Chapter 165 What do you want?
"How is it possible!" Simiao Miao hurriedly changed his words: "I mean, I taught Taoxue, so I also saved two people."

I don't know if Pei Qingshang believed it, but he just lowered his eyes slightly and nodded without saying a word.

There was a long silence between them, Simiaomiao pinched his fingertips in a daze, listening to the crackling sound of the fire.

Pei Qingshang threw a few dead branches into the fire, and he said calmly: "Your Highness just rescued the minister, did you not want him to die? Remember at the beginning, didn't your Highness still want to poison the minister's life?"

Simiaomiao didn't expect him to mention this matter suddenly, she subconsciously sat up straight and curled her fingertips twice.

"That's because..." Simiao Miao bit his lip and hesitated: "I didn't know the world at the time, and I didn't know that Prime Minister Pei was so important."

"Important to what?"

Simiaomiao raised her eyes and met his eyes, she saw the faint flames in his eyes, jumping like light.

"For Chaotang Sheji and Ayu, Prime Minister Pei is an indispensable member." Si Miaomiao scratched the ground with a dead branch.

She boldly said: "Actually, I was worried at first that Pei Cheng had plots against the throne, because you are powerful and powerful, and Ayu and I are just orphans and widows."

Pei Qingshang seemed to be laughing for a moment: "Then His Highness is not stupid, and knows to kill the minister to prevent the danger of usurping power."

He clenched his hands into fists, bent slightly to approach, and asked seriously: "But why did you change your mind now, just because His Highness thinks that Da Xun needs the assistance of a minister?"

Simiao Miao laughed dryly, and blew rainbow fart: "Now I have completely changed my view of Prime Minister Pei, and I believe that Prime Minister Pei is not the kind of ambitious sycophant."

She still didn't forget to smile and emphasize: "Besides, Prime Minister Pei probably won't care about me, right?"

Pei Qingshang took a deep breath, and raised his slanting eyebrows: "If the minister wants to care about it, can His Highness agree?"

Simiao Miao was startled, she stabilized her mind, and negotiated with him: "I understand, Prime Minister Pei must have cared about it when I almost poisoned you back then, but you can put forward conditions, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Pei Qingshang didn't speak, but raised his head slightly, looking at Simiao Miao meaningfully in his narrow eyes.

To show her sincerity, Simiaomiao stood up and walked to him. She encouraged Pei Qingshang to ask, "What do you want? Gold and silver? A house? Fertile land?"

Because of warming up by the fire, Simiaomiao's hair no longer dripped water, but his long hair was still loose on his shoulders.

Pei Qingshang tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, wanting to hold her in his arms and touch her soft hair.

But he only rolled his throat and didn't do that.

Pei Qingshang's voice was very cold: "I have already told His Highness what I want."

Um?Did he say that?

Simiaomiao was stunned: "When did it happen, I don't have any memory at all."

The light of the fire seemed to be floating around with pieces of gold, Pei Qingshang didn't rush to answer her, but just added a few branches to the fire.

Simiao Miao tugged at his sleeve: "Tell me, I don't remember what you want, please repeat it again."

Pei Qingshang did not respond, but said plainly: "Your Highness just saved my life, so I can tell the truth about one thing."

Simiao Miao hastily moved a little closer to him, put her hands on the backs of his hands, her eyelashes fluttered softly: "What's the matter?"

Pei Qingshang's eyes fell on her pink nails, and he looked away after a while.

"If I had the intention of treason, I would have already done it." Pei Qingshang lowered his head slightly, looking into Simiaomiao's eyes: "Because of the whereabouts of the jade seal, I know where it is."

Simiao Miao didn't expect this at all.

She was shocked in an uproar: "Do you know where the jade seal was lost? Then why didn't you tell me in the first place? Didn't you say that after my father lost the jade seal, he never found it?"

Pei Qingshang's eyes darkened: "It's the late emperor's will. The important officials keep it temporarily, and only claim it as lost."

Faced with Simiaomiao's puzzled expression, he continued, "When the first emperor came to power, there were internal and external troubles, and the vassal kings fought bloody battles. Therefore, the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to hide the jade seal for the reason of losing it, so as to avoid war disasters."

Pei Qingshang's eyes swept to the burning fire: "Before he passed away, he asked the minister to explain the matter. It was because he was worried that the reappearance of the jade seal would cause unnecessary trouble, so he only asked the minister to find a suitable opportunity to hand it over to His Majesty."

Simiaomiao opened his lips slightly in surprise, and for a long time didn't know what to say: "If you didn't tell me earlier, I'll be looking for the whereabouts of the jade seal everywhere."

Pei Qingshang looked at her: "Has Your Highness never carefully inspected the box containing the jade seals? There is a piece of paper left by the previous emperor inside. I asked His Highness to take the box away on purpose. I thought you would find it."

"Where is the jade seal now?"

"In the Fahua Tower in the palace."

Just that humble nine-story tower?There are all Tibetan scriptures inside, who would have thought that the important jade seals could be kept there for safekeeping.

It took Simiaomiao a long time to digest this big event.

She blinked her moist eyes, and looked at Pei Qingshang firmly: "Prime Minister Pei is so loyal that he never thought of treason once?"

You know, her father only told Pei Qingshang the whereabouts of the jade seal, as long as he got the jade seal and announced it to the world, he would usurp the throne in minutes.

However, Pei Qingshang just replied flatly: "The former emperor showed kindness to his ministers, not to mention that I have no interest in the throne."

Then what is the significance of him being diligently busy with government affairs, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands with rain, just because it is the attribute setting of a workaholic!

Simiaomiao didn't know why, but suddenly he held Pei Qingshang's palm with both hands in great emotion: "Prime Minister Pei, you are really... awe-inspiring! I admire you. The torch turns to ashes and tears dry. You are burning yourself to dedicate yourself to the country!"

What Simiaomiao never expected was that Pei Qingshanghui held her hand.

He pursed his thin lips slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Yes, I used to think that life was boring, so after the scientific examination, after entering the official career, I felt that being an official was boring, so I became the prime minister again."

Simiaomiao was startled, seeing that he had already leaned forward, the distance between them was so close that she forgot to back off.

Seeing that Pei Qingshang's expression became frivolous, he said in a deep and low voice, "Life was originally flat and smooth, and I didn't ask for anything, but after meeting His Highness, I suddenly felt that life was not so boring. At least one thing I might ask for."

Simiaomiao almost bit her tongue, she stammered, "What, what's the matter? Could it be that your prime minister is also tired of doing it?"

Does he regret that he didn't rebel and usurp the throne!

Pei Qingshang laughed wildly at this moment, like a god who controls all the ups and downs in the world.

He tilted his head close to Simiaomiao's earlobe, and said earnestly: "I used to think that I could give without expecting anything in return, but now I regret it."

 Thanks to my family for the occasional perfect, snow carp monthly pass!

  Pei Qingshang: I used to think that three points and one line were enough for life, going to court, approving memorials, and sleeping. Now that I met His Highness, I found something interesting, so I decided to give something in return.

  Simiao Miao: No way!No return!
  Pei Qingshang: If not, we will usurp the throne.
