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

Chapter 91
Thinking of this, Sheng Baoling suddenly felt that the incense room was extremely hot and stuffy. She pulled her lips and said in a deep voice, "I was thinking about the Ministry of Punishment. The disturbance has really gotten bigger these two days."

Speaking of the incident in the court, she can be said to have no guilt at all.

While talking, she walked towards the closed window at the other end, stretched out her hand to open the window, let the wind blow in, and the hotness dissipated a lot.

The topic was changed at once. Pei Ci was still a little distracted at first, but now he heard Sheng Baoling mention the matter about the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and his mood returned to normal, "Once the matter is clarified, the officials involved will be severely punished one by one."

Sheng Baoling nodded, "It's just that different officials are involved in different things, and the penalties are different. We need to find a fair and just person, and we need to be able to overwhelm these people to preside over the matter. case."

"Do you have anyone to recommend?"

She looked at Pei Ci, met those eyes, but inexplicably thought of the unexpected kiss just now, the soft touch seemed to return to her lips, and his breathing was a little hot.

Sheng Baoling shifted his gaze silently, not letting his eyes reveal his mind.

Pei Ci did not notice this subtle change in the person in front of him, thinking that she was really asking him who he would recommend.

In fact, he had already thought about this point earlier, and there was no one more suitable than King Jing.

"How about King Jing?"

Finding that Pei Ci was thinking of something with himself, Sheng Baoling's mouth curled up, "Actually, I also think King Jing is suitable."

Liang Yu was too rigid. If he were to try the case, the officials involved would be severely punished, exiled and beheaded, no matter the severity.

If someone else came, their status would be a bit lower, and they would not be able to suppress those high-ranking officials. I'm afraid that during the trial process, there will inevitably be accommodation, and some people will escape.

After thinking about it, King Jing is the most suitable, and it can also make King Jing use this case to build up his prestige in the court and get closer to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Now, the Ministry of Households has Qijun, and it would be best if King Jing controls and gets close to the Ministry of Punishment at this time.

Both of them smiled lightly, they had never negotiated, but they both thought of a piece.

It seems that there have been countless discussions in the past, and the tacit understanding was so surprising that they themselves were surprised.

Pei Ci continued to make incense, and when it was complicated, he would stop for a while to explain to Sheng Baoling. The speed of his voice slowed down slowly, and he sounded patient and gentle, a look that Pei Ci did not have on weekdays.

But Sheng Baoling felt that this was what Pei Ci usually looked like.

There is a slight distance between the two, as if because of the matter just now, they each kept a little bit, but from time to time, their fingertips touched each other, even the clothes, with the movements of the two, they touched lightly and interacted Entangled.

Ambiguous to the extreme.

When breathing, the tip of the nose can faintly smell the fragrance, which is mixed and makes people feel distracted.

Both of them thought of the accident just now, and there was no abnormal expression on their faces. They both agreed tacitly and no one mentioned it, as if no one mentioned it, and what happened just now never happened.

But only they knew in their hearts that they might not be able to sleep well tonight.

...

That night, Sheng Baoling lit the incense that he had brought back from Pei's mansion during the day, and sat aside.

Jian Jia came in with a fresh change of tea and put it down. She saw Sheng Baoling sitting at the table alone, propping her chin with one hand, leaning her elbow on the table, and rubbing her lips with the fingertips of the other hand intentionally or unintentionally. Thinking about something, the corners of his eyes are curved, as if he is smiling.

It was this smile, which seemed a little silly.

What Sheng Baoling was thinking about at this time was the touch of a superficial touch when he was in Peifu Xiangfang during the day, and the hand around his waist, the feeling of the beads on his waist, as if it was still in his waist Stay for a long time, stay together for a long time.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help the smile on her lips, and the corners of her mouth kept rising.

Jian Jia couldn't help getting closer, to look at it, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

While talking, he stretched out his hand and touched his mother's forehead with the back of his hand, wanting to see if he was sick again, otherwise why would he still be sitting and giggling.

If it's really sick, you can't delay, you have to call the imperial doctor to have a look, and you can't burn your brain.

This sudden touch startled Sheng Baoling, and pulled her out of the aftertaste just now. She wiped her mouth with her hands indiscriminately, and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay."

He also felt that this movement was a bit abrupt, so he pretended to unintentionally raise his arms, stretched his waist, clenched his hands into fists, rubbed and hammered his waist, as if he was tired.

Jian Jia looked at it, but couldn't help frowning, there must be a monster when things go wrong, the empress must have happened in Pei's mansion today, she came back so weird.

She didn't feel it herself, but the people on their side who were close and serving her were all aware of it.

Thinking in this way, when undressing Sheng Baoling, Jian Jia would look at her from time to time, and when she saw her own mother, she would touch her mouth with her fingers from time to time, with a suspicious blush on her face, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised...

In any case, I have read a few books of rumors circulated in the palace, and Jian Jia's eyes widened as if he had guessed something.

Could it be that the empress went to Pei's mansion today and kissed Mr. Pei?
She covered her mouth in shock, not letting herself make a sound, she couldn't believe it, and was a little angry and dissatisfied, how could Mr. Pei be like this!
A few days ago, I was still sick. I had a rest for two days. I heard that I drank a lot of medicine.

I don't know if the illness will be cured, but this kiss won't make the empress angry with the illness, right?
Thinking of this, Jian Jia began to worry in her heart, thinking whether to ask the people in the small kitchen to fry the medicine first, or let Sheng Baoling drink the medicine as soon as possible after the illness.

Sheng Baoling had no idea that Jian Jia was thinking about these things at the moment, but just thinking about what happened during the day, his heart was filled with honey, sweet.

Thinking of Pei Ci's eyes, that face, body, hands, wrist bones, even his neck, rolling Adam's apple...every strand of hair, I couldn't help feeling strange in my heart.

Then I couldn't help thinking about the problems I thought about during the day.

Was she really bewitched by Pei Ci's beauty, or was she drugged with ecstasy soup, that's why she was so unknowingly affected by him.

It was not until today that some signs were discovered.

Sheng Baoling frowned, raised his head, looked at Jian Jia, and wanted to ask something, but when he raised his head, what he saw was Jian Jia's worried gaze, and that kind of gaze made Sheng Baoling feel inexplicably empty.

The mouth that was originally opened was suddenly closed, and he remained silent for a while.

It's better not to ask, Jian Jia has always been a delicate girl, if she notices something...
