The carriage was quickly prepared in front of the palace, Jue Yun asked Pei Jiqing to go up first, and he got into the carriage behind him. There was a lot of space in the carriage, and Pei Jiqing moved to the corner with his body bowed, probably because he had been lying down for too long. He couldn't help but his feet went limp, Jue Yun stretched out his hand and hugged him in his arms.

Pei Jiqing smiled, but rarely pushed him away. Jueyun glanced at him, sighed a long time, and said in a low voice: "Seeing that you are so much more energetic, I feel much more at ease."

"Really?" Pei Jiqing straightened his collar, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "The Emperor, what happened?"

"When you were in a coma, I asked the people in Qingyun Guan, and they said that Fu Congjin had never been here since the Supreme Emperor came here, only the delirious old prince had been there a few times, and he just talked nonsense every time. "Je Yun frowned slightly, "After I came back, Fu Congjin did have a reason to attack, but the imperial physician diagnosed and treated him, and the Supreme Emperor was indeed not injured or poisoned, but seemed to be dying of a long-term illness. I went to check his medication, and it was just some There are common miscellaneous diseases for the elderly, and there is no abnormality. You have been sick all the time, so I had to ask Fu Congsi to go with him. He looked at it, but he couldn't tell what the problem was."

Pei Jiqing didn't expect Jue Yun to do so much, he asked in surprise, "How many days did I sleep after the accident?"

"Three days." Jue Yun stretched out three fingers, and then raised his hand to touch Pei Jiqing's forehead, "In three days, you will sometimes wake up, but you will fall asleep after talking nonsense, it's not just about the emperor, I came to see the doctor before, and he said that you are not in good health, and that you have not slept for three days and three nights before, which hurt your mind, and you can only look at your spirit by holding on with one breath. You screamed and beat, and finally couldn't help it, so you had to beat the wall, you see, there are still blood scabs on my fist."

Jue Yun really stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of Pei Jiqing, but Pei Jiqing did not smile, but sighed softly: "I was too impulsive, I only thought that we were near the capital, if we were injured due to the siege Fu Congjin will definitely make a fuss about this matter, after all, he has just issued an imperial edict, which means 'I think I am wrong', not 'everyone in the world thinks I am wrong'."

"I didn't mean that at all!" Jue Yun got a little annoyed again, and couldn't help but tap Pei Jiqing on the head, "You have done everything you can, and you haven't sorry for my father or me, but you acted like that." How many times have you advocated it? It turns out that when you went to Prince Ning’s Mansion, you told me that you were threatened. Could it be that someone else threatened you? You are such a practical person, how come you are always foolish and loyal in the face of big things? , In short, this is the last time I warn you, don't say things that blame yourself with a bitter face, if there is another time, I will make you unable to get out of bed for three days."

Jue Yun was full of anger when he spoke, and this anger was both distracting and distracting. When facing other things, Pei Qi was very open-minded, and didn't take any rumors to heart, but as long as he faced the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and himself, the father and son The scruples and low self-esteem in his temperament can't help haunting him, encouraging him to do some low-key things.

He is usually a vicious and wretched person, but whenever he encounters matters related to himself, he insists on putting himself extremely low. The expression on that pretty face is replaced by humility and prudence, which is really tantalizing.

For example, Uncle Pei was looking at him carefully, his lips were slightly red, as if he was hesitating whether to speak or not.At this moment, the moonlight was shining like a wash, and it was a little bright reflected by the snow, revealing that the face was white to transparent.

Jue Yun couldn't help hugging him, pinched his fleshless waist fiercely, then took a deep breath, and restrained himself.

Pei Jiqing shrank back a bit, and said softly: "... Calm down..."

He knew that what he did was wrong, and what Jue Yun taught was indeed right, but Jue Yun didn't know what he had experienced, let alone the position of the Supreme Emperor in his heart.

Jue Yun didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't stop the small movements in his hands, and finally hugged Pei Jiqing in his arms, couldn't help but bury his face on Pei Jiqing's shoulder, biting him with his canine teeth clavicle.Pei Jiqing's limbs suddenly went limp, and his viscera went numb. He subconsciously wanted to push Jue Yun away, but Jue Yun didn't care if he was in the carriage or not, he grabbed those two slender wrists and bit his lips.

"Uncle Pei, I'm not angry." Jue Yun pretended to be aggrieved again.

Pei Jiqing didn't move now, as if Jueyun was so big, but he could transform into the little milk dog who held back his tears and didn't dare to cry.He suddenly felt that his feelings about Duel Yun had changed a lot. Before, he only regarded him as a little master and wanted to support him to get back what was taken away by others, but now it was different. The body can decide whether a person has *, but reason can decide whether a person should continue or not.

