Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 264 Chaos in Kyoto Part 1
Qin Luoyu saw that Ling Junxing's expression softened a little, and was planning to continue coaxing him.

A fast horse suddenly came galloping from far to near. The person who came was a messenger from Beijing and China. He galloped off the horse and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is critically ill!"

Ling Junxing suddenly got up, took the letter from the messenger and read it, his face changed slightly.

Without a moment's hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Zhenzhen and Jueying will go back to Night City first."

Qin Luoyu and everyone were stunned for a moment, never expecting such an accident.

Ling Junxing had already got on his horse, his eyes passed over the girl who was still a little dazed, he paused for a few seconds, and then he glanced at Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji understood: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers will definitely escort your empress back to Beijing safely."

Lord Ling stopped talking, shook the reins, the horse neighed, and flew away like an arrow, and the two of them quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qin Luoyu stared at the empty distance and lost his mind for a while, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

This anxiety is not because of herself, but because of Ling Junxing.

Everything in this world seems to have happened in advance because of her coming.

For example, the peace negotiation between the two countries, the revelation of the "truth" of the Los Angeles incident ten years ago, the decline of the Xiao family, and Xiao Shangyan's escape.

According to this rhythm, the accident in the book that caused Ling Junxing to suffer a heavy blow and change his heart, will it come earlier?
*
Night City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Pei Yuandao was sitting by the desk, flipping through a letter by candlelight, his brows and eyes full of worry.

After a long time, he lit the letter on the candle and threw it into the charcoal basin beside him.

Seeing that the letter was swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes, he sighed softly.

When the door was knocked, Pei Yuandao restrained his worry and said in a warm voice, "Come in."

Wearing a blue gown, the handsome young man pushed the door open and came in: "Father, are you looking for me?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Pei Yuandao showed kindness in his eyes, "How do you feel in the Ministry of Punishment during this time? Are you much busier than in Dali Temple before?"

The young man in front of him is Pei Song, the new minister of punishment.

Pei Song nodded slightly: "It is indeed a lot busier than Dali Temple, there are many criminal cases, and there are thousands of clues, but it is also rewarding to calm down."

Pei Yuandao nodded, "The emperor entrusts you with the burden of the Ministry of Punishment. You must take it seriously, and you must not disappoint the emperor's trust."

Pei Song cupped his hands, "My child will remember Daddy's teachings."

Pei Yuandao signaled Pei Song to sit down, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Father called you here today because he has something to tell you."

Pei Yuandao pondered for a few seconds, and said, "You also know that Mr. Taichang Qing and I have always been friends. He fell off his horse and died in the Daishan Palace that day. I often feel uneasy."

Pei Song looked up at Pei Yuan and said, "Father, what happened to Mr. Deng was an accident. The Emperor has made a conclusion, and it has nothing to do with Father."

"I know, but I was the last person with him the night he died."

Pei Yuandao looked sad, "If I send him back to his residence that night, maybe nothing will happen. Father always thinks about it, and he feels ashamed."

He paused, and then continued: "But father didn't want to tell you about this today - father wanted to tell you about becoming an official."

Pei Song was taken aback, "To be an official? Dad is very good, why do you want to be an official?"

"From the time of the first emperor to the present, I have been the prime minister for 15 years. During these 15 years, I have worked hard and thought hard, and I have never dared to relax for a moment."

Pei Yuandao seemed to be feeling something, and sighed, "Now that Dad is getting old, his strength is getting weaker and weaker. You also know that Dad has always placed his love on flowers and plants, and loves gardening. Dad wants to resign from the position of prime minister and devote himself to gardening flowers and plants. A few years of leisure."

Pei Song looked solemn, "Father, because the emperor set up the right and left prime minister, are you unhappy?"

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and they all said that the emperor's move was to decentralize power, and the emperor was afraid that he no longer trusted the old prime minister.

All kinds of gossip sounds very disturbing.

"Your majesty is young and promising, and he can be called a wise and wise lord. He has quelled the ten-year war with the Great Qin Kingdom as soon as he ascended the throne. He made a peace plan, which is an act to benefit the people of Ling Kingdom."

Pei Yuandao stroked the teacup in his hand, "What's more, it is a good thing to set up the right and left prime ministers, which will help avoid talking. Although I am not talented, I will not have any discord with the emperor. This old bone, you can go back to your hometown to rest."

What's more, the Pei family has been too popular in the past few years, and the tree attracts the wind. It is also a good thing for the Pei family that he has retired.

Pei Song was silent for a long while.

When Dad said these words today, he must have thought about it for a long time and made up his mind.

I'm afraid that no matter how hard he persuades him, he won't be able to persuade him anymore.

"I've already written the official letter, and I'll submit it when the emperor comes back. Speaking of which, I'm not worried about the affairs of the court. It's just, "

Pei Yuandao looked at Pei Song lovingly, "You are now in your twenties, but your marriage is still undecided. Every time Dad thinks about it, he is always worried. Your sister has been in the palace as a concubine for more than half a year. Shouldn't your marriage be decided? gone?"

Pei Song lowered his eyes, "My child is busy with official duties, so I really don't want to marry a wife and have children."

"Nonsense. Is it possible to have a family if you are busy with work? A few years ago you said that you have no time to be distracted by reading, but now you are busy with work. What reason are you going to talk about in the future?"

Pei Yuandao handed a letter of greeting to Pei Song, "This is Miss Fang's birth date——Fang Shilang invited me to dinner a few days ago, and he said that his daughter has admired you for a long time, and that Daishan hunting ground met you by chance. On the one hand, I was shocked. Fang Shilang wanted to ask me to ask you if Miss Fang's family is interested. If so, it would be a good thing for the two families to get married."

Pei Song's brows and eyes moved slightly, has he admired him for a long time?Have you met once at the Daishan hunting ground?
The girl who was smiling and smiling that day unconsciously appeared in her mind, and said seriously: "Did Pei Shaoqing misunderstand the word exaggerated? I think that the rumors did not fully explain Pei Shaoqing's demeanor."

So that girl is the daughter of the Fang family?

Seeing him silent, Pei Yuandao thought he was unwilling, and his expression became a bit serious: "The marriage must be settled after all. If you are so procrastinating, is it possible that you can still get married? Fang Shilang and father are also close friends, and Miss Fang heard so too." There are few girls who are both virtuous and beautiful, you"

Pei Song bowed and said, "My child's marriage is up to my father's decision."

Before Pei Yuandao could finish his long speech, Pei Song's words got stuck in his throat.

Surprised, but also a little unbelievable: "You are, agree?"

Pei Song nodded: "Father is right, the marriage must be settled after all, it's better to settle it earlier."

Pei Yuandao was overjoyed. He was afraid that Pei Song would regret it, "Since that's the case, the two families have decided on the marriage in the past few days. After the spring of next year, we will choose an auspicious day for the wedding."

Pei Song said meekly: "I listen to my father."

Pei Yuan said: "."

This stinky brat who always talks about getting married and never gets into it is finally enlightened, fortunately!
