Pei Que couldn't understand what he was thinking, and when he asked the other party again, he stopped talking, so he had to follow him.

But the more he walked, the more wrong the direction became. He looked at the familiar palace in front of him, with a puzzled face, "Tian Zhen! Why are you taking me back to Hongning Palace?"

Tian Zhen lowered his body, "Master, our guards first found this...assassin..."

"The servant thought about it, nowhere is safe, so he brought it back to Hongning Palace!"

Pei Que became more and more curious when he heard his hesitation.

He strode into the Hongning Hall and followed Tian Zhen to the side hall.

Looking at Chang An standing at the gate of the hall, Pei Que felt a wave of confusion in his heart, and a thought surged from the bottom of his heart.

He opened the door of the palace, shut the two of them outside the palace, and entered alone.

The hall was quiet, and there was a person sitting on the chairs on both sides, dressed as a dancer, with his hands and feet tied together.

Pei Que took a deep breath, walked over nervously, and looked at the woman in front of him.

Half a pretty face, a pair of bright eyes and kind eyes, with a wooden mask underneath.

He knew that Tian Zhen had always been very measured in his words and actions, and would not bring people back for no reason. Moreover, Chang An, who had been scouting out for news, came back with him. It seemed that this woman was really extraordinary.

So...could it be her?

When the woman saw him, the emotions in her eyes became more complicated.

Joy, resentment, grievance, anxiety and all kinds of emotions are entangled together, but nothing is said.

Pei Que reached out and slowly took off the mask, revealing a bright and beautiful face.

This face overlaps with the round face of the little girl in my memory, and it looks very much like myself...

No wonder, no wonder Tian Zhen would quietly bring him back...

He held the mask tightly in his hand, his arms froze in place, and he was too shocked to speak for a long time.

The woman's eyes were red, but she remained stubborn and said nothing.

After a long time, he heard his own voice trembling, and asked a question, "Yan'er?"

The woman had tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth, and turned her head away from him.

"Who is Yan'er? Lord Qiantui, don't mistake him!"

"I am the assassin who wants to kill the dog emperor today, and I have nothing to do with the noble Chitose Lord of the Great Zhou!"

As she spoke, tears kept rolling down, and at the end, her words were choked up.

"Yan'er..."

Pei Que looked at her with red eyes, "Brother...Brother has been looking for you..."

He tried hard not to shed tears in front of the other party.

"My brother... has been looking for you all these years..."

"My brother worries about you day and night, but no matter how hard I look, I can't find you..."

The woman wiped her tears, "What else do you want from me?"

"Just treat me as dead!"

Pei Que took a step forward and grabbed his arm, "Yan'er, how could my brother not look for you?"

"You were only six years old at the time, so young, you were taken away from Pei's mansion...Brother was afraid that something might happen to you!"

"My brother has been in the palace for so many years, why didn't you send a letter, why didn't you come to me?"

When the woman heard these words, tears flowed even more fiercely. She wiped away her tears fiercely, "I don't want to come to you!"

"You forgot your family feud, it's fine to be a running dog for the Murong family! Don't pull me!"

After she finished speaking, she regretted it, took a sneak look at the other party, wanted to admit her mistake but refused to admit defeat.

Pei Que's face turned pale, "I haven't forgotten."

"Things back then were not as simple as you think. I have investigated a lot these years, and there are many twists and turns in it, which cannot be explained clearly in one sentence."

Pei Que loosened his grip on her arm, with a sense of despair.

"Yan'er, don't you look down on brother?"

"Do you think that my brother is just trying to survive and is willing to be a dog under the control of others?"

"Or do you think that I should draw out my long sword and end my life when the old man's decree of copying the family and exterminating the clan came down?"

The woman called Pei Yan shook her head, tears streaming down her face, she whispered, "You are my brother..."

"How can I look down on you?"

"I just hate, I hate them so much..."

She looked directly into Pei Que's eyes, pursed her lips and shed tears, depressed and wronged, "Brother..."

The expression of the woman in front of her gradually coincided with that of when she was a child...

Before his eyes appeared in a trance the little girl who chased after his ass and called her brother when he was a child, the little girl who was hugged by her mother to wipe sweat, the little girl who hugged her father's leg and did not let go... .

With sore eyes, he untied the other party, and wiped away the tears from the other party's eyes with his fingertips, "Stop crying."

Hearing these words, Pei Yan couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and threw herself into his arms, "Brother..."

His injured right hand was hanging in the air, and the other good arm was curled up and landed on the opponent's back.

He heard his own voice hoarse, as if it had been polished, memories of these years flooded into his mind.

"When I knew I was going to..." He paused, "When I was going to enter the palace, I thought about dying."

"But you were taken out by the nursing home, I don't know if you can escape..."

"If I die, Yan'er will be the only one left in this world..."

"You have never been wronged since you were a child. If you grow up and are bullied, who will protect you? Who will vent your anger for you?"

