Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 274 Covering the Sky 1
Qin Luoyu was slowly thinking about these things, when he heard a gentle voice from the opposite side: "Miss, are you awake?"

Pei Song didn't know that she was awake until he heard Qin Luoyu's sigh.

She wanted to call her Miss Fang when she opened her mouth, but she said that her surname was not Fang.

He thought, is it because the Fang family quickly canceled the engagement that day for fear of being implicated by the Pei family, and she didn't want him to know her identity?
As soon as he thought of this, he also removed the square character.

Seeing her shivering from the cold in a coma the night before, he begged the jailer for the first time, and brought her a thick blanket to cover her.

He served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment for a period of time, and although he is now a prisoner, the case of the Pei family was retried by the emperor's order, or there is a possibility of overturning the case, and the jailer did not dare to be too negligent.

However, no matter how much he asked about her name and what she committed, the jailer just kept his mouth shut and refused to say a word.

But thinking about it, Fang Shilang must have had a lot of trouble, otherwise, how could he implicate his daughter in torture and be imprisoned in this kind of place.

When Qin Luoyu heard this voice, he followed the sound and immediately became more energetic: "Pei Shangshu!"

Pei Song laughed at himself and said: "Pei is no longer a minister because of his guilt."

Qin Luoyu knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and when he saw Pei Song's eyebrows and eyes were a little sad, thinking of the sudden disaster of the Pei family, the tragic death of Prime Minister Pei, and his being imprisoned in such a place, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Can't help persuading: "Young Master Pei don't need to hurt yourself, I don't know when he will be in a high position in the future? I'm afraid he will be even more beautiful than Shangshu."

The future prime minister, minister of Zhongxing of the Ling Kingdom, was just joking.

Pei Song said in a low voice: "Pei does not dare to have such extravagant hopes, but only hopes to clear the grievances of the father and the Pei family, this life's wish is enough."

"Yes. Don't worry."

Qin Luoyu said firmly, "You won't stay in the prison for long, and you will definitely be able to go out. When you go out again, you will have the opportunity to show your ambitions like Prime Minister Pei."

Pei Song looked at her in surprise, "Do you believe my father is innocent?"

Qin Luoyu nodded: "Prime Minister Pei has served as the prime minister of the Ling Kingdom for 15 years. It can be said that he has tried his best. How could he do things that are not good for the Ling Kingdom. The emperor will investigate clearly and return the Pei family to a clean."

Pei Song felt a little complicated.

Although the emperor ordered a retrial of the case of Pei's family, there are few people in the government and the public who don't think his father is guilty.

It's just a question of big and small crimes, not a question of guilt or innocence.

But she was afraid that she had never even met her father, but she firmly believed that her father was innocent and the Pei family was innocent, so how could she not let him be moved.

Pei Song was silent for a moment, and didn't continue this topic, "Why is the girl also in prison?"

"Me? I have committed a great crime, a capital crime, an unforgivable crime."

Qin Luoyu's body didn't hurt so much, and he started talking nonsense, "Although I insisted that I didn't do it, they just don't believe it, and they have to arrest me here, so there's nothing wrong with it."

When Pei Song saw her saying that, he clearly didn't want to tell the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Both of them were silent for a while, each lowering their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

Qin Luoyu didn't know what Pei Song was thinking, but she herself was thinking about the details in that book, trying to find a chance to save herself.

She remembered the plot in the book that Ling Junxing was not poisoned.

So when she saw Ling Junxing vomit blood and fainted, she was completely stunned, and she had no idea who the poisoner was.

But now that I think about it carefully, there are clues to follow.

There was no one in the harem, only Pei Zhenzhen and Concubine Chen, the granddaughter of Grand Master Zong who had never met.

In addition, it is the Queen Mother and the fifth princess Ling Qingyan who occasionally goes in and out of the palace.

Although Ling Qingyan has a bit of an arrogant temper, her mind is simple, and she also has feelings for Ling Junxing, the second brother, and she would not do such a thing that hurt Ling Junxing.

As for Concubine Chen, since she entered the palace, she kept her door closed all day long, and even Qin Luoyu had never seen what she looked like.

Although this woman will be a good role in Gongdou in the future, Qin Luoyu doesn't think she has the guts to murder Ling Junxing now.

On the contrary, because of the Pei family's affairs, Pei Zhenzhen knelt down and begged for mercy and was rejected. It is unknown that Ling Junxing turned to hate because of love. It seems that she had a strong motive to murder the emperor.

But first of all, Pei Zhenzhen is actually like Ling Qingyan, her mind is not that complicated outside of her love mind, otherwise she wouldn't fail in the palace fight and be pulled down from the queen's position;
Secondly, the dining room is so strictly controlled, if you want to poison Ling Junxing, you need not only scheming and courage, but also some means.

Based on what she knew about Pei Zhenzhen, Pei Zhenzhen might only have guts, but lacked too much scheming and means.

So someone who can cover the sky with one hand in the harem and do such things, just think about it, and you can guess who it is.

Although he had guessed who the poisoner was, Qin Luoyu still couldn't believe it.

After all, although this person has never fulfilled any mother's responsibilities to Ling Junxing, deep down in Ling Junxing's heart, he still values ​​and cares about his mother very much.

Of course, she can also do something to Ling Jun.

He did not hesitate to poison Lord Ling. Naturally, it was impossible to just frame Qin Luoyu. There must be a deeper purpose behind it.

So what is she up to?
Qin Luoyu couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up, and then continued to think about who could help him. This thought, he really thought of someone.

