win the hairpin

King Jin stepped forward. Although Su Ting was expressionless, his arrogance leaked from his seven orifices, making him look like a victorious rooster.

With one hand on the knife at his waist and one hand on his hip, he said to King Jin with a straight face: "My lord is worrying too much, I'm not right about things, and I will never be dissatisfied with my lord because of official business. You don't have to invite Xiangye Dong Make peace."

King Jin nodded his head very gently, and said with a smile: "It's me who treats a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. It's fine for Su Zhi not to worry about it. If Su Zhi is free, he can go to the house for a drink."

Su Ting felt a sense of fear in his heart when he saw the jade-like smiling face of Shangjin King.

At this time, King Jin was like a perfect jade statue. There were gods and evil spirits living in the statue, but with his naked eyes, he couldn't tell which of the two was smiling at him.

He suddenly became vigilant, took half a step back, lowered his eyes, and did not look into Prince Jin's eyes: "Don't dare to have a drink, I have no enmity with the prince in official affairs, and we have no deep friendship in private matters, so I won't bother you any more." , everyone should do their own thing well.”

King Jin took half a step forward, and patted Su Ting on the shoulder: "Don't be so introverted, we are all serving His Majesty, so there are naturally many opportunities for communication."

King Yan watched from a distance, his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and finally he couldn't help but walked back, sneering: "Brother, if you don't leave, what are you talking to Su Zhi here? Could it be that he drank too much and started talking nonsense?"

King Jin glanced at him quite tolerantly: "It's nonsense to you, my second child, but it's certainly not to me."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not harmonious, Dong Tongying was afraid that the two brothers would fight in the palace, so she hurriedly said to make peace: "It's getting late, we've finished what we need to say, let's go out of the palace first."

After finishing speaking, he asked Su Ting to keep busy, while he walked forward with old steps.

King Jin also left, leaving King Yan angry and anxious, he didn't want to leave or stay, in the end it was Yue Zhongtai who stepped forward and pulled him away.

As soon as they left, only Su stayed where he was, not understanding why King Jin came out.

And Wei Qiao walked back from the dark, asked the little waiter carrying the food box to deliver the shortbread to the residence of the two princes, and returned to Wende Hall from behind.

He told Jinshang everything he saw just now, and Jinshang waved him out, and paced back and forth in the hall by himself.

After a while, he gritted his teeth in resentment—these two sons seemed to be getting confused with his commander of the Forbidden Army.

No wonder the two people who had always been at odds with each other spoke in unison today and refused to let the young general who killed Yelu Qizhen enter the Forbidden Army.

This young general is now only a Marquis of Du Yu at the border, but if he has military merits in the future, it is hard to guarantee that I will not transfer him to the Fourth Army. If he takes a longer view, he may become the commander-in-chief.

Such a commander-in-chief who has no background and no foundation in Beijing must be loyal to himself wholeheartedly, and it would be futile for any party to try to win him over.

Unlike Su Ting, he is also loyal, but that loyalty is not as pure as in the past. Now that Su Ting is full-fledged, it is inevitable that he will have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he even started to panic, because for no reason there appeared in his mind the king of Jin and the king of Yan, who were eager for success and killed the king and their father.

It seemed that Concubine Zhang Guifei was asking to see her outside, but today she waved her hand and disappeared, resting alone in Wende Hall, wanting to think about how to check and balance the relationship.

Thinking about it, he fell asleep in the fragrance of the flowers, and then had a nightmare for no reason.

He dreamed of Queen Pei.

Empress Pei died at his hands, but he committed the murder outright, and he never felt guilty about it. Naturally, he never dreamed of her, but tonight, for some reason, he just dreamed about it.

Probably as King Jin grew up, the ghost of Empress Pei also grew stronger, and even dared to come to his dream.

Empress Pei is a good-natured person with a soft appearance and a soft temper. She doesn't say a word easily, manages the six palaces very properly, and is kind-hearted. No matter the palace people or the female relatives, they like her very much.

When she died, she was still very young. That night was probably the most shameful time in her life. She struggled for a long time because she refused to die, and her whole body changed due to the pain.

At the end of the pain, she still didn't die. She held on to her breath like this, as if she was going to wait for the fourth watch to sue herself in front of all the officials.

But he can't help it. If she doesn't die, is it waiting for the Pei family to produce another queen mother?

When the court is in turmoil, will it not be the common people who will suffer?

He really had no choice but to ask Empress Pei to be considerate, and put the dying Empress Pei into a coffin for the sake of the stability of the world.

Standing outside the coffin, he could still hear the knocking, scratching and moaning from inside the coffin.

He always thought that he was right, that he was the emperor, so he should have such killing methods, but in his dream, Empress Pei took advantage of King Jin's aura to suddenly lift the lid of the coffin and crawled out from inside.

Her face was horrific—purplish red, with black blood dripping from her seven orifices, a deep circle of tooth marks on her lips, disheveled hair, and venomous eyes.

The putrid smell enveloped him, suffocating him.

Her hands were also terrible, the nails were broken, and even the fingers were twisted, sticking out bloody and bloody, all the way to his neck.

He was afraid, and tried to defend himself in his dream: "If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself as the Pei family! I want the country to last forever, so I can't have foreign relatives to make trouble. If you don't die, how can the Pei family give up!"

However, Empress Pei was very polite when she was alive, but she was unreasonable after her death. She chased him and killed him in her dream. There was no way for him to escape, she stumbled and fell from the high platform.

Imakami opened his eyes suddenly, his heart was beating crazily in his chest, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he looked around blankly - the surrounding was dark, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.

Although he couldn't tell the time, he could tell that he was just having a nightmare, and Queen Pei didn't appear.

A heart sank a little, still not daring to move rashly, very afraid that Empress Pei would hide in some corner, ready to chase and intercept him at any time: "Wei Qiao!"

Wei Qiao was sleeping in the outer room. Hearing Jinshang's movement, he got up from the ground and walked in lightly: "Your Majesty."

"Light up the lamp." Hearing Wei Qiao's voice, Jinshang slowly settled down and lay down.

Wei Qiao lit the candlesticks in the inner room, put on the lampshade, and heard Jin Shang's order: "Light up all the lamps!"

Wei Qiao didn't know why, but he obeyed the order to light up all the candlesticks in the dormitory. For a while, the candles in the room were brightly illuminated.

He stepped forward and opened the curtain, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not feeling well? Do you want to call the imperial physician?"

Opening the curtain, he realized that Imakami's eyes were wide open, and he looked very flustered.

Imakami glanced at him, then waved his hand: "No."

Wei Qiao didn't know why and stood aside.

Today, in the bright candlelight, a heart is falling into the abyss——Li Shouming, King Jin, did he already know the cause of Empress Pei's death?

Jin Wang knew, did the Pei family also know?
