Pei Ziqi frowned, and said, "What's the matter?"

The jailer slowed down, panting and said: "Master Pei, Mr. Sun has something to do with you, so I want you to go there quickly."

"Did Master Sun say anything about it?" Pei Ziqi said lightly, "If he didn't say anything, you go and tell him to wait, I'm still interrogating prisoners here." He turned his head and said to Yun Yizhong again : "Go on."

The jailer cupped his hands and said, "Master Sun said that the palace sent someone here."

Pei Ziqi was stunned, frowned, turned around and walked away: "Okay, I'll go right away." After taking two steps, he stopped and said, "Didn't you forget to say, where is Master Sun? Is it the father-in-law or the forbidden army?"

The jailer followed behind him: "Master Sun is in the interrogation room. I don't know about the rest, I just run errands for Mr. Sun."

Pei Ziqi nodded and continued on his way: "My little brother, how long have you been in the Ministry of Punishment?"

"It's been a month or two." The jailer whispered back, a sharp dagger protruding from his cuff.He smiled with a slanted mouth, and raised his hand to attack Pei Ziqi...

Pei Ziqi walked forward and said with a smile: "That's no wonder, I look very unfamiliar..."

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew across his neck.Pei Ziqi turned his head, only to see that it was empty and there was no one there.He frowned and took a few steps back.Suddenly, he stopped and raised his left foot.He looked down, there was a pool of viscous liquid under his feet, the soles of his shoes were dyed bright red, and there was a strong smell of rust.

He lifted the hem of his clothes and ran forward desperately.Gradually, he slowed down and walked slowly towards the cell door.Yun Yizhong fell to the ground, his mouth slightly opened, his eyes widened with horror.His throat was cut, and a lot of blood gushed out.The skirts and straw were dyed red one by one, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Pei Ziqi took a few breaths and called out loudly: "Come on! Come on!"

There was silence in the dark cell, with crisp voices echoing over and over again.Pei Ziqi clenched his hands into fists, released the system and said, "System, quickly check for me, what happened to those jailers?"

The system, which had been blocked for a long time, didn't react for a while, and happily ate popcorn and said, "Ah? What did you say?"

Pei Ziqi turned and walked back, and said, "Quickly check! Check if those jailers are dead?"

The system was silent for a while, and said: "It's not dead, they are all asleep, sleeping soundly." Then said: "Qi Qi, you are injured, I checked that you were hit by a heavy object on the head. hit."

Pei Ziqi felt relieved, and muttered, "It's fine if you don't die, it's fine if you don't die..."

The system obediently silenced.Pei Ziqi said again: "System, help me heal my injury, please." He quickly walked out of the prison, got into the carriage and said, "Go back to Pei's residence."

The coachman promised loudly, and drove the carriage to Pei's residence...

*******

The breeze blows, the ginkgo leaves are flying all over the sky, and the sun shines golden.As the sword edge passed by, the ginkgo leaves broke in half and fell to the ground immediately.A man was holding a sharp sword, and his figure was too fast to be seen.Every move was full of sharpness, as if he was venting something.When the sword was broken, he suddenly stopped and looked not far away.

Pei Ziqi walked towards him: "Just now I looked at you from a distance and thought you were dancing; after I walked in, I realized that you were practicing swords." Jokingly said: "No wonder you are said to be a dancer of the Three Kingdoms." The most beautiful man, worthy of this title."

Zhang Nan put down his sword and said with a smile, "You're back. Are you done with your work?"

Pei Ziqi stood in front of him, shook his head, and hugged him with open arms.He said: "Busy is never finished. I miss you, so I came back to see you. After reading, I have to go back to the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhang Nan hurriedly said: "Wait, I just practiced the sword, and I have..."

Pei Ziqi sneered, rubbed against him on purpose, and said, "Look, I also smell of sweat. Are you going to despise me too?"

Zhang Nan hesitated slightly, shook his head and smiled: "It's still the same as when I was a child, dirty."

