It turns out that I too have been robbed.

As soon as Qi Baili was mentioned, Qi Yisu's eyes were full of disdain.

In the eyes of everyone, Prince Dayi has always been synonymous with gentleness and elegance.

Everyone said that he must be a benevolent king in the future.

But maybe it was because Pei Ruzhou had read "The Prophecy", and knew that Qi Baili was the one who won the throne in the end.So from the time he got to know Qi Yisu, he consciously or unconsciously compared Qi Baili and Qi Yisu silently in his heart.This is especially true after the Forbidden Army.

From Pei Ruzhou's point of view, Qi Yisu did not have any major shortcomings, and the whole court supported the prince.But regardless of private life, Qi Yisu is too moderate when it comes to governing the country.

If Qi Yisu really became the Emperor of Dayi, then at most he would be a successful king.

But Qi Baili is different.

"Marquis Guangce recovered the fourteen countries in the Western Regions. In the same year, Qi Baili, the sixth son of the emperor, exterminated the guards and proclaimed himself emperor."

The last sentence in "Heavenly Prophecy" has been deeply engraved in Pei Ruzhou's mind.

Although the current Qi Baili is inconspicuous, compared to Qi Yisu, he is a person who can truly create history.

Seeing Qi Yisu's disdainful eyes, Pei Ruzhou was very dissatisfied.

In addition, Pei Ruzhou felt that although Qi Baili had stayed in the Weiguo Palace for a long time, he hadn't caught any bad habits in him now, which was much better than other people in Huazhang Palace.

The prince said so, [-]% of the time he judged others by himself...

When the private room was at its quietest, Pei Ruzhou pursed his lips a little, and said to Qi Yisu: "My minister has always respected His Highness, but I also hope that His Highness can respect my friends, not to mention that Bai Li is His Highness's friend." dear brother."

"Bai Li?" Hearing this, Qi Yisu's tone became more and more disdainful.

However, after this disdain, as a competitor, he suddenly realized a very dangerous thing——Qi Baili, who can survive in the Weiguo Palace and is still alive, is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, but now... It seems Everyone felt that he was nothing to be afraid of.

Is he like this by nature, or is he too good at pretending?

Among these people, I also included myself.

Pei Ruzhou gritted his teeth when he heard these two words.

In fact, Pei Ruzhou kindly reminded him just now—since Qi Baili succeeded in the end, Qi Yisu in front of him was destined to become a deposed prince. Most deposed princes in history had a bad fate.

Although he and Qi Yisu had a bit of a fight today, Pei Ruzhou never thought about making Qi Yisu as miserable as those deposed princes in history.

Besides... Qi Yisu is the Immortal Lord of Yitai, if he returns to Jiuchongtian, it will not be good to get revenge on Qi Baili the more he thinks about it.

Of course, Qi Yisu didn't know that Pei Ruzhou was thinking so wonderfully, he only knew that Pei Ruzhou, who always seemed to have no temper, had annoyed him because of Qi Baili today.

The prince was originally in a good mood, but today he ruined his cleanliness.

Qi Yisu slowly sat back on his seat and filled himself with wine again.

Seeing the prince's expression, Pei Ruzhou was also a little nervous.And when he was wondering whether to say something, he heard the other party coldly say to the musician who didn't know where he was hiding: "Why don't you play? Continue."

Why didn't Qi Yisu let him go?

"Your Highness, I..." Pei Ruzhou wanted to ask him when he would be able to leave, but at this moment, the musician played the piano again, and changed to an incomparably exciting piece, suppressing his voice all at once. down.

For a while, the atmosphere became stalemate again.

Pei Ruzhou could only stay where he was, without moving.Time seemed to slow down.

Qi Yisu obviously didn't say anything anymore, but his behavior of forcing Pei Ruzhou to stay in this way made Pei Ruzhou feel more at a loss and nervous.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the pipa suddenly stopped. The prince sitting here couldn't help frowning, and then said sharply, "Why don't you play it anymore?"

This time, the person who answered him was not a musician.

There was silence in the box for a while, but after a while, someone suddenly opened the door from outside.

"His Royal Highness." The visitor was wearing a dark blue gown, and after entering the door, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and respectfully bowed to Qi Yisu.

The prince who was already drunk subconsciously frowned when he saw the person coming, but Pei Ruzhou couldn't help calling out immediately: "Eunuch Lin?"

Hearing this, the eunuch standing at the door raised his eyes and smiled slightly at him.

Eunuch Lin has been following the emperor, why did he suddenly come here?

Before Pei Ruzhou could figure it out, he heard Eunuch Lin say to the crown prince again: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager found out about you keeping Mr. Pei here, and specially asked our family to remind you. The Pei family has been loyal for generations, Half of Dayi's current state is brought down by the Pei family."

Queen Mother?

Pei Ruzhou has been out of the palace for a while, and as a "outsider", he can't enter the palace if he has nothing to do.Pei Ruzhou really didn't expect that after such a long time without seeing each other, the Queen Mother would still miss her. The most important thing is... how did she know that she was staying with Qi Yi in the restaurant now?

Eunuch Lin stayed by the emperor's side all the time, and today he claimed to be sent by the queen mother, which represented the two most noble people in Dayi at the same time.

Even the prince can't ignore it.

