Here, Pei Zhiyi followed Jun Qingge to her independent bedroom in the palace.

"Zhiyi, please sit down."

Pei Zhiyi didn't bother to be polite and just asked her to sit down.

"Is there anything you need to discuss with me?"

"Of course it's the fact that Jun Ting died."

Jun Qingge's expression grew serious. "My intuition tells me that although the direct attackers against Jun Ting may not be human, they are definitely related to my royal brothers."

"Why do you say that? Why didn't you say it just now?"

"Why didn't I tell you just now? It's because Director Ye is still serving my father. I don't trust her as much as I trust you."

"As for why I say that, there's something you may not know yet." Jun Qingge paused and poured Pei Zhiyi a glass of water. "I know you don't like tea, so I specially prepared some water."

"Thank you."

"My father always wanted to cultivate to become an immortal. I don't know how many evil things he did behind the scenes. But I can tell you for sure that the deceased eldest prince is not my biological brother. My eldest brother died long ago. The one who died now is a substitute for my eldest brother, who was trained by my father."

"As for why I keep this substitute, perhaps it's to prepare for the thunder tribulation I'll face on the day I become an immortal."

Pei Zhiyi frowned slightly, "Continue."

"I have a feeling that my father would be so furious after the death of this substitute Jun Ting. Someone must have known that he was about to succeed."

Pei Zhiyi shook his head. "According to what you said, once the Human King completes his cultivation and becomes an immortal, then this position will be vacated. But now that this substitute is dead, the most important step for your father to become an immortal has been interrupted. If it was your brothers who did it, why did they do it? Wouldn't it be easier for them to compete for this position if it was vacated?"

“That’s something I don’t quite understand.”

Jun Qingge propped his chin up with both hands and sighed deeply, "Perhaps some people are dissatisfied with the fact that Father values ​​Jun Ting so much as a substitute, and they don't know why Father values ​​him so much. They just think that Father wants him to be his heir. Perhaps this is why they have the killing intent."

"That's not without reason, but it brings us back to our original point of conflict."

Discussing these brain-consuming things, Pei Zhiyi poured himself another glass of water.

"The contradiction is, if it was really one of the Human King's children who killed Jun Ting, and he was able to brazenly let everyone know and provoke your father's wrath, then this is completely unnecessary." Pei Zhiyi paused, "Have your royal brothers been getting close to any strange people recently?"

Taking advantage of the human race's lantern festival, many people from other races also came.

Perhaps some people with ulterior motives took advantage of this good opportunity to sneak in and reach cooperation with their contacts.

"weirdo?"

Jun Qingge shook her head. "I usually live outside the palace in my own princess residence. My brothers and sisters haven't been crowned kings, so they've always lived inside the palace. Therefore, I don't know much about their situations."

"Then this matter will be very difficult to handle."

Pei Zhiyi shrugged. "Anyway, I'm only here for your and Ruoxi's safety. The truth is not that important to me."

"But if we don't find out the truth, what if the other party wants to continue and attack me?"

"I've been here all along. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do anything to you."

Pei Zhiyi still has this confidence.

After all, if the other party was really much stronger than her, why would he condescend to do something so low-class? He could just attack the Human King directly.

"I feel at ease with you around." Jun Qingge felt at ease when he saw Pei Zhiyi. "By the way, I just had someone tidy up your room for the next few days. I might have to trouble you to stay with me in the palace for the next few days."

Pei Zhiyi hummed casually and said, "I'm a person who can't sit still. You can't let me stay in the room all day. If I want to go out for some fresh air, do you have any token that can allow me to go anywhere?"

"That's for sure."

Jun Qingge gave Pei Zhiyi the jade pendant from his waist, but he couldn't help but remind him, "With my jade pendant, you can go to many places in this palace, but there are a few places that the emperor has expressly forbidden us from going to. They are also heavily guarded. If you pass by those places, it's best to take a detour, because the people guarding there are bad-tempered and very strong."

Pei Zhiyi raised his eyebrows. That’s quite interesting.

"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere I shouldn't go, and I'm not that free."

"It's not that you shouldn't go, I'm just worried about your safety."

Jun Qingge smiled and said, "After all, you are my most important trump card and precious treasure. If something happens to you, what should I do? The most important thing is, if something happens to you here, won't the Imperial Master come to trouble me?"

"What does this have to do with Gu Xizhou?"

Seeing Pei Zhiyi's confused face, Jun Qingge was shocked. Could it be that the Imperial Master hadn't confessed his feelings to the girl he liked until now?

"After all, you two have a different relationship."

"What's a different relationship? Aren't we just friends?"

The Grand Master did not confess.

Jun Qingge thought, then she wouldn't bother to burst this pink bubble, "They are also best friends. The Grand Master values ​​you very much, and I value you too, so naturally I have to protect you."

"alright."

That being said, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

"You take a rest first, I'll go out for a walk."

Jun Qingge agreed and waved towards Pei Zhiyi, "Don't forget what I just said, be careful. Also, the situation in the entire palace is quite tense right now. If you meet a man with a feminine and handsome appearance, it's best to avoid him. He's my third brother, and I still don't see through him."

Looks feminine and handsome?

Pei Zhiyi nodded casually, "I understand."

Why do I go out as if there is an old mother who is worried about me?

Pei Zhiyi was not clear about the layout of the palace, so he simply followed his heart and went wherever he went.

The most important thing is that since she entered the palace, or to be more precise, since the death of Jun Ting... she has had a very bad feeling, as if she would encounter danger or dangerous people at any time.

"Yiyi, you've already sensed the danger. Why don't we just stay in the princess's bedroom? Why do we have to come out?"

Bai Ze and Qilin only asked tentatively because they felt the person's breath and didn't want Pei Zhiyi to meet her so soon.
