Qin Baiwei smiled and said, "Why? Because she's nosy. She knows that the lilies in my yard and the incense in my room complement each other. If you smell the lilies and then the incense in my room, you will definitely be tempted and climb into my bed. So she deliberately lured the Hua Diao to grab all the lilies in my yard. She ruined my good thing, so of course she deserves to die."

Lin looked at Qin Baiwei who had gone crazy because of Pei Yi, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. She looked at her with disdain: "I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you are just a self-deprecating person who can only see one man in your eyes."

After that, she turned around and looked at Pei Yuan, angrily accusing him: "You men only know how to marry one woman, and then marry another. Having a wife is not enough, and you also want a concubine. Since you promised me that you would give me the position of princess, why did you accept the imperial decree and marry Ji Wanyun? If you don't marry her, nothing will happen."

Pei Yuan looked at Lin's crazy appearance and felt very regretful. It was actually he who killed Yunniang. If he had ignored the rumors outside, taken more care of her, protected her, and been careful of the people around her, she would not have been poisoned and would not have died early.

He suddenly smiled and said to Lin: "Why? Of course it's because I love Yunniang. In my heart, she is my only wife."

After hearing this, all the energy and spirit in Lin's body was drained away, and he became as limp as a melon vine with its support pulled off.

She knew that she had no way to survive. Although Sister Rou had to spend the rest of her life in the cold palace, she had saved her life. The only person she couldn't let go of was Brother Song.

She knew that no matter how much Pei Yuan hated her, he would take good care of Song Ge'er.

She was just a little reluctant and wanted to take one more look at them, but she also felt that there was no need to let the children see her in such a miserable state.

After thinking about it, she pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and inserted it into her throat.

When Aunt Qiu saw this, she hugged Lin and cried, "Miss, why are you doing this? You shouldn't have begged the master to force the prince to agree to the marriage. This marriage has ruined your life."

"Miss, please wait on the way. I will go down to accompany you right away." After saying that, Nanny Qiu pulled out the golden hairpin from Lin's neck and inserted it into her own throat.

Pei Yuan just watched all this quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He stood up and said to Pei Yi: "From now on, you don't need to report to me about the affairs in the palace. You can handle them on your own. I'm tired and want to rest."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.

Qin Baiwei knew she would not survive, so she looked at Pei Yi sadly and said, "Brother Yi, please give me a quick death. I will die peacefully if I can die under your sword."

Pei Yi looked at Qin Baiwei and said, "I won't kill you, because that would dirty my sword. Since you like to be a vicious person, then you should experience the feeling of being with vicious people."

Afterwards, Pei Yi asked Dan Feng to lock the people in the secret room, and asked the Queen of Nanzhao for a basket of snakes and scorpions, and locked them in the secret room together.

When these snakes and scorpions are hungry, they will eat Qin Baiwei to fill their stomachs.

Pei Yi specially asked Dan Feng to light a candle in the secret room so that Qin Baiwei could see the surrounding environment clearly.

Qin Baiwei became weaker and weaker day by day. Every time she woke up, she could feel that a piece of flesh was missing somewhere on her body.

Ten days later, only skeletons remained in many parts of her body. Even the flesh on her chest had been eaten away. She could even see her own heart beating in the dim candlelight.

But it beat weaker and weaker.

When it stopped beating, Qin Baiwei seemed to see the door of liberation finally opened for her. She looked at the light coming through the door and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Yi, I don't want to fall in love with you again in my next life."

She died quietly in this secret room full of snakes and scorpions.

-

Ever since Pei Yi had a daughter, he has completely turned into a daughter slave.

Apart from being busy with state affairs in the court, he also accompanied Dudu in the Prince of Yan's mansion. After getting off duty, he would always decline invitations from court officials.

When Dudu was one year old, the court officials saw that the Regent Princess had no news of pregnancy. But which noble family didn't have a son? Those court officials who had failed to successfully send their daughters to the palace started to have evil thoughts again.

On this day, when Pei Yi was on duty, a woman in green suddenly came out and was knocked unconscious by Pei Yi's carriage.

Dan Feng saw this and hurriedly stopped the horse and said to Pei Yi in the carriage: "Master, my carriage is moving very slowly. Even if someone accidentally hits it, they will not be knocked unconscious."

There was a maidservant next to the woman in green. After hearing what Dan Feng said, she immediately came over and said, "Prince Regent, we are from the residence of Yu, the Minister of Rites. My daughter has been weak since she was a child and cannot stand being frightened. She must have fainted from being frightened."

