What is Liu Li going to do?

Seeing me looking at him with confusion, Pei Yuanhao said nothing. However, Eunuch Yu next to him came up and said carefully: "Miss Qing, today is Master Liu's return."

"Return to disaster?"

Only then did I remember that people in the Central Plains still have the custom of burning seven and returning to disaster. That is, within forty-nine days after a person's death, the person's soul will return home once. A wise monk or Taoist priest can calculate the accurate time.

, family members arrange incense, candles, wine and food at home, so that the deceased can stay at home for a moment longer.

It turns out that today is Liu Yi's "day of retribution", so I asked: "Will Liu Zhaoyi do the dojo there?"

Eunuch Yu shook his head: "This is not Mr. Liu's home after all."

That's right, Liu Yi was sent south, and when he was assassinated, he actually died in a foreign land. His residence was not considered his home, and there was no explanation for where he returned.

"Then Liu Zhaoyi is——"

"She plans to go to the temple." Pei Yuanhao said calmly.

"Oh."

There is a saying that people who die in a foreign land will not be able to find their home when they return home, but asking the monks in the temple to perform rituals can help them find their home. Speaking of which, the palace is actually not allowed to do this.

But in Yangzhou, Liu Yi died in the line of duty, and Liu Zhaoyi did this, but Pei Yuanhao had nothing to say.

Pei Yuanhao asked: "Are they going now?"

"Back to the emperor, Zhaoyi is ready to go."

"Hmm."

I looked at Pei Yuanhao, walked over and said softly: "Is the Emperor going?"

He pondered for a while and then said: "I didn't plan to go originally, but what you just said makes some sense -" He looked at me and said: "I should do something and show it to the people in the south.

”

A little smile appeared on my face.

The situation in Yangzhou is still tense now. It can be said that we are waiting for the people on Yaolao's side to make a choice, but for a person like Pei Yuanhao, he must not want to have all the options.

Taking advantage of this moment to do something in the hands of others, whether it is to win people's hearts or to give him kindness and power, it will only be good for him.

"Forget it, let's go today." He said: "The father and his son have really worked hard in the south."

As he spoke, he walked outside. After taking two steps, he stopped and looked back at me: "Qingying, why don't you go with me."

I thought about it and said with a smile: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Liu Zhaoyi doesn't want to see you."

Pei Yuanhao said: "No problem, you can follow Yuquan. Speaking of which, you and Liu Yi are kindred spirits. I believe he will be happy to see you."

I looked at him without saying anything.

I had a night party with Liu Yi before. I didn’t tell anyone about it, but he may not know it. But speaking of it, Liu Yi and I are indeed close friends. If I can’t go there in person, I hope to be there. I sent him a message in my heart. Since Pei Yuanhao said so, I said: "Okay. I will go with you."

After saying that, he walked out. Eunuch Yu hurriedly walked in front of me. As soon as he left the south chamber, he saw Liu Zhaoyi's large formation in front, and several carriages had been prepared outside the gate of the state capital.

As soon as she saw Pei Yuanhao coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "I pay my respects to the emperor."

"Get up."

Pei Yuanhao helped her stand up. Her originally beautiful face became thinner and her whole body looked haggard. Pei Yuanhao said softly: "Are you all ready?"

"On behalf of my brother, I would like to thank the emperor for your kindness."

"Don't say that. Liu Qing is also my humerus minister. I am very sorry to lose him." Pei Yuanhao said, gently holding her in his arms: "I will accompany you there today."< /p>

Liu Zhaoyi was startled, stared blankly at Pei Yuanhao with wide eyes, and suddenly knelt in front of him: "I thank the emperor for your kindness!"

Pei Yuanhao stretched out his hand to help her up, looked at her red eyes, patted her hand gently, and led her out.

Eunuch Yu had been watching from the side, looking at Pei Yuanhao and Liu Zhaoyi, and also looking at my face. At this time, he walked carefully in front of me and said softly: "Miss Qing, it's time to go."

"Ah...oh."

I nodded and walked out with him without saying anything.

After just two steps, Liu Li followed Pei Yuanhao out of the door. The moment she walked out, she turned back, and as soon as I raised my head, my eyes met hers.

There seemed to be a kind of chill in those beautiful eyes. Although they were so far apart, it seemed to seep into my heart.

I suddenly froze.

Eunuch Yu walked for a while, turned around and saw me frozen in place, and hurried back: "Miss Qing? What's wrong with you?"

"..." I suddenly came back to my senses, and Liu Li had already turned around and walked out.

"No, it's okay."

"If you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave. The carriage is still waiting outside."

"Oh."

