Chapter 891 890 [Farewell today]

In the flower hall, the atmosphere was a little dull.

For so many years, Ye Qi and Shen Danmo have never dealt with each other. Although they have not reached the point of becoming tense, sparks bloom between their words every time they meet.

Pei Yue didn't understand the origin of this contradiction before, but when he was chasing Fang Yunhu above Qishui, Shen Danmo's paradoxical words made him understand.

The exchange of letters in the spring four years ago was still vivid in his mind, but because of Shen Danmo's special background and identity, Pei Yue never had Qinian. Although Ye Qi teased her many times later, he was always honest with her, and it was only afterward that he found out Ye Qi's vague jealousy is not groundless, it shows that women are naturally gifted with keen intuition in certain aspects.

Regardless of Pei Yue or Shen Danmo, these two equally talented young men and women knew in their hearts that as long as Silent Cloud was still in charge of Taishitai Pavilion, there would be no possibility between them.

What's more, the news of Pei Yue and Ye Gu's engagement has spread throughout Kyoto. How could a proud Shen Danmo be willing to be a concubine?

Those ignorant throbbings in youth may have flowed to the sea with the surging water, and they will rarely see waves for the rest of their lives.

They both have a transparent temperament that can be taken up and let go. Logically speaking, even if the atmosphere is not warm, the reunion today should be a scene of lively conversation. But since Shen Danmo sat down, there was a hint of Pei Yue and He in her eyes. Ye Qi couldn't understand the worry.

After a long time, she forced a smile and said to Pei Yue: "I deliberately walked around the city today to make sure no one noticed me before I came to the back alley. Then I asked Ye Qi to find you. I didn't want to disturb others."

The meaning of these words was somewhat meaningful. Pei Yue and Ye Qi looked at each other, and then asked with concern: "Does Master Shen have any instructions?"

Shen Danmo said: "My father said that after you return to Beijing, the manpower arranged by my family around the back alley will be removed."

Not only was Pei Yue shocked, but Ye Qi's expression changed slightly.

Pei Yue was initially very wary of Silent Cloud, especially after returning from Hengduan Mountain. Silent Cloud expressed his desire to protect Pei Rong, and the conversation between the two broke up on bad terms. This incident also caused Emperor Kaiping to Therefore, when Pei Yue went on an envoy to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he specifically asked Shen Moyun to hand over the Taige Dui Department to Pei Yue. From the beginning to the end, he did not have too much doubt about the relationship between the two.

When the war in the west ended, Pei Yue saw Pei Zhen resurrected from the dead on the island in the middle of the lake in Lingzhou, and then he understood the good intentions of Silent Cloud and his involuntary actions. The past events came to mind one by one, and Li Zijun invited to ambush Pei. Yue's Xiwu swordsman was captured, and evidence of the eldest prince's robbery of the Xiangyun was discovered. These seemingly internal affairs of Taishitai Pavilion actually gave Pei Yue great help.

From that time on, Pei Yue began to trust Silent Cloud, and finally told him that Chen Xizhi was still alive. At the same time, he also received assistance from Silent Cloud, and secretly trained experts were sent to help Pei Yue guard the back alleys of Qinyuan.

However, Shen Danmo now said that Silent Cloud would withdraw all these people.

Pei Yue was not reluctant to part with these masters. He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Did Mr. Shen encounter any trouble?"

Shen Danmo shook his head slightly and said with a hint of disappointment: "Dad didn't say it explicitly, but he asked me to convey a few words to you."

Pei Yue said seriously: "Please tell me."

Shen Danmo said slowly: "Wang Pingzhang suddenly sent people to Lingzhou. The real purpose is unknown. He probably wanted to find Chen Xizhi's grave. This matter involved the original Lingzhou Governor's Office, and some people in Taige were in Linzhou. Many people have seen Chen Xizhi in the fight under He He's command. But you don't have to worry, my father has already sent people to eliminate any further troubles in advance."

