The Pei family was attacked, and everyone including Pei Ji'an did not expect it. Is Lai Junchen caught off guard? Pei Xiang, said that Pei Xiang's wife is the daughter of Chang Sunyu, and Chang Sunyu colluded with the foreign king to rebel. As the prime minister, Pei Xiang, no? Probably not? Know. Maybe there is some collusion between Pei Xiang and Zhang Sunyu.
Lai Junchen also knew that the Pei family was easy to provoke, so he didn't dare to say that the Pei family rebelled, but used a roundabout "maybe". After hearing these words, Pei Xiang just sneered, and didn't bother to argue with a word, even if he was taken to the prison, he never frowned.
As the eldest son of the Pei family, Pei Ji'an also publicly spoke for Li Huai many times, but was also taken away as a suspect.
Pei Xianghe? Pei Ji'an was taken away in the morning, and the news quickly spread throughout the imperial city. When Pei Chuyue heard this, she was stunned: "What, father and brother? Are you in jail?"
"Yes." The maidservant who sent the message also seemed to be in shock, "madam, are you afraid? The long-eyed man came to the lady and said that he disturbed the lady's pregnancy, so he sent the young one over to inform the lady. The lady knew about it. That's good, don't worry, Madam and Madam will take care of it."
Pei Chuyue supported her stomach, feeling dizzy for a moment. The surrounding maids were startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Pei Chuyue: "My lady..."
Pei Chuyue is already married to the eldest son of the Zhou family. She was diagnosed with pregnancy just last month, and is now raising a baby. Pei Chuyue had a serious illness before, and her body was contaminated with yin qi. This pregnancy was very dangerous. Both her mother's family and her in-law's family were afraid that she would hurt her body by slipping a tire, so they didn't let her work hard and found a clean place for her to raise her baby. Or? It's because this matter is too big, and Mrs. Pei is afraid that it will be more frightened by others, so she won't tell Pei Chuyue these things.
Pei Chuyue raised her hand, stopped the maid next to her, and asked the servant girl with strength: "Who took? Father and? Elder brother away."
The servant girl hesitated, Pei Chuyue's heart turned cold when she saw it: "Say!"
Seeing that she couldn't escape, the maid lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I'm here to serve the censor."
Pei Chuyue thumped in her heart, is it really him? Come to Junchen, this mad dog!
If it were someone else, Pei Chuyue wouldn't be afraid. The relatives and friends of the Pei family were all over the government and the public, and no one would dare to do anything to Pei Xianghe? The husband of the Pei family. However, it was Lai Junchen who did it. That villain is ruthless, unscrupulous, and especially likes to humiliate high families. When Pei Chuyue thought that her father and elder brother might be tortured by Lai Junchen, she trembled with anger.
Pei Chuyue's heart was beating fast, and she hurriedly asked for the details. Was the maid at first? Ken said, Pei Chuyue couldn't bear it, and scolded: "Quickly tell me, why are father and elder brother taken away? Before they left, who did they contact? You Can't you tell me the details, how do I rescue them?"
"Miss, the eldest lady will think of a way. The lady has not yet given birth to the first three months, and the fetal image is not stable. You just need to rest assured to raise the fetus. Don't worry about it, so as not to move the fetus."
"Father and elder brother have been taken away, how can I feel at ease?" Pei Chuyue scolded, "You don't say anything now, I'm really going to get pregnant. Where are father and brother imprisoned? Did mother find the way, what did grandma say?"
Seeing that Pei Chuyue was burning with anxiety, the maid knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she replied truthfully: "Mr. Xianggong and Dalang Junsi were taken away and imprisoned in Tingwei Prison. Madam is now mobilizing old friends. Bring Xianggong and Mr. Dalang out. But at this time of year, every household is worried, and there are not many who can help."
The more Pei Chuyue listened, the more her heart sank. When Lai Junchen came to the fore in Dongdu, Pei Chuyue didn't take it seriously. A commoner, would he be enough for a lifetime? What did he care about when he reached the threshold of Pei's house? Ordinary officials, Pei Chuyue didn't take it seriously, they? Their family is a powerful family, those sixth-rank and seventh-rank officials died, what did she have to do with her; Pei Chuyue still didn't take it seriously when the prince fell from the horse, and they? Their family is not the royal family, so what are they afraid of.
