BXBX NOVEL Chapter 436: Urgent
The commander of the internal guards, Mrs. Sun, burst into anger when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "I am waiting for His Majesty's oral order!"
Pei Yi looked disdainful, and said sarcastically: "That is to say that there is no evidence? Today, you said that you obeyed the oral order, and you just swaggered to the third prince's mansion to make a fool of yourself. Tomorrow, will there still be a team of people?" Said that he was ordered to make a big disturbance in the Third Prince's Mansion?"
A group of inner guards secretly scolded the third son of the Pei family, how could he be so shameless? With the facts clearly in front of his eyes, this third son Pei was able to open his eyes and talk nonsense, and he was so confident. I'm so **** off!
"Lord Pei, please don't mess around." Commander Sun glared at the poor boy of the Pei family angrily, and said in a reckless voice, "Can you afford to delay His Majesty's arrangement?!"
Pei Yi remained motionless, and said with a smile: "May I ask what His Majesty's arrangement is?"
The more Commander Sun looked at the Pei family dude, the more he felt displeased, and he explained angrily: "Your Majesty does not have the turn of Mr. Pei to intervene!"
Pei Yi nodded, and said with a half-smile: "Okay, I understand. You people are relying on His Majesty's power to obey the Yin. In this case, I, Pei, must go to the palace today to ask His Majesty face to face. "
Commander Sun smoked from the seven orifices, secretly thinking how could the third son Pei be so unreasonable? Open mouth is nonsense! It's so annoying!
"Your Highness, let's go into the palace!" Pei Yi grabbed Huo Yuan's wrist as she spoke, and walked out of the palace resolutely.
Huo Yuan looked down at the plain hand holding his wrist, then raised his head to look at Pei Jiasanlang who stood in front of him, a warmth and sourness welled up in his heart, causing his eyes to twitch slightly. moisture.
"Stop!" Commander Sun blocked Pei Yi with a horizontal knife.
Pei Yi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Xun Huan and Xiao Junji immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths to protect Pei Yi's sides.
A group of internal guards also pointed their knives at Pei Yi and his party at the same time.
In an instant, the buzzing sound of the tip of the knife impacted everyone's eardrums, and everyone entered a state of extreme alert.
Pei Yi smiled leisurely, and took a step forward.
Her stride just reached the blade.
Commander Sun was taken aback, and quickly took a step back, for fear of accidentally hurting the young son of the prime minister's family.
As soon as he retreated, all the inner guards following him had to take a step back.
Everyone stared at Pei Yi angrily, cursing in their hearts: Everyone said that those who are arrogant are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stupefied are afraid of dying, but the third son of the Pei family is so arrogant, stunned and desperate, what should they do? Could it be that they could really kill the third son Pei? If you really want to do this, Prime Minister Pei will destroy them all tomorrow, and the grass on their graves will be several feet high at this time in the coming year.
Pei Yi looked proud, she took Huo Yuan's wrist and took a step forward.
The inner guards did not dare to attack her, so they could only back away.
Commander Sun saw that this was not an option, so he raised his knife and slashed at Huo Yuan behind Pei Yi.
Pei Yi immediately turned around to face Commander Sun, and directly protected Huo Yuan behind her.
She didn't say a word, just stared at each other coldly with a pair of eyes.
In this silent confrontation, Commander Sun only felt a sense of coldness piercing through the flesh. After a few seconds of staring at Pei Yi, he was the first to be defeated, and retracted his knife resentfully.
Pei Yi glanced at the inner guards coldly, and said coldly: "Pei eats the emperor's salary and obeys the emperor's order. Today, you dare to kill the emperor's heir just based on a so-called oral order, how can Pei tolerate you like this? If you really behaved rightly and sat upright, then you should generously **** Pei and His Highness into the palace to seek proof, otherwise, wouldn’t you be guilty of guilt and punishable?”
Commander Sun secretly scolded this scholar for being difficult to deal with, and that mouth is really annoying-you know that what he said is a lot of fallacies, but you still can't argue.
