13. There are thousands of square inches, but who speaks with others

Pei Nianyu tried hard to open his eyes.

Xiao Sheng was sitting beside his couch, the room was warm and bright, quiet and peaceful, gradually pulling him back to reality.

His head still hurts, and his whole body is extremely weak, but at least those hallucinations are gradually moving away from him.At this moment, he couldn't lift his head up, so he only stretched out his hand gently.

Seeing this, Pei Niancheng quickly grabbed him.

Pei Nianyu grasped the temperature in his hand, and the palm from Pei Niancheng was firm and powerful, and he gradually felt less scared and helpless than he was in the dream just now.

He turned his head and looked at Pei Niancheng's palm under the dragon robe, thinking that this is the dragon claw of the current emperor, and he didn't know what it would be like to stew it...

Pei Nianyu blinked, surprised for a moment by the absurd idea that appeared in Fang Cai's mind.It was only later that I realized that the hallucinogenic drugs had eroded my brain, and it hadn't completely faded away.

At any rate, I am awake now, I am afraid I can only wait for Lian Xiao's antidote for this headache.

"Pour me a glass of water."

"Okay bro."

Pei Niancheng was kind, and quickly handed him the qi-tonifying ginseng tea that had been warming on the table.

"What about the rest of them?"

"Lian Xiao is decocting medicine for you. Your two shadow heads, the maid, and your elder brother are all outside. I let them out just now."

Pei Nianyu sat up slowly under the support of Xiao Sheng, pinched the teacup with his fingers, and tried his best to keep it from shaking out.

Before sipping, he stared at the light brown soup-colored ginseng tea in the teacup, and suddenly thought in a daze:

The backlash of the drug effect should be suffered by both of them who are also in the dream seeking truth technique.

However, at this moment, he was lying in the comfortable palace, covered with a quilt of snow silkworm cotton, and drinking a thousand taels of ginseng.The room is lit with refreshing incense, and silver charcoal is warmed by the window.

Someone hurriedly prepared an antidote for him, and someone took care of his dressing and eating.His family and lover are by his side, and his subordinates look forward to his good health.

This is no longer the old nightmare, this is his reality.He is already blessed enough.

——What about Li Han?

The last image before he fainted came to his mind: the man was kicked down and curled up on the ground.

He is in prison, so of course no one will deliver medicine to him.

He blinked again, and thought to himself that his brain was really confused by the medicine, and I sympathized with him for what he did.

As if to cover up his guilty conscience, Pei Nianyu lowered his eyes and drank the ginseng tea slowly.

After drinking the ginseng tea, Pei Nianyu closed his eyes and rested for a moment, the hallucinations disappeared, and he gradually felt stronger.Pei Niancheng just watched from the sidelines without making any noise.

It wasn't until he felt that his consciousness was no longer in a trance that he opened his eyes and tried his best to smile:

"I've been waiting for a long time. The nightmare just now really frightened me."

Pei Niancheng felt a pain in his heart:

"No... Brother, you should take a good rest first, don't force yourself."

In fact, he had heard all the things his brother said in the nightmare, they were nothing more than the old stories of the teenagers in the palace that he couldn't bear to look back at.But for Pei Niancheng himself, these pains would not have been so deep in his bones.And he has long known that in the environment of the palace and court, bad people and unprovoked malice are the majority, and good people do not exist in a hundred after all.

He believed that his elder brother also knew this truth, but he, Pei Niancheng, acted tough, and whoever wanted to harm him, he would only find a way to kill the other party first.However, his brother's heart... Even if he knew about the darkness, he never fully accepted the rationality of this kind of thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the throne behind and ran away cleanly.

………………

Pei Nianyu pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and said:

"I already asked, about Li Han..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Nianyu suddenly felt that Pei Niancheng's hand, which was holding him, moved slightly.

Pei Nianyu thought clearly: Xiao Sheng is getting nervous.

He didn't point it out, but was secretly surprised that Xiao Sheng had already cultivated to hide his emotions and anger in the palace for many years, such a small revealing gesture was really hard to see.

