    "Let's open it."

    After a period of silence, someone behind the door said something low.

    Although Jiafu had just guessed who might be inside the door, she was still surprised when she actually heard the familiar voice coming from behind the door at this moment.

    It is the end of the year, and the internal affairs of the imperial court are complicated, and the external affairs are even more complicated.  Starting half a month ago, when the Pei family was immersed in the mourning of the Dowager, many vassal countries, such as Goryeo, Annan, Champa, Liuqiu and other countries, either chiefs, princes, or envoys, came one after another.  At this time, people came to Beijing to congratulate him. In addition, envoys from Mengmu, Uzang and other places also came one after another.  Honglu Temple received him, and the Ministry of Rites arranged interviews and banquets every day. You can imagine how busy the emperor was every day.

    But at this moment, she heard the voice coming from behind the door clearly. It was exactly as she thought, it was Emperor Xiao Lie.

    Pei Youan was even more surprised than she was.

    The moment he heard the sound, his hand holding the sword suddenly stopped.

    After the words fell, there was a slight "squeak" sound as the door pivot opened, and the double doors on the opposite side slowly opened. Eunuch Li Yuangui stood behind the threshold and whispered: "Master Pei, the Holy Lord is here, you must not  rude."

    Pei Youan's gaze passed over Li Yuangui's head and fell on the figure standing in the middle of the snow.

    The man was wearing a cloak, and was completely covered by darkness from head to toe. He remained motionless at first, like a statue. Then slowly, he raised his arms and took off the cap that covered his head, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.  ,

    The clear face showed a faint bluish-white color under the snowy light, and the eyebrows became more and more black, and the eyes flickered slightly in the night.

    Pei You'an immediately sheathed his sword and knelt down with his head towards the door: "I bow to you, Long Live. I didn't know that Long Live was here. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me!"

    Jiafu also followed Pei Youan and knelt on the snow.

    Li Yuangui had already turned sideways and stepped aside.

    Xiao Lie said: "He who doesn't know is not guilty. You two should get up."

    Pei Youan thanked him and got up with Jia Fu.  For a moment, the two people inside the door and the two people outside the door fell silent across the threshold. The atmosphere suddenly became strange. After a while, Pei You'an suddenly said: "I am here during the day to deal with the basic hall."  He fell into a dead tree to avoid overturning and damaging the ancestral lotus platform enshrined in it. Because it was getting late and it was inconvenient to go down the mountain, he and his wife temporarily stayed in the temple for the night. Just then, they had no sleep, so they came with their wives to pay homage to their aunt. Unexpectedly, they disturbed Long Live.  It¡¯s strange, it¡¯s really a blessing for me.¡±

    His tone was full of respect, and he explained to the emperor why he brought his wife here at this time. After speaking, he cast his eyes on the emperor.

    This courtyard was the place where Pei Wenjing died after being seriously ill. Since the reign of King Shun'an, it has been gradually abandoned and has almost become the private place of the Pei family. Except during sacrifices, the Pei family takes the lead to come to pay homage all year round.  , a rare outsider.

    Tonight, Pei Youan and his wife came here to pay their respects to their aunt, which was only natural. However, at midnight, the current emperor actually appeared here, and his whereabouts were so secretive.

    The meaning behind Pei You'an's words is ready to come out.

    The emperor remained silent.

    The atmosphere became strange again. For Jiafu, who knew the inside story secretly, she even seemed to faintly feel the embarrassment coming from the emperor.

    ??Jiafu quietly glanced at the figure blocked in the door, hesitated for a moment, bowed towards the door, broke the silence, and said softly: "It is inconvenient for me to stay, so please leave first"

    The emperor coughed slightly, and Li Yuangui spoke at the side and said: "Mrs. Pei took great care of Long Live. Now that the immortal has passed away, Long Live is deeply saddened. A few days ago, he deliberately came to pay a private sacrifice. It was just a daily matter. There are so many things.  , I didn¡¯t have a moment to spare, so I was able to leave the palace tonight. I just arrived at the temple, and I thought about the friendship I had with Mr. Pei¡¯s aunt Wucai when I was young, and I felt it for a moment, so I stopped by to pay my respects. "

    Jiafu glanced at Pei Youan quietly.

    His expression was as usual, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment. He only lowered his eyes slightly and said respectfully: "Long live the trouble. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

    He bowed to the emperor, then retreated with Jia Fu until he was seven or eight steps away. Then he turned around and left with Jia Fu.

    Jia Fu walked with Pei You'an, not daring to look back, but she could clearly feel that Xiao Lie's eyes seemed to be always on their backs.

    "You'an, you stay here, I have something else to say!"

    After walking dozens of steps, and when he was about to turn the corridor, the emperor's voice suddenly came from behind him again.

    Pei Youan stopped.He took a step and slowly turned around.

    Li Yuangui had already walked out quickly, came to the side of the two of them, and said to Jia Fu: "Long live I have something to say to Mr. Pei. Madam, please wait here. I will accompany you first."

    His tone was extremely respectful.

    Jiafu said hurriedly: "You're welcome, father-in-law. I'll just wait."

