Just as she was thinking this, she saw the Queen Mother's attendants going out from the other side of the palace gate and looking at the crowds of people not far away.

He opened his lips in a cold voice and uttered: "The Queen Mother has ordered that if anyone causes trouble, just kill them and be done with it!"

The guards guarding the palace gate did not seem surprised. After responding, they immediately drew their swords and pointed them at the people in front of them: "Don't come forward!"

"If you come any closer, I will attack you!"

But who knew what these words meant, the people in front seemed to be even more enraged, and they raised their necks and shouted loudly at the guards in front of them.

"You bunch of lackeys, give us back our child!"

"Give us back our children!"

"Give us back our children!"

The people united together and their voices were deafening.

Pei Chun was still listening carefully, but then she felt a warm sensation on both sides of her ears, covering them.

"Mingcheng, don't listen."

Gu Yuan said this, and put his hand down again, tying a purse around Pei Chun's waist. Inside was a variety of poisonous insects that he had specially collected.

Pei Chun glanced down and pursed his lips.

The people outside the gate lost their children because of the greed of the twelfth prince's men.

She always thought that in this life, no one would break into the Princess's Mansion, and no one would be led by others to recklessly clash with the royal nobles because of her damaged reputation.

But the uprising of the people in the previous life also happened in this life.

Really... I don’t know how to put it.

Before Pei Chun could figure it out, he and Gu Yuan walked into Ma E's palace.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ma E bowing to Pei Chun with a smile on her face.

"Fu Ning, you've come just in time. I was just about to send you a letter."

Pei Chun stepped forward and helped the man up: "What's the content?"

She hoped to see news that the emperor was seriously ill and that power had fallen into the hands of the empress dowager.

Unfortunately, her expectations were dashed.

Ma E said with a smile: "The emperor didn't want to deal with the people, so he wanted the queen mother to be the villain, and the queen mother used the condition of letting the daughter of the Zhang family enter the palace.

He was sent to the palace last night."

"Then why are you so happy?" Pei Chun raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Ma E showed the two bracelets on her wrists.

This bracelet is very beautiful in emerald green, and you can tell at a glance that it is made of high-quality jade.

Ma E placed it in front of Pei Chun, as if presenting a treasure: "Look, Funing, this is the bracelet that the emperor smashed the jade seal and carved for me personally."

Pei Chun: “…”

This is indeed something to be excited about.

Now that he doesn’t even want the imperial seal, does the Emperor of Zhao still want the throne?

Although the answer was obvious, Pei Chun still found it unbelievable.

"Just because of the group of people making trouble outside?" Pei Chun was shocked.

Gu Yuan wasn't too shocked.

I don't know why, but when I think about it, if he were the emperor and Ming Cheng begged him with curved eyes to make a pair of bracelets with the imperial seal, he... would probably do it.

Anyway, the succession of a country depends on military power, military strength, and people's hearts.

It’s just a jade seal. If it’s gone, you can make another one.

Ma E shook her head: "No, I have worn this bracelet on my hand for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, even if he dies in the future, it will always be on my hand."

Pei Chun didn't know what to say, but seeing Ma E in front of him immersed in love, he chose to speak in a deep voice and interrupt her.

"But I want to get rid of him today."

Pei Chun's voice was cold, and his tone seemed to be mixed with ice.

She was sent to the palace by her father in order to manipulate Ma E to kill the emperor.

Ma E was startled, raised her head and looked at Pei Chun, and after a long while she asked, "Will I die then?"

Pei Chun shook his head: "No, but you will lose your current glorious position as the deputy queen.

And I will let you out of the palace.

If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”

She didn't want to deceive Ma'e.

Ma E stroked her chest, looked relieved and said, "It's good that you won't die."

Her expression was normal, without a single flaw.

But Pei Chun, with his beast-like intuition, felt that Ma E in front of him was lying.

This feeling is very strange.

So she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Ma E and said, "I won't let you get involved in the regicide, don't worry."

Ma E smiled bitterly, as if she knew that Pei Chun in front of her had figured it out for her: "But what I want is the power above everyone else.

Isn’t it because of this that I chose to survive in the first place…”
