MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 188 just to test
Chapter 188 Just a test
Pei You lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes were like dense feathers, falling over her eyelids.
There was a moment of silence in the Hall of Qinzheng.
Three games of chess had passed, and the sky outside had already brightened, and even the sunlight slanted into the window lattice.
In the early morning of the palace, there are also birds chirping and chirping outside the palace, making this space extraordinarily quiet.
After a long while, Pei Youyi put down the chess piece in his hand, and lightly curled the corner of his lips: "Your Majesty was joking."
The voice is few and weak.
Jiahedi looked at him, moved his lips, but did not make a sound.
"Your Majesty, I have other business to come here today." Pei You raised his eyes with a cool look in his eyes.
Jia and Di Wei froze for a moment, and went to hold on to the white piece he had put down: "Before you came, I had already summoned Sang Liu from Fengyi Palace."
Emperor Jiahe said so, so Pei You didn't say anything more.
Chess was played in silence for half a game, until the board was getting full, the black and white pieces refused to give in to each other, and it was almost deadlocked. Emperor Jiahe held up a white piece, which was delayed.
"Forgive me, have you ever doubted that it is me?"
Pei You is not shy: "Yes."
"tell me the story."
"The Jinwu Guard in Lingnan is ordered by His Majesty."
"Why not the queen?"
"The empress?" Pei You smiled, a little coldly, "The empress knew I was in Lingnan, and even knew my situation, so she wouldn't be so angry."
Xie Nanci was able to find him, it is impossible for Xie Nanzhi not to know.
It's just that she doesn't care about it.
Emperor Jiahe's eye circles suddenly turned red, and he suppressed it, and asked, "How did you get rid of Zhen?"
"Whoever your majesty wants to kill, why should the empress take the blame."
not to mention…
Pei You pursed her lips and did not continue.
Jia and Di Changyi laughed twice: "I'm confused, forgive me for being smart, how can I be easily fooled."
"Your Majesty means that the people who did these things intended to blame His Majesty?"
Emperor Jiahe's smile cast a cloud of gloom: "The wisdom of forgiveness, you have already guessed who it is, right?"
Pei You closed his eyes.
Emperor Jiahe's smile also suppressed, and there was a bit of deep helplessness on his face: "For so many years, he has been stubbornly believing that Nan Ci's death was planned by me alone. Even when his adopted child died of illness, he thought it was my fault. handwriting."
"He decided that I couldn't tolerate the Xie family and the growing Xie Nanci, so he deliberately transferred him from southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang, and even isolated Xie Nanci in that battle, which led to his death in battle."
The Xie family was indeed very powerful back then, and Xie Nanci's reputation among the people was not even weaker than that of the young emperor.
But he was able to ascend the throne smoothly by taking advantage of Xie's family. Xie Nanci is Xie Nanzhi's younger brother, and even a childhood playmate who grew up with him.
Even if he wanted to weaken Xie's power, why did he use such shady means?
Emperor Jiahe sighed.
"I pity him for his advanced age. When a white-haired man sent a black-haired man, he was hit hard. In addition, he is my father-in-law, so I didn't care too much about him."
"Forgive me, I didn't expect that he would point the finger at you."
The deadlock on the chess board has been broken, and if one black piece falls, all the white pieces can be captured, but Pei You's hand holding the chess piece does not move, and only holds the piece tightly.
"I only learned from Sang Liu today that he had asked about your identity from the queen when I was secretly investigating you. Since then, he has made you and me intolerable, in order to relieve him." His thought of bereavement."
"After the Lingnan epidemic, he got close to you and often invited you to meet at your house. You should be able to find out his temperament."
"He is the most accomplished Patriarch of the Xie Clan in the past hundred years, but also the most powerful and twisted Patriarch."
"He is used to controlling everything, whether it is court affairs or his own children. He used his own life and Xie's honor to force the queen to push these things on me."
Emperor Jiahe is after Xie Nanzhi.
No matter how ugly the quarrel was on the surface, no matter how angry she was when she sent Pei You away without saying a word, but when she came to Pei You, she was always speaking for her, and she didn't want Pei You to complain about her any more.
Pei You just smiled.
Since he was young, Wang Fu has expressed to him the difference between ordinary people. The nobles are born rich and have a smooth official career, and they are superior to others.
Growing up among the people, he naturally saw and felt this difference with his own eyes.
But because of his superiority, his journey was considered smooth, and he felt a little, but not profound.
Instead, he went back to the Duke's Mansion and saw the various behaviors of King Rui and the Fourth Prince. Now that he hears the reason for Xie Chang Yuan's actions, he feels even more ridiculous.
It's just a "blame".
Just to alienate the relationship between a father and his son, he cruelly hurt the lives of so many innocent people.
If it wasn't for Wen Ning's rescue, if it wasn't for the night guards who arrived in time, the Wangs and his wife would have lost hundreds of lives in Guizhuang, and they would have gone in vain because of his "identification".
This is even more ridiculous than hearing Xie Nanzhi say that she killed someone to cover up the truth about her stealing the dragon and turning into a phoenix.
The purpose of covering up the truth is to protect the lives of more people, and to alienate his relationship with Emperor Jiahe. What can he gain?
Pei You put down the chess piece in his hand, he didn't intend to finish the game, and he didn't intend to stay here any longer.
However, Emperor Jiahe continued: "He deliberately chose this time to let the queen frame him, probably because he saw that Chu Xuan was no longer possible, and Chu Heng had no future prospects. I only have you as a pearl to use. I want to be with you and my father and son." Cleave a chasm before you recognize it."
"Fubingwei, Gyeonggiying, Jinwuwei, and Jinwuwei in Lingnan were indeed sent by me, and I will not be able to argue at that time."
