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

The rest is over and the wind and rain are about to come. The spring light falls over Tai Chi Palace, and the spring scenery is just right at this time. Thin mist floated in the air, and the morning light shrouded the tall Suzaku Gate. The heavy palace door slowly opened, and Jinwu guards in golden armor filed out of the door.

Pei Jiaoran rode a horse from Zhuque Street, and the warm spring sun melted the mist and sprinkled on him. Her face is like Chengjiang Jinglian, boundless with things. Only the vermilion in the corners of her eyes was shining, adding a bit of coquettishness under the gradually revealing spring sun. And the deep purple robe she wore was as deep and full of ambition as her eyes. Even if the beauty is here, you will be impressed by the inferiority.

Jia Gonglu, who was walking with others, heard the sound of horse hooves. Stop and look back.

"I've met Mr. Jia." Pei Jiaoran dismounted and saluted with his hands in his hands. The eyelids were slightly lowered, covering the hidden edge.

With a short beard and a white face, Jia Gonglu had a deep smile on his face. He stopped Dugu Chen who was next to him and wanted to speak. Looking directly at Pei Jiaoran, his eyes moved to her hands. The crossed fingers are as bright as jade, and the attitude shown is also very humble, making it impossible to be picky. He suddenly raised his lips and smiled.

"Mr. Pei, you still remember Dugujieshuai. You were also the county magistrate under him in the past." Jia Gonglu said with a smile.

Seeing Jia Gonglu mentioning Dugu Chen, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Commander Jie going to be promoted?"

"I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would go from being an unworthy person to becoming a minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. You have paid a lot of attention, right?" Dugu Chen looked at Pei Jiaoran wantonly and sneered: "I don't know who allowed you to act so wantonly."

Pei Jiaoran didn't take Dugu Chen's sarcasm seriously at all, and still said warmly: "Only because of the emperor's great kindness, a certain person can be where he is today."

Looking at her sideways, Dugu Chen was cold.

As soon as the words fell, the bell rang. All the ministers stood in line according to their rank, waiting for the guards to check their registration before entering the palace.

After being able to enter the Zhuque Gate, Pei Jiaoran walked leisurely on both sides of the road. Chat with the officials next to you from time to time. As the government offices of various departments approached, the officials accompanying them also said goodbye one after another and went to the government offices.

By the time we reached Chengtianmen, there were not many officials accompanying us. Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Jia Gonglu with a half-smile, his lips raised slightly. After Jinwu Guards searched him, everyone filed in.

The tall and majestic Tai Chi Hall stands on the jade steps, quietly overlooking everyone who comes. Looking up at the Tai Chi Palace bathed in the spring sun, Pei Jiaoran's smile deepened.

Climbing up the steps calmly, the vermilion palace door opens. Everyone slowed their pace and crossed the threshold, finding their own seats according to rank. Everyone in the house is dressed in purple.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran nodded towards Wulingjia. Her crimson lips opened slightly, and she silently uttered the word "peace of mind".

The Wei Emperor, dressed in a yellow robe, came out from the left wing. All the officials gathered their clothes and bowed to the mountain and shouted long live.

Today is the Chang Dynasty. In addition to civil servants of fifth rank or above, all enshrined officials from the three provinces are included in this list.

Emperor Wei on the throne glanced at Dugu Chen, "Dugu Aiqing, I heard that you have something to report?"

"My minister, Dugu Chen, reported that Pei Jiaoran, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, used the pretext of upholding integrity to kill court officials indiscriminately when he was the magistrate of Jinchang County." Dugu Chen said coldly.

The target was pointed directly at Pei Jiaoran. The eyes of all the officials in the palace fell on her.

"Oh? Why haven't I seen you complain before?" Emperor Wei looked at Dugu Chen sharply, "You are going to complain now, do you have evidence?"

"When I come to Chang'an this time, I will bring the witnesses with me. They are currently placed in the post house." Duguchen said and bowed, "I sincerely request your majesty to investigate this matter strictly. To redress the injustice of the deceased."

"Your Majesty often slanders people. As a woman, it is not easy for me to be an official. I have not been in charge of Zhongshu for a long time. If I am accused of killing my colleagues without reason, I am afraid that it will be of no benefit to the country. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that the world will mislead Your Majesty. I don't know who I am. I am willing to accept the investigation of Yushitai to prove my innocence." Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and knelt down and said solemnly.

