Pei Yuanfeng was shocked and turned to look at me: "What? Are you going to see those assassins?"

I nodded.

His brows frowned, and the word "chuan" frowned. He looked at me silently for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "Qingying, why don't you listen to what I said to you on the boat? I have told you a long time ago that you should ignore these things about Jiangnan, but you--"

Looking at his anxious look, I smiled faintly and interrupted him: "Prince."

“…”

"I'm not doing this for anyone."

“…”

"I want to do these things because this is a big deal and will affect thousands of people."

“…”

"I have been kidnapped by these assassins and have had contact with some of them. I will probably be more effective than your punishment."

Looking at my calm smile, Pei Yuanfeng seemed to be a little hesitant, and I said again: "If I'm lucky enough to ask something, it's better than finding everything in the city, and it's better than using a knife and a gun and splattering blood for five steps. Are you right?"

Pei Yuanfeng looked at me in disbelief, frowned slightly, but I always smiled faintly. After a long silence, he finally sighed and said, "Okay, I can arrange it. But it won't work. We have to go to the night banquet. I'll arrange it for you after tonight."

I nodded and looked up at the night sky that was already reflected by the city tower lights in the distance, and without saying anything, I followed Pei Yuanfeng and walked over.

.

Outside, there was noisy, crowds of people resounding throughout the sky.

The high city tower was hung with all kinds of lanterns, swaying in the wind, and the bright red light reflected the entire city tower, as if it was shrouded in a red glow. The government held a banquet on the city tower, and almost half of the Yangzhou people rushed to the bottom of the city tower. Looking around, there were crowds of people and noisy and shaking the sky.

Everything seemed to be a reflection more than a year ago.

The difference is that this time, I stood on it.

It is no longer like in the past, I can only look up from afar from below, and I am not in a dilemma. Even the officials have long seen the special status of me, the so-called "palace maid". Although I am guilty, the emperor's confidants are polite to me. Even the King of Qi is by my side. These people have a pair of eyes refined in the oil pan, so they will naturally not miss these small details. When I walked over, they bowed and smiled at me, very polite.

I was a little embarrassed and didn't talk to anyone. I turned to look at the bustling crowds downstairs, which were crowded as if they were during the New Year, and the noisy sound was deafening.

I looked down at the bottom. There were crowds of people under the city tower. Then I turned to look at the guards who were kneeling with swords on the city tower. Pei Yuanfeng said softly: "Qingying, what are you looking at?"

"Not all these are Yulin Guards."

"Um."

"Where are people?"

"Half stayed in the state capital, and the other half were released. The emperor asked them to inquire about the news, and it is necessary to find out the clues of the assassin within three days."

I lowered my head and thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, "I guess these people must have met Miss Nangong, right?"

Pei Yuanfeng froze for a moment, looked at me, and I smiled and said, "Although the emperor did not go south for this matter, this matter is always a hurdle in his heart." I thought, and turned to look down, and there were lights in the distance, and there were crowds of people everywhere I saw. "I don't know if Miss Nangong would be among these people."

"Guess it?"

"……meeting."

"Why?"

I smiled and looked back at him: "If I were Miss Nangong, I would also want to take a look."

“…”

"I guess he wants to see Miss Nangong too."

The person is still the same person, but the emperor and the prince are incomparable. Moreover... the relationship between them, the entangled love thread, was pulled from the capital to Shengjing, and then stretched thousands of miles southward, and it was eventually cut.

She should also want to see Pei Yuanhao.

And Pei Yuanhao couldn't let her go...

Pei Yuanfeng kept looking at me quietly, his expression slowly becoming lonely. After a while, he said softly: "Qingying, when can you understand me as much as you know him?"

I felt aroused in my heart and turned to look at him. The young and handsome face was slightly lost in the night.

Even those clear and bright eyes were filled with a hint of gloom.

“…”

I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but my throat was so dry that I couldn't speak. When he saw my helpless look, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Forget it, I'm just talking casually, don't mind, don't worry about me."

“…”

"I...I just hope that you can be fine."

Although he said this, the loss in his face and eyes could not deceive anyone. I was silent for a moment and said softly: "Prince, there are things that are not what you think..."

