Chapter 39

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

The weather was gloomy, with a huge dark cloud hovering in mid-air, thunder and lightning, and raindrops lingering.

Zhong Shu felt unwell and was sent out of the imperial study, and the rest of the people made arrangements and retreated one by one.

There are only two handsome men left in His Highness.

"Yunchu, what are you doing today?" The emperor's eyes darkened, and he spoke first.

Yunchu is Pei Huai'an's name, and the emperor will occasionally call him by his name when there is no one else around.

Pei Huaian stood in the palace, with his back straight, the evening clouds gradually receding in the sky, and the sky was pale glass. His face was calm, unruffled, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "I don't know what your Majesty said."

Pei Huai'an didn't like to kill. After Yu Wende came to power, there were too many things he needed to deal with. Even the slightest bit of womanly kindness would put him to death. Gradually, things changed.

Now he can chop off other people's heads without blinking an eye, and he is becoming less and less like himself.

And the emperor who caused all this really wanted to kill him.

After pacifying Tong's family, they went to the queen's relatives, and then went to Dongchang!

This is the inevitable result.

Enraged by him, Yu Wende's eyes were sharp and deep, full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Pei Huai'an, have you forgotten who gave you your current position? When I need you, you treat me like this?"

The emperor was short-tempered, and he didn't think about the past friendship, so he got angry directly.

"Hasn't the Emperor taken it back now? I don't care if I don't want this position." Pei Huaian's expression did not change, it was still the same.

A thunder and lightning flashed, and there was no sound in the hall.

Yu Wende said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" He grabbed the tea cup in front of him and smashed it on the ground. After a 'bang' sound, pieces of porcelain were broken on the ground.

A dozen or so experts flew in from the hall, holding long sabers with lotus patterns and tiger heads.

Murderous.

Cai Shao stood at the door of the imperial study room, knowing what was going on inside, he was frightened, but he didn't show anything on the surface. The young eunuchs Da Chun and Xiao Chun next to him had obvious signs of panic on their faces.

Could it be that Governor Pei is going to die in the imperial study today?

Pei Huaizhong remained as still as a mountain, standing on the same spot, "If you want me to die, I have to die. If the emperor wants to take my life, just come."

With his appearance, there was nothing Yu Wende could do. In this troubled time, if Pei Huai'an died, the forces he had to check and balance would no longer have someone to fear, and would frantically attack the court.

"You go back to the mansion first, now is not the time for you and me to talk, how could I kill you, it was just an act of anger."

The emperor addressed himself as "I" and bowed his head first.

Pei Huai'an nodded and stepped back.

Seeing him come out, Cai Shao called out, "Master Pei."

The man stopped, and the eunuch behind him didn't speak again. He continued to walk forward without looking back, and walked farther. The wind greeted him, and the two of them walked towards the palace gate.

Governor Pei was relieved of the important responsibilities of the East Factory and the West Factory, and was temporarily assigned to serve under the Right Prime Minister, waiting for orders, and spread throughout Shengjing at a very fast speed.

The reputation of Dongchang and Xichang for being ruthless spread far and wide, and many people thought that Pei Huaian relied on them to achieve success. Without the protection of the two, there was nothing to fear.

Rabbit dead dog cooking.

That night, several waves of assassins entered the Governor's Mansion, all intent on taking Pei Huaian's life.

At the beginning, Shuo Feng and Cheng Yao didn't pay attention to these small things, but on the second day, there were many more assassins, and some even slipped through the net and stepped into the Governor's courtyard, and they couldn't kill them all...

The troops summoned by the Tong family are on their way.

The Dudu Mansion kills assassins every night.

It's night, without moon or stars.

Pei Huaian was sitting at the desk in the study, finishing writing the last word of the word, when he heard the sound of swords clashing outside. His narrow red phoenix eyes looked towards the sound, only to see the dark courtyard wall.

He didn't feel sleepy at all, so he went back to his room and picked out a black gilt cross-neck jacket to change into. Tonight, he suddenly wanted to go somewhere.

There was no light in the dark night, which looked extremely scary.

The once prosperous Princess Zhaoyang Mansion has become desolate following the death of its master. There are many weeds growing in the courtyard, and a thick layer of ash has fallen on the tables and chairs.

Yu Lian covered her face and appeared in night clothes. Seeing the former princess's mansion turned into this, she felt slightly sad in her heart. She lived here not long ago. Shigou and her sister occasionally came to visit her, and spring swallows and summer sparrows accompanied her. Pei Huaian also lives here.

Today, things are different.

Being shocked by the alcohol and sleeping heavily, the gambling book was so scented with tea, it was only normal at that time.

Chunyan said that after her death, under the attack of Yu Wende, the princess mansion was dismantled, and no one else lived in, so it was always empty, and the valuable things had been swept away long ago.

She cheered up and headed to the main courtyard in the pitch darkness without lighting a lamp.

She was afraid of the dark and had no fear at this time. If she left the capital and went to Pengshan, she would probably never set foot in this princess mansion again in her life. After living there for so many years, how could she not have feelings for her.

On the black golden silk nanmu, there are dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, with the words "Tianwuyuan" written on it, and it has arrived.

The sky is as cold as water at night, and there is still some unmelted ice on the ground.

The main wing was unlocked and closed tightly. Yu Lian took out a small empty lamp from her arms and lit it with a fire stick, making the courtyard bright.

Pushing open the door, a cloud of dust rose.

The phoenix-carved jade box, the jade flower-and-bird pattern comb, the enamel colored baby's play double vase and other items in the house have disappeared.

Even the tables, chairs and beds were emptied...

Yu Lian said angrily: "These people are extremely excessive."

The red candle was not taken away, so she lit the candle on the candlestick. The room was bright. She used Qinggong and flew to the beam like a light swallow. Then she found the largest one, took out her knife and dug it up.

The roof beams were painted with red paint, and it was on the roof. Most people wouldn't search so carefully.

Yu Lian dug for a while before she found the beginning of an inconspicuous bulge. She pressed it, and a box as big as two palms slowly popped out from the top of the red lacquered wood.

This is made by Mr. Lu Ban's big apprentice using tenon and mortise techniques.

She carefully walked to the brocade red satin box, which was coated with a layer of poison and could not be opened directly. She pressed an inconspicuous place with her little hand, and the poison on the box slowly disappeared and turned from brocade red to light red before she opened it. .

The red gold Jingfu long cotton phoenix hairpin and the tourmaline carved jade pendant are the relics of the mother and concubine.

There is also a golden death-free medal, nine-turn dragon beads, a gold-inlaid jade bracelet, jade plaques and some small items.

outside.

In the hallway of the princess's mansion, Pei Huaian landed alone.

He had not been here in the past few years, and the image of the prosperous Princess Mansion was still in his mind. Now that he was so depressed, he strode towards the Tianwu Palace.

Sleepless nights, and then in vain.

Yu Lian took out a piece of cloth and wrapped the box, carrying it behind her back. Before leaving, she took a few more glances at the dormitory.Pei Huaian walked through the winding corridor, but before he reached the Tianwu Courtyard, he saw the bright lights there, his eyes flashed, and he flew there to check.

The Yuanjia Road is narrow, and Yu Lian just came out after putting out the candles when she saw Pei Huai'an in the courtyard.

He stayed up most of the night, what was he doing here?
She took out her dagger to defend herself, and stepped back while looking behind her, fearing that there might be an ambush behind her.
