I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 190 Someone from the Palace
In the imperial city, the solemn sound of bells echoed across the sky, and the palace maids and guards moved in an orderly manner outside the hall.

Inside the palace, Emperor Xuan was writing his red seal on a memorial, and the chief eunuch was summoning Marquis Anyuan to come for an audience.

Emperor Xuan held the red brush in his hand without saying a word. He waited until Marquis Anyuan entered the hall and performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows before he smiled.

"My dear, what are you doing?"

An Yuan Hou kowtowed and said, "I am guilty. I failed to discipline the students properly, which caused the fire in the inn and disturbed the pleasure of His Majesty and the officials. I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Emperor Xuan said with a smile, "My dear minister, why do you have to make it sound so serious? I have already heard the commander's report. Although the fire was raging, there were no casualties. But as for the inn, your mansion still needs to make some response."

An Yuanhou said: "I have already sent money over and will send craftsmen to help rebuild the inn. Before that, all the staff of the inn have been properly resettled."

Emperor Xuan smiled but said nothing and continued to review the memorials.

Marquis Anyuan just knelt with his head bowed, as if it was a very normal thing.

After a long while, Emperor Xuan seemed to remember something and said, "I have said that you are old and do not need to perform such a grand ceremony. Get up quickly."

Only then did Marquis Anyuan thank his master for his grace and was able to stand up.

After reading the memorial in his hand, Emperor Xuan didn't know what was bothering him, so he threw the memorial on the ground. The eunuch hurried to pick it up, but he didn't dare to hand it over again. He just served carefully by his side.

"Oh, right," Emperor Xuan rubbed his brows and suddenly asked, "I heard that the person who saved the injured in the inn was Pei Yuan?"

Marquis Anyuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was indeed my unruly grandson. He was willing to sacrifice his life for a woman. His impatience really chilled my heart."

Emperor Xuan closed his eyes and pressed his fingers twice on his throbbing temples.

"Pei Yuan," Emperor Xuan paused and continued, "Isn't he weak?"

How could one rescue a woman from a fire and bring her back to the mansion?
An Yuanhou had a complicated expression, "This boy must have regained his vitality. He has been in a coma since he returned. He has been in a daze for the past two days, as if he has run out of energy."

Emperor Xuan asked with concern: "How could this happen? Didn't you find the best doctor for him?"

Just as An Yuan Hou was about to reply, Emperor Xuan said, "In that case, I will appoint two imperial doctors to accompany you back to the palace to take a good look at Pei Yuan. After all, he was raised under my care, and he is Pei Su's only flesh and blood. It is not reasonable for me to sit idly by and do nothing."

Marquis Anyuan hesitated for a moment, but Emperor Xuan did not miss this brief look.

He said with great interest, "I heard that as soon as you returned home that night, you immediately sealed off the house and did not allow anyone to enter or leave? Could it be that there is some secret that cannot be seen by others?"

Marquis Anyuan quickly knelt down and kowtowed again.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty really is ..."

Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked down at Marquis Anyuan from above.

"My dear, nothing will happen to you, will you? Hiding it from me?"

Anyuan Hou's gray beard touched the ground, and he was extremely embarrassed.

“I dare not. To be honest, this matter was caused by jealousy among the women in the inner court. It also caused the emperor to personally grant his concubine, who was almost burned to death.

I am afraid that the concubine will be secretly harmed by someone who is blind, so I have fenced off the yard. I dare not be careless until the concubine is out of danger. Otherwise, I will die for it. "

Emperor Xuan looked at Marquis Anyuan coldly, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

The eunuch quickly brought two imperial doctors and an old maid, who knelt behind Marquis Anyuan.

Emperor Xuan then said, "These two imperial doctors have the ability to bring back the dead. Let them see if Pei Yuan can be saved.

As for this Xu Ma, she used to serve the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother praised her for her meticulousness and carefulness. I asked her to take care of Pei Yuan until he recovers. My dear, do you have any objections?"

An Yuanhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you."

