The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

Ah Xun looked at King Wei's face as he spoke. For a moment, he felt that Pei Zhi wanted to kill him.

"You and I are both ministers of the Zhou Dynasty. It is not appropriate to discuss the whereabouts of the noble concubine here."

Ah Xun laughed twice, a gentleman would not deceive the dark room, and Pei Zhi was about the same.

There were only two people in this place, one was a powerful minister who was just trying to show his usurpation of the throne, and the other was the son of Prince Liang who pretended to be a Qing monarch but actually wanted to stand on his own feet.

Pei Zhi can still pretend to be serious and talk about the way to be a minister.

"If King Wei agrees, he can let the imperial concubine fake her death and leave the city. Jinling will send people to take care of her, and I will never let you get any notoriety."

Pei Zhi looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Ah Xun thought that King Wei had agreed, and he just breathed a sigh of relief when his neck was strangled.

"Fu Xun, Gu is not giving you too much face." Pei Zhi tightened his hand, "Are you worthy of negotiating terms with Gu?"

Ah Xun felt like his neck was about to be broken, but he couldn't use his inner strength, otherwise his secret would be revealed.

When his consciousness began to drift, Pei Zhi loosened his hand and said in a cold voice: "If I want to negotiate terms, let that old man Fu Xing come in person."

When Pei Zhi left, Ah Xun's first thought was that the King of Wei would not let the imperial concubine go, and no conditions were possible, so it was more reliable to come to Yin.

Yu Tingwan didn't know what Ah Xun was doing when he left. When he came back, he deliberately covered his neck and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Ah Xun cast a comforting look, indicating that he was fine.

As soon as she felt relieved, she heard the emperor's chamberlain suddenly read out an edict, enumerating all the Bingzhou governor had done over the years. The fierce words reminded people of Pei Xu's edict to the emperor to suppress the three clans of the Zhou family.

Yu Tingwan looked at King Wei's seat, but it was still empty.

But the Yulin guards outside the hall had already rushed in, led by Chen Xi.

The so-called major crimes in the edict were just exaggerations. His real crime was that he encouraged Pei Su to fight for the throne. This year, his eldest son accepted two beauties from the prince.

Yu Tingwan sat next to Concubine Xian, not at all frightened by the battle.

Today's Hongmen banquet was arranged by Pei Zhi, and there would be no trouble. These Yulin guards took down the governor of Bingzhou without any effort.

The emperor issued an edict, Chen Xi followed the edict to arrest the thief, everything went as planned, and Pei Zhi completely disappeared behind the scenes.

Everyone knows who instigated today's drama, but no one dared to pierce the window paper. Instead, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said to the withered emperor: "Your Majesty is wise."

I don’t know whether he is talking about His Majesty’s sage or his loyalty to King Wei from a distance.

Yu Tingwan took a sip of tea. Every time she learned about Pei Zhi's methods in the previous dynasty, she couldn't help but feel scared.

"Is the empress drunk?" Qiutao whispered worriedly.

Only then did Yu Tingwan realize that his fingers holding the cup were trembling slightly, "It seems a little."

Concubine Xian tilted her head and said, "If you feel unwell, you can go back and rest first. However, you will be gone in half an hour at most."

However, a quarter of an hour later, the emperor left the table, citing physical weakness. Pei Zhi came belatedly and saw that all the ministers were silent. He calmly said, "Why are you so silent?"

Everyone looked at the reactions of those around them and unanimously chose to remain silent.

In the end, the governor of Yanzhou and the Taifu stood up and said: "Your Majesty has returned. I and others are worried about the holy body. They can't eat enough to drink and have fun."

These two people were both veterans who started their careers with Pei Xu, and were also Pei Zhi's mentors. They were willing to speak, and the others were relieved.

"The emperor is ill, and I am worried." Pei Zhi's voice was clear, and he suddenly turned to look at the prince, "In this case, if we don't leave today, what do you think of the prince?"

The prince responded naturally. When Yu Tingwan left with her concubine, she caught a glimpse of Pei Zhi standing on the white jade steps, seemingly watching the officials leave. He suddenly lowered his gaze and stared at her for a moment.

Being too far away, Yu Tingwan couldn't clearly see the emotion in his eyes, but subconsciously felt that she seemed to have made him unhappy again.

Pei Zhi saw from a distance that she looked frightened, his eyes became darker, and he ordered the attendants on the side: "Tell the Taifu and the governor of Yanzhou to wait for a while at the Prince of Wei's Mansion."

"Also, I ordered someone to invite the imperial concubine. If you have anything to do, please invite me."

When Yu Tingwan was "invited" to the side hall, his dissatisfaction with Pei Zhi had already overshadowed the fear he felt when he was frightened last time.

Have you ever invited someone like this? Several Dragon-Slaying Guards directly stopped her carriage and unabashedly exposed the swords on their waists, making the palace attendants who carried the sedan tremble with fear. Then they said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Wei, please speak to me."

After that, these people blocked the road and refused to let the sedan go.

Yu Tingwan had no choice but to let Qiutao take Ruyi back, leaving Gaoyue alone to follow him.

"Long time no see. I heard that your Majesty is ill." Pei Zhi paused and glanced at Yu Tingwan's wrist. "I feel very sorry."

"I can't bear the title of 'minister' from King Wei." Yu Tingwan's eyes were sarcastic. She still remembered the way Pei Zhi called himself "lonely" that night.

"I lost my temper that night, and I will never do it again."

He had not changed into his court uniform, and he was looking down at Yu Tingwan with serious eyes. For a moment, Yu Tingwan really felt that he was some kind of gentleman who promised a lot of money.

"That's all, let's forget about this matter." Yu Tingwan sighed softly, knowing that she would be leaving Chang'an soon. "I wonder what your highness wants to tell me?"

"My dearest concubine, the Marquis of Jiangling told me today that the King of Liang is willing to exchange Lujiang County for you."

Yu Tingwan's expression changed several times. Her brother liked to leave escape routes when doing things, so this substitution was probably just a test.

She couldn't figure out what King Wei was thinking, so she thought, maybe Pei Zhi wanted Lujiang County, but he said it would be embarrassing, so he wanted to ask her to go with Ah Xun in person.

That's Lujiang County. If we take it, Jinling will be at our fingertips.

"His Highness mentioned before that maybe one day I can help you." Yu Tingwan carefully considered his words, "Since the King of Wei protects me, I will naturally repay you."

There was no emotion in Pei Zhi's voice, and his expression remained unchanged as he said, "I'm really ashamed that your concubine understands justice so well."

He just wanted to warn Yu Tingwan today not to hang out with people like Jiangling Marquis. He didn't expect that Yu Tingwan could give him such a "surprise".

He has personally led the army since he was sixteen, and has never been defeated. He is very good at plotting and plotting. Even though he has never traded women for territory, no one dares to mention it in front of him.

But Yu Ting mentioned it late. It seemed that she was quite happy to go to Jinling.

"Your Highness is too worried. I'm just..." Yu Tingwan smiled and said, "I'm just trying to relieve your worries."

"What His Highness said that night gave me a great enlightenment, and I slept restlessly after that. Since I have received so much kindness from King Wei, I naturally have to repay him a little."

Pei Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's my fault, it's just a moment of anger. Please don't take it to heart."
