Pei Rong's performance is not over yet.

In front of Emperor Kaiping and the important ministers of the two palaces, he talked about Pei Yue's "heinous" behavior like Xianglin's wife. In his description, Pei Yue seemed to be a deep-minded devil who was restless in Dingguo Mansion.

He often instigated brothers to fight. After leaving the house, he got in touch with the bandits and used a bitter trick to force Pei Rong to resign. However, the title finally fell to Pei Cheng. After his plan to seize the title failed, Pei Yue used the annihilation of Shan Ming.

The thief seizes the credit and wants to use it as a stepping stone to gain a foothold in the court and continue to make trouble in the future.

Not only did Pei Yue find it ridiculous, but even the nobles who originally supported Pei Rong looked hesitant.

The boy he was talking about was really a fourteen-year-old boy. Wasn't he a monster who had been practicing cultivation since his mother's womb?

What's more, Pei Yue is just a white-bodied bastard, so why would the bandits cooperate with him?

Pei Rong didn't realize it, and he became more and more excited as he talked. He was spitting all over the hall, as if he had found the feeling of commanding an army in the capital camp again, and everyone had to listen to his long speech.

Faced with such a ridiculous situation, Emperor Kaiping did not stop it, and other important ministers who were qualified to scold him did not move.

Pei Yue sighed in his heart. At this moment, he was very sure that Pei Rong was seeking death because of Pei Yun's instigation.

But no matter how incompetent Pei Rong is, he is the biological father of the second child. Why would he do this?

The atmosphere in Chengtian Hall became extremely strange. Even Pei Rong himself noticed something was wrong and his voice gradually weakened.

Emperor Kaiping asked calmly: "Why don't you continue talking?"

Pei Rong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although the etiquette and law insist on hiding each other's relatives, what this concubine has done is unforgivable. I beg your Majesty to put him in prison and give him a proper punishment. But Wei Chen is his biological father after all.

, I am willing to donate half of my family property, and I only ask that Your Majesty leave his whole body."

Emperor Kaiping looked at Pei Yue and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Pei Yue coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have always believed that family scandals should not be made public, but when things have reached this point, I have to tell the truth. Today's events are all a farce, because this person has gone crazy after losing his title.

."

Lu Min scolded in a cold voice: "Pei Yue, these words are not what the Son of Man did!"

Gu Liang immediately retorted: "Lu Junji, do you believe Pei Rong's nonsense? I was present when he resigned, and Silent Cloud was also present. Pei Rong personally admitted that he had colluded with the bandits, so he resigned to apologize.

Even if you don’t believe me, would Mr. Shen still lie?"

Pei Rong said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense. When did I admit that I had colluded with the bandits? You teamed up to force me that day, but I just had no choice but to agree!"

Several nobles who were familiar with Pei Rong came out to help out. What made Pei Yue a little surprised was that Li Bingzhong didn't say a word from beginning to end. It seemed that Silent Cloud's methods made him restrained a lot.

Emperor Kaiping did not show any bias, but the palace immediately fell silent after he spoke: "You said Pei Rong is crazy, do you have any evidence?"

Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "Yes."

Emperor Kaiping's narrow eyes showed a trace of curiosity: "Say."

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Yue took out a letter from his sleeve and said slowly: "I have a letter here, written by Mrs. Dingguo, my grandmother."

Pei Rong instantly fell into panic.

…

A few days ago, in Ding'an Hall of Dingguo Mansion.

"Madam."

Hearing this title that should never come from the mouth of his grandchildren, Pei Taijun did not show any anger. His usually gentle and kind old eyes stared at Pei Yue's face with a cold light.

After a moment, she asked in a cold voice: "Do you know everything?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

Pei Taijun looked at the tall young man, but what appeared in front of her eyes was the figure of her late husband Pei Zhen. She could never forget that after the new king came to the throne, her husband brought back an infant baby from outside and refused to tell her about the child.

She only asked her to protect him and grow up safely. Later, Pei Zhen led his army to the west to conquer the border, and the two never met again. In the years to come, whenever she saw Pei Yue, she would think of her late husband's face.

