The second son of the prince's family

Shrike still couldn't believe it, the young master was actually the emperor's child, how could this be possible? !

Shrike suddenly remembered that when the young master first moved into that small courtyard, he once cut off the tongue of a servant girl in public, severely deterring the servants including him and the oriole parrot.

It seems to be because the maid said that Pei Qian was not the child of the princess, but a bastard who didn't know where the prince was.

This kind of backyard rumors have been circulating in the palace for a long time. Since Pei Qian moved to the small courtyard, there are only a few of them and two old ladies around him, and the servants and maids in the backyard gradually don't pay attention to Pei Qian. Sometimes, if there are any shortcomings in the yard here, I will ask for it, but I will not give it with various excuses.

So much so that the maid dared to say such disrespectful words in front of Pei Qian.

At that time, Shrike was afraid and had an unspeakable sympathy in his heart. He felt that although Pei Qian was the prince of the palace, his life was not as good as the servants around the princess.

Of course, because he followed Pei Qian, he also suffered a lot of grievances, so he always defended Pei Qian, racked his brains behind his back to manage the small courtyard well for Pei Qian, and prevented other servants from bullying their small courtyard. .

Now, Pei Qian is actually the emperor's child, so why is he in the palace?

Was it the prince who hid him?

But why did the prince do this?Thinking of Pei Qian's life in the palace for so many years, even other people's bastards are not as good as him, Shrike really doesn't know who Pei Qian should blame.

He didn't know what kind of mood Pei Qian would feel after he found out about this incident, but he heard it himself, and his heart was entangled in grief and sadness, and he couldn't breathe.

It's a real mess.

Looking at the emperor sitting above, Shrike couldn't help but boldly hated him for Pei Qian too. Since the young master is your child, why didn't you show up earlier? Now that the young master has finally left those right and wrong places, why do you bother me again? and?

If the son knew about this, he would be angry with such a cold and arrogant person.

Shrike thought about it in a mess, and unconsciously believed what Pei Mo said. As the emperor, how could he need to deceive such an unknown servant like him.

Seeing Shrike kneeling below, Pei Mo calmed down his emotions, took out the token, and said softly, "Ning Yuan gave you this thing?"

Even though his tone is so gentle, the majesty of a person who has been in power for a long time is still shocking.

"Yes."

Pei Mo frowned subconsciously, and said, "What is this for?"

Shrike unconsciously grabbed the hem of the clothes in front of his knees with his fingers, a little hesitant and didn't know whether to say it, although Pei Mo had already said that he was Pei Qian's father, but with so many children, who could be sure that he was the real one? Why do you care about Pei Qian so much?

Seeing his hesitation, Pei Mo was naturally a little displeased in his heart. No one had ever dared to deceive him like this after he had been in a superior position for a long time.

He said in a low voice, emphasizing his tone, "I said, I came here to save Ning Yuan, do you think I came all the way here to harm Ning Yuan?"

Shrike shook his body, shook his head immediately, and said nervously: "This, this is, it is used to enter the city."

Pei Mo's eyes were fixed, and he looked sideways at the inconspicuous token in his hand. The material was made of flimsy cardboard. How could such a small thing enter the city easily?

Lin Shijiang on the other side was also delighted, it really took no effort to get here, but then his heart sank, this token is for the Shrike, and now the city gate is closed, only the Shrike can go in, they can't go in .

Everyone looked at Shrike with burning eyes. Shrike didn't know what was wrong, but couldn't help feeling very stressed, and lowered his head in a panic.

Pei Mo said in a deep voice: "Did the person who went to explore the road yesterday come back? How is it?"

Lin Shijiang said: "I haven't come back yet, I should be back almost tomorrow."

"You bring the person who drew the route yesterday." Pei Mo seemed to be in a better mood, and his voice sounded calm and gentle.

Lin Shijiang said: "Yes."

Then he ordered the hidden guards around him to bring Mu Qiu over.

Tonight ended up being a rough night.

Mu Qiu listened carefully to the movement outside the room, the sound of footsteps walking back and forth, depressing voices, and even breathing could be heard.

The Shrike in the next room really disappeared, and now people are looking for him outside, Mu Qiu sat in the dark, his eyes were bright, and there was a vague smile on his lips, and he said softly in his heart: Sure enough. It's a fool, just like his son.

Someone was guarding outside his room again, but Mu Qiu wasn't worried at all, as long as he was still useful, he didn't have to worry too much.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qiu was about to fall asleep, when suddenly two guards came in with lights, and said, "Please come with us."

When Mu Qiu saw them coming in, he immediately stood up, and asked nervously, "Is there something wrong?"

