The middle-aged man seemed to be one of those people who enjoyed great prestige in the wilderness. As soon as he finished speaking, many people gathered around him.

They curiously asked the middle-aged man: "What is going on?"

"Yeah, what are you talking about? The city lord usually loves us the most, how could he put a curse on us?"

A young man stood up and retorted loudly, somewhat unconvinced.

Before the middle-aged man could speak, a young girl beside him tugged at the young man's sleeve as if she remembered something: "Brother, stop talking, I still remember what happened before!

Uncle Zhang was right. The city lord and his brother put a poisonous insect in the well water that we drank from. That’s why we were poisoned and had to drink that disgusting human bone soup!”

As soon as the man's sister finished speaking, there was an uproar around them.

But no one stood up to refute, because they might forget everything else, but the feeling of being crazy and uncontrollably fighting for human bones was already engraved in their bones!

Many people were enlightened by this woman and spontaneously knelt down in the direction of Pei Chun and Pei Cui.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man also knelt down and looked at Pei Cui and Pei Chun, brother and sister: "If it weren't for the protection of you two and many doctors, we would have been eaten up by the cannibals outside the city.

Without the city lord, we wouldn't be like this.

It was Princess Funing and Mr. Pei who helped us capture Qin Liao and Qin Yu.

We will keep this great kindness in mind."

The middle-aged man was helped up by Pei Cui and Pei Chun, one on each side.

He compared all the things that happened in his memory with those of the people behind him.

After listening to this, the people became more and more certain that the vague memory in their minds was what really happened.

Pei Chun secretly took Gu Yuan to a corner.

"This person can remember everything that happened before. Is this your doing?"

Pei Chun recalled that when she and Gu Yuan had asked the middle-aged man in the alley before, this man responded to them with completely different attitudes.

At that time, the middle-aged man had an attitude of answering every question to Gu Yuan, and he treated her as if he wanted to bite the gold thread on her feet.

Therefore, she didn't believe that this person could remember the development of things without Gu Yuan's involvement.

After she finished thinking, she looked up and saw Gu Yuan winking at her proudly.

Pei Chun: “…”

Now it is confirmed that the reason why the middle-aged man can remember everything is Gu Yuan's work.

It was his intention.

"Mingcheng, how did I do?" Gu Yuan grinned and moved his face closer to Pei Chun's profile, asking for praise.

When helping the people to get rid of the poison, he accidentally discovered that the flesh and blood in the people's bodies were only slightly damaged by the poisonous worm.

So he deliberately saved this person first.

Let him witness the whole process of Mingcheng and his second brother saving people.

The children of the Pei family were educated to be too upright by Pei Ding. They never thought about how much prestige the Pei family would gain in their hearts if they saved the people of this city.

They are so upright that they don't want to repay favors, nor do they want to take credit for themselves, nor do they want to use it to win people's hearts.

But we can't let the Pei family clean up the mess for the Sixth Prince over and over again and get nothing in return.

Originally, the events in the wild land had nothing to do with the Pei family.

The poisonous insect was not planted by the Pei family, and they did not spread the disease intentionally. Everything has nothing to do with the Pei family.

But the Pei family has to pay for the Sixth Prince's actions.

Gu Yuan didn't want the Pei family to be like this.

So he was the only one who could help push it forward.

Even Ming Cheng initially just wanted to kill the Sixth Prince right here.

As a result, this trip not only saved the Sixth Prince's life, but also helped him solve subsequent issues in the wilderness.

Fortunately, the person in front of him did not disappoint his expectations.

As long as this person spreads the word about what the Pei family has done in the wild, why should the Pei family worry about not being able to win over the hearts of the people?

His father-in-law was preparing for a rebellion in the capital, and what he needed most was the support of the people.

Pei Chun felt Gu Yuan's face pressed against his, his eyes narrowed with a smile, his look as cunning as a fox, and a warm feeling passed through his heart.

She stood on tiptoe and patted his head: "I know what you are thinking! Thank you, Fuchuan."

Now, she understood why Gu Yuan did this.

In an empty corner, Gu Yuan secretly held Pei Chun's waist and rubbed his head against the palm of Pei Chun's hand with a smile.

Sure enough, he knew that Mingcheng would understand his painstaking efforts.

Beijing.

A few days ago, in the palace.

Pei Ding couldn't bear it anymore and killed the woman who tried to seduce him.

His loud roar was heard clearly by everyone in the main hall.

Not to mention that afterwards, the woman let out a series of terrifying screams.

It really ruined the joyful atmosphere that originally surrounded the emperor in the hall.

The emperor's surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The Queen Mother reacted the fastest, as if she had expected it. She stood up and rushed out of the palace with a group of palace guards.

It was snowing heavily outside the palace, and the snowflakes were falling from the sky like feathers.

The strong smell of blood was carried by the north wind into the nostrils of the people outside the hall.

The first one to come in was Gu Yuan, who walked very fast and was in the front.

Chu Yi was ordered by Gu Yuan to protect Pei Ding and the eldest princess.

When something was added into their tea cups before, he knew that someone was trying to harm Pei Ding and the princess.

But when Pei Ding was changing clothes, he wanted to follow him but was stopped, which made him worried.

Now that they heard someone screaming, they were naturally the first to rush over.

Pei Ding's face was covered in blood, and his entire dark green clothes were soaked in blood, with drops of blood dripping from his cuffs.

Pei Ding looked even more creepy than the beautiful woman lying on the ground with her arms separated from her body.

The next people to enter the palace were the panic-stricken eldest princess, and the empress dowager who followed behind her with a serious look on her face and a group of palace guards.

There are also the emperor and concubines in the harem who walk a little slower.

The crowd that followed the Queen Mother in were shocked to see that the woman on the ground had lost her temperature.

Behind the Queen Mother were a group of concubines and palace maids.

The group of people saw that the hall and the pillars were all covered with blood from Pei Ding's killings.

Many people who had never seen such a bloody scene could not help but move closer to each other and tremble.

"Duke Xin, what are you doing? Rebellion? How dare you kill someone in the palace!"

The Queen Mother immediately swept the teacup on the table next to her away with her sleeve, slammed the table, and pointed at Pei Ding angrily.