Finally, Lai Junchen's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and the taste of reaching the sky in one step was so fascinating. He suddenly found that those royal relatives, nobles and ministers who used to be high above seemed nothing. Under them, there is no way to fight back.
Lai Junchen gradually became dissatisfied with catching ordinary petty officials and soldiers, and his gaze became more and more upward. Finally, they reached out to such a giant as the Pei family.
Pei Chuyue sat on the soft bed for a while, trying to calm herself down. Her mother and grandma's connections are far stronger than hers, and even if her mother can't find anyone, she won't be useful. Besides connections, is there anything her mother can't do?...
Pei Chuyue's eyes lit up, she thought of it, Princess Guangning! Ordinary courtiers don't dare to intercede, but Princess Guangning doesn't? Princess Guangning is now married to King Wei. One of these two is the queen's most beloved daughter, and the other is her most valued nephew. Is there any reason why the queen should not respond to their conversation
Pei Chuyue stood up immediately, anxiously about to go out: "Hurry up and get the car, I'm going to the Wei Palace."
The servants around were startled when they heard this. The servant girl who came to report the letter from the Pei family hurriedly said: "Miss, you need to calm down. Princess Guangning is now Princess Wei, and we can't offend the nobles of the Wu family. The eldest lady has already gone to find Mr. Biao, wait a little longer, maybe There is a way, Mr. Biao.”
Cousin... Pei Chuyue was stunned for a moment: "Brother Gu?"
"Exactly." said the maidservant, "Young Master Biao is a fair person, and he is very trusted by the Queen. Why don't you let Young Master Biao talk to Princess Sheng Yuan, and Princess Sheng Yuan will come forward, and the matter between Mr. Xianggong and Mr. Lang will definitely be resolved. "
Hearing this name again, Pei Chuyue felt like a lifetime away. Ever since she got married, her energy has been occupied by her mother-in-law, servants, and husband, and she seldom pays attention to external affairs. Gu Mingke seems to be living in another world, with her in this world and the other in this place, and there is no intersection with her anymore.
When Pei Chuyue heard that her mother was planning to ask Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge for help, she didn't know why she was so angry, she said, "No? Use her, I can do it myself. Come here, get a car, and go to Wei Wangfu."
Pei Chuyue came to Li Changle full of expectations, but Li Changle didn't speak for a long time after listening.
Pei Chuyue's heart slowly felt a little chilly, she forcibly suppressed it, and looked at Li Changle earnestly: "Ale, now? Only you can help me. Mother and? That servant of Junchen is like a mad dog. Whoever pleads for the arrested people is a conspiracy. Many old friends are not convenient to come forward, but you are not the same as King Wei. If you come forward to intercede with the Queen, The Empress will never doubt."
Li Changle still couldn't speak. Both she and Li Huai are in danger. What if she pleads for the Pei family and implicates her and Li Huai
Recently, Li Huai'an kept his own point of view, the empress thought of Wu Yuanqing and Lai Junchen's arrogance when they broke into the Crown Prince's palace last time, and felt somewhat ashamed of Li Huai. In addition, Li Changle married Wu Yuanqing according to the queen's will, and the queen's attitude towards Li Huai gradually became looser. The attendants tried to ask Li Huai to move out of the deep palace, but the queen didn't? She vetoed it. Now is the critical moment to rescue Li Huai. If Li Changle is here to intercede with the Pei family at this time, the Pei family is still her ex-husband's family. What will the queen think
After much deliberation, Li Changle still felt that Pei Chuyue's friendship with her was worth the risk. In the final analysis, Li Huai is her trump card to turn around, and the rest are icing on the cake.
Li Changle looked up and saw that Pei Chuyue was still looking at her earnestly. Li Changle looked away, and said, "I never get involved in political affairs, and I can't do anything about external affairs."
Pei Chuyue's heart was vaguely uncomfortable, and she felt as if she had been splashed with cold water head-on. Pei Chuyue thought that Li Changle didn't understand, so she continued to explain to her: "Ale, you misunderstood. This is not a major national event, but someone framed my father and brother for rebellion. You and us grew up together, we Who is brother, do you still know? How could our family rebel. But those villains outside are jealous of their talents and trick their tongues in front of the queen. Go and explain to the queen, the queen must understand my father and brother It was wronged."
