Jiaohua

Lu Ningjin took the letter back.

Xia Zhaoyi just glanced at it and didn't touch it.

Lu Ningjin then placed the letter on the long table in front of the window.

The blades of Tian Wu's men were very sharp, and they cut into flesh like cutting tofu. However, because of this, the wounds were very neat and easy to deal with.

On the battlefield, Xia Zhaoyi's sewing skills became faster and faster, and there were some stitches so fast that only the shadows of her fingers could be seen.

By the time the stitches were done, Pei Huirao had fainted from the pain.

The women around Xia Zhaoyi stayed to look after her while Xia Zhaoyi washed her fingers and went to the window to read the letter.

Lu Ningjin went out for a while and came back saying that the crisis on the street had been resolved for the time being, but Pei Huirao had to be transferred as soon as possible.

Her men worked quickly and cleaned up the scene in the shortest possible time.

The bloody sheets and cloths were taken to a specially built stove in the backyard. A large pot was placed on top of the stove. The bloody cloths were thrown into the stove and burned. Even the ashes were crushed and scattered on the vegetable patch as fertilizer.

Pei Huirao was transferred through an underground passage.

After finishing his work, Lu Ningjin came back to find Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi is replying.

After closing the door, Lu Ningjin came over and said, "It's all done."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and smiled calmly: "I'll give you some work as soon as I get here."

"These small tasks are not tiring, so let them do more so that they won't get used to it. But I don't understand why Miss Pei would fall into such a trap."

"It's not that she walked into a trap, but that she had nowhere else to go. She knew that the court would use her to establish its authority, execute her in public, and spread the news of her death widely to serve as a warning to others. So in a short period of time, she would become a hot topic of discussion in the capital. Then when she showed up and was arrested, the few words she was going to shout out with hidden secrets would also be known to everyone in the capital."

Lu Ningjin was stunned: "That means Tian Wu suddenly pulled her to save her?"

Xia Zhaoyi sneered, "Yes, but Miss Pei was 'disobedient' and started a fight with him. He hadn't won yet, so he got angry and wanted to kill her instead of saving her."

Lu Ningjin laughed: "I thought you were affectionate and loyal, but in fact you were hypocritical and impulsive."

After Xia Zhaoyi finished writing the letter and packed it up, Lu Ningjin took her away: "Ali, where are you going next? Are you going to look for Yan Qinglin again?"

"Well, take a night off and go again tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning? If you go to look for her in the early morning..."

Xia Zhaoyi said: "Don't be afraid, they can't beat me. Even if they can beat me, they can't catch me."

Lu Ningjin was worried: "Then, will the situation be out of control?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled softly: "No, the troops from the south are coming soon. Besides, I have something to tell you."

She took out the letters she had just read and pushed them on the table: "Shen Lie will pass through Tongdu, and he may stop by to see Ying Jinliang."

Lu Ningjin was delighted, his eyes lit up: "Ali, then..."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "I have already done Ying Jinliang a favor before, and I won't give him face again this time."

The person who did a big enough favor back then was Lin Qingfeng.

"Ali, you're so nice!" Lu Ningjin walked around the table and hugged her, his eyes red, "Shen Lie is also good, you are all so nice!!"

Lu Ningjin hated Ji Hong, and also hated Lin Qingfeng and the burly follower beside her.

But the person she hated the most was Ying Jinliang.

Although the person who persecuted her and her brother in their childhood was Ji Hong, Ying Jinliang was a useless person without his own opinion.

But Master Ji Hong acted like this just to support Ying Jinliang.

Ying Jinliang has received all kinds of benefits, he cannot be an innocent person. Even if he did nothing, he sat in that position and enjoyed the benefits of that position.

At night, Xia Zhaoyi took a bath and changed clothes. Before going to bed, his servant came to report Pei Huirao's situation, saying that Pei Huirao mentioned a location and hoped that they would send someone to pick her up.

Xia Zhaoyi sent three people and asked them to bring enough food and clothing for the death warriors and not to bring them back to the city.