Hearing this, Qi Yisu, who smelled of alcohol, stood up quickly, and greeted Eunuch Lin as if nothing happened.And Eunuch Lin naturally gave the prince some face. After hearing the prince's "explanation", he pretended to praise the relationship between the prince and Pei Ruzhou, and then said euphemistically that it's getting late now. If you don't want the outside world to gossip, the prince It's better to go back to the East Palace as soon as possible.

While the two of them were chatting, countless possibilities popped up in Pei Ruzhou's mind.

But in the end, what he thought of was... A few months ago, Pei Yufeng told himself that he heard the eunuch next to the queen mother say that Qi Yunyao had already had an antidote.

At that time, he felt that there was something strange between the two.

And could it be that the two eunuchs "unintentionally" told the Queen Mother what happened this time?

Reason told Pei Ruzhou that it was impossible for these two meddling eunuchs to survive in the palace, but apart from this possibility, Pei Ruzhou couldn't think of any other answer...

Eunuch Lin's words interrupted Pei Ruzhou's thoughts.

"Mr. Pei, our family will go back to Huazhang Palace just on the way with you, why don't we go together?"

It turned out that while he was thinking wildly, Eunuch Lin had finished chatting with the prince.

And the prince, who was still drinking and frightening just now, got up, as if nothing had happened, and planned to leave here.

Maybe the prince doesn't want to leave now, but with Eunuch Lin watching over him, even if he doesn't want to, he has to think about it.

Hearing Eunuch Lin's words, Pei Ruzhou of course immediately responded.

"Okay! If Eunuch Lin is free, would you like to go to the General's Mansion for a cup of tea?"

Hearing this, the eunuch in Huazhang Palace smiled and said, "That's not necessary." When they first met, Pei Ruzhou helped him block the wooden ball, so Eunuch Lin's first impression of Pei Ruzhou was nothing. good.

Then, probably because of the uneasy princes in Huazhang Palace, Eunuch Lin felt that Pei Ruzhou was still a simple and interesting junior.

Qi Yisu was still standing on the side, while Pei Ruzhou followed Eunuch Lin out without daring to raise his head.It wasn't until he left the restaurant and was blown by the cool wind on the street that he felt relieved.

Pei Ruzhou saw that the carriages in the palace were parked here, and Eunuch Lin would probably go back directly from here.

But when he was about to send Eunuch Lin to the car, he saw that the other party suddenly sighed, turned around and said to himself: "Young Master Pei, you'd better pay attention in the future. Otherwise, some rumors will spread to His Majesty, and you will be killed." Oh no……"

Gossip?

Pei Ruzhou didn't understand what Eunuch Lin meant at first, but after the other party got into the car, Pei Ruzhou realized that what Eunuch Lin said was probably about himself and the prince.

Ever since he left the palace to go to the imperial army, the crown prince Qi Yisu would come here to find him whenever he had anything to do.Since other people in the Forbidden Army couldn't help but mention the prince's matter to their face, the spread of this matter must be wider than I thought.

"Hey..." Pei Ruzhou sighed as he rode his horse towards the residence of General Zhenxi.

This matter is beyond my control!

I really don't want to see the prince again, but I can't bear the other party to come to me...

Perhaps feeling the master's mood, Pei Ruzhou's Xuezhe also slowed down, looking listless from a distance, and his speed was also much slower.

And just when Pei Ruzhou turned the corner, got off his horse and walked to the long street where the General Zhenxi's Mansion was located.Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes not far away, and he subconsciously turned around to see that it was Qi Baili who came...

According to the regulations of the Great Yi, before the princes go to the fief, they will have a brief experience in the court.

Now Qi Baili has a fourth-rank position hanging on his body.But before today, Pei Ruzhou had never seen Qi Baili appear on the street in official uniform like now.

In Pei Ruzhou's impression, Qi Baili was always dressed in ink, with long hair half-draped, looking so elegant.But now, Qi Baili is wearing an official uniform and wearing a silver crown on his hair. Although he still looks like a teenager, at this moment, Pei Ruzhou has already felt a bit of the intimidating aura belonging to the future emperor from him. .

"Ru Zhou," said Qi Baili, and suddenly got off his horse and stood side by side with Pei Ru Zhou, "Are you alright?"

Qi Baili's news is so well-informed?

Thinking that the other party will become an emperor in the future, all this seems to make sense again.

——Qi Baili has probably already started laying out the layout in the court?

Hearing the other party's words, Pei Ruzhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said: "I'm fine, Eunuch Lin came just now, he said a few words to the crown prince, and I went home directly."

Qi Baili suddenly stopped talking, but directly on the long street, before Pei Ruzhou could react, he hugged him into his arms.

There were not many people on the street where the Zhenxi Great General's Mansion was located. It was the setting sun, and the setting sun cast over from the long street, stretching the shadows of the two of them very long...

Through the thin fabric, at this moment, Pei Ruzhou suddenly felt Qi Baili's heartbeat.

Then I heard him say in my ear: "Believe me, Ru Zhou... There will be no such thing in the future."

"Okay," Pei Ruzhou was stunned for a moment, then slowly hugged Qi Baili back, "I believe in you."

After all, you are the future emperor of Dayi, someone who can defeat the gods of the Nine Heavens.

Pei Ruzhou has always trusted Qi Baili extremely.
