Power ministers always make things difficult for me

What Pei Qi said, everyone present understood that at this juncture, what the court was waiting for was nothing more than a change, a change regarding the new king.

If Li Shi is really trustworthy, this is not an opportunity.

"But even so, it's still too risky. Are there really no omissions in Huang Liao's investigation? This matter cannot be careless. Otherwise, I ask the people in the palace to ask again?" Jiang Yuelian tugged at the hem of her skirt, still uneasy. : "It's better to wait for a few more days."

"No, we can't wait any longer." Pei Qi shook his head firmly: "Zhaolan Palace was built by me. I believe in Huang Liao. Besides, I'm afraid of long nights and many dreams."

"If Rong Qin knows that Li Shi has come to the Taiwei Mansion, he will definitely get rid of him as soon as possible. We can't delay. It's best... it's best to go to court the day after tomorrow."

"So fast?" Cui Shaogong was a little surprised.

Although he probably understood what Pei Qi meant and knew that the sooner the better, he thought about five or seven days, but he did not expect that Pei Qi's plan was the day after tomorrow.

He hasn't been to court for some days, why don't you wait for him to get ready?
He hasn't figured out what to say or do at that time. If something goes wrong...

Pei Qi seemed to understand his intention, and her serious face suddenly became a bit more teasing and mocking. She knocked on the table nonchalantly and spoke slowly: "As far as I know, Lieutenant Cui Xiaotai recently The first time I went to court seemed to be before the battle at Jiamenguan in the northwest. Counting the days, it seemed that it was more than half a year ago."

"It is said that Lieutenant Cui has a cold personality and a bad temper. He is a stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt. If I can't connect with any words... wouldn't it be difficult for me to handle?"

Seeing that Pei Qi was still joking at this time, Jiang Lingfeng simply threw away all his worries and agreed with her: "Yes, Cui Shaogong, you won't hold us back, right?"

Cui Shaogong twitched the corner of his mouth, hearing the joke in their words, and simply said, "What, you dislike me?"

"Actually, I also feel that if I go, I will hold you back, so for the sake of the smooth progress of the National Preceptor's plan, I'd better rest in the Taiwei Mansion. How about it?"

Pei Qi: "..."

Jiang Lingfeng: "..."

good good.

Pei Qi and Jiang Lingfeng were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect that one day they would be silenced by Cui Shaogong's slender head.

Sure enough, if people want arrogant capital, they still have to have a strong fist.

Isn't it great to have military power?
Pei Qi stopped his mocking thoughts, quickly put on a flattering look, and moved closer to Cui Shaogong. Even his title changed: "Farewell, Lord Taiwei, this little girl is weak and I have to hold you." Only these thighs can show off the power of a fox and a tiger!"

"Your Excellency, Taiwei, is a man of great dignity and prestige in the court. What's wrong with his bad temper? What's wrong with his careless talk? As long as you stop there, you don't have to say anything or do anything. Just ask everyone in the court. Come on, who dares to find any fault with you? How can it hinder us~"

"Don't you think so, Jiang Lingfeng!"

Jiang Lingfeng, who was excited to see Pei Qi boasting about his flattery, was suddenly called out. After a quick reaction, he quickly echoed: "Ah... yes, yes, yes!"

"Master Pei is right!"

Jiang Yuelian watched the two singing in harmony and couldn't help covering her lips and snickering.

What are you talking about? On the surface, he is praising Cui Shaogong, but behind his words, he still finds fault with him.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that the Imperial Master, who I saw strategizing and doing things seriously in the past, also had a joking side.

Cui Shaogong listened to Pei Qi's compliment. Although it was very helpful at first, it became more and more uncomfortable after that.

He has a bad temper?Is he talking nonsense?
What a fart!

A few veins could not help but bulge between the wrists: "Pei, Qi!"

But the person involved just stuck out his tongue, automatically overcoming Cui Shaogong's intimidation through gritted teeth, and put his hand on his forehead, pretending to be weak: "Your Majesty, you won't be angry, right? Are you going to hit me, this poor thing?" A weak woman?" Jiang Lingfeng: "..."

I'm really 6.

The corner of Cui Shaogong's mouth twitched a few times. He couldn't stand Pei Qi's pretentious look, so he simply turned his head away and coughed awkwardly.

On the contrary, Jiang Yue's smile became even more uncontrollable, and her usual impression of Pei Qi couldn't help but change a bit.

At first, she didn't understand why Jiang Lingfeng, a bohemian brat, could play with a serious person like Pei Qi since childhood. But now that she saw Pei Qi's other face, she understood.

The Imperial Master is also an interesting person.

As the night got darker, several people discussed their plans for the day ahead and joked around from time to time. In the blink of an eye, they were already approaching the palace confinement.

Because the fifth princess was frightened a few days ago, Jiang Yuelian has been living with Jiang Xueyao in the palace these days and has not returned to her eldest princess' mansion.

So she couldn't stay here for too long and had to go back before the palace confinement.

"I will take care of the matters assigned by the Imperial Master. I don't have much time right now, so I will leave first." Jiang Yuelian stood up and nodded.

"There are some matters at the lower official's house, so I left the house with the eldest princess." Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, Ye Chong did not intend to stay any longer and was ready to leave.

Pei Qi stood up carefully while holding on to the table, and took a few steps back with Chu Dong's support.

She faced everyone and bowed deeply: "Thank you all for taking the time to attend this appointment. Pei Qi is very grateful."

"I will be able to help you all at court in the future."

Ye Chong's back suddenly paused as he left.

He didn't dare to look back at Pei Qi, let alone tell everything about his meeting with Rong Qin.

The Ye family does not have the awe-inspiring military exploits of the Cui family, nor does it have the noble status of Jiang Lingfeng and Jiang Yuelian as princes and grandsons, nor does it have the nobility of Pei Qi who dedicated his life to the world. He is just a general, relying on the Ye family's family background. He had lived in the court for a long time and was granted military power by the late emperor out of loyalty. Apart from that, the only people he cherished were his children.

Ye Rou once again went deep into the tiger's mouth, what qualifications did he have to negotiate with Rong Qin?

I can only... feel sorry for the Imperial Master.

When Ye Chong and Jiang Yuelian disappeared, Cui Shaogong walked to Pei Qi and helped her up: "Okay, everyone has left, go back and rest."

"The battle in the court tomorrow will not be better than the day of your palace banquet."

……

After returning to Ye Mansion, Ye Chong went directly into the study.

Not long after, a swift black figure walked out of the study and disappeared into the darkness in a few jumps.

In the study, Ye Chong tightly clutched the jade bracelet he took back from Rong Qin, his old body trembling slightly, and a tear fell from the letter paper in front of him.

He had to report the conversation at the Taiwei Mansion tonight to Rong Qin, but he also hid something in the letter.

For the Imperial Master, he could only help so much.
