In the past few months, she and Pei Qing have been in Jiangnan, busy with the matters ordered by the Emperor of Zhao, and they have been very busy.

But ever since she was far away in Jiangnan, she heard that her mother-in-law was punished by the Empress Dowager and humiliated in front of everyone.

She guessed that the Pei family might make this choice.

Now it has really come...

Shi Wan couldn't help but look at Pei Qing, sweat forming in her hands.

There is no such thing as father-son affection when it comes to this kind of... matter.

What if Pei Qing, who has always been upright and old-fashioned, is unwilling, and his father-in-law executes him on the spot?

Pei Qing himself had no objection, as he was a child taught by Pei Ding himself.

Although he has an old-fashioned personality, something in his bones is in line with Pei Ding.

It's his wife...

Pei Qing also looked back with some concern.

"Wan'er..."

The eldest princess sitting at the top put down the teacup in her hand as if she had expected it.

When she was choosing wives for her children, every candidate she pre-selected came from a family whose father had many wives and concubines, whose mother was not favored, or whose mother had passed away.

And I am the kind of person who can tell things clearly.

If a child like this marries into the Pei family, she won't worry if the Pei family really encounters such a day.

Such children will foolishly choose to reveal the matter to their maternal family.

It can be considered as a kind of preparation for a rainy day.

"I will leave it to you, my lord, to decide."

In the early morning of winter, there is thick fog when you breathe.

Pei Chun took out the mask that he often used when traveling in winter.

After casually wrapping it around his face to avoid the sting of the wind, he quickened his pace even more recklessly.

The two of them traveled day and night, and when they arrived at the capital of Yan State, the surrounding people had already put on thick clothes.

This time, Pei Chun and Gu Yuan disguised their faces together. Now Pei Chun disguised himself as a short and shifty man.

Gu Yuan returned to his original male attire, but the female disguise on his face had not yet been removed.

They disguised themselves as two brothers, one tall and one short, and entered the capital under the watchful eyes of the Yan State guards.

Pei Chun held Gu Yuan's clothes and walked behind him, pretending to be timid.

He looked around at the bustling street scene with a hint of curiosity.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had come to the State of Yan, and everything around her was new and new.

As soon as the two entered the city, they were led to the inn by a strange servant who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.

Pei Chun carefully observed the strange servant's attitude towards Gu Yuan.

This person bowed to Gu Yuan very respectfully. There was no contempt in his eyes towards Gu Yuan. He looked quite respectful, as if he had had contact with Gu Yuan before.

"Where is he now?" Gu Yuan asked seriously, not at all like the little husband who let Pei Chun make the decisions in front of him.

The servant, who was waiting for a reply, lowered his head even more.

He glanced around at the people coming and going on the road, and whispered in Gu Yuan's ear: "The third son of the Pei family has been transferred to the dungeon in the palace.

I have tried to rescue the Third Young Master once before in the Ministry of Justice, but the State of Yan seemed to have anticipated this and set an ambush.

When our people broke in, they searched for a long time but couldn't find the Third Young Master.

Instead, it alerted the enemy and caused the loss of many of our own people."

Gu Yuan frowned slightly.

Pei Chun also took a deep breath, so that even if the servant spoke in a low voice, she could hear it clearly.

"Then do you know how my third brother is doing now?"

Imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial palace, Pei Chun didn't believe that the people of Yan would treat his third brother well.

I guess he will be severely tortured.

She was so worried that her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't help but imagine her brother being tortured in prison.

The servant who was asked was stunned. He first looked up at Gu Yuan, and then looked at Pei Chun: "According to the news from the insider in the palace, the third young master is under very strict supervision. No one can see him except the eldest princess."

What he meant was that he didn't know how his third brother was doing now.

Pei Chun's anxiety surged up again, and she could not control herself. She looked towards the majestic Yan State's palace in Kyoto.

At the heavy palace gate, a young eunuch was seen holding his token in both hands, begging the palace guards.

"Generals, please let me in. My master is still waiting for me to deliver something in the palace!"

The guard who was guarding the palace looked up and down at the young eunuch and said, "No, there is an order from above.

In the next few days, no one can be allowed into the palace!"

The eunuch was so anxious that his face turned red after hearing this: "Sir, my master is the Empress in the palace.

It was the Queen who sent me out to do some work a few days ago. I was delayed for two days and only just came back after finishing my work!

If I can't go back tonight, I will die, sir! Sir! Please show some mercy and let me in!"

After saying this, the young eunuch stuffed the two bulging money bags in his hands into the hands of the guards guarding the palace gate.

But the guard remained ruthless and even refused the two bags of generous silver.

"Go, go! If you yell again, I will report you to my superiors and throw you into jail!

The supervision is very strict now. How dare you, a eunuch, leave the palace at such a critical moment?

I see you have never died!"

The young eunuch looked desperate, and even his originally rosy face began to turn pale.

He seemed to have realized that he had been delayed for so long, and if he returned to the palace, he might be severely punished.

The whole person exuded a sense of distraught.

Seeing the young eunuch walking away in a daze, the guards who had picked up the bows and arrows put down their weapons.

He looked around sharply, watching for anyone suspicious.

Pei Chun had a clear look at the densely packed guards surrounding the palace, and naturally saw this scene.

Even ordinary entry and exit are not allowed, it is really: "Be on high alert..."

Her eyes gradually became solemn and full of determination, as if she was willing to risk her life.

There was a lot of traffic around, and there were many people in the capital of Yan State.

She suddenly felt like she was back in her previous life, when she lost her third and fourth brothers. The heart-wrenching pain was unbearable.

The hand held by Gu Yuan began to tremble uncontrollably.

Gu Yuan felt it, and he couldn't help but clench Pei Chun's hand.

"Mingcheng, don't be afraid. We will find a way to get in tonight!"

Pei Chun was no longer in the mood to respond to what Gu Yuan said.

She just wanted to see her third brother as soon as possible.

Gu Yuan also knew that Pei Chun was anxious now. After arriving at the inn, he immediately ordered the servants around him to find a few sharp weapons and a map of the Yan Kingdom’s palace and prison.

He also asked his attendants to call all the spies in Yan State over: "Since the people in the Yan Palace have already noticed your actions, they must have already laid a net in the palace."

Gu Yuan said this and glanced at Pei Chun who was keeping his head down in silence and adjusting the hidden weapon on his sleeve.

Then he turned around and said, "But we have to go there tonight anyway, and you need to divert the guards' attention."

Ming Cheng is alone, but there must be a tight net waiting for him in the Yan Palace.

It was impossible for him to watch Ming Cheng die with his own eyes, so he could only ask the spy who had been hiding in Yan State for many years to reveal his identity.

At worst, we can just send someone else over.

Pei Chun finally reacted when he heard Gu Yuan say this. He looked at him and suggested seriously, "Go to Sichuan, why don't you wait for me outside?"

The people of Yan captured the third brother but did not kill him. In addition to waiting for my father to bring him here in person, they were naturally on guard against the Pei family sending someone to rescue the third brother.

But now you can’t even enter the Yan Palace.

If she wanted to get in, she could only sneak in using light skills.

Even so, Pei Chun could not guarantee that he could protect Gu Yuan under the eyes of so many Yan guards.

Moreover, Gu Yuan had no martial arts skills, so going in with her would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Pei Chun knew how dangerous it was for him to break into the Yan Palace alone.

There was no need for her to let Gu Yuan die with her.

After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.
