Chapter 48 The Decree
The atmosphere outside the door was already tense. It was said that the people from the Ministry of Punishment were actually soldiers of the King of Yue, and they were about to barge in abruptly.

Suddenly, a door was kicked open, and the body of a Jinwu Guard was thrown in.

Wei Yunzhu, who was wearing a veiled hat and sitting in front of the vanity mirror, shuddered subconsciously.

The one who came in was Wang Shuo, the commander of the capital beside King Yue. He glanced keenly, his eyes fixed on the beautiful figure with his back turned to him.

He lifted his foot and approached slowly.

With her back straight, Wei Yunzhu tightly clenched her dress with her fingertips.

Immediately, several Jinwu guards stepped forward to stop him firmly: "Commander Wang, you can't go any further, otherwise the Lord Chief Assistant will blame you, and the matter may not end well then."

Wang Shuo tilted his head and smiled nonchalantly: "The general is also following orders, and just searched according to the rules. If you refuse to cooperate, don't blame me for being rough."

As he spoke, he grabbed the Jinwu Guard's arm violently, but before he could make another move, he was interrupted by a playful voice.

"It's a big tone, I don't know whose order the king ordered?"

First, a group of Jinwu guards filed in, and then Lord Chief Assistant stepped in with leisurely steps.

Wei Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the familiar voice.

Wang Shuo didn't expect him to come so fast, so he went forward alone, and saluted Pei Ji at the door, his tone was respectful: "Master Chief Assistant, Princess Yun'an has been missing and fled for a long time, His Majesty ordered us to search, I wonder if you can see a suspicious person?"

According to the spies' report, Princess Yun'an was hidden here by Pei Ji, and he knew it well.

"I don't know if Mr. Shoufu can let the humble officials search the mansion..."

In an eerie silence, Wang Shuo secretly raised his eyes when he couldn't hear the man's response.

Everyone in the world knows that this person is the head assistant of a lunatic. In the power struggle, he is brutal and inhumane, beheaded and killed, and frantically chasing money and power by any means.

But the officialdom is ups and downs, and he is very popular, even if it is the difference between the factions that are incompatible with each other, there are still people who are willing to confide in him.

On the one hand, he admired Mr. Shoufu, but on the other hand, he was afraid.

However, under the order of King Yue, how dare such a small person like him disobey, and the search is really a last resort.

Wang Shuo clenched his fists again and saluted: "I implore Mr. Chief Assistant to let the humble officials search, this is His Majesty's order."

"Your Majesty's will?" Pei Ji smiled, as if nothing had happened, but seemed to ignore anyone.

Wang Shuo presented the signature of the Ministry of Punishment in his hand, and responded with difficulty: "Master Chief Assistant, please have a look."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became tense for a while, Li Yi slowly turned his head away, and he mourned for Commander Wang in silence.

Pei Ji was still smiling, he walked forward slowly, and suddenly put his hand on the other's shoulder, close to his ear: "Wang Shuo, who are you working for now? Do you remember who this Dazhou belongs to?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Shuomeng knelt down and said, "I am honored to be promoted to the Ministry of Punishment. Naturally, I am working for His Majesty!"

An invisible sense of oppression came from the condescending gaze, and cold sweat broke out on Wang Shuo's forehead.

Pei Ji raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled innocently: "I'm just joking, Commander Wang, let's search."

It's hard to ride a tiger.

Wang Shuo went out, didn't investigate today, saw the King of Yue, and died, so he simply gritted his teeth: "My lord, the humble official has caused a lot of trouble today, please forgive me, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey, and the humble official has to search according to the rules."

"Please also allow Beizhi to look at that girl's face. If it is not Princess Yun'an, Beizhi will lead the troops to leave immediately."

Wei Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief in vain, feeling tormented inside.

Naturally, Wang Shuo was also sweating in the winter, waiting for Pei Ji to speak.

After a long time, Pei Ji folded his arms and bent slightly, squinting his eyes, his tone was like a cold python sticking out its tongue, with indifference and suppressed killing intent.

"Those who dare to look at me, did Commander Wang eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts?"

Wang Shuo didn't dare to raise his head, and his prey didn't dare to look directly at the death, but suddenly an imperial edict was left at his feet.

Pei Ji straightened up, looked at Wang Shuo, and said with a half smile, "Let's take a good look."

He is already being polite like this, according to his previous style, if the little princess was not here, he would have cared about his image, he would have drawn his sword and chopped off Wang Shuo's head, and then threw it into the tiger garden to feed his pets. One meal, save trouble!
When Wang Shuo saw the imperial decree, he was shocked, and immediately kowtowed his head to the ground, feeling terrified.

"Master Shoufu, please make amends. It is a humble position and stupidity that disturbed the peace of you and the princess. The crime of humble position deserves death!"

Him and the princess?

What the hell is Pei Ji doing?

Wei Yunzhu couldn't help muttering in his heart, wishing he could question that man immediately.

The corner of Pei Ji's mouth raised a touch of impatience, and he moved his fingers: "Hurry up and get out."

Wang Shuoru was granted amnesty, and immediately got up and resigned and left.

Pei Ji's eyes fixed on the delicate back, and a smile immediately changed on his face: "Zhuzhu, these big bosses frightened you, change tomorrow, and send more Jinwu guards to guard."

"No, no, no, I have to send He Zheng and tell him to sit in charge in person so that I can rest assured!"

What nonsense!
How could the majestic General Weiwei ask someone to guard the house for him? It's just nonsense!
Wei Yunzhu shook his head helplessly, turned around, and stared at him with almond eyes: "Then why did the commander say that I am the princess? He obviously hasn't seen my face!"

Pei Ji made a gesture of hugging, intending to put his arms around her: "Of course Weichen told him."

But the girl slapped her hand away mercilessly: "How could you tell him...you..."

The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed with anger, and her chest was a little heaving. It seemed that she was really angry.

Pei Ji stubbornly picked her up, bound her fidgeting little hands, and brought her to her lap, buried her chin in the back of her neck, and took a deep breath of the fragrance.

Then she rubbed her hands on the smooth and crispy jade skin with nostalgia: "Let everyone in the world know that the princess is already with the minister, isn't it good?"

During the struggle, Wei Yunzhu's veil had already been rubbed off, and she fell to the ground crookedly. She turned her head sharply: "How dare you!"

Pei Ji fell in love with her petite appearance, and unconsciously circled her a little tighter, admiring her ghostly cheeks.

"Why don't you dare? Hiding fugitives, committing crimes against the princess, which one is not a capital crime?"

Can't say enough about him!
Wei Yunzhu bit her lower lip and looked at him resentfully.

But he found that the man was staring at his face intently, with the tails of his eyes slightly raised, with a smile on his face.

She suddenly realized what!
Immediately ignoring that she was still sitting on the man's lap, she turned around and looked in the vanity mirror. Sure enough, it was horrible...

As if the man hadn't seen enough, he stretched out his hand and straightened her small body slightly, not allowing her to move around, and kept looking at her with interest.

Wei Yunzhu immediately stretched out his palm to cover his cheek, and said in an extremely aggrieved voice, "Don't look... so ugly..."
