The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

"Master, I have already ordered someone to release the scholar. I have already ordered someone to deal with him before he was released. The blow was not heavy, but he was just walking unsteadily."

"Have you sent someone to follow him and lead him to Prince Xuan's Palace?"

"I understand. This is related to Prince Xuan's Palace. Jun Jian followed him personally."

Yan Qi nodded slightly.

Zhou Pei limped onto the street. Only a few days had passed, but he felt as if he were in another world.

This city defense camp prison is truly the most terrifying place in the world.

Zhou Pei couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the torture he had suffered in the past few days.

"hiss……"

As soon as he walked, the wound on his leg hurt so much that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhou Pei reached out and touched a palm-sized piece of silk hidden in his arms, and he felt much more at ease.

In the past few days, the City Defense Camp Prison has moved all the detainees to new cells several times.

Zhou Pei overheard the jailers chatting and it seemed that they had a new serious criminal in custody and they had to guard against prison breaks.

Some of the inmates have difficulty moving around, and they complain bitterly every time they are moved to a new cell.

However, this decision was exactly what Zhou Pei wanted. King Xuan secretly sent someone to pass on a message, saying that if he could remember the layout of the prison clearly, he would be rewarded handsomely.

Zhou Peizheng was struggling to remember the entire prison environment, but unexpectedly he picked up a blank piece of silk.

Zhou Pei bit his finger and drew all the important parts. Isn't this God's help?

Humph! Don't look at the arrogance of the Fourth Prince now. Wait until I hand this layout map to King Xuan and see how long he can be so arrogant!

Thinking of this, Zhou Pei did not dare to delay and went to Prince Xuan's Palace with the silk in his arms.

"Where did you come from, beggar? How dare you make a noise here? Get out of here!"

Zhou Pei never thought that he would be turned away when he arrived at Prince Xuan's palace.

The gatekeeper of Prince Xuan's mansion waved his hand to drive Zhou Pei away, while covering his nose with a look of disgust.

Zhou Pei looked down at his clothes. They were so dirty that the color could not be seen, and there was an unpleasant smell on his body.

His hair was already tangled and dirty, and the messy hair blocked his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

This was something Zhou Pei had planned long ago. If he delivered the intelligence on behalf of King Xuan in such an embarrassed state, King Xuan would surely be grateful for his loyalty.

So Zhou Pei didn't get angry, he took out a jade token from his arms and handed it to the doorman.

"Please give this to His Royal Highness King Xuan and tell him that I have something important to report to His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness sees this, he will summon me."

When the doorman saw the jade token handed to him by Zhou Pei's dark fingers, he felt disgusted and didn't want to take it.

However, he also recognized that this was something from the palace, so he had to bite the bullet and take the jade order to report.

When King Xuan saw the jade token, it was the one he had promised to Zhou Pei last time.

The servant reported that the person waiting at the door was ragged and smelled bad.

I guess he came here in a hurry to report because he got the intelligence.

Zhou Pei waited at the door for a while and was then invited in. As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, King Xuan came out to greet him with a smile.

"Sir, you risked your life for me, so you deserve my respect!"

As he spoke, he bowed.

Zhou Pei didn't dare to accept it, so he knelt down first.

"Your Majesty, I am too humble."

King Xuan did not insist upon seeing this and brought Zhou Pei into the study.

When he smelled the scent on Zhou Pei, King Xuan frowned slightly without noticing it.

Zhou Pei's injured leg hurt so much that he could not bear it with every step he took. He entered the study without any further delay, took out the silk cloth in his arms and spread it on the desk.

King Xuan glanced at the words under the silk, but said nothing in the end.

"I have finally lived up to the prince's trust and brought back the layout of the City Defense Camp Prison."

King Xuan looked carefully at the pattern on the table, and the expression on his face was finally slowly replaced by joy.

The spy sent out last time only recorded part of the outside and was sent away. The map Zhou Pei brought back just filled the gap.

"Good! Good! Good!"

King Xuan was so happy that he said "good" three times in a row.

Only with this layout map can I design the city defense camp myself.

The layout of the City Defense Camp Prison is very treacherous. Every time my plan fails, it fails. This time, I must succeed.

King Xuan showed a determined smile and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Pei repeatedly.

"Sir, you have really made great contributions to my Prince Xuan's Palace. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

It was only at this time that King Xuan noticed the injury on Zhou Pei's leg.

"Come here! Help Mr. Zhou wash and groom himself, and then ask the palace doctor to treat his injuries. From now on, whenever Mr. Zhou comes to our house, he must be treated as a guest of honor!"

A smile appeared on Zhou Pei's face, which was covered in blood and dirt, and looked particularly hideous.

Seeing Zhou Pei turn around and leave, King Xuan frowned in disgust.

"Take the silk quickly and copy the picture on it. Be careful not to defile my calligraphy."

"Also, light another incense stick. This smell is really unlucky. I need to go change my clothes."

After changing his clothes, Zhou Pei finally felt that he was really alive again.

Just seeing his half-destroyed face in the bronze mirror, Zhou Pei felt so angry that his eyes seemed to bleed.

What was even more unexpected to Zhou Pei was that after the diagnosis, the court doctor said that his leg tendons were injured and he would probably have difficulty walking in the future.

This time, he was arrested and taken to the city defense camp for no reason, which disfigured him and made his leg lame!

No matter it is the Zhao family or the Fourth Prince, they must pay the price!

The sinister look made his whole face look even more terrifying.

Zhou Pei declined King Xuan's suggestion that he stay in the palace to recuperate, since he had already pledged his loyalty to King Xuan and was appreciated by His Majesty.

Then the next step is to settle accounts with the Zhao family.

Zhao Huayin, the falsely noble lady from a high-class family, first pretended to be completely devoted to him.

Later, he changed his mind at the last minute, which caused him to lose his ladder to the Shangshu Mansion.

If he had received the support of the Shangshu Mansion in advance, he would not have had to rush to attend the poetry meeting and fall into the trap of others.

snort!

I am a frivolous woman, what is there to pretend for?

As long as Ying'er and I work together, we will be able to make the matter a fait accompli. By then, will the Shangshu still be able to ignore his son-in-law?

Zhou Pei sat in the carriage of Prince Xuan's palace, looking at the concentric ring in his hand, a sinister smile gradually appeared on his face.

Dianxue brought a bowl of almond tea into the room.

"Girl, you have been embroidering for a long time. You must be careful not to hurt your eyes. Have a bowl of almond tea and take a break."

Zhao Huayin stopped embroidering and rubbed her sore neck.

"How's the situation at the city defense camp?"

"Miss, you guessed it right. Zhou Pei has indeed been released. The people who followed him came back to report.

As soon as Zhou Pei came out, he went to Prince Xuan's Palace and stayed there for most of the day before coming out. Later, he left in the carriage of Prince Xuan's Palace.

He also received many rewards from the Xuanwang Palace."

"Prince Xuan's Palace?"

Zhao Huayin thought carefully and felt that King Xuan was a stubborn, self-righteous and very suspicious person.

The reason why Zhou Pei was so appreciated by King Xuan was that he must have discovered some secrets in the city defense camp and surrendered to the king.

The more Zhao Huayin thought about it, the more suspicious she became. But how should she tell Yan Qi this news?

In his previous life, the first person King Xuan dealt with when he came to power was Yan Qi.

Zhao Huayin put down the bowl in her hand and immediately returned to the embroidery frame.

It would be inappropriate to go there rashly.

The only solution now is to embroider the inkstone screen as soon as possible and meet Yan Qi in the name of giving it as a gift.
