He looked at both of us again, but before he finished speaking, he just smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. You guys walk slowly."

As he said that, he turned around and walked in, murmured: "How could I have seen them both before..."

We didn't care about his words either. At this time, Xiao Fuzi had already helped Shui Xiu get on the carriage and came to pick me up again. I nodded and wanted to walk over with him.

I just walked to the side of the carriage and turned around and saw that he was still standing behind me. The calm and deep eyes were still staring at me silently. I thought about it, held the car door and turned to look at him, and whispered: "Qinghan."

"Um?"

"You and Mr. Fu, be careful these days."

He looked at me, and nodded calmly.

In fact, since he and Fu Badai entered the court, the situation has been unstable. In the past, there were tigers like Shen Gongyi in the court, and they were eyeing them with the old ministers who were hostile to them. Now Shen Gongyi has fallen, and those old ministers have almost been cleaned by Pei Yuanhao, but it does not mean that their crisis has passed.

Their crisis has never come from the north only.

The situation in the court and the south is so tense, I don’t know what role Xichuan plays in it, but Fu Badai, who heard that there were foreign goods stores only came to inquire about the news, but took the initiative to ask if there were foreign goods stores in Beijing, and this was already in front of me.

It also means that he knows much more than me.

His entry into the North Korea has always been the most taboo thing in Xichuan.

"Don't worry, we'll be careful."

"……Um."

"don’t worry."

"And—" I sighed a little harder, looked into his eyes and said, "You promise me that no matter what you gave birth, don't go south easily."

This sentence made his originally calm and indifferent eyes flash suddenly.

His father and brother both died because of the south, and they all died in the south. This was always the heaviest stone in my heart, almost making me breathless. I am not worried about the heavy responsibility that my bloodline allowed him to inherit. I am just afraid that the same path will lead him to the same ending.

That is something I cannot let go of.

"You promise me."

“…”

He was silent for a while and nodded slowly: "Okay, I promise you."

Looking at the dark eyes, I breathed a little relieved. At this time, Xiao Fuzi and Du Yan had been waiting for a long time, so I turned around and got on the carriage carefully. Shui Xiu also sat there quietly and supported me. I sat down and moved to the window to lift the curtain. I saw him standing outside the carriage. The scorching sun shone on his dark skin, with some blood loss pale.

Just as Xiao Fuzi jumped onto the shaft and was about to wave his whip, Qinghan suddenly stepped forward and walked to the window.

“Light.”

When I heard this, I hurriedly stuck my head out: "Hmm?"

He looked at me, paused, and whispered, "I will arrange those things."

The last sentence was so low that I could hardly hear it. A loud whip from the long whip was already shaking forward.

I lay by the window and was stunned for a moment.

He said—will he arrange those things?

What's up?

What we just talked about was all about the South, Xichuan, and those things on the battlefield where every word was bloody. Of course, he would not say what he could arrange.

The only thing he can arrange, and what I have talked about is—

.

When the carriage returned to the imperial city swayingly, it was already dusk.

The palace gate made a long and dumb sound behind me, and then closed with a loud bang, like a muffled thunder blew in my ears. I suddenly opened my eyes wide and was shocked.

Shui Xiu sat next to me and looked at me carefully: "Sir, what are you thinking, so trance?"

“…No, it’s okay.”

The carriage drove forward for a while and stopped. Xiao Fuzi jumped down and helped Shui Xiu and get off the carriage. As soon as he looked up, he saw Eunuch Yu leading a few little eunuchs on the steps. When he saw me, he immediately jogged down and leaned over and said, "Mr. Yue, you are back."

"Eunuch Yu."

"The emperor has ordered Lord Yue to go to the imperial study room to meet immediately after returning to the palace."

Imperial Study Room...

I didn't find it strange that he wanted me to see him immediately, just-

never mind.

I nodded and turned around and told Shui Xiu: "Go back to Jingren Palace first and say to the Empress, don't run around, do you know?"

"Yes, sir."

Xiao Fuzi also asked Eunuch Yu for help, and then followed Shui Xiu with a smile. He looked like a little donkey in a fun way. I took two steps and looked back again. Du Yan was still standing in the carriage holding the reins, looking at the other end calmly. I thought about it and turned back to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work today."

He looked at me and said calmly: "I dare not."

