After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 118
Jin Milan saw Liu Zhaorong getting close to Sheng Baoling at this moment, although she had her own plans in her heart, she still didn't want to see such a scene.

Gao Xiuyi on the side usually talked a lot, but now he was quiet, just watching a few people talking.

She also understands the situation in front of her, Jin Guiyi's heart is attached to the official family now, and Liu Zhaorong probably feels that the official family's work will not work, so she surrenders to Sheng Baoling instead.

It's just that Liu Zhaorong's change is too big, making people suspicious.

I heard that yesterday, the little emperor intentionally went to Liu Zhaorong's place, but in the end he didn't stay. Therefore, it wasn't that the little emperor didn't care about Liu Zhaorong and couldn't remember Liu Zhaorong, and it wasn't because Liu Zhaorong fell out of favor that he turned to Sheng Baoling.

There are other reasons for this.

The reason for this is either related to Liu Zhaorong, or it is related to the little emperor.

But even though Gao Xiuyi had some guesses in her heart, she couldn't think of a reason for it when she thought about it more deeply.

Liu Zhaorong felt guilty for not being able to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday a few days ago, so she kept saying apologetic words.

Sheng Baoling said a few words of relief, but he didn't give any more thoughtful words.

Although Liu Zhaorong reminded her earlier, she also saw other problems from another side, and she couldn't get close no matter what.

There was a period of time before when Liu Zhaorong's words and deeds were extremely weird. At that time, he only felt weird, but couldn't figure out the reason. Now, knowing that she knows some of the little emperor's thoughts, it can be seen that she has already known it.

She was quietly learning from herself and imitating herself, so as to show her favor to the little emperor.

Even though this kind of behavior did not cause any real harm to Sheng Baoling, she still felt a little disgusted in her heart, especially when she thought of what the little emperor had done to Liu Zhaorong, she couldn't help but feel nauseous.

So much so that at this moment, seeing Liu Zhaorong, I couldn't help but think about those things.

At this moment, the stomach is a little noisy.

So much so that when Liu Zhaorong came down now, she had been courting Sheng Baoling in all kinds of ways, but Sheng Baoling's attitude was flat, obviously unwilling to get closer, and she still looked distant and indifferent.

On the contrary, Jian Jia discovered that at this moment, she saw some shadows of Mr. Pei on her own mother.

The two became more and more alike.

Jian Jia couldn't help but sigh in her heart, saying that the young couple will become more and more alike, and now, she has seen a little bit from Mr. Pei and Niangniang.

If this continues, I don't know how.

For some reason, she thought about it, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

After a while, Sheng Baoling felt tired and sent them away.

After the people left, Qiuyi came in and said something to Sheng Baoling in a low voice. Taishi Lou entered the palace. He had been spying with the little emperor for half an hour now, and no one outside was allowed to enter, keeping them far away. Yes, as if plotting something.

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, and ordered people to continue watching, paying close attention to any troubles around the little emperor.

As for the little emperor, because of Li Fang's incident last time, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Punishment were implicated. Now, the people in the Ministry of Account and the Ministry of Punishment are not his cronies, and because of this matter, they are unhappy.

Taishi Lou lost two great powers, and felt unhappy in his heart.

Now, one of the people in charge of the household department and the criminal department is Qi Jun, who is close to Prince Jing, and the other has a close relationship with Pei Ci recently.

How to reassure people.

The little emperor endured it for more than half a year, but now after this incident, he couldn't bear it anymore, he just wanted to get rid of Pei Ci and King Jing.

Master Lou also thought so.

It's just that it might be easy to get rid of Pei Ci, but it's difficult to get rid of King Jing. King Jing holds the military power and has many guards around him, so it's really hard to do it.

The little emperor was quite displeased, and in the end he could only agree, except for Pei Ci first, and then Jing Wangrong.

"Teacher, are you sure?"

Taishi Lou's eyes were dim, and the murderous intent had been secretly in his heart long ago, when Pei Ci was targeting him everywhere, now, the best time has come.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely arrange it properly, so that Pei Ci will never return!"

...

The next day, there was a flood in the south, and house residents rioted into Beijing, and even some house residents sued local officials.

The little emperor was furious, and ordered Pei Ci to be an imperial envoy, to go south to provide disaster relief, to distribute food, to visit the people, and to investigate the matter.

It stands to reason that this matter could not fall on Pei Ci's head, plus Pei Ci's health is not good, how can he travel far?

But at this moment, the little emperor appointed Pei Ci to go.

Many people noticed something was wrong, including Sheng Baoling.

Sheng Baoling frowned. I'm afraid that the little emperor is going to take action against Pei Ci. He may not be sure. On the way south, he has already set up manpower secretly, waiting to take Pei Ci's life. Then, Pei Ci's life will be taken away. Death, on the heads of those rioting victims.

Sheng Baoling was even more disappointed at once, natural disasters are merciless, but for the little emperor, it became a good opportunity to murder a good minister.

It's ironic.

Why does the self in the dream feel that such a person can become a generation of Mingjun, and thus drag Pei Ci down?

Sheng Baoling couldn't figure it out.

Is she such a confused person?
After receiving the order, when he returned to Pei's mansion, the housekeeper helped him pack his bags, cursing and showing no sign of his usual prudence.

"Your Excellency is already in poor health, but the floods in the south have been extremely violent, and people from all over the country have rioted. The officials let you go at this time. Isn't this intentional to save your life?"

"My lord, do you want to intercede with the empress dowager?"

The empress dowager sent these precious medicinal materials and supplements to Pei's mansion several times. She cared so much for his lord, she must be a person who cherishes talents, and she can think about her courtiers.

The housekeeper had a thorough thought, and in fact, what he thought was indeed correct.

If Pei Ci came to Sheng Baoling, Sheng Baoling would definitely intervene in this matter because he cared about Pei Ci beyond the relationship between monarch and minister.

But Pei Ci couldn't ask for help, let alone Sheng Baoling.

Pei Ci said in a deep voice, "It's okay."

This trip, he also had to go.

Because in his previous life, he didn't have this kind of business, and he also wanted to know if there would be any surprises in it, things that he didn't expect.

At this time, Pei Wan heard the news, hurriedly took the token that Sheng Baoling had given her earlier, entered the palace, and begged in front of Sheng Baoling.

"Empress Dowager, my brother's health has been worsening day by day. There is a lot of rain and floods in the south, and my brother needs to rest at this time. I beg the Empress Dowager to explain to the officials and take it back!"

The concern on Pei Wan's face cannot be concealed, which shows how much she cares about her elder brother Pei Ci.

Sheng Baoling frowned, she naturally knew that she couldn't go on this trip.

She also didn't want Pei to resign, but if she didn't go on this trip, she didn't know what tricks the little emperor had behind her...