I hurriedly followed him out. At this time, the emperor and Liu Zhaoyi had already boarded the carriage in front. Eunuch Yu sent me to a small carriage in the back. He stood beside me and told the driver to pay attention. I raised the curtain and looked at the guards following on both sides. , seems to be more than ever before, and the formation also seems a bit big.

There were already some people watching on the roadside, but they were all stopped three feet away by the guards of the state capital. The noisy sound spread from the long street, and someone could faintly be heard talking about it——

"Master Liu is such a good official, what a pity!"

"The Emperor is so kind to Mr. Liu."

"I heard that before Mr. Liu left, he was still urging the emperor to abolish his untouchable status. Is it true that the emperor came this time..."

I slowly calmed down as I listened. Anyway, he has already made such a decision in his heart. No matter how difficult things are and how dangerous the road is, as long as he makes up his mind, he will definitely be able to go on and get there!

Just as I was thinking about it, Eunuch Yu trotted over with a cushion in his arms, handed it to me and said, "Miss Qing, this is given to you by the emperor."

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw Eunuch Yu's smiling face, almost blind: "The emperor knew that your carriage was not good, so he specially gave it to you."

This carriage is indeed very simple, with only bare wooden boards to sit on. It's not that big of a deal when you first get on it. It will inevitably bump and feel uncomfortable if you bump around in it for a long time. He actually thought of it - I took the cushion and held it in my arms.

Eunuch Yu looked at me with a smile, his face turned red, and he immediately lowered the curtain.

With that cushion, it really wasn't that uncomfortable. There was no one else in this small carriage, so I felt relaxed and at ease. From time to time, I raised the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

But as I looked at it, I felt something was wrong.

The carriage headed west, passing through several forked roads, but did not go to the temple in the city, but went straight out of the city gate.

Suddenly, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I hurriedly raised the curtain. Eunuch Yu was walking outside. I asked, "Eunuch Yu, which temple are we going to perform rituals for Mr. Liu today?"

Mr. Yu said: "You still don't know, Hongye Temple."

"What?!"

I was shocked, and my whole body suddenly trembled: "Hongye Temple?!"

Eunuch Yu was a little confused as to why I was so surprised, so he said: "Liu Zhaoyi made arrangements a long time ago. Speaking of which, Hongye Temple has a close relationship with Mr. Liu, so he chose that place. It's far away - Miss Qing, you

What's wrong?"

Although I couldn't see my face, I knew that my face must have turned pale.

Hongye Temple!

Hongye Temple!

That was a stronghold of those assassins in the south, and Yao Lao and Nangong Lizhu were both there!

If Pei Yuanhao goes there today, what will the people there do? Will they think that the emperor is suddenly going to attack them? If so, then the misunderstanding will be huge. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that before

All your efforts will be in vain!

More importantly, Nangong Lizhu!

If Pei Yuanhao saw her——

"Stop - stop!" I stretched out my hand and opened the curtain with a cry, my voice was trembling, and said: "Stop!"

"Miss Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Eunuch Yu was also surprised when he looked at me. He came over and whispered: "You can't stop this at any time. Miss Qing, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage really stopped.

I was still too shocked to react, but I heard a loud noise in front of me, as if someone had blocked the carriage. All the guards immediately became alert and rushed forward, leaving only a group of people to guard the carriage.

Everyone around them became wary.

What's wrong?

I was startled, and hurriedly looked forward, but the carriages and people in front were all crowded together, and I couldn't see clearly what was going on. Eunuch Yu walked up immediately, shouting as he walked: "

Get out of the way!”

Soon, his figure disappeared into the crowd.

The noise in front became louder and louder, until Eunuch Yu's face turned pale and he stumbled out of the front. When he arrived outside Pei Yuanhao's carriage and said something through the curtain, the familiar figure immediately jumped down from the carriage.

, walked forward quickly.

What happened?

The uneasiness in my heart is getting worse and worse. My heart seems to be squeezed tightly by an unknown black hand, and I can't even breathe anymore.

I struggled and got out of the carriage, but when I got off, I stumbled and fell ugly to the ground.

Shuixiu didn't follow, and everyone around me was paying attention to the front. I felt like my knees were worn out, so I could only grit my teeth and stand up and walk forward.

After finally squeezing into the crowd, the tall guards felt something when they saw me, and they all moved aside, and soon I walked behind Pei Yuanhao.

The tall figure in front of me was originally like a mountain, but at this moment, it was trembling as if it was about to collapse.

It took a long time before I heard his deep voice. I don’t know why, maybe because I was standing behind me, but this voice seemed to come directly from my heart, which made my heart palpitate——

"Is it you?"

Who is it? My breathing became tighter and tighter, and I could hardly continue. I slowly took a step forward, and saw a familiar, almost perfect face in front of him.