Commander Sun felt that if he was a vulgar person, he would have a brain hole if he compared his eloquence with this sour literati!
He raised the knife from the side and approached Huo Yuan a little more, and said coldly: "Your Majesty has an order, I dare not disrespect it! I also ask Mr. Pei to leave quickly and don't meddle in other people's business!"
Huo Yuan's face was cold, and he immediately stepped back half a step, and the point of the knife came to his face.
Pei Yi was shocked, pulled Huo Yuan behind her, glared at Commander Sun angrily and said in a cold voice: "Anyone who dares to touch the third prince today will step on me, Pei Yi first!"
Huo Yuan was stunned, he looked down at the woman standing in front of him, feeling warm in his heart. He suddenly felt that where the Sanskrit was present, he felt extremely safe, and he no longer panicked or was afraid.
Commander Sun choked in panic, staring at Pei Yi, not knowing what to do. When other officials saw their inner guards, they had long since fainted. Who would be as arrogant and tough as the third son of the Pei family? But they still don't care what to do with Mr. Pei!
All the inner guards were also very troubled, and each of them held a knife and didn't know how to do it.
Pei Yi looked at these people coldly, and said expressionlessly: "If I, Pei, cannot enter the palace today, tomorrow I will definitely tell everyone in the capital about the murder of the emperor's heir, so that all the gentlemen can take a look. The inner guard is so powerful - he can kill anyone he wants, even the emperor's heir can do whatever he wants!"
Commander Sun paled in horror.
His Majesty originally wanted them to deal with the third prince secretly and quickly. If the third son Pei made this matter a big deal, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage?
Your Majesty is the person with the best face. If such things spread widely, His Majesty must be very angry.
At that time, a group of inner guards will be punished lightly, and they may lose their lives!
The lesser of two evils, Commander Sun could only sternly step aside—although he didn't say that he would allow Pei Yi to bring the third prince into the palace, but this behavior clearly showed his attitude.
Pei Yi held Huo Yuan's wrist tightly, and walked steadily outside the mansion step by step.
She ordered loudly: "Where are the servants of the palace? Prepare a carriage for His Highness immediately!"
Everyone in the palace had been frightened for a long time, but seeing Mr. Pei being so majestic and calm, they gradually calmed down, and their hearts stabilized unconsciously.
Soon, several servants were waiting at the gate of the palace with a carriage.
Pei Yi helped Huo Yuan get into the carriage first, and then she stepped on the horse and got into the carriage.
Xun Huan and Xiao Junji were concerned about Pei Yi's safety, and quickly followed behind into the carriage.
Commander Sun and other internal guards also quickly followed out of the palace, and immediately got on their horses and followed closely behind.
The internal guards were really depressed. Obviously, their affairs went smoothly. Who would have thought that a third son Pei would be killed halfway?
"Hey, have you seen the two gentlemen beside Mr. Pei—the clothes are disheveled, I'm afraid they just got up from the bed."
"Did Mr. Pei rush over from the bed overnight with two lovers?"
The inner guards smiled ambiguously and did not continue talking.
Another compartment.
The originally quiet prime minister's mansion became a little restless.
Eunuch Liang Liude, the personal **** of the third prince, visited late at night, and tearfully begged Prime Minister Pei for help.
Prime Minister Pei Shu looked majestic, and said in an official tone: "Eunuch Liang is shocked and tired tonight, let's go down and rest first. This matter needs to be carefully discussed."
After saying that, Pei Shu directly made a gesture, and immediately a servant came into the house to ask Liang Liude to go to the wing to rest, with the intention of not giving Liang Liude any chance to ask for help.
Mrs. Pei came out from behind the marble screen and sighed: "Your Majesty has become more and more suspicious recently. It is really pitiful to be his prince."
Pei Shu turned around and walked to the bedroom, saying in a deep voice, "What do we have to discuss about other people's family affairs?"
Mrs. Pei followed her husband, and said with some surprise and understanding: "You won't enter the palace tonight to intercede for the third prince?"
Pei Shu put his hands behind his back, and jokingly said: "The Sanskrit man, of course Sanskrit will save him himself."
