Pei State Palace.
Tomorrow is the coronation ceremony of the new emperor. Even at night, the palace is brightly lit and the palace servants are rushing to prepare everything before the ceremony.
At this time, the emperor's palace was extremely dark. The beauty stood by the door, looking up at the person in front of her.
"Brother Yan Zhou..."
The woman took a deep breath and asked, "You can't leave. Tomorrow is your coronation ceremony. Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet, and the domestic situation is unstable. Have you forgotten what you promised my father?"
Pei Yanzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.
"I remember everything Master instructed me to do. I've already completed the first step. It's just that what comes next has nothing to do with what I'm about to do now."
Pei Yanzhou didn't spare her any glances, he just passed her and walked out of the hall.
She knew that he had the means to handle tomorrow's coronation ceremony, but he was not here. If he was not careful, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Just for a woman... and she's the queen of another country. Her life is not in danger yet, it's just a matter of worry. Is it necessary to go to this extent?
Feng Quyu pinched her palms tightly with her fingertips, an indescribable sourness spread in her heart, and she turned around.
"It's her again! I should have killed her earlier!"
Pei Yanzhou stopped, his figure looking cold and distant in the night.
"Feng Quyu, this is the second time you've interfered with my affairs."
"Last time, I didn't care about it for Master's sake. If you continue to push your luck..."
He didn't say the second half of his words, but Feng Quyu had seen his methods these days and was very clear about the deep meaning behind his words.
Feng Quyu was indeed jealous, but she was also afraid of Pei Yanzhou and had no power to stop him.
Pei Yanzhou left the palace, and the person waiting for him at the palace gate was Eleven, who had brought him the news before.
Eleven was leading the horse, but he was hesitant to hand the reins to Pei Yanzhou.
"Your Majesty, I promised the princess that I cannot let you leave."
Eleven was a little embarrassed. Even he didn't understand why Pei Yanzhou had agreed to it before, but regretted it today.
He's leaving without even caring about tomorrow's coronation ceremony...
"She's doing well in Xiao Dynasty, why are you still looking for her?"
He always obeyed her words.
Pei Yanzhou had originally wanted to go find her earlier, but because of this conversation, he temporarily put his plan on hold.
He could just wait for her to come to him.
However……
His people brought news about her, from the increasingly intense rumors among the people, to the reappearance of Princess Zhaoning, and... the disappeared Song army.
All of them are indicating that it is time to take action.
The day when they meet is not far away.
But...why is he so uneasy?
She was smart enough to know how to maximize her own interests, but she did not suppress the rumors, allowing them to spread to the point where they were difficult to control.
He knew her, so this slight abnormality made him feel uneasy.
Pei Yanzhou took the reins and said in a tone that brooked no refusal: "I must go."
…
Feiwan dealt with government affairs all day, and when night fell, he was finally about to finish his work for the day.
She rubbed her sore wrist before picking up the medicine beside her and drinking it.
The medicine became more and more bitter, and my body became more and more tired.
Being an emperor is indeed a short-lived job.
She hadn't become emperor yet, she was just handling government affairs on his behalf, but she felt that her remaining life had been shortened by a few months.
She looked out the window. The bright moon was particularly beautiful, and the moonlight was as clear as water, just like the day they parted.
If she remembered correctly, tomorrow would be Pei Yanzhou's coronation ceremony.
If this isn't resolved, by the time Pei Yanzhou reacts and chases after us... it'll be troublesome.
Fei Wan retracted his gaze,
She didn't want to break her promise.
so……
It's time to return the Xiao Dynasty's territory to the Song Dynasty.
