In the palace, Pei Wan was in the imperial study.She sat on the throne that only the Holy One could sit on in the past, and her beautiful eyes burned with a desire for power that could only be diminished by death.

The imperial case was full of memorials, but what Pei Wan was looking at was a drawing of a dragon robe.

Only belongs to her dragon robe.

"My aunt is in a very good mood right now."

An adult male's melodious voice sounded from behind Pei Wan, and Pei Wan's fingers on the table tightened suddenly, then she turned her head and saw Pei Hui standing behind her at some point.

Pei Hui no longer wore the iconic red robe embroidered with gold unicorns, but a wide-sleeved toga with clogs like an ancient celebrity.

"When did you enter the palace? Where is your daughter-in-law?"

"My wife is shy, so I don't bring it into the palace to show my aunt. As for entering the palace, hasn't my aunt always let me into the palace?"

Pei Hui looked at Pei Wan with a smile, and the corners of Pei Wan's lips curled down imperceptibly, but soon rose again.

"I'm not worried about your injury, you are too bold..."

"Don't worry, aunt, I haven't left any injuries, it's the same as before."

Pei Hui walked around the case, walked to the table, and looked at Pei Wan as if looking down.

"When I was young, my aunt was entrusted by my grandfather to always come to play chess with me. Ah Yan will always remember this friendship."

Pei Hui picked up the drawing on the case and looked at the pattern of the dragon robe on it.

"Ayan also remembers that every time my aunt played chess with me, she lost before the middle game. There was only one time when the stalemate lasted until the end, but that was just because I was bored for a while and wanted to see new ways to play chess. The result was the final result. When it was reversed, my aunt was so angry that she couldn't help flipping the chessboard."

"...I was young and energetic back then." Pei Wan raised her sleeves and covered her lips with a chuckle.

"My wife told me a story recently. Although it's...so-so, there is a sentence in it that is very good. He said, 'Gao Gong is the master of shock'." Pei Hui looked at him and his expression changed slightly after he said this sentence. Pei Wan.

"Ayan, how could aunt..."

Pei Wanman said, but before she finished speaking, Pei Hui looked at her as if she was listening to a joke, and Pei Wan stopped talking.

Pei Hui placed the drawing of the dragon robe in front of Pei Wan, and pointed his jade-like fingertips in the center of the drawing.

"My aunt wears this dress very well."

"It's just that my aunt has become the real dragon emperor of this city, don't forget..."

"I love dragon slaying the most."

"Whether it's on the chessboard or here."

Pei Wan's fingertips suddenly pierced her palm, Pei Hui put both hands on the imperial case, and lowered her body.

"I have no interest in this throne, and I will resign and go to Jiangnan in three days. But in order to prevent my aunt from killing everyone, I have kept many people by my aunt's side."

"It's not just Jin Yiwei, court ladies, eunuchs, ministers, concubines, and even the people at the root of the imperial city."

"My aunt can overturn the chessboard in chess. If my aunt can overturn the world in this world, I will treat my aunt differently."

Pei Hui looked at Pei Wan's quiet side face. This woman who became a concubine from a concubine to a saint can be said to be a hero in the world.

It's not that she doesn't have the courage to overthrow the world, but... since she became a saint, she has carried many things on her shoulders.

It was so heavy that it would press her down on this throne, and she would never be able to step out of the city wall.

When Pei Hui left the imperial study, he heard Pei Wanwan's turning and listening voice behind him.

"Stinky boy, you must not die before I get away."

Pei Hui didn't care, by then he might have reached the end of his lifespan.

When Pei Hui returned to Dudu's Mansion, the servant girl on the way asked Pei Hui if he wanted to freshen up or eat and drink. Pei Hui only changed his clothes, washed up, and then left for Buliuyun.

He just wanted to be quick...to meet his goblin.

"What is the governor doing?"

Cheng Jieyi saw that Pei Hui seemed to be packing his luggage these two days, so he sat down from the pool to the shore, transformed into human legs, and helped Pei Hui pack.

"We're going to Jiangnan." Pei Hui said.

"...I thought it was a joke. Can the governor really leave Yingtian Mansion?" Cheng Jieyi looked at Pei Hui curiously. He is the first-rank governor of Jinyiwei. Shouldn't he be guarding Yingtian Mansion and running errands for his aunt?

"I have already resigned."

