Just now Quanxiang called the maid and the little eunuch to come in to wash and change Pei Mo, and went to the shadow guard Lin Shijiang himself, asking him to send someone to investigate Pei Qian's affairs.

Pei Mo closed his eyes and stretched out his arms, allowing the maid to tidy his clothes. After a while, he asked, "What's going on outside?"

"Back to the emperor, the doctor Yu Shi was waiting outside before the court today, and there are also the Minister of the Household, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the prime minister... They are here for the King of Qi."

Pei Mo opened his eyes and sneered: "Oh? When did so many people come to speak for the King of Qi? Don't they take me seriously? Or can I, the emperor, step down and let the King of Qi be the king?" !"

Gang Quanxiang's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly knelt down, and the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs also knelt down too, not daring to say a word.

Pei Mo kicked the nearest eunuch away, and said coldly: "Since we have to wait, find a place, isn't there a wide corner in the Wuchen Courtyard, let them all go there and wait."

A little eunuch hurried down to report.

Only then did Pei Mo bring Gang Quanxiang and others to the front hall of the imperial study and turn left, intending to go out through the side door, so as not to have a headache seeing those old antiques.

Walking from the dark room to the outside, the sunlight coming in from the huge window in the front hall was so bright and dazzling that Pei Mo couldn't help squinting his eyes, and raised his hand to cover the light in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, a certain memory flashed in his mind so fast that he almost couldn't catch it.

With a pale face, Pei Mo stopped in his tracks, swayed, and even faintly sweated on his forehead.

Gang Quanxiang was startled when he saw his face, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Are you okay, let the slaves call the imperial physician over."

Pei Mo turned to look at him with a pale face showing horror, and slowly opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Before, there was a secret report from Jinsha City that Ning Yuan was kidnapped by a bandit, and the servant next to him was called What, what autumn, what did he say he was going to do?"

Pei Mo spoke slowly, as if digging out some uncertain or unwilling things from the depths of memory.

Quanxiang just followed Pei Mo for so many years, so he naturally knew his emotions, knew that he cared about Prince Qi's son Pei Ye, and didn't like Prince Qi's other children, and even acquiesced in others to suppress that child.

So although it was strange why Pei Mo asked this suddenly, he immediately said, "It's Mu Qiu, he belongs to Chen Mingli, the second son of Chen Gai, Minister of the Household Department."

Pei Mo's brain roared and his body swayed. He gritted his teeth tightly to hold himself together.

How could he have forgotten that any expression preferences of the people above will be guessed by the people below, and follow the guessed meaning to flatter or suppress other people.

What's more, he is the emperor, his liking is the liking of the world, his indifference and dislike is the hell of others.

Pei Mo felt the smell of blood in his mouth, he didn't dare to think about what Ning Yuan would be like now, and what he had experienced to grow up so peacefully.

He remembered everything. In order to flatter him, someone mentioned that King Qi's second son was missing. He didn't care. Later, it was Pei Ye who insisted on going to Nanjiang to find Pei Qian, so he agreed unhappily.

Pei Mo felt a great fear gripping his heart tightly, and he could hardly breathe.

There are always a few people who come to flatter him because of his face, that Chen Mingli, Chen Mingli!Pei Mo didn't dare to think about what Chen Mingli would do.

What's more, southern border is so dangerous, even Pei Ye brought so many people behind him when he went to southern border, so what about Ning Yuan?

He was alone and was hijacked by bandits...

The blood in Pei Mo's heart surged, and finally he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Gang Quanxiang and a few eunuchs were so frightened that their faces turned green, they quickly supported Pei Mo, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Go and call the imperial doctor!" The surrounding footsteps were in a hurry, Gang Quanxiang and others helped Pei Mo go to the nearest low couch first Let Pei Mo lie down.

With trembling fingers, Pei Mo grabbed Gang Quanxiang's sleeve with a ferocious expression, and said in a hoarse voice, ignoring the blood foam he coughed up from his mouth, "Send someone, send someone to Southern Xinjiang, and arrest Chen Mingli for me. And, also, and, find Ning Yuan, protect him for me, if there is any mistake, all of you will be buried with him!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Pei Mo struggled to straighten up, with a ferocious expression, wide eyes, and blood foam on his face, he roared and shouted.

Gang Quanxiang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this slave will let people go."

sands city

Mu Qiu hid in the corner, took out the portrait in his hand and unfolded it, an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on his face.

Ning Yuan turned out to be the second son of Prince Qi's mansion, one person is under one man and over ten thousand people, so what is he doing here?