    Although Li Yuangui was an eunuch, Pei Youan knew that when he was young, he was also skilled in bow and horse. He looked at the shadow standing inside the courtyard gate in front of him, pondered for a moment, said "Excuse me" to Li Yuangui, then turned around and stepped forward  And enter.

    It was cold and snowy in the deserted garden, the sky was frozen and the earth was closed. The emperor stood in the middle of the snow with his hands behind his hands, his expression stagnant.

    Pei Youan knelt down to the man in front of him again and kowtowed: "Long live, what are your orders?"

    Xiao Lie seemed to have come back to his senses.

    "You come with me." He said, turned around and walked in the snow, opened the door and entered.

    Pei Youan stared at the back of the person in front of him, stood up from the ground, followed him in, and closed the door.

    The doors and windows in the house were closed, the light was dim, the air was unusually cold, and a faint smell of dust and rot filled the nose.

    Pei Youan stood by the door, watching the emperor slowly walk in front of a table, raised his hand, and ran his fingers across the table, as if he was lost in some kind of thought.

    He stopped speaking and just watched quietly.

    "You'an, you have been away on errands for me, and there is a funeral when you return to Beijing. There is something that you probably don't know yet."

    The emperor finally spoke, with a calm tone: "I am determined to accept the princesses of Goryeo and Annan into the palace, and according to the advice of the Ministry of Rites, we will start picking girls in the spring to fill the harem."

    In addition to paying tribute, the two countries of Korea and Annan also came with the envoys, expressing their willingness to offer marriage to the emperor of the Wei Dynasty. The other envoys also had beautiful women in varying numbers.  The Ministry of Rites proposed that His Majesty the Emperor's harem has only one person in the harem so far, which is different from the past. According to the system, the harem should be filled to support the emperor.

    "It is said in the Book of Rites that the emperor should establish six palaces. This is related to the body of a country. Long live the Holy Ming." Pei You'an said respectfully.

    The emperor was silent for a moment and then said: "Li Yuangui just now hid something from me. I thought that since we met here, it must be God's will, so there is no harm in telling you. I came here tonight with the intention of paying my respects to your aunt.  I just never expected to meet you and your wife here."

    He walked slowly to the window, stood with his back to Pei Youan, and stood facing the window for a moment.

    "Your aunt and I were childhood sweethearts, but fate didn't work out and we were forced to marry each other. She had a noble character, but she was jealous of her beauty. Unfortunately, she died here at a young age"

    "You'an, if I told you that your aunt's death was all caused by me and was my fault, would you hate me?"

    The emperor's emotions seemed to be suddenly uncontrollable, his voice trembled slightly, and he turned around suddenly.

    Pei You'an's figure froze, but soon he seemed to react. He hesitated and said cautiously: "Long live words are serious. Even if it is true as long live said, long live must have been an unintentional mistake. My aunt has a spirit in heaven. If you forgive me,  Forgive me for what happened before, how dare you, An, dare to talk about right and wrong?"

    The emperor looked at Pei You'an for a long time, and his emotions finally seemed to calm down. He nodded and spoke again, his voice much calmer.

    The emperor said: "At this moment tonight, I regard you as a nephew, not as a king or minister, so I would like to mention a few old stories to you. To tell you the truth, because of your aunt's death, I have been  If there is a prick in my heart, I will not be able to forgive myself even until I die. I am slightly relieved to have such kind words from you. In the matter of Jingxiang, you stopped fighting and promoted benevolence. You had unique insight and handled it extremely well. Please help me  The overall situation has been stabilized. Now that the old lady has passed away unfortunately, I know that you must be grieving hard. Over the years, you have been running around for me without a moment of peace. I will send someone recommended by you to serve as the county guard on your behalf.  To appease the people and the land, you rest for a while and recuperate your body. After a while, I will use you according to the situation, how about you?"

    Pei You'an said respectfully: "I obey your order."

    The emperor added: "You'an, remember, no matter what happens to you in the future, I hope you won't hide it from me. Just ask, if I can respond, I will definitely respond to everything."

    Pei Youan thanked him again.

    The emperor stared at him in the dim snow light with extremely gentle eyes. He was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do here. It's freezing cold. Please take your wife back and rest early"

    At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from outside: "Who is it?" The voice seemed to come from Li Yuangui.

    "Long live your stay, I'll go and have a look!"

    Pei Youan opened the door and rushed outside. Under the moonlight, he saw a black figure like a night owl, rushing away in the snow.

    Li Yuangui had pulled out the waist knife he was carrying and was protecting Jia Fu. He quickly blew a sharp whistle and called the guards who had been left outside the mountain gate to come over to escort him. He turned around and saw Pei You'an running out, pointing at a few numbers.  A big tree stood ten steps away and said: "Master Pei! This assassin just hid in the tree!"

    The guards arrived quickly. Pei Youan ordered the guards to escort Jia Fu inside. He drew his sword and followed the two footprints left in the snow, and quickly chased after him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Gui had already pulled out the waist knife he was carrying and was protecting Jiafu.