Pei Hui stroked Cheng Jieyi's hair and watched him show a coquettish smile.

"I said before that I would go to the south of the Yangtze River with the young master, but I was not joking. From now on...you can call me Ayan."

When Cheng Jieyi really boarded the boat to Yangzhou, he still hadn't recalled it.

This is going to change the map?

Do you really want to die in Jiangnan?

Pei Hui sat in the cabin, opened the high window, and held the wine cup against the river wind, calm and at ease as always.

Sensing Cheng Jieyi's gaze, he waved at Cheng Jieyi, and when he saw Cheng Jieyi obediently coming over, he pulled him onto his lap and sat down.

"It's not easy to let the young master soak in the water now, let's bear it first."

"It's okay if I don't soak in water." Cheng Jieyi shook his head.

"Then... young master, do you want to drink?" Pei Hui chuckled and held up the emerald liquor.

Cheng Jieyi immediately said no, but it was impossible.

Pei Hui lowered his head and taught the young master how to drink again.

By the time Cheng Jieyi woke up dizzy, it was already night and the boat seemed to have stopped.

"All... Ah Yan?"

Cheng Jieyi looked at the empty cabin, endured his dizziness and got up from the couch, pushed open the door of the cabin, and saw Pei Hui in a white shirt standing on the deck, looking at the dark night sky in front of him.

"woke up?"

Pei Hui turned sideways and stretched out a hand towards Cheng Jieyi.

Cheng Jieyi took a few steps forward, put his hand on it, and Pei Hui brought Cheng Jieyi with him.

"It just so happens that I can see the fireworks on the shore towns."

One day away from Yangzhou, villages and towns on the shore set off fireworks to exorcise evil spirits in summer.

The Ghost Festival is over, but I am afraid that there are still some wandering souls who linger on the world and refuse to leave, so they set off fireworks with a sound like firecrackers, so that the brilliant light can illuminate the earth even at night.

Ships docked at the nearby pier and watched the brilliant fireworks light up the land.

Cheng Jieyi rubbed his eyes, he had watched fireworks with...Tu Su before.

"Young master, did you watch fireworks with me in my previous life?" Pei Hui looked at Cheng Jieyi's profile under the light of the fire.

"...Yeah," Cheng Jieyi looked up at the fireworks and said half-truths, "I've seen them before."

Pei Hui smiled lightly and said.

"Then from now on, the young master can watch it whenever he wants."

"with me."

After arriving in Yangzhou at night on the second day, Cheng Jieyi seemed to see a city that never sleeps.

It is like the gorgeous sunset glow in the sky, and it is also like the beauty of thousands of lights lit up. The city that never sleeps stands proudly beside the river, reflecting the colors of half of the world.

There were bursts of silk and bamboo sounds, talking and laughing from the shore.

Luxurious and wealthy merchants ride on a painting boat. In order to make the women around them smile, they order people to pour pearls and gold into the river.

It is said that one day a golden river will be created for this woman.

Pei Hui also watched the rich businessman's actions with interest, and after a while, he looked down at Cheng Jieyi who was sitting in his arms.

"Young master, do you also want a golden river?"

Cheng Jieyi shook his head immediately upon hearing this.What kind of gold river does he want, this idiot and kind little white carp?

"Then what does the young master want? For the sake of the young master, I can do anything."

Pei Hui lowered his head and kissed Cheng Jieyi's forehead.

"I have been looking for something all my life, looking for something that will allow me to live. Poetry, poetry, silk and bamboo music, power, money, every time I get it, I quickly lose interest. Now the little prince has come to me , My restless heart actually has a home."

"Little son, please be sure to stay with me for a long time."

The powerful and invincible governor actually showed a fragile expression in front of Cheng Jieyi, and Cheng Jieyi's heart suddenly felt a little bit of pain.

This sentence... seems to have been said to him, a long, long time ago.

There was a sudden thunder in the sky.

Cheng Jieyi looked up, the sky illuminated by bright light suddenly became cloudy.

Violet lightning as thick as a snake dragon shuttles through the clouds, as if there is a feast of thunder and lightning above the clouds.

Pei Hui suddenly raised his hand to press his forehead, and there seemed to be a voice in his ear.

It's not the sound of water, wind, silk and bamboo, or the voice of the little boy.

It was like a deafening sound coming from the distant sky.
