cpa300_4(); In the face of Li'er's request, I frowned and did not speak for a while.

She also looked at me cautiously: "Mother, is it okay?"

“……”

I looked at her with a complicated expression.

When I heard her words just now, my chest tightened suddenly, I don't know if it was palpitations or heartbeats, although I knew that this request didn't matter who in the whole world, even if Pei Yuanhao came to tell me in person, I wouldn't agree, but only Li'er, only she spoke, would make me hesitate.

Because, she just wants a complete home, and even, she doesn't want a complete home composed of her father and mother with her, she just wants this home to give her the feeling.

Even if it's temporary.

Tomorrow may be the only day in her life when she can be reunited with her father and mother, so she will use the word "begging" for me.

The bitterness and sourness in my heart were almost welling up, but my eyes were already blurry.

In the chaotic sight, I could still see her big bright eyes, looking at me with the light of infinite expectation, like a person who has been thirsty for half a life, begging for a bowl of water.

However, I can't answer that question.

I'm even hesitating, do I want her to cross the river again, Pei Yuanhao's assassination is such a big thing, fortunately I didn't hurt the innocent today, I didn't hurt Li'er, what if someone assassinated and injured Li'er?

And-

I thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly: "Li'er, do you still want to go?"

She looked at me a little nervously and nodded her head immediately, as if she was afraid that I would not let her go again.

I frowned slightly: "But-what if your father is in danger and hurts you?"

"I'm not afraid. She immediately shook her head: "I think my father can protect me, even if there is danger, I am not afraid!"

Her firm answer made me speechless.

Seeing me hesitate like this, she gently pinched the corner of my clothes and shook it again: "Mother." ”

I looked down into her eyes, thought for a while, and asked softly, "Li'er, you didn't think about asking your father to stay, or, did you think that your father would-"

Li'er seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, maybe that was what she had thought, at this moment, her eyes were even more gloomy, and she hung her head for a while before she said softly: "It's been two days, and my father hasn't wanted to recognize me." ”

“……”

"Don't sue me either. ”

“……”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at me, her eyes were as clear and cool as water, but at this moment they were covered with a faint haze, as if something was covering her innocence, robbing her of pleasure, and adding sadness to her life that she had never felt before: "My mother said that he went to give happiness to other people, I think, my father probably doesn't want to-"

Without waiting for her to finish, I hugged her hard into my arms and hugged her hard.

At this moment, the pain in my heart is beyond measure—my daughter, she is obviously still so young, and she has not even realized that the things of men and women are incivil, but she is so delicate and sensitive, she knows who her biological father is, and accompanies him every day, but she does not ask, does not break the illusion of peace, and even feels that when the other party does not want to recognize each other, she accompanies him to play this scene.

I, Pei Yuanhao, what exactly did we do to our daughter?

How much has she suffered these days?

I choked up and said softly, "Li'er ......"

……

The night was already deep.

Li'er fell asleep in my arms, but even when she fell asleep, I could see her little eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her mouth kept muttering something softly, and she wanted to listen carefully, but she couldn't hear anything clearly.

But I could feel that her dreams were not beautiful.

Sometimes, people's growth has to go through a long process, but sometimes, maybe just one thing, one injury, people grow up, and from that time on, dreams are no longer pure.

The current Li'er is probably like this.

Thinking of this, seeing that she already had a shallow frown, I lowered my head again and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

As if drawing a little strength and tenderness from this kiss, her sleeping face became a little calmer.

But my mood can't be calm.

There are so many things, so many things, like the undulating waves of the sea, surging in my heart.

Pei Yuanhao was stabbed, and this incident made me feel extremely uneasy.

It is not the assassination itself, but the hidden danger behind this assassination, who is going to assassinate the emperor?

All I know is a few things.

First, the last thing I want to see is that the person who assassinated him was Jinling, that is, the forces of Pei Yuanxiu's side.

However, this is indeed the most likely, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when Pei Yuanhao is so close to this hostile force, as soon as Pei Yuanhao dies, the Central Plains is in chaos, and Pei Yuanxiu, who has the identity of the former prince, will definitely become the most powerful person in the world to win the throne.

However, Pei Yuanxiu has not shown any signs like that these days, could it really be him?

Second, that is, my family, the power of Xichuan.

But I always feel that since Liu Qinghan went to Xichuan and then Wu Yanqiu went to Pei Yuanfeng's wedding, the relationship between Xichuan and the imperial court has entered a delicate stage, neither enemy nor friend, and friend and foe, in this case, it is unlikely that Yan Qingchen will send someone to assassinate.

However, it is by no means impossible, and there is still a powerful old lady Xue Qian in Xichuan who wants to fight against the imperial court at all times.

Third, it is neither the power of Jinling nor the power of Xichuan.

This, in fact, is the strictest situation.

Although it is not uncommon for the emperor to be assassinated in all dynasties, but it can really be done, and there are not many people close to the emperor, this time the assassination and Pei Yuanhao are only one floor apart, and even let Wu Yanqiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, break out in a cold sweat, and say the words "crisis" to the emperor, which shows the strictness of the situation.

