Arriving at the calyx building, the most remote part of the palace, Wen Qingzhu met Pei Dongli.
She said hello with a friendly smile on her face: "Princess, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "You don't plan to do anything to Xi'er?"
"Of course, Xi'er is the princess's confidant. If I make a move, I'm afraid I won't live to see my brother." Pei Dongli looked calm.
Then he turned sideways and invited her to sit down: "You're already here, why don't you sit down and have a talk, Princess?"
Wen Qingzhu walked over and sat down. Pei Dongli also sat down and offered her tea.
"I came to see the princess for one purpose. I want to confirm whether Pei Zhixuan left the capital and went to the northwest?"
Putting down the teapot, Pei Dongli pushed the teacup over.
Wen Qingzhu twitched the corners of his lips: "Whether you are going or not, what does it have to do with you?"
Pei Dongli suppressed the anger in his heart. Now she was asking for help from Wen Qingzhu, and the smile on her face became more and more full: "Of course it does matter. Although my brother is not afraid of Pei Zhixuan, her past will still affect him after all. It’s no big deal that my brother can save the regent.”
"Haha." Wen Qingzhu couldn't help laughing and looked at Pei Dongli mockingly, "In this world, apart from your brother, there are people like Lu Ce. Who is Pei Yi?"
These words directly made Pei Dongli change his expression, and the hands under his sleeves pinched his palms tightly.
Wen Qingzhu had no patience and said directly: "I don't ask for anything else. As long as you tell me where the corpse-eating bugs in Lian Xin's body came from, how about I help you recall Pei Zhixuan?"
Pei Dongli narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "I know that the little emperor listens to you, but Pei Zhixuan is Pei Yu's heart treasure. Even the emperor's order may not have much effect, right?"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu smiled again, with a condescending air in his eyes: "It turns out that Pei Bin still doesn't know many things. It seems that the people here are not that easy to use."
"What's the matter?" Pei Dongli was able to do this because she tried her best.
Suddenly she remembered that bitch, and before she died, she confidently made a request: If Empress Pei Bin is not willing to introduce my father, then I have no choice but to tell you what happened outside the palace.
Pei Dongli didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that Wen Qingzhu had arrived so quickly and there was no response from Pei Yu, it was already telling.
Seeing the change in her expression, Wen Qingzhu understood more and more that Pei Dongli was at the end of his rope in trying to lure her over.
No more, she couldn't do it anymore.
Wen Qingzhu reached out to pick up the cup and shook it gently. The tea was slightly hazy.
But this seems to be the best tea that Pei Dongli can produce.
It looks like she's having a hard time here.
Wen Qingzhu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Pei Yu was locked up at home for a month. Don't you know?"
These words made Pei Dongli take a deep breath of cold air.
If she had known, she would not have lured Wen Qingzhu over.
Because without Pei Yu's cooperation, she still couldn't get out of trouble!
Instead—
"Pei Bin doesn't tell me, I will find out sooner or later, but you will never have a chance to speak again." Wen Qingzhu stood up and left.
Pei Dongli watched her leave step by step, feeling as nervous as in panic.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu had arrived at the door, Pei Dongli suddenly stood up and shouted: "Wait!"
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways and looked back: "Has Pei Bin decided?"
"Well!" Pei Dongli was now in a dilemma and could only give it a try.
Pei Dongli soon explained the origin of the corpse-eating insects in Lian Xin's body.
It came through the hands of Eunuch Zheng, the former manager of Si Gongtai, including the enthronement ceremony, and the corpse-eating bugs in the medicine box were the same.
I took the path of Sigongtai.
Wen Qingzhu looked into her eyes: "You really didn't hide anything?"
Pei Dongli was very honest: "Of course I hid part of it. After all, I don't know if the princess will keep her word."
Wen Qingzhu laughed, and when he turned to leave, he told Lu Tao: "Tell Bai Di to improve the life in Huaxelou. After all, Pei Bin is the empress with the highest status."
Returning to the Xuanzheng Hall, Wen Qingzhu changed his clothes and prepared to go to court.
When she arrived at the main hall, she was surprised to find that He Zhuan was here.
After all the officials saluted, Wei Ziying was the first to say: "Princess, I have something to do."
"Prime Minister Wei, please speak."
Wei Ziying raised his head and said: "I think Zhu Zirui is not suitable to be the commander of the imperial army, and I hope that the princess will choose someone else. In addition, Wei Hai also has many problems, and I think he needs to be re-taught."
"Oh?" Wen Qingzhu's thoughts suddenly changed. Does Wei Ziying already know what happened last night
But she only met Zhu Zirui once and didn't do anything else
Wen Qingzhu asked: "I think Mr. Zhu is not bad. I met him last night. He is a good boy."
"The princess thinks it's good and it's his luck, but I think this child is far inferior to Wei Yu. It's really inappropriate for him to hold such an important position."
Wei Ziying insisted again and again, and everyone else, not to mention Wen Qingzhu, sensed something fishy.
"Princess, please get rid of Zhu Zirui!" Wei Ziying knelt down when he saw Wen Qingzhu thinking about it.
Lei Xiao also followed at this time and said: "Although Wei Hai is not young, his behavior is not stable enough and he is too stubborn. I suggest that Wei Hai be put down for a while."
"But I feel that they are all talented people. How can they become talented people if they are not given a chance? Besides, Zhu Zirui is only the temporary commander. When Wei Yu comes back, he will naturally step down."
Wen Qingzhu disagreed. She hadn't met Beidou yet, so she couldn't just agree with Wei Ziying.