Li Changle sneered in his heart, the queen was deceived? impossible. When it comes to scheming and knowing people, who can fool the queen. Although Lai Junchen is a villain, he is also a smart person. He knows too well who can be messed with and who can't be messed with. Lai Junchen's targeting of the Pei family may not have been hinted by the empress.
If this is the case, then Li Changle will be more and more unable to come forward.
Moreover, when she begged Pei Ji'an so humblely, Pei Ji'an was like a piece of iron, he would rather die than marry her. He was so stubborn at that time, but now, why do he think of begging her
Li Changle said: "I know you are worried about your father and brother, but I never? Never? Intervene in external affairs. I really can't help. Don't worry, if the Pei family has a clear conscience, the queen will definitely return Pei Xianghe? Mr. Pei Dalang is innocent."
Pei Chuyue stared at Li Changle with wide eyes, barely knowing who the person in front of her was. Pei Chuyue can't believe it: "Ale, what are you talking about? We? We grew up together. After so many years of friendship, you don't even have a word of justice? Are you willing to help us? Hand it over?"
Now? Think about it? Talk about friendship with her? Li Changle curled the corners of his lower lips coldly, and he couldn't help but feel some resentment and pleasure in his tone: "If Mr. Pei Dalang really cared about friendship, he wouldn't have put me in that kind of situation back then. It was him back then? I begged my father to give me a marriage, and then he said no? It was appropriate, and he only regarded me as a younger sister. Did he retire sooner or later? Retirement, just in time for Tubo and his mother? Retire. He? Since there has been no marriage proposal for so many years, then? Go to him? The person who misses you, come to me, the ex-fiancée who has divorced, wouldn't it be criticized by others. "
"You..." Pei Chuyue was trembling with anger. She clutched her lower abdomen, stood up with difficulty from the ground, and said angrily, "Okay, no? Don't dare to bother Princess Guangning. Princess Guangning, Princess Wei, you live in peace and happiness, and I will leave now." .”
Pei Chuyue rushed out angrily. The maid just came in with fresh cakes. She was about to greet Pei Chuyue, but was pushed away by Pei Chuyue with a cold face. The maid was stunned. She had served Li Changle for many years, almost watching Li Changle and Pei Chuyue grow up. They? The two little girls have always been close? Why did they fall out today
The maid came in and asked in surprise, "Princess, why did Mrs. Pei leave? Did someone make her angry?"
Li Changle just smiled coldly, and said: "Shengmi is fighting against Michou, other people don't help, she cares about each other's difficulties, I don't help, but become enemies. I'm sorry, Pei family , I don't owe them? Why should I be driven by their family? Let her go, don't worry about her."
The palace maid looked embarrassed, she frowned, and tried to persuade her several times but couldn't speak. Finally, the maid let out a long sigh.
After Li Changle sent Pei Chuyue away, his mood was extremely bad. She asked someone to pass on the actors, and planned to listen to some tunes to relieve boredom. The actor had just opened his voice when a person came running in from outside and hurriedly said, "Princess, is it a big deal? Well, Mrs. Zhou drove the car in a hurry after leaving the mansion, and she didn't dodge it when she turned the corner. What about another car?" Hit. Zhou's car was knocked over, Mrs. Zhou's child was lost, and she had a miscarriage."
"What?" Li Changle stood up suddenly, his expression was full of surprise, "She is pregnant?"
In the first three months of pregnancy, it is not appropriate to make a public announcement, and Pei Chuyue's fetus is not stable, so except for the Pei family and the Zhou family, no one else knows that Pei Chuyue is pregnant. After she and Li Changle quarreled, she was excited and kept urging the coachman to leave, but something happened.
After listening to the attendant's report, Li Chaoge sighed inwardly. In her previous life, Pei Chuyue had a car overturn on the way to the palace and had a miscarriage. Of course, it was Li Chaoge's handwriting. Li Chaoge killed countless people in his previous life, but he felt guilty when he killed Pei Chuyue. In this life, Li Chaoge did not follow the same path as in the previous life. Unexpectedly, Pei Chuyue was still unavoidable.
