Chapter 22

In just one reception, the situation in the court took an earth-shaking turn.

Pei Anan has not recovered from the poisoning. It is said that although her life is safe, she cannot even get up from the bed.

Therefore, Xie Chenghe was named regent and took charge of court affairs.

But since ancient times, regents have been relatives of the emperor, and the reason for their establishment is simply that the emperor was young. In addition, several important ministers were guarding outside the palace at that time. They heard the beatings inside and saw Ding Yueluo's hateful eyes.

As a result, the civil and military officials were in an uproar, and the eyes they looked at Xie Chenghe changed again and again.

However, the first thing Xie Chenghe did when he took office was to release Lu Yuan from Tingwei Prison and place him under separate supervision.

It was said that he was put under separate supervision, but in fact it was no different from being released. However, Lu Yuan was suspected of poisoning the emperor and killing the nine tribes, and he actually let him off lightly.

The mood in the court suddenly changed. Everyone said that Xie Chenghe finally found a chance to take revenge. They even said that Lu Yuan's poisoning was Xie Chenghe's intention.

Ling Yun appreciated the current situation very much. Not only did he support Xie Chenghe many times in court, but he also invited Xie Chenghe to meet him several times in private. His intention to win over was obvious.

But no one knew that Pei Annan, who was supposed to be recuperating from poisoning, was looking at the memorial like a normal person with a smile on his lips.

The points mall really has everything, but she just spent 300 points to exchange for a fake poison, which can make her suffer from poisoning symptoms within half an hour.

Lu Yuan wants her to stop coming to power? It's impossible. She doesn't care about the word games between Lu Yuan and Ling Yun. Who doesn't know that the current emperor will kill whenever he says, without any ambiguity?

She wanted to put Lu Yuan and Ling Yun up high and make their conspiracy known to the world.

Seeing her smiling, Ding Yueluo was furious and said sarcastically: "Seeing them supporting Xie Chenghe, are you happy? Why don't you give up your seat to him?"

Pei Annan glanced at her and closed the memorial in his hand.

Without exception, all of these were written to show loyalty to Xie Chenghe. But they didn't know that Xie Chenghe had sent these to the emperor's palace without even looking at them.

"You're still talking about him." Pei Annan's smile deepened, "Look at how scared you are."

Ding Yueluo's face turned green and red: "Who knew you were going to do this?! Did you know that if I reacted slower, I would kill Lu Yuan directly in front of the court?!"

The situation was so critical at that time, Pei Anan didn't reveal anything beforehand, but Ding Yueluo was confused when she was concerned, and even her hidden sword was exposed.

If Pei Anan hadn't pinched her as a signal when he fell into her arms, the consequences would have been disastrous.

I just don’t know which one of Pei Annan and Xie Chenghe’s eyes meet so that Xie Chenghe can play this scene flawlessly.

"Lu Yuan can't die." Pei Annan said leisurely, "He has not yet expired."

Ding Yueluo understood. Although she complained a little, she had to admire Pei Anan's plan.

Xie Chenghe expressed his position by protecting Lu Yuan, so Ling Yun and others naturally thought they had him under control.

Coupled with the fact that Pei Annan is now "poisoned", Ling Yun will definitely feel that the throne is very certain.

In this case, they will only speed up the process of the plan, eager to overthrow the dynasty and ascend to that position immediately.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, will die when he deserves it, leaving Ling Yun with fewer and fewer chips.

At that time, Ling Yun will only keep making promises and giving in order to maintain the current situation and keep Xie Chenghe by his side.

Pei Annan is working secretly and Xie Chenghe is working openly. They want Ling Yun to empty his chips and trap him in the capital, leaving him isolated and helpless.

Then he stopped thinking about it.

While the two were talking, they saw Xie Chenghe walking in. Ding Yueluo glared at him, turned around and left. Pei Anan smiled from behind and told her to come back later.

Xie Chenghe touched his nose and asked, "What happened to Ding Shang Palace?"

"Who knows." Pei Annan gently opened it and pretended to look at the memorial he had just put down, but actually saw nothing.

Ever since Pei Annan knew what Xie Chenghe meant, something felt wrong in her heart. She wasn't as comfortable getting along with him as before, and she didn't dare to meet his eyes.

Strangely enough, she actually missed the old Xie Chenghe, at least the overwhelming hatred and murderous look in his eyes was familiar to her.

Xie Chenghe secretly came over, squatted at Pei Annan's feet, held the armrests with both hands, stared at her hands, and finally did not dare to touch them.

"What are you doing?" Pei Annan was startled. The feeling of her heart beating so fast that her throat felt so tight came again. She didn't dare to move and froze in place.

"Can you tell me in advance next time?" Xie Chenghe looked up at her with a sincere expression. He squatted too low, so he simply knelt down on one leg and kept his posture very low, "I was really scared."

Seeing that her expression did not change, she added: "Ding Shanggong must have been frightened too!"

The comment section has been flooded with "ahhhhh"s:

[Help! Mr. Xie is actually the one with the puppy Gou?! I love it! 】

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu It was obviously that I was scared to death, yet I still knelt down to beg Huaihuai, and I was afraid that Huaihuai would be disgusted, so I pulled Ding Yueluo on, Mr. Xie is such a gentle man. 】

[Let’s do this, I’ll take Xie Chenghe away, and you can do whatever you want with the rest.]

Pei Annan was so upset that he didn't even look at the soaring points. He only turned his head and didn't even give Xie Chenghe a star out of the corner of his eye:

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

The light in Xie Chenghe's eyes dimmed a little, and his voice was low, a little aggrieved and depressed: "Yes..."

The voice was so dull and lonely, but everyone in the comment area was laughing, saying that Pei Anan was like a heartless man, slapping his butt and leaving without mercy. Poor Xie Xiaoguo Gou could only cry in despair and did not dare to say more.

But when Pei Annan saw this comment, he trembled in his heart, and after a while he held back another sentence: "Ahem, but this time the incident did happen suddenly. We can take a long-term approach next time."

Xie Chenghe's eyes lit up again, and the corners of his lips curled up again and again, but he couldn't suppress them no matter what. He felt that he was frivolous and blushed in embarrassment, but he covered his mouth and his eyes were crooked again.

"It's almost over." Seeing that Pei Annan was a little impatient, Xie Chenghe quickly changed the subject and said as if he wanted to take credit, "Yue Jinyan's two sons were sentenced to exile today, and Yue Zhirou disappeared a few days ago."

Pei Annan was stunned and turned around: "Did you do this?"

Of course she knew about this, and she had also suspected whether enemies of the Yue family had done something about it, but no matter how she checked, it was very clean, and she couldn't find any clues, so she thought it was just a coincidence.

"Yes!" Xie Chenghe nodded, his voice rising, his eyes shining with anticipation, "I checked, Ling Yun has tried to win over the Yue family before, but failed. It is probably because Yue Jinyan no longer wants to be a courtier."
