Outside the Pei Mansion, after everyone dispersed, Yan Mingzhu Yingying thanked Qi Jue: "Thank you for your help today, Your Highness."
"audacious in the extreme."
After Qi Jue left a four-word comment, he turned around and got on the carriage.
Yan Mingzhu stood there and blinked. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she seemed to hear a little bit of sullenness in Qi Jue's tone?
Feiyu hurriedly caught up, "Your Highness, doesn't Miss Yan have to drain the remaining poison from your body? Why don't you go back to the palace with Miss Yan?"
There was no movement in the carriage, and Feiyu muttered to himself again: "Miss Yan is so pitiful. She was cruelly abused by the Pei family. She came to ask for her dowry and almost lost her life. If His Highness hadn't appeared in time, I would have had no choice but to do it tomorrow."
Collect her body..."
Before he finished speaking, the car curtain was opened a corner, Qi Jue's calm eyes fell on Yan Mingzhu, and his tone was very low: "Come up."
Yan Mingzhu was stunned for a moment. She was ready to walk to Prince Dingbei's Mansion. After all, His Highness Prince Dingbei was so innocent that he might not be willing to share a carriage with her.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed his mind, but Yan Mingzhu didn't react for a while.
Feiyu leaned over and said, "Miss Yan, get on the carriage quickly!"
Then he said something quickly in Yan Mingzhu's ear: "My Highness has always been a sharp-tongued person, but His Highness treats you very differently to the girl. As long as the girl plays coquettishly with His Highness, Your Highness will be soft-hearted!"
Yan Mingzhu: "..."
Acting coquettishly with Qi Jue? He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would accuse her of being arrogant and rude. She didn't want to rush into it and be disliked by others.
Moreover, which eye of Feiyu could tell that Qi Jue treated her very differently?
The space inside the carriage is very large, with tables, desks, tables, small boxes, etc., it is just a miniature bedroom.
Qi Jue was half leaning on the pillow. The animal horn incense burner on the table was burning with green smoke. Yan Mingzhu could smell it as soon as he smelled it. It was sandalwood, which was very similar to the smell on Qi Jue's body.
In her slender, white right hand, she held a scroll. Yan Mingzhu glanced at it, "On the March".
Good guy, it turned out to be a military book written by her before. She thought that since she died seventeen years ago, except for the Ming family, no one in the world would still remember Mingzhu, the first female general in the history of Jokhang.
.
Just as Yan Mingzhu was lost in thought about the past, Qi Jue's cold voice sounded: "I went to the Pei family alone to ask for dowry. Do you think the Pei family are kind-hearted Bodhisattvas, or do you think you have great martial arts skills and can defeat an enemy?"
Hundred?"
To be honest, if she really takes action, even if all the servants of the Pei family are dispatched together, they will not be her opponent.
Yan Mingzhu smiled and explained: "Of course my daughter would not be stupid enough to hit an egg against a stone, so she sang a drama at the door of Pei's house about the Pei family bullying men and dominating women.
I wonder if Your Highness has noticed the crowd of onlookers? There is the storyteller I bought with money. Tomorrow, Pei Zhuoran will be castrated. The Pei family abused their ex-daughter-in-law, seized the ex-daughter-in-law's dowry and refused to return it, and even relied on their power.
The scandal of trying to kill my ex-daughter-in-law will spread throughout the imperial capital in various versions."
The Pei family prides itself on being a high-ranking family. As long as these scandals are spread, the reputation of the Pei family that has been in business for several years will be completely tarnished.
Qi Jue's eyes moved from the scroll to Yan Mingzhu, "So, you were the one who hired the official of Jingzhao Mansion?"
Yan Mingzhu nodded, "I have noticed that the official officers of Jingzhao Mansion will inspect Pei Mansion at this time every day. As long as they incite the onlookers and let the officers arrest Aunt Wang and others to Jingzhao Mansion, the matter will be resolved.
It will cause a big fuss.
With the intervention of Jingzhao Palace, I am also the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Pingchang Palace after all. It is impossible for the Pei family to kill me quietly. In order to calm the matter, the Pei family can only admit defeat and return the dowry.
To me."
Qi Jue looked at Yan Mingzhu with a little more scrutiny and interest, "But you didn't expect that Pei Youxiang would return home early. With his presence, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion would not dare to arrest Aunt Wang. If I
The king didn't show up, what should you do?"
"Does Your Highness know about Mr. Wei Zhongcheng, the imperial censor in Taichung? I heard earlier that this Wei Zhongcheng is not afraid of powerful people and is an honest official. As long as he catches his pigtails, no matter how high-ranking the official is, he dares to sue him.
come before His Majesty.
So my daughter asked around and learned that Wei Zhongcheng would eat wontons at Zhangji Wonton Shop in Nanshi every morning after his court. When Pei Youxiang showed up, my daughter had secretly asked Liu Xiang to find Wei Zhongcheng. Nan
The city is only a cup of tea away from the Pei Mansion, and as long as Wei Zhongcheng comes forward, the matter will be brought directly to His Majesty."
When it comes to making a fuss in front of the Holy Emperor, it is not something Pei Youxiang can just keep private if he wants to.
With both hands prepared and a thorough plan, Yan Mingzhu can ensure that no matter what emergencies arise, she can leave the Pei family completely and still achieve her goal.
Bold and thoughtful, really interesting.
Qi Jue chuckled softly, his eyebrows opened like ink, and his cold phoenix eyes were as cold as spring. At this moment, it seemed that the ice and snow had melted and spring had returned to the earth.
With a flip of his wrist, Qi Jue took the scroll and tapped Yan Mingzhu's forehead gently.
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows and a lot of clever ideas."
Just at this time, Liu Xiang caught up with the carriage and said excitedly outside: "Girl, that Master Wei said that for today's matter, he will go to His Majesty to accuse You Prime Minister Pei of having no law.
The Pei family is going to be in bad luck, it’s really a relief!”
Qi Jue's appearance gave Wei Zhongcheng no chance to play, but Liu Xiang still brought Wei Zhongcheng over and let him witness everything.
With Wei Zhongcheng's upright character, he naturally couldn't bear to see Pei Youxiang's behavior of abusing power for personal gain.
It will be difficult for Prime Minister Pei to enter the palace again tomorrow.
Yan Mingzhu had a smile on her face, and the dappled sunlight filtering through the curtains shone into the car, making her beautiful eyes seem to be moving like stars. She completely ignored the birthmark on the right side of her face, and made her whole person extremely beautiful.
For a moment, Qi Jue was dazzled and lost his mind.
At this time, there were noisy sounds outside, accompanied by crying.
Yan Mingzhu lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out, "What happened outside?"
Liu Xiang also stretched her neck curiously to join in the fun, "Girl, it seems that the Guo Mansion is surrounded by the Forbidden Army, but which minister's family is this Guo Mansion? What did it do that it alerted the Forbidden Army?"
Usually, if a family is surrounded by the Forbidden Army, it has committed a capital crime and there is almost no room for reversal.
Qi Jue said calmly: "Guo Xiang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was greedy for power, delayed military flights, and was punished for several crimes. The men of the Guo family were sent to the frontiers, the young women of the family were used as prostitutes, and the old ones were sent to the secluded courtyard. They had to die. The descendants of the Guo family
They are all demoted to the rank of untouchables and will never be able to obtain any honors or become officials in the dynasty."
