It was night, Wei Yunzhu walked with heavy steps on Yong'an Lane, and she finally came.

Li Yi seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time: "Princess Princess, the Chief Assistant will ask me to welcome you in."

Wei Yunzhu held back her tears and crossed the threshold. At this moment, Princess Yun'an, who had been loved by thousands of people, was about to become a person without dignity...

After walking for a long time, Li Yi suddenly retreated quietly.

Wei Yunzhu raised his eyes and saw Pei Ji on the corridor. The smile in his eyes was thick and he was slowly walking towards her.

"The princess is still reluctant to abandon her subordinates."

As he spoke, the affection in his eyes seemed to overflow, causing Wei Yunzhu to have the thought that he was gentler than the moon.

The next moment, she felt an extra strength in her waist, and before she could even scream, she was picked up by the man.

She was a little panicked and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck: "Pei Ji! You..."

Pei Ji just coaxed: "Don't move, I have something for the princess."

Wei Yunzhu didn't know his intention, so she could only let the man carry her into the house until she was gently put down.

"Princess, do you like it?" Pei Ji pointed to the table full of food in front of her, her voice sounded like an invitation, and she personally placed a piece of chestnut cake in front of her.

"The princess must be very hungry these days. Please try it quickly."

Wei Yunzhu hadn't eaten anything all day and night, so she was naturally hungry at the moment. But she also liked chestnut cake, so she picked it up and tasted it elegantly.

But the next moment, her face suddenly turned pale. She was too familiar with this smell.

In the past, when she was in the palace, her sister doted on her and specially promoted Song Zhangshan to be responsible for her daily meals. But when she tasted the familiar taste today, she felt more and more that the past situation no longer existed.

This is not her home, she wants to go home.

Thinking of this, she put down the cake coldly, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Pei Ji asked with concern: "Don't the princess like to eat these the most? Why don't you try more?"

Wei Yunzhu's eyes were sore and he refused to raise his head: "I'm not hungry yet."

Pei Ji noticed something strange about her, and put his hand against her chin, trying to lift it up, but the girl turned her head to avoid it.

The man didn't give her a chance, and forcefully pinched her porcelain-white chin, forcing her to look at him.

In those eyes, there was grievance, disgust, everything but no love.

Pei Ji didn't understand that he tried so hard to please her, but in the end, she still looked like this towards him.

"It seems that the princess doesn't like it, so the person who made this pastry doesn't have to live in the world."

Wei Yunzhu subconsciously grabbed his sleeves, and the disgust in her eyes became even stronger: "Pei Ji, why do you want to hurt innocent people when you have such a big reason to come at me?"

"Coming for you..." The man repeated this sentence, seeming to be reminiscing.

The next moment, she suddenly felt an extra force on her waist, and her whole body was pulled into a warm embrace.

She was so frightened that her body trembled slightly and her mouth opened slightly but she could not speak.

Pei Ji glanced darkly across her fair neck and said in a deep voice: "I called the princess here for what purpose. The princess should understand, right?"

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of Wei Yunzhu's eyes, and her nails dug deeply into her palms. She really couldn't do it!

"Princess, you were not familiar with the world before and did not understand these customs. I can understand, but now I tell you, you must have a begging attitude when asking for help, otherwise you will suffer a loss."

He held her waist tightly, and rubbed his fingers deliberately a few times, as if to remind her.

"Since you are asking for help, show some sincerity."

As he spoke, Pei Ji had already handed the blue and white porcelain cup filled with wine to the girl's mouth. His voice was inexplicably hoarse: "Drink it."

In the dim light, Wei Yunzhu stared at the porcelain cup, his body trembling a little, as if it was poison.

Her voice was small and pitiful, with a cry in it: "Pei Ji, I don't want to drink."

Two tears fell on Pei Ji's hands. It was so cold! Such a little princess was so pitiful!

Pei Ji suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he was a humble slave, that was their second meeting.

In front of the Great Ci'en Temple, she got down from the sedan chair. She was like pure jade, which even a dirty beggar like him would be afraid of getting his hands on even if he took one look at her.

Later, the girl drove away the group of guards who kicked and insulted him. He was covered in blood, but he still handed over the handkerchief she had left behind with trembling hands, but the girl hesitated when she looked at the bloodstained handkerchief.

.

Before he could speak, a nun ran up to him and knocked the veil off his hand: "Where did this unlucky thing come from? It really stained the eyes of our princess. If someone comes, throw him out quickly."

!”

That veil was trampled under the feet of those people, exactly the same fate as him.

Most likely, the little princess would only feel dirty about the things he gave her.

