Pei Mansion.
In the courtyard.
After the man in the alley brought Zi Yi over, he turned around and left without saying a word.
"that."
Just as Zi Yi was looking at the courtyard in front of him.
I felt a little nervous and wanted to call out to that person.
"Girl in purple."
A deep voice sounded from inside the room: "Please come in and have a chat."
Zi Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
He frowned and looked towards the main hall not far away.
The hall was brightly lit with candles.
A middle-aged man was sitting in the hall, but his face could not be seen clearly.
But Zi Yi could feel it.
A sense of oppression came from the people in the hall.
"Celestial Realm?"
Zi Yi noticed this.
I felt my throat was a little dry and I swallowed involuntarily.
She clenched her hands and her pretty face turned pale.
She didn't know why she had been so unlucky in the past few days.
First, he was tricked by King Zhenbei in the northern border and forced to take the Nine-Aperture Soul-Severing Pill.
I finally returned to the court.
I met that crazy woman Zhao Qiuyu again and almost got cut into pieces.
Someone must have rescued him.
It seems like he has just escaped from the wolf's den and fallen into the tiger's den.
The person who saved me before.
He is a person in the celestial realm, and the person in the hall now is also in the celestial realm.
When did the Tianxiang Realm become a common vegetable?
They popped up one after another.
"Damn it."
While people in the hall were waiting.
Zi Yi gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
Did not choose to escape.
Instead, his eyes sank and he walked into the hall hesitantly.
She didn't think that she, who had just entered the realm of Zhixuan, could escape from under the noses of two celestial realm masters.
"It's you?"
Once you enter the main hall and see who is inside.
The purple-clad woman's red lips were slightly parted.
He exclaimed, "Pei Kan, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple?"
"Why is Miss Ziyi so surprised?" Seeing her surprised expression, Pei Kan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't Empress Dowager Xiao tell you my identity?"
"Empress Dowager Xiao?"
Zi Yi was a little surprised when he heard that.
She shook her head blankly: "The Queen Mother did not tell Zi Yi about Master Pei."
talking.
Zi Yi's heart immediately settled down.
Although she didn't know what the relationship between Pei Kan and Empress Dowager Xiao was.
But I think they should be one of us, right?
Otherwise, why would he know that he was Empress Dowager Xiao's man.
"Is that so?"
Pei Kan saw the purple-clothed man and didn't know what was going on.
It wasn't surprising, after all, he had revealed his identity to Empress Dowager Xiao.
It happened to be the time when Zi Yi left Chang'an.
It seems that Empress Dowager Xiao did not mention it to her after she came back.
"today."
Zi Yi, who already regarded Pei Kan as one of his own, smiled and bowed to Pei Kan to thank him, "Thank you, Master Pei."
After saying that, Zi Yi suddenly felt.
It seems that my luck is pretty good tonight.
Unexpectedly, he came to the south of the city by accident while being chased by Zhao Qiuyu.
It also appeared in a small alley outside Pei Mansion.
"We are all family, so there is no need to be polite, Miss Zi Yi." In response to Miss Zi Yi's thanks, Pei Kan smiled and waved his hand.
Then he asked, "I just don't know why the people from the Qingyuan Sword Sect would chase after the purple-clothed girl?"
Speaking of this.
Zi Yi felt a little unlucky.
He then told Pei Kan what had happened before.
"I see."
After hearing the cause and effect.
Pei Kan nodded in understanding. He knew that Zhao Qiuyu was monitoring Empress Dowager Xiao.
"Ugh"
Thinking in Pei Kan.
When the Empress knew Zi Yi's identity, would it affect her next plan? Zi Yi in the hall also sighed with a worried look on his face.
Pei Kan heard the sound and looked over, asking in confusion, "Why is Miss Purple sighing?"
Zi Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Master Pei must also know about the relationship between Qingyuan Sword Sect and the Empress. Today, Zi Yi's identity was discovered by that crazy woman Zhao Qiuyu. The Empress must know about it now. Even Master Pei may have been exposed. It's all because of Zi Yi's carelessness."
"I'm sorry." Zi Yi said, and then he bowed to Pei Kan and said seriously: "If the Queen Mother blames you, Sir Pei, rest assured that Zi Yi will take all the responsibility."
She was not afraid of being punished by Empress Dowager Xiao.
After all, behind her is the Poison King Valley, and her master is the master of the Poison King Valley.
Empress Dowager Xiao would at least give Poison King Valley some face.
But I don’t know if it will implicate Lord Pei.
After all, even Pei Kan himself is not clear about his identity, so the Queen Mother must have a big plan.
But now it’s because I’ve been exposed.
"Don't worry, Miss Purple."
Pei Kan shook his head and said, "This matter is not your fault, young lady. I don't think Queen Mother Xiao will blame you either."
This is true.
After all, Zhao Qiuyu had been monitoring Empress Dowager Xiao for many days.
But Ziyi didn't receive the message, so it was normal for him to be discovered when he was not prepared.
Just don’t know.
Did Empress Dowager Xiao let it slip, or did she do it on purpose?
I'm afraid the probability of it being intentional is higher.

Simultaneously.
In the palace, Fengluan Palace.
Behind the screen.
Empress Dowager Xiao said slowly: "How?"
In front of the hall, a man in black robe was kneeling on the ground.
He said in a hoarse voice: "As the Queen Mother expected, Zi Yi was rescued by someone from the Pei Mansion."
"Ah"
Empress Dowager Xiao sneered when she heard this.
In that pair of charming eyes.
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan, do you really think I can't see through this little trick?"
She never.
No one will underestimate Jiang Xuan.
The moment she sent Zi Yi to the north, she gave up on Zi Yi.
Regardless of whether Jiang Xuan controls Zi Yi.
For her.
Giving up the Poison King Valley in exchange for Jiang Xuan's attitude is not a loss.
Although the ending was not good.
But at least, she saw Jiang Xuan's choice.
"Queen Mother."
The black-robed man in front of the hall asked, "What should we do with Zi Yi? Should we kill him?"
"kill?"
Empress Dowager Xiao heard this.
He shook his head slowly and said, "This girl cannot be killed. If she dies, the Poison King Valley will go crazy."
The Poison King Valley was in the Dawu Dynasty.
Although it is not the top one.
But his use of poison is so superb that it is hard to guard against.
then.
The Poison King Valley during its heyday.
He even poisoned and killed a peak celestial being.
Although the price was not small, this incident even caused the Poison King Valley to gradually decline.
But since then, there has been no one left in the world.
Dare to ignore the Poison King Valley.
She didn't want to have to be on guard against the revenge of the Poison Valley in the future, especially that old poisoner, who was not as simple as he seemed.
If only it were simple.
He should have died long ago after the failed assassination attempt on Jiang Xuan.
"Then how should Zi Yi be arranged?"
"Just keep it as usual. Except for some secrets, she can know everything."

Pei Mansion, main hall.
After chatting for a quarter of an hour.
Ziyi slowly stood up and bowed, saying, "Master Pei, I will come back to thank you for saving my life today. The situation is urgent, so I have to go to the palace to report this to the Queen Mother. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."
"No problem."
Pei Kan shook his head and said, "Miss Zi Yi, please go now."
"Thank you." When Zi Yi thanked him again and was about to leave.
Pei Kan seemed to be smiling.
He looked at Zi Yi and said, "Oh, Miss Zi Yi, don't forget to come to my house to get the antidote in two days."
"Antidote?"
Zi Yi, who was about to leave, froze when he heard this.
He looked at Pei Kan with disbelief, and suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
