We stood in the pavilion for a long time, and Pei Yuanfeng's men came over and whispered a few words to him. Pei Yuanfeng nodded and turned to look at me again, seeming to be hesitant. I smiled softly and said: "You

Go and do your work."

"Then, I'll have someone bring you an umbrella."

"No, I want to stay a little longer. It won't be long until it rains."

He looked at me with a lonely smile and didn't say much. He just gave me a few words of advice and then turned around and left.

But this time I guessed wrong. It had been raining for a long time, and it formed a silver curtain in front of my eyes. It was almost dusk and it hadn't stopped yet, and I kept sitting in the pavilion looking at the vast mist in the center of the lake.

Countless raindrops fell on the lake, stirring up countless circles, as if the state of mind at this moment seemed quiet, but there were countless ripples.

The rain was blown to my face by the wind and soaked into my thin long skirt, bringing chills. Just when I gently held my cold arms and wanted to leave here, I turned my head and saw the other side of the stone bridge.

On the road at one end, a group of people came over.

It was Pei Yuanhao and his ministers. Someone was holding an umbrella for him behind him. Maybe it was because the sky was hazy, and his face looked bad. I stood up in a hurry and was about to go over, but my eyes suddenly fell on him.

On the person next to you.

Thank you, Shen Gong.

The old minister also turned his head at this moment, and glanced at me with his shrewd eyes hidden under his gray eyebrows.

My steps suddenly stopped.

I thought about it again and again but never passed. I just looked towards them from a distance.

When I raised my head again, they had turned around and left, leaving only their blurry silhouettes in the rain. Shen Gongye seemed to have followed him into the inner courtyard. I stood in the pavilion and thought for a long time, then turned towards

Go to the other side.

The prison in the state capital was not far from here. I walked over without an umbrella. When I arrived at the door of the prison, my hair was already covered with a layer of fine raindrops. When the guard saw me, he

He came over immediately: "What are you doing?"

"Brother, cell boss, I'm here to check on you."

"Who are you looking at? Are the people detained here free to look at you?"

"The King of Qi ordered me to come."

"Prince Qi?" The two of them looked at each other and immediately changed their faces: "Are you——Miss Yue?"

"Exactly."

I thought that after Pei Yuanfeng said hello, he would be able to go in smoothly. Unexpectedly, the two people looked at each other again, with a troubled look on their faces, and said: "Miss Yue, King Qi said hello. Logically speaking, we should also let him in."

You went in, but—the emperor had issued a decree early in the morning that no one was allowed to visit those people anymore."

I was surprised: "What? The emperor issued a decree?"

"Yes, Eunuch Yu personally came here to deliver the message."

I vaguely realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "What else did the emperor say?"

"The emperor also said that these assassins should be imprisoned and they will be publicly questioned and executed in three days, and the punishment will be given."

My face suddenly turned pale, and they smiled and said, "I hope you won't be in trouble, girl. If the emperor's decree is suppressed, it will be difficult for us to do it."

I will ask Zhan in three days. Will things really get into such an uncontrollable situation?

I was extremely anxious, but I had no other choice when facing these two cell leaders. I could only say, "Trouble with me, brothers. I won't go in and talk to them. Can you please let me see them?"

The two of them looked at me with some embarrassment, thought about it again, and finally nodded and said: "Well, I'll just let you take a look from a distance."

"Thank you."

They opened the door of the prison, and it was dark inside with almost no light. The long and dark stone steps led to an unknown and dark world. One of them turned on an oil lamp and helped me walk down carefully. Suddenly, a musty smell rushed over me.

It enters the nose and makes people very uncomfortable.

I walked down cautiously, and immediately saw the cage inside, which was densely surrounded by thick wooden fences. There were four or five people inside, unkempt, with injuries on their bodies, sitting numbly on the ground.

"Brother Mo...Brother Mo?"

I shouted carefully, Liu Yi told me that among the people captured was Mo Tieyi, who was at Huisheng Pharmacy, and he was the one I always wanted to see.

"Brother Mo, are you there? I am Qingying..."

My voice passed through the empty dungeon, making it seem more and more silent. The few people inside all had their heads lowered, their disheveled hair covering their faces. There was no sound at all, and no one responded to me.

"Girl, stop screaming." The prison guard holding the lantern said: "They have already ignored people. Besides, even if they agree to you, they can't let you go over and say anything."

Although I was reluctant to give up, I really had no choice but to look back at the dark cell again and again. I could only nod my head, turn around and walk out.

The dusk is getting darker, and the rain outside is getting heavier.

