Several days passed, and Pei Annan never looked at Xie Chenghe again. After all, no one dared to treat the people His Majesty wanted to protect harshly.

Friendly reminder from the system: "The host needs to be in contact with the modified object in order to better reduce the blackening value of the modified object."

Pei Anan didn't even raise his head. He reviewed the memorial with a red pen quickly and sharply. The words under his pen were like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath. A single stroke could kill someone.

"I am the king of a country, not his maid."

After saying this, he said to Mr. Su outside, "Call Ding Yueluo."

The system performed its duties diligently: "Xie Chenghe's current blackening value is as high as 89, and a rebellion plot may still occur. Please cherish your life and complete the task as soon as possible."

Pei Anan was annoyed by being told that, he frowned and dropped his pen: "89? I spared his life and asked someone to pick up his bones, but he still hates me so much? Why on earth should I keep him with such an ungrateful thing?

A life?!"

The system choked, and for a moment it didn't know whether to remind Pei Anan that she was the one who took the life and broke the bones.

It was at this moment that Ding Yueluo arrived. Before she could speak, Pei Anan impatiently exempted her from the courtesy and said directly: "How are the preparations going?"

Ding Yueluo had a slight smile on her face. She was obviously a young girl under twenty, but she had her head tied up and she was dressed from top to bottom to show her wealth and nobility, but she lacked a bit of girlish playfulness.

Since the founding of the country, she should be the first and only one to be able to sit on the throne of the palace at the age of nineteen. Therefore, she has been criticized, and she can only look old-fashioned in her clothes to avoid being eye-catching.

But even so, that beautiful face and flexible figure have also been praised highly as "the water is like a willow in the spring moon"

of.

"My lord, always be prepared."

Only then did Pei Annan smile with satisfaction, he was indeed the one she had chosen.

What about men, what about women? If she, a woman, can sit on the throne and control the government, she can let Ding Yueluo, a woman, become an official in the previous court.

She has too many policies to implement. Ding Yueluo's entry into the previous dynasty is just the beginning. It is a stone thrown against the seemingly calm lake, and then there will be turbulent waves.

Pei Annan stood up, took a jade pendant from the secret compartment and threw it to Ding Yueluo, and asked casually: "Xie Chenghe, what do you think?"

His Majesty's sudden change of attitude towards Xie Chenghe is no secret. As the minister, Ding Yueluo naturally knows it, but she doesn't know what Pei Annan means by asking such a question at this time, so she said without leaking: "Master Xie is naturally a rare genius in the world, otherwise the late emperor would also

He would not attach such importance to him and let him become a national teacher at a young age.

But he is too pedantic and old-fashioned, and if he cannot be used by His Majesty, he will be useless."

Pei Annan actually smiled and glanced at her half-jokingly: "You are quite loyal."

"nature."

Ding Yueluo smiled and said, "Your Majesty gave me this life, and I will naturally be loyal to Your Majesty."

Pei Annan waved his hand: "Flattery.

Get lost!"

"Wei Chen resigns."

After chatting and joking with Ding Yueluo, Pei Anan felt much better, and then she relaxed her back and walked out of the hall: "Let's go, let's take a look at this rare genius in the world!"

The system was speechless and choked. How could Pei Annan mean to lower the blackening value? This was obviously because he wanted to amuse Menzi with him after work! Knowing that His Majesty was coming, everyone in the Xuanyi Palace was so busy that they were dizzy. Xie Chenghe looked at it coldly.

I couldn't stop laughing in my heart.

It really looks like the emperor favors his concubines! That woman really goes to great lengths to humiliate people.

When Pei Annan arrived, the table was already filled with dishes and two glasses of wine were filled.

Xie Chenghe was lifted up from the bed by two eunuchs and sat on a chair. His expression was as cold as a person in a painting. He was skinned alive and placed in front of this delicious food. He was out of place.

Eunuch Su was secretly anxious and coughed as a reminder: "Thank you, Sir, Your Majesty is here!"

"The sinner can no longer afford to be called an adult."

Xie Chenghe pretended not to understand, sitting up straight and unwilling to even look at Pei Annan.

Pei Annan hated his pretending to be aloof.

She firmly believes that everyone has a price to pay for bending over, some are money, some are power, and some are life.

But Xie Chenghe looked like he wasn't eating anything, so it wasn't disgusting.

But I just couldn't find a price that suited him.

Thinking of the rebellion three years later, Pei Annan couldn't help but sneer.

If the throne is vacant, can Xie Chenghe remain aloof? Seeing that Pei Annan was about to get angry, the system quickly reminded: "Host, seven months."

Pei Annan closed her eyes hard.

Seven months, the system promised that as long as Xie Chenghe's blackening value is eliminated within seven months, there will no longer be any plot to control her in this world.

At that time, she will be the real protagonist and dominate her own life.

