Heaven Scheme Palace

Xuan Yuan Jing mocked: "Is it for Pei Sheng?"

"I know A Sheng's loyalty to the Da Jin, and I don't want to ruin his entire life's glory."

"Love is truly great. Just like before royal father's death, in order to protect your life, Pei Sheng promised with blood that he would never advance in his life. He was only loyal to Xuan Yuan's family."

Yao Dan Qing's heart was slightly moved, her tightly clenched fists loosened, and she laughed: "Then, Emperor, no matter what, please believe in A Sheng's loyalty to Da Jin."

"Come, let's go to the pavilion and have a taste of some snacks." Xuan Yuan Jing changed the topic and led Yao Dan Qing towards the Smoke Pavilion in the middle of the curved bridge.

There were a few delicate plates of dessert on the stone table in the Smoke Pavilion. Xuan Yuan Jing handed a piece of Crystal Horseshoe Cake to her and asked: "What are you looking for me for in the imperial study today?"

Yao Dan Qing received the dessert he handed to him with both hands, and gently nodded to show her thanks, "It is regarding the Queen."

Xuan Yuan Jing laughed when Yao Dan Qing mentioned it, but she did not say a word.

Yao Dan Qing thought for a while, seeing that there was no one around, she gathered her courage and asked: "I heard from Queen that on the day of marriage, you guys had an agreement?"

Hearing her question, Xuan Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Right, we do have a gentleman's agreement on the night of our marriage. That night, she once confessed that she had a family background. She only married me for the sake of the Pei family. "

Yao Dan Qing understood, "So Emperor knew about this from the beginning."

Xuan Yuan Jing continued: "Her heart belongs to someone, and we also love each other, so we made an agreement to follow the couple's name after getting married, and we cannot be husband and wife."

Yao Dan Qing was stunned, so the so-called agreement between the Pei Family and Xuan Yuan Jing, was actually like that!

"Even so, Queen is the master of this palace after all. New pets should not be allowed to snatch master away."

"Is the so-called new pet you are talking about Shufei Xia or Han Beauty?"

Yao Dan Qing laughed and did not answer, but asked: "was framed by you, what do you think?"

"You saw it today as well. As the great Son of Heaven, I can't believe I have to look at Lu Family's face to make the decision to appoint an assistant minister of the Department. Today, Lu Family is not fighting over a mere position of Assistant Minister, but to let us understand, that even if we ascend to the throne, our Lu Family will still stand tall, and we will still have to rely on our Lu Family. " After saying that, he looked up to the blue sky and white clouds, and sighed: "Now that Ling Xuan Su and the Lu Family are on the same side, defeating Ling Xuan Su in one go is not that simple, and the ministers and officials are all looking at Lv Wen Hao with a straight face, a few maintained their silence, while the generals followed Pei Sheng out to battle. Every decision we make in the imperial court requires Lv Wen Hao's approval, otherwise, it would mean that the entire imperial court is opposed to it! Right now, I can only go all out, or die if I don't succeed! We cannot be the puppet emperor, and watch as the Da Jin's mountains and rivers get destroyed by me. I have failed the ancestors of Xuan Yuan's family. "

"Emperor, weakening the power of Lu Family is not something that can be done overnight. If you are too hasty, it will only enrage the Lu Family. Right now, you can only stabilize the situation and wait for A Sheng to return. I believe that A Sheng will definitely be able to find something out after he goes there. "

Xuan Yuan Jing sincerely asked: "Dan Qing, are you willing to help us?"

"I originally did not want to help, but for A Sheng, I will do my best to help Emperor." In the end, the last shred of grudge in Yao Dan Qing's heart was put down. With these words, the thousand kilograms of burden that had wrapped around the bottom of her heart for several months seemed to be instantly removed.

Xuan Yuan Jing was overjoyed. He turned around and raised his right palm towards her as he said, "It's a deal."

A slight smile formed on Yao Dan Qing's lips, she also raised her right hand and clapped as she said, "It is impossible to chase after a horse no matter what."

The two of them sat inside the Windblast Pavilion for two hours, talking about the political affairs and the situation in the imperial court. Yao Dan Qing agreed to help Xuan Yuan Jing find the wise and talented people in the city, to become an official and to share his worries.

Xuan Yuan Jing then gave the jade pendant to Yao Dan Qing. Seeing the jade pendant was like seeing the Emperor, allowing her to freely enter and exit the palace, including seeing Pei Jin.

Yao Dan Qing took the jade pendant, then turned and quickly left.

Xuan Yuan Jing sat inside the pavilion quietly, and watched her back as he walked further and further away, and the corner of his mouth revealed a warm smile.

Returning from the palace, before she even had the chance to eat dinner, she saw butler Zhang De Yan running over breathlessly, informing her that Pei Rui Hua had fainted today, and was almost out of breath, telling her to go take a look.

Yao Dan Qing hurried to the old man's house, and listened to Zhang De Yan report his illness to him in detail. Luckily, a few top doctors had gathered together to treat him, saving the old man who was about to lose his life.

In Yao Dan Qing's memories, Pei Rui Hua had been lying on the sickbed for a long time. It was rare for him to say a few words, and every time he came back to visit him, he would either be sleeping or his sickly eyes would be lifeless.

It was said that this old man relied on Pei Sheng's status and influence to gather the world's top precious medicinal herbs and tonics, and kept his breath. Otherwise, if it were any other person, they would have exhausted their anger many years ago.

"Old Master, Madame is here." Zhang De Yan lowered his voice and whispered into Pei Rui Hua's ears.

Pei Rui Hua's spirit was much better than before, his originally cloudy eyes were filled with light, but with his sunken eyes and his purple lips, it revealed his illness.

"Eunuch." Yao Dan Qing walked up a few steps, sized him up with concern, then looked at the doctor by the side who was meditating, just as she was about to inquire about the patient, she heard Pei Rui Hua's aged and weak, as though she was pleasantly surprised: "You are Miss Yao? It seems like you came here a few times, but I couldn't even remember your appearance. Come closer and let me take a closer look. "

It was the first time Yao Dan Qing heard the old man speak so much, so she followed his words and got closer. All she saw was him shakily reaching out his hand and placing it on top of her head, full of the pity of an elder.

"He looks good, he looks really good. Cheng'er is so lucky." "If it weren't for Miss Yao from back then, there wouldn't be Cheng'er today … In this lifetime, to be able to meet the Miss Yao again, this old one's death will be worth it. " At this point, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, his eyes filled with a carefree and happy feeling.

Yao Dan Qing's eyes were filled with suspicions, and asked: "Eunuch, what is the meaning of this?"

Pei Rui Hua suddenly coughed a few times, but maintained his consciousness and continued: "At that time, Miss Yao was still young, I am afraid I can't remember anymore. But this old one will always remember your kindness. " As he said that, his eyes became dazed, "All these years, I was always muddleheaded, sometimes sober and sometimes muddled, but I always remember what Cheng'er said …" Miss Yao, you are a good person, please do not blame Cheng'er … "Cheng'er was also unable to control himself." The more he spoke, the more excited he became. His voice was accompanied by a heavy cough.

Yao Dan Qing was confused when she heard it, but just as she was about to ask more, she was interrupted by Zhang De Yan: "Madame, the Old Master is starting to get agitated again, how about we leave first and let the Old Master have a good rest?"

Seeing Pei Rui Hua had started to speak nonsense, Yao Dan Qing did not understand what he was saying. Although her heart was filled with questions, she knew that continuing to ask would not give him any leads, "Elder should rest well, my wife will come visit you another day."
