It even killed several people!" Zhang Jian finally said, "I don't think it's a pity, it's just right to bury the late queen alive."

This person didn't think much about whether he was being used as a prey.

The blood of the late queen was supposed to calm the farce, but soon after, a new rumor spread among the people that the fourth prince, Wei Shao, was not the blood of the Emperor of Wei, but the blood of the late emperor.

After all, the late queen was the queen of the late emperor before she became the queen of the Wei emperor.

The rumor that the fourth prince was the late emperor's posthumous child was spread far and wide...

Three people make a tiger, let alone so many people saying it, no matter it is true or false,

In short, the seeds of doubt were planted in the heart of Emperor Wei, and gradually the father-son relationship between Emperor Wei and the Fourth Prince became indifferent, until the Fourth Prince Wei Shao asked to go to the border.

You also know what happened afterwards." Zhang Jian said.

Hearing this, Pei Huaizhi remained silent for a long time. No one knew why.

He felt as if something had pierced his deepest heart.

Especially when Zhang Jian said that when the late queen jumped down from the city wall, the vague and unclear pain seemed to have found a way out.

Why does he feel sad?

"Shaoqing, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?" Zhang Jian noticed that something was wrong with Pei Huaizhi and asked worriedly.

Pei Huaizhi's eyes seemed to be covered by bright red blood. He closed his eyes, trying to make the blood mist disappear.

When I opened my eyes again, the blood mist had dissipated.

This never happens today.

Zhang Jian saw Pei Huaizhi returning to normal, "You haven't had enough rest recently... This body is the source of everything. As a doctor, you should know more about it than I do."

Pei Huaizhi frowned slightly. He knew his own body well, and there was definitely nothing wrong with him.

"I want to live because of the rumors about the Fourth Prince. Even if the rumors are not true, His Majesty will definitely not pass the throne to the Fourth Prince..."

"For the sake of our country, what we, as subjects, should do is to protect our wise ruler, even if it means death!"

"good! "

After they finished speaking, they both saw determination in each other's eyes.

Zhang Jian: "Although the emperor is wary of you, he still trusts you in the eyes of the whole court. In the eyes of the emperor, you have made great contributions to replenishing the treasury this year.

But he attracted the attention of the princes and grandchildren. Although the only capable person in the direct line of the saint was Prince Yi, excluding the fourth prince, he was not favored.

There are many nephews in this branch of the emperor's family. It is not ruled out that they have no intention of competing for the throne. After all, who doesn't want the supreme position?

They are definitely trying to win you over, but His Majesty is being cautious right now, and he certainly hopes that you are just a loyal subject to him and don’t get involved.”

"Of course, for the Fourth Prince's matter, I will only help him secretly at the moment. The Fourth Prince may not know that we are the ones in the dark!"

"Don't worry about what's going on in the palace. I'll send you a message if there's any sign of trouble!"

After all, Zhang Jian is still in the Hanlin Academy. Even though the current emperor favors eunuchs, some memorials still need to be reviewed and approved by the Hanlin Academy.

"Be careful and don't act rashly unless necessary. The emperor is like a frightened bird right now. You should put your own safety first."

"Just rest assured!"

After the two of them finished talking, Zhang Jian stood up and left through the secret door. The antique display cabinet automatically returned to its original appearance. Except for the teacup on the long table that indicated someone had been there, there was no trace of anyone else in the rest of the study.

..................................................................

Pei Huaizhi sat alone for a while, but his mind was restless for the first time. What Zhang Jian had just said about the late queen was just an objective event.

He always felt that there must be another hidden story. Given the identity of the Fourth Prince, the person behind instigating and forcing the death of the late Queen, he now began to doubt whether there was another hidden story behind the death of the late Emperor as well.

The late emperor had led the army to the capital in person and was on his way back to the capital in triumph. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly returned to the capital at full speed with only his personal guards.

Why was it such a coincidence that we were counterattacked by the remnants of the enemy forces on the way?

How did the enemy army locate the route of the late emperor's return to the capital so accurately?

If there wasn't a traitor among them, there would be no enemy sneak attack at all. The person in the dark might be from the Wei Dynasty.

If not, it was because the people of Wei State colluded with the enemy army and let the enemy silently into Wei State's territory, killing them with a borrowed knife.

Pei Huaizhi felt more and more that there was an invisible net covering everyone.

And beneath this big net, like the tip of an iceberg, there is a huge secret or a conspiracy hidden.

..................................................................

As the sun sets, there is a knock on the door outside the study.

Then the servant in the courtyard said, "Master, do you need to prepare dinner?"

Pei Huaizhi then noticed the sky outside. It was already late.

"no need……"

Pei Huaizhi in the room replied.

Thinking of the feast Song Qingcheng had prepared for her the night before, he lost his appetite for a moment.

Then he asked someone to prepare a horse. Pei Huaizhi gave a few instructions and left this ordinary little courtyard.

The servants in the yard never asked Pei Huaizhi when he came or when he left.

Because they know their master, he will come when he is needed, and they just need to do their own job well.

Chunhetang rode his horse back to Pei Mansion. Because of the secret sentry from the East Factory outside Pei Mansion, Pei Huaizhi dismounted from his horse far away.

After giving the horse a gentle pat on the back, it turned around and ran back.

The old horse knows the way. Looking at the way the horse returns, you can tell that the horse has returned to the yard on its own.

Pei Huaizhi tapped his toes lightly, avoiding the secret sentries of the East Factory without making any sound, and returned to the study room of Chunhe Hall.

Then he rubbed out the extremely fine silver needle behind his ear, restoring Pei Huaizhi's original appearance.

Shuqi came back and waited for Pei Huaizhi to deal with it before knocking on the door and coming in.

"grown ups?"

"What's the matter?"

Pei Huaizhi said as he washed his hands, his eyebrows looking more relaxed than before.

"On the way back home, I met a group of assassins... They were no ordinary people... I think the people behind them must want to kill you..."

Pei Huaizhi sat lazily in the armchair, with a faint smile on his face.

"Do you know who it is?"

Shuqi: "I am investigating... But those people who have the ability to raise assassins cannot escape. After I have investigated thoroughly, I will definitely give you an answer..."

"The thief is still thieving..."

Pei Huaizhi sneered. Should he know who it was?