He secretly sighed in his heart, since he was nervous, it meant...

Pei Nianyu reached out and put down the teacup, but didn't say it directly, but said first:

"I saw a lot of things with the secret technique I used, but I really want to hear what you think of him, Xiao Sheng."

Pei Niancheng was taken aback for a moment: "What do you think of him?"

"That's... before this, what kind of person do you think Li Han is?"

Pei Niancheng didn't know the truth about what his brother saw, so he couldn't guess his brother's intentions.He had no choice but to think for a while, neither praised nor derogatory, but used some more neutral terms:

"Well, very obedient."

"obedient?"

"Yes, just right, moderate obedience. Neither too obedient - too obedient is actually a performance of throwing responsibility to the superior. Nor is it like your family, who has big ideas."

"But when he first followed me, he was really obedient, which made me a little tired."

"Tired?"

"It's just...although he is good at martial arts and very smart, but at that time there were many decisions that he could handle by himself, but he couldn't handle it by himself. It's like... an AI that hasn't been well-tuned."

"I thought all shadow guards were like this. Fortunately, he is smart, so I taught him for a year or two. Afterwards, he gradually got better. There are some things and some people. He knows who should be relaxed or who should be pursued.Gradually, he doesn't need me to control his way of commanding subordinates."

"Later, my system has more and more energy, and there are more functions that can be developed. On the first day I built the functional framework of the loyalty of members of the faction, I checked all of them, and only he was full."

Pei Nianyu's mind was weak, and it took him a while to digest his words.Then asked:

"Is it now too?"

A trace of worry flashed in Pei Niancheng's eyes, but he still told the truth:

"yes."

Pei Nianyu nodded, closed his eyes and thought for a moment:

"Then there is nothing else besides being obedient?"

Pei Niancheng thought about it for a moment, then gradually turned his head away:

"I don't know if I should say it."

Pei Nianyu smiled, but his expression was a little weak:

"Just say it."

"He... Li Han is the only one other than my brother who really cares about me. There are many people around me, including those in the court, who care about me, but most of them are..."

Pei Nianyu looked at Xiao Sheng, wondering if it was because the light from the candles was too warm, or because the expression on his face was already gentle.In short, Pei Niancheng's expression gradually became a little...

He is very familiar with Xiao Sheng's eyes, very familiar.

Pei Nianyu knew exactly what this meant.He has never doubted his importance to Xiao Sheng, but Li Han is also to Xiao Sheng...

The room suddenly became so quiet.

After a while, Pei Niancheng thought that his brother was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, so he sighed:

"Brother, just tell me what you saw. I have seen a lot of turmoil in the past ten years, and I won't be confused because of this kind of thing. No matter what his status is, brother can just say it."

Pei Nianyu looked at it and nodded:

"That's true. Then I'm going to... tell you?"

Pei Niancheng let out a "huh", although he felt his pulse jump twice, he finally raised his head, pretending to be casual, and looked at his brother.

Unexpectedly, his elder brother kept staring at the teacup next to the bed, and he didn't know what's so good about that teacup.

"Li Han, he is actually..."

Pei Nianyu suddenly fell silent and continued to stare at the teacup.

Silence, silence.

However, the time for three breaths seems to have passed ten thousand years.

"...He is actually Chen Guifei, the mother of the Second Prince, who sent her as an undercover agent to your side. He originally wanted to be by your side to pass on news to them, but in a few years, the Chen family was completely wiped out, and no one cares about him."

Then Pei Nianyu briefly explained what happened like pouring beans.Li Han used to work for Concubine Chen, and later because the concubine was afraid of auspicious rumors, her age was changed and she was re-sent to the Shadow Guard Camp. An accident happened when she recognized the master, and she finally fell under his command.

He spoke in a hurry, and he was out of breath after speaking, so Pei Niancheng quickly poured him another cup of ginseng tea.

"So... just because he was an undercover agent, he never dared to tell me?"

Pei Nianyu seemed to have paused for a moment because he was drinking tea:

"……Ok."

