After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

At the same time, in the Xu family study.

The afternoon sun was scorching, but Pei Guichen was wearing a fox fur coat.

The old housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, bringing an old farmer.

Beside the tea table by the sandalwood window, Pei Guichen closed Yuan Chenjing's letter and looked up indifferently. The old farmer selling vegetables took off his straw hat and undressed in disguise.

It turned out to be Pei Nanshan from the Huainan Pei family, who was supposed to hide his tracks.

Pei Lang of Huainan is a man of elegant talent.

Even though he is already middle-aged, his charm remains as good as ever.

"You caused a scene in a brothel and brought trouble to the Xu family." Pei Nanshan attacked directly: "You paid such a price, but what you got was - this broken charcoal stick?"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Nanshan raised his hand and threw the charcoal stick into the brazier.

The charcoal sticks were burning, making crackling sounds.

The jumping little flames were reflected in Pei Guichen's cold eyes.

Pei Nanshan said sarcastically: "This 30 million charcoal fire really warms my heart. I'm afraid that even the old Emperor Xuanyuan has never enjoyed it."

However, Pei Guichen's eyes were sharp and he responded indifferently.

There was a sudden silence in the study.

Pei Nanshan thought to himself that his son had become a different person since he entered the palace.

Even colder and more ruthless.

Also, you can predict things more accurately.

Over the past six months, in the Pei family's several plans, Pei Guichen always made a better move and defeated his opponents, bringing great benefits to the Pei family.

But it also makes it even more difficult for him as a father to control.

Pei Nanshan is like the old emperor, with someone to succeed him.

I feel both relieved and worried.

The young beasts grew up, but the old king grew old.

Eventually, there will be a day of backlash.

Pei Nanshan suppressed his murderous intent and brought the latest news from the capital: "The old emperor's medicine dosage is getting stronger and stronger, and he won't live long. However, although he brought the Sixth Prince with him, he still refused to agree to appoint a new crown prince."

As he spoke, Pei Nanshan questioned Pei Guichen in a cold voice.

"Do you understand what your father said?"

Pei Guichen picked up the teacup, and his face was reflected in the clear tea.

His appearance is as cold and dignified as that of a banished immortal, but the soul of Emperor Tiansheng inside is sinister and cruel.

Of course he understood what Pei Nanshan said.

The most powerful northern frontier cavalry of Daqi is in the hands of King Feng Ran.

If the Pei family raises an army, they will have no chance of seizing the throne.

Thinking of this, Pei Guichen sneered.

In order to avoid being branded as a traitor, the Pei family had to have a legitimate reason to fight.

If it was the old Emperor Xuanyuan of Taiji Palace who was extremely licentious, it would be a simple matter.

The Pei family then had a righteous excuse to plead for the people.

Then naturally, he ascended to the throne.

Unfortunately, although the old emperor was so romantic, he also wanted to be a wise ruler.

Seeing Pei Guichen's indifference and silence, Pei Nanshan became angry.

"Since your plan to control the Crown Princess will not work, you can replace it with a baby prince who is easier to manipulate. When the little prince ascends the throne, the Pei family will assist in governing the country. In five years at most, kill the little prince, change the family name, and change the dynasty."

In this way, the Pei family can still seize the throne at the lowest cost.

After saying this, Pei Nanshan gave the order coldly.

"So, Xuanyuan Diyang cannot stay."

"She has already eliminated a Xuanwang Mansion. We must stop her from continuing her investigation."

Pei Nanshan's answer was the mocking murderous intent reflected in the tea soup by Pei Guichen.

Speaking of it, patricide is something that happens once, but becomes familiar the second time.

My father is old, and the Pei family does not need two masters.

In silence, Pei Guichen raised his eyes and looked at Pei Nanshan.

With an indifferent face, he smiled very lightly.

In late autumn, the sky darkens quickly.

When the sunset filled the sky, the deputy naval officer of the Dafulou ship came to report: "Shanniang confessed that she has evidence to identify Master Sheng Jue and wants to meet His Highness."

Hearing this, Abao played with the red maple hairpin.

Shanniang was controlled by the Pei family and wanted to kill her, so she would naturally not see them.

But, they can only be arrested if they are guilty.

She will give Shanniang a chance to assassinate her.

August 27, early morning, Jiangnan city gate.

A woman was hanged to death, with a piece of blood-stained writing hanging next to her.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, and spoke with tears and blood to seek justice.

The pregnancy thing was actually framed by Xiao Jingyue! I am innocent!!

Xiao Jingyue! Wu Su! Adulterer and adulteress!

Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!

As the sun rose, more and more people came and left the city.

Someone shouted, "That seems to be the third young lady of Prince Xiao's Mansion!"

A man wearing a bamboo hat nearby echoed, "It's really Miss Xiao San! The white bloody words are about the recent uproar. Is Xiao Jingyue pregnant?"

The man was surprised: "Really! Are the Xiao family so good at playing?"

"Miss Xiao San is really innocent!" The man in the bamboo hat deliberately shouted, "Xiao Jingyue actually has two faces. She teamed up with her lover and cruelly forced her own sister to death!"

Upon hearing the news, Princess Xiao quickly sent guards from the Xiao residence to the city gate to collect the body.

However, he was told that Xiao Linglai's body had already been taken away by the personal guards sent by Censor Zhang.

Upon hearing the guard's report, Princess Xiao angrily threw the teacup.

Censor Zhang inspected the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the emperor.

With the Xiezhi sword bestowed by the emperor in his hand, he can kill first and report later.

Zhang Lanheng must have other plans for intervening in this matter.

Late at night, outside Jiangnan City, in the dense forest.

Next to the carriage, Xiao Linglai bowed and saluted, saying gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Manager Liu."

"If you want to thank someone, thank my wife." Liu Ruyi looked back at the carriage under the old tree: "My wife said that this is what Miss Third deserves for her good deeds."

Hearing this, Xiao Linglai couldn't help but sigh.

The cruel owner of the brothel was different from the rumors.

Looking at the carriage under the old tree, Xiao Linglai bowed with a serious expression.

"Linglai, thank you Madam for giving me a new life."

Being far away, she knew the lady couldn't hear.

"Linglai has to trouble Manager Liu again to help convey this message to Madam. Linglai will definitely not let Madam down for the life she has given him."

In silence, Liu Ruyi agreed.

Only then did Xiao Linglai stand up, get into the carriage and leave.

Liu Ruyi watched the carriage disappear into the night.

Thinking about recent events, he rubbed his aching neck and sighed.

In this world, it is easier to be a ghost than a human.
