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

Pei Jiaoran got up early and copied a few key points of the letter sent by Cui Boyu yesterday. He put it in the letter paper and sealed it with wax.

She went out to the courtyard she rented for Sun Shaofeng's mother. The house was not far from hers, just across two alleys.

Crossing the alley, I saw a woman with her hair in a bun drawing water from a well not far away.

Seeing the woman tremblingly carrying a bucket full of water towards the yard not far away, Pei Jiaoran walked over, reached out to stop the woman, took the bucket from her hand, and continued walking forward.

"Mrs. Pei, why are you here? Oh, I can carry it myself." The woman hurriedly tried to grab the bucket from Pei Jiaoran's hand.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake." Pei Jiaoran smiled and walked through the courtyard gate, walking to the kitchen with ease and pouring water into the water tank.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran asked in surprise, "Aunt Zhao, why don't I see any maidservants?"

"Oh, it's too expensive." Aunt Zhao wiped her hands on her clothes, looking ashamed. "Shaofeng's salary is just that little. If you want to live a good life in the palace, you have to make some money. If she uses her money to hire a maid to take care of me, what will she do? Anyway, I am much better now, and I can help people wash clothes and sew things to earn some money to support myself." Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "It's also fortunate that Shaofeng met a kind person like you who is willing to rent out the house at a low price."

Pei Jiaoran smiled and relaxed his brows when he heard this. When he helped Sun Shaofeng enter the palace, he rented this house in Chongyifang for the mother and daughter. In a place like Chongyifang, even if the house is small, it is still a lot of money. But being in the same place, he can also keep an eye on his mother and use her as a threat.

However, in order to prevent her mother from worrying about her, Sun Shaofeng and herself made an agreement that she must not tell her mother. She rented this house with her own money. So for Aunt Zhao, she was able to live in this house because she was kind-hearted.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran smiled. He took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "Aunt Zhao, I heard that today is the day that palace maids are allowed to reunite with their families. Please pass this letter to Shaofeng."

"Yes, I can see her today. Madam Pei, don't worry, I will hand her over to Shao Feng." Aunt Zhao said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you." I will ask another maid to come back to take care of you tomorrow. This house is lonely living alone, it will be more lively with one more person." Pei Jiaoran said softly.

After leaving the courtyard, Pei Jiaoran heaved a sigh of relief. Although it was not her style to have such a secret matter handled by others, she actually encountered a spy in her own territory yesterday. She could not guarantee that the other party would do it again. If he saw that she was involved with Sun Shaofeng, this move would be a waste.

After all, Sun Shaofeng was just a female official. It would be easy to kill her. So it would be better to let her mother give the letter to her.

When he returned to his house, he saw Li Xiujing, shirtless, practicing spearmanship in the yard. The spear was like a swimming dragon, shining with cold light.

"Tsk."

Pei Jiaoran smiled and clapped his hands, "Erlang is great. He has so much leisure time so early in the morning. It looks like..."

"I want to emulate the ancient sages who rose to dance at the sound of cock-crows." Li Xiujing put away his gun and put it back on the weapon rack beside him. He took a cloth to wipe the sweat off his body and asked, "Why did you go out so early in the morning?"

"Imitate the ancients? After the Yongjia Rebellion, Liu Yueshi defended Jinyang for decades for the Jin Dynasty and resisted the Former Zhao. He was later appointed Sikong and commander-in-chief of the military affairs of Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou. Soon Bingzhou fell, and he defected to Duan Pidi, the governor of Youzhou, and became brothers with him. Later, he stationed his troops in a small city in Zhengbei. Three years later, he was killed by Duan Pidi along with his son and nephew. As for Zu Shizhi... The Eastern Jin Dynasty was in a corner, and he wanted to march north. However, Wang Dun and Sima Rui were fighting each other in the court at that time, and he was unable to provide money and food. In the end, he died with hatred. Are you sure you want to imitate them, my dear?" Pei Jiaoran raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, Li Xiujing paused and fixed his eyes on her.

After a long silence, Li Xiujing smiled and said, "They don't have a Prime Minister Pei who can dominate the court, but I do."

"Yes, you are different. You have me." Pei Jiaoran's brows relaxed, "Erlang and I can both achieve our wishes."

After breakfast, the two went to the Suzaku Gate. After entering the Suzaku Gate, Pei Jiaoran went straight to the Taiji Hall.

At the court meeting, the eunuch read out the Emperor of Wei's order. The King of Wu will choose an auspicious day to move out of the palace and set up his residence.

Pei Jiaoran glanced up at the King of Wu, who had a strange look on his face. Thinking flashed through his eyes. It was definitely not a good thing for the King of Wu to move out of the palace. After all, once he left the palace, it would not be so easy to return to the palace. The regulations alone would be much stricter.

"Yes." The King of Wu bowed his head and knelt down to accept the order.

The court meeting had come to an end. The Emperor of Wei raised his hand to rub his forehead and waved his hand impatiently. The eunuch beside him understood and hurriedly announced "dismissal of court".

Following Cen Xi out of the court, the two walked towards the Menxia Province.

Walking up the corridor, Cen Xi looked around, "Mr. Pei, the sunset is very beautiful these days. The glazed tower in the Zhaofu Temple in Chongyifang is a good place to view the scenery. You can go there to see it at noon and early evening."

"Oh? I live in Chongyifang, but I haven't been to the tower to enjoy the view for such a long time. I will go and see it today." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smiled.

As they were talking, the Ministry of Personnel was already in sight. Pei Jiaoran looked up at the plaque at the door.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu is leaving the palace to set up his own government this time. This is not a good thing for Jia Gonglu and his party." Pei Jiaoran sighed.

"The King of Wu has reached adulthood, and was previously allowed to live in the palace by Your Majesty's special favor. But you have also seen how the King of Wu has behaved over the years. If he does not leave the palace again, there may be people who will covet the position of the crown prince." Cen Xi glanced at Pei Jiaoran, "Now that the King of Wu has left the palace, he is warning all the ministers, and is also reminding the King of Wu and his party not to have unreasonable expectations."

"But the King of Wu has already established his power, and now he is being ordered to leave the palace and set up his own government. Even if it is for protection, there are already too many people following the King of Wu." Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I am worried that if I push the King of Wu too far, he will do something disrespectful."

The unintentional favoritism and indulgence of the King of Wu by the Emperor of Wei gave the King of Wu the opportunity to interact with the court officials. He also tacitly allowed Jia Gonglu to teach the King of Wu, allowing him to win over a large number of knowledgeable people from humble backgrounds for the King of Wu.

"Prince Pei, please be careful with your words." Cen Xi suppressed his smile, "The Crown Prince and the King of Wu are brothers after all. Your Majesty would hate to hear such things."

"Mr. Cen is right. But it is a big deal for the King of Wu to leave the palace and set up a government office. We still need to keep a close eye on it." Pei Jiaoran smiled. "The Secretariat and other provinces still have important matters to deal with. I will take my leave first."
