He didn't need to look for it. As soon as he left the Treasure Pavilion, there was someone waiting outside.

The leader was a rough man. Although he was wearing the simple clothes of a monk, his appearance was fierce.

Pei Lin stood with his hands behind his hands. No matter how calm and casual he looked, he knew that his heart was burning like a candle. He resisted and refrained from killing her, wanting to ensure that she was safe.

The big man swallowed, inexplicably not daring to meet his gaze.

I have long heard of the reputation of the ‘Human Emperor’, and when I saw it today, it was well-deserved.

Chill seeped into his heart from every inch of his body, and he couldn't help but tremble in his calves in front of him.

Yun Shen, who had followed him down, saw them clearly, stepped forward and pointed at his nose, "Wang Shi, what are you doing!"

Seeing a familiar face, Wang Shiyou roared, and laughed together with the brothers behind him, "Isn't this Mr. Yun? You really think I'm stupid for asking me and my brothers to work for you. I'm just here to kill you powerful people.

Yes, bah, if you’re not lucky, what do you think you are?”

"Wang Shi, the master is kind enough to take you and your brothers in. Please hurry up and send the queen back safely, and I will spare your life."

"What do you want?"

Pei Lin's voice interrupted the conversation between the two. His voice was low and cold, not like a living person.

Since she didn't do anything after tying her up, she must be trying to get something.

Wang Shi coughed and emboldened himself, "I'm afraid this is Mr. Pei. We don't want to think about anything. We just want to be the emperor and have fun. We brothers will take turns."

"you,........"

Wang Lai was so angry that he drew his sword and pointed it at them.

"Okay, let's meet the person first."

Pei Lin raised his lips, half-smiling, but his eyebrows remained cold and stern.

"Please."

Wang Shi imitated the gesture of invitation and led the three of them underground.

The further down he went, the colder his breath became. How dare they take her to a place like this.

Wang Lai felt it, and his hand on the sword tightened. He could kill him even if the master asked him to.

After finishing the last step, Wang Shi clapped his hands.

Pei Lin saw that her mouth was covered, and another man put his arm around her neck and took her out. She struggled desperately towards him with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Cui next to her was also chained by the neck.

His fingers flew and he threw out the knife, stabbing into the man's heart in an instant.

The man only had time to twitch twice and fell down before he even had time to spit out blood.

Pei Lin raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. Yes, he was very sensible and didn't dirty her clothes.

"you!"

Wang Shi immediately pointed the tip of the sword at Bai Yan's neck, and Wang Lai and Yun Shen also drew their swords in an instant.

Bai Yan closed her eyes nervously, gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Pei Lin stared at her tearful yet surprisingly calm eyes.

There was no pleading in her eyes at this moment, as if she was asking him to give up on her directly.

In the end, he raised his hand first to signal Wang Lai to put down his sword. He couldn't afford the gamble.

After they put down their swords, Wang Shi and others looked at each other and put them down hesitantly. They did not dare to approach her again and could only leave one sword facing her.

"sorry."

Bai Yan stood in the middle, reaching out her hand as if she could touch him, but the tip of the knife on her neck prevented her from moving. She trembled and cried to him.

She remembered that he said not to run around, so she just sat in the room and didn't go anywhere.

However, Cai and Xiaocui didn't exchange a few words, and he didn't know what was going on outside.

She was worried about some conspiracy and didn't dare to go out. So she sent Xiaocui out to take a look. As soon as Xiaocui went out, Wang Lai pushed him in.

He asked them to close the doors and windows, and he would try his best to wait until the adults came back.

But seeing him, they couldn't hold on any longer. If he died, they wouldn't be able to survive, so why risk their lives.

She had no choice but to step out on her own and fall into their hands to threaten him.

She was very careful and really obedient, but in the end she still dragged him down.

Bai Yan bit the corner of her lip and nodded seriously to him, her eyes burning with determination.

She was telling him that it didn't matter and that he could give up on her. She knew he could understand.

Pei Lin shook his head, raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently, as if to coax her not to be afraid.

It was him who left her alone in the morning, so she should be blamed.

The appearance of the imperial brother made him lose his mind. He didn't expect that it was his fault.