I didn't have an umbrella in my hand, and the lantern that the cell leader gave me had long been extinguished. I carried the extinguished lantern and walked slowly back to the door of the inner courtyard. Mr. Yu was explaining things under the eaves, and then turned around.

When he saw me for the first time, he immediately came over and said, "Miss Qing, what's going on?"

I said softly: "Eunuch Yu, I want to see the emperor."

He took a look inside and said awkwardly: "Miss Qing, you were here last night."

"...Your Majesty, you still refuse to see me?"

If you don't want to see me, then why did you come to my house to wait for me this morning? I said eagerly: "Eunuch Yu, please help me to pass the message, okay?"

"Miss Qing, please don't embarrass our family. You know the emperor's temper. Besides, Mr. Liu is dead. The emperor has serious things on his mind. If you offend him--"

I frowned and asked subconsciously: "Did the Grand Tutor say something to the Emperor?"

Eunuch Yu glanced at me, hesitated, pulled me aside, and said cautiously: "We might as well give you a break. The Taifu, together with several other adults, will advise the emperor before he can return to the capital and face the south."

The issue of abolishing untouchable status is temporarily shelved."

What?! The matter of abolishing untouchability should be shelved?!

My heart suddenly sank.

If this is really the case, then all his previous efforts will be in vain!

When I thought of this, I gritted my teeth, turned around and stood under the eaves. Eunuch Yu hurriedly came to pull me, so I said: "Eunuch Yu, the emperor only said that he would not see me, but did not say that he would not let me wait here. I will

Waiting here, when he comes out, it has nothing to do with you even if I bump into him."

Eunuch Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Miss Qing, the root of your illness has never been cured. You are like this-"

"It's okay."

"You——hey."

Seeing my determined look, he sighed, said nothing more, turned around and walked in, shaking his head.

Although what I said just now was strong, after standing for a while, my feet were already weak. Eunuch Yu was right. The root of the disease in my body has not been eliminated. The slightest change will lead to hidden diseases in the body and make me wet.

After such a long period of rain and the exhaustion of my mind, I knew something was wrong with my body.

My body felt chilly, but my breath was so hot that it almost burned my lips.

I wanted to sit down and have a rest, but my heart felt like it was being roasted by fire. I couldn't sit down quietly at all. I could only stand reluctantly holding on to the pillar next to me, looking at the dark scenery in front of me, and far away.

Yes, it is Liu Yi’s mourning hall.

The sound of chanting sutras and reciting the Buddha there has never stopped, as if it has been ringing in my ears since early in the morning. It is also this kind of sound that supports me.

No matter what, this is not only his ambition, but also Liu Yi's wish and Huang Tianba's dream.

After standing for a while, my body became more and more empty, and the hands holding the pillar were shaking. I finally couldn't hold on anymore, and I wanted to sit down with slight trembling, but as soon as I turned around, my body touched the person behind me.

Suddenly, I turned around and met those eyes that were shining even in the night.

I was stunned for a while.

When did he stand behind me, I didn’t notice it at all!

"Who asked you to stand here?"

He spoke coldly, looking at my weak look without even blinking: "Don't you understand what I said?"

"Your Majesty, I...I have something to say——"

Before I finished speaking, a violent dizziness suddenly hit me. I subconsciously stretched out my hand to hold on to something to support myself, but I suddenly grabbed the skirt of his clothes and pulled hard. He was shaken by my influence.

For a moment, he didn’t get angry, he just looked at me colder.

"Let go and go back!"

"Your Majesty..."

I bit my lower lip and let go of the shirt in my hand. Suddenly the world started spinning, and my whole body fell on its back like a puppet with its strings cut off.

I thought I would fall badly, but after a long time, the unexpected pain did not appear. I vaguely felt as if I was being picked up by someone. After a bump, a light appeared in front of my eyes.

She weakly opened her eyes and saw that she was being held in his arms and walking towards the house.

"Your Majesty..."

It seemed as if a stone had fallen in my heart. I reached out with trembling hands and grabbed the skirt of his chest. My dry and pale lips kept opening and closing, and I murmured: "Don't... don't kill those people. Never kill those people."

Don't..."

He frowned and looked at me without saying a word.

And I didn't know that my voice was like a mosquito whisper, even a gust of wind could blow it away, but I kept saying vaguely: "Don't... something big will happen..."

The door was kicked open by him and hit the wall, making a huge noise. I woke up a little and saw that I was carried into his house by him. Eunuch Yu had been waiting aside for a long time. At this time, I hurriedly stepped forward.

He came and said: "Your Majesty, would you like me to find the imperial doctor?"

He looked down at me and said solemnly: "No need."

"Ah? But——"

"I told you, there is no need to call for the imperial doctor!"
