Ten days later.
Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Sir, General Ye has sent an invitation. Tomorrow is the birthday of the mistress of the Ye family. I want you to take your wife with you."
Rong Qin lay lazily on a soft chair, holding an ancient book in his hand. After listening to Tu You's report, he turned a page and said, "General Ye misses his daughter so much. It doesn't matter. You know Call Madam and take her back to Ye's house tomorrow."
"Is there any news about Pei Qi?"
Tu You straightened his expression, nodded and said: "The men outside the imperial capital came to report that Jiang Lingfeng took Pei Qi to an inn to heal his injuries. However, after Pei Qi recovered from his injuries, it seems that he did not follow Jiang Lingfeng to Yumian Villa."
Rong Qin nodded understandingly, put down the ancient book in his hand, and raised his chin thoughtfully: "Master Pei is a very kind-hearted person, how could he implicate his friends for many years in order to protect himself? Now she is alone and helpless, and her true self is... Let’s see where she can go.”
What room for struggle does a person at the end of his rope have?
However, since Pei Qi and Jiang Lingfeng have been separated for many days, why has there been no news about her?
Where did she go?
If Pei Qi was really alone, given the abilities of his men, there should not have been any news for so long.
unless……
There was a force behind Pei Qi that he was not aware of, or perhaps she was not far away from the imperial capital at all.
Rong Qin's face turned stern, and he hooked his hand towards Tu You: "The imperial capital will send more people to search the prime minister in every detail. In addition, I will send more people to sneak into Yumian Villa. I want to see what Jiang Lingfeng wants to do. "
"Yes!" Tu You nodded in obedience.
…
At night, there was a faint candlelight shining in General Ye's study. Pei Qi and Jiang Lingfeng were sitting on the soft chairs on both sides, but at this time, Pei Qi was holding Ye Rou's face.
The skin is like gelatin, delicate and soft and can be bullied.
Because he had experienced Rong Qin's methods, General Ye was very surprised that Pei Qi dared to come back to the imperial capital, let alone come to his General Ye's residence.
However, he was not so surprised until he saw Jiang Lingfeng.
"Although you are a woman, you have courage and courage. I, Ye Chong, have rarely admired a person from the bottom of my heart in my whole life, let alone a woman. But today, the Imperial Master, I really admire you." Ye Chong raised his head and raised his head. cup of tea, with both hands in toast.
Pei Qi returned a faint smile and took a polite sip of tea: "Old General Ye, your words are serious. I would like to thank you for your help this time. Only then will this junior have a chance to make a comeback."
"Now that I am no longer the lofty national master, and I have returned to the status of a daughter, why don't you call me Arou so that you can adapt to future relationships in advance and avoid exposing your flaws in front of Rong Qin."
She only has one chance. If she loses this time, she really loses.
"One more thing. After Pei Qi replaces Miss Ye, the old general had better find a place to place Miss Ye. The imperial capital is full of Rong Qin's people. It is difficult not to be discovered. In my opinion, it is best to send her out of the imperial capital. , Find a distant relative to live with first." Jiang Lingfeng shook his folding fan, rarely put away his previous carefree appearance, and said seriously.
Ye Chong stood up and patted Pei Qi on the shoulder: "You can rest assured of this. Ye Rou is my daughter. I hope she escapes from Rong Qin's clutches as soon as possible and will never let anyone know her whereabouts."
Ever since Ye Rou married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Chong has been worried about her safety all the time, and even used his military power to prevent Rong Qin from harming her.
With the military power of General Ye, Rong Qin was able to restrict each other with Pei Qi in the court.
The Ye family is undoubtedly Rong Qin's right-hand man.
"Then General Lao is here for you." Pei Qi nodded and said, "I just have a merciless request from this junior. When the matter is completed, can I borrow General Ye's military power from this junior?"
Ye Chong heard this and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, don't worry, you saved my daughter this time, not to mention military power, even if you take my old life, I will give it with both hands!"
Seeing this, Pei Qi and Jiang Lingfeng looked at each other and smiled, each exchanged a few words with Ye Chong and left.
Ye Chong had already prepared the courtyard for the two of them. Pei Qi walked all the way back, and his feet that had not fully recovered were inevitably a little unsteady, so he sat on the stone chair in his courtyard for a while.
Jiang Lingfeng held a blade of grass in his mouth and leaned on the rockery nearby. He lowered his head and said, "If one day you really defeat Rong Qin, what are you going to do next?"
Pei Qi's gentle movements of his feet paused slightly, his clear eyes slowly raised, and he looked up at the bright moon hanging above his head.
Quiet and peaceful, not stained by dust.
"I plan to...continue my unfinished wish."
"The world is stable?" Jiang Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and snorted with a bit of disdain: "But you know very well that even if you live a poor life, the world will not be stable."
"If people don't move forward without benefit, the world will be doomed to be devastated. Is it worth it to dedicate your life to an impossible goal?"
does it worth?
Even she doesn't know.
Pei Qi's gaze gradually became lost as he looked at the moonlight, and the two people who had been chatting happily fell silent.
On the day the prince succeeded to the throne, she originally thought that the Dasheng Kingdom would have a wise king that she could rest assured of, as she wished, who would benefit the people and ensure peace in the world.
But when Rong Qin was forced into the prison and he used Xiaosi as a threat to force her to sign, she felt that the sky was falling.
Everything that I had worked so hard for was gone in that moment.
There will be a cruel and bloodthirsty king in Dasheng, a minister who seeks power and momentum, and the entire world will be turned into a chessboard for people to play.
But she was powerless to stop it.
She has been trapped in the same place by the yoke of a woman disguising herself as a man and poisoning the king to kill the king, unable to move even half a step.
She also thought about giving up. After all, the world was not filled with rebellious officials and traitors like Rong Qin who were fighting for power. If she died, someone else would always appear.
Until the change of the law field and the appearance of Jiang Lingfeng, she was rescued again.
She thought a lot when she was undergoing treatment at the inn that day.
She can indeed follow Jiang Lingfeng and continue to live. Although it will put Yumian Villa and Rong Qin into a confrontation situation and fight in secret, but if she is here, with her understanding of Rong Qin, Yumian can be saved. A mountain villa is not impossible.
But why did she return to the imperial capital and decide to continue fighting against Rong Qin?
Probably... I feel uneasy.
The country in the hands of the Third Highness will be littered with withered bones and wars will continue. Although Rong Qin is behind the scenes, as long as Rong Qin is not blocked, what will the country be like and what does it have to do with him?
All he wants is rights.
Since the next person with righteous intentions has not yet appeared, before that, she might as well let her do her best to stop this.
until--
Until that person appears who she can trust to deliver.
For a long time, Pei Qi looked at Jiang Lingfeng, his indifferent eyes flashing with determination that could not be ignored, and pretending to be relaxed: "I have been an official in the court for half my life. If I don't fight in the end, how can I be worthy of everything I have lost?"
"Rong Qin, the old thief, must pay some price."
Dasheng Kingdom must not be handed over to a cruel and bloodthirsty king who claims to be the king.
