Chapter 19 Poison Olives

Tai Chi Temple.

An article accusing Pei Ji was submitted, which listed his ten crimes, all of which could be fatal.

An admonishing doctor affiliated with the Yue Wang Party, his voice was as loud as thunder: "Qi Empress, Pei Ji has built a private residence on Suzaku Long Street in the past two years. He said it was a viewing platform, a lot of construction work, and a waste of money. He simply disregarded etiquette. Shaking the foundation of the country, I ask the empress to issue a decree to punish severely, so as to make an example to others!"

Lianzhu belt cannon, the words are heavy, directly piercing the heart and lungs.

Then, he knelt down with a "plop" and continued to aim the cannon fire at Pei Ji: "This person deceives the king and wrongs the country, acts against the law, and behaves in a disobedient manner. If anyone in the court disagrees with his political views The person who will die on the street the next day is simply inhumane, thinking that my 300 years of accumulated karma will be destroyed in one day, I can hardly sleep at night!"

"I ask the empress to make a decree to punish the crime, so as to set the court in order!"

As soon as these words came out, the Yue Wang party behind him knelt down one after another, it seemed that they had made full preparations.

Naturally, the members of the Pei party couldn't sit still.

Master Zhu, a scholar of the cabinet, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Master Shoufu built the viewing platform entirely to promote the prestige of our Great Zhou, and to break the fearless suspicion of those small enemy countries. It is obviously a matter for the country and the people. Why? When it reaches your mouth, the taste changes? It's bloody and gibberish!"

There is a grumpy adult in the Pei party, who is ready to rush forward: "How many years old things have been, and it is too reluctant to take them out for a walk! If you say that you are going against the law and disregarding etiquette, the king of Yue should bear the brunt! May I ask, do you dare to turn over these old accounts?"

Not to be outdone, the Royal Party of Yue said, "What an old account! I think it's you who are spewing blood!"

"Shut your mouth!"

……

The two sides quarreled furiously.

Today's situation is a great opportunity for the aristocratic families to express their shame and criticize the Pei party. As long as they add fuel to the flames, the fire will burn even more.

But they were uncharacteristically choosing to remain silent.

This was the case in the court for three consecutive days. The Pei Party and the Yuewang Party continued to bombard each other, and the aristocratic families did not participate.

But the most abnormal one is Mr. Shoufu.

Pei Ji has always been very thick-skinned, and had to go back when encountering such a thing, but this time, he did not move at all, and even kept silent in court.

Even within the Pei Party, people panicked, and the Chief Assistant, who had always been decisive in killing, seemed to be deaf and dumb, with no arrogance at all.

Could it be... Are you afraid?

Gu Yanyi has been paying attention to the recent situation, and he decided to throw an olive branch to Pei Ji, a poisonous olive that can completely cure him to death.

capital city.

Pei Ji was looking at the letter that Li Yi had just handed over, with a pensive expression on his face.

It's really strange that Gu Shilang, who has always regarded himself as a thorn in his side, wants to cooperate with him.

"My lord, Gu Xiaolan from the Gu family asked to see her. She said that she was ordered by Mrs. Gu, and she said that her visit this time was related to the house outside Yong'an Lane."

Pei Ji raised his eyelids, it was the Gu family again.

Gu Xiaolan is being led by a young servant at the moment, walking on the corridor.

There was an expectant smile on her face, she didn't expect that her mother would promise herself that she would spend more time with Lord Shoufu in the future.

In the past, she fell in love with Mr. Shoufu, but because he has always been her family's deadly enemy, she was very hurt. Now that she has the opportunity to get close, she is naturally happy.

Entering the room, she saw the man who was serious about his work with his head down, a shy blush immediately crept up his cheeks.

Immediately came to mind, what my brother said to me yesterday - my brother will help you to become the first assistant's wife.

She was a little nervous: "My daughter, I have met Mr. Shoufu."

"Speak." Pei Ji didn't lift his eyes.

"My lord, mother said that you have been ill recently, and asked me to send some supplies. This snow lotus is..."

Her affectionate chatter was ruthlessly interrupted by Pei Ji.

"Miss Gu, if there is nothing important, go back."

The man finally raised his head, his face was stiff, full of indifference, and his business affairs became more and more ruthless.

Gu Xiaolan has always been arrogant, but how can she control the girl's thoughts and love affairs, she can't help but be inferior to Pei Ji.

"Master Shoufu, my servant saw your new concubine in Yong'an Lane yesterday. She is indeed beautiful and beautiful. How could such a pure and pure girl come from Goulan Washe?"

Pei Ji frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Those people didn't know whose rumors they believed, and even taunted the girl with words. My mother and I couldn't stand it anymore, so we spoke to help..."

"But...but this girl, she actually..."

Speaking of this, she seemed a little embarrassed, not knowing where to start, and subconsciously looked up at Pei Ji.

The man was looking at himself, and asked with concern: "Huh?"

Gu Xiaolan only felt a heart, and the little deer bumped wildly. Perhaps Mr. Shoufu also paid attention to her in private.

"She actually mentioned your background in public, my lord, and said... that even though you came from a criminal background, you shouldn't underestimate yourself..."

Gu Xiaolan raised her head cautiously, the crime of her birth was Pei Ji's biggest rebellion, and she was waiting for him to get angry.

But the expression in the man's eyes was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and he was furious as imagined, and the storm did not come.

Instead, there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: "Did she really say that?"

Gu Xiaolan suddenly felt that the world had changed. Could it be that Mr. Shoufu was bewitched and he was laughing? !

"Master Shoufu, most of the wives and ladies in Yong'an Lane went there yesterday, and they all heard clearly that the courtiers are not here to complain, but just feel that this matter is slightly inappropriate, and will lose your dignity... ..."

Gu Xiaolan tried to fight again.

But the man who had recovered, looked at her expression, as if he had returned to his usual inhuman appearance: "You go."

To be the main wife of Mr. Shoufu, he must first make him understand that she is a generous and reasonable person, so she resigned without saying anything.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but think, is Mr. Shoufu also so ruthless in front of that humble outer room?

As for why Pei Ji laughed, only he understood.

The princess mentioned himself in front of outsiders, and this alone was enough to make him happy, no matter if it was good or bad, he would accept it as it was, as long as it was about himself.

At least, this proves that the princess also thought of herself.

When the servant from the outer house was recruited, he told him what happened yesterday and what Wei Yunzhu said.

Pei Ji looked extremely excited, and even his fingers trembled a little.

"Li Yi, prepare the sedan chair and go to Yong'an Lane immediately."

In a fast-moving sedan chair, Pei Ji rested his head on his hands, lost in thought.

His schemes, used in the court, calculating one by one, can be used on the little princess, seem to have all failed.
