But very soon, the old stubborn people outside are probably going to come looking for him.
"By the way, has sister gone to see Concubine Pei?" Wei Qinglin turned around and asked Wen Qingzhu, her tone still a little uneasy.
Wen Qingzhu looked at her with a smile: "What? Are you still afraid of her?"
Wei Qinglin did not admit it directly: "It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just worried that I can't deal with her. She has been very quiet since the death of the late emperor. I don't think she will be so quiet."
Wen Qingzhu shook her head and said nothing. She looked in the direction of Pei Dongli's residence.
I wondered in my heart, did Pei Dongli lure her there on purpose
If she had done it just now, although she wouldn't have killed him with one blow, she would have been seriously injured.
"Linlin." Wen Qingzhu turned his head, looked at her seriously and said, "The best way to eliminate fear is to be prepared to face it completely."
"Sister, are you going to take me to see Concubine Pei now?" Wei Qinglin was not as scared as before, but her eyes were still a little unconfident.
Wen Qingzhu stood up: "Let's go."
In the main hall of the side hall, Wen Qingzhu and Wei Qinglin were sitting on the main seats, and below them stood Pei Dongli in plain clothes.
"Why doesn't the concubine say anything?" Wen Qingzhu waited for a while, and when he saw that Pei Dongli didn't speak, he took the initiative to speak.
Pei Dongli lowered his head, clutching the edge of his sleeve tightly, thinking quickly in his mind: What on earth is Wen Qingzhu here for
Raise troops to investigate
She did want to meet Lian Xin through Fu Jue before, but she just wanted to test Fu Jue's depth.
Wen Qingzhu shouldn't come to her because of this, right
Thinking like this, Pei Dongli replied respectfully: "I know my sins, so I don't dare to say anything."
"Oh? What kind of sin? Lift your head and look at me!" Wen Qingzhu ordered her with a cold tone.
Pei Dongli had no choice but to raise his head and meet her gaze.
Immediately, he became extremely wary. Wen Qingzhu was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. Why didn't his brother reply to the message
My heart was filled with emotions, but finally calmed down.
Pei Dongli replied: "My concubine should not indulge Lian Xin. I should not bring Prime Minister Pei into the palace even though I know that Lian Xin is guilty and still miss her past friendship. I know that I should not bring Prime Minister Pei into the palace." .”
Wen Qingzhu squinted his eyes and heard Pei Dongli calling Pei Yu prime minister. Was this a clear line
After pausing for a moment, she glanced at the tea in her hand: "Concubine Pei is a member of the Pei family. Naturally, the Pei family handles matters. But now that you are a concubine, the prince will soon ascend the throne and will be named a concubine soon. You still think about the Pei family. , don’t you take the prince seriously?”
"I know my crime!" Pei Dongli was about to kneel down, and Xi'er immediately went over to stop her.
She raised her head and met Wen Qingzhu's eyes that could see through her thoughts: "Concubine Pei, do you really think I will fall for this?"
Pei Dongli was shocked and pursed his lips in silence.
Wen Qingzhu added: "I'm not afraid to say it. If the regent had not returned to Beijing, even Pei Yu would be kneeling in front of me. How long do you think it will take for me to deal with you with my means?"
Before he finished speaking, Pei Dongli's expression changed suddenly and he tugged on his hand, but he couldn't pull it away.
She finally showed her fear: "Princess! I know that the prince obeys your words, but this world belongs to the Jiang family! Aren't you afraid of being poked in the back by the people of the world!"
"Do you think I'm afraid?" The smile on Wen Qingzhu's lips deepened.
Pei Dongli no longer dared to test and showed weakness: "Princess, please, for the sake of my brother, let me go this time. If you let me out of the palace, I will never come back again!"
"Then Fu Jue almost lost his life and how to settle the score for assassinating Miss Wei repeatedly?" Wen Qingzhu saw through it at a glance, Pei Dongli was just acting.
It's so awesome that he can even make full use of his own fears.
