Chapter 155: You are just like your elder sister
Pei Qi covered his face and lowered his head guiltily.
On the contrary, Xingluo beside him held his belly and pointed at the mess in front of him and laughed.
Even Xu Chi couldn't help laughing and coughed lightly.
After all, all these carriages that had accidents were his work.
Rong Qin crawled out from the dusty ruins, covered in dust and looking extremely disheveled.
There was a hint of anger in his dark eyes, and he stared straight at Pei Qi with his head lowered.
Pei Qi only felt a chill on his back, and on that cold winter day, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
No matter what, Rong Qin helped her get the invitation letter and the search warrant. Morally and morally, she was wrong in doing this.
But at that time, in order to prevent Rong Qin from changing his mind, she had no choice but to resort to this last resort. She had never really thought about the aftermath...
"Um, Lord Rong?"
Pei Qi took a few steps forward, rubbed against Rong Qin with an apologetic look, and pointed at his carriage: "If you don't mind, can we... share a carriage?"
……
Not long after, concubines entered the palace, and the daughter of the Pei family was conferred the title of noble lady.
Because of this, Pei Yunjiang's status in the court became higher and higher. Although it was not as high as what Pei Qi had given him back then, he was already content with the fact that he had gone from being demoted to a commoner to returning to the court.
That day, after Pei Yunjiang left the court, he went straight to Fu'an Palace, where lived Concubine Nian, who had just entered the palace.
Pei Nian walked out of the inner hall dragging her heavy furry skirt. Seeing that the person coming was Pei Yunjiang, she ran over excitedly.
"father!"
Pei Yunjiang sat down, patted Pei Nian's shoulder gently, and scolded with a smile: "You have been in the palace for two days, why are you still so reckless? Aren't you afraid of offending His Majesty?"
Pei Qi pouted and put his hands into his sleeves: "What are you afraid of? His Majesty didn't come here..."
After two days in the palace, she had not found out what the emperor had done, nor had she heard whose palace he had visited.
It was as if the people entering the palace were not concubines, but a few palace maids.
Pei Yunjiang had expected this.
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so it's normal that he doesn't lust after women. You should learn the rules well. After some time, when His Majesty is done with his work, maybe he will come over."
Pei Yunjiang didn't waste any more words on this matter. He waved to the servants who followed him and said, "Here, this is the Yulu porridge your mother made this morning. She was afraid that you were not used to the food in the palace. Here are some side dishes. Try them."
Soon, the table was filled with the plates and bowls brought by Pei Yunjiang.
Pei Nian's eyes lit up slightly and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Mom is so kind."
She clapped her hands, picked up the chopsticks and casually picked up a piece of greens, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully: "Delicious!"
"What a pity! I don't know how difficult it will be to see my mother again in the future..."
As she spoke, Pei Nian felt a faint bitterness in her heart. She put down her chopsticks and was no longer in the mood to eat.
When my youngest daughter first gets married and leaves home, she will always miss him.
Pei Yunjiang rubbed her head as if to comfort her, glanced at the bowl of porridge, and comforted her: "It's okay, when you miss home, tell His Majesty. His Majesty is reasonable and will definitely let your mother enter the palace."
"Fill your stomach first before the porridge gets cold."
"Well, thank you dad."
Pei Nian took the bowl of porridge, scooped a spoonful and blew it to his lips.
But before Pei Nian could put it into his mouth, a sharp voice was heard outside the door. "The Emperor has arrived——"
It’s Eunuch Wanshun.
"Your Majesty!" Pei Nian squatted on the spot, forgetting to put down even the spoonful of porridge hanging in the air.
How could he come here suddenly without any sign?
Pei Yunjiang snatched the porridge and pulled Pei Nian to the door to greet him.
Unfortunately, they were still a step too late. Jiang Mingcang had already walked in quickly with Wan Shun.
"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"
"I am here to pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Jiang Mingcang glanced at the two people, one squatting and one kneeling. Their faces looked normal, and it was impossible to tell whether they were sad or happy.
He raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Everyone, please stand up. This is not the court. I am just here to take a look. No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Mingcang walked to the table on his own, picked up a dish with the extra bowl and chopsticks, and gave the two of them a seat. He dismissed the rest of the palace servants and only kept Eunuch Wanshun.
"Not bad." Jiang Mingcang nodded with satisfaction and inadvertently cast his eyes on Pei Yunjiang.
"My dear minister, you left the court in a hurry just now. I thought you had something urgent to do. It turns out that you came to see your daughter."
"Why, are you still worried that I will mistreat my beloved concubine?"
The seemingly teasing words made Pei Yunjiang sweat on his back.
"I dare not...but this morning my wife made some food for you, and I just brought it here. I have no other intention."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Mingcang nodded in understanding, but put down his chopsticks early after taking a few bites, staring at Pei Yunjiang with a half-smile: "I heard that you just came back from Chaozhou not long ago?"
"Chaozhou is a wealthy and prosperous place, no worse than the imperial capital. My dear, have fun, huh?"
The seemingly unintentional words inexplicably carried a chilling feeling.
He had already known about Pei Yunjiang's leaving the imperial capital without permission.
As for what Pei Yunjiang was planning, he knew what was going on just by moving his toes.
Pei Yunjiang immediately knelt down and buried his head in the ground: "I am terrified!"
Seeing this, Pei Nian was completely confused and didn't know what was going on, so he followed Pei Yunjiang and knelt down.
Jiang Mingcang snorted coldly, stood up from the main seat, walked straight to the bowl of Yu Lu porridge that Pei Nian had not touched, and stirred it gently with a spoon.
He picked up the porridge, put it to his nose and sniffed it a few times, and asked, "This porridge smells good."
"I wonder what's in it?"
Things have come to this point, no matter how confused Pei Yunjiang is, he knows what Jiang Mingcang is here for.
He fell to the ground, kowtowed several times, and hastily admitted his fault: "I shouldn't have left the imperial capital without permission. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
"Is that all?" Jiang Mingcang turned his head and handed the porridge to Eunuch Wan Shun, then turned around and glanced at Pei Yunjiang and Pei Nian.
Eunuch Wan Shun took out the silver needle he had prepared and inserted it into the bowl of porridge.
Pei Nian saw this and had no idea what Jiang Mingcang meant. He tilted his head in confusion and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Could it be possible that his father poisoned the porridge?
Jiang Mingcang heard this and slowly walked to Pei Nian and pulled him up from the ground: "You are just like your elder sister. You have no defense against this old man at all."
When Eunuch Wanshun pulled out the silver needle, the needle tip had turned completely black. One could imagine what had been added to the porridge.
"Cold poison, the unique secret medicine of Beiding Sheyuan Hou, needs to be taken at a certain time to relieve the antidote for the toxic attack to suppress it." Jiang Mingcang sneered, pulled Pei Nian behind him, and felt sick when looking at Pei Yunjiang's pale face.
"You first used Bu Jiantian to control the eldest daughter of the state teacher and forced her to work for you. Now you are going to use the cold poison on your second daughter. Pei Yunjiang, this method has been tried and tested by you time and time again."