The sleeves he raised while drinking tea blocked his face, and Pei Niancheng couldn't see his expression clearly.

Pei Nianyu put down the teacup and was relieved to see his younger brother insignificant.Afterwards, the tension in Pei Niancheng's eyes gradually disappeared, and he became lighter.

"Actually, I have already guessed many possibilities. His identity is not particularly bizarre. I am somewhat mentally prepared. He... Brother, have you seen what he did secretly after following me?Sending news?"

"……No."

Pei Niancheng quietly let out another long sigh of relief:

"Then he is not considered to have betrayed the Lord. In this way, it will not be difficult to deal with..."

Pei Nianyu leaned quietly on the bed, looking at his younger brother, his closest relative, with gentle eyes, who was whispering something quietly.

With a weak smile on the corner of his mouth, he slowly raised his hand and smoothed back the sweat-drenched hair on Pei Niancheng's forehead.

………………

Pei Niancheng didn't want to disturb his brother's rest, so he prepared to go back to the palace first.

Before leaving, Pei Niancheng specifically asked:

"Brother, if there is any extra antidote that your subordinates prepared for you, can I take one back to him?"

Pei Nianyu seemed to have talked too much, so he was very lethargic, so he just answered casually:

"You can ask Lian Xiao yourself."

Seeing his brother in such a state, Pei Niancheng didn't dare to talk to him any longer, so he hurried away.

Lou Yefeng saw that the master had woken up, so he hurried in.

"……Owner?"

He briefly tested his master's pulse, the pulse was stable, and his breath gradually picked up, he felt a little relieved.But seeing that the master was still looking sluggish, he felt something was wrong, and asked tentatively:

"But something went wrong with Li Han?"

Pei Nianyu only waved to him.

Lou Yefeng sat down as he said, but his master said:

"Closer."

Pei Nianyu stretched out his arms to embrace him, slowly tightened his body around him, and then buried his head in his shoulder.

Not long after, Lou Yefeng suddenly felt the cloth on his shoulders getting wet, and immediately realized that the master was crying.

He hastily asked:

"Master...? Master, if there is any difficulty, just tell me."

Pei Nianyu finally couldn't bear it anymore:

"Lin Han... used to be Concubine Chen Guifei's person, but changed his age..."

"The Peach Blossom Gu was placed on me by the order of Concubine Chen Gui when I was young..."

"I didn't dare to tell Xiaosheng, but you should know..."

"If it weren't for this Peach Blossom Gu, you and I wouldn't have been trapped by it for so many years..."

"Ye Feng, you almost died because of this..."

Lou Yefeng's heart shook suddenly.If Li Han was in the same camp as him for the second time, his years of experience in the Shadow Guard camp must not be comparable to Li Han's. No wonder he has not seen through his faults.

And the Peach Blossom Gu... Back then they also tracked it down for many years, but they only dealt with the source of the Peach Blossom Gu and the person who refined it.Unexpectedly, Li Han could not be found.

Li Han...how could he!

How could it be him!

Lou Yefeng was also in shock at this moment, but seeing his master's emotional difficulties, how dare he collapse first.He quickly hugged his master tightly in his arms with his backhand, and stroked his hair one by one:

"Don't be afraid, master, don't be afraid, I'm here. Master, look, I'm fine."

Someone was accepting his anger and grievance, and Pei Nianyu, who had been holding on until now, cried even harder:

"When I was in prison, I had a chance to kill him, maybe I should do it. But I... I don't have the heart..."

"Ye Feng, Xiao Sheng has feelings for Lin Han...I can tell..."

"what should I do……"

Lou Yefeng felt great grief in his heart, because of his master's fragility, but also because of his master's never wavering kindness.

He had no choice but to hold his master tighter.Use your own body temperature to help the owner confirm a little real warmth from the pain.

"Master, don't think about it if you can't think of a way. Grief hurts your body, master don't cry, take care of your body."

"Ye Feng, will you one day... leave me too..."

Lou Yefeng's throat choked, but his voice was soft but firm:

"No. Master, I will always be by your side."