She comforted herself that as long as she endured these seven months and regained control, she would smash Xie Chenghe's high head with her own hands! "Step back."

Pei Annan calmed down his anger and waved his hand to retreat.

Xie Chenghe was slightly surprised. In the past, when he spoke like this, Pei Anan would get angry, punish him, or humiliate him. How could he be so bearable today? But he saw Pei Annan sitting down, raising his glass, and slightly agreeing with Xie Chenghe.

Drink it all.

Her expression changed very quickly, and the majesty that had been exuding around her immediately dissipated, and her raised eyes became less sharp and more gentle.

"I know Master Xie hates me."

She spoke with a calm and sincere voice, "It was all my fault in the past, and I came here specifically to apologize to Mr. Xie today."

Xie Chenghe didn't know what Pei Annan was up to, so he said solemnly: "I don't dare to take it seriously."

Pei Anan was no longer angry, but instead raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

She already had a bright face, which was usually gloomy and full of anger, making people afraid to look directly at it. But now when she smiled, she was so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate.

She stared at Xie Chenghe's profile, and even though she had been tortured in every way, she could not wipe away the bright moonlight breeze on his face. She said strangely that someone in the capital praised him: "Xie Lang in the capital is extremely talented, looks like Pan An, and is solemn."

The wind blows under the wind, high and gentle.

In a trance, she seemed to be back before she ascended the throne. She was sitting in the East Palace, staring at half of Xie Chenghe's face like this, watching him teach the prince.

Six years ago, Xie Chenghe suddenly asked the late emperor for permission to let Pei Annan be the prince's companion.

The late emperor's trust and love for Xie Chenghe made him agree without much thought.

If a disciple from an aristocratic family enters the palace to serve as the prince's companion, it will be an honor for the ancestors, and it will also be a stepping stone to enter the court and become an official in the future.

If a relative of the emperor enters the palace to accompany the prince, it is a connection between blood lines and a means to contain the side clans.

But for a biological royal sister, a princess of the current dynasty, to be the prince's companion, it would be humiliating, and it would be putting the word "unpopular" on the bright side.

No matter how glamorous the prince's companion is, he is still a slave. From master to slave, Pei Anan has no idea how she offended this imperial master and made her suffer humiliation.

It’s just that Xie Chenghe didn’t know that she, Pei Annan, was naturally smart. She could understand the lessons that the prince couldn’t understand, and she did all the writing for the prince in secret.

Since the prince is not as good as her, why can't she take his place? Pei Annan's undisguised gaze made Xie Chenghe shiver down his spine and he couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Pei Annan retracted her thoughts, smiled and poured herself another cup, and clinked it with Xie Chenghe's cup: "Although I have only been the prince's companion for six years, I have also received your education, and calling you "teacher" is also a good idea.

It’s not an exaggeration.”

"Your Excellency looks down on me, and I know it in my heart. If I am not afraid that a genius like Mr. Xie will become my enemy, why should I risk the ridicule of the world and humiliate you in every possible way?"

"It's just that now, I want to understand.

Master Xie is different from others. You have family and country at heart and have great righteousness in your heart. You cannot be humiliated by a few slaps or a few words of ridicule."

"I was wrong before. I always thought that you were just like those old men. You just looked down on me and a female proletarian became emperor, and you were just afraid that I would ruin their bright future."

"Now I understand that you are different. What you worry about is the world and the people."

"In this case, I should naturally apologize to you.

The world cannot live without people like you, and the people cannot live without officials like you.

I cannot live without a good teacher and a loyal minister like you."

After saying that, she held the wine cup in both hands, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, full of sincerity.

Xie Chenghe looked at Pei Annan unconsciously.

The wine slipped from the corner of her lips, flowed down her neck and into her collar, but she was completely unaware that her eyes, usually full of murderous intent, were now as clear as a child's.

Xie Chenghe forcibly turned his gaze back and pinched his thigh hard with the hand on his knee, alerting himself with the pain.

This woman is not a human being, she is a poisonous snake, a poisonous scorpion.

I can't believe or listen to a word she says.

She was so good at acting, and her methods were more sophisticated than those of the concubines competing for favor in the harem, but no one could suspect her. Whenever she was questioned, she would deceive everyone with such a pair of innocent eyes.

If he hadn't seen her get away with murder from the beginning, he might have been deceived by her appearance! For six years, every time she showed such an expression, nothing good happened! It's just that Xie Chenghe didn't understand why she was doing this to him.

Acting in front of him, she is already the emperor, she can kill him for peace of mind.

Pei Annan pursed his lips. Xie Chenghe was never one to hide his emotions. His suspicion and distrust almost spilled out of his eyes. Even his back straightened involuntarily, full of wariness.

Her eyes moved slightly, she grabbed Xie Chenghe's hand, held it with both hands, placed it on her heart, raised her head slightly, looked up at him, and said word by word, as if she were swearing: "Master Xie doesn't believe me, I understand.