After they finished speaking, He Zhuo stepped forward to start playing.
"Princess Qi, the inventory task has been completely completed. Now the Ministry of Household Affairs is re-editing and reorganizing the household registration. It will take some time. This is the report of Wei Chen!"
He Zhuo presented a booklet, and Lu Tao came down and presented it to Wen Qingzhu.
When Wen Qingzhu opened it, he actually saw Wan Ze's handwriting.
She couldn't help but smile. This He Zhuan was indeed too cautious and refused to shoulder the responsibility for anything.
However, since he had not made any other changes, Wen Qingzhu said: "The immortal made a small mistake last night and interfered in the affairs of Huaqing Palace. She has no status yet and is really brave. It's better to do this. Mr. He will take care of the immortal first." If the emperor thinks of her then, how about taking her back to the palace?"
"Wei Chen obeys!" He Zhui immediately knelt down and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wen Qingzhu was willing to let Xianxian go home.
In view of the previous purges, except for the few courtiers in charge, the other officials did not dare to say much.
As soon as Wei Ziying and the others finished speaking, the court session was over.
When leaving, Wei Ziying and He Zhui followed him.
Wen Qingzhu returned to Huaqing Palace and arranged for He Xianxian to be brought over.
When she saw He Zhuan, her eyes were a little dull, but she still saluted and said hello.
Wen Qingzhu waved his hand and said: "From today on, Xianxian and Master He can go back and rest."
"Yes." He Xianxian lowered his head in response.
As soon as the He family father and daughter left, Wei Ziying said directly: "Princess, the assassination at the enthronement ceremony was most likely related to Zhu Zirui. I kindly ask the princess to let Zi Rui go for once, for the sake of the Wei family."
"Master Wei, do you have any evidence?" Wen Qingzhu was not in a hurry. There must be no evidence for what Wei Ziying said.
Wei Ziying shook his head.
Wen Qingzhu immediately comforted him: "Isn't that right? You can't convict people just based on some guesses. I don't think Zhu Zirui has a big problem. It's most likely that he doesn't know people well and listened to things he shouldn't have heard. He won't be the mastermind after all. .”
"Princess!" Wei Ziying was frightened. It took him a while to regain his breath, "Princess, did you find any evidence?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at Wei Ziying deeply: "I won't let him go. On the one hand, I don't want to alert the enemy, and on the other hand, he may still have a chance to atone for his sins, but I believe in Mr. Wei no matter how he chooses."
"Yes, but he is not a child of the Wei family." Wei Ziying sighed deeply.
"But he was recommended by your Wei family, so the Wei family is naturally responsible. Besides, he is the old lady's nephew, so he must be aware of his character."
Wen Qingzhu didn't plan to agree to Wei Ziying, she was still waiting for news from Hei Jiren.
She was indeed a little surprised that the incompetent Eunuch Zheng was actually from the Xiongnu side.
Seeing that she didn't want to say too much about this matter, Wei Ziying could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
But before he could kneel down, he was stopped by Lu Tao: "You can't do it, Prime Minister Wei. The situation is complicated now. Zhu Zirui may not have any problems."
At this time, Beidou came back carrying a person in one hand.
Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw that one of them was Zhu Zirui.
When Wei Ziying saw this situation, he gave up interceding completely.
Beidou came in and threw a middle-aged man directly to the ground, while carefully putting Zhu Zirui down.
Then he made gestures and said: He wants to kill him.
The first one is a middle-aged man, and the other one is Zhu Zirui.
Wen Qingzhu frowned and ordered Jasmine to step forward to wake Zhu Zirui up.
Soon Zhu Zirui screamed and jumped up from the ground, making a defensive posture.
After seeing the surroundings and the people in front of him clearly, he rushed directly to Wei Ziying, hugged him and cried: "Uncle!"
Wei Ziying patted his head and asked, "What's going on? Speak slowly."
Only then did Zhu Zirui notice Wen Qingzhu's gaze, and slowly calmed down. He stood and looked at the people on the ground and said, "His name is Zhao Ke. He is a relative of General Zhao's family. I introduced him to the Forbidden Army. No. To think that he is actually a spy of the Huns!"
"How do you say that?" Wen Qingzhu concentrated, trying to tell whether Zhu Zirui was lying.
Just listen to him start to recall what happened last night.
The more Zhu Zirui thought about it yesterday, the more wrong he became. He felt that he should go find Linlin immediately.
He acted as he said, and he immediately went to Qingning Palace.
Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Wen Mingxuan accompanying Wei Qinglin in the courtyard.
He went over and beheaded them on the spot, scolded Wen Mingxuan and left. Finally, he helped Wei Qinglin and said, "You are the future queen! How can you keep having contact with your foreigner!"
Wei Qinglin was furious and pushed him: "Who told you that I had to marry Jiang Yuanhan! Get out of here!"
Soon Grandma Zhang appeared. He was also a foreigner, so he was naturally grateful to retreat.
He went back to the Forbidden Army Guards Station and originally wanted to find Zhao Ke, but was told that Zhao Ke went to patrol the Leng Palace on behalf of his nephew.
Zhu Zirui turned around and went to Leng Gong. He was very good at martial arts, especially Qing Gong.
I quickly found Zhao Ke, but I didn't want to find Zhao Ke hiding under a big tree, saying something to the man in Hun dialect.
He was stunned for a moment and made a sound. Zhao Ke looked gloomy and drew his sword to kill him.
When Zhao Ke rushed over, a black figure quickly fled towards the north gate.