"Just follow along, don't worry about anything." Although the guard on the left had a stern voice, the content of his words reassured Mu Qiu.

They were also polite to Mu Qiuke and took him out of the room. Mu Qiu's nervous heart calmed down.

Turning into the main hall, Mu Qiu was the first to see Shrike kneeling in the middle of the main hall, surrounded by orderly and majestic guards, each with weapons, and sitting on the main seat was a man, Mu Qiu After a quick glance, he immediately lowered his head and followed the guards into the room.

"Your Majesty, someone brought it here."

Mu Qiu almost staggered, and quickly glanced up with horror on his face.

emperor!That person turned out to be the emperor? !

If the emperor didn't stay in Yanjing well, why would he come here in person, such a dangerous place with poor mountains and bad waters?

Mu Qiu's heart was pounding, and he couldn't care less about Shrike still kneeling beside him.

He walked forward slowly, hesitated for a while, and finally knelt down with his head down.

He is slender and thin, kneeling on the ground with a soft and weak appearance, his skin is white and delicate, and when he lowers his head slightly, he can see a slender and fair neck, so he doesn't look like a servant, but rather The young master who was taken care of meticulously.

Pei Mo looked at Mu Qiu, concealed the doubt in his heart, and said, "Are you the one who was rescued by Ning Yuan and followed him all the time?"

Although his voice is calm, the coercion of those who have been in power for a long time is habitual and cannot be ignored.

Mu Qiu's heart tightened, and he carefully considered it in his heart, lest his words would reveal flaws.

"Yes."

"Head up."

"Bang bang bang." Mu Qiu felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, tried hard to control his neck, slowly raised his head, raised his eyelids, and looked up with a slight twinkle.

That person above...is he really the emperor?

I heard that the current Holy Majesty will be forty-two this year.In Mu Qiu's imagination, he was just like his father, a potbellied, haggard old man, but Pei Mo looked at most 30 years old.

Those eyes seemed to be poured into the galaxy thousands of miles away, just one glance, and they were about to enter in silence.Sitting there, even if you don't speak, you will feel admiration for no reason.

Pei Mo only glanced at him, then said, "Ning Yuan, how is he doing in Jinsha City?"

He hesitated to ask this question, afraid of hearing bad news, but couldn't help but want to know more about Ning Yuan and get to know him better.

Mu Qiu lowered his head slightly, suppressed the look in his eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Opening his mouth, he unconsciously gasped and stuttered, Mu Qiu frowned, paused for a moment and continued: "My lord is fine."

Pei Mo didn't know whether he was in a relaxed mood or what, he just paused and said in a deep voice, "How is it good?"

He accentuated his tone, Mu Qiu thought he was displeased, lowered his head and slightly bent his lips, tried to keep his voice steady, and said: "Because there is a big master, how can anyone dare to treat you badly?" Speaking of this, Mu Qiu shrank his shoulders slightly because of fear.

Pei Mo's face was as heavy as water, his eyes couldn't see his emotions clearly, and he said, "The master?"

"Well! Yes, it's the big master." Mu Qiu nodded fiercely, then looked at Pei Mo with some fear, then continued to lower his head and said, "The big master is the leader of the bandits in Wuming Mountain, and even Jinsha City was taken by him." Controlled by one hand, the people in the city are afraid of him and call him the master."

"A few days ago, I heard that the eldest son of Prince Qi's mansion came to Jinsha City, but, but..."

Pei Mo's expression changed, it was Pei Ye.

All his attention has been on Pei Qian for the past few days, and he didn't care about Pei Ye for a while, so he asked in a deep voice, "But what?"

Mu Qiu gritted his teeth, and said with a determined look: "I heard that the young master is the second young master of Prince Qi's mansion, and that elder son came to look for the young master, but as soon as he entered the city, he was arrested by the head of the family. The people brought by the son were also killed and arrested by the head of the family."

Mu Qiu's face was pale, as if he remembered something frightening.

Pei Mo's face was expressionless, with anger hidden in his eyes, he said, "Yuan Hui brought so many people with him, can a bandit catch him easily?"

Mu Qiu nodded fiercely, and said: "Yes, it's the young master. The young master seems to hate this elder son very much. He ordered the arrest and used himself as a bait to arrest and kill all the people brought by the elder son. killing."

His eyes were clear, with tears in his eyes, as if he remembered the tragedy at the beginning, his thin body trembled slightly.

When the Shrike heard this, he finally couldn't help but shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense!"

Mu Qiu mournfully said: "I didn't, that's why I tried to find a way to escape, I, I'm really, too scared..."
