Wearing a book, the paranoid devil is crying in my arms

Chapter 262 Gifting the King to the World, Thinking of Engagement

Facing Pei Mu's cold eyes, Yun Lan stood stiffly in place, watching Pei Mu bring her into the house with her own eyes.

In the end, she didn't even know how she left. Hearing that there was no movement outside, Pei Mu put Xi Yan on the bed.

Seeing him sleeping peacefully, my heart was even more messed up.

The New Year's time always comes quickly, and there is a big banquet in the palace, with fireworks and firecrackers going off.

Pei Mu has been living in the palace these days, and even though Xi Yan tried to act like nothing happened when facing him, he still keenly noticed that Xi Yan had a heavy heart.

Looking at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, Xi Yan felt as if a big stone was pressing on his heart.

Feeling in a mess, Pei Mu stood beside him and raised his hand to put a cloak on him. After a while, the sky began to snow again profusely.

"Is something on your mind, Your Majesty?"

Xi Yan glanced sideways at him, remained silent for a long time, and nodded slowly.

"Look at this."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed the letter in his arms to Pei Mu.

Originally, New Year's Eve should be a day worth celebrating, but he did not expect that the queen mother would collude with foreign countries and want to unite with foreign countries to finally pull him down from the throne.

His Majesty has many princes, so she united with other princes again, intending to rebel and start a war.

What he finds most incomprehensible is that once the uniting with the Gentiles is out of control, the Gentiles’ attack is another matter. You can’t control the invasion of the Gentiles at all.

He also wanted to cede five cities in exchange, and one can imagine how he felt when he received this news in New Year's Eve.

Wrapped tightly in the cloak and walking slowly towards the bedroom in the snow, Pei Mu also quickly read the letter.

"Your Majesty wants to destroy the foreign countries?"

Xi Yan doesn't have much ambition, and in order to defend the country, he doesn't care about conquering the world.

The two were silent and did not speak, the meaning of Xi Yan was already obvious.

"Pei Mu, do you blame me?" The fireworks were still blooming above his head, and Xi Yan reached out to catch the falling snowflakes.

"Your Majesty wants this world?"

It's a doubt, but it's also affirmation. At the beginning, there was no need for banquets, but now it has gradually changed.

Pei Mu knew very well that he was still willing to stay by his side. His wrist was very tough. From being kind at the beginning, he later became a person who obeyed me and prospered and opposed me and died.

Those members of the Yun family were searched and beheaded countless times, he looked up and down at those faces in the hall.

Many of them he had never seen before, most of the faces he had seen when he attended the funeral of the late emperor were missing.

With a big change of blood in the court, it can be seen how cold the hands of the banquet are. The emperor's mind is always the most difficult to guess.

Pei Mu followed behind him, looking down at the place he stepped on, his question was never answered, Xi Yan still walked forward step by step.

When they reached the gate of the main hall, Xi Yan stopped and turned to look at Pei Mu behind him.

"The Empress Dowager wants me to make Yun Lan her queen. Yun Lan is also innocent. If she really wants to do this, I can protect her..."

"If you want this world, I can call you."

Pei Mu interrupted him suddenly, and Xi Yan looked up at him in a daze.

"It's just on the battlefield. I just came back from the battlefield."

Xi Yan frowned and looked at him, "You haven't been back for long."

After saying this, he chuckled, raised his hand and pushed open the hall door, stepped into the hall, and then turned his head to look at Pei Mu.

"It's cold outside, come in."

Entering the main hall, both of them fell silent. Originally, Xi Yan thought that he could stay in the imperial capital for more time.

But he didn't want to go to the battlefield again after the next year. Under the circumstances of internal and external troubles, it was naturally his duty to help Xi Yan as much as he could.

Seeing him off at the gate of the city, Xi Yan personally put on the armor for him.

The cold and heavy armor was worn on his body, and it was still a world of ice and snow outside, and the heavy snow fell profusely, falling on the armor on his shoulders.

Xi Yan raised his hand to sweep the snow off his shoulders, straightened his armor, and took a step back.

"Be careful and take care."

Pei Mu's gaze fell on him, and he slowly raised his arms to embrace him. Xi Yan didn't move, and it took him a long time to hear him speak.

"This battle armor was put on by His Majesty himself, and His Majesty will also need to take it off when I come back."

After saying that, he turned around and got on the horse, tightened the rein and left without looking back.

Xi Yan stood at the city gate for a long time, and the palace servants who followed him could only stand quietly aside.

He didn't turn around until those people could no longer be seen and disappeared into the endless snow.

The news of the feud between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager was just guesswork at first, but later they gradually became certain that it was true.

These two have been fighting openly and secretly, and the Yun family has been suppressed all the time. Everyone can see that His Majesty is preparing to deal with the Yun family.

There were frequent victories on the battlefield, but in just three years, Pei Mu was promoted from a forward to a general, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.

At the beginning, the Queen Mother wanted to unite with foreigners to deal with Xi Yan, but she never thought that not only did she not succeed, but she also made Xi Yan's power even higher.

The alien barrier retreated, and the territory expanded little by little.

Pei Mu's reputation outside made those princes even more jealous.

Gradually, the power of the queen mother was gradually evacuated, and because of this, the court became more and more stable, which caused those people to stop talking about it.

After Li Li, it was mentioned again and again, and was suppressed again and again.

Looking at the memorials in front of him again, Xi Yan felt extremely bored.

Putting down the cinnabar pen, stood up, and glanced out the window. For three years, from spring to autumn, Pei Mu's letter was attached to every battle report.

But he didn't expect that it had been more than a month and he still hadn't received Pei Mu's letter.

"His Majesty……"

Xi Yan looked sideways, and the palace man came up to him, knelt down with a plop, holding a letter in his hand.

Xi Yan's heart skipped a beat for no reason, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Your Majesty, General Pei led 1 troops deep into the enemy army, but was ambushed by the enemy army. It has been almost a month since he was besieged by the enemy army."

"What?" Xi Yan quickly stepped forward to take the letter from him, but he didn't see a letter from Pei Mu in the letter.

He froze for a while, "What about the others, why don't you go rescue them?"

The palace man bowed his head, his face showing embarrassment, "General Li can't hold on, General Pei is afraid..."

Xi Yan can now probably understand in his heart that he will not accept military orders abroad.

Now that Pei Mu has been under siege for a month and no one has sent troops, he clenched the letter paper tightly in his hand, if Pei Mu had enough confidence before taking action.

So this time it was besieged, the enemy must have received the news and made preparations in advance.

It never occurred to him that some people's hands had now been extended to the frontline battlefield.

For a month, without any supplies, how would Pei Mu survive?

Xi Yan only felt flustered in his heart, Pei Mu had nothing to do, if it wasn't for him not being able to leave the imperial capital, he wanted to go to the front line now.