And I immediately realized a group of people.

They are powerful and powerful, but they are being seized by Pei Yuanhao, just as I am worried that the forces of Jinling will assassinate Pei Yuanhao, they must also have a grudge against this emperor who does not know the times, and they want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Wei Ningyuan is right, these people will not be loyal to the king, whoever gives them benefits, they will follow, and in the same way, whoever deprives them of their interests, of course they will hate whom, even-

If, this time it was not Jinling or Xichuan who assassinated Pei Yuanhao, then the situation would really be as Wu Yanqiu said, it would be a crisis!

Then, which party planned this assassination of Pei Yuanhao?

|

Almost half-asleep, the sky was dawning.

I don't know how long I slept, I just felt dizzy and uncomfortable, but I saw the morning light outside through the window, lighting up the whole room, and Li'er yawned and opened his eyes in my arms.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the clear eyes of the sheared water seemed to still carry the confusion of a dream, but there was also a clear longing, and they immediately looked at me.

"Mother......

"Li'er is awake, wake up when you wake up. ”

I patted her face and got out of bed first.

She sat on the bed in a daze with her hair messy, and looked at me for a long time, before she finally came to her senses, and I urged her again, and she obediently changed into the clothes I had prepared for her, and then got out of bed, and in a short time the servants brought hot water towels for us to wash, and a table was set up for the delicate breakfast.

Li'er and I didn't speak, we sat down quietly to eat, and while eating, I saw the maid who came to "ventilate" to me yesterday standing at the table, with an expression of wanting to say something, as if she wanted to say something to me, but she was afraid of what I said yesterday, and she couldn't say it.

I ignored her either, and just lowered my head and drank my own porridge.

Because I didn't sleep well and didn't have much appetite, a small bowl was enough, and I was about to put down the bowl, but she couldn't wait to reach over and continue: "Madam, I'll come." ”

I glanced up at her and nodded faintly.

She took the bowl and held it, looked outside the door again, no one came, and whispered, "Madam, he hasn't gotten up yet." ”

"Oh?"

I frowned slightly.

Seeing my "oh" voice, she seemed to be encouraged, and continued: "Last night, the light in the study was lit all night, and the son handled official business all night, and only then did he lie down on the couch in the study. Miss Zitong has just ordered that no one should disturb Childe's rest. ”

I didn't speak, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw Li'er holding the porridge and looking at us with big eyes.

I subconsciously frowned - this maid probably still wants to try to cling to me, and I think that Li'er is also my daughter anyway, and she can't get rid of the open and secret battles in this house, and she is jealous, maybe she will also be involved in these things in the future, so I didn't avoid her when I spoke, but the last thing I want is to let Li'er come into contact with these things, and I don't want her to have a little sticking to these things in the future.

So, my face sank for a moment, but the maid thought that I was angry about this matter, and hurriedly said, "Madam, if Madame commands, the slave maid will go over and inform the son." Originally, Childe was just going to take a nap, so he was going to accompany Madame-"

Before she could finish her sentence, I had already interrupted her: "No need to say it. ”

“……”

I tried not to let myself get angry, but I couldn't help but stiffen my tone: "It's right for Childe to rest, since Miss Zitong has ordered this, don't bother him." ”

I have always been kind and temperamental in this house, so the servants thought that I was gentle and amiable, but now that I suddenly lowered my face like this, even if I did not get angry, it was enough to frighten the maid.

She didn't dare to take a breath for a moment, took a step back, and looked at us cautiously.

I lowered my head again and urged Li'er: "Hurry up and eat, my mother will send you to the dock after eating." ”

Li'er didn't know why, but when he saw that I was urging, he could only nod and quickly drank the last few mouthfuls of porridge in the bowl.

After breakfast and rinsing my mouth, I didn't pay any attention to the maid, and walked out with Li'er.

The carriage was prepared under Pei Yuanxiu's orders on the first day, and it was already waiting at the door, and when they saw us coming out, those entourages hurriedly greeted us, and the pomp and circumstance were similar to the previous two days, and there were even some more people and horses following behind.

I also understood, and naturally it was also ordered by Han Zitong.

She didn't let people disturb Pei Yuanxiu's rest, she made her own opinion, and Pei Yuanxiu couldn't blame her for waking up for such a trivial matter, but in case something happened to me and Li'er on the road, or if something happened to Pei Yuanhao's side, it would be completely different from not waking up Pei Yuanxiu.

Although she has a bad temper, she is not stupid.

I smiled faintly and walked over with Li'er.

However, every time I got into the carriage before, I was accompanied by Pei Yuanxiu, he would take Li'er into the carriage, and he would carefully help me up, but today without him, the two of us stood in front of the carriage and paused.

When an attendant next to him saw it, he immediately smacked himself lightly, hurriedly took out a small wooden stool from under the car and put it in front of us, bowed his head and said, "The little one is negligent, the little one should be damned." ”

I smiled: "Where it should be killed." ”

After speaking, he was about to take Li'er to step up, but as soon as he took a step, he heard a sound of footsteps behind him.

Li'er immediately turned around.
