The emperor made a decision, and only informed Pei Heng and Yan Yunhou, but did not announce the matter in the court, and only issued an official order after they set off, in order to prevent those who are interested in taking advantage of the chaos to manipulate the rudder.

They have three days to prepare.

During these three days, Sun Yongshang was not imprisoned, and the emperor's attitude towards him did not even change.He still went to court, handled affairs, handed out paperwork as usual, and only came out of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of War after sunset. He returned to the mansion in a sedan chair, and his colleagues did not show any signs of discord. .

At the same time, Prince Rui's Mansion packed up, and Marquis Yan Yun packed up Young Master Gu.Pei Heng's mansion was preparing luggage. Jin Yu and the others always advocated light packing and simplicity, adding, subtracting, and trimming things one by one. Put it in.

Everything was ready, but the emperor's complexion became more and more bad these days, and he gradually became ill.Pei Huan was a very trouble-free child since he was a child. Although he was physically weak, he didn't get sick very much when he was young. This disease scared the hospital again, but he didn't have any special symptoms. It was nothing more than lack of energy, poor complexion, frequent headaches and loss of appetite. , The whole person lost weight very quickly.

The people from the Sandian Division have been firmly guarding the emperor's side all the time, carefully checking the basic necessities of life, no one can harm the emperor.

"The imperial doctor can't find out what's going on, and Wen Ge can't tell." Xu Jin said to Pei Heng, "It's all vague. Do you really not know or are you hiding something together?"

In the past few days, Pei Heng also felt that the emperor's tone of speech was subtly evasive, maybe there was something behind his back, but what exactly would make the emperor have to hide it, Pei Heng couldn't say for a moment.He said: "If no disease can be found out, then no one can do anything about it; if they deliberately conceal it, it must be the emperor's intention, so let nature take its course."

Famous doctors in the world all work for the royal family, but life and death are fair things. People will not escape the shackles of life, old age, sickness and death just because of their royal blood. If Pei Huan really suffers from a rare and difficult disease, no one can do anything about it.

Of course Pei Heng was worried, but the holy will had been decided, someone had to help the emperor to do things, he had to leave if he didn't.The empress dowager was haggard because of the Sun family's affairs, and she was worried because of the emperor's illness. She even summoned King Rui several times. It took Pei Heng a lot of persuasion to get her to take a reassurance that didn't last long.Fortunately, it just so happened that the imperial concubine Lan Ya, who hadn't shown her face for several days, finally came out of Fuhan Palace, and instead became the only person who was by Pei Huan's side.

On the day of departure, at the court meeting, the ministers flattered the emperor in various ways, admonishing the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, and all of them were impassioned and talented.

Pei Huan coughed while announcing the matter of King Rui's southward inspection. The people below were shocked immediately, and their faces were very bright. An Guogong is indeed a fool, still wondering, and wanted to speak a few words, while Sun Yongshang was already full of hair. Bai was extremely depressed.

Pei Heng and Yan Yunhou just stepped forward to receive the decree in public, and Shi Shiran, two handsome and elegant figures, bid farewell to His Majesty, and set off directly. There was a well-equipped car outside the palace gate.

Such a surprise attack by surprise, after the court meeting, Sun Yongshang was ordered to stay alone, and the idlers in the hall waited to retreat, the Xiling Guard appeared from the shadows, took the elephant wat in his hand, and went straight to arrest him.

The Mingde Hall was spacious and tall, and Pei Huan on the imperial steps looked a bit disfigured due to illness, dressed in a dragon robe, condescending, the people below couldn't see the sky clearly, and he seemed to have the aura of the former emperor in a trance.

The monarchs and subjects were silent for a moment, Sun Yongshang's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say a word. His eyes were slightly cloudy, mixed with complex hatred, defeat and the expected calm. Pei Huan raised his hand in vain, fingers After raising his hand, the Xiling Guard took Sun Yongshang down.

Outside the palace hall in autumn, the sun shines brightly on the broad square, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and a gust of wind blows. Sun Yongshang's back is sandwiched among the guards of Xiling, like a stele of a generation of families gradually disintegrating.

