With just one sentence, Emperor Yanning believed what Pei Pingqiu said.
Under the guise of inspection, Ning Lichen actually changed the wine cup and enriched himself!
Yao'er naturally didn't know about such things.
But who would have thought that during this palace banquet, Yao'er wanted to teach Lan'er a lesson, but she accidentally hit it and was discovered by herself!
Emperor Yan Ning knew very well that Ning Keyao deliberately frightened Ning Yilan that day, but he was not angry.
These two daughters, no matter what methods or means they use, as long as they can get the approval of the Beiqi envoy, they...
Just accept it!
Ning Yilan was frightened and lost her temper. That was because her skills were inferior to others!
At this time, Ning Lichen was shocked when he heard Emperor Yan Ning's question.
Yes!
From beginning to end, my father only talked about Pei Mansion, but never mentioned Pei Pingqiu!
For a long time, he pretended to be calm and said: "When my father mentioned the Pei Mansion, my sons and ministers naturally thought it was Pei Pingqiu."
Ning Lichen was sweating all over, and his hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched.
What did Pei Pingqiu do?
How could he see his father!
Pei Pingqiu always carries this account book with him!
Ning Lichen was right. Pei Pingqiu would put this book under his pillow even when sleeping.
But at this moment, Lin He, the general manager of the palace gate, suddenly asked for a meeting.
"Lin He, do you know why it is a crime to disturb the morning court?" Emperor Yan Ning said displeased.
Lin He knelt down and said urgently: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Something happened unexpectedly, and I have to do this because of my humble position..."
"What happened?" Emperor Yan Ning asked.
"Something happened in Yanjing Pavilion! The two adults of Beiqi were assassinated!"
"What?" Ning Lichen, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up and looked at Lin He in disbelief.
He was fully responsible for Yanjing Pavilion. He checked inside and outside three times. Not even a fly could fly in. How could an assassin get in?
Emperor Yan Ning stood up from the dragon chair and asked, "How about Jiang Xian and Han Rui?"
Lin He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, fortunately he was not injured!"
Emperor Yan Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
But he looked directly at Ning Lichen!
Ning Lichen was even more confused!
How could he have thought that someone would dare to assassinate the envoy of Beiqi!
What's more...it's not necessary!
Why kill them two?
To drive a wedge between Yan Ning and Bei Qi?
After all...it can't be an assassin sent by Da Xu from all the way, right? !
It is said that Emperor Xu worshiped the Buddha every day and only asked Beiqi not to attack them. How could he dare to take the initiative to cause trouble?
And the entire Da Ming only listened to the orders of one person, Ye Qian Shen!
There will be no one in Yan Ning to assassinate him!
"Where are the guards at Yanjing Pavilion? What did the secret guards sent by this palace do? How did the assassin get in?" Ning Lichen asked anxiously, wanting to shoot all those guards to death.
"Back to Your Highness..." Lin He said bravely: "It is reported that there were at least twenty assassins who broke into the Yanjing Pavilion..."
"What?" Ning Lichen was stunned for a moment, and even thought he heard wrongly.
There were over a hundred guards at the Yanjing Pavilion, and there were only ten of his own royal secret guards. If he wasn't an expert in martial arts, it would have been impossible to get in.
But he never imagined that there would be someone, in broad daylight...
Breaking in? !
In the bright world, forcefully break into Yanjing Pavilion? !
Was he here to kill someone because he was afraid that others would not know that he was an assassin?
Everyone looked at each other with surprise and confusion.
The Yanjing Pavilion is so big that the guards cannot be too dense. This is normal. After all, no one would have thought that twenty assassins would come at the same time!
Such an assassination is truly unheard of and unseen!
It's hard for His Royal Highness.
"Those assassins were so numerous that they opened a gap in just a moment and broke into the Yanjing Pavilion, but..."
Halfway through the words, Lin Heli looked embarrassed and didn't know how to continue.
"But what, tell me quickly!" Ning Lichen said urgently.
"But there was a stalemate with General Han. It was not until His Highness's secret guards arrived that the assassins quickly evacuated..."
After hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The assassin forced his way in, and the nearest guard rushed over. There were dozens of them at least, but he was still breached, but...
