The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 37

Nantian Tea House, since the last encirclement and suppression, has been dilapidated and depressed. When entering the door, there is a desolate smell, rushing towards you.

Stepping on the fallen leaves that have not been cleaned for a long time, the veins of the leaves are broken, making a small critique, and such a small sound, in such a quiet and cold night, is very ear-splitting.

Pei Ruochen only took two steps, and then stopped again. He looked around calmly, and saw black shadows floating everywhere under the eaves, behind the pillars, and on the big trees, obviously surrounded by people.

Pei Ruochen held his breath and stood still, with his whole body drawn in, his broad sleeves fluttering without any wind, looking vigilantly but leisurely at the brightly lit hall in front of him.

"Show yourself." He said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want?"

The lighted door was pushed open lightly, and a middle-aged man wearing a shopkeeper's long gown stood in the lintel, looking at him sharply—it was Director You.

"The last time I was deceived by your disguise, I didn't expect this deity to be such a handsome person." Director You smiled and praised frankly.

It's just that the laughter, the sound of praise, is more frightening than arbitrary abuse under such circumstances.

Pei Ruochen remained calm, and said calmly, "Director You, you are being polite. If you talk about handsomeness, how can you compare to your young master, Mr. Liu."

Director You's face changed, and then he calmed down again, "Since you know we are members of the Liu family, why don't you come to pay homage to your master?"

"Joke, there is only one master of mine, and that is the emperor of heaven, the king admired by all people. How could it be you who are like rats who dare not even see the light?" A coward who would prey on a weak woman."

"You don't have to provoke me." Director You said unmoved: "It's really not martial arts to use a weak woman, but what kind of bird are you? When you went to the imperial workshop to buy shoes in person, we thought you were buying them for Princess You , I wanted to capture the princess to threaten He Lanchun—unexpectedly, you gave it to an irrelevant woman, if our investigation is correct, she seems to be the princess that He Lanxue divorced, Yiren."

"Since you know you've caught the wrong person, why did you catch her?" Pei Ruochen asked with narrowed eyes.The voice was gloomy, and gradually, it became murderous.

"What about you? It's obviously an irrelevant woman, so why do you think she put herself in danger?" Director You narrowed his eyes with great interest and asked.

"He Lanxue handed her over to me, and I will naturally be responsible for her safety."

"What an honorable son of the prime minister, the current son-in-law!" Director You smiled contemptuously: "Why don't you go and see what kind of face your father had when he betrayed the master and begged for glory."

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Back then, Mrs. Xi was extremely cruel and angry with both humans and gods. My father's choice was not wrong. Could it be that being a tiger's minion is the so-called loyalty?" Pei Ruochen retorted lightly, and then got back to business: " Where is she? Now that I've come, let us resolve the grievances between the Pei family and the Liu family. You let her go first."

"Let her go? Is it going to be like last time, you'll be surrounded and suppressed by you again, and hundreds of brothers will die!" Director You looked serious, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and the people hiding everywhere seemed to be affected, and the murderous aura suddenly disappeared. It dissipated, and Pei Ruochen, who was standing in the center of the murderous aura, immediately felt the overwhelming aura.

At the touch of a hair.

But where is Yiren now?
Yi Ren rubbed his temples, looking at the scene in front of him a little confused.

Under the dim light, a young man was sitting by the window. His brocade clothes were bright, but they were sunk in the darkness. Although the smudged lights were warm, they couldn't stain his clothes at all.

Just like the gaze he casts out of the window at this moment, such beautiful eyes are only gray.There is no color, no light.

Yi Ren got up from the ground, perhaps startled by the sound, the boy slowly turned around and faced her: "Are you awake?"

"Eh." Yi Ren nodded, and wanted to walk towards him, but just took a step, and fell heavily again.

"The medicinal effect of Ruanjinsan on your body has not dissipated, so don't waste your efforts." Hearing the sound of Yiren falling to the ground, the young man smiled contemptuously: "This is a lesson, I tell you not to eat food of unknown origin next time."

Yi Ren sighed, and murmured, "I didn't know that people can harm others."

Hearing the words, the boy's expression changed: "What did you say, you said I'm not human?"

Yi Ren smiled slightly, and was too lazy to explain to him, but said very cooperatively: "I have 100 taels of silver on me, you can take it all. I just hope that you will learn well in the future and stop doing evil things. Don't worry, I will not repay you. Officials. Everyone has a last resort, if possible, who would like to be a thief and a robber at the same time?"

Yi Ren still remembered the last time they entered the palace to steal.

"You!" The young man seemed to be easily irritated, and Yi Ren's calm words made him turn pale with anger: "You actually said that I am a thief, yes, a thief, a hook thief, a country thief Get princes." He stood up and took a few steps closer to where Yi Ren was: "Even so, what right do you have to say about me for a woman like you who knows nothing, who spends every day in the royal mansion? No stealing, you're a moth, not even a thief!"