Yun Shen's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment, hesitating about his position. He didn't know whether they had betrayed their master, or whether the order given by his master was different from the beginning.

"Let her go, and I can agree to whatever you want."

"Do you think I'm stupid? If I let her go, wouldn't you kill me? Who knows if you can make me emperor?"

Become an emperor? Bai Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. These bandits dared to think so.

After Wang Shi finished speaking, he was scared. Remembering what he had just done, the knife in his hand was closer to Bai Yan's neck, "You, stretch out your hand."

"Your life is still useful."

Pei Lin stroked his hands and kept his gaze on her. His eyes were not as frightening and sinister as before, but calm and steady as usual, soothing her fear.

"You are too strong, we can't trust you. Let's do this, drink this and I will let her go."

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms. There was a sound of liquid sloshing in the white porcelain bottle. Bai Yan stretched out her hand to grab it.

But Wang Shi had already raised his hand and threw it towards the person opposite.

"What is this? I advise you to take care of yourself. If you stop now, I can save your life!"

"Shut up," Wang Shi raised his sword angrily, "It's a kind of poison, you can drink it or not. That's right, it's really not worth it for a woman."

He chuckled and said, "However, you are a very good-looking woman. It's a pity that you are dead."

After he finished speaking, he saw the person in front of him curling his lips into a cold smile, and Wang Shi shut up in fear.

Pei Lin turned the porcelain bottle in his hand. The porcelain bottle was white and without any trace of patterns. It was hard to tell what it was from its appearance.

"Let the people go first."

He wasn't sure what was in it, wasn't sure how he would react if he drank it, and wasn't sure he could take her away from here soberly.

"There's no need to talk. If she doesn't drink for ten, I'll stab her to death."

Wang Shi was unsure. If he really refused to drink and took action without caring about her life, they would have almost no chance of winning.

He was just thinking about which direction to hide in if the fight really broke out, when he saw the person in front of him remove the stopper from the bottle.

"Don't drink! Pei Lin! I order you not to drink!"

The sword around her neck prevented her from moving at all. Bai Yan stared at him and shook her head desperately.

She regretted it, really regretted it. She shouldn't have provoked him, she shouldn't have ruined him. She should have listened to his words and been sent out of the palace long ago, and things wouldn't have happened now.

Pei Lin smiled, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

When did this little guy dare to order him?

He raised his hand and got closer before smelling a very familiar smell.

Gorgon fruit, the smile on his lips deepened.

This kind of fruit only grows in areas with hot climate. Places with distinct four seasons like Daqi cannot grow gorgon fruit at all. Only the Song Dynasty can grow it.

Bai Yan roared at him heartbreakingly, and Pei Lin drank it without hesitation.

There was a bitter burning sensation in the throat, the blood in the whole body was as cold as if it had frozen, and the ears suddenly became clear.

He could see her shouting his name, and Wang Lai beside her was also shouting, but he couldn't hear her at all.

A short and sharp ringing in the ears rang through the left and right, and he could hear her crying again.

His expression didn't change for a moment, as calm as if he were drinking tea.

He turned the bottle upside down to indicate that he had finished drinking. The king was really afraid of him, especially because his expression did not look like a living person, so he tremblingly withdrew his sword.

Bai Yan fiercely threw herself into his arms.

"Pei Lin!"

He raised his hands and hugged her tightly, feeling happy to have found her again.

Bai Yan even heard him laugh, "It's okay, he won't want me to die."

The hand around her couldn't stop trembling, and Pei Lin turned back behind him calmly.

This poison was mostly used to suppress his internal strength or weaken his martial arts. The emperor brother was reluctant to poison him to death like this.

Bai Yan hugged his neck and cried loudly.

His casual look made her even more panicked. He showed nothing on his face. She worriedly kept touching him up and down, asking him if he felt uncomfortable somewhere.

"I am willing to do so. Even if the queen wants my life, I will give it to you with both hands."

Pei Lin smiled, leaned over and kissed her face, repeating what she said a few days ago when she was acting coquettishly.

Bai Yan's tears flowed even harder. What was he talking about? She didn't want his life, she wanted him to live well.

Wang Lai, who was standing aside, was shocked and speechless. He always felt that the empress was important to adults, but not that important. Now the empress is more important than the lives of adults.

