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

After the strong wind and rain cleared, Pei Jiaoran lay lazily on the couch, casually resting his legs on Li Xiujing's body and swaying gently. She acted very comfortable, as if she was full.

After looking at Pei Jiaoran for a while, Li Xiujing got up and went out. Fetched water in the yard and came back. Putting it aside, he wrung the hand towel, held Pei Jiaoran's ankles, lowered his head and cleaned the soles of her feet.

Seeing Li Xiujing's serious and focused expression, which seemed to place her in an extremely important position, Pei Jiaoran thought in his eyes.

"What are you doing dancing with your sword barefoot? Do you have something on your mind?"

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran chuckled, "Jia Gonglu saw me talking to General Chen before, and he said that I have a lot of friends. I can't compare to his disciples and old officials, who are all over the world. But, this is something worth being vigilant about. ”

Once you have been in the government for a long time, you will easily judge others by yourself, especially those who are like you. A group of old foxes get together, and no one knows who is who.

Throwing the handkerchief into the water, he raised his eyes and looked at Pei Jiaoran, "He is indeed slightly better than you in terms of personnel."

This was not his intention to elevate Jia Gonglu, but it was just the fact. Like Jia Gonglu, the human relations behind officials at this level are often unfathomable. No one knows how many people he has benefited from.

After seeing the murderous intent hidden in Pei Jiaoran's words, Li Xiujing smiled and said, "Are you going to do something?"

Pei Jiaoran was not annoyed at all when Li Xiujing guessed what he was thinking. Instead, he reached out and put a finger on his lips.

"It's time. I need to go to a higher place to fulfill my promise to them." Pei Jiaoran said warmly.

She can't stay in the same position forever, because people who have an interest in her will look for someone to cooperate with again. When benefits can no longer be distributed, the only way to continue integrating resources is to go further. And she was already at the top of her game. If she couldn't get to the next level, she would have no choice but to be at the mercy of others.

The meaning of Pei Jiaoran's words became clear almost instantly. Li Xiujing gently held her hand, his eyes burning. After briefly looking at each other, he had an illusion. It seemed as if from this moment on, a thick fog quietly filled the air between the two of them, and she became out of reach. He could only reach out and hook the corner of her sleeve.

Catching the hesitation flashing in Li Xiujing's eyes, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Go to sleep. Maybe everything you and I ask for in our dreams will be granted."

After a brief cleaning, the two lay down side by side.

The summer night was filled with the hum of insects, but Pei Jiaoran fell asleep in a short while. Taking a deep breath, Li Xiujing quietly came over and put his arms around her waist.

As Pei Jiaoran said, you get what you want in your dream. This was a rare good dream, and it was rare for him to sleep deeply. In the dream, the stars and rivers were reflected on the water surface, like Pei Jiaoran's ink-stained hair, lingering around his limbs, spreading across his body, and pulling him into a cold pool of autumn water. The coolness soaked into his clothes. The moment he completely fell into the water, he saw her figure on the water.

She lowered her head and watched him fall into darkness quietly, with mixed emotions in her eyes. He reached out to grab her, but found that he could only hook a corner of her sleeve. She raised her lips and smiled softly, then opened her red lips and uttered a few words. Then he cut off the sleeve in his hand and turned around to leave without looking back.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran disappear under the thick fog, Li Xiujing struggled hard, but only felt a pain on his face. Suddenly he woke up.

Li Xiujing opened his eyes and saw Pei Jiaoran sitting aside and looking at him. He raised his hand and touched his face, only to feel a burning pain on his face. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and even his back was dripping with sweat. Pei Jiaoran just looked at him with a smile on his face and said innocently, "You were trapped just now. In desperation, I slapped you."

It was already dawn and the gauze curtains were floating. The skylight happened to fall on Pei Jiaoran's face, and her whole body was caught in the half-bright light and shadow.

Covering the emotion in her eyes, Li Xiujing said: "I just had a sweet dream, but you woke me up. How do you plan to compensate?"

"Lying." Pei Jiaoran said while retying the loose belt, "If it was really a beautiful dream, how could you be trapped in the nightmare? But, everything in the dream is false, don't believe it."

After speaking, Pei Jiaoran stepped over Li Xiujing, took the clothes from the clothes rail and put them on. The girdle was wrapped around her waist, and her movements were reflected on the curtains by the skylight.

"I can't believe it. Let's go to court together." Li Xiujing said.

She and Li Xiujing still parted in front of Zhuque Gate. The two belong to different families. As a core member of the political hall, she attends court meetings almost every day.

As soon as the sky breaks in summer, the heat spreads quietly. There is nothing important today, so the meeting will end quickly. The courtiers gathered in the corridor to eat, and a group of imperial censors patrolled back and forth, staring at everyone. Anyone who eats something indecent will be caught and impeached.

"Xiangong Pei, I heard that the Tibetan envoys are coming to Chang'an soon. How are you prepared?" Jia Gonglu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran slowly swallowed the cake in his mouth and said softly, "Everything depends on God's will. Mr. Jia, you don't have to worry."

"What if God's will plays tricks on people? We still have to make sure plans." Jia Gonglu stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"How can we go against God's will?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at the imperial censor who was about to come over, and smiled slightly, "Zhongshu has some matters to deal with in other provinces. I'll take my leave first."

The answer to Rangan was already a foregone conclusion, just waiting for him to deliver the so-called Geng Tie. However, we cannot take it lightly. If other situations are caused due to carelessness, the gain will outweigh the loss.

"Mr. Pei."

When Pei Jiaoran arrived at Zhongshu, he was greeted by Sun Shaofeng in the corridor. Sun Shaofeng hurriedly came up to him and saluted Pei Jiaoran. When he was about to speak, she stopped him.

"Change a place, it's not a good place to talk." Pei Jiaoran waved to Sun Shaofeng to follow him.

The two of them walked up to the tower.

After making sure that no one could see what was going on in the building, Pei Jiaoran said, "Tell me what you want to do with me."

Originally, she and Sun Shaofeng had agreed not to meet in private unless she was looking for her. She originally planned to go to see Sun Shaofeng, but she didn't expect that she came on her own initiative.

"Your Majesty, you have frequently summoned Zhang Fengyu in recent days. This slave is well versed in medical science. Yesterday, when he and Zhou Shanggong went to Shang Yao Bureau, they accidentally saw something strange in the medicine residue brewed by the chief pharmacist."

"Is there any difference?" Pei Jiaoran raised his hand to signal Sun Shaofeng to continue.

"That medicine is Banxia Atractylodes and Tianma Decoction. Although the medicinal properties of Gastrodia are not drying, it is wind medicine after all. The pharmacopoeia says that if the patient is not suffering from blood deficiency and windlessness, but also has a burning headache, dry mouth and constipation, it should not be used indiscriminately. It is necessary. If you take Gastrodia elata for a long time, it is easy to produce red pills." Sun Shaofeng lowered his voice, "But in your Majesty's case, the dose of Gastrodia elata seems to be too much."
