Power ministers always make things difficult for me

After listening to Cui Shaogong's words, Pei Qi felt that his nose was a little sore and he felt like crying.

She took a sharp breath, but she couldn't hide the choking in her voice: "Thank you."

"No need." Cui Shaogong shook his head: "You can wait until everything is settled to thank me. Now I have another thing to tell you."

"This morning, Dr. Li from the palace came over and said that he has something to ask you. It seems to be related to the death of the late emperor. Do you want to see him?"

"Doctor Li?" Pei Qi wiped away his tears and considered the name repeatedly.

Li Shi, the late emperor's personal physician when he was seriously ill, was responsible for the late emperor's meals and medication. It is no exaggeration to say that everything the late emperor used in his daily life would pass through his hands.

However, on the day the prince was captured, Li Shi had insisted that the prince was guilty of the crime and was in cahoots with Rong Qin. Why did he suddenly come to see her?
In other words, does he know something?
"Where is Li Shi now?" she asked suddenly.

"I left him in the house, and you want to see him?"

"See!"

……

After the news of the Queen Mother's kidnapping came out, the criminal minister who had long been notorious in the eyes of the people stole the limelight again.

The two names Pei Qi and Zhaolan Palace are hated by everyone.

Compared to the turmoil among the people, the imperial court, which had always been fighting openly and secretly, was eerily quiet these days.

It seemed that everyone was deliberately keeping calm and did not dare to act rashly.

until--

Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace holds a grand banquet. This is a rule passed down from past dynasties.

As the supervisor of the country, Jiang Fengchuan naturally cannot be absent.

At the main seat, Jiang Fengchuan drank one glass after another with an impatient expression.

Rong Qin's previous instructions to him were to stand still. As long as he firmly holds the position of supervising the country, the throne will be his sooner or later.

But now it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, how long should he wait?
When he thought of this, he became upset for no reason, and all the ministers who came to raise their glasses and toast him were driven away by him.

Jiang Fengchuan slammed the wine glass on the table, raised his eyes and looked around, but surprisingly did not find Rong Qin.

At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in previous years, Rong Qin would come and sit there even if he had nothing to do. What happened today?The palace banquet is already halfway through, and I haven't seen his shadow yet...

At the same time, in an inconspicuous hall in the palace, Rong Qin used the dim lights to play with a dark green jade bracelet, which was engraved with fine family totems. It was something that no one else could touch.

"My lord, someone brought it here."

Behind him, the closed door of the palace suddenly opened, and behind Tu You, the old and vicissitudes of life walked in. After seeing Rong Qin, his face inevitably turned a little bad.

After Tu You closed the palace door tightly, Rong Qin turned around and smiled at the visitor, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Master Yue-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ye Chong originally didn't want to see him, but he didn't know that Pei Qi's identity had been discovered by him. In order not to implicate Pei Qi, Ye Chong came over anyway.

In his eyes, Rong Qin was just using "Ye Rou" as a threat to tell him to do something like before.

Little did he know that what was happening now was far beyond his imagination.

"You don't have to pretend to be polite to me, just say it if you have any questions." Ye Chong turned his head away, not even wanting to look at him.

Rong Qin was not annoyed, but his eyes were filled with countless chills. He walked slowly to the soft chair beside him, sat down slowly, and looked at Ye Chong pointedly: "It's nothing. "

"It's just that I've been very busy recently, and I haven't brought my wife back to Ye's Mansion to see you for several days. My wife has been thinking about you a lot, so I invited my father-in-law to come over to see you and see if you're okay." It's better to go back and resurrect with my wife."

After saying that, Rong Qin took out the bracelet from his sleeve and gently placed it on the tea table beside him: "My wife asked me to bring this to my father-in-law. You must keep it safely."

When Rong Qin took out the bracelet, Ye Chong, who was originally confident, seemed to realize something. He stared at the bracelet closely and walked over quickly.

His expressions, from the suspicion when he saw the bracelet, to the shock when he was sure it was the Ye family heirloom, and finally the fear when he realized something, were all clearly displayed in front of Rong Qin.

Ye Chong held the bracelet with trembling hands, and his gradually red and swollen eyes kept wandering between Rong Qin and the bracelet: "This is..."

This is the heirloom he gave Ye Rou, the heirloom he took with Ye Rou to the countryside!
How...how could it be in Rong Qin's hands?

Could it be that Ah Rou...?
What happened during this time!
Something happened to Arou, and no one even came to send him a message. What on earth are they doing with all the people he sent to protect Arou! ?
Seeing Ye Chong's reaction, Rong Qin still pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him, and asked him with concern: "Master-in-law, what's wrong? It seems that you are not very happy when you see my wife's things."

happy?How could he be happy!

"What did you do to Ah Rou!" Ye Chong grabbed Rong Qin's collar, pulled him in front of his eyes, and shouted at him angrily: "If anything happens to Ah Rou, I will never spare you even if I am shattered to pieces. !”

The ravaged collar made Rong Qin frown, and said with a hint of warning: "I am the Right Chancellor. General Ye has even forgotten this dignity. What's wrong? It was Ye Rou who gave you the courage." , or was it given to you by Pei Qi?"

Ye Chong's body trembled, and the strength in his hands unconsciously relaxed.

He reacted and took a few shaky steps back.

Arou...Pei Qi...

Could it be that Rong Qin saw through it all?
He can't be impulsive. His daughter is still in Rong Qin's hands. As long as the Ye family still has military power, A Rou will be fine...

calm down!

Ye Chong's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. He climbed a few steps forward facing Rong Qin and knelt at Rong Qin's feet. His tone was almost pleading: "Just now, it was... Ye was rude. Please don't do it." Blame it, let alone hurt Ah Rou..."

"My father-in-law is joking, how could I hurt my wife?" Rong Qin sneered, straightened the collar on his chest, his eyes full of sarcasm: "But there are some things that I really don't understand, so I would like to ask my father-in-law."

"Since Madam married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, it seems that the Prime Minister has never treated her harshly. It's just that her daughter's family is inconvenient to go out, so she has been placed in Qingxin Courtyard."

"In the past few years, I have supported my father-in-law to rise rapidly in the court, and your Ye family has also been respected. I really can't understand why you want to betray me?"

Rong Qin bent down, clamped Ye Chong's jaw, and pinched Ye Chong's face hard: "What benefit did Pei Qi give you to help her at all costs, huh?"
