He Zhou stood waiting outside the Tongxin Hall. It was early morning and the temperature outside was very low. He silently looked at the closed hall door, a little worried. Although he didn't know the reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Fortunately, the door of the palace opened after a quarter of an hour, and Ping Wei walked out. He Zhou carefully studied the other person's face, and wanted to ask him how the conversation with Emperor Chong was going, but Ping Wei didn't say anything.In order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, He Zhou followed behind the other party, and the two sat in the carriage without a word. He didn't ask in a low voice until the other courtyard entered the room, "How is it, did Emperor Chong agree with you to go to Nanling?"

Ping Wei sat down on the chair, looked up at He Zhou, and said softly, "I don't know."

"Ok?"

"I told him another thing in the temple."

"What's the matter?" He Zhou noticed that his expression was wrong, and frowned. Seeing that Pingwei didn't answer, he asked again, "Can't you even tell me?"

"Yes," Ping Wei opened the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, "but I need you to promise me one thing."

He Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Seriously?"

"It seems a little bit."

"Then I want to listen first," He Zhou said naturally.

The smile on Pingwei's face gradually deepened, "There's no such thing as you, it's a shame."

"No matter," He Zhou said arrogantly, grabbed his hand, put it on his lap and held it tightly, "Say it quickly."

Ping Wei looked at him for a while, then said softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Nanling."

"Ah."

"But I want you to go for me."

"reason?"

"I think Emperor Chong wants to kill me."

He Zhou's pupils shrank. He was startled at first, and shook Pingwei's hand, then quickly regained his composure, with a murderous intent in his eyes, "What should we do?"

Ping Wei panicked for a while when he came to this conclusion in the palace, and he was thinking about it on the way back, but now seeing He Zhou's reaction, he wasn't so worried anymore, he smiled lightly and said , "I plan to stay in Linjing City to find out the reason why he wants to kill me. You go to Nanling for me to find Guan Yue and Liang Jingzhao."

"I won't go," He Zhou refused as expected, with obvious anger on his face, "Emperor Chong is going to kill you, how can I leave you and run to Nanling by myself?"

"You just said you promised me," Ping Wei squeezed his hand.

"No," He Zhou said decisively, turning his head away from Pingwei, "I won't promise you anything."

"The matter you mentioned to me before, can I agree to it?" Ping Wei let go of his hand, turned He Zhou's face to face him, and leaned over to kiss his lips, acting like a spoiled child. He said softly, "Just promise me."

"..." He Zhou put his arms around his waist, hugged him onto his lap, raised his head and kissed him, his lips and teeth blended for a while before saying, "No."

"Then what you said before is hopeless."

"It's ok."

Pingwei looked at him helplessly, and said in a neutral tone, "I've already decided."

"I've also decided to stay here with you," He Zhou said nonchalantly.

The two seemed to be at a stalemate.

After a while, He Zhou asked, "Why do you think he wants to kill you?"

"It was he who asked You Buqing to become the governor of the capital. Have you ever thought about why he, an ordinary person, became a third-rank official in just four years?" Ping Wei looked at him, "Qi Zheng was also a commoner. He passed the literary examination and entered the court, and then he spent nine years working hard from a small Zhima official all the way to becoming a governor."

He Zhou didn't know much about Daqi's official position, but he felt a little strange when he heard Pingwei say this, "But why do you think that the person behind him is Emperor Chong?"

"I didn't think about it before, but when I entered the palace tonight, he suddenly asked me if I had any doubts about the case of theft. I just thought of this and said it casually. I didn't expect..."

Ping Wei sighed in his heart, he really didn't expect that Emperor Chong would do something to him.

"Then since he wanted to kill you, why did he ask you to come back before? Could it be that Xie Shi was overthrown by you, he has already got his wish, and it is Xie Lianzheng who really wants to support?" He Zhou frowned, not sure typical.

"I don't know," Ping Wei said frankly, "So I want to stay and find out the reason. Besides...if he really wants to kill me, he may not allow me to go to Nanling."

He Zhou nodded, seeing that Ping Wei's eyes were full of determination, he looked away for a while, and asked, "Do you really want to stay?"

