Thinking about it, Li Fuquan secretly made up his mind and called his other apprentice to whisper in his ear.

After saying that, the young apprentice left without hesitation in the opposite direction of Li Fuquan.

"Xiao Luzi, go and send a message to Guard Chen who is guarding the door today. Tell him that the emperor wants to see General Pei's official documents for some reason. Go quickly and remember to send a message to Guard Chen quietly. If Guard Chen is not here, you can't

Tell someone else."

Xiao Luzi kept Li Fuquan's words in mind. Although he didn't know what kind of relationship the guard Chen had with General Pei, he still followed his master's words without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao Luzi walking away, Li Fuquan knew that he should do what the emperor had told him to do. He looked at the whisk in his hand, full of doubts. Wasn't he looking at the portrait of Concubine Ru? Why?

Remember General Pei?

Could it be that he doubted General Pei's loyalty to him?

Impossible, Li Fuquan shook his head, saying that anyone in the world could rebel, but General Pei was the only one, although he didn't know why he had such an idea.

Perhaps it was the awe-inspiring righteousness of General Pei that convinced him.

Thinking about this, Li Fuquan set off for the Bamboo Pavilion where the rubbings of the household registration documents of all the officials of the imperial court were kept.

However, just when he thought that the tip-off was going to be foolproof, Xiao Luzi was stopped by someone.

"Where do you work as a servant? Our little master calls you, why don't you come over to say hello!"

In the imperial garden, Xiao Luzi had just passed the lotus pond when he was stopped by the maid next to the concubine who was sitting on the swing not far away. The maid was so arrogant and raised her chin high that she wanted to look at people with her nostrils.

Xiao Luzi was anxious, but the rules in the palace were strict and he did not dare to disobey them, so he had no choice but to step forward to greet them.

"My servant Xiaoluzi has seen the concubine Yi, and I wonder what the concubine has given her."

It turns out that the woman sitting on the swing, wearing clothes and headdress that looked like a concubine, was just a concubine. This woman was favored more than ten years ago. The emperor made her a concubine and gave her the title "Yi", but after so many years,

After that, she was still a concubine.

There are actually not many women in the emperor's harem, and even fewer with status. A while ago, the queen was the largest in the harem. Later, the queen was deposed. I thought that this harem was the world of Concubine Rong, but I didn't want her to be unfortunately eliminated.

The second prince is confined to the Palace of Rejuvenation, and Xiao Luzi has never seen the imperial concubine until now.

Under Concubine Rong is a concubine with the title "Xiu", but she suffers from a cough. When the weather gets cold, Concubine Xiu doesn't go out much. Of course, there are a few concubines without titles. These concubines are all Xi Jing.

Yeah, I don’t usually interact with people that much.

Next comes the Yi concubine. There are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is called the king, and there is no more noble empress in the harem. This Yi concubine can’t wait to come out and show off her power.

Xiaoluzi murmured to himself, and concubine Yi's commanding voice came from above his head, "Xiaoluzi, go and help me pick up the handkerchiefs in the pool. If you do it well, I will reward you greatly. You

If you don't do it well, I will punish you."

Now that the lotus blooming season has passed, there are only some lotus pods and scorched and withered lotus leaves left in the pond. There are many fewer servants in the palace. Someone should have come to clean up these miserable scenes, but now the pond is left alone.

Lose yourself.

Xiao Luzi turned his head and looked into the pool, and saw an apricot-colored handkerchief floating in the middle of the pool. It was approaching late autumn, and it didn't take much to think that the water in the pool must be bitingly cold, not to mention that he was still shouldering the errand assigned by his master.

"I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the job. Your Majesty, I'd better find someone else. Your master, Eunuch Li, will act on my behalf and retrieve the sachet that Master left behind at the palace gate within one stick of incense. Please forgive me."

He revealed his identity as Li Fuquan's apprentice, thinking that even if Yi Bi didn't give him face, she would still give Li Fuquan some face.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Yi showed her ruthlessness after hearing this, "Why, I am the master, can't I still control you slaves? What about Li Fuquan, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a eunuch, I am

Go and get it if I tell you to, if you keep talking too much, I might tear your mouth out!"

Not only that, she also raised her foot and kicked Xiao Luzi on the shoulder. The label on her face seemed to want to eat people alive. Xiao Luzi didn't know where this woman came from with such great malice. He, who had always been cowardly, did not dare to resist, so he had to carry it.

Go into the pool with your pants down.

Although Li Fuquan deliberately slowed down his search for documents, Pei Mo's official documents were eventually placed on the emperor's desk.

"Please step back, I want to stay by myself for a while."

The emperor looked at the bamboo slips in his hand line by line, and waved his hand casually, but he gave up Li Fuquan's intention of staying in the imperial study and watching the changes.

After leaving the imperial study room, he anxiously paced back and forth on the steps in front of the door, expecting Xiao Luzi to bring him good news.

In the imperial study, the emperor spread out the portrait that the palace painter had painted for Pei Mo when he first became an official in the court. He also placed the portrait of Sheng Xiujing next to him. He looked to the left and then to the right.

Under some dim candlelight, the dim yellow light illuminated the two portraits. They seemed to be two different people, or one person in two different periods.

"It looks like, it really looks like..."

After careful comparison, the emperor let out a stunned murmur, and then slumped down on his chair as if he was exhausted. The eyes of the two portraits seemed to be watching him silently.

The artist's skills are so skillful that if Pei Mo were here, he would definitely have a bad idea. The artist painted almost every detail on his face, including the small mole under his neck closest to his collar.

And this mole was also found on the neck of young Sheng Xiujing.

The emperor seemed to have noticed this detail. He gently touched the neck of Sheng Xiujing's portrait with his hand, as if feeling the subtle pulse of the neck.

The moment he touched the paper, the emperor suddenly realized. Was he in a daze? How could he feel that his son was right in front of him?

There was a dull pain in his heart, and the old emperor's eyes were cloudy. He slowly sighed out the depression in his chest, turned his eyes to Pei Mo's portrait, and had an idea in his mind.

Maybe his son is right in front of him?

The childish voice in the memory that belonged to Sheng Xiujing resurfaced again, and the child's voice and smile appeared in front of his eyes in a trance. Those images flashed by like a revolving lantern, and soon, Sheng Xiujing's face overlapped with that of Pei Mo.

The emperor swallowed the blockage in his throat and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come here, Pei Mo, the general of Xuanzhen Kingdom, comes to the palace to meet the emperor!"

The sound echoed in the huge palace, but eventually it was lonely. Li Fuquan, who never waited for Xiao Luzi, could only push the door open and enter.