"Even if you argue, you have preconceived ideas and may not believe it."
He shook his head and laughed: "It's hard for him, I have worked so hard to plan this far."
Pei You suddenly froze for a moment.
"Your Majesty, you mean that Lord Xie knows that the fourth prince is not favored, so he won't be able to bear the heavy responsibility?"
Emperor Jiahe laughed even more sarcastically: "How could he not know? Although he is half hidden in the court, there are still half of his people in the court hall. What stupid things Chu Heng has done, he probably knows better than me!"
Pei Youben's fair complexion became a little paler with the naked eye, and even a trace of panic welled up in his usually calm eyes.
Not right.
He always thought that these things were done by Xie Changyuan, just like Xie Nanzhi, in order to cover up certain crimes.
But he was just trying to provoke the relationship between him and Emperor Jiahe.
The Wangs, Fanyinyin, and Wangguizhuang, at least on the surface, all have a close relationship with him, so it makes sense for them to do something, but what about Wen Tingchun?
If Wen Tingchun was framed for the first time, it would be to kill people to silence him, lest he tell his life experience and what Xie Nanzhi did back then, and become a handle for King Rui and Chu Heng to deal with the Xie family.
But now, King Rui is no longer there, and Chu Heng is hard to become a great weapon. Emperor Jiahe can be said to be conniving with the Xie family, and he never intends to pursue Xie Nanzhi's crimes, and even wants to bring his identity to light.
Why did they still want to assassinate Wen Tingchun?
Pei You stood up from the low couch quickly: "I still have important matters to do, so I will take my leave first, Your Majesty forgive me."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Emperor Jiahe's permission.
It's just a test.
The assassination of Wen Tingchun was not a silence.
is a test.
Test him whether he takes this old man seriously, and whether he takes Wen Ning seriously.
With such thoughts, he has been planning for nearly three years, and it is impossible to put all his hopes on Xie Nanzhi.
He kept the last piece for himself.
Pei You hurriedly walked out of the palace.
He met Xie Nanzhi last night, it's impossible that Xie Changyuan didn't know, and even already knew Xie Nanzhi's choice.
He met Emperor Jiahe this morning, and Xie Changyuan couldn't possibly not know about it.
He will take advantage of the opportunity before he knows everything, before he takes precautions.
Gu Fei went to the Ministry of Industry to ask for leave for Pei You, then returned to the gate of the palace, and sat by the carriage as usual waiting for his heir.
I thought it would take at least noon to wait for people, but I didn't know that just after the hour, I saw my eldest son come out of the palace.
I don't know what I talked with His Majesty, but my complexion looked pale, and my steps were a little flustered.
Before he stepped forward to ask, he had already lifted his robe and got into the car: "Go home, hurry up!"
-
Wen Ning originally wanted to sleep back into the cage again, but after tossing and tossing for most of the night last night, and coming again in the morning, she fell asleep for less than two hours in total.
But she couldn't sleep for a while.
It wasn't just that he was possessed by some kind of demon, Pei You's shadow came and went before his eyes.
She simply got up and made the winter coat for Pei You again.
If you don’t do well, this winter will be over!
After staying alone for more than half an hour, Linglan arrived late.
I don't know what's wrong, my face is a little red.
But Wen Ning glanced at the quilt that she had tucked away in a ball, and her face was a little red.
"Linglan, you take that... out and throw it away, no, take it out and burn it!" Wen Ning found an excuse for herself, "Just to melt the snow outside."
Then what else is there...
If people see it, don't they know that she consummated the room with Pei You last night?
Linglan didn't ask any more questions, just hugged her and ran out.
After a while, Wen Ning saw the green smoke outside, and nodded in satisfaction.
Just last night, I can't indulge Pei You like that in the future.
Sit and sew the buttons on the clothes for more than half an hour, and finally feel a little sleepy, so I plan to lie down. Unexpectedly, before she took off her clothes, Linglan took a letter and sent it in.
It was Duan Rushuang who invited her to Luoxuan Pavilion for tea.
She and Duan Rushuang occasionally meet on letterheads. Duan Rushuang is illiterate, so naturally she can't write, so she usually asks someone to write it for her.
Therefore, the handwriting on the letter paper is unfamiliar, and Wen Ning is not surprised.
Luoxuan Pavilion is indeed the place where she and Duan Rushuang often meet, she has no doubts.
Duan Rushuang took the initiative to make an appointment, usually to discuss important matters. Wen Ning also didn't sleep, changed her clothes and went out with Linglan through the east door.
Guogong Mansion is not far from Luoxuan Pavilion, and both of them are men's clothes, so naturally they didn't call for a carriage.
I thought it would be fine today, so it would be good to walk around outside, but I didn't want to just turn into a slightly deserted street, a few people rushed out in front of me, and grabbed her.
Linglan reacted quickly, and immediately stood in front of her, but was thrown away without hesitation.
Wen Ning didn't even have time to react to what was going on, and before she could yell, Shiliu had already rushed out: "Madam, please go home quickly!"
Followed by a slender eagle whistle.
Wen Ning didn't dare to wait any longer, and ran away when she heard the sound of fighting behind her.
The target of those people is not Linglan, she should be fine;
Five or six men in black, sixteen and one of them couldn't stop them, but his eagle whistle should have summoned the nearby hidden guards, and he could block it for a while.
Who is going to catch her?
Fortunately, they are not far from the Duke's Mansion, and she should be safe when she returns home.
Wen Ning pulled up her clothes and ran, seeing the Duke's Mansion just around the corner, she felt a dull pain in the back of her neck, her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness.
