Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world

Pei Zhuo successfully married Shu Weiyue as the Crown Princess. During this period, Jie Eryun did not interfere in the matter again, and Yan Qing did not say anything about it. Her attitude towards Pei Zhuo remained the same as usual.

Although Pei Zhuo said at that time that he would just be Qingqing's brother in the future, feelings were not something he could control. Seeing Yan Qing's indifferent look, his heart was still filled with bitterness and sorrow.

Pei Zhuo lowered his eyes and a faint sigh came out of his mouth.

Really, I can't let it go.

***

Half a year later, an accident happened in Mobei and the King of Zhenbei died. Jiang Huaixu left the capital to avenge his father and went to Mobei alone.

Pei Zhuo looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes darkening little by little.

His knuckles were turning white from gripping the edge of the letter paper.

After a while, Pei Zhuo asked in a hoarse voice: "Is the news true?"

The person kneeling beside him bowed his head and said, "There is absolutely no mistake or omission."

Hearing this, he returned his gaze to the letter paper, on which was simply written a sentence: "Your Majesty was involved in the death of King Zhenbei."

Pei Zhuo had a vague idea in his heart, so he ordered in a deep voice: "Let someone investigate this matter... and the matter of General An's death in battle more than ten years ago. Even if you have to use any means, you must find out the truth for me."

The man was horrified, but still said respectfully, "I obey your orders."

Half a month passed in a flash, and his people also found out some clues.

Pei Zhuo's heart sank a little as he read the news that came back.

It turned out that the death of King Zhenbei was actually caused by my father.

Although he knew that his father was becoming increasingly absurd and attached great importance to power, he had never thought that his father would use this method to take back the military power.

It has been a long time since General An's death, and only some clues can be found.

But just from a few clues, Pei Zhuo was able to confirm that what happened back then was also done by his father.

If Qingqing knew...

No, Qingqing won’t know.

Finally, Pei Zhuo ordered: "Wipe all traces clean."

After the secret guard received the order, Pei Zhuo burned all the letters in his hand one by one.

The red candle flame flickered in his eyes, staining his pupils with a hint of bloody murderous intent.

Father can't stay any longer...

He is now able to ignore the civilians at the border and attack the military generals guarding the border, but there is no guarantee that he will not suddenly turn his knife on the surviving members of General An's lineage in the future.

Moreover, the emperor is extremely wary of him, so he should strike first.

***

Recently, a Taoist priest came to the capital and was sent to the palace by the Sixth Prince to be presented to Emperor Chongming. It was heard that he had a unique skill in refining elixirs that could make people strong and healthy and prolong their life.

After eating the elixir he made, Emperor Chongming felt as if he had returned to his youth and was full of energy. He immediately valued this Taoist priest very much, and the Sixth Prince also benefited a lot from it.

Just one year later, during a court meeting, Emperor Chongming suddenly vomited blood in public. After diagnosis by the imperial physician, it was found that he was severely poisoned and there was probably no way to save him.

When he woke up during the reign of Emperor Chongming and learned that he was going to die, he instantly went mad. After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that there was something wrong with the Taoist priest who secretly poisoned him when he was making the elixir.

It would not be a big deal for others to take his pills, but Emperor Chongming already had many minor ailments, and the toxins in the pills triggered those ailments and led to the current consequences.

Emperor Chongming was furious and ordered his men to capture the Taoist priest and cut him into pieces, but when the imperial guards arrived, they found that the Taoist priest had already fled.

All his remaining anger was directed at the Sixth Prince, who was eventually imprisoned for plotting to murder the Emperor and was executed soon after. Emperor Chongming also passed away a few days later.

A country cannot live without a ruler for a day.

Pei Zhuo was originally the crown prince, and he ascended the throne smoothly with the support of his ministers. Among them, Pei Zhuo also showed his ruthless and decisive side, suppressing those brothers who had other ideas and made them dare not move.

As for the Taoist priest, he was naturally Pei Zhuo's man, and was sent into the palace by Pei Zhuo through the Sixth Prince, while he himself certainly had nothing to do with it.

Now, two major concerns, Emperor Chongming and the Sixth Prince, have been resolved at once.

