Pei Qi came in wearing court clothes at the beginning, which was consistent with the appearance they were familiar with. In addition, they were all focused on the truth about the late emperor's affairs, so they completely forgot that Pei Qi had been confirmed by Rong Qin on the day he was imprisoned. It's a woman.

Previously, they thought that the Imperial Preceptor was thin and delicate, but her ability to guide the country was not comparable to that of a woman, so they never doubted that the Imperial Preceptor was a girl. Now looking at her face, it was indeed possible for a woman to be disguised as a man.

In this way, even if the grievances have been cleared, how will a woman go to court in the future?
Pei Qi gradually lost his joy just now and lowered his head silently.

She knew it was not that simple.

Yes, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be involved in politics in Dasheng Kingdom. Even the Queen Mother has to use the hands of others to achieve her goals, let alone her?

Although her former fame can offset the crime of deceiving the emperor by disguising herself as a man, it is indeed a foolish dream for her to enter the court as a woman.

After all, men's power is deeply ingrained in Dasheng. No matter how high and powerful she once was, this group of people will not change their view of women.

Pei Qi pursed his lips and swallowed gently.

If that's the case, then simply...

Keep being a man.

Everyone in the palace was waiting for her response.

Finally, after being silent for a long time, Pei Qi slowly raised his head.

She took two steps toward Rong Qin, opened her slightly pale lips, and said something confusing: "My master... doesn't seem to understand what the right minister said."

Pei Qi's unreasonable words left Rong Qin a little confused.

What does she mean?
Under Rong Qin's different gaze, Pei Qi's face was full of doubts, and he even pretended to be insulted: "What kind of woman is pretending to be a man? What kind of deceiving the king? Is the right minister joking? How come my country Master, don’t you know anything?”

"A dignified, eight-foot-tall man, with handsome features and a majestic air, is actually said to be a woman by the right minister. This, this, this... is simply unreasonable!"

Jiang Lingfeng: "..."

Cui Shaogong: "..."

Rong Qin: "..."

Although Jiang Lingfeng and Cui Shaogong knew what she was going to do next, they still couldn't help laughing silently after seeing her poor acting skills.

An eight-foot man?I think six feet is about right...

His handsome features and majestic air were not noticeable at all.

Rong Qin, on the other hand, looked at the "sick" Pei Qi in front of him with confusion and couldn't figure out what it meant.

He saw the woman's body with his own eyes under the prison uniform in prison, not to mention that Pei Qi had been around him for so long as Ye Rou, so there was absolutely no mistake.

No matter how smart she is and no matter how many methods she has, the physical consequences of her parents cannot be concealed at any cost.

But what is her intention in looking like this?

At the end of the road, struggling to the death?

Do you really think that as long as you don't admit it, you can get away with it?

With Pei Qi's strategy, how could she come up with such a ridiculous solution?
Naturally, Rong Qin had no intention of messing around with her, and said with a cold face: "I would like to advise Mr. Pei not to pretend to be stupid. You are a daughter. I saw it with my own eyes in prison. How can I still deceive you with my eyes?" Isn’t it human?”

"I advise Mr. Pei to admit it on his own. Don't wait until his true identity is verified before Mr. Pei becomes speechless."

"Okay, then let's verify his identity and convince the right prime minister." As soon as Rong Qin finished speaking, Pei Qi followed his words, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Maybe, The Prime Minister was just blind that day, did he see it wrong?"

Rong Qin did not expect that Pei Qi would agree so decisively, nor did he expect that she would speak out about voluntary physical examination without fear despite her daughter's body.

She knew exactly what it meant.

Could it be that there is some way in this world that he doesn't know that can turn a woman into a man?

Do not make jokes.Even though Rong Qin was a little hesitant, since things had developed to this point, Pei Qi still had to be tested.

He wanted to see what Pei Qi was up to.

"Master Pei, do you really have no regrets?" Rong Qin half-squinted his eyes and asked again.

"What do you regret?" Pei Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "My master is a real man, so why should he be afraid of being tested?"

"However, Master Rong Ben would like to remind you that although this matter is not as serious as the late emperor's case, it is also unprecedented. The right minister must carefully consider who should examine Pei's body in order to convince the courtiers."

Indeed, as Pei Qi said, it is simple to verify the identity, but who will do the verification requires some consideration.

If you choose Pei Qi, you will confuse the public; if you choose him, you will not be able to convince the courtiers; if you choose someone who makes false claims, you will be afraid of misfortune.

This is really a problem.

Compared to Rong Qin's confusion, Pei Qi was calm and calm, without any worries at all.

On his face, there was no anxiety about his true identity being revealed.

I don’t know if he is pretending to be calm or not.

The officials present also speculated who Rong Qin would choose to do this.

In the entire palace, everyone has their own thoughts.

After a long silence, Rong Qin's voice reached everyone's ears again. He turned around and bowed to Jiang Fengchuan: "Excuse me, Lord Supervisor, please ask the great eunuch Ji Yun to verify the identity of Lord Pei."

The great eunuch Ji Yun, a close confidant of the late emperor, was on an equal footing with Liu Yushun.

It's just that this person didn't care about the kindness of the late emperor as much as Liu Yushun, let alone someone who grew up with the late emperor. He was only transferred to work for the late emperor when he was about [-] years old.

Compared with Liu Yushun, this person does not value power as much as him, does not make friends with others, does not look at people's faces, and does not accept personal bribes with money.

Many officials in the court tried to take him into their own hands, but all failed in the end.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was appreciated and reused by the late emperor.

Therefore, Rong Qin chose him to examine Pei Qi's body, so he would not have to worry about Pei Qi making any small moves to distort the facts, and he could also dispel the doubts of the courtiers.

Ji Yun never tells lies.

Regarding Rong Qin's decision, although Jiang Fengchuan didn't know what it meant, he still complied with it. Not long after, Ji Yun was summoned and walked into the hall.

He straightened his back and knelt down in the hall: "Slave Ji Yun, please bow to the prisoner."

Calculating his age, Ji Yun is even five years younger than the late emperor. His voice is not as sharp and flattering as that of ordinary eunuchs, but is much deeper.

Pei Qi also knew Ji Yun's personality. Perhaps such a person was not suitable for lowering his status to become an eunuch. To be an official in the court, he must also be an upright official.

It's a pity.

Pei Qi turned around following Ji Yun's voice, figured out Ji Yun's direction under the guidance of the person supporting him, and nodded lightly to him: "Eunuch Ji, please come with me if you'd like."

When Ji Yun heard this, he raised his head slightly and took in Pei Qi's smiling face.

An invisible flash of strange color flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden and no one noticed it.

When the two entered the back hall of the court, Jiang Lingfeng moved towards Cui Shaogong and took a deep breath.

He couldn't help but whispered to Cui Shaogong in a low voice: "If I were Rong Qin, I would be unlucky for eight lifetimes to have such an enemy."

Cui Shaogong couldn't help but feel a little funny. He poked Jiang Lingfeng gently with his elbow, and then looked in the direction where Pei Qi and Ji Yun disappeared, with approval flashing in his eyes.

"Step by step, under control, that's all."