Mrs. Pei was silent.
Her husband is not going to help the third prince.
Actually, there is nothing surprising about this.
During the last palace change, his husband actually didn't take the life and death of the third prince seriously.
At that time, if it wasn’t for the consideration that the daughter would like the third prince, I’m afraid that the husband would deliberately enter the palace later, so that the group of rebels could kill the third prince, the emperor and others.
But…
"Fanyin loves the third prince, and he went straight to the third prince's mansion tonight." Mrs. Pei said worriedly, "If you, the father, don't take action, Fanyin will be in danger."
"Don't worry, the inner guards don't dare to touch my 'son' of Pei Shu." Pei Shu said with a smile, "Besides, the third prince is not the only one Fanyin likes, so he doesn't have to hang himself on this crooked neck tree."
Mrs. Pei's complexion changed slightly, and she asked cautiously: "Which son-in-law are you looking for?" Abandoning the third prince so cleanly clearly means that she has found a more satisfactory son-in-law.
Pei Shu opened the door and entered the bedroom, Pi Liyang Qiu smiled and said: "The Xiao family is a good son, you can observe more."
Mrs. Pei felt a little proud when she heard that she was a person she had cultivated.
Now, she felt relieved.
Even if the third prince is killed by the inner guard tonight, the girl will not be too sad, anyway, Xiao Junji is by her side.
If it wasn't for worrying about the daughter's preferences, as far as the Pei family's own choice was concerned, it would be better for the third prince to die.
In this way, the Huo family has no adult princes, and in the future, one of the two child princes must be chosen to inherit the throne-how convenient for her husband to control.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
In the dark night, an expensive but not extravagant carriage quickly arrived at the palace.
It was already late at night, and the palace gate was locked.
But the inner guard has the privilege of entering the palace, so he directly called to open the palace door.
A group of people entered through the north gate, and soon arrived at the place where the old emperor now sleeps—White Lotus Palace.
The old emperor learned that he had been raped tonight, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep at all. Now that he heard that Pei's family broke into the palace gate late at night, he became even more angry, and immediately said sharply: "Let him in!"
Gu Changze's face was slightly smirking, and he secretly thought that Pei Sanlang was really looking for death. It's not good when to come to His Majesty, but he should come when His Majesty is in the worst mood.
Pei Yi dragged Huo Yuan into the bedroom quickly.
The two of them could only wait in the outer hall.
The old emperor walked from the inner hall to the outer hall with great strides, and when he saw Huo Yuan was there, his face was as black as coal.
He grabbed a cup at hand and threw it over viciously, cursing sharply: "Nizi!"
Pei Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and immediately pulled Huo Yuan to dodge.
The teacup passed by Huo Yuan's nose, and flew to the door before falling to the ground, and fell to pieces with a snap.
The old emperor was even more angry, he slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Huo Yuan from afar and cursed: "Nizi, how dare you hide!"
Huo Yuan actually didn't intend to hide, if Pei Yi hadn't pulled him, his face would have been bleeding.
Although he has always said on the surface that he doesn't care about the father, but in his heart he has always longed for the father to recognize him.
But now seeing that his father was going to hold him accountable indiscriminately, Huo Yuan felt as if his heart had been thrown into an ice cellar, it was terribly cold.
He realized how naive he was.
He should have woken up a long time ago, but he still foolishly had illusions about such a father.
Huo Yuan thought of the contempt and cruelty of the inner guard to him tonight, and the grief and indignation in his chest surged, which made his internal organs ache.
He has never minded playing a submissive and incompetent prince in front of the old emperor, but now he couldn't bear it and said: "I dare not take the word 'rebellious son'! Dare I ask what I did wrong? It actually allowed the emperor to order the inner guards to enter the mansion overnight to strangle him!"
When the word "strangle" was spoken, Huo Yuan could only feel that every word was crying blood, and his voice was breaking with this so-called father.
However, the old emperor didn't feel the despair in his son's tone at all, and maybe he didn't care if he felt it.
He was so angry that one Buddha came out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. His old face was flushed with anger, as if he was drunk.