In the Marquis's Mansion, Pei Yuan sat in front of the mirror while Xie Fei combed his hair.

A lot of his hair was burnt in the fire that day, and he hadn't taken care of it in the past two days, so the withered hair roots were still sticking out there, which was really an eyesore.

Xie Fei held him down, took a pair of scissors, and cut off this part of the hair.

Black hair fell to the ground one after another. Pei Yuan looked at the person in the mirror and said distressedly: "Are you venting your anger?"

If he cuts his hair a few more times, he will become a leper. Xie Fei wanted to settle the score, and asked unreasonably: "Where were you on the day the inn caught fire?"

If they had come earlier, the two might not have been injured so seriously.

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "It has been a long time since I last saw your Majesty's face. As a subject, I should go to the Hongyan Tower and pay my respects to you."

It's not that he didn't think about assassination, but the emperor was too afraid of death and his imperial guards were too numerous.

According to Xie Fei, even if he succeeded, there would be another game of Nine Clans Candy Crush waiting for him.

Thinking about the whole family, young and old, I felt regretful after some calculation.

When they returned to the inn, they found that there was a fire. At that time, there was no time to think more, so they grabbed Pei Hongluo's equipment and rushed in.

Fortunately, it's still in time.

Xie Fei still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it. They almost both died in there.

"Don't take the risk next time."

Pei Yuan just chuckled, then looked at Xie Fei's expression in the mirror and pondered: "You don't seem angry?"

He thought that after Xie Fei learned the truth, he would be so angry that he would jump up and beat him up, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so calm.

Xie Fei said: "What is there to be angry about? You have your concerns, I see them all. As for surprise, I actually guessed so, but I thought it was too outrageous and didn't dare to think about it in detail."

What's more, she also had a secret of time travel and rebirth that she had hidden from Pei Yuan, and she could never reveal it in this lifetime, so it was even.

Xie Fei cut off the burnt hair and thinned the remaining hair. Then he tied his hair into a neat bun and put on a jade hair crown.

The person in the mirror was truly handsome and elegant. Xie Feiduo took a closer look and felt a strange feeling in his chest.

It’s really strange. I didn’t feel this much excitement when I saw the fake Pei Yuan before.

She chose not to think too much about it. Just then Fuyu came in, so she ordered, "Go find me a brick."

Fu Yu tilted his head and asked, "Board? Brick?"

Xie Fei gestured, "It's the kind of square, neat bricks, not too big, but something I can lift."

Fu Yu didn't understand what was going on, he just thought the girl had some brain problems after being injured, so he tried his best to satisfy her.

Only Pei Yuan understood what Xie Fei was going to do. He leaned lazily against the dressing table, propped up his head with one hand, looked at Xie Fei, and asked, "Do you want my help?"

Xie Fei raised his bloodless lips and said, "Afterwards, just help me suppress it."

But soon, a soldier hurried to the door and knelt down, whispering: "Sir, someone has come from the palace."

Pei Yuan tilted his head slightly, "Who?"

"Two imperial doctors and one Nanny Xu."

Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly said to Xie Fei: "This Xu Ma was once the Queen Mother's person. She is the most majestic and calm. Even the current Queen was taught and admonished by her before she ascended the throne."

Xie Fei understood and nodded, "I'll be careful."

The three men soon arrived outside the courtyard, and Xie Fei went out to greet them.

She still had gauze wrapped around her head, and she walked with a limp, like a frail willow in the wind, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

There were more than three people standing outside the gate. In addition to the two imperial doctors, there were more beautiful palace maids brought out from the palace by Nanny Xu to "serve" Pei Yuan.

When Xie Fei saw the people, he bowed and said, "Where are you from and what's your business?"

Aunt Xu had a round and plump face, big eyes and a big nose, and was always smiling. She looked very kind and gentle, not the "majestic" that Pei Yuan described.

Her dress was simple and elegant, but if you looked closely you could see the dark patterns on her clothes. The patterns and workmanship were worthy of someone from the palace.