The difference is that in the previous life, Pei Chuyue wanted to avenge Li Changle's grievances, but in this life, it was because of a falling out with Li Changle.
But fortunately, people saved it. As long as the adults are around, the child can be conceived again in the future. Li Chaoge picked up the cloak, and walked out while ordering: "Prepare the horse."
Seeing this, the attendant asked, "Princess, where are you going?"
"Ting Wei Prison."
There are several prisons in Luoyang. Jingzhao Yin has Tingwei Prison, Dali Temple has Dali Prison, and now? There is also an imperial prison for suppressing demons.
When Jing Zhaoyin saw Li Chaoge, didn't he dare to stop him, and carefully led Li Chaoge to the prison. Li Chaoge was walking in the damp and cold dungeon, did he hear shouts to force a confession from a distance. Jing Zhaoyin wanted to step forward to remind him, but was stopped by Li Chaoge.
Li Chaoge was wearing a black cloak, and the white fluff was clustered around her neck, and the chin that lined it was as delicate as jade. Li Chaoge put down his hands, no? Is it urgent? He said slowly: "Come to serve the censor? I'm busy, or not? I'm going to disturb you."
Lai Junchen led people to interrogate Pei Silian and Pei Ji'an in the prison. Pei Silian was extremely proud. Even though he was in prison, he still insisted on his character. No matter how arrogant Lai Junchen was, he never replied a word. Lai Junchen was so angry that he became angry and said, "I see how long you can keep your mouth shut. Someone, tie him to the rack."
The jailers hesitated a little, but Lai Junchen whipped him and tied up Pei Silian. Pei Ji'an was imprisoned in the cell next door, and they remained calm all the time. When they saw their father tied to the rack, they clenched their fists suddenly. They wanted to stop him, but they were afraid that Lai Junchen would find out what happened after he opened his mouth, and he would hurt his father instead. Pei Ji'an endured it, like his father said, no matter what happened, he didn't care about it, and he just bowed his head.
Lai Junchen arranged the cells of Pei Silian and Pei Ji'an's father and son together, naturally for a purpose. If they are interrogated separately, neither of them will be recruited; but if the father is whipped in front of the son, or the son is tortured in front of the father, Lai Junchen is looking forward to how long they can last.
Lai Junchen held the whip in his hand, and slowly paced around Pei Silian, the handle of the whip was dangling, as if he was about to pull it out in a second. Pei Ji'an tried his best not to look at him, but every time Lai Junchen took a step, his heart trembled violently.
Pei Silian's hands and feet were tied to the wooden frame with iron chains. Even in such a mess, his eyes were still bright and he was not afraid.
Lai Junchen said slowly: "Pei Gong, you are the prime minister of the country, and I also admire your talent and learning in private. No, but the most important thing to be a courtier is loyalty. Even if I admire you again, I have to fulfill the queen's mission well." I'm not willing to punish a highly respected prime minister like you, so how about it, Prime Minister Pei, as long as you tell about Chang Sun Yu's private deeds, whoever you usually associate with, I will let you go. You see How about it?"
Pei Silian sneered. He? Finally? Turned his head and looked at Junchen. Lai Junchen thought that Pei Silian was interested, and he moved closer to listen, but was spat on by Pei Silian.
Lai Junchen was spit on by Pei Silian, he was instantly enraged, the people around saw him and rushed up to help Lai Junchen wipe his face. Lai Junchen pushed away the people around him and said angrily, "Toast? Eat and drink as punishment."
He raised his whip high and tried his best to whip it at Pei Silian. Pei Ji'an's heart sank heavily, and he immediately shouted: "Stop!"
Although Lai Junchen tied up Pei Silian, the interrogator was not Pei Silian, but Pei Ji'an. Pei Ji'an was really fooled, Pei Silian's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Pei Ji'an, go back."
Pei Ji An knew that Lai Junchen's trap lay ahead, but he had to jump. Pei Ji'an said with a sullen face: "My father doesn't have anything? I know, what means do you have to attack me."
Pei Silian yelled loudly: "Pei Ji'an, shut up!"
