Chapter 202 The flowers are still there, but where are the people?

When Pei Ji woke up, it was just dawn. He struggled for a long time from the nightmare, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He sat up in shock, with scarlet eyes and a hoarse voice: "Where is the princess?"

?Are there any injuries during the rescue?"

He looked around impatiently, but did not find the little princess, so he grabbed Li Yi's arm and shouted: "Where is the person?"

He still clearly remembered that his little girl fell into the river, and he jumped in after him. He couldn't find his hibiscus, and finally, she gradually sank to the bottom of the water.

Li Yi looked grief-stricken. He opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. He knelt down with a "pop" and said in a crying voice: "My lord, the princess..."

He couldn't help but choked for a few times, and then he took a breath before continuing: "The princess has not been salvaged yet. Our people only found the torn clothes downstream. The water in the Han River is very fast. It has been so long.

I’m afraid people don’t know where they were rushed, and the possibility of survival is slim!”

Li Yi knocked his head tightly to the ground and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Sir, please forgive me!"

A grown man cried out in pain without any warning. Li Yi thought about every detail of these days. How could such a gentle and kind-hearted little princess have suffered such a misfortune!

Rong Qiao, along with several maids around Wei Yunzhu, had already cried and fainted several times.

Li Yi couldn't wait for the chief minister's instructions, so he raised his head cautiously, and saw him looking blankly at the daffodils by the window. They were growing just right, and the little princess would happily tell him about this peanut in her letters every day.

feeding situation.

The flowers are still there, but where are the people?

He never believed in fate.

After a long time, that lonely and monotonous voice sounded, both desperate and stubborn: "Look again, everyone will search for me and find the princess back."

For five whole days and nights, Jin Wuwei searched and salvaged in the river day and night. However, Pei Ji did not go to court, and even ignored the mountains of government affairs. He sat in front of the daffodils, neither eating nor drinking.

, sleepless and restless.

Strangely, after the little princess left, the originally lush flowers began to wither, and the green leaves fell off one by one, turned yellow, withered, and then completely rotted in the soil until the last leaf fell off.

Pei Ji looked at the bare, lifeless withered rod, his blood-red eyes finally burst out with a little bit of emotion, and with broken despair, he rubbed into the originally beautiful eyeballs, and a drop of empty tears fell.

Then, it returned to calm, it was a deathly silence, without any light anymore.

Under the darkness, in the endless winter, his spring will never come again, just like the fate of this bouquet of daffodils.

Suddenly he stood up, and his always strong body swayed like a paper man, almost falling down.

Li Yi was startled and stretched out his hand to help the person, but was rejected by the Chief Assistant. In this case, he could only frown helplessly and shake his head.

Pei Ji stood up straight, his expression hidden in the darkness, a mixture of chaos and indistinguishable emotions, and his voice was so gloomy and cold that it could be compared to three feet of ice in the twelfth lunar month.

"Bring me my sword and go to seal the mansion."

Li Yi felt uneasy in his heart. He naturally knew that the Chief Assistant was going to find that young lady Feng to raise an army to question her.

With the temperament of the Chief Assistant, he would never let go of the Feng family no matter what, but the master was too sad and ignored him. He couldn't let his emotions get to his head.

The Feng family was an upstart who had been on the rise in recent years, and it was also a lonely minister that the master had finally supported. Half of the military power in the south was placed in Feng Wenxian's hands by the master.

The Feng family is also the key to maintaining the delicate balance of the court. If there is any friction with them easily, it will be very detrimental to the situation of the chief minister!

Thinking of this, he knelt at Pei Ji's feet: "Sir, Miss Feng is Master Feng's only relative. She loves her so much that she will not hand her over easily. If there is a gap between the two parties because of this matter, I'm afraid it will be harmful to us.

There will be disadvantages..."

"You won't hand people over easily for disposal?" Pei Ji sneered, which was simply creepy. In his cold eyes, there was a strong murderous intention and an obsession that could not be resolved no matter what.

He strode forward: "In that case, let's ask for orders first and then go."

Li Yi stood up and hurriedly followed. Asking for an order? It's just nonsense. The chief minister went to ransack the house and set fire to it. When did he go to ask for an order seriously?

Unless, you really want to do it thoroughly...

Li Yi didn't dare to think about what happened next.

The weather was extremely gloomy, just like the day when the little princess fell into the river, and a heavy rain was brewing.

Pei Ji first went to the garrison camp on the outskirts of the city. No one dared to say a word along the way. The deputy general who led him in was frightened when he saw such a terrifying chief minister.

Pei Ji stepped into the inner hall and did not sit down. He just looked at the Yue King in the high position and said calmly: "Brother, I have decided."

The King of Yue's eyes fell on the man's bloodshot eyes. He sighed subconsciously and said in a solemn voice: "Have you thought about it? Feng Wenxian has great prestige in the southern military camp and controls most of the troops. It was you who worked hard to support him.

It is enough to compete with the military strength of the North. If it is really overthrown, I am afraid..."

He frowned, paused, and continued: "Feng Wenxian is extremely ambitious, and it will be a matter of time to deal with him sooner or later. However, we have been laying out the plan for so long just to be sure. If we attack rashly, the variables are too great.

"

Pei Ji knew what the King of Yue said better than anyone else, but he didn't have the slightest hesitation or fear in his heart.

The smile on the corner of the man's mouth was filled with broken cruelty, inexplicably similar to the dying struggle of a beast before being killed, arrogant and desperate: "I can support him, and I can also support others, sworn brother, no matter what, I will not let him go."

Pass the Feng family."

He won't wait even a minute.

"Since you want to take revenge, why rush now? Wouldn't it be safer to wait until everything is ready before taking action?" The King of Yue still had some concerns: "The riot in the southern military camp has just been calmed down, and the soldiers are still undecided and are eager to deal with the Feng family.

, I’m afraid it will make people feel chilling. In the current situation, if you and I are even half a step wrong, we will be in a doomed situation."

"Brother, I just want to ask you, do you believe me?" The look on Pei Ji's cheeks was extremely stubborn, and the bloodshot eyes in his eyes were so heavy that they seemed to bleed: "Believe me, I have a more suitable candidate to replace Feng Wen.

The position of the display is better than that of Fengwen Display."

Is this difficult? Extremely difficult.

The situation in the south was on the verge of breaking out. He went there in person a few days ago and managed to suppress all the storms. At this time, he moved to seal the document and had no intention of provoking another.

But no matter how difficult it was, how could it be as important as his little princess? Even if he died, he would still give justice to the little princess.
