Chapter 56
"No, it's all right." After waking up from the memory, Xiao Yu returned to his former sternness.

Seeing this situation, Pei Huizhao said softly, "Ah Chi, I'm sorry that I shouldn't be so capricious. I rejected your proposal without considering your feelings at all."

"Are you referring to my sentence 'this time it's as you wished, and next time you put other people's lives more important than yours, I'll just knock you out and take you away'?" Xiao Yu Watching Pei Huizhao ask back, it seems that he can always easily see through Pei Huizhao's mind.

There was no longer any rejection, Pei Huizhao nodded, and said word by word: "You must have your reasons for speaking like that." Speaking of this, Pei Huizhao suddenly felt a little heartache.

Seeing that Pei Huizhao, who had just stopped crying, was about to cry again, Xiao Yu was very worried that she was still thinking about that matter, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Pei Huizhao asked very seriously: "Ah, you must be very bad in the palace, aren't you?" Seemingly not intending to wait for Xiao Yu's answer, Pei Huizhao pursed his lips and continued. Said, "You must have struggled many times in the palace, that's why you said that, but I didn't take it into consideration at all."

Touching the heartache and concern in Pei Huizhao's eyes, Xiao Yu was suddenly moved. He had never mentioned this feeling to anyone before, but Pei Huizhao could hear the hardships of his life in the palace from his short sentence. ——"There is a tacit understanding" is about the same as what I said!
Pei Huizhao always said that he could see through her mind effortlessly, but in fact Pei Huizhao was the one who could easily see through her heart, and she was his "confidant"!

Feeling Xiao Yu's growing affection, Pei Huizhao asked slowly: "Is the power in the court also unscrupulous? If that's the case, how do you usually protect yourself?"

"Unscrupulous?" Xiao Yu repeated Pei Huizhao's words, this was the first time he heard someone use such a word to describe rights.

"It's unscrupulous!" Pei Huizhao said with certainty, "When Chen Yanran was insulted by others, I thought she must have dared to do that by relying on the power of the third rank of Yushifu, so I really wanted to know'is Isn't all power 'unbridled'?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yu patiently explained to Pei Huizhao, "The reason why she dared to treat you like that is because she has no other rights to restrict her. There are various rights in the palace, and the emperor wants to balance these rights, and a certain right cannot be made 'unbridled'."

"So that's how it is," Pei Huizhao nodded slowly, and gradually understood Xiao Yu's words. She is an intelligent woman, and she usually likes to read books like "Spring and Autumn", so Xiao Yu's words just happened. After finishing speaking, she thought of a sentence that an unknown emperor once said, "The art of the emperor is the art of checks and balances."

But Pei Huizhao never imagined that this sentence is very simple to say, and it does not seem difficult to understand, but it is extremely difficult to do, so that many years later, deep in the court, she would often have conflicts with Xiao Xiao because of this sentence. It's hard to stay together.

Seeing that Pei Huizhao had finally recovered his former look, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried, so he asked cautiously: "You will definitely meet Chen Yanran again in the future, what are you going to do then? Avoid her ?"

"Of course not," Pei Huizhao said with a serious expression, "When the water comes to the earth, the soldiers come to block it. We'll talk about it then."

"That's good," Xiao Yu nodded, knowing that Pei Huizhao had gradually let go of what happened in the afternoon, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but what followed was the anger that had been suppressed just now, and at this moment it slowly exploded Come.

Xiao Yu didn't expect that a young lady from the third-rank Yushifu would dare to be so arrogant. He really wanted to know who gave her the courage?More importantly, Pei Huizhao said just now, "Chen Yanran wants Chen Xizhi to marry her. If Chen Xizhi objects, Chen Yanran will continue to threaten Pei Huizhao."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu was furious: When will it be Chen Yanran's turn to dictate Pei Huizhao's life-long events?She is too lenient, he didn't say anything, she just messed up, who did she think she was?
Sensing the strange expression on Xiao Yu's face, Pei Huizhao asked softly, "Ah Chi, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Yu snapped back to his senses, and said in a moderate tone, "I'm just a little angry when I think of something."

"What's the matter?" Pei Huizhao asked slowly, she actually hoped that Xiao Yu would be happier, because he would have to face so many helplessness once he returned to the court.

Hearing the concern in Pei Huizhao's words, Xiao Yu was embarrassed to tell her that he was angry because she was pointed at by Chen Yanran to marry Chen Xizhi, and he wanted to solve some things himself, especially for the people and things he valued. Even more will choose this European way.

So, Xiao Yu looked at the bag of grilled fish beside Pei Huizhao, changed the subject and said, "It seems that I can only give these to those beggars tomorrow."

Following Xiao Yu's line of sight, Pei Huizhao saw those fish, and was about to speak, when Pei Liuguang took it and said: "Please ask Mr. Huang to stay at home tomorrow, and my sister and I will just take out the grilled fish."

"Why?" Xiao Yu heard the strangeness in Pei Liuguang's words, looked at the serious man opposite, and asked slowly.

"Because Mr. Huang's status is precious, it's better to pay more attention." Pei Liuguang said each word without any displeasure in his eyes. As a man, he is already very sensitive to politics. The conversation between Show and Xiao Yu, and Pei Jizhi's respectful attitude towards Xiao Yu, Pei Liuguang easily guessed Xiao Yu's identity.

Seeing that there was something in Pei Liuguang's words, Xiao Yu's face darkened, and then he said with a faint smile: "Yes, I am the crown prince, Xiao Yu."

Originally, I thought that Pei Liuguang would find it difficult to accept, but I didn't expect the other party to kneel down on the ground with a "plop" after hearing his words, and said very respectfully: "I'm going to join you, His Royal Highness, Your Highness."

Surprised by Pei Liuguang's sudden change, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, seemed to think of something, then smiled slightly, helped Pei Liuguang up and said, "Liuguang, please get up," as he spoke, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yu likes to deal with smart people very much, and Pei Liuguang is obviously one of them. Before that, Xiao Yu never told him his identity, but Pei Liuguang pretended to be him as soon as he learned of his identity. Xiao Yu appreciates Pei Liuguang's adaptability to the role that should be played well.
