After leaving the palace, Pei Anlin strode towards the carriage with a solemn expression.
Unexpectedly, the coachman's face was ugly, and when he saw him, he shouted: "General, be careful..."
As soon as the coachman uttered four words, he was knocked out by a hand protruding from the curtain.
Pei Anlin drew out the long sword at his waist, and the guards behind him were also ready.
And the curtain of the car was lifted at this time, revealing General Kong's face full of vicissitudes and years.
Seeing this, Pei Anlin narrowed his eyes, and looked suspiciously at General Kong: "What exactly are you trying to do?"
General Kong's dark face showed a trace of uneasiness, he closed his eyes, his voice trembling: "I know what you are going to do, don't you want to talk to me?"
Hearing this, Pei Anlin's expression turned serious.
Seeing that the point of his sword was about to point at him, General Kong immediately said: "I came here for no other purpose, I just want to sit down with you and have a peaceful talk."
"Get in the car." Pei Anlin said to the guard behind him.
The guard understood what he meant, and immediately lifted the unconscious driver down, and sat in front of the carriage with a serious face, while Pei Anlin walked into the carriage.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Pei Anlin said coldly, "Threatening me?"
"You have worked with me for dozens of years, so you should know my character better than anyone else." General Kong said helplessly, "I am definitely not threatening..."
"If that's the case, then why did you defect during the Qichen Incident? Why did you help him?" Pei Anlin's voice suddenly became cold, "Do you know that His Royal Highness is still waiting for your rescue until the last moment?"
Hearing this, General Kong showed a sad expression on his face.
He smiled, as if laughing at his fate.
"Why didn't I know? But I really... really couldn't get away!" General Kong closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down like this, "My parents and children are all in his hands! I was really ..."
"It's okay for you to be there for your parents and children, but since you've done it, don't act that innocent again. It's really disgusting to see." Pei Anlin sneered, "Who doesn't have a problem? The Lu family There is only one person left in the whole family, but your Kong family has kept all of them."
General Kong opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Pei Anlin: "What do you want to do when you say these words today? Don't tell me you want to abandon the dark and turn to the bright now?"
Hearing this, General Kong completely swallowed the words that came to his lips because of Pei Anlin's words.
He closed his eyes in pain, wanted to say something, but dared not say any more.
What Pei Anlin said is right, no one in this world has more confidence to say this than him, and if he said this to Pei Anlin today, it would be really...
"Whether you believe it or not, I have never thought of harming Your Highness since the Qichen Incident. Even the fire that year was not caused by me." General Kong said in a low voice, "I came today because I really wanted to kill you." I want to tell you something very important."
"Okay." Pei Anlin gave him a disgusted look, "I know what you want to do, it's just a warning to us to be careful, you don't need to worry about it."
"If there is anything to worry about, it should be about you." Pei Anlin sarcastically said, "What if your parents, wife and children are controlled by him again? By then, you may have to betray His Highness again." !"
Just as General Kong was about to deny it, he was knocked out by Pei Anlin's palm.
He didn't defend himself when he was talking to Pei Anlin, so Pei Anlin easily knocked him out.
In addition, he ran to the Pei family's carriage by himself, and his actions were very secretive, and no one knew about it.
Thus, General Kong was quietly imprisoned in the dungeon of the Pei Mansion on the carriage of the Pei Mansion.
Any movement in Pei's mansion could not be hidden from the Eldest Princess. After hearing the news, she immediately rushed to the study.
Seeing her, Pei Anlin got up quickly and respectfully said, "Mother, you are here."
"I'm here to see what you're planning." The Eldest Princess frowned, "Although General Kong is not loyal to the crown prince, he is an official appointed by the court and has been diligently serving the people over the years. It's to help Xie Yan regain the throne, but it doesn't mean we want to drive out all the emperor's followers."
Hearing this, Pei Anlin shook his head: "Mother, you don't know, that bastard surnamed Kong already knows the identity of Xie Yan, and deduced our plan through some clues, how can I keep him?"
"Of course, I never intend to take his life." Pei Anlin added, "I just want to completely cut off his contact with the outside world. Otherwise, what if he betrays us like 20 years ago?"
"Besides, in the dungeon, except that I can't see the sun, I will provide him with everything to eat and drink, and I will never suffer him."
Pei Anlin made a strong oath, which made the eldest princess feel at ease.
But soon, the eldest princess turned cold again: "It's time for Ning'er to come back. Ning'er has caused a lot of troubles in the palace these days! The emperor's stroke is related to her!"
Pei Anlin's eyes widened, and the Eldest Princess said loudly: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? She tricked those newly-canonized concubines to use drugs to enhance the fun. Even if a concubine takes medicine, the emperor can survive Wait, but how about the four concubines taking medicine at the same time? Even if the emperor was still in his thirties, he couldn't bear such a toss!"
Hearing this, the corners of Pei Anlin's mouth trembled, and he murmured: "Ning'er has always been well-behaved, and I don't know about this..."
"Okay." The eldest princess waved her hand angrily, "You don't know her, don't I know? She did it on purpose! I'm afraid she just wanted to vent her anger for Xie Yan!"
Pei Anlin immediately replied: "In this way, it proves that our Ning'er is smart. If the emperor's stroke had not given those aristocratic families an opportunity, our plan would not have progressed so quickly."
The eldest princess's mouth twitched when she heard these words.
She loves Gu Ning, but it is far from Pei Anlin's love. Look at Pei Anlin's favored heart. If Gu Ning kills someone with his own hands, he will make friends with Gu Ning and help Gu Ning at the same time. Bury.
