The footsteps at the door were getting closer and closer. All the nearby guards gathered outside the bedroom, and the bright torches illuminated the dilapidated courtyard.
Qi Changyi was suddenly picked up by someone and sat directly on the table.
The door to the bedroom had been pushed open, and the leader of the guards walked in holding a torch.
Pei Zheng slowly let go of the softness in his arms, and touched his bright red lips with his fingers, "Be good and don't make any sound."
The person sitting at the desk had a dazed look on her face and misty eyes. Her gold-thread collar was slightly tilted, revealing a fair and delicate collarbone, which was extremely charming and seductive in the dark night.
Pei Zheng pulled down the curtain hanging next to him and covered Qi Changyi's head, wrapping him tightly without leaving any gaps.
The leading guard saw a vague figure standing in front of him and couldn't help but shout, "Who is this? How dare you trespass into the forbidden palace! Come, arrest him!"
The guards behind stepped forward and were about to take action, but when they saw the person's face clearly in the firelight, they were so scared that they stood there in a daze.
The guards saluted tremblingly one after another.
"Master Pei."
Pei Zheng responded indifferently.
The chief of the guards raised his eyes to look at the extremely powerful Prime Minister Pei in the court, who was now scanning the people present with an unhappy expression and cold eyes.
He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat under such imposing majesty. On the table next to him, there seemed to be a human figure wrapped in a curtain.
Who is that person
Did they disturb Lord Pei’s good deeds
But this is the royal forbidden palace, and no one is allowed to enter without the emperor's order, not even the prime minister.
The head of the guards bravely asked, "Master Pei is not at the banquet, why did you come to this deserted place?"
Pei Zheng raised his eyelids and said, "Do I need to inform you, a guard, where I am going and what I am doing?"
The head of the guards lowered his head quickly, "That's not what I meant, but without the emperor's order, I'm afraid..."
Pei Zheng didn't want to say anything more and directly showed the token on his waist. The exquisite pass token made of white jade was bestowed by the emperor and allowed him to enter and exit anywhere without restriction.
This was the emperor's reward to Prime Minister Pei for his outstanding contributions in assisting the government, and everyone in the palace knew about it.
When all the guards saw the imperial token, they immediately knelt on the ground. Seeing the token meant seeing the emperor's face. No one dared to speak for a moment.
Pei Zheng looked at the guards kneeling on the ground, and the cold voice finally sounded again.
"Okay, let's all go down."
The guards bowed their heads, stood up, and filed out.
When the leader walked to the door, he looked in the direction of the curtain. Although it was very dark around him, he seemed to see the corner of a piece of clothing revealed in the moonlight, and the edge of the clothing was outlined with gold patterns.
This is a material that only the royal family can wear, so who is the person under the curtain
Pei Zheng raised his eyes, turned sideways to block the table without leaving any trace, and said to the door, "Tell someone to prepare a sedan chair. I want to go to the banquet."
The leader of the guards agreed and turned to go out.
The bedroom suddenly returned to darkness and silence.
The person behind the curtain remained obedient and motionless, not even daring to breathe.
Pei Zheng curled the corners of his lips, slowly and unhurriedly unveiled the curtains one by one.
As soon as Qi Changyi's little face, which was a little flushed from being covered, was revealed, he opened his mouth and breathed deeply, as if he had been holding his breath for too long, and it took him a long time to calm down.
Pei Zheng reached out to straighten his messy collar, and when his hand touched the soft and smooth touch underneath, he couldn't help but probe deeper.
Qi Changyi shuddered when he was touched by the cold hand and shrank back unconsciously.
Pei Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold. He gently pinched the slender neck with his bony fingers and whispered in the girl's ear.
"You dare to hide from me?"
