Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Chapter 1 1, The Prison Disaster

Inside the prison, it is mostly the same darkness.

Pei Qi was tied to a cross stake for the interrogation of prisoners. There were countless whip marks all over her body, and only the sound of weak breathing showed that her life was still intact, but...

It was hard to bear to look directly at the scarred body.

She is the highest-ranking national teacher in the history of the Dasheng Kingdom, and she is highly regarded by the emperor. She has solved riots and refugees, and uncovered the undercover agents of the enemy country.

The ministers who rely on her are all over the court.

But now, everything has changed.

The emperor was seriously ill, so he wrote a will to make the prince the new emperor.

Since Pei Qi entered the palace, he was ordered to supervise the prince's homework until he was full-fledged, made countless achievements, and possessed the style of an emperor.

The prince, the emperor, should have been justified.

But just three days ago, due to her negligence, an accident happened.

The emperor died of illness, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Just as the prince walked up to the high hall, before he could sit on the dragon chair that symbolizes being above ten thousand people, a group of people broke into the palace, surrounded the hall heavily, detained the prince, and...

she was.

However, Quan Xiangrongqin, who was supposed to support the crown prince's ascension to the throne, suddenly appeared after half a month of disappearing for no reason, forced the prince down the high platform step by step, grabbed the last edict and threw it on the ground, and turned to meet her gaze. All contempt.

"According to the investigation of the facts, the emperor's illness was caused by taking poison for a long time, and these years, the crown prince has been with the emperor day and night, so it is difficult to escape suspicion. It is probably inappropriate to ascend the throne so hastily."

Pei Qi also knew that if he dared to disobey the imperial edict so presumptuously, he must have made thorough preparations.

And the heavy troops surrounding the main hall outside were probably the work of His Highness the Third Highness.

No wonder His Highness the Third Prince watched helplessly as the crown prince ascended the throne step by step, but he never moved. So he was waiting here.

Later, the crown prince was arrested and imprisoned, and His Highness the Third Highness took over as the supervisor of the country. When all the truth came to light, the new emperor would come.

However, if it fell into Rong Qin's hands, can the truth be revealed?
"Ahem..." Pei Qi swallowed, but a tingling pain came from his dry throat.

The fishy sweetness in her mouth became clearer and clearer, maybe it was the stamina of being tortured just now, which made her cough up blood again and again.

There are hundreds of punishments from the Ministry of Punishment, which are really not for human beings.

Now that the crown prince has been captured, and the Third Highness holds the military power in his hands, he is in prison, and it is not yet known what he looks like outside.

I don't know how many old things in the court will take this opportunity to break away from her control and turn around and join Rong Qin's command.

Once the crown prince's charges are confirmed, even she will end up punishing the nine clans, not to mention her daughter's body has been exposed to Rong Qin, plus the crime of deceiving the first emperor...

Heh, enough for him to write a big article.

Right now, we have to wait for another opportunity.

I am afraid that I will have to suffer for a few more days from these flesh and blood pains.

Pei Qi was rescued from the stake and thrown back into the cell.

She struggled to get up, and leaned against the corner weakly. Her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so she simply grabbed the steamed buns she hadn't eaten in the morning, and began to bite into small bites.

She could end up in any way, but she couldn't starve to death.

Suppressing the pain in her throat, Pei Qi swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. When did it become so difficult for her to even eat a meal?
After filling his stomach, Pei Qi grabbed the straw mat beside him, and lay down on the bed regardless of the messy reptiles.

She was too tired to take care of these.

Pei Qi, who was half asleep and half awake, was awakened by a rustling sound.

She opened her eyes slightly, outside the cell door, there was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old who was calling her outside pretending to be a guard.

Little four?

Pei Qi was a little surprised, and then this surprise turned into panic. She sat up and reprimanded in a cold voice: "What are you doing here? Go back!"

Once Rong Qin's people find out, he will be accused of pretending to be a court guard and communicating with her in private. How could Rong Qin let him go?
Even if you have ten lives, it's not enough to kill you!
"Brother Qi... No, sister Qi, I'll take you out, let's leave Dasheng Kingdom, and go wherever we want!" Saying that, Xiao Si was about to unlock the prison door with the stolen key, his gaze firm , There is a kind of meaning that I will not give up until I take her out.

Damn!

Pei Qi cursed secretly, and with the strength he didn't know where he came from, he rushed in front of Xiao Si, held his hand from inside the prison, and shook his head indisputably: "Rong Qin is so thoughtful, you really think you can do it with your own strength?" Can you take me away? You're just a stupid kid who hasn't reached Ji, how can you fight Rong Qin?"

"But, but..." Xiaosi cried out in a hurry: "But they don't care about you. Daddy announced that he would expel you from Pei's house, and my mother didn't allow me to come to you. I tried my best to stop me and kowtowed to Daddy. But they are all determined to want you dead, I don't want my sister to die, woo woo woo!"

"Expelled from... Pei's house?" Pei Qi seemed to be struck by a bolt from the blue, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

She imagined that countless courtiers who used to rely on her and were subject to her would leave her and betray her because of this change, but she never imagined that the first to separate from her were her parents whom she had always cherished .

She is the first child of the Pei family. Because she is a daughter, she cannot enter the imperial court, and her mother cannot conceive again because of dystocia when she gave birth to her. Raised and raised, entered the court as an official, and exercised power.

The Pei family also took advantage of her power to climb up step by step and became one of the four great families in Dasheng Kingdom.

Later, my father had a second wife, a third wife, and my uncle married a wife, so there were more men in the family.

But once she entered the court, there was no way out, even if the Pei family had a male, she could not leave the court.

I thought that the Pei family would always be her last backing, but unexpectedly...

Ah.

"Sister Qi, you... Daddy is also doing it for the Pei family, he is afraid that the whole family of the Pei family will be implicated and ransacked, so he..." Maybe it was because of a misunderstanding about Pei Qi, Xiaosi quickly explained.

Pei Qi raised his eyes, reached out his hand to cover Xiao Si's endless mouth, and smiled weakly: "It's okay, I know everything."

Perhaps it was for the sake of the overall situation, to abandon her and protect Pei's family.

Or maybe it was for the sake of status, and wanted to prove to Rong Qin that the Pei family had nothing to do with her.

It's just, do you really think that Rong Qin is as kind as you think, that he will ignore you with such compassion?
There is no room for slack in the court battle, and if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces. Rong Qin naturally knows this truth, so as long as he wants to get rid of her, not to mention the Pei family, even others who have close contacts with her will Suffered from indiscriminate disaster.

Does expelling her from Pei's house have nothing to do with her?
Who Rong Qin wants to kill, but there are thousands of reasons, so you can't argue with it, Dad.

"Xiao Si, listen to me." Pei Qi held his hand tightly, took the key out of the door lock, and solemnly told him: "You don't need to worry about me, today's prison disaster , I have my own way to escape, but do you know that trespassing in the sky prison and fornicating criminal officials is a dead end?"

"Rong Qin has a lot of eyeliner, how can you take me away with your tricks alone? Get out of here before Rong Qin finds you."

"But sister..."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Xiao Si still wanted to say something, but Pei Qi's undeniable attitude forced her to go back. He had no choice but to wipe away his tears and withdrew his hand: "Then I'm leaving, sister, you must live!"

"Well, good boy, let's go." Pei Qi rubbed Xiaosi's head, pushed him along the way, and urged him to leave quickly.