Facing the condemning gaze from the eldest princess, Pei Anlin knew he had made a slip of the tongue, but he couldn't say a word when he was asked to blame Gu Ning.
If it was before, seeing Gu Ning chasing after Chu Yunyi's ass, he must have something to say, but now...he feels that Gu Ning's kindness and enmity are the seed of their Pei family!
As Pei Anlin's mother, the eldest princess could see what Pei Anlin was thinking at a glance.
"Okay, okay." The eldest princess waved her hand angrily, "Just tell Gu Ning, if she doesn't come back, I'll go to the palace to catch her myself with this old bone!"
Pei Anlin wanted to speak for Gu Ning again: "Ning'er still needs to take care of that child Shi Ling, why not..."
"Nowadays the emperor is too busy to take care of himself, so he doesn't have the time to indulge in female sex. Besides, if he really wants to indulge in female sex, there are still many concubines waiting to serve him in the palace!"
As the eldest princess spoke, her tone became a little colder: "After all, the emperor is old, and they have no children or concubines. The only way to go is to be buried."
Hearing these words, Pei Anlin couldn't help but feel depressed.
Just as the eldest princess said, these concubines tried their best, just for a way out.
So, his lips moved a few times, and he said cautiously: "If Xie Yan becomes the emperor, can this old rule be abolished?"
The eldest princess glanced at Pei Anlin, and nodded slowly under Pei Anlin's gaze: "I will try to mention it to him."
At the same time, in Zhaoyang Hall.
As soon as the news of the emperor's stroke came out, the entire harem was like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, which instantly became choppy.
Originally, the people in the harem were mainly fighting with Concubine Yang and Concubine Mo, but now, everyone began to find a way out for themselves.
Concubine Chen's publicity is not so conspicuous in these actions.
She frowned, and looked at Yancao with some anxiety: "Could it be that I did something wrong?"
Now Concubine Chen has only one task in the palace, which is to make her presence known, to make everyone in the harem envy and jealous of her, and to make the emperor pay attention to the child in her womb.
However, since the emperor had a stroke, let alone the harem, he had never even been to a grand court meeting, and the harem seemed very strange during this period, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
Yan Cao shook her head lightly when she heard the words: "It shouldn't be because of you, Madam, I'm afraid it's... because of the emperor's stroke."
While Yancao was talking, several people who looked like court ladies walked in.
Concubine Chen's hanging heart suddenly became calm after seeing Gu Ning, and then she opened her eyes wide and said loudly: "I know why! It's because if the emperor If they die, the concubines who have no heirs in the harem will be buried! That's why they are so terrified!"
Hearing this, Gu Ning just raised his foot and put it heavily on the ground, just like her heavy heart.
"What did you say?" Gu Ning opened his eyes wide, "What sacrificial funeral?"
Yancao hurriedly tugged on Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen was stubborn and said loudly: "There was a rule in the previous dynasty, but all concubines without heirs had to be buried to serve the emperor underground! When Taizong established the Kingdom of Chu, This rule was originally abolished, but when the emperor succeeded to the throne, he activated this rule again."
For a moment, Gu Ning sneered: "It really seems like something the emperor would do."
The emperor was selfish, sitting on the throne did not consider the sufferings of the people, but put all his thoughts on how to enjoy himself. He built six palaces alone. You must know that from Taizong to the first emperor, only three were built. Xinggong.
It is normal for such a person to use the evil customs of the previous dynasty in order to show the majesty of his emperor.
Under the gaze of Concubine Chen, Gu Ning said lightly: "What's the matter? If you change the emperor, this rule will naturally be abolished."
Hearing this, Concubine Chen was completely stunned.
She opened her mouth and looked at Gu Ning, cold sweat broke out on her forehead because of nervousness.
This is the first time that Concubine Chen has heard Gu Ning speak out about her ambitions so bluntly. For a while, all kinds of methods of killing and silence have been turned in Concubine Chen's mind.
However, Gu Ning patted her on the shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, you and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope. If something goes wrong with me, you won't survive, and General Zheng..."
Hearing this, Concubine Chen became sober in an instant: "Don't worry, princess, Zheng Li and I are loyal to you, and we will never have two hearts!"
Gu Ning didn't take her guarantee seriously, but since she had Concubine Chen's handle, she wasn't worried that Concubine Chen would tell the story.
"Concubine Chen, I will trouble you to watch more in the palace these few days." Gu Ning said softly, "Especially on the side of the emperor, you should pay more attention and inform me of the emperor's movements in time."
Concubine Chen nodded quickly, but she struggled for a moment, then asked eagerly: "Princess, when can I leave the imperial city?"
"Soon." Gu Ning thought for a moment, and said solemnly, "Perhaps in this month, you and General Zheng will be able to be together in a fair and aboveboard manner."
Hearing this, Concubine Chen's eyes burst into an astonishing light.
Yancao stood aside, knowing that Gu Ning would not kill Concubine Chen, she was relieved.
Watching Gu Ning leave, Concubine Chen stabilized her mind and said to Yan Cao: "Prepare the medicinal food, I am going to the Tai Chi Hall to greet the emperor."
Unexpectedly, the coachman's face was ugly, and when he saw him, he shouted: "General, be careful..."
As soon as the coachman uttered four words, he was knocked out by a hand protruding from the curtain.
Pei Anlin drew out the long sword at his waist, and the guards behind him were also ready.
