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

When Pei Jiaoran was found innocent, evidence about Dugu Chen's crimes and conjectures about the plotter behind him appeared in the current situation. The tone of the memorials submitted to Taiwan Province and Yushitai was quite single. It was Zhang Rang who pointed out all of this.

However, in the face of the outraged memorial, Emperor Wei did not show any credulity. Not only did they reject all memorials, but they also ordered the third division to strictly review the case. Make your attitude clear in court and never listen to anyone's words. However, he turned around and ordered Hexi Jiedu to stay behind and act on behalf of the Jiedushi envoy temporarily, and ordered Zhang Rang to go home temporarily to rest and prepare a speech for the reference of the three divisions. At the same time, the Jinwu Guards were ordered to station in front of Zhang Rang's residence outside the palace to prevent him from being attacked by angry scholars.

Emperor Wei's approach seemed to be to protect Zhang Rang, but in fact it was to put him in a cage called power. Completely cutting off Zhang Rang's contact with the outside world.

Seeing that the outside of the mansion was heavily surrounded by Jinwu guards, there were even Jinwu guards patrolling inside the house. The beautiful concubines and fake children who were raised in the mansion were also driven to other places and imprisoned. Zhang Rang knew that he was deeply trapped in it, and he was the only one who could save him. It was Jia Gonglu who gave him the idea to lower his head and lie dormant for the time being. But do you really want to give up the power you have controlled for many years? Will Pei Jiaoran give him a chance?

He was ruthless in Haozhou but failed to get rid of her, and he was unable to get rid of her in Luoyang. Instead, she grabbed the handle and stood in the open, staring at him coldly.

"Your Majesty, what did he say?" Zhang Rang met Sun Shu, the Minister of Justice, who came for interrogation in the slightly decayed hall.

Sun Shudao: "Except for the joint trial of the three departments in this case, His Majesty will decide the outcome. Before that, Zhang Jujuan can defend himself to prove his innocence. There is another thing. Jia Gong said not to make any futile struggle. Giving up appropriately may not necessarily lead to success. harm."

"Did he mean this?" Zhang Rang took a deep breath and asked.

"Yes. So if you have anything you want to say, feel free to say it. It may help you escape the crime." Sun Shu said with a smile on his face, "Only by saving your life can you have a chance to turn the tables."

Sun Shu stayed at Zhang Rang's residence until noon before returning to the government office. Without stopping, Zhang Rang's speech was sent to the political hall.

After reading the speech brought by Sun Shu, Jia Gonglu sighed slightly, "It seems that Zhang Jujuan can't escape the blame."

"The political laws of this dynasty are clear and clear. If Zhang Jujuan is not too deeply involved in the situation and remembers his past friendship, life will not be too difficult." Cen Xi said calmly.

Jia Gonglu looked at Cen Xi and said, "Since Zhang Jujuan has made his statement, should we ask the Third Division to sort out the testimonies of other people as soon as possible and submit them to Your Majesty as well? Please consider it."

"It's time to urge them. The case has come to an end, there is no need to delay it any longer." Cen Xi said.

Zhongshu on the side made Su Jinghui hesitate to speak.

After leaving the political hall, Su Jinghui saw no one around. He lowered his voice and said, "Cen Gong, why don't we continue the trial? If we continue the trial, the more evidence we have, the better we can bring down Zhang Rang and Jia Gonglu. Cen Gong, we can't stop like this."

Looking at his former subordinates, Cen Xi showed no blame on his face. Instead, he said earnestly and sincerely: "Enough is enough at this level, Your Majesty will not continue. Remember that the more involved, the less the beneficiary will get."

When Su Jinghui heard this, he felt like his whole body was filled with ice. Then he reacted, "I understand. I can't continue to investigate..."

On the day Dugu Chen was convicted, it started to rain in Chang'an. Pattering raindrops dripped down the eaves. In the dim Yushi Prison, dim candlelight came from a distance.

The jailer opened the cell door politely and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Pei."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and nodded. She just stepped out of the prison door as she followed the jailer out of the Yushi Prison. A green crow flew down from the treetops, landed on her shoulder and kept calling.

The imperial attendant at the door frowned upon seeing this. Qingwu has always been a symbol of unlucky, but now it falls on the shoulders of Pei Jiaoran, who has just been released from prison. It is really not a good thing.

Just as the two were about to order people to drive away Qingwu. Pei Jiaoran waved his hand and tilted his head to tease Qingwu. The spring sun fell on her fair face, and the green of the pine trees reflected in the courtyard.

Pei Jiaoran walked towards the verandah, letting Qingwu show off his power on his shoulders. Just at this time, there were footsteps, accompanied by human voices. Hearing this voice, Pei Jiaoran stopped and stared at the corner with cold eyes. Then the coldness in his eyes disappeared and he looked forward with a gentle expression on his face and a smile on his lips.

Not long after, a group of Jinwu guards came over escorting Dugu Chen. Today, his hair is disheveled and his clothes are in tatters. He lowered his head, not looking as high-spirited as before.

"Mr. Pei." The leading Jinwu Guard bowed his hands and saluted.

"General Wang Lang." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Dugu Chen who was being escorted and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing her voice, Jia Gonglu suddenly raised his head. He stared at Pei Jiaoran in front of him coldly.

"Dugujie is handsome." Pei Jiaoran grinned.

Dugu Chen squeaked coldly: "Bitch..." Before the word "bitch" came out of his mouth, the horizontal knife fell on his neck. He forcefully suppressed the next words.

"In the past, when Dugu Jieshuai humiliated someone with Lu Ji, I once told Jieshuai about Liu Daozhen. Unfortunately, although Liu Daozhen became a river tracker, at least he saved his life. And Jieshuai, you..."

The words stopped suddenly, and Pei Jiaoran sheathed the sword. Return it to Wang Langjiang. He glanced at Dugu Chen sarcastically and walked away.

For enemies who have become losers, there is no need for too many verbal contests. Any more words she says will show that her political level is low.

After being imprisoned for nearly a month, although no one gave her any trouble, it was still hard to see her like this. After freshening up at the Yushitai, Pei Jiaoran just left.

The road is still wide and there is plenty of sunshine overhead.

Pei Jiaoran walked leisurely on the road. Wei Di specifically allowed her to go back and rest for one day, and then return to the Zhongshu Yamen Office tomorrow.

Lu Zheng rode up to her side and said with a smile: "Second Lady, you have figured it out. I have prepared a banquet at Yujin Tower to calm your nerves. Are you willing to come?"

"Thank you, General Lu. I'm afraid I don't have time." Pei Jiaoran shook his head, "I have been in prison for such a long time, and there is a large family waiting for me to comfort you. Farewell."

Before Lu Zheng could respond, Pei Jiaoran had already left. Only a decisive figure was left for him. He tightly grabbed the reins in his hands and wanted to catch up, but hesitated.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind him. When he turned around, he saw a man in purple robe galloping past on horseback. He seemed to be aware of his gaze and turned back to smile at him.

That purple robe was none other than Li Xiujing. He rode his horse to Pei Jiaoran's side and slowed down his speed. The two people didn't know what they said.

Pei Jiaoran laughed. The laughter fell into Lu Zheng's ears with the wind. Lu Zheng only felt as if someone had slapped him hard on the chest.

When he came to his senses, the two of them had disappeared.
