Chapter 540 The Godfather Has His Own Ways to Protect Himself

The emperor immediately wrote an abdication edict and formally appointed the crown prince as the next emperor!
The imperial edict will be read aloud at the morning court session tomorrow.

To be on the safe side, Pei Yuanjun assigned three times the number of secret guards to the Crown Prince.

Then he gave all the secret guards that Prince Zhengyang had entrusted to him to the Crown Prince!
Jing Xuan, holding the token, looked at Pei Yuanjun in astonishment: "Godfather, you..."

"Your Highness, these are the royal guards' elite. They were passed down from your great-grandfather to your master, then from your master to me, and now I'm officially handing them over to you! Remember, in the future, you don't need to risk your life yourself; you can order the guards to do it! Shi Song is the leader of the guards!"

"Godfather, why...why did you give it to me?"

Pei Yuanjun gave him a complicated look: "This is for your own protection. This way you won't have to worry about the Wei family threatening you anymore. If you don't like them, just kill them. But don't touch Prince Zhao and the Wei family yet. Let them confront the Wei family first. You need to secretly develop your own power! When you have enough power, you can uproot the Wei and Zhao families."

"What about your godfather? What will you do with them if you give them to me?"

The crown prince pressed for an answer, sounding somewhat worried.

Pei Yuanjun coldly scrutinized him, noticing that the worry in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

However, there was still a slight tension in his heart; these bodyguards were exactly what he needed right now.

Although he was worried about them, he really wanted them.

Pei Yuanjun withdrew his gaze; he had also learned to feign in the palace.

He's no longer as innocent as before; he's learned to scheme. But that's a good thing; after they left, he'll have the ability to protect himself.

"Your godfather has his own ways of protecting himself, and he can also protect your godmother and her daughter."

After speaking, he turned and left the palace. The emperor had already woken up, and the ministers immediately dispersed. Although Prince Zhao hated Pei Yuanjun to the core, he had no choice but to pull himself together and instruct the envoys from the four kingdoms to arrange their lodging and food.

Because as soon as these envoys arrived, the emperor immediately invited them into the palace, saying that he had urgent business to discuss, and everyone came out of curiosity.

It turned out that there was nothing seriously wrong at all; he was just confused by his illness.

So they were in a bad mood. They had traveled for so long, hadn't had a hot meal, and weren't allowed to rest properly. The faces of the envoys from the four countries were extremely sour.

Prince Zhao endured the cold treatment and constant criticism from the people of the four kingdoms. The people from the Great Luo Kingdom and the Wanbao Kingdom were especially difficult to deal with.

Not only were they picky, but they also belittled his Prince Zhao's mansion to the point of being worthless. He suppressed his anger, entertained them, and then escorted them back to the post station one by one.

I didn't get to rest until almost four in the morning, but I had to go to court again at five. I really felt that receiving envoys was not something a human being could do.

This Pei Yuanjun really knows how to avoid a life of leisure.

He originally wanted to discuss matters privately with the Great Luo Kingdom, but with all four kingdoms present, it seemed inappropriate to be alone with them!
Otherwise, he would give people something to gossip about. Could it be that Pei Yuanjun has already discovered his secret contact with the Great Luo Kingdom?
His eyes narrowed slightly. If that were the case, then today's events were a warning to him.
With that thought, the servant outside was already calling him to get up and go to court.

Having not slept all night, Prince Zhao's expression was stiff!
Pei Yuanjun left the palace at midnight yesterday and unintentionally saw Zhao Baoye waiting for him on his usual route. He had nothing to say to Zhao Baoye.

The Zhao family sent people to kill him. Regardless of whether Zhao Baoye was involved or not, he could never be friends with him again, and the survival of the Zhao family would have nothing to do with him from now on.

So he vanished from the street in an instant, and returned to the Prime Minister's residence in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Baoye waited until almost dawn but Pei Yuanjun still hadn't arrived, and returned to the Zhao family dejectedly!
Pei Yuanjun returned quietly, without disturbing anyone, and first took a bath.