Han Rui can stop these assassins on his own! This is…
How terrible!
As expected, Emperor Yan Ning's face became darker again!
The envoy of Beiqi was in his territory of Yanning, and the officers and soldiers of Yanning surrounded him on three levels inside and three outside, but in the end, they still had to protect themselves!
Isn't this a joke!
Ning Lichen was speechless and didn't know how to react.
He is unjust!
Assassination, assassination, naturally in the dead of night, sneaky!
But with so many people brazenly trying to break in, how could he guard against it?
You can't put ten secret guards every three meters!
But at this moment, Emperor Yan Ning's cold voice sounded.
"So, not a single assassin was caught?"
Lin He gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, it's...exactly like that."
With a 'pop' sound, Emperor Yan Ning slapped the dragon case with his palm, obviously furious.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Prince, what should I do?" Emperor Yan Ning stared at Ning Lichen with his eyes so gloomy that he almost shed tears.
"Father, son and minister... son and minister..." Ning Lichen wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how.
Regarding the Pei Mansion, the evidence was conclusive, and he could not defend himself.
He didn't know how to explain the assassin thing.
Seeing Emperor Yan Ning's extremely angry look, Ning Lichen had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "It was my lack of consideration that gave the assassin an opportunity to take advantage of. I know my crime, please punish me!"
Emperor Yan Ning lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Lichen who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Put everything on hold on your hands and leave it all to Yu'er!"
Ning Lichen raised his head and was shocked! The hands in his sleeves were clenched and loosened, but he could only say: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness."
Just leave all matters to Ning Yu, wouldn't it...
Are you making him a prince?
And the Yanjing Pavilion is also handed over to Ning Yu, so Ning Yu can openly see Jiang Xian and Han Rui. If he interferes...
Thinking like this, Ning Lichen couldn't go up or down in one breath, and he was almost mad to death.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Jinxia came back, she had a lot of food in her hands!
"Miss, try this!" Jin Xia placed the Luoye chicken in front of Su Qingmo and said, "Emperor Yan Ning has ordered that only three legitimate sons will be left in the Pei family, and the rest will be executed!"
Su Qingmo had no expression after hearing this, as if she had expected it.
That year, just three days after she fell downhill, Su Yuanhe falsely accused the Shen Mansion of using inferior goods to deceive the royal family.
She knows clearly whether the Shen family has passed off inferior products or not!
In the past, her grandfather often told her that she should not be greedy, capricious, or treacherous. The Shen family was indeed very rich, but it had only gained reputation over the years! The Shen Mansion will never do this if it is done indiscriminately.
My grandfather had a strong character and an upright life. He would never gamble with the lives of the Shen family.
At that time, Emperor Yan Ning did not immediately believe Su Yuanhe, but asked Prince Ning Lichen to investigate.
The queen had been favored by the Shen Mansion and asked the prince to investigate. Ning Lichen would definitely give justice to the Shen Mansion.
Su Qingmo narrowed her eyes, her whole body was as cold as deep winter.
Can...
But at that time, Pei Pingqiu suddenly approached Ning Lichen!
And then...
Then in the face of interests, Ning Lichen chose to cooperate with Pei Pingqiu without hesitation!
The two reached an agreement. Ning Lichen would help the Pei family become imperial merchants, and 60% of the profits from the Pei family would be sent to the Prince's Mansion!
Then, Ning Lichen presented an account book to the morning court!
An account book that put everyone in the Shen family to death!
And this fake account book came from the Pei Mansion!
Pei Pingqiu found someone to forge it, and the prince personally presented it to the Shen family...
Kill the whole family!
Su Qingmo slowly raised her eyes, and the hatred in her eyes was mottled, as if she was about to swallow him whole.
Ning Lichen, you used fake account books to destroy the Shen Mansion. Today, Pei Pingqiu used the real account books to harm you. This is the law of heaven and retribution!
But don’t worry, the hatred between you and me is not limited to the Shen family!
As for Pei Mansion...
To enjoy the glory and wealth while stepping on the blood of her grandfather's family, there must be a price to pay!
And Pei Pingqiu, the old fox, is missing a move after all!
Su Qingmo sneered.
"Pei Pingqiu, there is one more thing that you may not have thought of..."
