Tragic death and rebirth, married to the abstinent uncle and was spoiled crazy

There is a slight chill in early winter, with a thin mist floating in the air.

On the ancient road under the city wall, the fallen leaves formed a thick carpet, making a rustling sound when stepped on.

Occasionally, pedestrians passed by. They wrapped their clothes tightly, walked hurriedly, and their faces showed vigilance for the coming cold winter.

Deep in the alley, smoke rises up as every household begins to prepare breakfast. The fire gradually lights up, creating warmth and the aroma of food fills the air.

Children were running around in the alleys, their hands in their pockets, the hot air they exhaled forming white mist in the cold air.

In the fields outside the city, the rice ears have been harvested, leaving only the figures of scarecrows. They stand alone on the ridges of the fields, as if looking forward to the next harvest season.

Occasionally, a few cranes flew across the sky, leaving behind a few sad cries. As the daylight gradually rose, the temperature also began to rise, but the coolness still lingered between the clothes.

There was no sadness in the palace, but rather a joyous scene.

When the New Year comes, everyone will receive rewards, and some masters in the palace will even give extra rewards.

Winter is the happiest time of the year, as the palace maids can leave the palace when the age limit is reached. For them, it means one year closer to leaving the palace.

Pei Yanli walked along the long corridor, across the quietly flowing pool, and through the red silk curtain door. His Majesty was sitting high on the dragon throne.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty, Father..." He bowed respectfully.

His Majesty ignored him. There was calmness in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the densely packed names on the paper in his hand. He sat quietly on the high seat.

At this moment, the emperor's loneliness seemed to suddenly stand out, but he didn't say anything, and Pei Yanli didn't dare to say anything either. He just lowered his head and waited quietly.

After a long while, His Majesty's hoarse voice sounded, "How confident are you about the people on the list?"

Pei Yanli clenched his fists slightly, "Father, I am 90% sure."

In fact, he was 100% sure that no one on the list was clean, and there were even many people he hadn't dug out.

His Majesty closed his eyes and sighed, his voice heavy, "You have done a great job. I didn't know that you, the Crown Prince, were capable of this."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my duty as a son to help you solve your problems." Pei Yanli lowered his head, looking humble.

His Majesty looked at the list in his hand and closed his eyes. "What do you think about this matter, Your Majesty?"

For a moment, Pei Yanli's heart was filled with alarm. This was now His Majesty's world, and his subjects were also His Majesty's subjects. How dare he interfere?

Even if he is the crown prince, this position is always precarious and if one is not careful one could end up in ruin.

The position of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is even more difficult to sit on than your Majesty's throne.

"Your son is stupid, this matter still needs the decision of the emperor."

His Majesty laughed, "My good son, you are not stupid, you are too smart." After that, His Majesty slammed the table and said, "Speak! I want you to speak!"

Although he had guessed this result, Pei Yanli still hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "Father, I think it's better to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. There are too many people involved, and it will definitely be difficult to handle in a short period of time."

His Majesty lowered his head and looked at the list carefully again, then slowly spoke, "Yan Li, tell me, who should I kill and who should I use as a warning?"

Pei Yanli gritted his teeth, but he shouldn't say anything next. After all, this was His Majesty's decision and he must not interfere.

His Majesty looked at him with a smile, and suddenly asked, "You said you are the emperor's uncle, do you have anything to do with this matter?"

Pei Yanli's heart tightened, he knew what His Majesty meant, he just wanted to turn this chicken into Pei Jinan.

Kill two birds with one stone. As a member of the royal family, he can intimidate others and bring him down at the same time. This is your majesty's ultimate goal.

But Pei Yanli knew clearly that this matter had nothing to do with Pei Jinan, and he also knew that Beixiang would attack Yongjin in the near future, and the entire Yongjin would be in danger.

If it weren't for Pei Jinan, even Pei Yanli wouldn't be completely confident.

Beixiang is more treacherous than Nanman, and the person who defeated Beixiang every time over the years was Pei Jinan. If he were not there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Pei Yanli lowered his head with a complicated expression. His Majesty must be aware of this truth. As long as Pei Jinan is there, he will have a deterrent effect on Beixiang. If he is not there, it will be different.

But why did His Majesty throw this question to him?

What does Your Majesty want to test?

……

Pei Jinan was sitting in the yard fiddling with flowers and plants.

When the weather gets colder in a few days, you will have to move the flowers and plants into the greenhouse. If you leave them in the garden, they will be frozen to death.

Qingyu walked over slowly, "Prince, I heard that the list has been delivered to His Majesty."

Pei Jinan finished watering the flowers at hand before he spoke slowly, "I didn't know my nephew had such a skill."

After a pause, he asked, "How is that cruel official now?"

"After the autumn, the whole clan will be executed."

Pei Jinan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Did he say anything?"

"According to our people, he said nothing and did not reveal the person behind it."

"That's strange. If he didn't give out the person behind the scenes, how could my nephew know so much? I think this cruel official doesn't know as much as he does."

Pei Jinan narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "Go check who the Crown Prince has been in contact with recently."

"Yes." After saying that, Qingyu turned and left.

Pei Jinan looked at the flower in front of him, took out a small wooden shovel to loosen the soil for it, and murmured softly, "Pei Yanli, let me take a good look at what secrets you have."

……

Pei Yanli walked out of the hall slowly, his body swaying involuntarily. Finally, Changfeng stepped forward to support him.

This time he was careless. He never expected that there was that man behind the cruel official.

Your Majesty has always been very picky about corruption, so he found it a little strange that the harsh officials could embezzle for such a long time right before your Majesty's eyes and were not discovered until after he ascended the throne.

It turns out that person was protecting him from the beginning to the end, and it turns out that the truth behind it from the beginning to the end was like this.

All of this is terrifying when you think about it.

Chang Feng asked with some concern, "Your Highness, what happened to you? Do you want me to find a royal doctor for you?"

Pei Yanli shook his head slowly and said, "No need, it's nothing serious, go back to the East Palace."

"Yes, Your Highness—"

A group of people followed Pei Yanli back to the East Palace.

For a moment he doubted whether what he did was right or wrong.