Yi Ren didn't understand why he was so excited, but felt that the handsome pale face was distorted and tense, and felt very distressed.

"Although I'm a moth, I've never eaten your food. Why do you hate me so much?" Since the last time he couldn't help but say that he wanted to kill her, Yi Ren has sensed his emotions.

This boy, very, very much, hates himself as a waste.

"Why do you hate you?" The young man was startled, and then with a gloomy face, he said coldly, "You are obviously healthy in limbs and in good health, but you are wasting your life. Isn't such a person worth hating?"

Yi Ren blinked, and suddenly understood his various reactions.

He must have wanted to do many things, but he couldn't because of eye disease or other diseases.Then I hate those who have resources but don't know how to cherish them.

After Yi Ren figured it out, he looked up at the extremely domineering yet extremely proud young man standing in front of him, feeling pity in his heart.

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

He may have never known such beautiful colors and things.

"Squat down." After waiting for a while, Yi Ren said softly.

"What kind of tricks do you want to play!" The boy snorted coldly, but he expected that such a weak woman would not play tricks. After all, he squatted down.Kneeling down in front of Yi Ren, his eyes were looking at him blankly.

Yi Ren sat up, clenched his fist, and only stretched out his ring finger, carefully touching the boy's right hand resting on his knee.

That hand was slender and delicate, but as pale as jade.

When the fingertips touched him.Yi Ren felt a burst of coldness.

The boy's body is so cold.

But the kind of coldness left at the touch, and the moment Yi Ren touched him, the boy also pulled his hand away abruptly, and was about to question him angrily, when he heard a clear and sweet girl's voice: "Ah, my bamboo basket!"

The young man frowned, his anger became more intense, and he wanted to stand up. Then, another voice came over, this time, it was a male voice pretending: "Girl, please stop your beautiful steps, do you know that you have committed a crime?" What kind of mistake did you make?"

The young man was stunned, wondering what kind of trick she was playing, he couldn't help but paused, the unyielding ring finger stretched out again, and touched his fingertip again, just like a jerky and shy girl saw The strange man said: "My official, it was obviously your horse's hoof that kicked over my bamboo basket. You see, this wide road leads straight to the blue sky, but you still let this nasty beast splash mud all over me. Why? Instead, blame it on my fault?"

The melodious and soft voice is almost like fairy music.

After finishing speaking, Yi Ren stretched out his other hand, grabbed the boy's right hand that was no longer dodging, and also curled his ring finger, using his fingertips to tap his own, like a scholar shaking his head and talking: "Your mistake!" It’s just as beautiful as a fairy, your graceful figure makes me unable to control my hands, your fluffy black hair fills my eyes, I can’t see the roads, mountains and rivers, it’s just pitch black; your bright cheeks make my crotch The beast is overwhelmed and forgets how majestic his master is."

Although the male voice she suffocates is delicate and neutral, it has a pretentious seriousness that makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

The young man was distracted for a while, so he let her hold his hand to finish the sentence, but after listening, his expression darkened again, he pulled his hand back viciously, and then stood up and took a hurried step back: " Be bold!"

Yi Ren was caught by his movements, and fell back heavily to the ground. There was no trace of complaint on her face, but she looked at the young man with a smile, and said softly: "It's a beautiful line, isn't it? As long as you put your heart into it, the voice can actually be like a painting beautiful."

"Boring!" The boy was slightly taken aback, then dropped two words unceremoniously, and walked away.

It's just that the steps are staggering, which is a bit like fleeing.

Outside the lobby, the conversation continued.

Director You laughed and said, "The Helan family has He Lanxue in literature and He Lanqin in martial arts, but He Lanchun is neither literary nor martial, yet he has become emperor. It shows that the Helan family is at the end of its rope."

"You people, how can you understand my master's wise judgment?" Pei Ruochen replied with a sneer.

"Yes, I almost forgot that He Lanchun was supported by your Pei family." Director You smacked his lips, squinting at Pei Ruochen: "Your sister is still He Lanchun's favorite concubine now, and he and your Pei family are inextricably linked. relationship."

Pei Ruochen just pursed his lips, carefully observing the movements around him.He didn't answer the call.

"Mr. Pei, tell me, if He Lanxue finds out that the Yiren he entrusted to you has been sent to the military camp to be an official slave. Will he be suspicious of your Pei family and stop willingly obeying He Lanchun?" Seeing Pei Ruochen's expression Faintly, Supervisor You seemed to have suddenly thought of an excellent idea, and his eyes were joking: "He Lanxue was able to compose a poem at the age of five, settle a case at the age of 12, and become the youngest imperial envoy at the age of 17. He should be able to surprise the world with his qualifications. Compete with He Lanchun, right?"

These words really touched Pei Ruochen's expression, and those eyes that were always gentle and calm finally narrowed down.