Pei Yue's brows wrinkled slightly, then relaxed again.

To this day, he has always performed his duty as a loyal minister with all his heart. Even if he ridiculed the stewards of the noble mansions outside Qinyuan today, he was still essentially playing the role of a young man who had been wronged and wanted to fight back. As for his role in Apart from Mr. Xi and Ye Qi, it is impossible for anyone in the world to see through the arrangement of the southern border.

The only troublesome hidden danger is that Chen Xizhi is still alive. If Emperor Kaiping knows this secret, it will indeed be a bit troublesome, but...

As if he had a tacit understanding, Shen Danmo continued: "My father said that compared to the problems you need to face now, whether Chen Xizhi is alive is not that important. If His Majesty wants to suppress you, he will not put the matter of Chen Xizhi on On the surface, because this involves an old case seventeen years ago, and you have already killed her once. If His Majesty wants to protect you, he will not care about Chen Xizhi's life or death."

Ye Qi glanced at the two of them, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he did not interrupt.

Pei Yue nodded and said, "I only figured this out on my way back to Beijing."

Shen Danmo hesitated for a moment and said: "By the way, there is one more thing about your next situation. Dad said that His Majesty will not touch you directly unless it is absolutely necessary, because this will arouse doubts from the ministers in the DPRK, and may even It will cause turmoil. However, according to His Majesty's past style, he will definitely dig a hole for you first and wait for you to jump in, just like Lu Min did before."

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to become tense instantly.

Like a bolt of lightning striking into his mind, Pei Yue remembered the warm banquet in the palace last night. First, Emperor Kaiping made him understand the dilemma and crisis he was facing through various hints and persuasion, and then Concubine Wu gave a seemingly safe solution. , let him lean towards the eldest prince and support him in his bid for the throne, and even allow Emperor Kaiping to marry Princess Pingyang to him to form a solid alliance of interests.

At that time, Pei Yue only felt extremely angry and a little confused. Could it be that the two emperors and concubines had forgotten the past and thought that he had no ill feelings towards Princess Pingyang?

Now that he heard Silent Cloud's reminder, Pei Yue immediately realized what the real danger was. If he was dissatisfied with the marriage grant and acted recklessly, wouldn't it be in line with Silent Cloud's speculation?

Lu Min is a lesson learned from the past.

Although Pei Yue would not be so impulsive, he still said sincerely: "Please Miss Shen, please convey to Mr. Shen on my behalf that I am very grateful for his advice."

Shen Danmo nodded in agreement, and then glanced at Ye Qi. There was a touch of sadness in his eyes, without the usual competitive look.

She took a breath and said to Pei Yue: "My father finally said that he and you can't meet each other in the future. Fortunately, the contact before was not that much, and now it is not too abrupt to distance ourselves. Also, from now on, Taige will only I can help you cover up some problems if conditions permit, but ultimately you will have to face the complex situation in the future on your own."

On the surface, these words were meant to draw a clear line. It seemed that because Pei Yue was regarded as a threat by the emperor because of his outstanding achievements, Silent Cloud did not want to be involved in the cruel struggle between the emperor and his ministers. But based on his understanding of Silent Cloud, the middle-aged Men definitely do not have this kind of temperament that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, otherwise Pei Zhen and Mr. Xi would not be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.

At this moment, Pei Yue didn't care about anything else. He stared into Shen Danmo's eyes and asked, "Miss Shen, please tell me, is the emperor trying to embarrass Mr. Shen?"

There was a look of pain in Shen Danmo's red eyes, and he shook his head and said: "How could it be? Although His Majesty still has Luan Yiwei, his father has helped him stabilize the court for seventeen years, who can take his place in a hurry? I don’t know what his reasons are, but for now everything is calm.”

She paused, looked at Pei Yue and said with a forced smile: "Dad has his own reasons for doing this, but I think he will not hurt you, Pei Yue..."
