Pei Gonggui

The palace guards guarding outside the hall immediately surrounded him, and all of them put their hands on the weapons on their waists, blocking Pei Jun's way out.

This scene reminded Pei Jun of being arrested and imprisoned in his previous life, and the back of his head felt as if he had been slapped with ice, and the coldness dissipated instantly, and even the palm of his hand holding the wat board seemed to hurt. stand up.

He turned around and looked at Jiang Zhan who was slowly walking behind him, his brows gathered together and said: "The emperor is detaining the court official without reason."

"Pei Qing once taught me that I am the imperial court, and the officials appointed by the imperial court are the ones I appoint. Since I can order them, why can't I arrest them? Besides, isn't Pei Qing just wanting to resign from office today? Isn't this an act of disobedience to the emperor's order?" Jiang Zhan was four or five steps away from him, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, and he said slowly through a group of palace guards, "No one in my palace has ever thought of coming here. Come and leave as you like, except for you. But I have allowed you to stay at ease for many years, but it was never for you to leave me and leave."

Seeing that Jiang Zhan was angry, Hu Li hurriedly waved his hand, and said in a fake reproach, "Oh, what are you doing blankly? Why don't you invite Mr. Pei to the inner palace?"

A line of guards immediately approached Pei Jun even more, opened a road that was only big enough for one person, and raised their hands respectfully to Pei Jun.

Pei Jun glanced coldly at everyone surrounding him, and sure enough he could call out everyone's name when he saw them.He looked at Jiang Zhan, and sneered sarcastically: "The emperor still remembers who laid these people down for you back then? I didn't expect that in the end, they were actually used to deal with——"

"Of course I remember, but I'm afraid you forgot who you laid them out for..." Jiang Zhan interrupted Pei Jun hollowly and sadly, his tone suddenly became low, as if to sigh, "That's all. In my opinion , Pei Qing may have had too many miscellaneous things recently, and her mind was confused, so she thought of quitting. After resting and recuperating, it is not too late to return to the position to do things. After all, the court...will not stop without anyone, and Pei Qing can rest assured to be raised in the palace." Speaking of this, he raised his hand and ignored it. Riding the intricately embroidered inner lining of the cuffs of the court clothes, he slowly said:

"By the way...before going to court, I have sent someone to the Zhongyihou's mansion to bring Jiang Xuan into the palace. He should be able to come in soon to accompany you, and you can also accompany him to recuperate well. I will send the imperial physician to take care of him He, in this way, you don’t have to worry about his leg getting sick.” After finishing speaking, he did not wait for Pei Jun to open his mouth, he had already thought about it and ordered softly: “You guys take Mr. Pei to Liuying Hall...”

"When he gets there, he should be more familiar with it."

Liuying Hall is located in the northeast of the Forbidden Palace. It is the south side hall of the East Palace Shouqing Hall. It gets its name from its special door and partition.

All the doors and windows of Liuying Hall were hand-carved by the master craftsmen of the previous dynasty, so each window, door and partition has a different grid and waist panel.But the same thing is that these carvings are small and brittle, delicate and gorgeous. The center of each carving is pierced by thin sticks either horizontally or vertically, and they are firmly embedded in rows. When the wind blows, one When the hula turns, it can always break the sunlight and moonlight penetrating through the doors and windows into slender and swaying shadows, and the flash of spirit flows between the walls of the palace.The scene is very much like the glowing fireflies flying in the forest on a summer night.

Jiang Zhan lived in the Liuying Hall before and for the first three years after he ascended the throne. Afterwards, when his wings gradually filled up, he was able to move out of this side hall and truly entered the Chongning Hall where the imperial spirit gathered.

A group of palace guards led Pei Jun to turn around the corridor and the corner of the corridor, and followed him to the gate of the palace among the red flowers of the palace road, where there were overgrown palace roads in spring, and sent him into the inner hall, and all of them withdrew to guard the outside.

When Jiang Zhan lived here back then, Pei Jun had entered and exited Liuying Hall countless times, knowing that there were no secret passages or dark rooms here, and now that he was locked up, he didn't bother to search around. But the feet couldn't stop pacing back and forth, and looked out of the hall through the window screen from time to time. After waiting for a stick of incense, he suddenly heard a cry from outside the door, and immediately knocked on the door and shouted: "Xuan'er! Xuan'er? "

The next moment the palace door opened, and a big eunuch with three or five blood marks scratched on his face brought Jiang Xuan in. He glanced at Pei Jun anxiously, and breathed out, "My lord, Mr.... His Royal Highness..." Here we go, His Highness's fists and kicks are too powerful..."

Jiang Xuan in his arms kicked his arm with one foot, and when he saw Pei Jun, he stretched out his hands in a panic: "Uncle! Uncle hug!"

Pei Jun hurriedly carried the baby into his arms, pushed the big eunuch away and walked out—before he walked down the stone steps in front of the hall, the surrounding guards surrounded him with weapons under the eunuch's exclamation.

