After everyone left, Emperor Jing Zhao wanted to return to the harem.
After he came back, he just rewarded the daughter of a court official to enter the palace as a concubine, and he has been in high spirits these days.
Unexpectedly, when the imperial carriage was halfway on the way, a palace maid from the Yikun Palace came to report that the Queen wanted to see her.
Emperor Jing Zhao actually liked Queen Pei Jingrou. At least she was willing to cooperate with him in matters of sex, except that she was sometimes jealous.
What's more, the Prince of Yan's Mansion is standing behind her, so Emperor Jing Zhao has to give her face.
He frowned slightly, but still instructed the eunuch who led the way: "Go to Yikun Palace."
The current Yikun Palace has already changed its owner.
When Pei Jingrou saw Emperor Jing Zhao coming in, she quickly went over to greet him and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you."
Emperor Jing Zhao took her hand and helped her up, then led her inside.
He sat on the small couch, hugged her, put her on his legs, lifted her chin and asked, "You came to me so quickly, did you miss me?"
Pei Jingrou pinched Emperor Jing Zhao's thigh and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is so annoying. He always teases me for fun."
Emperor Jing Zhao smiled and asked Pei Jingrou, "Tell me, why did you come to me so anxiously?"
Pei Jingrou looked at Emperor Jing Zhao, blinked, and asked, "I heard that the emperor rewarded meritorious officials in the previous dynasty. I don't want to interfere in state affairs, but I just want to ask what the emperor's reward is for my brother and the Prince of Yan's Mansion?"
After hearing this, Emperor Jing Zhao's face turned gloomy.
Pei Jingrou asked carefully: "What's wrong? Did my elder brother make the emperor angry?"
Emperor Jing Zhao snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that he drove the Turks away, I would have thrown him into the imperial prison today just because he has been disrespectful to me many times."
Pei Jingrou calmed down Emperor Jing Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, please stop being angry. My elder brother has always been conceited and arrogant. He often has a stern face even when he is at home with my mother."
She continued to ask Emperor Jing Zhao, "Your Majesty hasn't told me yet, what exactly did you reward my elder brother with?"
Emperor Jing Zhao snorted and said, "He said he didn't want anything, he just wanted me to give him a divorce decree, so that he could divorce Qin and marry Xie as his crown prince's consort."
Pei Jingrou's eyes rolled and she exclaimed, "My elder brother is so confused! Sister Qin treats her so well. Besides, the emperor's successful ascension to the throne is also due to Sister Qin's contribution. Your Majesty, don't forget that the Queen of Nanzhao has announced to the world that Xie is her biological daughter and can inherit the position of the Queen of Nanzhao in the future. My elder brother holds military power in his hands. If he colludes with Nanzhao one day, won't Dajin be in danger again? Your Majesty can't let him leave Dajin."
After hearing this, Emperor Jing Zhao fell into deep thought.
On the second day, two imperial edicts were issued from the palace.
One was given to Pei Yi, ordering him to serve as the commander of the imperial guards and be responsible for their daily training and patrols.
The other one was sent to the General Zhenxi's Mansion, granting Zhao Qin the title of Qing Fei and letting her live in Feiluan Palace. She would be brought into the palace on an auspicious day ten days later.
At the same time, many rumors were spread in the capital, saying that the former eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion was actually a witch from Nanzhao who was proficient in witchcraft. The reason why the Great Jin was invaded by the Three Kingdoms Alliance and trampled by the Turks was because of this witch.

After the capital was settled, Pei Yuan took Pei Jingshu and Pei Jingyu back to live in Prince Yan's mansion.
Pei Yuan was naturally ridiculed by Lin for a while.
Although Pei Yi had returned to the capital, he had never returned to Prince Yan's Mansion since he knew that Qin Baiwei was living in Tingxue Residence, and had always lived in the military camp.
On this day, he suddenly returned to Prince Yan's Mansion and hurried to Tingxueju.