Not yet? Said, Lai Junchen sneered in his heart, this time he really gathered his strength, and slammed Pei Silian fiercely. Pei Ji'an's eyes widened, and veins stretched out on his arms. At that moment, he felt a sense of aura. It seemed that as long as he thought about it, the mere iron chain couldn't control him at all. Pei Ji'an was in a state that seemed mysterious but not mysterious, when the tail of the whip suddenly twirled around Pei Silian, and slammed on the dog leg beside him.
The dog's leg fell to the ground by the whip, clutching his arm and yelling. Lai Junchen looked back with a gloomy face, and saw a woman in black standing at the end of the aisle, in the flickering firelight.
Lai Junchen squinted his eyes, and immediately asked with a smile: "Princess Sheng Yuan? Princess Jinzhiyuye, why did you come to such a dark place?"
Li Chaoge raised his steps, walked slowly to the prison, and said leisurely: "Where I want to go, is it up to you? Pei Silian is a prime minister after all, serving the imperial censor? Have you obtained the approval from the Ministry of Punishment to lynch him?"
How could Lai Junchen have the approval of the Ministry of Punishment? Lai Junchen stared at Li Chaoge sympathetically, he? Do you know if Li Chaoge likes them? Little people? They are the most sensitive. One look at Li Chaoge's eyes, Lai Junchen knew that she didn't like them? They
Lai Junchen sneered, and said, "I have the Queen's dispensation. In order to investigate the case of treason, if necessary, I can kill it first and then play it. On the contrary, it is Princess Sheng Yuan, what is the wind? Have you blown here?"
"Coincidentally." Li Chaoge took out the token of the town monster, waved it in the corridor, and signaled to the people behind him, "The Chongming bird is suspected to have appeared in Pei's house, and all relevant personnel must be brought back to the town. The demon priest is interrogating. Open the door, from now on, Pei Silian and Pei Ji'an will return to the town demon priest to take over."
Lai Junchen stared at Li Chaoge closely, and twitched the corners of his mouth with a smirk: "Princess Sheng Yuan? Is it always? Is it advocating that the Chongming Bird is in the palace? How come it happens to be there? Did the Pei family see it?"
"Then? That's my business." Li Chaoge's figure was covered by a cloak, dignified and precious. She glanced at Jing Zhaoyin lightly, and asked, "Master Zhang, why don't you open the door?"
Jing Zhaoyin looked at Li Chaoge and then at Lai Junchen. In the end, he didn't dare to provoke Li Chaoge, and obediently took out the key. The door and shackles of Pei Ji'an's cell were quickly opened, but instead it was Pei Silian's cell, with the jailer standing outside, somewhat in a dilemma.
Li Chaoge stretched out his hand, patted the fine dust on his collar, didn't he? He said casually, "Come to serve Yushi? Could it be that you want to rob someone with? Zhenyaosi?"
Lai Junchen's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid of offending the Queen if you do this?"
Li Chaoge just smiled lightly at this, and she withdrew her hand, feeling a little impatient: "Take it away."
The person from Zhenyaosi clasped his fists, and immediately stepped forward to unchain Pei Silian's body, his movements were much more agile than Jing Zhaoyin's. Seeing that the person had already been brought out, Li Chaoge glanced at Lai Junchen lightly, and walked away with her cape gathered.
Jing Zhaoyin was left behind, a little embarrassed. He? smiled at Lai Junchen, reluctantly said some polite words, after that he? didn't dare to stay to see Lai Junchen's face, and quickly slipped away.
After leaving Tingwei Prison, Li Chaoge ordered Pei Ji'an and Pei Silian to be put into the carriage. Pei Ji'an stood by the carriage, and seemed to want to say something to Li Chaoge, but Li Chaoge turned around and rode in front.
Pei Ji'an silently closed his mouth and helped his father into the car.
Li Chaoge didn't have a word with her all the way? Then? The two said that after arriving at the town demon division, she strode into the prison and said, "Strictly guarded, no one is allowed to make peace with him except for food delivery." They don't talk. The world is not as big as the case of Zhenyaosi. No matter who visits outside, they will all refuse. As long as they can't find out the whereabouts of Chongming Bird, they are not allowed to issue an edict One step to prison."