Pei Heng and Yan Yunhou went out of the palace and met with the accompanying carriage outside the Chongwu Gate. Xu Jin lifted the curtain and reached out to pick Pei Heng up. Yan Yunhou got into the carriage behind, and Young Master Gu was drinking tea and eating snacks leisurely Wubi said with a grin, "Let's go." Like a child going to play.

"Master Hou, what are we going to Jiangnan for? Are we arresting corrupt officials with the prince?" Young Master Gu looked at Yan Yunhou who had just sat down.

Yan Yunhou took a sip of tea from his cup, turned his head and saw the crumbs around Young Master Gu's mouth, took the handkerchief beside him and wiped it clean for him, Young Master Gu's clear eyes just looked at him, Yan Yunhou's eyes flickered for a moment, She reached out and hugged him into her arms.

"The prince will take care of the matter, let's go on an autumn tour." Yan Yunhou's fingers ran down Young Master Gu's chin and neck, and with a hook with his fingertips, he pulled his belt away.

"Since Marquis Yan Yun is going together, of course we have something to do. Let's go on an autumn tour." Pei Heng filtered the tea, and the carriage was filled with fragrance. Hair, elegant posture.

Xu Jin was sitting on the side of the carriage, leaning heavily, with his long legs stretched out there, looking at Pei Heng with a smile in his eyes: "Just go directly like this? Who are you going to deal with? Presumably those people have thought of countermeasures."

"Naturally, we have to sneak through Chencang." Pei Heng said, "The most elegant master in the south of the Yangtze River is named Liu Sijing."

The carriage left the city for half a day, and there was a section of deep valleys around Gyeonggi, surrounded by mountains and dense forests. When the carriage left here, the owner of the carriage disappeared.

The four of them quietly changed their horses from the secluded path, and walked three miles southeast, where there were other carriages and horses waiting, so that the golden cicadas escaped from their shells and got rid of the prying eyes of all parties.

Along the way, they avoided the so-called "must-pass road" and took all the places with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Pei Heng and Yan Yunhou knew almost everything about the terrain and customs of Yan Kingdom, and they were familiar with the roads wherever they went. Xu Jin was very suspicious. The two of them didn't detour to avoid people's eyes and ears, but purely for sightseeing.

When they approached Yangzhou, they settled in a village and town. This town is in a mountainous area near the river. From the foot of the water's edge to the middle of the mountain, the houses in the village are all made of bamboo. There is not such a serious problem of miasma and poisonous insects, and the house is not very high from the ground.The general houses are made of blue bricks and black tiles. This kind of house is integrated with the mountains and forests, which is very rare in Yangzhou.

It is only less than five miles away from Yangzhou, but it feels like a paradise. Cars and horses enter the town and shuttle between the bamboo buildings winding on the hillside. From time to time, there are villagers and children who are curious to see the beautiful girls. Standing on the stone road by the river with the washtub in their arms, they looked here and whispered to each other, laughing melodiously.

Young Master Gu also looked out of the carriage curiously, and met the eyes of everyone. All he saw were friendly and simple smiles. The bamboo house and green forest were hidden among the mountains and mist. He couldn't help sighing: "Master Hou, what kind of fairyland is this?"

Hua Yunhou couldn't help laughing. When he brought him into the palace, he never heard him have such a high opinion. Young Master Gu is really an authentic southern monster, and he prefers Jiangnan in his bones.

The chariots and horses stopped in a courtyard surrounded by bamboo buildings. Several people had been waiting here. Two middle-aged butler-looking men with kind faces and neat figures, as well as several young men and old women, bowed to Pei Heng when they saw him. : "Young master, it's hard work coming from afar."

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Heng. Pei Heng motioned for everyone to be polite, and they greeted Xu Jin, Yan Yunhou and Young Master Gu, and went to work separately.

"Is this your house?" Xu Jin leaned over and asked, "I thought your other house would be in a prosperous place."

"There are also in Yangzhou City." Pei Heng said, "I won't go to the city right now, I will rest here."

Xu Jin turned his head and looked in the direction outside the courtyard, Pei Heng asked: "What, do you have doubts?"

Xu Jin was dressed in a black robe, extremely handsome, and the expression of serious thought between his brows made him particularly attractive.He thought for a while and said, "Aren't the female relatives in the town just under five years old or over 25 years old, isn't it strange?"
