The South Sky Tea House had already broken out of its depression after the encirclement and annihilation the last time. Upon entering, they were met with a sense of desolation.

Stepping on the fallen leaves that he had not swept away for a long time, the veins in the leaves began to crack, issuing a slight sound of rebuttal. And such a small sound, in the silent and ice-cold night, seemed extremely ear-splitting.

Pei Ruochen only took two steps before she stopped again. He calmly looked around and saw shadows floating on the trees under the eaves and behind the pillars. It was obvious that they were surrounded by people.

Pei Ruochen stood in silence, her whole body's energy gathering. Her wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, as she vigilantly and leisurely looked at the lit hall in front of her.

"Show yourself." He lowered his voice and said, "What exactly do you want?"

The door to the shop was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a shopkeeper's gown stood in the lintel, glaring at him. It was Chief Eunuch.

"I was deceived by your disguise last time. I didn't expect this sovereign to be such a handsome person." Chief You smiled and complimented him frankly.

However, his laughter was filled with praise. In this situation, it was more frightening than any abuse.

Pei Ruochen did not bat an eyelid and calmly said, "You are too polite, Supervisor You are too kind." In terms of elegance, how could it be compared to your Young Lord, Young Master Liu? "

Supervisor You's face changed, but calmed down soon after. "You already know that we are from the Liu Family. Why haven't you come to pay respect to your master?"

"What a joke, my master only has one. He is the emperor of the imperial court, the king that tens of thousands of people revere. How can he be one of the people of Xiao Lao, who don't even dare to see the light of day?" Pei Ruochen spoke with disdain, "A bunch of cowards who only know how to kidnap weak girls."

"You don't have to provoke me." Chief You was unmoved and said, "It is indeed not good to use weak women, but what kind of person are you? Initially, when you personally came to the imperial workshop to buy shoes, we thought that you were buying shoes for Princess Lu and that you wanted to capture the princess to threaten He Lan Chun – we never thought that you would actually gift shoes for an unrelated woman. If our investigation is not wrong, she seems to be the princess concubine that Helan Xue Xiu gave away.

"Why did you catch her when you knew you had the wrong person?" Pei Ruochen asked with narrowed eyes. His voice was dark and filled with killing intent.

"What about you? You are clearly an unrelated woman, so how could you risk your life for her? " asked the supervisor, narrowing his eyes with interest.

"He Lan Xue handed her to me. I am naturally responsible for her safety."

"What a great Prime Minister, the current Prince Consort!" Supervisor You laughed contemptuously, "Why don't you go and take a look at the face your father had when he sold himself for glory?"

"A good bird chooses a tree to live on. Back then, Madam Xi was abnormally brutal and angered both humans and gods. Father's decision was not wrong." Could it be that being a villain is the so-called loyalty? " Pei Ruochen retorted lightly before returning to the main topic at hand, "Where is she? Since I have come, we will settle the grudge between the Pei Family and the Liu Family freely. Let her go first. "

"Let her go? "Don't tell me that we have to be like last time, where we were once again surrounded and annihilated by you guys, and lost another hundred of our brothers!" Supervisor You's expression turned solemn as the tree shadows swayed in the air. Those who were hiding in various places were affected, causing their killing intent to dissipate. Pei Ruochen, who was standing in the middle of the killing intent, immediately felt a suffocating aura.

It was ready to explode at any moment.

But her lover, where is he now?

She rubbed her temples and looked at the scene in front of her with confusion.

Under the dim light, a young man was sitting by the window. His clothes were bright, but it was dark. The dim lights were warm, but they couldn't touch his clothes.

Just like the gaze he shot out of the window at this moment, those beautiful eyes were only grey. No color, no light.

The young man slowly turned around and faced her. "You're awake?"

"Ugh." Her lover nodded and was about to walk over to him, but she took a step and fell down again.

"The medicinal properties of the soft tendons in your body have yet to dissipate. You don't have to waste your time." Hearing the sound of her falling to the ground, the youth laughed contemptuously. "This is a lesson to you. I'm telling you not to casually eat food of unknown origins next time."

"I didn't know that people can hurt people."

When the youth heard this, his face changed. "What did you say? You said I'm not human?"

I have a hundred taels of silver with me, you can take them all." I just hope that you will learn from now on and not do anything evil. Don't worry, I won't report you to the government. Everyone has no other choice. If they can, who would be willing to become both a thief and a bandit?

Her lover remembered the last time they had entered the palace to steal.

You!" The youth seemed to be easily angered. His wife's few words had angered him to the point that his face turned white. "You dare say I'm a thief. A thief, the thief shall be executed, and the thief shall take the dukedom." He stood up and took a few steps towards where his wife was, "Even so, a woman like you who doesn't know anything, a trash who spends her days in the Prince's Mansion, what qualifications do you have to talk about me? You are not a thief, you are a worm, you are not even a thief!