"Mr. Pei." Qin Luoyu looked at Pei Song, "You have been in prison for so long, but someone came to see you?"

Pei Song was slightly taken aback, then said, "Yes."

The person who came to see Pei Song was named Ding Hua.

It was originally just a small judge in Dali Temple. Pei Song was working as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at the beginning, and he accidentally saw an official document of him, and he praised his talent very much.

After talking with him for a while, he admired his talent and ability to handle affairs, so he made an exception and promoted him to be the director of Dali Temple.

Ding Hua lived up to Pei Song's expectations and handled everything in an orderly manner, very reliable.

After the two got in touch with each other for a while, Pei Song found out that Ding Hua was also his father's protégé back then.

Because of this affection, when the Pei family was in trouble, Ding Hua was not afraid of being involved, and wrote a letter to plead for the Pei family.

Along with Ding Hua, there were also two disciples of Pei Yuandao who interceded.As a result, the emperor was so angry that he also imprisoned them in imperial prison.

But later the emperor ordered the Ministry of Officials to re-examine the case of the Pei family, and they were all released.

Only Ding Hua had some friendship with the Ministry of Punishments because he was an official in Dali Temple, so he was able to find a little opportunity to visit Pei Song.

Qin Luoyu thought, it really was Ding Hua.

When Pei Song later served as the prime minister's first assistant to promote the New Deal, Ding Hua was Pei Song's capable subordinate.

She listened attentively to the dark prison hallway, and made sure that there was no human voice around, so she lowered her voice and said, "If Master Ding comes to see you again, I want Master Ding to help me find someone."

Pei Song was slightly surprised: "Who?"

"Forbidden army soldier Cao Canjun, Zhan Shaogang."

*
The emperor has not been in court for five consecutive days, which has never happened since Ling Junxing ascended the throne.

Whether it was in the court hall or in private at the Qianyuan Hall, none of the ministers could see the emperor.

The queen mother only summoned the prime minister, Huangfu Yan, to enter the palace, saying that the emperor is ill and is recovering from illness. General state affairs are temporarily handled by the cabinet prime minister's office, and important events can be reported to Qianyuan hall according to the usual practice.

The courtiers talked a lot, and for a moment they didn't know what disease the emperor had, and they felt uneasy.

Although Zhu Junyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, was as bright as a mirror in his heart, how dare he reveal half a word.

After all, the Empress Dowager had ordered the Department of Penalties to interrogate in secret, but it was revealed that the Emperor was poisoned and comatose, and there would be no pardon.

The courtiers discussed in panic, but there was no other way.

Wei Wuji, who was in the Xiaoqi camp, didn't know that the emperor didn't go to court.

During this period of time, Wei Wuji stayed in the North Camp and the West Camp, inspecting and supervising the training and defense of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

Because Zhan Shaogang was involved in Zhai Mu's defection before, and later pleaded for Zhai Mu and lost his post as general of the Xiaoqi battalion, he had to rectify military affairs and enforce military discipline, so he stayed in the military camp for a while.

Until he received an urgent military report, Wei Wuji didn't dare to delay, and went back all night to ask to see the emperor.

However, for the first time in history, he was stopped outside the palace gate.

The imperial guards guarding the palace gate did not allow him to enter, but only took his urgent report and said that it would be sent to Qianyuan Hall, "Marshal Wei will just wait."

Wei Wuji had no choice but to wait.

The report he submitted to the Qianyuan Palace was an urgent military situation, and he should have received a reply on the same day.

However, after waiting for five full days, he finally received a long overdue reply, which only had four words: "Wait and see."

These four characters are not handwritten by the emperor. It is said that the emperor is unwell, so the eunuch Bingbi helped write them.

Wei Wuji finally realized something was wrong.

The urgent report he submitted came from the Northland.

After the northern barbarians were annihilated decades ago, the barbarians all moved to other parts of the Ling Kingdom, and the remaining barbarians were also scattered in the wild desert of the northern land.

However, recently, these northern barbarians who were originally scattered have a tendency to gather together.

The place where they gathered was located in Pingliang City.

Pingliang City was the former capital of Dayan Kingdom, and later became a city garrisoned by Ling Kingdom.

The barbarians gathered more and more in Pingliang, but because the opponents only gathered and did not take any other actions, the defenders of Pingliang City could not do anything to them.

The guard of Pingliang City ordered people to monitor these barbarians, and at the same time sent back an urgent letter asking for instructions on what to do.

Based on Wei Wuji's understanding of the emperor, it is impossible to wait and see what happens when this happens.

The northern barbarians may have something to do with the poisoning of the empress, the case of Pei Yuandao, Xiao Shangyan, and even the changes in Los Angeles ten years ago.

How could it be possible for the emperor to remain indifferent upon receiving such an urgent letter, and ask him to wait and see what happens?
The emperor is afraid that he is not recuperating, but that something happened.

Since the palace gate could not be entered, Wei Wuji hurried to find Xue Yuheng.

He originally thought that the emperor was sick, and Xue Yuheng would definitely go to the palace to see a doctor for the emperor, but he didn't know that Xue Yuheng was drying medicinal herbs in the backyard, and had never been to the palace at all.

In fact, Xue Yuheng had heard about the emperor's illness, but no one in the palace invited him and his master to the palace to see a doctor, so the emperor's illness could be treated by the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor can handle it, so it is naturally not a serious illness.

So Xue Yuheng didn't take it too seriously.

Hearing what Wei Wuji said now, Xue Yuheng realized that something might have happened in the palace.