Even though he didn't want to disobey Pei Zhen's instructions, he didn't want to see Pei Yue often.

Perhaps because of her old age, it took her some time to calm down and sighed: "Now that you know everything, why did you come to me today?"

Pei Yue said straight to the point: "I hope Mrs. Tai can write a personal letter."

Pei Taijun asked: "What letter?"

Pei Yue said: "The letter to me needs to point out that Pei Rong and Li Shi have abused me, and that Pei Rong wanted to murder me with the help of bandits, but I have never done anything unfilial."

Pei Taijun looked at him with a dull expression.

Pei Yue looked at her calmly.

Pei Taijun asked indifferently: "Do you think I can write?"

No matter how bad Pei Rong is, he is still her biological son, and she is the wife of Dingguo, Pei Zhen's widow. With this last identity, even the emperor will not treat her harshly. Not to mention that Pei Yue is still just

With a white body, even if he has a firm foothold in the army, he is still nothing in front of Pei Taijun.

Pei Yue replied calmly: "Madam, I just want to protect myself."

Pei Taijun shook his head and said, "Rong'er promised me that he would never go against you again."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Madam, please listen to me. This letter will only be taken out when absolutely necessary, and it is only for Pei Rong alone. Without this letter, I would not dare to do it when I am in danger."

Promise me what decision I will make."

Pei Taijun stared at him and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Pei Yue said slowly: "If Your Majesty knew that the Pei family was taking in the descendants of the Chen family, what would he think? By then, would so many people in the Pei family be able to survive?"

Taijun Pei suddenly changed his color.

Pei Yue said without changing his expression: "If the emperor knew that I was related to the Chen family, I would definitely not survive, but that was the last choice, which meant that I was facing death. At that time, what would I care about?

Mrs. Tai must know how the Pei family has treated me over the years. If she can bring the entire Pei family to bury me with her, it seems to be a good deal after careful calculation."

Pei Taijun raised his finger and pointed at him, tremblingly saying: "Are you Chen Qingchen's son?"

Doesn't this mean that Pei Yue is the son of the late emperor Renzong?

Being able to succeed to the throne today is an unsolved case, because the cause of Renzong's death was too bizarre. He suddenly contracted a serious illness at the age of twenty-eight and eventually died. There is nothing strange in this. Who can believe it? What frightens Taijun Pei even more is that Pei Taijun

How would the emperor view his family's adoption of the late emperor's orphan?

Even if no one in the world believed that the Pei family had any treasonous intentions, could she guarantee that the emperor would think so?

Don't forget that thirty-three years ago, the Duke of Chu's palace was a river of blood, and Xian Chunqiu was forced to cross the river with nine hundred of his sons to defect to the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Pei Yue did not directly respond to Pei Taijun's question, but said softly: "Madam, if Pei Rong and Li did not act like monsters, this letter would never be exposed to the world. But if they want to harm me openly, then this letter will never be exposed to the world."

The letter can at least protect me. Those who harm others will eventually harm themselves. Compared with the entire Pei family, is Pei Rong's life that important?"

"What's more, with the Madam in charge, I believe we can control those two idiots."

Pei Yue said earnestly.

Although he is now leaving the house and living separately, his surname is Pei after all, and he is the child that Pei Zhen brought back. No one can deny this.

If the emperor knew that Pei Zhen was raising the late emperor's orphan in his mansion, then the Pei family would inevitably usher in a bloody purge.

This is why Pei Yue dared to reveal his identity in front of Pei Taijun.

Even if he threatens the other party with death together, Pei Taijun will continue to hide this secret unless she wants the entire Pei family to be destroyed.

Pei Yue had originally prepared some excuses, asking Gu Liang about the secrets of the Chen family to prove his identity. However, because Pei Taijun was too familiar with conspiracies, he only believed it after linking the stories from that year.

his words.

If not, why would Pei Zhen hide the origin of the baby from her?

After a long time, Taijun Pei nodded slowly and with great difficulty, with hatred in his eyes.