I smiled and turned around and followed Eunuch Yu.

.

I am not unfamiliar with the way to the Imperial Study Room. I have walked it countless times. In fact, one road has always been the same, and the difference is just the mood of the person who is walking.

I walked to the steps outside the study room, and Eunuch Yu went up and pushed the door open, and said to me carefully: "Mr. Yue, please."

I walked in calmly.

The light in the imperial study room was not too strong. When dusk fell, the doors and windows here were closed, making it look a little more dull. Pei Yuanhao sat directly in front of the desk, lowering his head and writing something in front of the desk. There were several piles of folds on both sides and documents. It seemed that he had indeed not been easy these days.

I slowly walked to the center of the house and knelt down: "I pay homage to the emperor."

The originally walking pen paused for a moment and continued to write it, but he didn't even lift it: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After standing up, he continued to lower his head and write his things, not letting me leave or stay, so I just stood there.

The imperial study was silent, and there was only the rustling sound of wolf hair passing by on the paper.

I don’t know how long it took, but he finally finished writing it. He slowly put down his pen. While looking down at the note, he said casually: “What did you do when you leave the palace today?”

"If you go back to the emperor, I found the only foreign goods store in the capital, called Du Laiguan."

“What did you ask?”

"The owner of Du Lai Pavilion is from Franji. He said that the weapons from the south are indeed traded with them."

“Who sold it?”

"The court of Franchise."

His eyebrows were slightly raised.

"They actually got involved with those foreign countries?"

"It's not difficult," I said calmly: "The iron tools in the Celestial Empire are less circulating, and there are often some private cargo ships on the southern coast. They deal with foreign foreigners too much and need a large number of weapons. If the merchants can't afford it, they will find ways to set up a line to hand over the business to the court there, and then earn some money from the middlemen."

Pei Yuanhao sneered and closed the slap: "There is a country behind them."

I said, "This may not be."

"oh?"

"The foreign boss also said that they are just here to do business and spend money, but if it involves war, they will never dare."

"I'm afraid!" His voice raised eighth: "What else can you do unless you use the war? If they dare to sell it, they are already against the court!"

“…”

My heart was terrified.

I believed it eighty percent of the time when Uncle Gui said so sincerely before, but after Pei Yuanhao said this, I suddenly realized that such a large number of weapons could only be used for war. The rebellious forces in the South dared to sell them like this to the south.

In fact, no business in this world will be more profitable than war.

It seems that I am still too credulous.

At this time, I raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanhao and said, "The emperor is planning-"

"Hmph, I want to take the opportunity to make a profit?" He sneered: "I have a big 'business' to do with them!"

Looking at the almost cruel light in his eyes, and the chaos in the south these days made him feel depressed and irritable, I hurriedly said: "Master, the situation in the south is unclear now, so it is better not to have troubles with foreigners anymore."

The original anger in his eyes slowly faded after hearing my words. After looking at me for a long time, he didn't say anything. He slowly threw the memorial into the pile that had been reviewed on the desk, and the expression on his face sank.

However, his eyes became a little sharp.

I frowned slightly by such eyes, and felt that the heat in the room had faded away at this moment, and the room suddenly became cold and bone-broken. Then I heard his voice that had completely calmed down: "What else have you done besides these today?"

"nothing."

"Nothing?" He slowly stood up from the front of the desk and walked to me: "It's really nothing?"

"One round and one trip, there is no stop, and nothing else can be done."

“Do it—no?”

He suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled me hard in front of him: "If you can do it, what do you want to do?"

“…”

"You and him stayed in the foreign goods hall for so long, and the two of them lived in the same room, what else do you want to do?!"

He indeed...

When I heard this, I was too lazy to even sneer, and lowered my eyelids lightly: "I am in the palace as a minister, eat the king's fortune, and bear the king's worries. What I do is nothing more than this. The emperor thinks, what can we do?"

The anger in his eyes was even more intense than before. When he stared at me, he could almost feel the burning. I was holding my wrist tightly, and it was almost broken and painful. But I still looked at him calmly, as if I were here, but a skin that didn't know the pain and itch and had no love and hate.

He gritted his teeth and stared at me, his hands getting harder and harder, almost pinching my slender wrist bones. At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind. He stopped at the door and heard the panting voice of Eunuch Yu: "Master."

"What?!"