Yun Shen did the same, drawing out his sword and confronting him. The master probably didn't want to poison the Fourth Highness, they must have betrayed the master.

Now was not the time to cry. Bai Yan reacted and wiped away her tears, turned around and stood in front of him, "You can let us go now."

"Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise. I am the emperor, hahahaha. Let's go back."

Wang Shi raised his head and laughed. One was poisoned, the other two were mediocre in martial arts, and the other was a woman. He was determined to be the emperor.

The brothers beside him drew their swords and forced them to retreat step by step.

Pei Lin put his arms around Bai Yan from behind and pulled her behind him.

Even though she was a little thing that couldn't be lifted with her hands, she still dared to stand in front of him. She was so stubborn as if she wanted to protect him, and she was so cute and silly.

"Take her out."

He took the sword from Wang Lai and turned his retreating steps into an active attack.

Wang Shi didn't react for a moment and shouted in a panic, "Set up the formation, set up the formation!"

The sword suddenly appeared, heads fell to the ground around him, and screams could not be heard. Only then did he realize that all skills were useless in the face of absolute power.

Pei Lin pinched the blood that splashed on his cheek, and the smell of blood made him excited.

They were all left over from his play, and he took them out as treasures, and the white clothes were quickly stained with the scarlet color of blood.

"Go help him, Wang Lai, let's go."

Although she didn't know who he was, Bai Yan knew that she couldn't stay here and drag him down.

She looked back at him deeply, turned around and ran out.

After the three of them saw the light of day again, they discovered that they had been surrounded by their people outside.

When they saw it, they looked at each other and rushed forward with their knives in hand.

Wang Lai was more than enough to deal with them. While protecting Bai Yan and Xiao Cui, he drove towards the carriage outside the temple.

When Bai Yan was running forward behind Wang Lai, someone suddenly knocked her on the shoulder and dragged her back.

She screamed and was supported by a pair of hands on her waist.

"Walk."

"Pei Lin!"

His body was dripping with blood, and Bai Yan could only hope that it would be without him.

She wanted to grab his hand, but Pei Lin missed it, "Let's go first."

"Let's go together!"

Pei Lin nodded. He had originally planned to go together. He didn't get entangled with Wang Shi because he was worried that they wouldn't be able to protect her.

Bai Yan insisted on holding his hand, she didn't care whose blood was on his hand.

The carriage was speeding, and looking out the window, they were chasing after them on horseback.

After all, the carriage couldn't outrun the horses, and the distance between them got closer and closer.

When she was taken away, all the concubines were controlled together, but she has no mind to care about them now.

This group of people obviously came for them. Wang Shi, a fool, thought that he would be able to successfully take the throne if Pei Lin died, but little did he know that there was still a lot waiting for him.

Pei Lin opened the car curtain and told Wang Lai where to go next. His people were also on the way. If they went straight ahead from this road, they should meet each other in less than a day.

"Don't be afraid, Wang Lai will protect you."

He turned the knife in his hand and put it into his cuff, then hooked his hand and asked Yun Shen to pull out his sword and hand it to him.

Bai Yan looked at his movements blankly, and suddenly had a bad premonition. She held down his wrist and said, "You, what are you going to do? Are you going to do something?"

His eyes were still calm, and with tears in his eyes, Bai Yan grabbed his wrist hard.

He was suddenly very far away from her, as if she was going to lose him in the next second, and she was panicked and scared.

Pei Lin sighed, not wanting her to be stained with blood, so he didn't hug her. He turned his head and kissed her lips, "Behave, I'll be fine, trust me."

The kiss was fleeting, and he didn't dare to give himself a chance to indulge in it, fearing that he would be reluctant to leave.

"I trust you and am obedient, so don't leave. Didn't we agree to leave together?"

She pouted her lips and acted coquettishly. He forgot half of what she said. Pei Lin smiled helplessly. It was really a treasure engraved on his heart and lungs.

"I promise I will come back, okay. Don't cry, you will definitely be able to see me tomorrow."

In fact, he was not sure. This was the first time he had done something he was not sure about.

The poison was weakening his physical strength every moment, and he could no longer drag it out.

He let go of her hand and jumped out of the speeding carriage.
