Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Pei Qi frowned, his face serious, and his sleeves were tightly clenched in her hands, causing countless wrinkles.

She looked confused and couldn't help but recall the story Pei Yunjiang told before.

There were rumors in the palace in the early years that the late emperor and Bai Jinzhen had known each other since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts, playmates and confidants.

Bai Jinzhen is the daughter of the Grand Tutor. She is good at everything from beauty and knowledge to music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Precisely because she was perfect in every way, her fate was destined to end from the beginning.

Marry into the palace and become a royal person.

Fortunately, she and the late emperor were devoted to each other. Even though the late emperor had countless concubines, she always occupied a place in the late emperor's heart. The late emperor protected her kindness and beauty and never let her suffer any injustice.

It wasn't until a year later that Bai Jinzhen became pregnant.

At that time, except for the eldest princess Jiang Yuelian, who was born to Concubine Yue, there was no news of any concubine being pregnant. Once the news of Bai Jinzhen's pregnancy came out, it could be said that the whole palace exploded.

The late emperor naturally knew the cruelty of the harem dispute. If the empress dowager hadn't protected the late emperor's first child, how could Concubine Yue have given birth to the eldest princess so easily?

Not to mention that Bai Jinzhen was the most favored harem at that time. Even if she was just a talented person or a beauty, the crazy women in the harem would not tolerate her giving birth to this child. Therefore, in order to protect Bai Jinzhen, the late emperor led the imperial army in the palace, He left the palace with the queen and secretly went to the remote Qiulan Villa.

The emperor did a good job keeping the secret. That night, Qiulan Villa welcomed a large group of people. The owner of the village was respectful in every possible way. No one knew who the visitor was except him.

Under the late emperor's protection, this child should have been born peacefully.

But just when Bai Jinzhen was ten months pregnant and about to give birth to a child, a group of unknown assassins broke into Qiulan Villa. Their purpose was clear and they almost killed everyone on sight.

The imperial guards in the palace fought hard against them. At the moment of swords and swords, in order to protect the newly born child from being implicated, Bai Jinzhen gave the midwife a whole box of gold and ordered her to take the little prince away from Qiu in the chaos. Lanshan Villa, wait until the war subsides, then come back and hand the child over to the late emperor.

Later, reinforcements from Lincheng arrived and attacked fiercely. The assassins retreated steadily and were completely defeated.

...Perhaps in order to save their lives, the few remaining assassins kidnapped Bai Jinzhen at the last moment, took her away from Qiulan Villa, and dragged Bai Jinzhen's weak body along the way.

Finally, under the late emperor's relentless pursuit, the group of people fled to the edge of a cliff, and there was no way out.

They could see that Bai Jinzhen was very important to the late emperor, so they put the blade on Bai Jinzhen's neck and threatened the late emperor with her life, otherwise they would kill Bai Jinzhen on the spot.

"It's just that he is on the throne. Once he ascends the throne, he will guard his pride as emperor until his death. Even though he loves Bai Jinzhen terribly, he cannot compare with the majesty of the emperor."

Pei Qi raised his head and sighed towards the sky, feeling even more deeply in his heart: "Finally, he waved his hand and ordered to eliminate all the traitors. Bai Jinzhen couldn't bear the humiliation and was inevitably disappointed with the late emperor. The moment the late emperor gave the order, she herself He broke free from the shackles of the traitor and jumped off the cliff."

Later, the late emperor sent countless troops and even went down the cliff himself to search for Bai Jinzhen's body. However, the water under the cliff was fast and they finally returned in vain, announcing the queen's death.

It had been a long time since she had heard anyone talk about this long-secret palace affair.

Jiang Lingfeng's sudden news really shocked her.

Bai Jinzhen, how did he survive?

Why would she rather live in that dilapidated village than return to the palace after she saved her life?
If the people from Wuhen Villa had not gone to Qingmei Village, Bai Jinzhen's matter might have become an eternal secret.

And that kid...

The prince was sent back to the palace by the midwife when he was six years old. The late emperor also personally confirmed that the midwife was undoubtedly the one from Qiulan Villa.

When asked why it took her six years to send the prince back, the midwife only said that she did not have enough status to meet the late emperor. She went to other court officials, but those officials found a child because she was random. She came here and wanted to be like a dragon and a phoenix, so no one paid any attention to her.

For this reason, the late emperor went out of his way to get angry in the morning court and rectify all these officials.Fortunately, the prince finally returned to the palace safe and sound.

Bai Jinzhen's experience is indeed sympathetic, but marrying into the royal family is just like that...

When she gets the chance, she should go see Bai Jinzhen and have a good chat with her. The prince has never received maternal love despite his age.

It would be a happy event if mother and son recognized each other.

However, all this will have to wait until she rescues the prince.

"Bai Jinzhen, please take good care of him. When the prince is released from prison, I will arrange for them to meet. Also, last time you went to Youlan Pavilion, did you find anything unusual?" Pei Qi asked, holding his chin.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingfeng leaned back and spread his hands helplessly: "Forget it, the boss is very tough and has a pitiful look on his face. Cui Shaogong asked people to search all over Youlan Pavilion. It doesn’t have the kind of fragrance you fell in love with.”

"However, the day we found you was indeed near Youlan Pavilion."

Pei Qi narrowed his eyes.

In this case, Youlan Pavilion is closely related to this group of people from the Western Regions.

If she had the chance, she would have to go to Orchid Pavilion to see it in person.

Perhaps because she was thinking too much, Pei Qi's head suddenly felt a throbbing pain. She quickly put her hands on her temples and frowned to bear the pain.

It's really terrible...

"Doctor, come here quickly!" Jiang Lingfeng stood up, stood beside Pei Qi, helped her up, and shouted towards the room where the doctor lived.

The doctor hurried out, grabbed Pei Qi's hand and took his pulse.

Suddenly, Pei Qi suddenly held the doctor's arm with her backhand. With a headache, she slowly raised her head.

"and many more!"

Perhaps it was the blurred eyes that made her memory clear, or perhaps it was the sudden headache that stimulated her. Deep in the layers of memories in her mind, she finally captured the afterimage of the fragment hiding in the corner.

During the Qiqiao Festival, the group of people with dull eyes abducted her while dancing Western dances. She seemed to remember seeing some of the women who looked familiar to her before!

Previously, Rong Qin took her to go shopping in order to perform the drama of marital harmony in front of the people. He encountered an assassin while resting in the attic room, and she was brought to Duan Qianjun by Ke Chi.

It was at that time that Duan Qianjun killed all the living beauties accompanying him in front of her...

And the group of women who were dancing the Western Region dance and were bewitched by strange things, weren't they the beauties who had already died...

Thinking of this, Pei Qi was instantly shocked.

It turns out that the person who really colluded with the people from the Western Regions was...

It was actually Duan Qianjun!

he……

What is he trying to do! ?