There was clearly something in her words. It seemed that she was considering it from His Majesty's point of view, but in fact every word was an accusation, making people feel that she had been wronged. Hasn't he been in charge of Zhongshu for a long time? If she didn't have some means, she could turn Chang'an upside down. He can also make concessions quietly.

When Jia Gonglu heard this, he only thought it was funny. Looking at Pei Jiaoran, he said coldly, "Why did Mr. Pei say this? If you are really innocent, His Majesty will give you justice. Why does Mr. Pei have to put on pretense and embarrass His Majesty?"

Listening to Jia Gonglu's strange words, Pei Jiaoran untied the goldfish bag from his waist and held it above his head, "Your Majesty is willing to enter the censor's stage and accept the promotion."

"In that case, let the Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment handle the case together." Emperor Wei said calmly.

"The minister obeys the order."

Before the court meeting ended, Pei Jiaoran followed Jin Wuwei and left. Go to Yushi Prison.

The Jinwu guards responsible for escorting her were very polite all the way. Even when explaining to the Shi Yushi on duty, he did not forget to tell the other party not to use torture. After all, she was only accused and still has an official status.

Compared with other prisons, the environment of Yushi Prison is much better. It's just that it's extremely cold in spring.

In the push room, wisps of sunlight shine on the wall through the window frame. Pei Jiaoran sat cross-legged on a pile of hay, with a pile of books on the small table next to him.

These are all small rewards she obtained by using the power in her hands and the favors she had given her in the past.

Pei Jiaoran rested his chin on his hand and turned the pages of the book with his fingertips. She looked calm and relaxed, as if she was not in prison at this moment, but in her own study.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was opened.

Looking over at the sound, I saw Lu Zheng standing at the door. Concerned eyes.

"General Lu, why are you here?" Pei Jiaoran smiled warmly.

After hearing this, Lu Zheng entered and put down the food box. He looked around and said, "I've heard all about Tai Chi Hall. What's going on?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, His Majesty has sent the censor to investigate the matter. They can't do anything without conclusive evidence." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile on his lips, "General Lu, you shouldn't be here. Please go back. "

"Two...Mr. Pei, take care." Lu Zheng turned around and left quickly.

Not long after Lu Zheng left, footsteps sounded at the door again.

Looking up, he saw Li Xiujing, who was still in armor, standing at the door with Yuan Yanchong who looked reluctant.

"Be careful if he impeaches you tomorrow and abuses force to coerce the censor." Pei Jiaoran opened the food box that Lu Zheng had given him earlier and took out a piece of flower cake from the inside. Take small bites and chew.

"Thank you Yuan Yushi." After saying this, Li Xiujing turned around and pushed Yuan Yanchong out.

Yuan Yan glanced at the two of them and said, "It only takes a stick of incense. If you two have anything to say, please tell me quickly."

The door was slammed shut.

Seeing Li Xiujing staring straight at him, Pei Jiaoran lazily lay down on the hay and said, "Don't look at me like that. It's the best way for me to go to Yushi Prison. Otherwise, I will be thrown into Shence Prison, right?" It doesn’t do me any good.”

Knowing that what Pei Jiaoran said was true, Li Xiujing sat down next to her, his eyes still falling on her.

"It's just the result of your discussion. Or is it your own idea?" Li Xiujing leaned over and sighed, "Jiajia, I'm worried that they will abandon you like worn out shoes."

"Then let's see if they have that ability. Don't forget that I am extraordinary now." Pei Jiaoran arched his eyebrows, "Just rest at home and wait for me to come back. In addition, you have to be careful not to let Dugu Chen take advantage of me." You get involved easily."

She killed Zhao Zhen that day because she wanted to conceal Li Xiujing's departure from the city and destroy the Tubo transportation line. Now that Jia Gonglu and the others have uncovered this matter, they may have forgotten the reason.

The word "home" came to his ears, and the smile in Li Xiujing's eyes gradually deepened. He lowered his head and kissed Pei Jiaoran on the lips, "I will wait for you to come back. Please also take good care of yourself."

She nodded upon hearing this.