Pei Jun took a half step back with the child in his arms, and asked in a cold voice: "Does the emperor allow you to hurt me? Does the emperor allow you to hurt the prince?" After finishing speaking, he raised his leg and walked out again.

The guards held weapons and did not dare to get close to him. They couldn't help but fight with him and dragged him to the gate, then they had no choice but to say: "Master Pei is brilliant, the emperor really forbids us to hurt you... But there are so many of us, so we can't wait for you." You can't get out here, you, you don't make it difficult for us..."

"Then why didn't you find it difficult when I promoted you in the early years?" Pei Jun put Jiang Xuan, who was full of fear, in his arms, patted the child on the back, and Ling Ran looked at the guard who was talking. , with a majestic face, raised his long eyebrows and reprimanded loudly: "Whoever settled down for you, who settled the little lady and owed money for you, I'm afraid you have forgotten all about it! It's not me, Pei Jun, all of you are still guarding the city wall of Nanjing Pass, and you can blow the sky if you fart, how can you live a good life like you are torturing me now!"

Those guards immediately blushed and didn't try to stop them again. Pei Jun tried to go out again, but he could only reach the corner of the veranda, and was forced back by the guards on the outer floor. The guards scolded all together——

He knew that he couldn't get out like this, but the first thing he could do right now was to yell, so that more people would know that Pei Jun was imprisoned in Liuying Palace.In this way, if Jiang Yue puts eyeliner in the Forbidden Palace, he may soon know that Jiang Zhan has been placed under house arrest.This way, Jiang Yue can think of ways to help him out outside the palace, and secondly, it can let Jiang Yue know that he can't help himself, so that Jiang Yue can pay more attention to the two cases of Pei Yan and Li's father and son outside.

He led a group of guards walking and taunting, and walked around the palace wall of Liuying Palace. He waited until he passed all the places where his voice might be heard outside the wall, and then he carried Jiang Xuan, who had injured his leg, back. In the palace, I thought about other ways out.

Sitting on the low couch, Jiang Xuan timidly crossed her calves, called Pei Jun, and said like a mosquito, "Uncle, those father-in-laws just arrived at home and wanted to take me away. Grandpa Dong dared not say no...just dragged me away." This made them unhappy, so they tore me away from Grandpa Dong, and Grandpa Dong fell! My leg hurts and I can’t run anymore. Grandpa Dong screamed anxiously, but they also He just dragged me away, saying that uncle was in a hurry to see me in the palace, and got into the car with me in his arms... But uncle, why are you in such a hurry to see me? I can wait for you to come back at home."

The child was already timid, but now he was very scared, and his body was still trembling slightly.Seeing this, Pei Jun naturally couldn't tell the truth that Jiang Zhan wanted to use the doll as a hostage and son, so he could only hold Jiang Xuan by his side and tried to smile: "Uncle is anxious to see you!" You? Ah... That's why my uncle suddenly missed Xuan'er. Look, today, my uncle sneaked here to play in Liuying Palace. Seeing how beautiful it was, thinking that Xuan'er had never been here before, I wanted to take Xuan'er together. Just kidding, don't you hurry up and ask your acquainted father-in-laws to pick you up? Who knows that before you come, the guards guarding here will not allow uncle to go out. They are afraid that uncle will steal something and say they will sue him. Your uncle knew that he wanted your uncle to punish him. This made him very angry, so he scolded them just now. Don't be afraid, Xuan'er, there is an uncle here. When your uncle comes, let's talk to him Qing can go out."

Jiang Xuan was still young, so he didn't know what happened to the guards in the palace, nor did he know what relationship Pei Jun had with his uncle Jiang Zhan.Hearing Pei Jun's reasonable lies now, he really gradually lost his fear, his body stopped shaking, but he was still afraid of life, so he fell into Pei Jun's arms and grasped his belt tightly, like a kitten protected by an eagle under its wings , not daring to move.

Pei Jun sighed faintly, frowned and opened Jiang Xuan's trousers, looked at Jiang Xuan's injured leg, but saw that the gauze had loosened, perhaps because the doll had been playing around all the way here, and his heart was hesitant for a while. The pain was as painful as silk, and he quickly ordered out in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, it's time to change the medicine, you, go find an imperial doctor!"

Jiang Zhan promised to let someone take care of Jiang Xuan, and the people guarding Pei Jun were also very trustworthy, and soon invited Wang Yuanzheng, who had tested the drug for King Rui's death.

Wang Yuanzheng's medical skills are undoubtedly one of the most brilliant in the imperial hospital, but in the end, his medical ethics can't beat Chen De, even though he has received Pei Jun's favor in the past, now he entered the hall and put down the medicine box, he still squatted in the hall without saying a word. Jiang Xuan came up to change the medicine for the child, not daring to comfort and help Pei Jun at all.