"Well, I'm capable enough to protect myself."

"I must also go to Nanling?"

"It's better like this. I don't want to see Jingzhao and Guan Yue have an affair."

"Okay then," He Zhou backed off, he was a little annoyed, but his tone was still gentle, "Can I start again tomorrow morning?"

In fact, it is best to leave now, but Ping Wei knew that this person would not agree, so he said, "Okay, let's go from Mingyang?"

"Well, it will take at least five days on the road." He Zhou didn't know what would happen in Nanling in the next three days, and he was not sure whether Pingwei would be safe in Linjing City, so he suddenly became depressed, "Am I I won't see you for half a month."

This is still to be said quickly, if Nanling and Donghu can't tell the difference, I'm afraid it will take a month. Go find you."

"How did you end?" He Zhou was still worried, "Is it possible to kill Emperor Chong? Can he know martial arts?" His eyes lit up as he spoke, yes, he can...

"Don't," Ping Wei smiled, and raised his hand to pinch his face, "Killing a king is not an easy task."

"But there are two of us," He Zhou said in a low voice, "Instead of being passive, why don't we..."

Ping smiled and shook his head, "Wouldn't Daqi be in chaos if he died? I'm fledgling now, and I offended a third of the people in the court because of the imperial examination before. If Emperor Chong died, Xie Lianzheng would take over directly. "

He Zhou was puzzled, "Do you want to be emperor?"

"I don't want to," Ping Wei said without hesitation, "but I'm still not familiar with Xie Lianzheng, so I'm not sure what the difference is between him being an emperor and Chongdi."

"The difference is that he won't want to kill you?" He Zhou became unsure after he finished speaking - Xie Lianzheng became the emperor and Pingwei was his younger brother, but he was the person most likely to threaten him, "Well... .Forget it." He raised his head and bit Pingwei's throat, "Why don't you get rid of them all, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ping smiled so much that his brows and eyes curled up, he raised his head and let He Zhou bite, stroked his hair and asked, "Are you really planning that, or are you just joking?"

"It's fine," He Zhou said vaguely, "as long as you're safe."

Pingwei's heart is so soft that He Zhou can always accurately poke the softest part of his heart, which makes him feel sour and sweet, and he can't help asking, "What about you?"

"I can do whatever I want," He Zhou said.

Ping smiled, and returned to the topic at the beginning, "I haven't finished talking about how I guessed that Emperor Chong wanted to kill me."

"Isn't this obvious? You are You Buqing's enemy. He tried his best to transport part of it from Nanling back to the capital in order to attack you. Emperor Chong must investigate him before deciding to help him become the governor of the capital. It must be clear, he knows the relationship between You Buqing and you, and he asked you to seal the capital, isn't it just for..."

He Zhou let go of Pingwei's throat, stepped back slightly and raised his head to meet his gaze, looking at him tenderly, "It's okay, you are the most important thing in my heart, I love you."

Ping smiled slightly, "Are you comforting me?"

"Well," He Zhou tore off his collar, and kissed his chest.

Ping Wei smiled, "I said I have no relationship with Emperor Chong, but he was surprised that he had such thoughts about me."

"Do you have any clue about this matter now?" He Zhou asked.

"No," Ping Wei said, "I have stated from the beginning that I have no idea about the throne. He shouldn't want to kill me out of fear. The two cases of Shi Qianlin and cheating in the imperial examination were done with his acquiescence. Ning Yao's stolen He also let me go."

really shouldn't...

"Don't think about it," He Zhou glanced at the moment beside him. It was almost ten o'clock, and it would be dawn in over an hour. He carried Pingwei to the bed, helped him take off his coat, and lay down next to him Pull people into your arms.

"Let's rest first. Emperor Chong failed to kill you with Youbuqing this time. After returning to Beijing, he won't do it easily. He couldn't find a suitable opportunity. I'm too tired today. Think about it tomorrow."

Ping Wei found a comfortable position in his arms, said "um" softly, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

However, He Zhou didn't sleep, and he would not see Ping Wei for such a long time, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of this time to look at him more.

The two of them, one sleeping peacefully and the other looking engrossed, spent this restless night as they wished.
