Chapter 67 Pei Xuan's Night Visit

In Xingyan Palace,

the rustling autumn wind blew the dead leaves all over the ground.

Pei Xuan's white clothes were whiter than snow, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind. The cuffs and waist were embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns with silver threads.

His long silver-white hair fell to his waist like a waterfall, and his trembling eyelashes were like butterfly wings.

The beauty was like a painting, but it was difficult to hide the sorrow inside.

"Master, Master! I heard that the Regent King and his men are back!" Pei Lin's voice broke this beautiful picture.

Pei Xuan's slightly drooped eyes lit up instantly, "He's back? Where is he now?"

"Replying to Master, the Regent went to the palace to find the Emperor. The Emperor did not see him, so he and General Gu stormed out of the palace."

"He...didn't come to see me?" Pei Xuan was a little disappointed, stroking the sandalwood bracelet on his wrist.

"Maybe the Regent is too busy and didn't have time." Pei Lin rubbed his cheeks.

Master has never cared so much about anyone, and now he must be a little disappointed.

The Regent, too, has already gone to the palace, why doesn't he come to see his own Master?

Pei Xuan pursed his lips, still unable to hide his disappointment.

"Now that the Prince Regent's Palace has been sealed, where does he live?"

"Master, don't worry about that. I heard that his adopted son bought a house next to the Prince Regent's Palace. He should live there." Pei Lin smiled. When did Master become so caring?

Pei Xuan used to be as cold as a piece of jade, and he didn't care about anything.

Hearing this, Pei Xuan pondered for a moment, "Prepare the horses, I want to go and see."

"Ah? Master, you are going to leave the palace?" Pei Lin opened his mouth in shock.

"Yeah." Pei Xuan nodded slightly.

"No, no, Master, you'd better not go." Pei Lin disagreed.

"The Regent is in a very dangerous situation now. If you go to see him, I'm afraid you will be targeted by the Emperor."

"The Emperor has always been jealous of you and the Regent. You'd better keep a low profile recently and don't make the Emperor unhappy."

Pei Lin advised Pei Xuan, fearing that he would go to the Regent in a swagger.

Pei Xuan thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

But what Pei Lin didn't expect was that although he didn't let Pei Xuan go to the Regent in a swagger, Pei Xuan secretly ran over at night.

The empty room was hung with white silk. There was a coffin in the middle of the mourning hall, and the tablet in front was that of Butler Zhang.

Xie Anci, dressed in plain clothes, knelt in front of the tablet with a haggard look.

The dim candlelight shone on his face, casting a layer of soft light.

Xie Anci seemed to have cried all his tears out.

It is said that men do not shed tears easily, but only when they are sad.

Xie Anci has always been strong. His parents warned him not to show his weakness in front of others, so he has hardly shed tears in all these years.

But this series of blows made him breathless. Even Zhang, the housekeeper he regarded as a relative, was gone.

Xie You stood behind Xie Anci obediently.

"Godfather, I will take care of this here. You go back and have a rest." Xie You frowned. Xie Anci had not slept for several days. Even an iron man could not stand it.

Xie Anci shook his head lightly, "You go and have a rest, I want to see Zhang Bo off for the last time."

"But..."

"Who!?" Xie You wanted to persuade him, but suddenly saw a white figure coming out of the darkness, and instantly blocked in front of Xie Anci with alertness.

The white figure gradually approached, and Xie Anci found that it was Pei Xuan!

"I'm sorry." Pei Xuan's usually calm face actually had a trace of embarrassment.

"Master Imperial Master!" Xie Anci pushed Xie You away and hurried to meet him.

"Thank you for delivering the message last time." Xie Anci was still very grateful to Pei Xuan.

After all, they had not met many times.

But Pei Xuan helped him many times.

Xie Anci forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

It's true that every time I see Pei Xuan, he's at his worst.

"Thank you, I thought you wouldn't come back to the capital, but you did." Pei Xuan saw that Xie Anci had lost some weight, and her beautiful face was a little fragile. He felt depressed and uncomfortable.

"Yes, godfather, the imperial teacher asked you to leave the capital with me. Why don't we find a quiet town to settle down together?" Xie You slightly turned his body to block Xie Anci's sight from Pei Xuan.

When did godfather have such a good relationship with the imperial teacher?

Xie You's eyes gradually darkened. Godfather was really a philanderer.

Pei Xuan: "..."

He didn't seem to say that.

"You go out first." Xie Anci said to Xie You.

Xie You looked at Pei Xuan reluctantly, then at Xie Anci, and finally said, "Yes, godfather."

After Xie You left, only Xie Anci and Pei Xuan were left in the mourning hall.

Pei Xuan approached Xie Anci and asked softly, "Who is this..."

Pei Xuan looked at the spirit tablet in front of him, Zhang Pingan.

What a simple and unadorned wish.

It just doesn't look like a person of noble status.

"He is the steward of my palace. He has always been by my side like a father. I didn't take good care of him." Xie Anci looked lonely, with his red lips slightly pursed.

Pei Xuan understood, "My condolences."

Xie Anci nodded slightly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Imperial Master."

Pei Xuan sighed, "The situation is complicated now, you have to be more careful."

Xie Anci smiled bitterly, "I'm in this situation now, what else do I have to lose?"

"It's the Imperial Master who should be careful, and don't have too much contact with me." Xie Anci advised.

Pei Xuan frowned slightly, "If there is anything I can help with, just tell me."

"Thank you, Imperial Master, for your kindness." Xie Anci smiled lightly.

Now most people keep a distance from him, as far away from him as possible.

Pei Xuan approached him at this time.

Xie Anci smiled bitterly. What virtue did he have?

After all, even his most trusted shadow guard betrayed him. No wonder he had not received any news from the capital.

"You are welcome, Prince Regent." Pei Xuan said softly, "It is indeed not suitable to stay in the capital now. Prince Regent might as well leave earlier."

Although Pei Xuan was reluctant to let Xie Anci leave, he hoped that Xie Anci would be alive.

Xie Anci thought for a long time and finally nodded.

"You are right, I will consider it."

Xie Anci sighed. He wanted to let it go.

After so many years of feelings and so many years of torment, it was time for him to let it go.

Feelings cannot be forced. Li Jinchen would not like him.

Now Li Jinchen is no longer the child who would warm his bed.

As if he had made up his mind, Xie Anci nodded solemnly.

"I will leave after burying Zhang Bo. The ends of the earth will be my home." The moment Xie Anci let go, he seemed to be alive again.

After going through so many hardships, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel.

"That's great." Pei Xuan was also very pleased, "In that case, take care, Regent."

"Yeah." Xie Anci smiled slightly.

"It's getting late, Regent, take care of yourself and rest early." Pei Xuan said and was about to leave.

Xie Anci didn't dare to take him out of the main gate, so he watched him go.
