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

Chapter 75 Will you rebel?

Hearing this, Pei Ci frowned, fearing that this was a trap, a dug trap waiting for him to jump.

After hearing this, the butler felt something unusual, "My lord, I'm afraid that the officials are plotting against you... You can't go to this palace."

Not only can't go, but at this time, you should resign from office and get rid of the relationship with the queen mother, so as to save your life.

But the little palace maid was red-eyed and kowtowed again and again, "I beg Mr. Pei to save my empress, my empress has always treated adults well, please take into account the old love, please save my empress!"

The butler had a complicated look in his eyes, but the little palace maid had a simple mind and didn't know that this was a trap that had been dug long ago, waiting for his lord to jump into it.

Pei Ci's expression was serious, "Do you think that the one in the palace will let me get out of here after setting up a trap?"

If he died, the entire Pei family would still have a chance to survive. If he lived, the little emperor would definitely kill them all.

This trip to the palace, he would die if he entered, if he didn't enter, he would implicate everyone.

The housekeeper choked up in pain, the emperor's son, this is forcing his family to rebel.

"But there is still time, let's go tonight..."

Pei Ci interrupted the butler with a cold expression, as if he had already made a decision, "The game is over, Uncle, let's dismiss the people in the mansion. Before the curfew tonight, there are still you, don't stay in the mansion again."

After speaking, Pei Ci turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

All his life, he has been planning for the country, the country, and the people, but he made a mistake at the very beginning when he planned to the end.

For a promise made by the first emperor back then, how many lives have been ruined now.

The name of a generation of virtuous ministers sounds nice, but it contains a lot of helplessness and blood and tears.

Today, he wants to fight for himself and for that person in the palace, even though the defeat is already certain.

If she dies, it would be nice to be closer to her...

The butler tightly covered his mouth, full of grief, looking at Pei Ci's figure, he knew that his family was determined to die.

Only when he died, the emperor would not pursue him secretly, and the entire Pei family could escape.

The empress dowager left the chance of giving birth to the adults.

But adults, they leave the chance of life to them.

The little maid was pure-hearted and didn't understand what it meant, but seeing Pei Ci's reaction, she knew in her heart that she was obliged to save the empress.

But at this time, Pei Ci was no longer the prime minister who was able to control the city of Bianjing and the imperial court by just relying on his pen and ink. Now he, as well as the entire Pei Mansion, were just an empty shell.

Like Sheng Baoling, he has no ability to resist.

...

The next day, when it was snowing heavily, Pei Ci took off his purple official uniform and wore a white dress. Upon closer inspection, it was very similar to the white dress Sheng Baoling wore when he first met in the Sheng Mansion.

But the difference is that the hand that can only lift the pen holder is now holding a long knife, step by step, stepping up the long steps of the golden palace.

The soldiers surrounded him, all pointing their blades at Pei Ci, but backed away again and again. The leading general showed an unbearable look, "Master Pei! You'd better go!"

"It's too late to go now!"

"Don't embarrass the little ones anymore..."

None of them wanted to stab the blade in their hands into the body of a good minister.

But the sacred order cannot be violated.

Now that the empress dowager has long lost her power, Pei Ci can just go away, why bother to come to die alone!

He knew that there was a dead end, but he still wanted to die.

Pei Ci, however, became firmer and heavier step by step, staring directly at the golden palace in front of him.

What came to mind was the voice of Sheng Baoling laughing with him...

"Pei Qing, if one day, this prosperous world doesn't go as you and I wish, will you go against it?"

"My minister won't."

"That's right, you are old-fashioned, even if the world doesn't do what you want, you will end up in a dead end... But that's good, so you can survive."

At this time, Pei Ci's heart was clear and clear, and he had already understood that at that time, Sheng Baoling had already understood that the little emperor had murderous intentions, and those words were a temptation, but also for peace of mind.

But at that time, his words only answered the other half.

If this world cannot do what you and I wish, I will not turn against you.

But if this world betrays you, the humble minister is incompetent, and he will risk his life, even death will walk with you...

The color of snow covered the blood color of the long steps above the Golden Palace layer by layer, and Pei Ci woke up in severe pain, sweating profusely.

He lifted the quilt, slumped down from the bed, walked to the table, poured a glass of cold water, then opened the door and walked into the yard.

It was not yet dawn at this time, the dew was heavy, and the coolness hit his body, bringing him a sliver of clarity.

I don't know how long I haven't dreamed about these things, which are old things in my previous life.

Perhaps today, Sheng Gong's temptation made him think about the past again.

This time, he was careful, hiding his thoughts, not as close to Sheng Baoling as he was in his previous life, but before he did anything else, everything seemed to be developing in the direction he wanted to go.

During this period, what happened that even I didn't notice.

This is something that Pei Ci has never figured out.

"My lord?" The servant who fetched water in the yard was stunned when he saw Pei Ci, "Why did your lord get up so early today?"

It would be later on weekdays, but at this moment, except for the workers, no one in the mansion had woken up yet.

After seeing someone, Pei Ci withdrew his thoughts and sat down beside the stone table and chair in the courtyard, "I woke up after dreaming too much."

The servant just asked out of curiosity, he didn't expect Pei Ci to answer his question at all, but now, he didn't know how to answer.

The courtyard was clean, Pei Ci sat for a while, and then went back to the house to change clothes, ready to leave the mansion and go to court.

At the same time, Sheng Baoling woke up from a dream and was not in a good mood. She once again had the nightmare of Pei Ci entering the palace alone to die.

During the court meeting, the little emperor noticed that Sheng Baoling was a little out of his mind, and looking at the bottom, Pei Ci was also not in good spirits, with a glint of gloom in his eyes.

King Jing has recently taken over some tasks and is busy all day long, but they are all thankless tasks. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the little emperor has no intention of reusing them. The idea of ​​military power in hand.

Qi Jun had talked with King Jing several times about this matter, how could King Jing not be clear in his heart.

The little emperor lost his interest, "My dear friends, you still have something to play, if you don't..."

"Your Majesty! The old minister has something to play!" The voice was urgent and deep.

A flash of impatience flashed in the little emperor's eyes, "What's Liang Aiqing going to say?"

"The old minister wants to report that Li Fang, Minister of the Household Department, abused his power for personal gain, and corrupted him. Li Fang's son has been involved in many murder cases, but he has not been thoroughly investigated and convicted so far!"

"Liang Yu! You don't want to spitting blood!" Li Fang's face was red and green, pointing at Liang Yu, he cursed, and then directed at the Golden Palace, "Your Majesty! Empress Dowager, the old minister has been wronged!"
