After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

On the pavilion not far away. Pei Jiaoran and the prince looked at Fang Jianyue who was walking away and smiled at each other.

"What did you say to Fang Jianyue?" The prince looked at Pei Jiaoran suspiciously.

"Of course I want to give her some advice on where to go. Your Highness, since you want to limit Buddhism, you should know where there are more Buddhist temples." Pei Jiaoran stroked the fence with his hand and raised his lips, "She and Ce Lun have the same idea as us. Chen Si Lai If you want to go, it’s best for her to go.”

The prince frowned upon hearing this, "With your plan, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let her go to Heshuo?"

"Your Highness, are you a good minister?" Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and made a sound, "Which position in Heshuo is not a good one? Besides, my new order has been completed in Heshuo, so there is no need to let anyone go. There are many Buddhist temples and wealthy families in Jiangnan. . Isn’t it better than anyone else to send a fresh face?”

Looking away from Pei Jiaoran, the prince said in an indifferent tone: "You have already submitted your resignation. How about coming to the East Palace? Gu has wanted to reuse Aiqing for a long time."

Pei Jiaoran seemed to be shocked by the prince's words. After a while, he came back to his senses and said slowly, "I just resigned from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but it does not mean that I will be demoted. Maybe I will be promoted."

"Father has become suspicious of you." The prince tilted his head to look at her, "You have to be careful."

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. How dare I disobey you? However, your highness, please remember that since King Wu won the battle in western Zhejiang, when he comes back, failure to protect him will have an impact on you." He took a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him. To the prince, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "It's not enough to personally preside over Yuan Rui's funeral. You have to do more."

"What can I do?" the prince asked.

"I am resigning as Minister of the Ministry of Finance because I have an ulterior motive. I feel that with your Majesty's plan, Jiang Ke will be promoted to the post of Zhongshu Ling in the near future. Your Highness, do you think I am qualified to be the Minister of Zhongshu?" Pei Jiaoran raised a question on his lips. He said, "If You Shen Ce wins in eastern Zhejiang, Huan Qi will kill him. I intend to serve as the Jianghuai salt and iron transport envoy, and I hope that the prince can make some plans for me. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

Having already tasted the deep meaning of her words, the prince looked at her thoughtfully.

"You have very broad plans. You don't even want to come to the East Palace, so why should I help you?" The prince looked at Pei Jiaoran and said coldly, "Does Prime Minister Pei feel that I am stupid and stupid?"

"The King of Wu has won. The prince and Jia Gonglu's party are facing each other, and it seems that there is no chance of victory. Wouldn't it be good to cooperate with the minister?"

Before the prince could respond, Pei Jiaoran had already moved away.

Pang Xiyin and Zhao Mingluan came back ahead of her. Walking along the long street to his own residence, he passed by the Li family's residence. A person jumped out from the door and looked at Pei Jiaoran in front of him respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Pei Jiaoran asked the Li family servant in front of him with a smile.

"My young master has received a letter. He asked the old slave to wait for Pei Shangshu at the door and deliver the letter to you." After that, the servant of the Li family handed over a wooden box.

Looking at the wooden box, Pei Jiaoran took it with a smile. After saying "Thank you", he raised his whip and ran towards his house.

"Girl, you still know how to come back."

Before reaching the door of the house, Bi Fei's voice could be heard in the wind.

Ignore Bi Fei's nagging voice in his ears. Pei Jiaoran got off his horse and led the horse into the house. After tying the horse in the stable and feeding it, he took an oil paper bag from the armhole and handed it over.

"Try the freshly baked Gulouzi." Pei Jiaoran said with a warm smile on his face.

After glaring at Pei Jiaoran, Bi Fei took the oil paper bag. Just as he was about to open it, he heard a chuckle coming from his ear.

"How did you do with the homework I arranged for you the past few days?" Pei Jiaoran stopped smiling and looked solemn.

"You can see that. Well, aren't you hungry, girl?" Bi Fei held her arm with a smile on her face, "I made your favorite sugar porridge today. You have worked so hard for so long, so you need to eat more. bowl."

Pei Jiaoran smiled and stopped talking. Let Bi Fei hold her arm and walk into the house. After all, Bi Fei was different from her, so she could only teach her. It is nothing more than letting Bi Fei see clearly what people's hearts are like and learn how to be wary of those around her. As for the calculation of interests in the political arena, you can calculate as much as you can understand.

Zhao Mingluan and Pang Xiyin were already waiting in the room, and they all smiled when they saw her coming in.

"I haven't had time to congratulate you two." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile as he held the wine.

"The imperial conferment documents will be issued soon. One of Xiyin and I plan to go to Gaomi, and the other plans to go to Zhengyang." Zhao Mingluan looked at her and smiled slightly, "What do you think, Pei Shangshu?"

"Gaomi, Mizhou? This is a good place. It is close to the sea and rich. It is a good place for you to show off your skills." Pei Jiaoran turned to look at Pang Xiyin, "Caizhou belongs to Huaixi, and Huaixi has only been returned to the imperial court for a year. The situation in this situation It’s unclear, so be careful.”

The two of them heard the words and said in unison: "Thank you very much, Pei Shangshu, for your suggestion."

After dinner, Pei Jiaoran remembered that she still had Li Xiujing's letter that she hadn't read. Got up and went back to the house.

Looking at the wooden box placed on the desk, Pei Jiaoran touched the engraved cursive text on the wooden box with his fingers.

"He sent me such a box of things when he was away from home. He is really leisurely." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and opened the lock with the hairpin in his hand. In addition to a few letters, there was also a bunch of wickers placed in the wooden box.

After picking up the wicker and playing with it in his hand, Pei Jiaoran slowly opened the letter. The letter did not contain the sour words she had imagined. Instead, it told her about the current situation in the army. It wasn't until the end that I added, "Qing Qing Zi Jin, my heart is full of joy."

Pei Jiaoran touched his lips lightly with his fingers.

Li Xiujing's letter would not come in vain, nor would it be specially handed to her. After reading the letter carefully again, Pei Jiaoran looked thoughtful.

According to the calculation of days, Li Xiujing had already arrived in eastern Zhejiang. The military supply institutes in various places also sent people to escort food and follow the supply logistics of the Shence Army in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If she thought correctly, someone might have tampered with the food provided by the military academy. At the moment, Li Xiujing can still control everyone, but once the war period is extended and the logistics supplies cannot keep up, it will be another situation.

She had already deciphered the hidden meaning in the letter. The only person left in charge of the Shence Army was Cao Wenzhong in Chang'an. The purpose of Li Xiujing's letter was to use her hand to severely damage Zuo Shence.

"Plot against me?" Pei Jiaoran inserted the wicker stick into the porcelain vase beside him and replaced the withered plum in the vase. He stroked the willow branch still wet with dew with his fingertips and said, "I'll ask him to get it back next time."

Pei Jiaoran reached out to lift the lid of the jade incense burner and put the letter in his hand. She raised her lips as she watched the fire snake gradually swallow up the writing on the letter.

Yuan Yanchong is coming back soon. This was considered a meeting gift from her to him. She can't be with Zhang Rang yet, it's too obvious to be against him. After all, Emperor Wei now trusted Zhang Rang very much, and it would do her no good to confront him too hastily.

Swept by the tongues of fire, all the letters turned into powder. Pei Jiaoran's eyes fell into obscurity and darkness.
