Liu Sijing said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is sorry." Then he stood up and shook his robe in a proper manner, like all the commoners in Yangzhou City at this time, knelt down facing the direction of the capital, respectfully fell to the ground and kowtowed, Get up after the mourning time is long enough.

According to the rules, after hearing the news of the national funeral, there are no other restrictions for the time being after the mourning ceremony.

Pei Heng and Yan Yunhou briefly exchanged glances in the dimly lit box, and after Liu Sijing got up, Pei Heng said flatly, "Master Liu, everything will be as usual."

Of course Liu Sijing was puzzled, Pei Heng just sat quietly in the backlight of the lantern, his expression hidden in the shadows, his tone of voice didn't seem to care much about his relationship with the emperor's uncle and nephew, and it was difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger.

For a while, countless speculations lingered in Liu Sijing's mind. Could it be that the gap between King Rui and the emperor has deepened, and will he take this opportunity to regain Zhaowu's military power in order to ascend to the throne?

King Huaiyuan is still young, and although he occupies Huaiyin's fertile fiefdom, he has no real power.

Liu Sijing absently issued an order, and the auction, which was interrupted at the beginning of Jingyuan Yaji, continued.

Xuanjiawei under Pei Heng left the pavilion calmly.

For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, and Liu Sijing kept guessing, but a wise man had so many thoughts in his mind that he misunderstood his cleverness. For a while, he completely ignored an extremely important point.

If everything goes as usual, Pei Heng originally planned to let Han Qi go temporarily, and might save Liu Sijing's life in order to stabilize Jiangnan.

But after the death of the little emperor, Pei Heng lost all interest in kindness. No matter whether the crime of Sun Yongshang's conspiracy to assassinate is true or not, Pei Heng will not let anyone involved in it go.

In the private room, Liu Sijing, Pei Heng, and Yan Yunhou were sitting in three directions respectively, and the exquisite tapestry embroidered lanterns shone with dancing candlelight. Xu Jin sat beside Pei Heng, with one arm resting on Pei Heng's shoulders. On the backrest behind him, he was half-protecting Pei Heng as if ready to go.

He tilted his head and leaned towards him without saying a word, but lightly rubbed against Pei Heng's ear, his breath sweeping across Pei Heng's cheek, in the silence, this kind of intimacy seemed to give Pei Heng an invisible support, his hand moved, Squeezing Xu Jin's hand on his lap, it was like cuddling each other in the dark, half of all the sudden grief was shared.

After a moment of warmth, the third opening lottery in the hall was presented, and there were endless cheers and bids. This rich and peaceful cave quickly put aside the news of the death of the emperor thousands of miles away, and clung to the few days left. Time to finish this carnival.

When Pei Heng stood up, his slender figure instantly exuded a cold and majestic aura. Liu Sijing suddenly realized that the King Rui in front of him was not some dandy.

"Mr. Liu, you don't need to follow me, I'm going out for a stroll." Pei Heng immediately left the box, and Yan Yunhou took Young Master Gu to stay.

Liu Sijing was in a dilemma for a while, from an emotional point of view, Pei Heng might not be saddened by the news of the emperor's death, but from a point of view of his identity, it was inappropriate to stay in this lively and cheerful pavilion at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, he made the last correct judgment, and saluted Pei Heng: "You can relax as you please, and the grassroots don't bother you." He watched Pei Heng leave with his back.

Before Xu Jin went out, he looked back at Liu Sijing, his dark eyes were stern and unruly, forcing his prying eyes back.

Pei Heng kept his composure all the way, from the atrium of the landscape garden through the veranda, all the way to the back garden, his steps were neither light nor heavy, Xu Jin stayed with him every step of the way, the more he walked, the more sour he felt in his heart, as if he could truly Feel Pei Heng's mood.

Finally, when they wandered aimlessly among the intricate flower walls, Pei Heng turned around suddenly, Xu Jin also stood still, Pei Heng lowered his eyes, and his crow-feather eyelashes moved slightly.

He hugged Xu Jin, and took off all the strength in his body. He leaned on Xu Jin, buried his head on his shoulder, and remained motionless.

"I... rest for a while."

There used to be many ideas and arrangements, and the sudden death made everything meaningless.

Pei Heng himself never thought that Pei Huan's death would be such a heavy blow to him.

He seemed to be beyond exhausted, having walked too long in the wilderness.

Xu Jin didn't say anything, just raised his arms around him, and patted him on the back lightly, like coaxing a child.

His embrace was deep and warm. Pei Heng felt that he was gradually coming alive. He stood up straight and looked at Xu Jin. The confusion and gloom in his eyes gradually faded away. Xu Jin seemed to be the source of his vitality. As long as we are together, the soul will be Will not wither again.

"Sun Yongshang has to die, Han Qi has to die, Liu Sijing... let's go together."

Pei Heng counted them one by one, breathing calmly.

Xu Jin said: "Xuanjiawei just came to report that according to the private account of Han Qi's mansion, the food transferred to the three major flood-stricken areas in the north has been reduced by half, and all of them were transferred to the chamber of commerce and forced to do good deeds. The 4 taels of silver that Yuan Yaji obtained from the auction today was Liu Sijing who helped him collect the debt."

[-] victims died of starvation due to floods in autumn, and two taels of money cost them their lives. They bought wealth that they shouldn't have, and these two people should have died too.

Xu Jin was a little at a loss, seeing Pei Heng's dull grief, his heart felt like a knife was being cut.Reincarnated as a mortal, there are all kinds of entanglements out of thin air. The little emperor is the same as Bai He and Long Zhang. Pei Heng has always been a guy who is suave on the surface and affectionate on the inside. How sad is this?

Xu Jin took him away from the side door of Jingyuan and went straight back to Shaoyuan, at least it was a quiet place.

When Pei Heng got on the horse, he simply rode with Pei Heng. On the way, he thought that Pei Heng would not be allowed to go out for a few days after Han Qi and Liu Sijing were cleaned up.

After returning to Shao Garden, the servants did not come out to wander around in a very timely manner. In the silence, Pei Heng returned to the courtyard without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the pool pavilion in the courtyard shone with golden light. A young man in a plain robe was sitting by the pool playing with koi carp. He turned his head when he heard the sound.

The footsteps of Pei Heng and Xu Jin froze at the same time.

The young man stood up, holding a folding fan in his hand, and said to Pei Heng with a smile: "Isn't there an elegant gathering today? I thought you wouldn't be back until evening."

Pei Heng stood there silently, his eyes covering the young man, seeing his much thinner figure and pale complexion.

Xu Jin folded her arms and didn't say a word, her face was indifferent and unrestrained, and a little irritable.

After a while, Pei Heng opened his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "The bell for the funeral has been ringing for a quarter of an hour. No matter how generous this king is, he won't be able to stay until night, right?"

The young man smiled brighter, rubbed his nose, stepped forward and embraced Pei Heng with open arms: "Uncle Emperor, you are very sad that I died, huh?"

Pei Heng choked in his throat, thinking, little bastard, if you weren't the emperor, this king would beat you to death for your father today.
