It was dark and gloomy in Shence Prison. Pei Jiaoran followed Lieutenant Liu's cronies and stopped in front of a cell. I saw one person tied to the torture rack, his clothes and blood stained together. It was obvious that he had been tortured.

But he could still make out Lu Zheng's appearance.

"Open the door." Pei Jiaoran said solemnly.

The sergeant next to her heard this and opened the door to let her in.

Lu Zheng heard the movement on the torture rack and slowly raised his head, "Ms. Pei, why are you here?"

"Sorry. This is my fault..." Pei Jiaoran lowered his head, "Are you okay?"

"I can't die. The Shence Army and our Jinwu Guards have been at odds for many years. It's not surprising that I would be tortured in their hands." Lu Zheng forced a smile on his face, "Qingjia, leave quickly. Wan What should I do if they say you and I are colluding and throw you into Shence Prison?"

Having seen the horrific criminal methods of the Shence Army, he was still frightened. Now that he saw Pei Jiaoran, he was even more reluctant to involve her. Not to mention how scary those instruments of torture were, if a woman like her went to Shence Prison, she would probably suffer even more cruel treatment.

After looking at Lu Zheng, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Please take care of yourself and take care of yourself. Your Majesty will give you justice."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Stepping out of Shence Prison, she sent the sergeant away. Walk towards the school grounds alone.

The fight on the school field continues. Li Xiujing is currently fighting with someone. The man was knocked to the ground easily by him.

I only heard someone saying not far away: "The general is really powerful, he has already defeated five people in a row."

Glancing at him, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips. Standing under the verandah, looking towards the school grounds.

Li Xiujing took off her round-necked robe, revealing half of her arms covered with purple brocade flowers. The red forehead on his head is quite eye-catching in the sun.

The person he was confronting now was obviously no match for him. No matter how hard the man tried, Li Xiujing could not move an inch. He even almost got knocked to the ground a few times.

In the blink of an eye, the man was knocked to the ground.

"The sixth one!"

"Look, Cao Hujun is here. He also knocked down six or seven people in a row. I don't know if the general can defeat him."

"Exactly. It was because they were forced by Cao Hujun's reputation that they allowed him to win. If you ask me, he is definitely no match for the general."

After a burst of cheers, Li Xiujing and Cao Wenzhong started their battles. The two sides tested each other, and then each held the other's arm and applied force on their hands.

Cao Wenzhong tried to trip Li Xiujing with his legs several times, but was resolved by him every time. In the end, Li Xiujing turned around and knocked him to the ground. There was another round of cheers all around.

Cao Wenzhong, who had lost face for the first time, said he wanted to play again. As a result, he was thrown to the ground again without any surprise. He wanted to play another game, but in the contemptuous voice of the right army, he could only lead his men and leave in despair.

Li Xiujing, who was in a good mood, looked around and happened to see Pei Jiaoran. He sent He Liang and Feng Yuanxian to take people for training, while he walked up the corridor to look for them.

"It's quite exciting." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

"How about we have a game?"

"Do you have any objections to me?" Pei Jiaoran leaned on the railing and looked at him with a leisurely expression. "How can I, a weak woman with no strength, be your opponent?"

"Are you a weak woman?" Li Xiujing asked back.

Avoiding his gaze, Pei Jiaoran said: "Lu Zheng was captured by Zhang Rang and brought here. Lieutenant Liu and I happened to have something to discuss, so I stopped by to take a look."

He had heard about Lu Zheng's arrest. But considering that Lu Zheng would not confess Pei Jiaoran, he did not inquire about the matter.

"Is he okay?"

"To live is to live. But someone in Shence Prison used torture on him, so he must be let out as soon as possible." Pei Jiaoran frowned and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver medicine to him." Li Xiujing touched her wrist bones and held her slender fingers. "I'm on duty today and can't go back with you. Do you want to stay and have dinner together? ?”

"Okay." Pei Jiaoran responded with a smile.

The food at Di's restaurant is really not to her liking.

After the servants finished serving the meal and looking at the dazzling array of food on the dining table, Pei Jiaoran once again sighed at the wealth of Shence Army.

After eating, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Xiujing intently. The tip of his lips raised, "Lieutenant Liu told me just now. If you dare to flirt with women outside, he will break your legs for me. Is it possible that you have such a bad record?"

"No. There are three thousand beauties in the world, but Qingjia is the only one in my heart." The smile on Li Xiujing's face gradually deepened, and she whispered: "If Qingjia doesn't believe it, you can give it a try. I promise to let you Qingjia satisfied."

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and looked at him faintly, then stood up.

"I have to go." After saying that, she cut her hands and left.

A ray of skylight followed her and scattered in front of her eyes. Li Xiujing looked at the place where Pei Jiaoran had been sitting just now and smiled lonely.

After leaving the imperial city, Pei Jiaoran did not return to Chongyifang immediately. Instead, she walked around the city. She didn't walk back to the square until the closing drum sounded, and entered the restaurant.

She and Wu Lingjia made an appointment to meet here.

As the night grew darker, a person wore a power fence and went up to the second floor. Knocked on the door.

He stood up, opened the door, and looked around to make sure there was no one there. Pei Jiaoran then welcomed the visitor inside.

"Jiajia." The visitor untied the power fence and looked at her with a gentle expression.

"Lingjia, have you thought it through clearly?" Pei Jiaoran looked at Wu Lingjia and said solemnly: "Once you choose to be with me, if there is a disaster in the future, it will be difficult for you to end your life."

Hearing this, Wu Lingjia chuckled lightly, "Jiajia, even if I don't choose to be with you, in the future, if Aye dies, the Wu family that has lost its blessing will be kicked out. I have to support this family to continue the legacy left by my ancestors. Glory."

Pei Jiaoran smiled after seeing clearly the desire for power in Wu Lingjia's eyes. Sure enough, all the good things in the world are not worth the joy of having power in your hands.

"But you still have to go find Wang Yu and ask him to transfer you to the household department." Holding Wu Lingjia's hand, Pei Jiaoran said with a smile: "No one under his chin can enter the household department, so keep an eye on me for him. If you take the initiative Please ask, he should be happy to help you."

"I see."

Pei Jiaoran has no right to intervene in personnel transfers at the moment. But if Wu Lingjia wanted to join the game, he could only go to Wang Yu. Ask Wang Yu to arrange for her to enter the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"It's still early, let me tell you about the current household department. I will have a general understanding, so that you won't be like a headless fly when you come in."

Pei Jiaoran spoke for two full hours. She talked about it in detail, ranging from the various accounts of the Household Department to who the officials of the Household Department were attached to.

Not only are the accounts of the household department riddled with holes, but even the personnel are intertwined and in control of each other.

"Lingjia, you get into this. At least on the surface, you and I are political enemies, so don't show any friendship to me."

Wu Lingjia nodded, "I know."

Pei Jiaoran looked at Wu Lingjia and smiled.

She walked into this sea of ​​fire for her sake and for her own sake. At that moment, it was as if a ray of skylight broke through the dark clouds overhead. The sky is coming again, the sun is shining, everything is spring, and new buds and buds have broken out of their shells one after another, challenging the old forces with new power.

Although these forces may seem trivial, they may eventually shake them.