After Pei Zhuo ascended the throne, he asked Haikang and other secret guards to investigate the case of General An again. This time, the clues they found were more complete.

He pondered for a long time, and let those who participated in this incident have an accident, or accidentally fell to death while riding a horse, or choked to death while eating...

There are so many different things.

Although he had dealt with most of the people, Pei Zhuo was always afraid that he would miss something when facing Yan Qing, thus letting Qing Qing know about it.

This was something he didn't even dare to think about deeply.

So he focused all his attention on government affairs, using this method to numb himself.

It can only be said that the mess Emperor Chongming left for Pei Zhuo was really a mess. He spent a lot of effort to resolve the consequences and hidden dangers caused to Dazhao by Emperor Chongming's absurd behavior in his later years.

But this also caused Pei Zhuo to become ill due to overwork and he never recovered.

Pei Zhuo lay on the sickbed, his handsome features covered with a hint of death.

This was the last day after the Medical Saint extended his life.

Pei Zhuo himself was actually aware of the concern of the Medical Saint.

His current condition is not just due to overwork, but also due to the guilt he had for hiding the truth from Qingqing and the panic he had been experiencing since he learned the truth about General An's death.

He was afraid that Qingqing would hate him.

Now that he was dead, he might be relieved, but he was also afraid that no one would protect Qingqing anymore.

There is ultimately no solution.

"Brother, are you going to leave me too?"

Hearing the word "royal brother", Pei Zhuo was slightly startled. He had always hoped that Qingqing could distinguish him from An Feizhu, but now he hoped that Qingqing would still only regard him as brother.

Pei Zhuo raised his eyes and could clearly see the pain in Yan Qing's eyes.

He was afraid that Qingqing would return to the way she was when they first met after he left, and he was even more afraid that Qingqing would no longer have any attachment to this world.

Pei Zhuo suddenly thought of what Qingqing said to him when she looked at the sleeping Pei Shiyu when Shu Weiyue passed away.

"Brother, don't you think Shi Yu and I are somewhat similar?"

Pei Zhuo knew that Qingqing might have said this because she was moved by the scene of Pei Shiyu's mother's death, but he didn't feel that way then, and he doesn't feel that way now.

But now he needed to find a comfort and sustenance for Qingqing to survive, so he said: "Qingqing, Shi Yu is still young, please help me take good care of him."

Pei Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief only after Qingqing nodded.

Afterwards, he named Qingqing the imperial princess and gave her the greatest power and the tiger talisman.

Pei Zhuo was not too worried about his brothers, as he believed Qing Qing had the ability to suppress them all.

But there was still one person that Pei Zhuo was afraid of.

That is Jiang Huaixu. In recent years, Jiang Huaixu's achievements have surpassed his master, and he has long been unable to be given any more titles.

Pei Zhuo was helpless in the face of this situation. If Jiang Huaixu knew what happened back then, he would definitely rebel.

However, what Pei Zhuo was worried about was not whether Jiang Huaixu would rebel, nor how Jiang Huaixu would treat Qingqing.

Although he disliked Jiang Huaixu, he had to admit that Jiang Huaixu would not do anything to Qingqing.

He was just afraid that Qingqing would take Dazhao and Shi Yu very seriously because of his words, and she and Jiang Huaixu would end up in a lose-lose situation.

Pei Zhuo was silent for a long time and let Haikang in.

Looking at Haikang, the man in front of him who knew all his secrets and now wanted to be buried with him, Pei Zhuo sighed and told him to keep the secret and guard the imperial tomb for him.

If Jiang Huaixu rebels, he will definitely tell Qingqing what happened, but Qingqing will not believe it.

And Haikang was the person he deliberately left for Qingqing to verify.

When Qingqing knows about that, she should be able to let go of Dazhao and Shiyu.

Even if Qingqing hates him, it doesn't matter.

Jiang Huaixu also knew what Qingqing looked like when she was a child. With him by her side, Qingqing should be fine.

After everything was arranged, Pei Zhuo let out a breath that he had been holding on to.

He does not ask for an afterlife, he only hopes that his beloved will live the rest of her life happily in Chang'an.
