurt, I was stunned for a moment, and my hands were pressed to both sides of my body by him.

I hurriedly struggled subconsciously, but I encountered the injury on my hand and felt a sudden pain: "Ah——"

He covered me and heard my voice. The smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and he said softly: "Does it hurt?"

"You - what are you going to do - ah!"

“…”

"No, don't-ah!"

The soft and injured hand could not stop him from any movement. I watched him cover my body. With a gentle force, I lifted my clothes away. The thin underwear was rubbed into messyness. The snow-white skin was exposed. He smiled charmingly, lowered his head, and his hot lips printed on my lips, but did not go deeper. After a moment of sucking/licking/licking, he slowly moved downwards. The tip of his wet tongue moved along his chin, neck, and slightly trembling collarbone to his chest, the softest/temperature place.

I gritted my teeth desperately, but couldn't help but moaning: "No, ah-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
