After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 279

Sitting in front of the desk, Emperor Pei asked Concubine Jing to take out two blank imperial edicts while panting heavily.

Concubine Jing was hesitant, but she went to get it anyway, and helped Emperor Pei lay it and grind it.

Pei Di frowned, thought for a while, and finished writing in one go.

Concubine Jing was on the side, and naturally saw the content inside, she was stunned, looked at Emperor Pei in disbelief, also frowned, and didn't understand why Emperor Pei wrote it like this.

Emperor Pei quickly wrote the imperial decree and handed it to Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing stretched out her hand to take it, and said shyly, "Your Majesty, Sheng'er is far away in the Western Capital. When he comes back, it may be a foregone conclusion, and it will be too late."

"It's not too late." Emperor Pei glanced out the window of the outer room, and said in a low voice, "There was news from Xidu a few days ago that the war is about to end. I'm counting the journey..."

Peidi's eyes flashed with hope.

Concubine Jing was slightly stunned, then thought of something, and said very discouraged, "But I can't get out either, the empress will definitely not let me go."

Emperor Pei thought for a while, then made up his mind and said, "I have a solution, follow me."

Concubine Jing was suspicious, but obediently supported him and followed him.

When the two came to the bookshelf, Emperor Pei took out a book from the cabinet, put it in a place, and pressed it hard, only to hear a "click".

Concubine Jing already thought of something and looked at Emperor Pei in surprise.

Pei Di panted slightly, just that moment, as if he had used up all his strength.

"Your majesty, are you okay?" Concubine Jing looked at him worriedly.

Pei Di leaned against the cabinet slightly, panting, "I'm fine. Push the cabinet."

In fact, he is not well at all, he feels that he will fall down at any time, and he is only supported by a strong will.

Although Concubine Jing was extremely worried, but there were more important things to do now, she could only push the bookcase obediently first, and sure enough, a secret door appeared.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly." Concubine Jing looked surprised in the dark, and immediately went to help Emperor Pei.

Emperor Pei smiled at her, "No, I won't go, you go with the imperial decree, this secret passage leads directly to the other garden outside the palace."

"What? No way!" Concubine Jing became anxious when she heard that he would not leave, and shook her head again and again.

"You are obedient." Emperor Pei will not leave, this is his home field, he will die here if he dies, and he will never run away.

"No, I won't leave if you don't." Concubine Jing shook her head.

"Be obedient." Peidi was very moved in his heart, and his tone softened by three points. After all, she still cared about him.

"Go quickly with the imperial decree, time is running out, my dear." Emperor Pei's eyes were firm and strong.

Concubine Jing's eyes turned red in an instant, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and she choked up, "You must hold on, I'll go out and find someone to rescue you."

Seeing her like this, Emperor Pei felt distressed and relieved, waved his hand and said, "Go."

Concubine Jing knew that she could not delay, so she wiped away her tears and said resolutely, "Wait for me."

With that said, he turned and entered the passage.

Pei Di looked at her disappearing back, with a sad smile on his lips.

Unable to hold on any longer, he fell to the ground.

But he couldn't just let it go, he took a breather, stood up with all his strength, and restored the secret path to its original state.

Then, holding on to the cabinet, chair, and table, he slowly moved towards the inner room. For a short distance, he walked very slowly, recalling his life in his mind, and his emotions were churning.

After finally returning to the bed, he took out a porcelain bottle from the dark cabinet beside the bed, poured out a pill, and threw it into his mouth. Then, he closed his eyes and slowly became unconscious.

When the empress came in, she immediately realized that something was wrong. Concubine Jing had disappeared, and seeing Emperor Pei lying on the bed silently, she was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.

Boldly stepped forward to touch his breath, and found that there was still a trace of breath, but it was very weak.

She was panting, only feeling panicked in her heart, she didn't know whether it was regret or happiness.

Pushed Pei Di vigorously, trying to wake him up, but unfortunately, Pei Di didn't respond at all, and seemed to be in a coma.

She couldn't, she looked around, but she couldn't find Concubine Jing, so she could only leave first.

Walk out of the inner room and come to the main hall. At this moment, swords are on the verge of breaking out in the main hall.

Pei Jing and Pei Zhao were followed by a team of imperial guards, each holding one side, and all the ministers were also three-legged.

One side supports Pei Jing, one side supports Pei Zhao, and the other side waits and sees neutrally.

Seeing the Empress Empress come out, everyone looked at her.

The empress drove directly to Pei Zhao and whispered, "The emperor is unconscious."

Pei Zhao was taken aback, his hands clenched behind his back tightly into fists, anxious in his heart.

"Your Majesty, speak louder? What did your father say?" Pei Jing couldn't hear clearly, but seeing that Pei Zhao's expression was wrong, he knew that something must be wrong, so he immediately asked loudly and asked, "I want to go in and see my father."

Pei Jing was extremely excited.Before, I got the news that my father was dying, but now it seems that it is so.

And the father did not write a will, otherwise, the empress should have taken it out long ago, so she would not waste it here with him.

This is his chance, his only chance.How could he not be excited.

"Presumptuous, if the father wants to see you, he will summon you." Pei Zhao said a little harshly, "Second brother, you are rebellious today and trespassed in the palace, why? Could it be that you want to force the palace?"

Pei Zhao had no choice but to be tough now.

Too many things happened in the past few days, which caught him off guard.

First, the father was assassinated and seriously injured. Later, the second younger brother suddenly led people into the palace, and half of the imperial army rebelled. Fortunately, the queen mother was wise and found out what was wrong in time, so the current situation came about.

Before, the queen mother went in to ask the emperor for instructions, but the news came that he was asked to guard the hall.

Although he had some doubts, he did it anyway.

But now, the father is actually in a coma.

What should he do?
"You are the one who is rebellious. Brother, Ming people don't speak dark words. I got the news that you murdered your father and usurped the throne. Now it seems that this is really the case. Otherwise, why don't you let me go to see the emperor?" Pei Jing looked at the ministers , loudly said, "My lords, King Zhao's murder of the emperor is an unforgivable crime. I want to clear the king's side. Please be a witness, my lords."

"You're talking nonsense, father is fine." Pei Zhao never expected that he would be so bold as to curse father and put unwarranted charges on him, it is simply abhorrent.

"It was you who trespassed on the imperial palace yourself, and all the adults are watching. Second brother, before you make a big mistake, stop in time, and I will plead with the emperor and give you a lighter sentence. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. "Pei Zhao also understood at this time that his second brother was planning to rebel, and he must guard this place for his father.

"I need you to be polite." Pei Jing was not afraid of his threat at all, and was even a little excited. He waved his arms and said loudly, "Everyone, whoever catches King Zhao will be rewarded."