No, King Qi should have the surname Pei, how could his surname be Ning?

But this portrait clearly shows Ning Yuan, but there is no scar on his face.

Mu Qiu gradually became afraid. Who would have thought that a disfigured person would be the second son of Prince Qi's mansion. Now that the son of Prince Qi is here, he will definitely not let him go.

Mu Qiu was flustered. If he had known that Ning Yuan was the son of Prince Qi's mansion, how could he have agreed to that villain Chen Mingli to help him with things.

After looking at it for a while, Mu Qiu's heart sank, and he folded the portrait in his hand and put it in his arms. Mu Qiu walked around the alley a few times before returning to the small courtyard where Chen Mingli was.

Kneeling next to Chen Mingli were two enchanting women, their breasts half exposed, only covered with a thin gauze, and they both leaned tightly on Chen Mingli's body.

Mu Qiu was disgusted in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any emotion. He lowered his head and said, "Master Chen, I have something important to say..."

Chen Mingli took a sip of the wine fed to his lips by the woman next to him, smiled and hugged her and kissed her, and said to Mu Qiu with sideways eyes: "What's the important thing? If you want to talk, just say it, don't be so goofy."

Another woman next to him covered her mouth and chuckled, leaning on Chen Mingli and looking at Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu was so angry that he wished he could kill Chen Mingli immediately.

He took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "It's about the second son of Prince Qi, here..."

Chen Mingli's face darkened, he raised his eyelids to look at him, pushed away the two women who were leaning against him, and said in a deep voice, "You all go down first."

Seeing his expression, the others didn't dare to make a sound, they bowed slightly to salute, and then went down.

"Say!"

Mu Qiu looked at him expressionlessly, took out the portrait in his arms, and said, "Who is this person?"

Chen Mingli glanced at him suspiciously, took a look at the portrait, and slowly curved his mouth and said, "Do you know that there are two people in Yanjing who are the most famous, and the eldest son of Qi Palace, Pei Ye, is handsome and gentle like Jade, gentle and elegant."

Chen Mingli looked at Mu Qiu with a half-smile, and then said: "The other one is Pei Qian, the second son of Prince Qi's residence. He is arrogant and domineering, cruel and merciless, and he will take revenge."

Every time he said a word, Mu Qiu's face turned pale, and he stared at Chen Mingli with a pair of dark eyes, "Since you know that he is Prince Qi, why, why did you let me..."

At the end of Mu Qiu's speech, she really couldn't continue.The lips trembled slightly.

Chen Mingli sneered, threw the portrait under his feet, and said: "So what, he is very powerful, but he is just a poor guy, others don't know, I don't know, he has no status in Prince Qi's mansion, The place where he lives is not even as good as that of the concubine's servants, not to mention that the current court doesn't want to see him."

Chen Mingli knew this because he had a cousin who had a good relationship with him since he was a child and was a maid in the palace, and he heard some news from him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to touch that person even if he had ten guts.

In fact, he felt a little pity for Pei Qian in his heart, feeling that he was in the same situation as himself, and that his father always valued his elder brother and ignored him.

What's even more unlucky is that he offended the emperor. It's not good to offend anyone but that one. Even if it wasn't him, no one would let him go.

Chen Mingli snorted coldly in his heart, thinking of the faces of those people in the family, secretly said, saying that I am useless, I will show you all this time, I am much more useful than you all.

Mu Qiu didn't understand these things, but said: "Even so, he is the second son of Prince Qi's Mansion. I heard from the people in the City Lord's Mansion that all the generals are looking for him."

Chen Mingli said indifferently: "Hmph, this general is Pei Qian's elder brother, the eldest son of Qi Palace."

If he had to believe that Pei Ye came here to save Pei Qian, it would be better to say that he came here to kill the grass and get rid of Pei Qian quickly.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Apparently, Mu Qiu also thought of this level. The two sons of the Qi Palace, one has been honored and favored, and the other has been neglected. Let others see, no one will think that the two of them are brothers. deep.

Chen Mingli didn't care that Pei Ye wanted to take the credit all by himself, to get rid of the emperor's thorn in his side, this credit is not something everyone can get.

But now that Pei Qian lives on the mountain, the few people he brought with him are useless at all.Even with Mu Qiu around, a good knife must be used wisely.

Calling the guards who were waiting outside to come in, Chen Mingli whispered in his ear: "Go to the City Lord's Mansion and find a way to let the general know that the person he is looking for is on the unnamed mountain."