"When I first entered the palace, I also thought many times about finding opportunities to kill that despicable old thing one by one"

"But there are too many people around him, and I can't get close to him at all. Besides, the eunuch who disciplines me in the palace treats me very strictly. He keeps digging through my things and forbids me to touch any sharp objects."

"After a long period of time, with open and secret investigations, plus the things quietly handed over by my father's old friends and students, I gradually realized that the case of the Pei family's extermination was not so simple."

"You can't avenge yourself by killing the old emperor!"

"So I held my temper, lowered my head, and climbed up bit by bit. Finally, I finally got a clue, but the old thing died."

Pei Que lowered his eyes, pressed his eyes full of coldness, "It's really not the time to die..."

Pei Yan wiped away tears, "Didn't you kill him?"

Pei Que shook his head, "No."

"At that time, he trusted me quite a bit, and I just took this opportunity to check the previous affairs. It was not a good thing for me that he died at that time."

Pei Yan came out of his arms, "You are not sad that the old emperor is dead, why did you block me when I wanted to kill the little emperor today?"

There was resentment in Pei Yan's eyes, "Could it be true what they said? Are you really trying to curry favor with him?"

"I didn't please him."

Pei Que looked at the other party, with a soft look on his cold face, "Your Majesty, he is mine, and no one can touch him."

"Even if it's you, that's the same."

"From now on, stay by my brother's side, learn how other little girls appreciate flowers, read books, and let go of these thoughts of revenge. I will take back the enmity of the Pei family!"

"As for Your Majesty, he is soft-tempered, well-behaved and sensible, but timid. Don't scare him with a sword in the future."

Pei Que's tone softened, "Yan'er, the destruction of the Pei family has nothing to do with him, so don't add hatred to him."

"When you meet him in the future, stop yelling and beating and kill him. Be more respectful in your tone and attitude."

Pei Yan stared at him blankly, "Brother? What are you talking about?"

She slammed Pei Que's hand off, "You're crazy!"

Pei Que snorted, his face paled instantly.

Pei Yan was a little flustered, her eyes moved down, and only then did she see that she hit the opponent's injured palm hard just now, that hand was trembling uncontrollably now, the gauze was soaked in blood, and it was dazzling red.

"Brother! Brother! Sorry!"

She was at a loss, "Brother! I didn't do it on purpose! Yan Er didn't do it on purpose!"

Pei Que frowned, holding back the pain, "It's okay."

"I'm sorry brother!"

Her tears flowed uncontrollably, "I'm sorry, brother, I'll listen to you! I'll listen to you!"

"Don't be angry with Yan'er, don't abandon me again!"

Pei Que patted the other party's shoulder, "Okay, you're staying in the palace for two days now, and when the limelight passes, I'll make arrangements for you before you go out."

"Tian Zhen!"

Tian Zhen at the door heard the sound and hurried in, followed by Chang An.

"Grandfather!"

Tian Zhen saw that he raised his hand, and the blood flowed down again, so he hurried over with small steps, "Master! But the wound burst open again!"

"I'm going to the Tai Hospital to call someone!"

"no need."

Pei Que stopped him, "It's okay, just deal with it briefly and then bandage it up."

If he was seen by that little thing when he went back, he would frown again and ask questions distressedly.

Tian Zhen brought the medicine box, and Chang An took it over with one hand, and bandaged it neatly.

"Take the lady down, change clothes and settle down."

"Yes"

Tian Zhen said hello to Pei Yan, "Miss, you can just call the servant Xiao Tianzi from now on, the servant was picked up by Lord Qiantose, if you have anything to ask."

"The slave will take the young lady to change clothes."

"There is Mr. Lao Tian." Pei Yan nodded towards him, and looked at Pei Que reluctantly, "Brother, don't go, Yan'er still has a lot to say to you..."

Pei Que smiled at her, "No hurry, brother is waiting for you to come back."

She nodded, a smile appeared between her brows, and two dimples appeared on her face.

Then he turned his head, followed by Tian Zhen and gradually disappeared at the gate of the hall.

"Grandpa, it looks real."

Chang An put away the medicine box, "According to the information we collected before, this girl matches everywhere."

"It's just that the nursing home back then caught the disease within three years after taking the young lady out, and passed away. Since then, the young lady's trace has been lost."

Pei Que gave a "hmm".

"Master, Miss's appearance is almost the same as the one painted on our portrait, and the eyebrows of your master are also very similar, it is almost carved out of the same mold!"

"It's the little light brown mole on the cheek, why is it gone?"

Pei Que smiled softly. Just now when he was hugging each other vainly, he checked on purpose. There is now a small pit where there was a mole, which is the same color as the skin, and with makeup on, the pit is Less obvious.

It should have been deliberately gouged out when I was a child in order to avoid being searched.

"There's a pit in there, do you see it?"

He raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.

"If it is exactly the same as the person in the painting, it should be even more suspicious!"