Pei Yi frowned at the maid, as if he saw through her at a glance. He sneered and said to Dan Feng, "Since Miss Yu fainted from fear, I will naturally be responsible for sending Miss Yu back to the mansion. However, my carriage is too narrow to accommodate a second person. Dan Feng, go and carry Miss Yu back to the Yu Mansion."

Dan Feng understood immediately and walked forward, reaching out to hug Miss Yu.

The maid was so frightened that she quickly stopped him and said, "Prince Regent, men and women should not touch each other, so there is no need for this young man to help. I will definitely send my young lady back to the mansion."

Pei Yi nodded and said to Dan Feng, "Since Miss Yu doesn't need our help, we shouldn't stand in the way here."

Dan Feng responded, jumped onto the carriage, drove the horse slowly, and left.

In the carriage, Pei Yi said to Dan Feng in a deep voice: "Check and see what they want."

Dan Feng received the order and went out at night. After returning, he reported to Pei Yi, "Master, it turns out that Miss Yu has set her eyes on your position as concubine. Not only that, there are several families in the court with daughters of marriageable age who are also eyeing this position."

Pei Yi's face darkened, and he said to Dan Feng, "Don't let the princess know about this."

Dan Feng agreed immediately.

On the second day, at the court meeting, when Duke Zhou had just finished saying "If you have something to report, please report it. If you don't, please leave the court", Pei Yi stood up and said to Li Xun, "I have something to report."

Li Xun sat upright on the dragon chair and said, "What's the matter, Regent? Just say it."

Pei Yi said, "I am now honored to be the regent king, and I also know that I am related to the fate of the Great Jin. A master told me that if I take a concubine, my fortune will be ruined. I am willing to swear here that I will never take concubines. I only hope that the fortune of the Great Jin will prosper."

After saying that, Pei Yi winked at Li Xun.

Li Xun immediately understood and said seriously: "Lord Pei has the world in his heart and is the role model for all the ministers."

From then on, if anyone wanted to send their daughter to his house again, Pei Yi would point it out directly at the court meeting and question the person: "Your Excellency asked me to take a concubine, is it to ruin the national destiny of Dajin?"

Which courtier would dare to bear such a stigma? Then they all gave up the idea of ​​sending their daughters to the Prince Regent's Palace.

As Li Xun grew older, these court officials seemed to see new hope.

Ten years later, the fifteen-year-old Li Xun was playing chess with Pei Yi in the imperial study room and complained: "Uncle Pei, can't you think of a way to get rid of these people for me?"

Pei Yi looked at the boy who had grown up and said, "It is indeed time for the emperor to get married. After the wedding, when he takes charge of the government, the court officials will see that the emperor has really grown up and will not dare to look down on him. If the emperor really has a daughter from the boudoir that he likes, he can also take her into the palace."

When dealing with gentlemen, use the ways of gentlemen; when dealing with villains, use the ways of villains. The best way for the emperor to win over those court officials who are willing to give their daughters is to accept their daughters. "

Li Xun immediately didn't want to continue this topic with Pei Yi.

Ever since the Regent Princess brought Sheng Jie'er into the palace for the first time, he had made up his mind about who would be the queen.

Pei Yishen is the second daughter of Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi. She was born in the third year of Jingming and is still a little girl now.

Li Xun thought that he would have to wait at least eight years, until the girl reached the age of marriage, before he could propose to the Regent.

Li Xun asked Pei Yi again, "At the next day's grand court meeting, will Uncle Pei really resign from his position as regent?"

Pei Yi nodded and said, "I have been working like a slave for the Jin Dynasty for more than ten years, getting up early and working late. Your Majesty should let me take a break. Now I just want to spend some peaceful days with A Yuan. Later, I will take A Yuan out to sea to see the sea. If we go too far, the letter may not reach us. Please don't worry about me, Your Majesty."

Li Xun knew that Pei Yi said this to reassure him, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This was because between him and Uncle Pei, as he grew up, Uncle Pei was no longer as close to him as he was to a child.

I am alone, am I really destined to be alone?

But he knew that Pei Yi was determined to leave, and it was useless for him to persuade him.

In the winter of the tenth year of Jingming, at the last grand court meeting of the year, Regent Pei Yi resigned from his post and went on a long sea voyage with the Regent Princess and their two daughters.

It is said that they visited various countries in Southeast Asia, and not only spread the culture of the Great Jin Dynasty to these countries, but also brought back various new technologies from the Nanyang countries and presented them to the Great Jin Dynasty court. The court sent special people to teach them among the people, and after they were popularized, they greatly improved people's lives.

In the twentieth year of Jingming, the latest rumor about the Prince Regent and Princess Regent was that they were now settled in Lingnan. It was said that in addition to two beautiful young ladies, they also had a handsome young man.
