Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 169: Sword, Light, Sword and Shadow

Shen Wenqing's expression changed, and she subconsciously stood in front of Feng Jin.

He knew that news of Wuming's departure and the queen's illness would reach Pei Xiang's ears soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Pei Xiu walked over with a gloomy face, without even lifting the bead curtain, just walked into the inner room with such a big thorn.

"Master Xiang, Your Majesty is ill. If Master Xiang has something to do, come back tomorrow morning."

"If you come back tomorrow morning, will your majesty recover?"

Pei Xiu sneered, staring intently at Shen Wenqing with sharp and deep eyes, Shen Wenqing frowned his handsome eyebrows, and said lightly, "Your Majesty just caught a cold, and he will wake up early tomorrow morning. The night is dark now, and there is no order from His Majesty." , Lord Xiang should not stay in His Majesty's bedroom."

Pei Xiu sneered, "The truth can't, can you?"

"Wen Qing is His Majesty's male favourite, so of course he can."

Shen Wenqing blocked the words back calmly, Pei Xiu's expression turned cold, and the light in his eyes flickered slightly. He was too lazy to argue with Shen Wenqing again, and said coldly, "Get out of the way! I want to check your Majesty's account for the truth. Condition!"

Shen Wenqing had a smile on her face, but her words were cold, "It's fine if there is an imperial physician here. The prime minister is not an imperial physician, so there is no need to make trouble. Presumably the prime minister still has a lot of business to deal with, so Wen Qing will not stay." Master."

Pei Xiu didn't seem to hear Shen Wenqing's eviction order, and strode forward. Shen Wenqing frowned, and stood in front of the dragon couch, refusing to give an inch.

"The truth tells you to go away!"

Pei Xiu yelled sharply, a pair of eyes as sharp as a knife's edge, scratching Shen Wenqing's handsome face, "If you don't get out, don't blame me for treating you like a court lady!"

He was talking about Aunt Zhong. Just now, Aunt Zhong didn't care about her superiority and inferiority, she dared to stop him and was kicked by him.

"Master Xiang, Your Majesty is ill. As a subject, Lord Xiang should go back to review official documents, maintain the government, and share your majesty's worries, instead of adding chaos here!"

Shen Wenqing didn't seem to hear Pei Xiu's threat, and said calmly.

Pei Xiu snorted coldly, "Reviewing official documents, maintaining government affairs, and presiding over the overall situation are things that the real minister does every day. The harem cannot interfere in politics. Don't you know, Shen Wenqing? You are just a male favorite in the harem of your majesty. You can't say a word about it, don't think that if His Majesty pampers you, you can do whatever you want!"

Pei Xiu blocked Shen Wenqing's words back, and the two sides were at each other's lips, you come and go, the palace room is filled with gunpowder smoke.

But no matter what Pei Xiu said, Shen Wenqing would not give an inch, not allowing him to get close to Feng Jin who was on the dragon couch.

Pei Xiu gradually lost his patience. He didn't expect Shen Wenqing to look weak and so stubborn.

With Wuming absent, Shen Wenqing had no choice but to be stubborn. If something happened to the empress, the Jiangnan gentry and the Shen family would all be ruined. He knew the empress's secret, but Prime Minister Pei would never know this secret!Otherwise, it is a big handle!
What Shen Wenqing didn't know was that Pei Xiu knew about it a long time ago, and had been planning to use this secret to drag Feng Jin out of the dragon chair.

"Shen Wenqing, tell the truth one last time, get out! If you don't get out, don't blame the truth for being merciless!"

Pei Xiu shouted sharply, Shen Wenqing remained motionless.

Pei Xiu stared at him coldly, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sinister arc, "Very good! Shen Wenqing, with His Majesty's support, you really have grown a bit more courageous!"

With a flash of cold light, the soft sword at his waist came out of its sheath. The cold light flickered, and the extremely sharp sword was pointed at Shen Wenqing, "Shen Wenqing, let me ask you the truth, should I die, or should I continue to stand here recklessly?"

A light flashed in Shen Wenqing's eyes, and her brows twisted into the word Chuan.

He suddenly looked behind Pei Xiu, his face changed slightly.

When the sound of the long sword piercing through the air came, Pei Xiu's expression froze, and the soft sword in his hand drew a dazzling sword light in the air, facing the person who attacked him from behind.

The long swords struck each other, and the flames splashed everywhere.

Moments later, the two separated.

Seeing that indifferent and beautiful face, Pei Xiu couldn't help snorting, "Fu Zuoshi from the Gate of Death left the Gate of Death and became His Majesty's loyal dog. However, just because you want to kill the truth, It must have been a great idea!"

Fu Yu didn't speak, and several hidden guards flashed out from behind her, the sword in their hands gleamed coldly under the candlelight.