Pei Dongli thought Wen Qingzhu was relieved and pretended to be more weak: "Princess! I was forced. If I didn't do something, Pei Yu would not let me go. I did it all for him to see, and Fu Jue, and Miss Wei, aren’t you okay?”
"Okay then, how about I send someone to look at Pei Yi's arms and spare him his life to atone for his crime?" Wen Qingzhu's eyes darkened.
Pei Dongli was startled, his eyelids twitched fiercely, and he opened his mouth, feeling extremely frightened.
Could it be that her heart was blocked by Wen Qingzhu
Then Wen Qingzhu's eyebrows became more and more pitiful: "You guessed it right. From the moment you brought Pei Yu into the palace, you didn't have any secrets. When you sent Pei Yu a letter, are you still wondering why he wouldn't believe it?"
At this moment, the blood on Pei Dongli's face faded, and a desperate smile appeared on his face: "It turns out that my brother won't believe it because he knows that you have intercepted the letter I wrote."
"This is not the main reason. The main reason is that he cannot protect himself now." Wen Qingzhu was not afraid to speak out.
Upon hearing this, Pei Dongli's eyes froze for an instant and his tone calmed down: "What did you do to your brother?"
Seeing her sudden change, especially the fear in her eyes completely disappeared.
Wen Qingzhu was very surprised: "Are you worried about Pei Yi?"
Pei Dongli didn't speak, but her eyes already answered Wen Qingzhu.
From her expression, Wen Qingzhu noticed something unusual: "Do you... like Pei Yi?"
As soon as these words came out, Pei Dongli's pupils shrank violently, but she soon regained her composure: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't."
"It seems so." Wen Qingzhu looked at Pei Dongli and recalled what happened before.
Pei Yi entrusted Pei Dongli to her, which shows that Pei Dongli has the highest status among all the Pei family members.
At least he was worried about Pei Dongli's safety.
However, people like Pei Yi are very cold and can't see through his purpose, and he has never been sincere to anyone.
Including Pei Dongli in front of her, even if he was helping her, he would not forget to use her.
"Actually, Pei Yi is good enough to you." Wen Qingzhu suddenly said this sentence without knowing why.
Pei Dongli laughed: "Good enough?"
Her expression was covered with a layer of frost: "My brother really cared about me the most before, but since Xue Miaomiao appeared, I am no longer my first priority!"
"What did you do to Miaomiao?" Wen Qingzhu immediately noticed something was wrong.
Pei Dongli raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Didn't she tell you?"
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's eyes waiting for her words, Pei Dongli felt extremely happy: "As expected! Xue Miaomiao and her grandfather really keep their word! I begged them once, but they really didn't tell you."
"What on earth did you do?!" Wen Qingzhu didn't think so before.
But when it comes to Miaomiao and grandpa, she won't just let you go.
Pei Dongli looked at her with a smile: "I won't tell you, but you can definitely guess that I am responsible for Xue Guang and Xue Miaomiao's sudden departure from the capital."
Wen Qingzhu carefully recalled that day, when Xue Guang suddenly left without saying goodbye, saying that he was going to see Pei Dongli for medical treatment, but Xue Guang insisted on leaving, saying that the capital was not suitable for Xue Miaomiao.
"If you tell me, I will tell you Pei Yi's current situation." Wen Qingzhu was very tempted to take action directly, but she had to hold back.
With a thought in his mind, Pei Dongli made an aggressive offer: "Not only can I tell you the whole story, but I can also tell you what Miao Miao has hidden from you, but you must bring your brother back to the capital."
Wen Qingzhu sneered and looked at her up and down: "Do you think you still have a chance to raise conditions?"
"Of course, I put the poison in Xue Miaomiao's body. Medicine God Valley is indeed powerful, but it is not easy to easily remove the poison."
Pei Dongli slowly revealed the news, becoming more and more relieved.
Wen Qingzhu took a step forward: "Did you poison Miaomiao?!"