He has never married a wife and had children in half his life, but he was eaten up by the children he raised with his own hands, and suddenly he wanted to laugh a little bit.

He didn't know what happened.

The carriage stopped suddenly, interrupting both of their wild thoughts.The coachman leaned over to take out the small stool, Pei Jiqing lifted the curtain of the car, just took a step, and saw a tall and thin figure in a black cloak, followed by a guard, who was also tall and straight like him, Silver unicorns are embroidered on the placket.

Pei Jiqing smiled coldly, quickly got back into the carriage, and spread out the somewhat disheveled bun.

"What are you going to do?" Jueyun was just pushed back into the car by him, with a very surprised expression on his face.

"Once we meet, we naturally have to dress up." Pei Jiqing smiled and took off the hairpin, tightened the messy bun, and brushed off the messy hair. very proud.

Pei Jiqing not only re-tied his hair, but also tied Jue Yun's belt again, and raised his head to straighten his hair crown. When the two got out of the car, the sky was a little pale, and Jue Yun was wearing a black dragon embroidered cloak, which was fluffy. Under the dense black animal fur, there was a faint flash of cold white with dark silver lines. The ancient vermilion lacquer gate slowly opened, and the palace guards knelt down to welcome Jue Yun in.

Pei Jiqing took half a step back and followed Jue Yun slowly. At this time, the rising sun cast a layer of gentle sunlight on Jue Yun's side face. The foreign blood perfectly blended into his appearance, and the bridge of nose and eyebrows were extremely handsome. , just like the concubine who made the bright moon in the grassland fade away in the past.

Pei Jiqing stopped at the gate of the palace, and lowered her voice extremely low, "When you enter the palace, don't mention Rong Ting to the emperor, and don't mention me either. Now is not the time."

"Aren't you going in?" Jue Yun gave him a hand, "You are in charge of my palace, you can enter the palace even if you are not an official, don't worry about it."

Pei Jiqing didn't say anything, and followed Jueyun decisively.

The palace is very quiet, all the palace eunuchs are dressed in plain clothes, because the New Year is coming, all the decorations in the palace have been replaced with red, which symbolizes festiveness, but the emperor left too suddenly, some things were too late to be replaced, so they could only be replaced with white ones. The silk cloth was firmly covered, snow fell outside the window, and the interior was also pale, even the expression of the person was covered with a layer of frost.

Fu Congjin had arrived at the palace before Jueyun. The Qianqing Palace used to be shining brightly, but now it is covered with plain white linen, surrounded by officials of all sizes. Amid the sound of chanting, these people are all dressed in plain clothes and black gauze, standing in front of the coffin and bowing their heads. sobbing.

Fu Yunhui knelt in front of the coffin, his slender figure appeared even thinner, Jueyun took off his black cloak, took three steps back and knelt in the snow three times and nine times. Next, said in a low voice: "See Brother Huang."

"Yun Jue." Fu Yunhui got up slowly, his brows were very tired and dizzy, like a filial son who was overly sad, "Yun Jue, Father left in such a hurry that you didn't even have time to take a look. I feel very sad for my brother."

Jue Yun said softly: "Yes."

Pei Jiqing stopped outside the gate of Qianqing Palace. He was still a servant of the Xian King, so he had no choice but to stay outside at the moment. He knelt far away on the snow in front of the gate of Qianqing Palace, and bowed towards the coffin in the distance.Although Jue Yun came back at this time, the emperor made it clear that he wanted to show his favor, but Fu Congjin's troops were still in the northwest, as long as he survived, the court would keep his power.Pei Jiqing felt that if he revealed his identity, Fu Congjin would definitely ask him to become an official in the court. By that time, it would not be conducive to helping Jueyun, so he might as well stay by his side and be a good steward of the palace.

"I stayed with the emperor's uncle for three days, and you and Congsi went to Qingyun Temple to clean up and tidy up. My father suddenly died of illness, and my heart was extremely sad. I don't know if you have read the father's prescription. What's wrong? The imperial doctor can't take care of it. Zhou?" Fu Yunhui's tone was weak, but there was some eagerness in his expression.

Jue Yun and Fu Congsi did not see anything, so he could only answer in a low voice: "No, Father really left suddenly."

"Although life is glorious and death is mourning, Brother Huang didn't like to be extravagant during his lifetime. He will be buried in the Taimiao after seven days of mourning." Fu Congjin slowly got up in front of the coffin, "Xian Wang, do you have any comments?"

"No." Jue Yun said in a low voice: "Uncle Emperor, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Brother Huang has stopped guarding the coffin for three days. Starting tonight, I want to guard the coffin myself to show my filial piety."

"Okay." Fu Congjin nodded without hesitation.

