Chapter 940 939 [Sky-breaking]

Ever since Shen Danmo made a special trip to Qinyuan to say goodbye, Pei Yue had expected that the breakup scene would happen today.

His relationship with Shen Moyun originated from Pei Zhen, the Duke of the First Kingdom. This matter could not be hidden from the eyes of those who were interested, especially Emperor Kaiping. However, time has changed and the world has changed. After all, old friends are just old friends, and what should be let go has long been let go. In Kaiping I'm afraid no one can say clearly how many old feelings Mo Shenyun, who has been a minister of the imperial court for seventeen years, still cherishes.

Don't you see, whether it was Pei Rong who was seized of the title and imprisoned, or Pei Yun was dismissed from office, Shen Shen Yun did not stand up to support the descendants of his benefactor, especially the latter who had half a friendship with him. Of course, most people in the government and the public could understand. Silent Cloud's difficulty is that he is in charge of Taishitai Pavilion, and his status is too special. Generally speaking, he cannot interfere in the government affairs and the appointment and removal of officials.

It's not that he didn't do anything. When Pei Cheng was in the Western Region, he was well taken care of by Taige Wuwu, and he could often get the most timely information. With this, he accumulated a lot of military merit, and thus he was successfully promoted to the first-class Dingyuan Bo. Promoted to Commander of the Kyoto Garrison Division Xicheng.

Another example is the night when the fourth prince Liu Zan conspired to rebel. Dingguo Mansion was attacked by gangsters. Pei Yun, a weak scholar, could not stop him. It was Shen Moyun who came in person to prevent this catastrophe.

Generally speaking, Silent Cloud is quite affectionate and kind to Dingguo Mansion, but he can't do much because of the restrictions of his status. There are always countless shackles in life, and he can only do this to Pei Zhen's legitimate children and grandchildren, not to mention Pei Yue, the concubine who had already made a clean break with Dingguo Mansion.

Before meeting Pei Zhen, Pei Yue had always been very wary of Silent Cloud.

The conversation with Silent Cloud on top of the ancient Pingjun town in the western border, what he saw on the island in the middle of the lake, and then the secret conversation with Mr. The head of the Taiwan Pavilion was on guard. But after he returned to Beijing, Shen Danmo suddenly conveyed her father's words to draw a clear line, which made the situation develop in an unpredictable direction.

What exactly does Silent Cloud want to do? Why does he do this?

This matter must have nothing to do with Pei Zhen, so the change can only be attributed to the unknown rift between him and the emperor.

Pei Yue didn't even dare to think deeply about these issues.

But one thing he was sure of was that Silent Cloud still had good intentions towards him, so he chose to separate in advance, so that no matter what happened in the future, Emperor Kaiping would not be angry with him. Fortunately, because of Pei Yue's previous wariness against Silent Cloud, the two of them Their relationship has always seemed alienated on the surface, and today Silent Cloud's confrontational attitude seems very natural.

But Pei Yue didn't want anything to happen to Silent Cloud. He couldn't tell whether it was because of the few times of help that Silent Cloud had given him just right in the past, or because of Shen Danmo's actions in clarifying his feelings on Qishui. In this serious and tense occasion, He didn't have time to carefully study the ripples in his heart, so he could only rely on instinct to give Silent Cloud a step without leaving any trace.

Those were the last words he asked Lin He.

"Are all the Taige crows dead?"

The implication is that Lin He's actions have nothing to do with Shen Moyun, everything is his own decision. Even if Shen Moyun really wants to keep his old friend's son, he must get out at this moment.

When the two people's eyes met, Silent Cloud had already understood what this young man was thinking.

He couldn't help but secretly feel very pleased, and he understood more and more why Xi Sidao valued Pei Yue so much, and even understood Emperor Kaiping's previous entanglements and embarrassments. Although the other party was young and had a high position, he still maintained his sincerity in comparing his feelings with his own.

But he couldn't do that now, because today he had to completely reassure His Majesty, and the previous tit-for-tat confrontation with Pei Yue was not enough.

Although Pei Yue is far more mature and intelligent than his peers, his understanding of His Majesty the Emperor behind the imperial case is still far behind.

If you want to deceive this extremely smart king, how can you do it without paying some price?

