The phoenix of the daughter's rebirth is all over the world

Chapter 420 Take what you need
From the high pavilion next to the Qinzheng Hall, overlooking the entire imperial palace, above it, the nine palaces and palaces are all under your feet.

"Your Majesty, there is still no news about Xiao Que from Luoyuan. Could it be that the situation is not good..." Seeing that Emperor Zhao looked out the window and remained silent, Xia Shouzhong could only bite the bullet and pass the news from Luoyuan. Pass the latest news to Emperor Zhao.

Now that the night is dark, the entire palace city is still lit with palace lanterns, and it is more majestic than in the daytime, but Emperor Zhao's gaze has always been on the southwest direction, where it is quiet and deserted, even if he can't see it in the night , but Xia Shouzhong knew exactly where Emperor Zhao was looking with the scent of pear blossoms that wafted along with the night wind.

At the end of February and early spring, the weather is still cold. There are early peaches and plums in the capital that have already blossomed. In Chaoyun Pavilion, the early pear blossoms are just blooming. The night wind blows, bringing a dark fragrance to the face.

Few people know that the high pavilion next to Qinzheng Hall, apart from being able to have a panoramic view of the Nine Palaces, is just separated from Chaoyun Pavilion by a wall.

He is an old man who has been with Emperor Zhao for so many years. He is clear about the entanglement between the emperor and Princess Chaoyun but kept his mouth shut. He is clear about the entanglement in such a big royal scandal, which shows that Emperor Zhao trusts him.

Xia Shouzhong knew how much Emperor Zhao loved Princess Chaoyun when he was young, and how much he hated him after being betrayed by her and King Nie.

But these years have passed, and with the passage of time, even though there are three thousand beauties in the harem, Emperor Zhao's longing for Princess Chaoyun will last forever.Princess Chaoyun can be regarded as the emperor's only weakness.

So in these years, Xiao Que was still safe even though Emperor Zhao had already had the intention to kill several times. Apart from the help of Gu Rui, it was because Emperor Zhao cared about Princess Chaoyun and did not have the intention to kill completely.

Only this time, Xia Shouzhong knew that Emperor Zhao was completely murderous.

Thinking of Xiao Que, Xia Shouzhong couldn't help clenching his hands slightly.The mother and son's eyes were so similar, cold as frost, but with the power to see through people's hearts, he couldn't help being startled.

Outside the palace that day, Xiao Que's meaningful expression became his nightmare, and he could not live in peace day and night.He knew how scary he was, a person whom even Emperor Zhao feared deeply, if Xiao Que knew what happened back then, would he still have a way out?

Fortunately, Emperor Zhao wanted to kill him, Xia Shouzhong even hoped that Xiao Que would die immediately in an ambush than Emperor Zhao.

It took Xia Shouzhong a long time to get a response from Emperor Zhao. He looked away from the outside, and murmured: "Can't kill Xiao Que? Can't kill Xiao Que, then I will be completely defeated, defeated... "

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Emperor Zhao's slumped appearance, Xia Shouzhong couldn't help shouting.

The wind outside blew the palace lanterns and swayed, and Emperor Zhao's face flickered under the candlelight. Unlike his depressed tone, his expression was smiling. His tone was almost crazy and he said: "Even if you lose , so what? As long as the blood oath is still alive, as long as I live, I will always be the king, and he will always be the subject."

No matter whose hands this country will fall into after he dies, as long as he lives to restrain him with that blood oath, such an arrogant person can still only bow down and bow down to be a vassal, it makes him feel happy to think about it.

Xiao Que destroyed all his things, and made his world torn apart, leaving him with nothing. He was in pain, but how could Xiao Que get better?He obviously hated him to the bone, but he couldn't kill him himself.You cannot avenge your own loved ones.

And what he has to do is to live, even if he can't defeat Xiao Que, let him lose his most important things little by little.

"Xia Shouzhong, tomorrow is the day of execution..." In the silence, Emperor Zhao asked faintly.Xia Shouzhong quickly replied, "Yes."

Waiting is the most frustrating thing. On February 22, around noon, Fu Yunshu kept walking up and down the palace, making Liu Qingyan's eyes dazzled.Seeing Liu Qingyan sitting there, Fu Yunshu walked back and forth in the hall uneasy, and finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you okay?"

Seeing Fu Yunshu's restlessness, Liu Qingyan smiled lightly and said, "Yunshu, when has Xiao Que never done what he wants to do?"

The anxiety in Fu Yunshu's heart decreased a bit, but he still asked hesitantly: "But even if uncle and the others are rescued from the capital, what should the Pei family do next? With such a crime, uncle... "

The Pei family was loyal, and Pei Zhengxuan was even more loyal to the imperial court. Even if Xiao Que sent people to rescue Pei Zhengxuan and the others after leaving the capital, Pei Mo led his troops to rescue them. Although they were safe and sound, the Pei family would always bear the reputation of a traitor .

As for Pei Zhengxuan, he would rather be killed by Emperor Zhao than let the Pei family bear such a stigma.

Liu Qingyan looked at Fu Yunshu, sighed slightly and said: "From the time when Pei Yue sold your life experience to Emperor Zhao as a trade, you should understand that the Pei family is already regarded as a thorn in the eyes of Emperor Zhao."

