"Oh? In that case, how did you find out that the dose of Gastrodia elata was too high?" Pei Jiaoran stared at Sun Shaofeng with a calm tone.

Although it was said that she arranged for Sun Shaofeng to enter, the medicine the emperor took was always a secret in the palace. Not to mention that only Feng Yu from Shang Yao Bureau can see the pulse, and the residue of the medicine he took will not be known to others.

But now that Sun Shaofeng can still see it, it really makes people doubt whether there is someone deliberately planning it behind the scenes.

"When no one was paying attention, I secretly ran to the sink where the medicine residue was poured." Sun Shaofeng lowered his head and knelt down with his clothes. "I picked up the remaining medicine residue and looked at it."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran glanced at her, "Are you sure no one saw you at that time?"

"I...don't dare to confirm." Sun Shaofeng said.

At this time, Sun Shaofeng's voice was particularly soft, as if he felt that he had done something wrong. After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran closed his eyes and sighed slightly, then reached out to help her stand up.

"Keep everything you saw and said today in your heart, and don't tell anyone else." Pei Jiaoran's eyes darkened, "The palace is deep, and your companion is like a tiger. Nothing in the palace is worthy of your suspicion and prying eyes. I rescued you because I thought you were brave, rather than asking you to take risks. You know people from Wugong County in the palace."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Shaofeng said: "I can go and inquire. Mr. Pei, just give me your orders."

"Inquire about what the local wealthy Su family has done, and spread the word about their evil deeds." Pei Jiaoran spoke softly.

"Understood. Don't worry, I will go and inquire about this for you right away." Sun Shaofeng gathered his clothes and bowed, "My husband is busy with official duties, so I will leave."

Watching Sun Shaofeng leave, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly.

In order to clear his father's name, Sun Shaofeng took his mother all the way from Huzhou to Yangzhou. In addition to courage, alertness is naturally indispensable. When we first met that day, she didn't show any fear towards him, and she answered questions fluently, which was really impressive.

But now that she is a female official in the palace, her agility alone is not enough to support her in doing better. She must also learn to be cautious in her words and deeds. And it's not that I don't trust her, it's because a person in a high position should be vigilant.

Counting the time, Sun Shaofeng had already left. Pei Jiaoran then came down from the tower in a leisurely manner and inspected the public housing in other provinces before returning to his own public housing.

As soon as he sat down, the young minister of Honglu Temple walked in with an eager look on his face. Beside him was a helpless servant.

Waving his hand to signal the servants to retreat, Pei Jiaoran said, "What happened to Guo Shaoqing?"

"Ranqian caused trouble in the Sifang Pavilion again. It must be that we are deliberately playing tricks on him. We are raising our eyes to write a letter to Tubo and report the situation." Guo Shaoqing said urgently.

"Why are we playing with him? The fact that the two countries can form a good alliance with Qin and Jin is a good thing in the history books. But in the end, everything still depends on God's will. If God's will does not allow it, it cannot go against God's will." Pei Jiaoran poured a cup. The tea was handed to Guo Shaoqing.

When she said this, she still had a calm face, calmly flipping through the documents on the case, and while reviewing them, she said: "Their Khan's envoy is already on the way. He threatened to revise the book at this time, most likely to force us to agree. Do they really think that others don’t know about their wolfish ambitions?”

Guo Shaoqing said: "My dear sir. I have calculated it with Feng Qing, and it turns out that this is probably what Tubo has planned. It only disturbs the situation from time to time on weekdays, but now it actually wants to marry our princess. Your Majesty, he has also sent people these days. Come and urge me to go to Honglu Temple to help you complete this matter."

Since the Han Dynasty, it has not been uncommon for dynasties in the Central Plains to make peace with foreign races. Even though these women are crowned in history books. They sacrifice their own honor for the righteousness of their family and country, but only they themselves know the misery of each situation. The sounds of my hometown have become a dream, and when I look back, there is no trace of where I came from. And the peace and tranquility on the border created by their sacrifices often only last for a moment. When the flames of war are still reignited, they will also be killed to sacrifice the flag.

In accordance with the principles of heaven and justice, there are still courtiers, and the prince accepts the worship of the people. These people should be above the wind and waves. But after making various considerations, the emperor still decided to sacrifice them. Use the halo of being recorded in history books to push them to foreign lands. This will bring temporary peace to the border and give the country a chance to recuperate.

From a certain perspective, this is an injustice, and it is also caused by helplessness under the general trend. Fortunately, His Majesty has no daughter of the right age and is very disgusted with Tubo, so he will not agree to Tubo's request. This also gave Pei Jiaoran the opportunity to intervene, so that she could make a plan to save those innocent women from leaving their hometowns to get married.

Although Pei Jiaoran himself was motivated by the favor of Emperor Wei, he had to bear the costs and many consequences of doing so. The other party is determined to marry the princess of the Celestial Dynasty. If the marriage proposal is unsuccessful, he will find an excuse to cause trouble in the future. However, Pei Jiaoran herself did not believe that Tubo would give up. The impact behind this incident was her main purpose.

"Okay. I'll go to the Sifang Pavilion to see him in person." Pei Jiaoran put down his pen and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Guo Shaoqing nodded.

The two places were very close to each other, and soon they arrived at the corridor of Sifang Pavilion.

He glanced at the servant at the door and ran inside as soon as he saw the two people coming in.

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, "Guo Shaoqing, what do you mean?"

Guo Shaoqing was stunned when he heard the question and was thinking about how to answer. Pei Jiaoran had already walked in, so he had no choice but to follow.

The courtyard of the feudal guest office was in a mess, and the servant who had just reported the news was sweeping horse manure with a broom. There were still many people standing in front of the house on one side. As soon as they saw her, they all came up to salute.

"Mr. Pei, you're finally here." Rangan's angry voice came from the side.

Looking for the voice, he saw Ranqian looking at him with a fierce look on his face. Pei Jiaoran looked innocent and said with a smile: "But someone in the building did not treat him well, so the little Khan is so angry."

Wenwen Ranqian sighed softly, strode to the house where many people were standing, and pushed open the servant at the door. He raised his foot and kicked the felt blanket on the ground, revealing all the copper coins, gold, silver and jade ornaments.

"Mr. Pei, these servants not only failed to clean the courtyard, but also openly gathered people to do it. I heard that you are in charge of this Sifang Pavilion. Is this how you treat guests?" Rangan scolded.

Seeing Ranqian's aggressive look, Pei Jiaoran's smile deepened, "It is true that these people did something wrong in this matter. But before understanding the matter, Shu cannot deal with them at will. Go and call Tongshiren."

The officials from other provinces who came with Zhongshu were ordered to leave.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran walked to the door of the room where the servants were gambling on the cattails and stood there, "How many times do you gamble on the cattails on weekdays?"

"Reply to Mr. Pei. You guys, we only gamble three times on weekdays. Today..." the servant who was pushed out explained in a low voice.