Kicking the few cases before turning over, he strode towards Huo Yuan, and said angrily: "You still have the face to ask me?! Don't you know what you did yourself?! Sinister!"
After finishing the last word, the old emperor just walked up to Huo Yuan, raised his hand and slapped him.
However, just when this slap was about to fall on Huo Yuan's face, the old emperor's wrist was firmly controlled by a bare hand.
Huo Yuan was stunned, staring at the withered old hand that suddenly stopped in front of his eyes, his eyes couldn't help falling on the slender hand holding the old hand's wrist, and then his gaze followed the plain hand to Pei Yi. face.
From Pei Yi forcibly protecting him into the palace against the threat of the inner guards, to now that Pei Yi has blocked the emperor's punishment for him one after another, Huo Yuan was shocked again and again, and moved again and again.
The inner guards are vicious and vicious, and no one in Beijing dares to provoke them.
But Pei Yi dared to confront the inner guard for him.
No one dares to provoke the king of a country in his rage.
But Pei Yi dared to stop the emperor for him.
Suddenly there was a sour feeling in Huo Yuan's throat, and he froze in place because of the turbulent emotions, so that he didn't react for a moment.
The old emperor was also inexplicably shocked.
How dare you stop him!
He wanted to teach his own son a lesson, but someone dared to stop him!
The old emperor glared angrily at Pei Jiasanlang who was holding his wrist, and Thunder said angrily, "Presumptuous!"
Pei Yi took advantage of the situation and pushed forward slightly, directly pushing the old emperor back half a step.
She stepped forward to stand beside Huo Yuan, and said righteously: "It's a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Your Majesty wants to punish His Highness's crimes without asking why, and I have no choice but to stop it. If your majesty wants to punish the humble minister because of this Sin, even if this humble minister crashes to death on the main hall now, His Majesty will have to wake up!"
Gu Changze had been hiding in the inner hall to eavesdrop on the conversation between the old emperor and Pei Yi and others. Seeing that the situation was "good", he immediately walked out of the inner hall, and said with an angry expression on his face, "Lord Pei is so courageous!" , are you threatening His Majesty?!"
Gu Changze supported the old emperor as he spoke—it seemed that he was planning for the old emperor wholeheartedly, like a stupid and sincere person who clearly didn't understand government affairs but couldn't help standing up for the old emperor.
Huo Yuan shielded Pei Yi behind him, and scolded sadly and contemptuously: "How can you yell at a court hero?! The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Even if concubines know that the emperor is discussing politics, they can't be present. You Is a man worse than a woman—or are you just trying to take this opportunity to mess with me?!"
The old emperor felt a burst of anger rushing to the top of his head, forcing his eyes to turn black.
He let Gu Changze support him by his side, raised his finger and pointed at Huo Yuan, his voice was trembling with anger: "You..." This wicked person dares to act presumptuously in front of me! How could the person next to me be humiliated by you? !
However, there was no time to say the following words. The old emperor only said "you" before his eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Your Majesty!" Gu Changze screamed, and immediately wanted to support the old man who had fallen backwards.
Huo Yuan's face changed drastically, he rushed up to support the old emperor, glared at Gu Changze angrily and said, "Get out!"
Gu Changze looked so angry that his hands were shaking, he said in a haunted voice: "How dare you... murder His Majesty... Aww!!"
Pei Yi stepped forward and kicked Gu Changze's heart, sending the man flying two meters away.
She said sullenly: "You just shout, I don't mind Fan Yan's direct remonstrance—for Your Majesty, you will clean up the face of you who confused the emperor's heart!"
Gu Changze covered his aching chest, a fishy sweetness rushed to his throat, and he wanted to speak, but he only felt a bone-shattering pain.
This **** Pei Sanlang is really too ruthless, really hateful!
Gu Changze was thinking like this, but he saw Pei Yi strode up to him, then directly tied him with an iron whip, and then stuffed a ball of handkerchief into his mouth.
"Mmmmmmm!"
Gu Changze was so angry that he wanted to speak out, but he couldn't speak because there was something in his mouth.