Fu Yunshu's brows twitched, and Liu Qingyan's voice was surprisingly cold, and he said, "Yunshu, you should understand that according to Emperor Zhao's character, even if it is Pei's replacement, sooner or later he will be labeled a traitor and punished. "

Emperor Zhao's character is suspicious and suspicious, not a lord with a big heart. The Pei family with heavy soldiers in their hands started to hide Fu Yunshu's life experience. Today, more than ten years ago, it has already laid a hidden danger for the future of the Pei family.If you want a way out, you can only go against it.

Instead of killing the Pei family before Emperor Zhao killed him, Xiao Que took the opportunity to force the Pei family back. Although his reputation was gone, he was still alive.

Fu Yunshu smiled wryly, and said, "Even though I know the situation is like this, I'm afraid that uncle won't see it..."

Compared to Fu Yunshu's worries, Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "That may not be the case."

There was a hint of meaning in the smile.

At the post station in Yiyang at this time, Pei Mo and Xiao Que led the team and waited in the post station to wait for news from the capital.

"Why do you want to help the Pei family?" Pei Mo asked the silent man sitting by the side waiting for news.

They had been waiting here all night, and the long wait made people feel restless. Even Pei Mo couldn't help but want to chat with Xiao Que to ease the restlessness in his heart.

He had wanted to ask Xiao Que this question for a long time along the way, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity. Now that there were only two of them, he finally couldn't help asking.

He is a smart man, and he understands the situation in the court much better than Pei Zhengxuan.Emperor Zhao had a suspicious personality, and the Pei family was stationed in the important area of ​​Ningzhou, holding heavy troops, which would arouse Emperor Zhao's suspicion sooner or later.Besides, Yun Shu's identity will bring disaster to the Pei family sooner or later.

Now that the court is in danger, the Pei family can only protect themselves under such circumstances, but he knows that his father would rather die than do this for the century-old reputation of the Pei family.

When the third uncle was captured by Emperor Zhao, Pei Mo knew clearly that this was the harbinger of Emperor Zhao's dealing with the Pei family and also an excellent opportunity for Emperor Zhao to deal with the Pei family.

Emperor Zhao had murderous intentions towards the Pei family. It's not that he hadn't talked with his father about the use of loyalty to such a monarch. In order to protect himself, he might as well do it instead.But what he got was a reprimand from his father, and then, the next day, his father went to Beijing alone.

Just when Pei Mo thought that the Pei family was going to end like this, Xiao Que's secret letter arrived in Ningzhou, but it brought a certain turn for the matter.

With Xiao Que's help, not only would they be able to survive this turmoil, but the reputation of the Pei family would not be damaged at all.

However, after weighing the pros and cons for a while, he agreed to cooperate with Xiao Que. Under such circumstances—both his father and third uncle fell into the hands of Emperor Zhao, he had no choice but to agree.

The Pei family was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, and was escorted to Beijing, but he escaped halfway, and fled to Luoyuan to contact the old department loyal to the Pei family.

After Pei's family was convicted, Emperor Zhao couldn't wait to let someone go to the border to take over his father's position.After all, he underestimated the loyalty of the Pei family's army. Even though Liu Yue is the commander in chief of the three armies in name, he has no morale.And he has been hidden in Ningzhou's army by his personal guards all the time, no matter how Liu Yue thinks about it, he can't imagine that the imperial court's criminals are right under his nose.

This time Xiao Que used the pretext of going to Fengcheng as an envoy, but the actual final destination was to reach Ningzhou and join hands with him to eliminate Liu Yue and regain military power.

Everything was proceeding quietly according to Xiao Que's plan, until now Pei Mo was still puzzled, Xiao Que spent so much effort just to help the Pei family?And what benefits does this move have for Xiao Que?

Xiao Que glanced at Pei Mo indifferently, and said, "Do you know who I'm for?"

This kind of answer was both expected and unexpected. I originally thought that Xiao Que had put down Yun Shu since Luo Yuan left, but I didn't expect...

Seeing Pei Mo's complexion, Xiao Que added another sentence lightly: "This move is just for you and me to take what we need."

After Emperor Zhao's plan to arrest Pei Yiyun and his repeated attempts to rescue him failed, such a plan had already been formed in his mind.

Emperor Zhao had already murdered the Pei family, and it was impossible for the Pei family to stay out of this fight as Pei Zhengxuan wished.Rescuing Pei Yiyun, and letting the Pei family completely break away from this situation, the only thing they can do is to force the Pei family back.

But Xiao Que knew that with Pei Zhengxuan's character, even if Emperor Zhao put a knife on his neck, he would rather suffer death than be against him.

So, before Emperor Zhao, he detained Pei Zhengxuan and arrested all the members of the Pei family on charges of accomplices, but in fact protected them.Only Pei Mo, who has the highest prestige in the army and can see the situation most thoroughly, stayed.

This was only part of the plan, and the next step was to take advantage of this opportunity to boldly remove the last force in Emperor Zhao's hands—the Royal Guards.

According to the original plan, Zhou Xiang would not take such risks in everything, but he didn't have much time left.So under such an opportunity, such an adventurous plan was formed.