Pei Xiu's face changed slightly, and in a hurry, he forgot about these troublesome hidden guards.

When he received the news that Wuming had left the palace, Pei Xiu felt very proud. He didn't pay much attention to the remaining hidden guards.

But now it seems that these hidden guards have undergone nameless and rigorous training, making them even more troublesome.

He alone, and the guards he could bring into the palace, obviously couldn't deal with these hidden guards and the Imperial Forest Army, and he couldn't make a move in the open, otherwise he would be seized by Qi Laohu and lashed out.

But the reverse is different. He broke into the Queen's bedroom without the Queen's will, and the hidden guards could attack him. Even if he was killed, the civil and military officials would not say anything.

If he exposed the top master Jian Shisan beside him, he would be able to fight, but in that case, both sides would lose, and it would not be good for him.

"Before Mr. Wuming left, he knew that someone would misbehave with His Majesty, so he called back all the hidden guards, and hired a lot of money to guard the palace. If you don't believe me, just try."

Shen Wenqing smiled faintly.

Seeing Shen Wenqing's composed look, Pei Xiu's expression changed again and again, and countless thoughts turned in his mind.

His people couldn't find out what Wuming was doing, they only knew that Wuming had left the imperial capital and was heading north.

North, is he going to northern Xinjiang?
Could it be that the empress was aware of his plan and was going to the Zhong family army in northern Xinjiang to send reinforcements?If this is the case, it is enough to send a hidden guard, why let Wuming go himself?

If the queen really knew about his plan, she should keep Wuming by her side to protect her!
In other words, this is a trap dug by the empress, Wuming didn't leave at all, it's just a false appearance, just waiting for him to jump down...

Pei Xiu's pupils shrank, so if he appeared here tonight, wouldn't he fall into the Queen's trick?

"Pei Qing, what are you doing here?"

Just when Pei Xiu was thinking wildly, a cold and haughty voice came from above the dragon bed, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Shen Wenqing was pleasantly surprised, she turned her head and saw that Feng Jin was indeed awake, sitting upright, with red eyes and bright red eyes, very frightening, Imperial Physician Zhang also saw the Queen's appearance, and trembled in fright.

Shen Wenqing quickly went to support Feng Jin. She was as cold as ice and shivering. Shen Wenqing held her hand and desperately injected her with internal energy. Feng Jin secretly shook his head at him, and said silently: It's useless, Wen Qing.

"I heard that His Majesty is ill, so I came to visit you."

"I'm fine, I just caught the wind and caught the cold, thank you Pei Qing for your concern, the state affairs are heavy, Pei Qing doesn't have to stay here to guard me."

Feng Jin was calm, her tone sounded a little weak, but she was still energetic.

Only Shen Wenqing, who was supporting her, knew that the empress was about to fail.

"It's the time of late spring, Your Majesty should pay more attention to the dragon's body."

As Pei Xiu said, he was about to look forward, but Fu Yu suddenly stepped forward, blocking Pei Xiu's way.

"Pei Qing cares about me so much, I'm really touched. I'm not feeling well, so I won't let Pei Qing talk anymore. Let's back down!"

Pei Xiu remained motionless, looking at the dragon couch with sharp eyes. Sensing his probing gaze, Shen Wenqing turned her body slightly to block Pei Xiu's sight.

Feng Jin's face was as pale as paper, with no blood at all, and a thin layer of frost was condensed on his face.

Her hand firmly grasped Shen Wenqing's wrist, and she did not fall down with Shen Wenqing's support.

Shen Wenqing's eyes sank, she sat on the dragon couch, hugged Feng Jin into her arms, and sternly said to Pei Xiu, "Didn't the Prime Minister hear that? Your Majesty is not feeling well and needs to rest, please step back!"

Shen Wenqing has always been a plain and quiet person, but at this moment, that handsome and gentle face suddenly showed a bit of sternness, which is really impressive.

Pei Xiu stared at him coldly, and Shen Wenqing frowned to meet his gaze without backing down.

The four eyes met, the dark tide was raging, the gunpowder smoke filled the air, and invisible swords, lights and swords flashed in this magnificent and luxurious palace.

After a long time, Pei Xiu finally looked away, turned and left.

Shen Wenqing let out a long breath of relief, only to realize that her palms were already wet with sweat.

As soon as Pei Xiu came out of the queen's bedroom, he immediately called the top expert Jian Shisan, "Can you avoid those hidden guards?"

Jian Shisan replied without thinking, "Yes!"

"Check! The truth is to know what's wrong with the queen! Imperial physician He said that the queen doesn't seem to be catching a cold at all!"

Pei Xiu stared at the palace room where the door was closed again with gloomy eyes, a trace of calculation appeared on his face.