After arriving in Beijing this time, Xia Zhaoyi had actually been quite idle, so she did not leave her room until the hour of Si the next day.

Used to being alone, she traveled lightly and simply, heading for Yan Qinglin's residence, which was the former site of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

After Yan Qinglin came back from Pingyuan Temple, he rarely went out and almost never left the house.

Today, she went to the morning court. She had no official position, but she had real power and a title, and she had never been absent since the first day Song Zhiyi ascended the throne. She was at the head of all officials, and the other side was vacant, with no one to match it, and it was reserved for Jin Hongkang, the Prince of Xunping, who had been far away in Songzhou.

She suddenly appeared at the morning court today, giving Song Zhiyi a big fright.

Having been emperor for several years, Song Zhiyi looked helpless when he saw Yan Qinglin.

However, this sense of helplessness was fleeting, and he quickly calmed himself down.

As he ascended the throne, all officials bowed to him, and Yan Qinglin also knelt down.

Song Zhiyi raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please stand up!"

All the officials thanked the Lord for his grace, and only after the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department shouted "Please" loudly did they stand up.

Yan Qinglin raised his head and looked at Song Zhiyi, his eyes straight and bright.

This man whom she loved with all her heart, now she hated him more than she loved him, but the hatred was also deep-rooted.

Song Zhiyi didn't look at her.

These days, Song Zhiyi's morning court sessions have been very busy.

Last night, Tian Wu and Pei Huirao had a fight in a box outside Yan Qinglin's gate, and he learned the news in the middle of the night.

Now it seems that Tian Wu's hair volume has indeed decreased a lot——

Apart from this incident, there has been unrest in the Daping Dynasty recently.

Song Zhiyi was exhausted as he listened to everything. Then, when it came to the old part, the two factions in the court started arguing.

Naturally, the matter between Tian Wu and Pei Huirao would not escape the mouths of Ding Renzhong and Mu Hengxiong.

As they continued to curse, Sun Ziyi was also involved.

After all, before Pei Huirao left Beijing, she broke into Sun Ziyi's general's mansion, stabbed Sun Ziyi's wife Guo Wanwan, and then rescued a beautiful concubine.

At first, he was afraid that Yan Qinglin was here, so he got too excited and started scolding, not caring about Yan Qinglin or Yan Bailin. He just said whatever he wanted and the quarrel was extremely indecent.

After Song Zhiyi tried to persuade him a few times, he just watched the show perfunctorily and did not try to persuade him any more.

Finally, Yan Qinglin, who could no longer bear it, suddenly shouted, turned around and asked Ding Renzhong and Mu Hengxiong if they could shut up.

The woman's voice was already sharp, and her angry roar caused the court to fall into complete silence.

Then Yan Qinglin looked at Song Zhiyi and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Ding and Lord Mu have no respect for the monarch and are causing a fight in the court. They should be punished!"

Song Zhiyi looked uncomfortable again.

Yan Qinglin called out in a deep voice: "Your Majesty!"

Song Zhiyi took a long breath and said calmly, "Punishment."

As soon as the morning came, Song Zhiyi kicked things around and cleaned the table.

The eunuchs came forward to persuade him, and Tian Wu and Sun Ziyi who came with them also tried to persuade him.

They both had a bad feeling.

The person who truly disrespects the monarch is Yan Qinglin.

Ding Renzhong and Mu Hengxiong were driven out by the current dynasty and are not here now, but their colleagues are here.

Tian Wu and Sun Ziyi stared back at them openly when they looked at them.

The loser does not lose the formation.

But these officials were not pushovers, so they all looked at Tian Wu's hairstyle and then whispered in mockery.

Tian Wu became even angrier.

His scalp still hurts now; Pei Huirao had hit him very hard.

Thinking of his beautiful black hair, Tian Wu wanted to kill someone.

At this time, Song Zhiyi got angry and stopped to catch his breath.

Tian Wu put his thoughts aside and was about to say something to comfort the monarch when a young eunuch suddenly ran in from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Madam Yan went to the harem and went straight to see Concubine Cao!" (End of this chapter)
