Pei Cui glanced at the two people in the corner, as if he remembered something, under the disapproving looks of his third brother Pei Zhan and fifth brother Pei Jing.

With a helpless look on his face, he carried his two tactless brothers away.

He complained secretly in his heart.

The two men didn't want to see Mingcheng alone, and Gu Yuan was with them.

Even if the news gets out, no one can blame his sister.

Besides, with Mingcheng's fighting ability, among the brothers, except for the third brother who could fight with her for two moves, the rest have been defeated by her.

Could she be afraid of the man opposite her whose half body was stiff and whose hands and feet were not flexible?

Moreover, there are so many poisonous insects on Gu Yuan's body, would he let these two people get close to Ming Cheng?

What’s more, one of them is Gu Yuan’s younger brother and Dad’s partner.

"Okay then, Mingcheng, you better remember it quickly!" Pei Jing rode on the tall ostrich and raised his chin towards Pei Chun beside him.

Then, he threw Xiaoqing, who was standing on his shoulder, to Pei Chun.

In order to hurry on his journey today, he changed into an old set of clothes to prevent the wind and dust from dirtying his coat.

So at this moment he looked listless, and when he spoke, he had no authority in front of Pei Chun.

After listening, Pei Chun casually caught Xiaoqing who was flapping her wings and waved to his fifth brother to indicate that he had heard it.

The Zhao royal guards slowly moved with their motorcade filled with doctors.

Pei Chun watched his brothers quietly. After they reached the city gate of Savage Land, he took Gu Yuan's hand, put away his facial expression, and walked worriedly towards Gu Chen and Shiwu in the distance.

"Why did you suddenly come here? What happened?" Gu Yuan asked hesitantly.

He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, his brother Gu Chen would never take the initiative to come to him at this critical juncture.

Beijing.

When the eldest princess noticed that there was something in the teacup, she guessed that the Sixth Prince and the Queen Mother had joined forces again to deal with the Pei family.

But now, the performance of these two people is really confusing.

But she remained silent as usual, kneeling aside without saying anything.

On the other side, the emperor immediately turned his head and glanced at the eunuch behind him: "Go check, I want to see what is going on."

After the emperor finished speaking, he hugged Ma E, who was lying in his arms, tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, my dear concubine. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you!"

After saying that, he ignored the group of people kneeling on the ground, put his arms around Ma E's charming waist, and returned to the hall.

Only one person was left in the room, kneeling on the ground, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The Queen Mother still looked down at these useless concubines with a cold and condescending look.

"The emperor is gone, why are you still kneeling?"

After she vented her anger casually, she turned around and walked away.

By the way, he took away the Sixth Prince, who was full of suspicion.

The eldest princess looked at the backs of the people walking away, and exchanged a glance with Pei Ding who was kneeling upright on the ground.

Chu Yi, who was standing by, saw this and immediately stepped forward to support Pei Ding.

As soon as he approached Pei Ding, he suddenly realized something was wrong and looked at the back of Pei Ding's neck.

I saw a red and small wound suddenly appeared there.

This wound... is the Floating Life Gu!

His eyes widened slightly, and just as he was about to open his mouth in disbelief, he saw Pei Ding shaking his head very slightly at him.

Pei Ding's eyes inadvertently glanced at the beams in the hall.

When Chuyi saw this, he shut his mouth silently, and under the watchful eyes of several eunuchs left by the Queen Mother at the door, he entered the palace with the Princess and Pei Ding.

Ma E, who was sitting in the first seat, was still smiling coquettishly at the emperor, as if nothing that had just happened in the hall next door had happened.

The Sixth Prince also sipped his tea silently without making any sense of his presence.

From time to time, he smiled and turned around, talking in a low voice with his eldest brother Pei Qing, who had just heard the news and rushed over.

Pei Qing was originally attending a banquet with his fourth brother Pei Che and several princes.

After receiving the news, he ran to the palace without stopping for a moment.

But fortunately, when he and the fourth brother arrived, they happened to see the eunuch beside the emperor, who was questioning the palace servants at the palace gate, as if he was verifying something?

Pei Qing and Pei Che only took a quick look, then retracted their gaze and hurried into the hall.

Fortunately, Daddy and Mommy are both fine now, and they have Chuyi to protect them.

The eldest princess and Pei Ding had just sat down.

Then a young eunuch dressed in eunuch's clothes came quickly.

They looked somewhat unfamiliar, not the ones I had seen around the emperor before.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the assassin was brought into the palace by the head aunt of the Imperial Concubine.

The servants have checked carefully and found that the assassin is the niece of the Imperial Concubine, the aunt in charge.

She was originally just a low-ranking palace maid in the laundry department.

But a few days ago, the aunt in charge of the Imperial Concubine suddenly asked someone to build a big house for her family in the capital.

Even the assassin's old house far away in Jiangnan was renovated.

The servants felt something was wrong, so they specially interrogated several palace maids in the Imperial Concubine's palace.

Then she said...said."

The young eunuch spoke hesitantly, and at the end he raised his head and timidly glanced at Ma E, whose face changed in the emperor's arms.

The emperor frowned impatiently, but he did not forget to pat Ma E in his arms to comfort her: "What did the people in the palace say, my beloved concubine?"

Seeing this, the young eunuch knelt down in panic and said: "People in the Imperial Concubine's palace said that Ma is a distant relative of the Imperial Concubine.

A few days ago, I suddenly received a reward from the Imperial Concubine, so I was able to build a house for the assassin."

The emperor frowned and slapped the table: "So, what do you want to say?"

His tone was full of protection.

It was as if he was threatening the young eunuch under him, saying that if he said anything that was detrimental to Ma E, he would also have to die.

The young eunuch did not hesitate this time, but risked his life, and under the gaze of everyone in the hall, he gently raised his lips and said: "Your servants have just interrogated the head aunt of the Royal Concubine's palace.

The aunt said that the queen gave her a reward and asked her to use her identity to bring the assassin to the side hall where Duke Xin changed his clothes.

Find an opportunity to assassinate Lord Xinguo."

The emperor did not frown this time. Instead, he frowned and looked down at Ma E in his arms with his dark eyes.

"My beloved, is this true?" He asked while patting Ma E's waist in an ambiguous manner.

The intention of maintenance is obvious.

Obviously he was waiting for Ma E to deny it.

That sweet gesture made the Queen Mother so angry that her face twisted, and she wished she could rush up and tear Ma E, the seductive bitch, to pieces on the spot.

The emperor didn't believe that his beloved concubine would do such a thing. In his mind, his beloved concubine had always been weak, so this matter must have been framed by someone!

He was very confident in Ma E, and because of this confidence, he developed patience towards Ma E that many other concubines had never had.

Ma E seemed to be frightened by hearing the news, and her expression remained stiff.

Hearing the emperor's question, he was a little stunned, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the emperor in disbelief.
