When she woke up the next morning, Rong Qin, who was lying next to Pei Qi, had left at some point. She sat up in a daze, and everything that happened last night was still vivid in her mind.
Pei Qi shook his head vigorously, forcing Rong Qin out of his mind, and turned to thinking about last night's banquet.
Jiang Fengchuan said that there will be a palace banquet the day after tomorrow.
Apparently, it was time for Rong Qin to take action.
He dares to call himself me, so I am afraid he has been fully prepared for it.
I don’t know what’s going on with Duan Qianjun, or whether he has convinced Lieutenant Cui. It should be difficult with just that one finger.
Pei Qi opened the door while thinking about it. Xi Qing was still indulging in the medicinal materials, while Xiaosi sat aside, counting ants in boredom.
Everything was in a quiet and peaceful state, but behind the scenes, there was an undercurrent surging.
…
Two days later.
Rong Qin wore court clothes and left the Prime Minister's Mansion early.
Also taken away were many secret guards in the mansion. Of course, Qingxinyuan was still heavily guarded because Xiaosi was there.
Pei Qi sat on the soft chair, lazily admiring Xi Qing's sweating profusely.
Xiao Si was shaking a round fan beside her, making her extremely comfortable. As soon as she sat there, it was evening.
It's late at night, and the sound of wind is everywhere.
Tonight, the Prime Minister's Mansion was quieter than usual, even quiet to the point of being a little eerie.
Xi Qing looked at the sky and sighed: "It's getting late..."
Hearing this, Pei Qi raised his eyebrows at him: "What are you mumbling to yourself? When is it getting late?"
Obviously, Xi Qing didn't want Pei Qi to know anything, so he shrugged and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, it's getting late for bed, you should go in and rest."
"Huh?" Pei Qi made a sound of confusion and looked up at the sky in confusion: "But it's just Xu hour now, so it's not the time to sleep."
Xi Qing belongs to Rong Qin, so he naturally knows what Rong Qin is doing at this time, so he said what he just said.
So if Pei Qi doesn't understand, he naturally understands.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the affairs of the palace will not affect the chancellor's residence.
Just when Xi Qing relaxed, he felt a sudden strong wind behind him, accompanied by Pei Qi's exclamation.
"Xi Qing, be careful behind you!"
Before Xi Qing had time to turn around, there was another sound of weapons clashing and clanging behind him.
When he turned his head and took a clear look at the situation behind him, he saw a group of secret guards left by Rong Qin fighting with a man in black whom he had never met before. The man's martial arts was not weak, and he could deal with these secret guards with ease.
Pei Qi felt happy.
finally come.
After confirming Xiao Si's position, the man in black rushed towards Xiao Si like a sharp arrow.
Pei Qi also glanced at Xiaosi in time. Xiaosi remembered what Pei Qi had said to him not long ago, so he cooperated very well and was "hijacked" by the man in black, hanging in his armpit and struggling wildly.
"Help! Brother Xi Qing, help me!"
Noticing who the kidnapped person was, the group of secret guards panicked as expected and focused all their attention on the man in black who had kidnapped Xiao Si.
The leading secret guard had a cold face and whispered to the subordinates behind him: "Chase me, what happened to that child? None of us will survive!"
Seeing the secret guards chasing the man in black, Xi Qing couldn't help but look solemn and murmured: "Could it be the little national master's people?"
"No, they are from Jade Face Villa."
As soon as Xi Qing finished speaking, a figure in white clothes with fluttering sleeves appeared on the eaves not far away, and he answered Xi Qing's doubts very "kindly".
At this time, most of the secret guards went after the man in black, and only a few of them stayed here to protect Pei Qi and Xi Qing. Jiang Lingfeng eliminated those few secret guards in a few seconds. , then ducked behind Xi Qing and chuckled: "Good night, great doctor Xi."
Before Xi Qing could react, he only felt the palm of the man behind him hit him on the back of the neck, and then a burst of darkness hit him, causing him to fall down heavily.
Seeing that there was no one around, Pei Qi boldly walked up, kicked the fallen Xi Qing, and asked Jiang Lingfeng, "Are you right? This guy won't wake up after we leave, right?" ?”
Jiang Lingfeng snorted disdainfully: "Don't worry, he won't wake up before I send you back."
"Here, Su Yushi's mask."
Jiang Lingfeng took out something soft from his arms and threw it to Pei Qi. He then picked her up and took her away from the Prime Minister's Mansion in a few flying steps.
As for the destination, it was naturally the long-planned palace feast.
As Jiang Lingfeng hurried on, he said to Pei Qi: "I have something to remind you in advance. Since the death of his father, Yushi Su has lived in seclusion, so he has not encountered Rong Qin's murderous hands. How many people does he have in the court now?" I can’t estimate the weight.”
"Although you took the risk to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is still unknown how many words you can say in front of Rong Qin if you pretend to be Su Yushi."
Pei Qi lowered his eyes and unconsciously clenched the gold medal arrow in his arms.
The weight?
In the majestic court, the ministers are panicking. Now that man is about to cover the sky with one hand, who has any weight?
All those who stand up are important.
She, Pei Qi, is the weight.
This gold medal command arrow also has weight.
Pei Qi tightened his clothes on his chest and moved his lips: "Tonight is destined to be a tough battle."
"Jiang Lingfeng, do you still remember the last battle I fought with Rong Qin?"
Jiang Lingfeng paused for a moment, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift to the court incident a few years ago.
At that time, Rong Qin regarded the prince as a thorn in his side. He accidentally discovered the prince's background and forced his father to depose him.
At that time, Rong Qin was in power. Even if his actions were too absurd, no one dared to refute him except Pei Qi.
"At that time, in order to protect the crown prince, I promised alone in front of the late emperor that I would put my life on the line to sort out all the prince's mess within three days, but I was laughed at by the officials."
Recalling the scene that day, Pei Qi's lips showed an instinctive bitter smile: "At that time, you were traveling around the world. Except for the Pei family and a few petty officials, there was no one else behind me, but I still managed to save the crown prince in the end."
"Jiang Lingfeng, I have never been afraid of Rong Qin's power. That was the case then and it is still the case now."
"He wants to stir up chaos in Dasheng. He always wants to ask me if I agree."
While the two were talking, Jiang Lingfeng had already landed in the alley near the palace gate. There was a carriage there, which Jiang Lingfeng had prepared in advance.
He pushed Pei Qi into the car and sighed helplessly: "Stubborn."
"Put the court clothes in the car. I'll hold the door for you outside. Once you've changed, we'll enter the palace."