One day later, the officials dispersed, and only the royal family members had a vegetarian feast together. They greeted each other hypocritically, as if they were really affectionate. Tomorrow the emperor will resume his reign in the side hall. The prime minister's funeral was held grandly, but after the ceremony, it was as quiet as before. Everyone in the world is moving forward, only the struggle between people will not end.

The vegetarian banquet was eaten very quickly, and almost every dish was not touched. The emperor was exhausted after kneeling for three days, so he helped the maid's hand and returned to the harem. It was already night, Fu Congjin got up and sent Jueyun back to Qianqing Palace .

At this moment, the gloomy wind was blowing, covering the formerly resplendent palace. Fu Congjin walked outside the palace gate and dismissed the servants, and said with a low laugh, "Yun Jue, Jue Yun. I used to think that the young general was young and promising, but I didn't expect that he was the son of the emperor's brother." .”

Jue Yun glanced at Fu Congjin, and slowly knelt down in front of the spirit: "I have always been Fu Yunjue, but the emperor's uncle dealt with treacherous officials at that time with swift and lightning methods, and my mother was afraid that I would suffer setbacks, so she let me go out of the palace temporarily."

Fu Congjin was silent for a moment, then looked at Pei Jiqing, "I want to talk to Mr. Rong, but I don't know if I can."

Just as Jue Yun was about to turn around to stop him, Pei Jiqing nodded and said, "My lord please."

When Jue Yun entered the palace, Fu Congjin had already lost the first step. Pei Jiqing would not be afraid to have a private conversation with him at all. Fu Congjin took Pei Jiqing a long way and pointed to the palace wall, "This is where the concubine mother used to live. Compared with the Qianqing Palace just now, isn't this place very dilapidated?"

Pei Jiqing nodded, and Fu Congjin continued: "This king has admitted that the previous methods were too harsh. The Qing emperor only eliminated 'Pei Jiqing'. Your Rong family is really innocent. What kind of official position did you use in the past? Reinstated for you."

Pei Jiqing smiled, "I forgot."

Fu Congjin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I think you are very similar to my old friend, but today is different. My old man likes fame, wealth and power. If I ask him, he will remember it immediately."

"Your Highness already knows who Cao Min is, why do you still talk to Cao Min?" Pei Jiqing also smiled from a distance, "Does Your Highness still think that Cao Min is your old friend?"

"The old man is the enemy, and you are more similar." Fu Congjin raised his hand and shook the snowflakes off, "If the emperor died in front of the old man, he would probably be able to talk and laugh happily with this king, after all, the pain in his heart is too deep, and he can't shed tears. Look at this king, there are no tears at all."

"My lord feels uncomfortable?" Pei Jiqing looked up in disbelief, and met Fu Congjin's eyes, but saw something different in his eyes. Fu Congjin was always gentle, and his expression never changed easily. Pei Jiqing couldn't bear it. Zhu asked again, "My lord, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Brother is dead, how can I not feel bad in my heart." Fu Congjin said slowly, "There were many brothers in the past, and I was bullied every day. Only Brother Huang treated me very well and never disliked my background."

Pei Jiqing blurted out, "Then why did you force the palace?"

"There is a word 'forced' in 'forced palace', so I was forced by others." Fu Congjin's self-proclaim has changed, as if it came from his heart, even Pei Jiqing can hardly tell whether he is true or false, "You Raising Ling Jueyun wholeheartedly is not for the sake of fame and power, my old friend is the same, but you look at his end... relying on the wealth and honor of the heavenly family to bestow favors, Mr. Rong, you will regret it."

"Steward Pei!"

The wind was blowing, and Pei Jiqing couldn't bear it anymore. If it wasn't for this shout, he would have told the truth immediately.Even though he has calmed down a bit now, he still wants to question Fu Congjin from the bottom of his heart: Why do you feel uncomfortable, why do you want to set up a "persecuted" archway here when you have blood on your hands?

"Boss Pei, the lord ordered you to go back immediately." The little eunuch wiped off his sweat, then hurriedly knelt down, "See the Regent."

Fu Congjin waved his hand, indicating that Pei Jiqing could go back. In this instant, his expression had returned to the gentleness of the past. Even now that the Xian Wang came back with the Son of Heaven Sword and Zhao Deqin's soldiers and horses were in their hands, his eyes were still smiling. , gentle to the point of indescribable, like a □□□.

Sure enough, Fu Congjin was not defeated yet, and he still had a hole card in his hand that he didn't know about, perhaps even more powerful than soldiers and horses.

Pei Jiqing knelt down and saluted, then turned and left, the snow-white lights of Qianqing Palace suddenly became extremely warm, fortunately, now he is no longer alone.