The veil was a big ball, pressing down on his tongue and filling his entire mouth, it was impossible for him to push out the veil with his tongue.
Pei Yi finished cooking for Gu Changze, then turned around and walked over with Huo Yuan to carry the old emperor onto the bed in the inner hall.
"It is not appropriate to invite the imperial physician now, I can only see His Majesty in person." Pei Yi quickly explained calmly.
Huo Yuan naturally understood Pei Yi's considerations.
Not long after they entered the palace, the old emperor fell directly. If the imperial physician was called to the scene at this moment, everyone would chatter, and they might be charged with murdering the emperor.
But, is Saburo's medical skills good?
As soon as this question came to his lips, Huo Yuan himself came to his senses: Sanskrit obviously does not do things that he is not sure of. Although Sanskrit said earlier that his medical skills are not good, it is obviously just an excuse.
Huo Yuan's mood suddenly became very delicate.
He stared obsessively at Pei Jiasaburo in front of him, and felt that his sweetheart was like a mystery, and the more he understood, the more surprising he would be.
Pei Yi worked for a while, her brows became more and more wrinkled.
Seeing something wrong, Huo Yuan asked in a low voice: "But what's the problem?"
Pei Yi's face was gloomy.
If it is a normal faint, she can easily wake people up.
But the situation of the old emperor today is obviously not the usual dizziness.
She stood up from the bed, walked quickly to the outer hall with a sullen expression.
Gu Changze only felt as if a gust of wind swept over him from behind, and then he felt a sharp pain in his back, and his whole body was kicked directly from the back and fell to the ground, falling like a dog eating shit.
"Well…"
By the way, he had a veil stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't even breathe out the pain.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Pei Yi standing in front of him, looking down at him. The man asked him coldly: "Where is the elixir that His Majesty usually takes?"
Gu Changze's complexion changed, and then he shook his head desperately to express that he didn't know.
Pei Yi smiled and said: "Gu Langjun, I gave you a chance."
Gu Changze inexplicably felt a chill go down his back, and he wanted to put on a show again, but Pei Yi turned around and went into the inner hall, ignoring him.
Huo Yuan heard these movements clearly in the inner hall, and when he saw Pei Yi came back, he asked in a low voice: "Is my father taking pills?"
Almost none of the emperors in the past dynasties was not interested in pills, and all of them yearned for longevity.
It's just that, after a little reading of the history books, it turns out that pills have never had the effect of making people live longer - on the contrary, they may make people live shorter.
Pei Yi administered needles to the old emperor, and said calmly: "I was just inferring at first, but seeing Gu Changze's guilty conscience, His Majesty has nothing to do with taking the elixir."
Huo Yuan's heart sank, he silently watched from the sidelines and stopped asking questions.
After finishing the injection, Pei Yi said: "Your Highness, you can stay in the outer hall, it is enough for me to guard here."
Huo Yuan immediately pressed Pei Yi's hand, and said earnestly: "I'm here with you." I will never leave you here alone to deal with this unpredictable cold-hearted emperor.
Pei Yi explained solemnly: "Your Highness, His Majesty must be angry when he sees me now, and he will be even more angry when he sees you again. If we sit here together, Your Majesty's anger will be doubled, and he may just wake up." And passed out again."
The corner of Huo Yuan's mouth twitched.
Well, the explanation was so strong that he couldn't refute it.
But I always feel like I've been shot by an arrow in my chest, why?
Huo Yuan withdrew his hand, got up silently and walked to the outer hall.
Gu Changze couldn't get up after lying on the ground because his hands and feet were bound, so he was still lying on the ground in the state of a dog eating **** at this moment, looking really embarrassed.
Now when he heard footsteps behind him, he moved his body desperately, for fear that Pei Yi would kick him again when he came.
Seeing him struggling on the ground like a maggot, Huo Yuan immediately felt relieved and disgusted.
In the inner sanctum.
After about half an hour, the old emperor finally woke up slowly.
He opened his cloudy eyes and looked around slowly, only to see Pei Yi at a glance.
