Pei Yu also heard from the court officials the reason why they did not attend court today.
Pei Yu's eyes met Nangong Yan's and he thought of the spell that Yin Lengdie had mentioned.
"What's wrong with you, Lord Pei? You just stare at me without saying anything."
If it had happened before, such behavior would have certainly displeased Nangong Yan, but today, not only was Nangong Yan not displeased at all, he also still had a smiling face.
Pei Yu retracted his gaze and apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to offend you. I have never seen Your Majesty smile so happily. I was very surprised for a moment."
Nangong Yan smiled when he heard this and said, "No problem, I am happy today."
Nangong Yan walked towards the imperial study, and Pei Yu followed behind.
After they sat down, Nangong Yan asked again: "Pei Qing specially waited here, do you have something to report?"
Pei Yu said: It's about the Queen Mother. I didn't mean to hear some rumors among the people. I thought it was related to the reputation of the royal family, so I came to report to Your Majesty. ”
Nangong Yan was puzzled, "About the Queen? What is it?"
Pei Yu sent people to inquire about the queen, but found that rumors began to spread among the people that the queen was the reincarnation of a witch. Those rumors just gave him an excuse to enter the palace, and it was more convenient for him to find out whether the emperor was under some curse.
Pei Yu told Nangong Yan everything he had found out about 누, leaving out every word.
Some people even said that the eldest prince and the eldest princess were not Nangong Yan's children, and it was because Qingli knew witchcraft that she changed the appearance of the two children to look like Nangong Yan, which confused everyone.
The smile on Nangong Yan's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became gloomy and scary.
"Pei Yu, I leave this matter to you. Go and find out who spread these rumors immediately. I'll give you three days. If you can't find out and solve this matter, you must resign!"
Nangong Yan's face was gloomy and scary. The anger from the superior made people feel inexplicably frightened.
Pei Yu was thankful that he had found out about this. Otherwise, with all those words he said, he would have been demoted or even lost his position.
After receiving the order, Pei Yu immediately left.
If the emperor's smiling face before made him doubt whether he was under a curse, then the emperor who just got angry immediately made him dispel this doubt.
The emperor is still the same emperor, and his angry look is still as scary as ever.
Pei Yu came out of the imperial study and saw from afar two children jumping towards him, surrounded by a group of palace servants.
He immediately stopped. He had never seen the eldest prince and princess before.
I heard that the reason why the emperor hasn't appointed a crown prince yet is because he wants the princess to be eligible to inherit the throne as well. He wants to train the two children first and then see who is more suitable to succeed you.
When this matter was mentioned, the ministers in the court were very troubled. They had finally hoped that the emperor would have a son, but in the end, a princess was also allowed to inherit. This was too shocking and unacceptable.
Apart from other state affairs, the most discussed thing in the court recently is this matter concerning you gentlemen.
Pei Yu watched the two children getting closer and closer, until he could see Meng Meng's appearance clearly, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
This princess really is carved from the same mold as the emperor, they look so alike.
"Master Pei."
The palace maids looked at Pei Yu and immediately saluted.
Pei Yu came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze from Meng Meng's face, and fell on Yang Yang's face, then bowed slightly and saluted, "Greetings to the eldest prince and princess."
Although the two were children, their status was there, and according to etiquette, Pei Yu also needed to bow.
Mengmeng and Yangyang had never seen Pei Yu before, so they looked at him curiously.
The maid beside them hurriedly said, "Grand Princess, Grand Prince, this is the Minister of War, Mr. Pei."
Mengmeng and Yangyang greeted Pei Yu.
The two children now understand all kinds of etiquette and can do it very well.
Pei Yu looked at the two children with a warm smile and asked, "Did the eldest prince and princess just finish class?"
Meng Meng nodded, "Yeah."
Pei Yu asked a few questions with a smile, and both children answered them very well.
The child's eyes were really innocent, clear and insightful, and he saw through everything at a glance. It didn't look like he had been changed by any witchcraft at all.
Pei Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself for being so ridiculous as to believe those rumors.
Yin Lengdie's words, coupled with those rumors, made him swayed and he subconsciously chose to believe them.
Now that he had seen the emperor and the two children with his own eyes, he understood that those words were completely false.
Pei Yu said goodbye to the two children with a smile, and then left the palace immediately.
Mengmeng and Yangyang thought this person was a little strange, but they didn't think much about it.
After Pei Yu left, the two children also entered the imperial study.
"Father, we are here to have breakfast with you."
After Meng Meng went in, she spoke to Nangong Yan who was behind the desk.
Seeing his precious daughter, Nangong Yan's bad mood disappeared instantly.
"Come quickly. After the emperor has reviewed these memorials, I will take you to see someone."
Thinking of Qingli who was still sleeping in the bedroom, a smile appeared on Nangong Yan's face again.
The two children looked at him curiously.
"Who is it? Father, you look so happy."
Mengmeng asked first.
Nangong Yan is preparing a surprise for the two children! Hence the mystery.
"You two will know it later."
After saying this, he continued to review the memorials.
The two children's curiosity was aroused and they were getting impatient waiting.
It took a full hour to read the several memorials that Nangong Yan mentioned, and the two children were almost bored from watching them.
As soon as Nangong Yan stood up, Meng Meng hurriedly stood up and said impatiently, "Father, let's go! You are done with your work."