Pei Silian had never seen the Chongming Bird in private, how could he figure out the whereabouts of the Chongming Bird? Pei Silian was sent to the cell, he went in calmly, nodded to Li Chaoge and said, "Thank you, Princess Sheng Yuan."
Li Chaoge gave him a cold look, then turned and left. Li Chaoge sent Pei Ji'an to another cell, but Pei Ji'an was silent all the way, and he was not noisy when he was put in prison. But when the door was locked, he suddenly said, "Princess Sheng Yuan, please stay."
The people around stopped their movements and quietly raised their heads to look at Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge's cheeks were tucked into the fur collar, and after a while, he lightly raised his chin to everyone.
Everyone saluted and quietly retreated. Pei Ji'an waited all the way, and now finally? Waited for the chance to speak. He bowed his hands solemnly to Li Chaoge and said, "Thank you."
Li Chaoge stood far away and said, "It's nothing to do with you, or it's because of Gu Mingke's face, so I won't take care of your family's affairs."
Pei Ji'an smiled wryly, yes, he? Of course he knew. He got up and stood still. Not far away, in another cell, Pei Silian kept looking in this direction. Pei Ji'an was afraid of being heard by his father, so he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Anyway, I owe you this thank you."
After this day's life in prison, Pei Ji'an realized what Li Chaoge had done for him and for the Pei family in his previous life. The rebellion and liquidation in the previous life were much more turbulent than in this life, and the Pei family was able to escape unscathed, thanks to Li Chaoge.
Li Chaoge didn't respond when he heard it, and turned around to leave. She took two steps, and Pei Ji'an's hoarse and deep voice came from behind: "Fortunately, in this life, it's you."
Li Chaoge paused slightly, but only for a moment, before she strode forward again. The queen knows everything in her heart. The queen knows that Lai Junchen is a villain, and she also knows which families were framed by Lai Junchen, and which families really have evil intentions, but the queen still delegates power to Lai Junchen. Is she worthy of the throne? Plus, she is a woman, so she must have full deterrent power in order to secure her position.
The queen needs a knife to help her kill people who threaten her. She will dispose of the knife when the cleaning is almost done. She is a wise monarch who understands righteousness and distinguishes traitors. Since ancient times, the change of power has been full of blood. As long as the empress is gentle with the people at the bottom, so that the people can afford to eat, as for how many officials and royal families of the previous dynasty are killed, do the people care
Nobody cares. Lai Junchen clung to the aristocratic family so arrogantly, but there was no shortage of people in key positions in the court, and the court was still operating stably. Those who were severely affected by the disaster were those departments that were crowded with aristocratic families but were spared, streamlined or even completely cut off. Kill the old officials who occupy the position, just to replace the newly promoted poor family. Aristocratic families don't have to think too highly of themselves, they do some jobs, and so do poor families.
Li Chaoge stepped out of the imperial prison, outside the westerly wind was howling, and the snow was flying. Li Chaoge got on his horse and galloped towards the Princess Mansion. Fine snowflakes hit Li Chaoge's face, making it cool.
Li Chaoge found it ridiculous. In her previous life, she was that kind of knife, and the Pei family treated her differently. Now? She has become the savior in the hearts of the aristocratic family.
The fate of life is really ironic.
Li Chaoge returned to the princess mansion, the princess mansion was quiet, the upper room was lit, it looked like a lighthouse from a distance. Gu Mingke was reading in the room, and when he heard the door open, he turned a page and said clearly, "You're back."
"En." Li Chaoge took off his cloak, and the maid stepped forward to take it, and one after another changed Li Chaoge's clothes. Gu Mingke poured a cup of tea, put it on the opposite side, and asked, "How is it?"
"People brought it out." Li Chaoge changed into a warm and light skirt, and she sat opposite Gu Mingke. When she picked up the tea cup, the temperature inside was just right for drinking. Seeing Li Chaoge lowering his eyes, Gu Mingke didn't talk for a long time, and asked, "What's the matter, do you seem in a good mood? Great."
"It's nothing." Li Chaoge put down the teacup and let out a long breath, "Tell me, what is kingly way?"