Pei Ziqi was displeased, and snorted, "It's obvious that you are obsessed with cleanliness! In the cold winter months, you still take two baths a day, so you're not afraid of catching cold!" Suddenly, he changed the subject: "You arranged for someone to protect me, didn't you? ?”

Zhang Nan hummed lightly.

Pei Ziqi said: "I almost died today, almost." Then he said: "Yun Yizhong died. Under my nose, he was killed this morning. Sun Hancheng reminded me and asked me to interrogate Yun Yizhong overnight , but I didn't listen to him. And the Queen Mother..."

The queen mother has not organized a birthday for many years, but this year she suddenly organized a birthday.I think there must be a special purpose for coming to the birthday banquet, maybe the queen mother wanted to use the birthday banquet as an excuse to keep someone, so she helped him.But besides helping him, the Queen Mother also tried to stop him.She intentionally provoked Luo Di, causing Luo Di to punish him and make him miss the interrogation overnight.

Pei Ziqi smiled, and said leisurely: "The queen mother ordered someone to give me a handkerchief with mirrors and lotus flowers embroidered on it. In the end, it was nothing. She helped me and stopped me, and in the end I was nothing."

After a short silence, Zhang Nan stretched out his arms to hug him, and said, "Grandma doesn't have any ill intentions towards you, otherwise she wouldn't help you. It's just that there is one person who makes her very conflicted, and she doesn't know what to do."

"Zhang Nan." Pei Ziqi said softly.

"Well, I'm here."

His chin rested on Zhang Nan's shoulder, and he said, "My father's corpse, did you bury it properly? Don't let him lack arms and legs, and he will be bullied by ghosts in the underworld."

"Yes, I buried him properly and didn't let him be bullied."

Pei Ziqi withdrew from his arms and said with a smile, "That's good. I'll go see him when this matter is over. It's been five years, and I haven't visited him yet."

Zhang Nan frowned slightly, and held his hand: "You want to go?"

Pei Ziqi nodded and said, "Go to the northwest to visit your father and do your filial piety."

Instead of shaking hands, Zhang Nan said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Pei Ziqi glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Why are you going with me? Our name is not right. If my father sees it, I'm afraid he will be so angry." Then he said: "I'm not wrong I'm back. I'll be back soon after sweeping the tomb."

Zhang Nan stared into his eyes, and the two interlocked their fingers: "I will marry you, and then we will go together."

Pei Ziqi stretched out his hand to stop him, and said nervously: "Don't, I finally became a bachelor in the palace. If I marry you, I can only stay in the harem." Then he said: "Unless, one day you I became the emperor and allowed the empress to participate in politics. I only considered marrying you, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!"

Zhang Nan was stunned: "You have already agreed to marry me."

Pei Ziqi shook his finger, and took it for granted: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Everything in the world is changing rapidly, and the past cannot be used to determine the present..."

Zhang Nan looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Suddenly, his eyes fell on his forehead, and his smile suddenly froze.He opened his mouth and said slowly: "Did Emperor Father make things difficult for you?"

Pei Ziqi was slightly stunned: "No. Where did you hear the rumors?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "I am a favorite minister, why would Your Majesty make things difficult for me? If you don't believe me, look at me carefully and see Something is wrong."

Zhang Nan stared at his forehead and remained silent for a long time.After staying for a while, he frowned, with puzzlement rolling between his brows.

Pei Ziqi smiled and said, "Trust me now." He looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, it's getting late, and I'm going back to the Ministry of Punishment." After speaking, he opened Zhang Nan's hand , turned around and walked.After walking two steps, he suddenly turned around: "Zhang Nan, have you arranged for someone to visit my father's grave every year?"

"Twice a year."

Pei Ziqi smiled brightly, and said softly: "Thank you." Then he said: "When I finish my work, I will come back to you. At that time, I will give you a big gift. Let me tell you first, you can't refuse."

Zhang Nan looked at him in a daze, his clear eyes glowed with bright light, which was secretly joyful.Pei Ziqi smiled, turned his head and waved goodbye.He walked forward unhurriedly, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, there was a faint glint of water in his dark eyes, he looked forward one step without looking back...
