It gets dark very early in the capital in winter. It has just turned around and the sky has already turned completely dark. The carriage left Shangyang Palace and drove all the way to the Taishi Mansion. Along the way, you can hear the cold wind blowing outside, mixed with the icy cold.

From time to time, the curtains are lifted and blown into the carriage, adding a bit of chill to the dull atmosphere inside.

However, it is not as good as the aura exuding from the man sitting opposite me at this moment.

Although his temper has always been bad, he should not be angry tonight, but I don’t know where this aura comes from. Since returning to Beijing, I have been cautious and will not provoke him at this time.

So it was quiet along the way, and I didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. After the carriage traveled for a while, the surroundings became more and more quiet. I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the horseman outside the flying curtain.

A man walking alongside a carriage.

Yang Yunhui.

His face is not very pretty either.

Ever since I knew that I was going to attend a banquet at the Grand Master's Mansion, he had been blocking me. Because I had been running between Yonghe Palace and Shangyang Palace in the past few days, I basically didn't hear any outside sounds. It was also because of him that I understood that Pei

Yuan Hao's current situation in the court can be called dangerous.

The return of the Grand Master to the court threw the already clear situation into chaos again. The Crown Prince and Taibao were in line with them, and Shen Gongyi had no place to use him. What made Yang Yunhui even more worried was Chang Qing, the number one in the Celestial Dynasty.

The warrior's prestige in the army was not low before. Now that he has returned to the imperial city, most of the people in the army are quite involved with him. In addition, after this month is over, the protection of the nine gates will be handed over to Pei Yuanfeng.

This is even worse for them.

And tonight’s banquet seems to have an even deeper meaning.

Since ancient times, there has been no good banquet.

Pei Yuanhao even refused Yang Yunhui's request to transfer people from the Imperial Guard, and only brought me and him, as well as a few retinues to the banquet. This was almost a solo trip, but he didn't know this person.

Where do you get such courage?

After a while, the carriage stopped outside Taishifu.

When we got off the carriage, we saw two huge stone lions standing ferociously in front of the tall and wide gate. There were red lanterns swaying in the wind everywhere on the porch, but the red color made people uncomfortable, as if

The white gauze was soaked in blood. I stood in the wind and shivered slightly.

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me and whispered: "You are not allowed to leave me for a while."

"..." I looked up at him and nodded gently: "Yes."

At this time, the concierge had already come out. After kneeling down, he led a group of us into the Taishi Mansion. Just after we passed the garden, we saw that the sky in front of us was illuminated, and the sound of drums and music resounded through the night sky.

, it was very lively. Turning around the corridor in front, a huge stage appeared in front of you.

The stage has already been set up with all kinds of canvas tables and chairs. The show has not started yet. There are only a few little monkeys doing somersaults on the stage to warm up. But people below are already cheering. When I turned around, I saw the stage.

At the other end of the building is a two-story attic, with maids coming and going below to deliver things. On the second floor, brocade seats for watching theater have been arranged.