And...he hopes to save Lin He's life after all, otherwise he will feel uneasy in this life and feel ashamed of the swordsman Lin Donghai who used his life to fulfill his promise.

Silent Cloud sighed softly in his heart, with some determination in his eyes, and then turned to look at Lin He who was kneeling on the ground, frowning slightly and said: "Why are you so confused? Now that you have discovered something suspicious, if you are worried about the power in your hands If it's not enough, you can tell me frankly and ask Taige to send people to help. You can't act on your own just because you want to do something. Not only will it break the rules set by Emperor Gaozu for Taige, but it will also make His Majesty very disappointed in Taige."

Although these words were meant as a rebuke, anyone with a discerning eye could hear Silent Cloud's protective intentions.

Pei Yue's face became more and more grim, but he couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart. Silent Yun Yue's resolute attitude to defend Lin He meant that he wanted everyone to believe one thing, that he was completely on the opposite side of himself.

Why is this so...

Pei Yue felt that his heart was filled with panic, and there was no joy in successfully countering these people at this moment.

Wang Pingzhang sensed the danger coming after Lin He and three others entered the Nuan Pavilion, so he originally planned to remove Wang Jiuxuan from this mess as soon as possible, but Silent Cloud spoke before him, and his words interrupted him Thoughts.

He stared deeply at the golden brick ground in front of him. Regarding the hostility between Silent Cloud and Pei Yue, he was naturally happy to see it happen. Especially today's resolute attitude of Silent Cloud, he saw a bit of this person's past. style, I can’t help but look forward to future cooperation.

The atmosphere in Nuan Pavilion became more and more solemn, and Emperor Kaiping said solemnly: "I am indeed very disappointed."

Silent Cloud bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am Zuo Lingchen of Taishitai Pavilion, and Lin He is my subordinate official. I must be responsible for this matter. Although his original intention is to serve your Majesty and the imperial court, his methods are too excessive. He is reckless and ignorant and deserves to be punished. Please punish me. As for Lin He himself, I beg your Majesty to spare him the death penalty."

After saying this, he flicked the hem of his clothes and knelt down to salute.

Everyone was moved.

Emperor Kaiping's brows wrinkled slightly. Silent Cloud still insisted that Lin He's true intentions were fine, which would probably offend Pei Yue completely. He turned his head and looked over, and Pei Yue's face was indeed extremely gloomy. The guy has never shown such a posture in front of the emperor.

He knew that now was a good opportunity to further gain the allegiance of Silent Cloud. Lin He was the son of the left-handed swordsman Lin Donghai. There was no big problem in sparing his life, but if he didn't figure this out clearly today, how could Pei Yue be willing to do so? Let go?

Thinking of this, he first let Shen Yun level up, then looked at Lin He with a sinking face and said: "No matter what your reasons are for investigating Pei Yue, you should not be associated with the clan members. I once heard from Shen The Qing family has mentioned you and knows that you have been in Taige for a long time. You should know the most important rules for people in Taige. The first one is not to collude with outsiders."

Lin He suddenly raised his head and said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, I really have no choice but to face difficulties, so I dare not trust anyone except the royal family members who are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping asked one word at a time: "What's the reason?"

Lin He took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say: "After Wei Chen discovered the secret of Zhongshan Hou, he retrieved the previous files and discovered that the leader of the banditry in Hengduan Mountain a few years ago was actually the Chen family seventeen years ago.

Descendants, this person's name is Chen Xizhi. Wei Chen suspected that the banditry in Hengduan Mountain, the attack on the imperial envoy in Lingzhou, etc. were all caused by the conspiracy between Pei Yue and Chen Xizhi. What he wanted to do was to use the killing of Chen Xizhi to defraud His Majesty's trust."

He bravely glanced at Emperor Kaiping, without caring about the freezing atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion, and said hastily: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Chen Xizhi is not dead at all. He has been hidden by Pei Yue. Maybe he is in his possession."

In the other courtyard, Chen Xizhi is a rebel who is responsible for countless lives, and Pei Yue is a traitor with evil intentions. I beg your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and not let these traitors go!"

He shouted almost pleadingly: "Your Majesty, I have concluded that Pei Yue is not of Dingguo blood. He may also be a descendant of the Chen family back then!"

"shut up!"

A sharp sound exploded from the slanting stab, and then Gu Liang strode over and kicked Lin He to the ground.