Her lover did not understand why he was so agitated. She only felt that his handsome and pale face was contorted into a state of intense distress.

"I am a worm, but I have never eaten your food. "Why do you hate me so much?" Since the last time he had tried to kill her, she had sensed his emotions.

This youth was extremely, extremely disgusted with himself as a trash.

"Why should I hate you?" The youth was stunned, then his face darkened as he said coldly, "You are clearly healthy and healthy, yet you waste your life. Isn't such a person worth hating?"

Her lover blinked, suddenly understanding his reactions.

He must have wanted to do a lot of things, but he couldn't because of his eyes or some other illness. He then hated those who had the resources but did not know how to cherish them.

After thinking it through, she raised her head to look at the extremely arrogant and domineering young man in front of her. She felt pity for him.

He probably didn't even know the color of the sky.

He might not have known about those beautiful colors and things.

"Kneel down." After waiting for a while, she spoke gently.

"What tricks are you trying to pull!" The youth coldly snorted. He hadn't expected that such a weak girl wouldn't have any tricks up her sleeve. In the end, he still crouched down. Kneeling in front of her, her eyes dull and level.

She sat up with her fists clenched and only her ring finger extended, carefully touching the boy's right hand, which was resting on her knee.

That hand was slender and delicate, but it was as white as jade.

When the tips of his fingers touched him. Her lover felt a chill.

The youth's body was so cold.

However, the moment the cold air touched him, the youth immediately pulled his hand away. Just as he was about to angrily interrogate her, he heard a clear and melodious voice of a young girl, "Ya, my bamboo basket!"

The young man frowned, his rage growing stronger. Just as he was about to stand up, another voice rang out, this time a man's voice rang out, "Miss, please stop your beautiful footsteps. Do you know what kind of mistake you have committed?"

He couldn't help but pause for a moment as he tried to figure out what kind of trick she was playing. His unyielding ring finger reached over and touched his fingertip again, just like a shy and shy girl seeing an unfamiliar man: "This official, it was clearly your horse's hooves that kicked over my bamboo basket. Look at this wide path leading up to the blue sky, yet you let this damned beast splash mud all over me.

A gentle voice, almost like heavenly music.

Then, with her other hand, she seized the boy's right hand, which was no longer dodging, and, also curling his ring finger, she tapped her own finger with it, like a scholar shaking his head: "Your mistake is that you are as beautiful as a fairy, your graceful posture makes my hand uncontrollable, your fluffy black hair fills my eyes, I can't see the road, it's just pitch black; your clear cheeks are overturned by the beast beneath me, and you forget the majesty of his master."

Although her voice was soft and tender, it had a serious tone to it that made people feel happy.

The youth was distracted for a moment and allowed her to hold his hand to finish her sentence. However, his face darkened as he fiercely retracted his hand. He then stood up and took a step back in panic, "How dare you!"

Her lover was dragged along by his movements and heavily fell back to the ground. There was not a single complaint on her face, but she looked at the youth and said softly: "It's a beautiful line, isn't it? "As long as you put your heart into it, your voice can actually be as beautiful as a painting."

"Boring!" The youth was slightly startled, then without any trace of politeness, he flicked his sleeve and left.

It was just that his steps were unsteady, almost like he was fleeing.

Outside the lobby, the conversation continued.

Chief You laughed and said, "The He Lan family has He Lan Xue, Wu He Lan Qin, and only He Lan Chun is neither civil nor martial. He's actually become the emperor. It can be seen that the He Lan family is about to die."

"How can someone like you understand the wisdom of our Lord?" Pei Ruochen replied with a sneer.

"Yes, I almost forgot. He Lan Chun was lifted up by your Pei Family." Chief You smacked his lips, and squinted at Pei Ruochen, "Your sister is now He Lan Chun's favorite concubine. He has a close relationship with your Pei family."

Pei Ruochen pursed her lips as she observed the surroundings carefully. He did not answer.

"Young Master Pei, tell me, if He Lan Xue finds out, the person he entrusted to you would be sent to the army camp to be a slave. "Would he be suspicious of your Pei Family and stop listening to He Lan Chun's orders?" Seeing that Pei Ruochen's expression was indifferent, Supervisor You suddenly thought of a great idea. His eyes revealed a teasing look, "To be able to write a poem at the age of five, to end the case at the age of twelve, and become the youngest messenger of the court at the age of seventeen, to have the qualifications to shock everyone. He should have the ability to compete with He Lan Chun, right?"

Indeed, Pei Ruochen was touched by these words. Her usually gentle and calm eyes were finally restrained.
