As soon as Pei Ji said something, Li Xiu's face changed, but then he calmed down and said: "Pei Gong is the confidant of the Supreme Emperor. It is normal for him to know the Supreme Emperor's worries. However, I don't often go to the Supreme Emperor, so I don't know what the Supreme Emperor has?"

It’s not that Li Xiu was too cautious, but that the fact that Li Yuan asked him was of great importance. Even he would be involved in something bad, so Li Xiu had never told Princess Pingyang that he would not let go easily in the face of Pei Ji’s temptation.

What Li Xiu did not expect was that when Pei Ji heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "Hehe, this is true. The Supreme Emperor has never liked to tell others too much about his thoughts. It is not surprising that the prince consort doesn't know it, but I know one or two, and even want to help him fulfill his last wish. It's a pity that I don't have this ability!"

Hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel silent. He thought that Pei Ji would directly point out the topic after testing him, but he didn't expect that Pei Ji did not ask him, but instead expressed his own feelings. Isn't this really like Pei Ji's usual style?

"By the way, I heard you say that the princess is happy just now. This is a great joy. I am here to congratulate the prince-consort first!" After Pei Ji expressed his feelings, he seemed not to want to get involved in this matter, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

However, Li Xiu felt that Pei Ji's previous words were strange everywhere. Although he was perfunctory in his mouth, he kept thinking about the deep meaning of Pei Ji's words in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt strange. Pei Ji knew that Li Yuan wanted to meet Li Chengdao and others before his death. After all, he was Li Yuan's closest person. Some things may be hidden from his children, but he will never hide from Pei Ji.

However, even if Pei Ji knew about this, it would be difficult for him to help. After all, Pei Ji had retired from the court for many years. Although he still had some connections in the court, Li Yuan, who could implicate the nine tribes, was not something that ordinary people dared to touch, so Pei Ji probably couldn't help much. It was precisely because of this that he just stated that he was willing to provide help, and it was really unnecessary for him to express his willingness to provide help.

Thinking of the above incident in his mind, Li Xiu seemed a little absent-minded, and Pei Ji did not seem to notice Li Xiu's abnormality. He still chatted with him one by one, and finally he was a little irrelevant. From the child Li Xiu was about to be born, he actually talked about the changes in Chang'an City over the years.

"By the way, Chang'an City has become more and more lively in recent years, especially the more Hu people in the city. However, many Hu people do not recognize the laws of our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, there are rumors of Hu people's illegality, especially those foreign monks, who use any means to develop believers. Some time ago, the court also vigorously cracked down on these foreign monks. I heard that many people were arrested at once, and a few of them were killed directly. Most of them were expelled from the country and would never enter the Tang Dynasty again!" Pei Ji spoke again at this time.

"I have heard of this. Speaking of it, it's not once or twice that the monks have caused trouble. The court should have vigorously rectified it. At that time, I remember that we had seen through a monk's trick with Fu Yi." Li Xiu also said casually. When Li Yuan was imprisoned, Li Xiu and Pei Ji entered the palace to see Li Yuan. As a result, he met a monk pretending to be a ghost on Zhuque Street. This incident left a deep impression on Li Xiu, so he remembered it very clearly.

"Yes, when it comes to that monk, he has some real skills. He can actually use a unique drug that makes people feel unpleasant and breathe without any breathing. He looks like a dead person. I wonder if the prince consort still remembers it?" Pei Ji asked with a smile again at this time.

"Of course I remember that in order to capture the monk, a guard next to me was fascinated by him. He was indeed like a dead person at that time, but later he found the antidote from the monk, and only the medicine powder was blown into the nostrils of the unconscious person, so that people could wake up." Li Xiu also smiled at this time. The person who handled this matter was Lao Qiu in the Jinwu Guard, who was also considered an old acquaintance of Li Xiu. It was him who helped to find the medicine to understand the medicine from the monk.

"So that's it, but I remember that the prince-consort once asked someone to interrogate this monk and took away his prescription for his dessert?" Pei Ji asked again at this time, and after saying that, someone else looked at Li Xiu meaningfully.

"That's true. I think this drug is so powerful, it's somewhat similar to the legendary Mafei San of Hua Tuo, so I also want to use it in medical skills, so I asked for the drug prescription... Hum?"

When Li Xiu spoke at the end, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He immediately looked at Pei Ji with some vigilance, and at the same time his mind turned rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to guess the deep meaning of Pei Ji's words, but this also shocked him, and dense beads of sweat immediately surged out of his forehead. He really didn't expect that Pei Ji was so brave that he came up with such an idea.

"Hehe, the prince-consort is indeed far-sighted. I am very interested in this kind of drug. I wonder if the prince-consort can give me the prescription?" Pei Ji suddenly smiled at this time, and his tone of speaking was very calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing.

"This...I..." Li Xiu always felt that he was not very brave, but he was very scared at this time. If it was as he had guessed, then Pei Ji's idea would be a bit too crazy and too bold. Even he didn't dare to think about it, let alone implement it.

Seeing Li Xiu sweating and hesitating, Pei Ji seemed very calm. He even picked up the teacup and sipped it, and then slowly savored the fragrance in the tea. However, Li Xiu's face was unstable and he had no reaction for a long time.

"The prince consort is just a prescription, you don't have to worry too much. Speaking of which, I am old and quite interested in the matter of cultivating and refining alchemy. Although the monk used this prescription to harm one prescription, it might be used for alchemy, so the prince consort should not be too stingy!" After a while, Pei Ji suddenly spoke again, and patted Li Xiu on the shoulder, but the smile on his face seemed a little playful. It was probably the first time he had seen Li Xiu lose his composure.

Li Xiu, who was struggling, was finally woken up by Pei Ji. He took a long breath, as if he was trying to calm himself down. Then he looked up at Pei Ji, but finally he suddenly smiled bitterly again: "Mr. Pei, can I consider this matter?"