Pei Ji suddenly said coldly: "I'm afraid the princess has no right now to refuse the things given by the minister."

"drink!"

The man's sudden anger frightened Wei Yunzhu. He took the glass of wine tremblingly and drank the glass of wine in great pain.

Then, the man approached forcefully, and his warm breath invaded her neck. He wanted her to stay by his side forever!

Wei Yunzhu stiffened and subconsciously pushed: "No, I don't want it!"

Feeling her resistance, Pei Ji's eyes darkened and his voice was dangerous: "What don't you want?"

Wei Yunzhu bit her lower lip with her teeth and shook her head helplessly. The man in front of her was more terrifying than ever before.

"Why does the princess bother to force the minister to tell the truth?"

"The sky has changed. Whether you are the princess, the queen or the prince, whether you will continue to be held in high esteem or become a prisoner is just a matter of my words. Does the princess understand?"

Yes, what he said is absolutely correct. He will no longer be Princess Yun'an, but will only be the humble orphan Wei Yunzhu.

"Princess, you came here on your own initiative today. If you don't want to, just leave." There was no emotion or anger in Pei Ji's voice.

Wei Yunzhu thought of her sister and said anxiously: "I am willing..."

"Sir Shofu, I really do." The girl's pleading cry came.

Pei Ji looked at her red lips trembling slightly as she sobbed, then suddenly picked her up and threw her on the bed.

"The princess has always been very smart. Some things should be learned instantly."

"How did Wei Chen please you that night..."

Wei Yunzhu understood very well that the current situation of Sister A and Yan'er was extremely dangerous. She had to please Pei Ji in order to seek his protection for Sister A and her son.

However, being controlled by him for the moment, Wei Yunzhu forced her expression to look as pleasant as possible, her eyes filled with flattery for the first time, and she put her arms around his neck and boldly came closer.

A green kiss fell on Pei Ji's cheek, and the temptation was haphazard, but Wei Yunzhu didn't know that it was this greenness that could make a man with the best concentration become confused.

Pei Ji felt that his fire was aroused, and there was a gasp in his voice: "Zhuzhu, stay with me, I will fulfill all your wishes..."

Wei Yunzhu's head was heavy and her body was weak, so she could only let him take what he wanted.

…

At Yinshi on the second day, in the Tai Chi Hall.

The officials bowed their heads and stood before His Highness. The young prince looked a little frightened and carefully glanced at his mother in the beaded chain behind him.

Now that the throne is vacant, the King of Yue, hampered by the power of the aristocratic family, chose to stay put. He spoke vaguely and refused to go to court.

At present, the prince oversees the country on his behalf, but the prince is only five years old, so the queen can only listen to the government behind the curtain.

Wei Yunqing first said to Taifu Gu: "Master Taifu, I wonder how Gu Shilang is doing now?"

Yesterday's assassination of Gu Yanyi caused an uproar. Gu Yanyi was the third son of Taifu Gu and was the most respected.

The Gu family has been standing for a hundred years and is the head of the Zhou family. The wealthy family has always looked down upon the poor family headed by Pei Ji. The two factions have always been incompatible.

This time when something happened to Gu Yanyi, the conflict was naturally aroused to a high point.

Taifu Gu took a step forward with a solemn expression: "Back to Your Highness, the Queen, my son was seriously injured and is still in a coma!"

When Pei Ji heard this, he smiled sarcastically, and the dignified Taifu Gu also began to feel miserable. He said casually: "I wonder if Taifu Gu can catch that abominable murderer?"

As soon as these words came out, the family members began to whisper, this Pei Ji is too shameless, and the murderer is not him!

Taifu Gu glanced at Pei Ji displeasedly. For this former disciple, he could only endure: "Not yet!"

At this time, Zhongshu ordered Huang Lu to stand up and said: "Queen, I have a memorial for you."

This man is Mrs. Gu's younger brother, who is also Gu Yanyi's uncle.

After getting the Queen's acquiescence, Huang Lu said: "The Queen, in fact, the murderer Wei Chen has been found out."

Wei Yunqing said: "Really? Who is that audacious thief?"

Huang Lu's voice became very angry: "The thief is Pei Ji!"

"This person has always been unscrupulous and organized for personal gain. This time he shot and killed a court official in the street. His crime cannot be punished. I ask the Queen to issue an order to deal with it and make the decision for my Yi'er!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were in a panic. Everyone knew that the murderer was the chief minister, but who dared to say it? Huang Lu was really brave. As for whether he had a plan or not, that was another question.

On Party Pei's side, the Minister of Civil Affairs couldn't bear it: "Master Huang, what do you mean by this? Do you have any evidence for what you say?"
