Pei Lin opened his eyes and saw a short knife stuck on a wooden pillar from outside. It was obvious that there was a piece of paper hanging on it.

The person who shot the dagger hurriedly slipped away from the opposite roof, thinking he didn't see it.

He was too lazy to chase it, so he might as well look at what was written on the paper.

There were six very simple words on the paper, which made him laugh out loud. He burned the paper casually, looked back at her lying on the bed, and turned around to leave.

Let’s meet, brother.

Even if it weren't for the last two words, he still knew who wrote this.

He is very familiar with his handwriting because he has been copying it since he was a child.

If he hadn't deliberately changed it later, the handwriting became more and more similar to that of his mother and concubine, and the two people's handwriting was enough to be fake.

Pei Lin curled his lips lazily, the emperor's impatient look was really ridiculous.

We have to meet sooner or later, so why not meet today.

Walking up to the Treasure Pavilion step by step, each step reminded him of the emperor's brother meeting him in the attic when he was a child.

He had no master, so he gave him books and gave him what he had learned during the day.

He is not ungrateful.

His mother-in-law also died early, and he had been raised under the knee of Queen He since he was a child. He survived by pretending to be stupid and good.

I can't tell which one of them is more miserable.

He once said that not everyone is a little queen, and their mother is not a simple-minded and kind-hearted little fool like her.

She worked every step of the way until her father, the emperor, did not dare to touch the He family easily. The harem covered the sky with one hand, and they had to live in an open space under her knees. The emperor's brother tolerated it for more than twenty years.

He is still not sure whether he is lucky or unlucky.

Pushing open the door in front of me, I could smell the familiar fragrance of agarwood, and I could hear his voice scolding him for being a waste and telling him to get up.

He watched with cold eyes as the young and ignorant man stepped into the trap prepared for him and was tricked into being bruised and tortured.

He just made sure to keep him alive.

Only then did he realize that the emperor's brother was not treating him well for his own sake.

He lacks a handy sword, a sword that is unsheathed just for him.

Never give up one day to polish him into what he is satisfied with.

Pei Lin sat down. There was no one in the room, so he waited patiently.

The door was slowly pushed open, and he raised his eyes without looking back, because the person behind him was not waiting for him.

"Your Royal Highness, Fourth Prince."

When others came around to him, Pei Lin raised his lips coldly.

He's an old acquaintance. It was Master Yun last night. He hid his voice and he didn't even recognize it.

Yun Shen bowed to him respectfully and lowered his head, "Master, would you like to greet Your Highness?"

"He didn't come, so why did he choose to identify himself to Gu today."

It was not a question, he was sure that he was not present today.

"Your Highness asked you when you can go back?"

"My father will not go back without Zhao Gu."

"Your Majesty also doesn't know that you are Lord Pei now," Yun Shen kowtowed to him as soon as he finished speaking, "The master ordered the slave to say so."

The imperial brother really knew him well. Pei Lin took a sip of tea slowly and asked, "He couldn't wait any longer. Something happened?"

"Yes, the master found a chronic poison from your majesty's palace. He didn't dare to alert the snake, so he just reduced the dosage. However, it won't last much longer. That's why I asked the slave to ask you to go back."

The imperial brother could not bear to let go of Da Qi's piece of meat, but he also gestured to swallow the bigger piece.

"When did you start preparing?"

"A year ago, the monks in the temple were all farmers from nearby villages. They had no choice but to join voluntarily and work hard for the master. However, the master is all for you. He said that if you are willing to go back, they will all be yours. Is it to force the palace or to

You can help another puppet if you want. It's up to you, as long as you give me a date to go back."

"I will definitely go back, but not now. Tell him, no later than the middle of next year."

"I'm afraid the master can't wait."

Pei Lin chuckled and could only say whatever he wanted.

Yun Shen was still a little afraid when facing him. He was sent to Daqi a few years ago, supposedly to help him, but in fact it was for surveillance.

He almost died at the hands of the people around him several times, and he also saw how capable he was. He stepped on human bones and paved the way with blood to climb up. He was really ripped from the underworld.

"Does it have anything to do with you not going back?"

Pei Lin raised his eyes, his eyes like ice blades piercing the chest of the person in front of him.

Yun Shen swallowed. The little Highness who had no idea back then and only knew how to ask his master has become like this now. Any lie can be broken in front of him without being attacked, and people dare not deceive anyone.

"Master knows that between you and the Queen of Daqi, between you and her..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Lin heard Wang Lai's voice, hovering in the stairwell, looking so anxious.

He frowned, shouldn't he be protecting the little queen now?

"Sir!" Wang Lai pushed open the door with almost all his strength. The moment he saw him, he fell to his knees and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty was taken away by them."

"What did you say?"

Pei Lin crushed the cup in his hand in an instant, and the fragments turned into sharp blades and went straight towards Yun Shen's neck, "Where is she!"

The cold voice pierced the air of Zhenbao Pavilion, and he was already trying to restrain himself, wanting to find her more safely.

The fragments pierced Yun Shen's skin inch by inch, and he shook his head in confusion.

It shouldn't be, because he was afraid that His Highness the Fourth Prince would be alienated from him, so the master did not tell him that he would harm the Queen of Daqi.

"I don't know, this servant did not do this. Your Highness knows it for sure."

"After you left, the group of monks came and said they wanted to see the empress, but the slave didn't let them in because she didn't seem to be well-intentioned. They forced their way in."

Wang Lai hung his head guiltily. The formation they formed was too difficult to break. He could defeat them one by one, but together, it was really difficult for him to resist with his own strength.

There were blood holes all over his body, and the blood couldn't stop oozing out, staining all his clothes.

Seeing that he couldn't resist, the empress took the initiative to come out.

"The slave is incompetent. The slave deserves to be killed. Please kill the slave. Please kill the slave."

"roll."

Pei Lin stood up. Yun Shen's expression didn't look like he was lying. He was obviously stunned when he heard it just now.

The evil energy in his eyes was turbulent, filled with bloodthirsty killings. Not only did they touch his reverse scales, they even tried to pull them off.

Yun Shen had no doubt that if she was not in their hands, he would immediately bloodbath the place until he found her.

"Is this what you mean, a lonely person?"

The dagger in his cuff rose and fell, and with one blow he cut off one of Yun Shen's fingers.

"If you can't find her, you will not be able to die alone."

After saying that, he fluttered his sleeves and walked away, and Wang Lai followed tremblingly.

It was so fast that it was almost impossible to see how he drew the knife, and Yun Shen didn't even feel the pain.

When he reacted, he grabbed his wrist and screamed in pain, but he quickly stopped the bleeding and followed his footsteps.

He really saw how important Queen Daqi was to His Highness. If anything happened to her, His Highness would probably fight with his master to the death.
