Invincible son

Duke of Wei's mansion, the main hall.

This hall has no hall name so far, and Pei Yue doesn't seem to have arty ideas, so there is only a middle hall written by Cao Huai, a great calligrapher in the former Wei Dynasty, hanging on the north wall.

Liu Xian looked at Pei Yue who was sitting at the bottom, glanced at the bandaged right arm, and said solemnly: "I brought two imperial physicians, Pei Qing still let them have a look."

Pei Yue did not refuse, but saluted and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The two imperial doctors carefully removed the cable tie, and saw a deep wound on Pei Yue's right arm. Although the bleeding had stopped, one could still imagine the danger of the situation at that time.If it wasn't for his extremely deep internal energy and the blade being deflected, this blade might have severed his arm.

Liu Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Pei Yue broke his arm, there would be unpredictable disturbances in the capital.

Before he came to visit Pei Yue, he had already received a secret report about the intensified drills in the Beiying. Although the tens of thousands of elites did not change, the atmosphere of inactivity was even more worrying.

From a king's point of view, it is naturally inappropriate for a courtier to have such prestige.However, after experiencing the disputes at the end of the Kaiping Dynasty, Liu Xian also understood the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.If one wants to unify the world, it is necessary to reuse capable military relatives like Pei Yue, and they will definitely establish their own prestige in the army.

Moreover, the officers and men of the Northern Camp did not do anything special. The drills were their duty, and no one could criticize them.

The imperial doctor helped Pei Yue put on the wound medicine in the palace, and after re-bandaging it, he respectfully said to Liu Xian: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Duke Wei's injury is not serious, and he needs to rest for about half a month. Fortunately, it was only a traumatic injury, not If you hurt your muscles and bones, as long as you pay attention to rest, there will be no serious problems in the future."

Liu Xian nodded, waved his hands and ordered them to retreat, then looked into Pei Yuechunche's eyes, hesitantly said: "Pei Qing, where did this assassin come from?"

Pei Yue pondered for a moment, then revealed a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, after much deliberation, I have made many enemies over the years. There are at least five or six possibilities. It is really impossible to determine the identity of the assassin."

This statement is not false.

Pei Yue's rise to Qingyun relied on his military exploits, in other words, the ladder made of countless heads, from the first banditry that entered Hengduan Mountain to eliminate it, to countless battles on the border, to the suppression of two rebellions in the capital, he died directly or indirectly. There are countless people in hand, and in this case, anyone may give up everything and invite a master to assassinate.

Liu Xian nodded slightly, and said again: "Before I left the palace, my queen mother specially asked me to pass a few words to Pei Qing."

Pei Yue was tall and straight, and said solemnly: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Liu Xiandao: "The queen mother said that Pei Qing has made great contributions to the country, and she is a minister who has helped and protected the country. Therefore, no matter who is behind this assassination, the imperial court will never be lenient and must be dealt with strictly."

Pei Yue said emotionally: "The empress dowager's caring heart, I am so grateful that I can't express it in words. I should devote myself to state affairs and dare not slack off."

Liu Xian waved his hand and said: "This is what I should do, Pei Qing doesn't need to do this. You just rest and recuperate in the mansion. I have ordered Taishitai Pavilion, Luan Yiwei, Jingdu Mansion, Garrison Division and the Ministry of Punishment to work together to catch the assassin as soon as possible." , give Pei Qing some justice."

"I thank Your Majesty Long En!"

Pei Yue stood up and saluted.

Liu Xiansui left with the inner eunuch of the palace guards, and Pei Yue personally sent them outside the gate of the mansion. Watching the emperor's guard of honor slowly leave Fuqian Street, he still stood still for a long time, and then turned back blankly. The solid gate of the Duke's Mansion Close it tightly.

Pei Yue walked slowly to Qingya Xiaozhu, moving his right arm quite carefully on the way, complex emotions gradually appeared in his eyes.

Ye Qi stood on the porch, staring fixedly at his right arm, and asked, "Has the emperor noticed any abnormalities?"

Pei Yue shook his head, stretched out his left hand to hold Ye Qi's palm, led her into the Nuan Pavilion, and said after a long time, "Is everything okay in the mansion?"

Ye Qi said softly: "Sister Zhen'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she only said that if you didn't want to protect her, you would definitely not need to take the risk yourself, let alone suffer such a serious injury. Let her calm down, she should not continue to be sad now. Sister Lin and Taohua are not much better, but they dare not tell you in front of you, naturally they don't want you to rush forward when encountering such things in the future. In fact, they both I know, you regard your soldiers as brothers and don't want them to die in vain, but..."

She sighed, and said: "We women only hope that our husband will live a long and safe life."

Pei Yue was both moved and ashamed, and said: "It's not that I deliberately hide it from them, it's just because this time the plan involves a lot, and I don't tell them because I don't want them to worry for nothing."

Ye Qi couldn't help giving him a blank look, and said angrily, "Aren't they worried now?"

Pei Yue pulled her to sit on the same couch, and slowly said: "It's just a trauma, and it's not a muscle injury. Now that they are giving birth in the mansion, they only need to worry about it for a while, and they won't sleep well every day. "

Ye Qi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true."

Pei Yue recalled the conversation with Liu Xian just now, and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty won't suspect me, at least not right now, but he still brought two imperial physicians to check on my injuries, which shows that the nobleman in the palace is always worried .”

Ye Qidao: "Is this why you made up your mind?"

Pei Yue frowned and said: "Master Mo Haoli told me before he passed away that he would give me a gift in return. At that time, I thought it meant that the influence of his death would overwhelm the world's comments on my identity. After thinking about it carefully Thinking about it, I don’t think it should be that simple, it’s hard to say whether this gift in return is good or bad.”

He paused for a while, and said a little tiredly: "As for Empress Dowager Wu, she will not be as innocent as Liu Xian, so she is naturally very wary of me. If that's all, I can probably bear it, but she used my suggestion to send Yue-zhang Transferring to the Western Territory, this matter has exceeded my bottom line."

"She may not do anything to the Marquis of Guangping."

"The key lies in how the situation will develop. It is inevitable that Western Wu and Southern Zhou will jointly send troops. What I can't confirm now is their specific strategy. However, Xie Xiao sent someone to contact me earlier, wanting me to start a war on the border. This is to help him regain his military power. I didn't believe what he said at first, but after Xu Churong sent someone to send the information, I was even more sure that this was a situation."

"Does he want the oriole to be behind?"

"It should be so. Since the war is bound to come, I can only choose to clean up the hostile forces in the court before the battle. If I can't grasp most of the power in the court in advance, I am worried that there will be people from behind during the battle." Cold arrow."

Ye Qi sighed softly, a distressed look unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

Pei Yue smiled, raised his hand to caress her cheek, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't give those people another chance this time."