"To be precise, it's not poisonous. It just prevents her from having physical contact with men." Pei Dongli's eyes showed a bit of madness.
When Wen Qingzhu heard this, he clenched his fists: "Do you know, I can kill you at any time!"
"Of course I know." Pei Dongli didn't care much about his own life and death, and his tone was a little regretful, "I thought you or his prince would deal with me if I attacked Fu Jue and Wei Qinglin, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of Pei Yu. You don’t dare to touch me because of your power. If you die, my brother will never forget me and always remember that he owes me. Being disabled will give you a chance to get close to your brother. It’s a pity..."
She looked at Wen Qingzhu, then at Wei Qinglin, shaking her head and sighing.
Wen Qingzhuwang finally saw that behind Pei Dongli's obedient mask, he was not only ruthless, but also had morbid and deformed obsessions!
"It seems that it's useless to attack you, so I'll attack Pei Yi." Wen Qingzhu took advantage of her emotional expansion and carefully tested her step by step.
Pei Dongli smiled more and more sickly: "Do you know what the situation is in the capital now? If you allocate your energy to deal with your brother, maybe our prince will be taken advantage of. I know that the prince likes-"
"Shut up!" Wen Qingzhu's expression changed.
Pei Dongli laughed loudly and turned to leave, but was caught by Xi'er.
She looked back at Wen Qingzhu: "Do you really want me to stay here and reveal the secrets you have painstakingly hidden?"
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu ordered: "Let her go."
Only then did Xi'er let go, and Pei Dongli turned around and left, his face extremely gloomy.
This time she showed all her trump cards. If Wen Qingzhu was not moved, someone else would be.
She, Pei Dongli, was brought out by her brother, so how could she place her hopes on one person
The south gate of the capital at this time.
Fan Yu was riding his horse and looked to the northwest in a daze.
Is it really because Miaomiao was poisoned that she left in such a hurry
"Sir! There is a messenger coming from Dingyuan!"
Fan Yu immediately came back to his senses and looked from a distance. The messenger on horseback raised the flag in his hand from a distance.
He immediately ordered: "Open the city gate immediately! Let people in!"
Seeing that the messenger was about to arrive at the city gate, an arrow suddenly shot out from the east.
Hitting the messenger's neck, he immediately fell on the horse's back.
Fan Yu immediately rode out, but as soon as he left the city gate, he was greeted by a shower of arrows.
"Protect your lord!"
The officers and soldiers at the city gate immediately went out with shields to protect Fan Yu as he went to meet the messenger.
But not long after they left, someone suddenly shouted at the city gate: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming! An assassin has broken into the city!"
Fan Yu immediately turned around, and there was chaos at the city gate.
Two-quarters of an hour later, Fan Yu rushed to the palace with the messenger's body to plead guilty.
Wen Qingzhu, who was in the East Palace, received the news and immediately rushed to the Xuanzheng Hall with his people.
When they arrived at the door, they heard Pei Yu angrily scolding Fan Yu: "How did you guard the city gate? And where is Chi Yu? Didn't he lead people to station outside the city?! Are you all trash! You let assassins enter the city? !”
Wen Qingzhu stepped in, and Jiang Yuanhan immediately raised his eyes and looked over.
Following his line of sight, several ministers who had hurriedly arrived turned back together. Their expressions were different and their eyes were quite subtle.
Before Wen Qingzhu came over, Pei Yu had already turned around, stared at her and asked unkindly: "Why did the princess come to the Xuanzheng Hall? This is a place to discuss important affairs of the government, not a place where the princess should come."
A smile appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face: "I heard that Dingyuan sent a secret message, and the prince is also there. As the wife of the regent, isn't it normal for her to be worried about her husband?"
"Sister! You came just in time. No one in the Hanlin Academy has been able to decipher the secret message sent by the messenger. Why don't you come and take a look at it?"
As Jiang Yuanhan spoke, he waved his hand, asking Xiao Fangzi to deliver the letter quickly.
