Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Pei Qi did not explain, but turned to Cui Shaogong: "Before I come back, the safety of the eldest princess is entrusted to you."

Cui Shaogong responded silently, thought for a while, then walked into the study, took out a black and gold token and handed it to Pei Qi.

"This token can mobilize three hundred shadow guards. I will ask them to pretend to be a family who went to Jinjiang to do charity and provide disaster relief. You should not be discovered if you are among them. There are many variables on this trip, so be careful."

"If an accident occurs, you can also use the troops guarding Fengyun Pass. If Your Majesty is to blame, I will bear it."

Fengyunguan...

The Cui family's troops were indeed stationed there.

Putting aside the three hundred shadow guards, she didn't expect that Cui Shaogong could even lend her the army.

Pei Qi blinked and looked at him gratefully: "Thank you..."

"It's not necessary if you want to thank me. Just treat me to a drink when you come back." Cui Shaogong turned away and waved his hand to interrupt her unspoken thanks: "But I have something to ask you."

"What will you do when the day comes when His Majesty's foundation is solid and the court is stable?"

Is the court stable?

She hadn't thought about this problem...

After a long time, she twitched her lips and said, "Well... maybe then, like Su Yushi, I will leave the court and the imperial capital and find a secluded and comfortable place to have a good rest."

When Jiang Mingcang can truly take charge of her own affairs without being restricted by anyone, the intrigues and intrigues of the court will no longer need her.

And she was already tired.

Once you have achieved success and retired, all your vanities are gone, you will be happy.

Cui Shaogong moved his lips, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but after he lowered his eyes, he became firm again.

He raised his eyes awkwardly. The usually majestic man had lost his confidence inexplicably, and his voice became softer unconsciously: "When that day comes, can you..."

"Can you come to the Taiwei Mansion?"

Pei Qi found it a bit funny, hugged his shoulders and looked at him, while muttering: "Yes, what's not possible? When the time comes and I have no money, I will come to your Taiwei's house to eat and drink, and make money and money along the way." , I will keep you poor, alas, I am afraid that you will get bored over time and ask your three hundred shadow guards to drive me out..."

"What I'm talking about is marrying into the Taiwei's mansion."

Pei Qi's words stopped suddenly, and the smile froze on his face. Even Jiang Yuelian, who was watching from the side, covered his mouth in disbelief.

She was stunned for a moment, and her mind went blank.

The entire main hall was eerily quiet for a moment, and even the sound of burning coals could be heard.

But Cui Shaogong, who finally said the words, obviously no longer had any worries, and continued: "Pei Qi, actually... I am happy with you."

Jiang Yuelian hurriedly stepped aside and sat down, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them with relish. She looked at Cui Shaogong on her left and Pei Qi on her right, waiting expectantly for the next step.

But she waited for a long time, but the two of them didn't say a word.

Cui Shaogong pursed his lips, feeling discouraged in his heart.

"If you don't want to, just pretend that I didn't say anything today."

He moved his eyes away from Pei Qi, placed the three-thousand-feather hidden weapon properly, then walked around Pei Qi, thinking of leaving the main hall.

But midway, Pei Qi suddenly stopped him: "Cui Shaogong."

Cui Shaogong stopped and turned around slowly, only to see Pei Qi still standing there. Since his back was turned, he couldn't see her face clearly. I heard her tone indifferently, as if nothing was wrong: "I have thought about countless things in my mind, including worries about making plans in the government, plans to gain status for the family, and thinking about how to relax after dinner. I even thought about what flowers and plants to raise in the house to cultivate my temperament."

"But getting married is something I have never thought about."

Pei Qi turned around, raised his head slightly and stared into Cui Shaogong's eyes, with a nonchalant smile: "Do you know why?"

"Because I am a person with no future."

Time actually passed very quickly, and the New Year was almost here, and her life span was shortened by another year.

During the death period, he stood in front of her and kept waving to her, getting closer to her little by little. She stood there, but couldn't move back.

Can only wait to die.

This was probably the first time Cui Shaogong saw such a painful smile. Even though Pei Qi was deliberately enduring it and trying his best to hide it, he could feel that Pei Qi's heart was bleeding.

"Little Lieutenant Cui is handsome and has countless military exploits. There are many women who respect you in the world. It will not be difficult to find a wife who treats you sincerely."

Pei Qi slowly raised his hand hanging by his side and pointed it at himself, half-joking: "Xin Yue, a short-lived ghost like me... Cui Shaogong, are you out of your mind?"

Her final destination is very simple, find a place with beautiful scenery that no one can find, and disappear from this world peacefully and peacefully.

This journey on earth is not in vain.

Jiang Yuelian pinched the handkerchief, her eyes were red. She took a few steps towards Pei Qi and patted her shoulder gently to express her comfort.

Pei Qi looked at Jiang Yuelian and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb: "What are you doing? I haven't shed any tears yet, but you started crying first."

"Okay, time waits for no one. I have to go back to my hometown to prepare and rush to Jinjiang as soon as possible."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we'll probably leave tonight. So, I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Yuelian sniffed, took Pei Qi's arm, and said with a choked sob: "I'll go with you. Don't you want to leave in women's clothes? I'll help you choose something good-looking."

Pei Qi was amused by her: "Okay, then I'll trouble the eldest princess."

The two of them held each other's arms and were about to leave, but they saw Cui Shaogong still standing there motionless.

Pei Qi walked to his side, paused for a moment, and opened his mouth: "Cui Shaogong, treating me as a friend is the most correct choice for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Qi passed by him, his footsteps getting farther and farther away.

Cui Shaogong's hand on his side gradually tightened. The moment Pei Qi stepped out of the main hall, he suddenly moved his lips, regardless of whether Pei Qi heard it or not.

"Since I have chosen to be honest with you, I don't care how long you have to live."

"The Taiwei Mansion is waiting for you to come at any time."

……

In the middle of the night, at the last moment when the imperial capital city gate was closed, a convoy of merchants left the imperial capital at night.

At the same time, outside Feiyue Tower, Baili Qingming, who smelled of alcohol, had just left. A few short and imperceptible shouts came from the noisy music on the top floor.

An hour later, the maid in the building who went to clean up the private room suddenly burst out with a scream. Everyone rushed over after hearing the sound, only to see corpses strewn all over the private room on the top floor. Everyone inside was killed with a knife, and they should be sleeping at this time. The oiran was in smoke and disappeared mysteriously.

There was speculation that she had been kidnapped and died a long time ago.