He looked at me with a little eyes, but he seemed to dare not ask further, for fear that the answers he asked would hurt him even more. I thought about it and only smiled: "You will understand in the future."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a loud voice in the distance:

"The Emperor is here!"

Suddenly, the officials around them all stood up in a state of twelve minutes of spirit and stood in a state of sternness.

I turned my head and saw a large group of people walking in front of me. The most were the guards and the officials who brought the emperor to the south. The familiar and tall figure in the center was Pei Yuanhao.

This is the first time that the emperor has visited the south in person since the founding of the Celestial Empire.

No matter what he had before or what he would have afterwards, this time his journey south was indeed an extremely huge shock to the south. The people from panic to suspicion, from suspicion to shock, all looked up at him.

Pei Yuanhao's cold face still did not have much warmth, his expression was as hard as a rock, and he had an unshakable fortitude. The bright yellow robe was worn on him, and it also revealed indescribable luxury and calmness. It was also the most dazzling place under the night sky. That kind of intimidating domineering aura spread out, almost covering the entire city tower. The people below were still clamoring at the beginning. When they really saw this emperor who was like a heavenly being in the world slowly walked out, they all became silent.

The whole world seemed to be quiet for him.

I don’t know who took the lead, but the people slowly knelt down.

Looking at the dark heads below, I slowly turned my head and looked at the man in the middle of the crowd. He looked down at everything under his feet, looking down at all like a god.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

A huge cry sounded loudly, and even the city tower under his feet seemed to be trembling slightly. He raised his hand gently: "Flat."

Just as he finished saying this, his face suddenly changed drastically. He stepped forward and stared at the bottom. The raised hand suddenly grabbed the wall, as if he was about to crush the stones under his hands.

What happened?

When the officials around him were shocked when they saw him like this, Pei Yuanfeng also hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Master, what's wrong-?"

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, stared at the bottom, and his fingers pinching the wall were almost white.

I had already realized something in my heart, and turned my head and looked down the city tower.

Before the ordinary people under the city tower could stand up, they were covered in darkness, as if they were endlessly dark under the night sky, but Pei Yuanhao's eyes were staring in the distance, as if a pair of hands were about to stick out from his eyes and hold the person who made him lose his mind.

Just then, the crowd suddenly became in chaos.

Suddenly, many people appeared from all directions and rushed towards where Pei Yuanhao's eyes were. It was the road to the western suburbs. The crowd was crowded and airtight, but those people were still rushing over, as if they were eager to catch something.

"What's going on?"

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

"Catch them!"

The noisy sound rang from a distance, and I heard something that seemed to be arrested. The people on the road didn't know what they had. But when they saw the posture of these people, they realized that it was the official who was arresting people. They hurriedly retreated to the side, and the crowd suddenly became a mess.

The officials were a little angry and frowned and were about to say something, but I saw the familiar blurred figure in the crowd in the distance, and my face changed immediately.

"Beware of the assassin!"

No, not an assassin!

Those people were not going to come over at all, but after the chaos was in chaos, they were going to leave in the opposite direction!

The panicked crowd was like a surging tide, which was so chaotic that it was about to overturn the entire Yangzhou. In the chaotic crowd, I suddenly saw a figure. Although there was panic around, she was always spotless and as awe-inspiring as a fairy. Even if the night was deep, it could not take away any of her glory among so many people!

Her beauty cannot be erased by time and distance.

It was clearly so far away that I seemed to clearly see her retreating while being protected by the people around me, and turning her head and looking at the man on the city tower.

When the eyes meet, there is an indescribable spark.

When Pei Yuanhao saw the figure, he immediately pressed his hand holding the wall with force, and almost pinched his fingertips into the stone.

The Yulin Guard in the crowd had already started and ran towards the other side despite the crowd. The people already knew something had happened. Some had experienced the assassin's attack more than a year ago. They were afraid of causing trouble. They screamed and retreated, but some of them could not retreat, which caused the Yulin Guard to obstruct, and the city tower was suddenly in chaos.

I seemed to see that night more than a year ago.

The difference is that this time there were no fireworks, no swords and shadows. I stood on the city tower, and the one who looked at him was another woman.

The woman who is truly in his heart.
