"Afraid?"

The queen snorted coldly, threw a volume of files in her hand in front of Qin Yue, and said angrily: "You and your father use your private power to buy and sell officials, disregarding the law! What do you think I should do with you father and daughter !"

The ministers were in an uproar!Many officials who usually had close contacts with the three princesses showed a lot of uneasiness and fear on their faces, for fear of being implicated by Qin Yue.

Panic flashed in Qin Yue's eyes, and she picked up the file with trembling hands, and found that it was all the income accounts of herself and her father using power to buy and sell low-ranking officials over the years. How could this thing fall into the Queen's hands?

Qin Yue only felt a roar in her head, but she held on, pretending to have an expression on her face as if she had been greatly wronged, knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "My son thinks he has never done such a humiliating thing. As for the matter of royal prestige, the so-called income accounts must have been deliberately collected and written by someone to frame your ministers, please Your Majesty to investigate clearly!"

The Empress cast her eyes on Pei Mo, and Pei Mo came out understandingly, and said in a flat tone: "When your lord mentioned this matter to the minister before, the minister was suspicious, so he sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that there was indeed such a thing. The princess she..."

Qin Yue suddenly became angry from embarrassment, pointed at Pei Mo and shouted: "Pei Mo, you spitting blood! I, Qin Yue, think that I am usually polite to you. What kind of benefits did your lord give you to let you frame me like this!"

Qin Yue is well aware of the seriousness of buying and selling official positions in private, and at this moment when she stares at Pei Mo's eyes, she can almost burst into flames!

However, Pei Mo ignored Qin Yue's shout, and continued in a calm tone: "The minister has found out that for official positions above the fifth rank, every time the third princess invites an official buyer to trade in the Tingfeng Building in the Imperial City, the official position below the fifth rank is It was directly handed over to the subordinate officials to handle it, and in the past few years, it has been bought and sold many times, and it has benefited from nearly one million taels of gold, and it has been collected by Tingfeng Tower."

As Pei Mo said, he took out a booklet from his sleeve and signaled the eunuch to present it to the Queen, and then continued: "This booklet is the account information and personnel list of Tingfenglou that I have investigated in the past six months. Your Majesty only needs to Comparing it with the list of officials, you will know whether what I said is true."

Speaking of this, Pei Mo paused: "I also feel that taking this matter as an example, it is necessary to warn the princes and princesses, and the other identity of the minister is also the Taifu of the fifth princess and the sixth prince. Bring them to the court, lest they make the same big mistake in the future!"

After Pei Mo told about Tingfenglou and took out the account book, Qin Yue completely collapsed on the ground.She has always been very secretive when buying and selling official positions with her father. In order to ensure that the people around her will not betray her, every time she goes to listen to the business in Fenglou, she never even takes the maid with her. She doesn't understand how Pei Mo knows of!

The empress cast a cold glance at Qin Yue, who fell to the ground, and said coldly: "Qin Yue and his father used power for personal gain, buying and selling official positions without permission. This is an unforgivable crime! Qu Huai, the side king, has been thrown into the cold palace, and he will not be allowed to step out of the cold palace for the rest of his life! Three Princess Qin Yue has come to the clan mansion to wait for her punishment!"

The two guards stepped forward and took Qin Yue down, who was limp on the ground and stared blankly. Because of this situation, the court hall fell into deathly silence.

The officials were terrified, and many of them looked down at the stern figure standing at the head of the officials from the corner of their eyes. They only felt chills all over their bodies, and began to secretly worry about whether they had offended her. What is warm and unashamed is the admiration in the heart and the look of admiration on the face.

In the hall, the empress calmed down a little, returned to the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice: "This kind of bad thing happened among my children, and I am also responsible! Pei Aiqing, you and your lord are doing the right thing. Receiving a reward, what do you want? Just ask, I will definitely be satisfied!"

Pei Mo knelt down and said indifferently: "Serving the country to wipe out corrupt officials is the duty of the minister. If your majesty insists on rewarding him, I just want to ask your majesty to leave two seats in the court for the five princesses and The sixth prince observes the government affairs, distinguish right from wrong early, and avoid making big mistakes in the future!"

The queen glanced at the end of the group of officials, her thin little daughter, suddenly recalled what your lord mentioned to her this morning, and vaguely felt that she owed her a little, so she raised her voice: "From today onwards, The fifth princess, Qin Ran, was brought up by your lord, and she stayed in Zhongning Palace, and she will attend the court together with the sixth prince. Do the officials have any objections?"

About Qin Yue this morning, the officials have already understood Pei Mo's methods, and they also know that she left them a leeway, and didn't kill them all because of Qin Yue's matter. objection?

Seeing the empress mentioning this matter at this time, one by one leaned down and said in unison: "I have no objection!"

When the morning went away, many ministers gathered around Pei Mo and complimented her lavishly. Pei Mo listened to their good words with a smile on his lips, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Before she was reborn, she hated the ugly faces of these officialdom's flattery, let alone after being reborn once?

He dismissed them with a few casual sentences, and when he raised his eyes to see Qin Ran who was also surrounded by officials and asked questions, his face softened a little.But he didn't go forward, just stood aside, quietly watching her flustered but coping with it one by one.

"Pei Xiang's performance today really opened my eyes!" A gentle voice sounded from Pei Mo's side.

The very familiar voice made Pei Mo frowned slightly, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Yi standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Yi is tall and handsome, and at a young age, he ranks as a general and holds military power in his hands. With his outstanding military achievements, coupled with his elegant demeanor and humorous conversation, it is no wonder that Qin Ran, who was young before rebirth, fell in love with him.

But Pei Mo, who has resurrected his life, will naturally not be deceived by his hypocritical appearance.

Looking up at him, Pei Mo said nonchalantly, "General Chen is looking for me for something?"

Finding that Pei Mo's tone was indifferent, Chen Yi was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "I just came to congratulate Prime Minister Pei for his first appointment, and he made great contributions."

"Assisting His Majesty is the job of a humble official. If General Chen is fine, I will leave first." After finishing speaking, Pei Mo ignored him and turned to leave.

Qin Ran, who was silently watching Pei Mo's actions, saw that Pei Mo intended to leave, hurriedly dealt with the surrounding officials and followed her, and followed her silently without saying a word.

Pei Mo saw the fork in the road, and then stopped, turned around and looked at Qin Ran who was following behind her with his head hanging down, thinking about something, without making a sound, he just watched Qin Ran staring straight at him in a daze He came and bumped into her arms.

Qin Ran staggered and was a little unstable, Pei Mo subconsciously hugged her waist, looked down at Qin Ran with a red nose in his arms, and couldn't help chuckling.

Qin Ran covered his sore nose and exclaimed, and subconsciously raised his head to complain, but his pink lips brushed against Pei Mo's inadvertently.

When the words came to a halt, Qin Ran's small face instantly turned bright red...
