Duan Yi was just a little eunuch. He was initially bewitched by the 50,000 taels of gold before he decided to take the medicine. But now that the incident had failed, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was afraid that the incident would be revealed at some point, and he would be escorted out of the Meridian Gate and executed.
When Duan Yi thought of the bloody scene, he couldn't sit still even more. After staying in the palace in fear for two days, he once again found an excuse and rushed to the Pei Mansion.
Zhan Zhao, who had been secretly monitoring Duan Yi, immediately followed Duan Yi out of the palace and followed him all the way, and saw him walking straight into the Pei Mansion.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the culprit behind the murder of the emperor's heir turned out to be this old thief Pei Ju. It's really abominable that a high-ranking official in the imperial court has ulterior motives. When I tell the emperor, I will kill the whole Pei family to make him a good minister! "
Zhan Zhao spat bitterly, turned around and left, hurried straight to the palace.
. . . . . . . . . .
Duan Yi entered Pei's house and met Pei Ju. He immediately stated his intention: "Master Pei, you asked me to drug Concubine De at the beginning. Unfortunately, I failed now. What should we do?"
Pei Ju also heard about Xue Baochai being drugged. He had always been curious about who did it, but unexpectedly Duan Yi suddenly came to see him and said these words. He suddenly lost his voice and said: "What, I..." When did I ask you to drug Concubine Xue De?"
Duan Yi's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, "Master Pei, are you planning to burn bridges across the river and draw a clear line with me, Duan Yi? Well, if that's the case, the worst we can do is to die or lose. I will plead guilty to Your Majesty right now." After that, he turned around and was about to go. Walk.
"Eunuch Duan, stay!"
Pei Ju hurriedly stood up and stopped Duan Yi. He forced out a smile and said, "Eunuch Duan, I really don't know about this. I probably didn't ask Eunuch Duan to do this."
Duan Yi thought that Pei Ju was anxious to draw a clear line with himself, and immediately snorted angrily: "Master Pei, do you think you will be safe if you don't explain this matter to our family personally? Pei Xuande is your nephew , you can’t even think of staying out of it!”
"What? Xuande, Xuande asked you to do this?" Pei Ju looked at Duan Yi in horror and said.
Duan Yi snorted coldly, "That's still false. He was the one who personally handed the incense powder to our family that day."
Pei Ju no longer paid attention to Duan Yi, turned his head and shouted outside the hall: "Come here, go find me that bastard Pei Xuande immediately!"
When Duan Yi saw Pei Ju losing his composure, his heart suddenly thumped, and he said tremblingly: "Master Pei, is it possible that Mr. Pei made his own decision in this matter?"
Pei Ju glanced at Duan Yi coldly and shouted sternly: "Come here, catch this thief!"
Several Pei family servants rushed in immediately, pushed Duan Yi to the ground, and quickly tied him up.
Duan Yi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "Master Pei, why are you doing this?"
Pei Ju said coldly: "What are you doing? Of course I'm going to take down you, the evil thief who tried to murder the emperor's heir, for His Majesty!"
Duan Yi roared: "Pei Ju, you are crazy. Even if you tie me up to see His Majesty, you will never be safe!"
Pei Ju looked gloomy and said, "Of course I know this, but if I don't kidnap you to see His Majesty today, I, Pei Ju, will become the mastermind when things happen. Then it will not be me, Pei Ju, but the whole Wenxi Pei Ju that will be unlucky." Shi!"
Duan Yi shouted unwillingly: "Master Pei, as long as you and I keep our mouths shut, who can know? Don't be confused!"
Pei Ju snorted disdainfully: "Duan Yi, you are really an idiot. How can His Majesty be so willing to let go of such a big thing as murdering the emperor's heir? Just rely on an idiot like you to do things. If you don't leave any loopholes, I, Pei Ju, will take your surname from now on." !”
Duan Yi struggled to say something else, but Pei Ju waved his hand impatiently: "Drag this eunuch down with me. When that idiot Pei Xuande comes back, we will tie him up and send him to the palace!"
. . . . . . . . . . .
About a quarter of an hour later, several servants who went out to look for Pei Xuande brought Pei Xuande back. As soon as he entered the lobby, Pei Ju rushed forward angrily and shouted in Pei Xuande's face, "You bastard, you can just die if you want. Why do you have to involve me?"
Pei Xuande was stunned by the slap. It took him a while to recover, and he covered his face and said, "Uncle, why did you hit me?"
"If I hit you, I'll hit you lightly!"
Pei Ju glared at Pei Xuande angrily, "Let me ask you, who gave you the courage to use my name to instruct Duan Yi to drug Concubine Xue De in order to murder the child in her belly?"
"My uncle said that my nephew has accomplished nothing even in his thirties. Doesn't my nephew want to accomplish something big and show it to his uncle?"
Pei Xuande looked at Pei Ju with an aggrieved face and said, "Isn't my uncle also dissatisfied with that lowly warrior Xue Rengui climbing on my uncle's head in the future?"
"You stupid pig!"
Pei Ju was completely angered by this arrogant and ignorant nephew. He grabbed Pei Xuande by the collar and roared: "How can there be a fool like you in our Pei family? I am indeed dissatisfied with Xue Rengui, but I will never be stupid enough. Attack Concubine Xue De. She is very likely to be pregnant with the eldest son of His Majesty. If there is an emergency, His Majesty will not investigate to the end. One day, he will definitely find you. By then, our entire Pei family will be affected by it. You will be buried with your stupidity."
Pei Xuande had lost his mind due to Pei Ju's roar, his mind was blank, and he stood there with a blank expression.
Pei Ju looked at him angrily and said coldly: "Come here, tie him up too, and follow me into the palace with Duan Yi, the eunuch, to plead guilty to Your Majesty!"
"Uncle, don't want it!"
Only then did Pei Xuande react. He rushed forward to protect Pei Ju's thigh and cried, "Uncle, if you send your nephew to the palace, how can your nephew survive?"
"Get away!"
Pei Ju kicked Pei Xuande away mercilessly, pointed at his nose and cursed angrily: "You idiot, why didn't you think about the consequences when you did this? Now that it has happened, only the strong man will cut off his wrist and sacrifice you, idiot." Only by doing this can we protect our Pei family. If His Majesty waits until he finds out about our Pei family, no one will survive!"
Pei Xuande fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Uncle, for the sake of my father, I am the only one left alive, please save my nephew again!"
Pei Ju kicked Pei Xuande again bitterly, and said in annoyance: "It was because my brother unfortunately died in the Jiangdu mutiny, and you were the only one left, that I took good care of you. Unexpectedly, It's because of this that you became unscrupulous, leading to today's disaster. Now that I can't protect myself, how can I save you?"