So Pei Jun stared at him without saying a word until he finished changing Jiang Xuan's medicine.

At this time, Wang Yuanzheng finally raised his head, his eyes suddenly fell into Pei Jun's eyes, he couldn't help but flinch suddenly, and seeing Pei Jun raised his eyebrows, signaling to him, he quickly avoided Pei Jun's gaze, shook his head and squatted down, Pack up the box and go.

Seeing this, Pei Jun simply lifted his foot and kicked over his medicine box. All the bottles and cans fell out, and three plates of medicine powder were smashed on the ground. Wang Yuanzheng looked terrified, but still I dare not say anything.

Pei Jun squatted in front of him, and looked into his eyes coldly: "Oh, I'm sorry, Wang Yuanzheng. This hospital slipped accidentally, but you dropped a lot of good medicine? These medicines look so precious , this court has to compensate you, so the king’s court is going to the government to find our family steward to pay for it, and you can just say how much you want."

When Wang Yuanzheng heard it, he waved his hands desperately: "It's just a small medicine, what, what's the point, Mr. Pei's words are serious, serious..." As he spoke, he smacked the broken medicine bottle and ran out of the palace. I can't take it anymore.

After this time, no one came in this Liuying Hall.The guards outside knew that Pei Jun was cunning, so they didn't dare to listen to him for long, and asked for instructions one by one if he wanted anything.After going back and forth like this, Pei Jun saw that they were not easy to order, and was afraid that the kid Jiang Xuan would feel something was wrong after watching him for a long time, so he suppressed the anger and hatred in his heart for a while, and first led Jiang Xuan to walk around the Liuying Palace, and played the game. Having done enough and had no place to go, he took paper, pen and ink again, and told Jiang Xuan some folk stories, so as to distract the child a little.

At dusk, a few young eunuchs brought the royal meal, which was full of delicacies.

Pei Jun asked: "Isn't the Emperor coming?"

The young eunuchs all knew him, and they were very familiar with him in the past, so they dared to answer: "The emperor is still in the imperial study."

Pei Jun sneered: "See Mr. Zhang?"

The little eunuchs looked at each other, but they didn't dare to answer, for fear that a flashy god would miss something and give his head away.The leading eunuch bowed to Pei Jun in embarrassment, leaned into his ear and said, "Master Pei, we all remember your kindness, but our master told us not to speak, so don't recruit us! Do you still remember?" What about Xiao Lin Fu back then? That kid just scalded the emperor’s footwashing water, and the emperor let out a hum, and the master dragged him out that night and beat him to death... Let’s just watch, he’s only sixteen or seventeen... "

Pei Jun didn't remember who they were talking about at all, but he also knew that as long as Jiang Zhan's palace still relied on Hu Li to rule, then these eunuchs would never dare to listen to other people's words easily.And no matter what happened in his previous life or this life, he once again understood that among the gangsters gathered by power, there is absolutely no one who can be relied upon when disaster strikes.

He waved the eunuchs out of the hall and coaxed Jiang Xuan to eat with a bowl.While eating, Jiang Xuan asked when the emperor's uncle would come, saying that he wanted to go home and listen to Qian Haiqing's storytelling: "Brother Siqi's story is not the same every day, and every day is connected to the previous day, which is fun gone."

Pei Jun listened to him smashing the food, and coaxed him to tell Qian Haiqing's story with his words, which broke Jiang Xuan's spirit for a while, and finally he was able to endure until dark, and the child was finally sleepy .

He carried Jiang Xuan into the inner room, and lay with his nephew on the carved wooden bed that Jiang Zhan used to sleep in, hoping to coax Jiang Xuan to sleep, and then he would go outside at night to find a way out of the palace.But just as he was singing to Jiang Xuan in a low voice the Great Dragon King's Repayment and the Little Butterfly's Transformation into an Immortal, there were several pairs of footsteps outside the palace gate, and just now the little eunuch's flattering voice sounded: "...then let's call him Yu Shan right away." How about preparing food in the room? You can’t let the emperor go hungry.”

"Have they eaten?"

Jiang Zhan's voice suddenly came through the screen, doors and windows, although the distance was far away, the exhaustion in it was very clear.

"Back to the emperor, I've eaten it all!" After the little eunuch finished speaking, he pushed the door of the palace. "Master Pei led the little prince to rest."

Pei Jun only heard the creaking of the door, and saw that the bed curtains were blown by the night wind, so he hugged Jiang Xuan who had just fallen asleep and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

After a while, a pair of extremely soft footsteps approached their bed lightly, stopped not far away, and followed the rustling of brocade robes, walked a few steps aside.

A very slight sigh dissipated in the completely silent dormitory, and suddenly the footsteps sounded again, but they gradually went further away and walked out.

Just when he thought Jiang Zhan had already driven back to the palace, Jiang Zhan's voice came from outside again:

"I'm going to sleep here tonight."
