Chapter 403 The Father and Son Meet
As autumn approached, the imperial palace became much more lonely. Perhaps it was because the imperial city was already solemn, or perhaps it was deserted due to the lack of many people.

Just as the sun pierced through the dark clouds covering the sky and sprinkled on the glazed tiles of the attic, it stopped Pei Mo's carriage approaching the palace in front of the palace gate.

The emperor has not been in court for several days because of dealing with the rebellious party, but except when it is locked in the middle of the night, the palace gate is not idle for a moment.

Because there are too many people who have been in contact with the second prince over the years, officials from the imperial court, down to the county magistrate in a certain place, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, the minister of Dali Temple and the Imperial Army have arrested many people for interrogation in the past few days .

Some who were undecided had to be taken to the palace for interrogation by the emperor himself.

This caused Pei Mo to attract frequent glances from the guards when he got off the carriage.

The Great General of the Zhen Kingdom, Pei Mo, was a hero in dealing with the second prince's treason. Now that Pei Mo is called into the palace, does it mean that he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, so this matter is coming to an end?
No wonder these guards are like this, it is true that many people have been killed in the palace recently, even their humble servants have been beheaded, how can they not be worried.

This time, the emperor was determined to wipe out all the second princes in the palace, and even issued the iron order "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one person go".

They don't want to live with such a reality of constant anxiety, and they hope that this matter will pass quickly.

As soon as Pei Mo got off the carriage, Li Fuquan, who was waiting in front of the palace gate, stepped forward to greet him with a whisk in his hand, "General Pei is finally here. The emperor has been waiting for a long time. You should follow the slave into the palace to meet the saint!"

He was slightly blessed, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He just waited for Xiao Luzi while waiting, and he was stumped by an accident when he was supposed to be sure.

Is this God's will?

Pei Mo took Murong Qing's hand and stepped into the bleak palace. He looked up at the high walls around him, and found that the birds that usually like to stay on the tiles had disappeared today, which made the palace even more desolate. .

It's like a wooden Guanyin statue placed by the river. You can see that the upper body of the Guanyin is lifelike, but the lower body of the wooden statue has long been corroded by moisture to decay and dilapidation.

Inexplicably, when Murong Qing stepped into this place, she felt chest tightness, and this feeling of being out of breath made her uneasy.

As if aware of her uneasiness, Pei Mo took her hand and squeezed slightly, comforting her with the faint warmth of his palm.

Because Li Fuquan was still accompanied by the old eunuch sent by the emperor to pick up Pei Mo, Li Fuquan couldn't find a chance to tell him about the emperor's actions.

Pei Mo originally thought that the emperor would summon him in the imperial study, but Li Fuquan brought him to the imperial garden instead.

"Why did Eunuch Li bring my minister to this imperial garden? I thought that the emperor summoned my minister early in the morning for some important business."

Li Fuquan stopped in his tracks, glanced at the old eunuch beside him from the corner of his eye, and replied to Pei Mo with a respectful expression on his face, "General Pei killed the slave, this is the emperor's order, please rest assured, general." Don't be impatient, the emperor is still looking through the Bamboo Pavilion and the documents and files of Langhuanyuan in the imperial study, I'm afraid the general will have to wait for a while."

Langhuanyuan is the dormitory where Concubine Ru lived in the past. Langhuan is the attic where the gods in the sky collected books. Because Concubine Ru is knowledgeable and talented, the emperor specially named the courtyard where she lived.

When Concubine Ru concubine was in favor, good things from other places in Dashun were sent to Langhuan Garden as soon as possible. Over time, Langhuan Garden became the most magnificent palace in the palace, and Concubine Ru was the most magnificent palace in the palace. The main empress of the palace, during the seven years she lived in the palace, she never had other concubines and beautiful women living in the side hall of Langhuanyuan.

But now, Langhuanyuan has become the most dilapidated ruins of the imperial palace. Time mercilessly makes people mourn, holding up a fistful of loess, letting go of the hand, leaving only a handful of ashes scattered in the wind.

The point of Li Fuquan's words is not Langhuanyuan. It's just that the palace has been abandoned for a long time. It's not that the old man in the palace doesn't know about it. Even if he told Pei Mo about the palace, he didn't know about it. Notice the bamboo pavilion in his words.

The eunuch who can still work in the palace at an old age is a shrewd person, and it is extremely difficult to tip the news under the nose of this old eunuch.

This is the end of Li Fuquan's words, and he can only gamble, hoping that Pei Mo can guess that what the emperor read is the document about his entry into the court as an official.

But what he doesn't know is that Pei Mo still has the memory of living in Langhuanyuan when he was young, and no one knows what Langhuanyuan means better than him.

Hearing this, Pei Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he keenly captured the emotion in Li Fuquan's eyes. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still said in a humble manner, "Thank you, Eunuch Li. Since the emperor is busy, the humble minister will Enjoy the autumn scenery in this imperial garden."

The emperor told Li Fuquan that after bringing Pei Mo to the imperial garden, he would return to the imperial study to report to him. He didn't have time to stay, so he had to salute and leave.

"Eunuch Li, go slowly."

Li Fuquan swung his fly whisk and took away the eunuch who was following him, but the old eunuch stayed where he was and looked at Pei Mo silently, probably the emperor had ordered something.

Murong Qing was at a loss when she heard the unfamiliar word 'Langhuanyuan', she felt that Li Fuquan seemed to have something to say, and when he left, she was about to ask.

"General..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Pei Mo was afraid of the old eunuch behind her, so she interrupted, "Madam, are you hungry?"

As he spoke, he stretched his hands into his sleeves and took something out. The next moment, a small bag of square kraft paper was placed in front of Murong Qing.

"what is this?"

Murong Qing was immediately attracted by the thing in Pei Mo's hand, so he couldn't remember his doubts.

Pei Mo opened the package with a chuckle, "Little Greedy Cat, I knew you were hungry."

It turned out that what was wrapped inside were candied fruit with attractive color and luster, barely enough to fill Murong Qing's stomach.

Pei Mo had a bad premonition, he felt that the emperor's summoning him this time might not be so simple, he glanced at the old eunuch behind him from the corner of his eye, and suddenly regretted letting Murong Qing follow him into the palace.

At this time they were standing in the pavilion, outside was the koi pond, Murong Qing was eating candied fruit and looking at the fish in the pond, Pei Mo looked at her with a smile in his eyes, the old eunuch looked up at Pei Mo, the atmosphere in the pavilion was extremely subtle up.

What they didn't know was that, behind the bushes not far outside the pavilion, the Yellow Emperor was standing there, staring intently at Pei Mo's back.

"Like, really like."

He seemed to be whispering and shattered in the breeze. This figure was taller than the third prince, and taller than the second prince. He vaguely saw the shadows of his own children on Pei Mo's body.

A picture appeared in front of the emperor's eyes. The little Sheng Xiujing galloped wildly on the horse, as if after a long time, when he got off the horse, he grew into Pei Mo's appearance.