Although Pei Yi never returned to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Qin Baiwei did not go to invite him. She knew in her heart that it was impossible for Pei Yi to abandon such a huge Prince of Yan's Mansion and never come back for the rest of his life.
Today she heard from Gancao that the prince had returned and was heading towards Tingxueju, and she was very happy.
She specially asked Gancao to recomb her hair, put on the most expensive hairpins and jewelry, and went to the door of Tingxueju to greet her.
Unexpectedly, the one who came was Pei Yi with a gloomy face.
As soon as Pei Yi saw Qin Baiwei, he reached out and grabbed her neck, pushing her against the wall behind him.
Gan Cao immediately came over to plead for mercy, but was slapped away by Pei Yi and fainted in an instant.
A feeling of shortness of breath and impending death instantly hit Qin Baiwei.
She desperately grabbed Pei Yi's wrist, trying to pull him away, but she still felt that the breath in her throat was getting less and less, and it seemed as if her larynx was about to be broken.
Pei Yi was like a soul-catcher, with red eyes, pinching her neck, gritting his teeth, wishing he could send her to hell immediately.
Just when she thought she was going to die, Pei Yi let her go and threw her to the ground.
"For my mother's sake, I will spare your life today. If you dare to spread rumors again or do something behind my back, my Autumn Water Sword has never killed a woman in the harem, so I don't mind using you as a sacrifice to the sword."
The sound was as cold and sharp as if it came from the snowy mountains.
Qin Baiwei lay on the ground, rubbing her throat and gasping for breath, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes, not knowing whether it was because of panting or sadness, as she watched Pei Yi stride away.
Not until the dark figure disappeared did a sinister smile appear on her face.
After Pei Yi returned to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, he left the Mansion and continued to live in the military camp.
A few days later, he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion again because Pei Jingyu suddenly became ill and was in a coma all day.
Pei Jingshu came to visit her sister every day, but she never woke up. The worry on her face became more and more serious day by day. She couldn't help crying and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Pei Yi looked at his sister who was rapidly losing weight on the hospital bed. He felt that she was as fragile as a snowflake that could disappear at any time.
He frowned and asked Pei Jingshu, "Have you asked a doctor to see what's wrong with my third sister?"
Pei Jingshu cried and said, "We have invited several doctors to come and see her, but none of them can figure out what is going on. I am afraid that if this continues, my third sister will not survive for a few more days."
Pei Yi suddenly thought that if Ah Yuan was here, she would be able to immediately see what the problem was with her third sister.
After thinking about it, he summoned a confidant and asked him to invite Doctor Hang and Doctor Ye to treat his third sister.
The confidant first went to pick up Doctor Hang, and then went to pick up Ye Guici, and brought them all to Prince Yan's Mansion and to the Rose Courtyard.
Treating the disease was the most important thing, so Pei Yi did not exchange pleasantries with the two old doctors. He simply explained Pei Jingyu's condition and asked them to treat Pei Jingyu.
Although Ye Guici's medical skills were slightly better than those of Doctor Hang, he knew that Doctor Hang was his master's grandfather, although not a blood relative, so he insisted on asking him first.
Doctor Hang did not delay and took Pei Jingyu's pulse first.
Both of them frowned slightly when taking the pulse.
After it was over, Dr. Hang said, "Miss Third looks like she has been poisoned."
After hearing this, Pei Yi's face became much gloomier. He looked at Ye Guici, waiting for his answer.
Ye Guici nodded at him.
"Miss Third has indeed been poisoned. This poison can cause a person to fall into a long sleep, trapped in a nightmare, unable to eat or drink, and slowly consume the body until it runs out of energy."
Pei Yi asked him: "Can you two cure this poison?"
Doctor Hang shook his head and said, "I am not good at dealing with poisons."
Pei Yi placed his hopes on Ye Guici, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him nod.
Afterwards, he sent someone to send Doctor Hang back to the Hang Mansion.
Ye Guici stayed to detoxify Pei Jingyu.
Pei Yi looked at his sister who was as thin as a paper man on the bed, and said hatefully: "No matter who bullied you, I will make her pay a heavy price."
