King Jin stepped forward. Although Su Ting had no expression on his face, his pride leaked out from his seven orifices, making him look like a victorious rooster.
With one hand on the knife at his waist and the other on his hips, he said to the King of Jin with a straight face: "Your Majesty, you worry too much. I don't care about people. I will never be dissatisfied with Your Majesty because of official business. Your Majesty does not need to invite Prime Minister Dong."
Make peace."
Prince Jin nodded gently and said with a smile: "I judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. Su Zhi just doesn't care. If Su Zhi is free, he can go to his house and have a drink."
When Su Ting saw King Jin's jade-like smile, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
At this time, King Jin was like a perfect jade statue. There were gods and evil spirits living in the statue, but with his naked eyes, he could not tell which of the two was smiling at him.
He suddenly became alert, stepped back half a step, lowered his gaze, and did not look into Prince Jin's eyes: "I don't dare to have a drink. I have no enmity with the prince in official matters, and we have no deep friendship in private matters, so I won't bother you any more."
, everyone just does his or her own thing well.”
King Jin stepped forward and patted Su Ting on the shoulder: "Don't be so outspoken. We are all working for His Majesty, so there will naturally be many opportunities for communication."
King Yan watched from a distance, his eyes filled with anxiety. He finally couldn't help but walked back and said with a sneer: "Brother, if you don't leave, why are you talking nonsense to Su Zhi here? Could it be that you drank too much and started talking nonsense?"
King Jin gave him a tolerant look: "To you, my second brother, it's nonsense, but to me, it's certainly not nonsense."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not harmonious, Dong Tongying was afraid that the two brothers would fight in the palace, so she quickly made peace: "It's getting late, and everything that needs to be said has been said. Let's go out of the palace first."
After that, he asked Su Ting to continue his work, while he walked forward with old steps.
King Jin also left, leaving King Yan angry and anxious, neither leaving nor staying. In the end, Yue Zhongtai stepped forward and pulled him away.
As soon as they left, Su Ting was left standing there, wondering why King Jin was here.
Wei Qiao walked back from the darkness, asked the waiter carrying the food box to deliver the shortbread to the two princes' houses, and then returned to Wende Palace from behind.
After informing my superior what I had just seen, I waved him out and walked back and forth in the hall.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth with hatred - it seemed that these two sons were going to have trouble with his commander of the Forbidden Army.
No wonder these two people, who have always been at odds with each other, agreed today to prevent the young general who killed Yelu Qizhen from entering the Forbidden Army.
This young general is currently just serving as a governor at the border, but if he achieves military success again in the future, there is no guarantee that he will not be transferred to the Fourth Army. If he sets his sights further, he may become the commander-in-chief.
Such a commander-in-chief who has no background and no foundation in Beijing must be loyal to himself wholeheartedly. It will be in vain for any force to try to win over him.
Unlike Su Ting, he is also loyal, but that loyalty is no longer as pure as in the past. Now that Su Ting has full wings, it is inevitable that he will have thoughts that he shouldn't have.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he even began to panic, because for no apparent reason, it appeared in his mind that King Jin and King Yan were so eager for success that they committed murder and patricide.
It seemed that Concubine Zhang was asking for an audience outside. She waved her hand and disappeared, resting alone in Wende Hall, wanting to think carefully about how to check and balance the relationship.
After thinking about it, he fell asleep in the fragrance of flowers, and then had a nightmare for no reason.
He dreamed of Queen Pei.
Queen Pei died at his hands, but he killed her with confidence and never felt guilty about it. Naturally, he would not dream about her. But tonight, for some reason, he dreamed about her.
Probably as King Jin grew up, the ghost of Queen Pei also grew stronger, and even dared to come into his dreams.
Queen Pei is a nice person, with a soft appearance and a soft temper. She manages the Sixth Palace very well without saying a harsh word. She is also kind-hearted. Both the palace people and the female family members like her very much.
She was still very young when she died, and that night was probably the most degrading time in her life. She struggled for a long time because she refused to die, and the pain caused her whole body to change.
It hurt until the end, but she still refused to die. She just held on for a breath, as if waiting for the fourth watch to go to the previous officials to complain to her.
But there was nothing he could do. If she didn't die, would she wait for another Queen Mother Pei to appear in the Pei family?
When the court is in turmoil, won't it be the people who suffer?
He really had no choice but to ask Empress Pei to be considerate and put the dying Empress Pei in a coffin for the sake of peace in the world.
Standing outside the coffin, he could still hear tapping, scratching, and moaning sounds coming from inside the coffin.
He always thought that he was right. He was the emperor, so he should have such killing methods. But in his dream, Empress Pei used the momentum of King Jin to suddenly lift the lid of the coffin and crawl out from inside.
Her face was terrifying - her face was purple-red, with black blood dripping from her orifices, there was a deep circle of teeth marks on her lips, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were malicious.
The rancid smell enveloped him and suffocated him.
Her hands were also terrifying. The nails were broken, and even the fingers were twisted, and their flesh and blood stretched out until they reached his neck.
He was afraid, and tried his best to defend himself in his dream: "The only thing to blame is that you are the Pei family! If I want the country to be stable forever, I cannot allow my relatives to cause trouble. If you don't die, how can the Pei family give up!"
However, Queen Pei was very well-behaved during her lifetime, but she was unreasonable after her death. She chased him to death in her dream. After chasing him, he had no way to escape, so he lost his footing and fell from the high platform.
Imagami opened his eyes suddenly, his heart beating wildly in his chest, cold sweat bursting from his back, and he looked around blankly - the surroundings were dark, and he couldn't tell what time it was.
Although he couldn't tell the time, he could tell that he just had a nightmare and Queen Pei did not appear.
His heart dropped a little, but he still didn't dare to act rashly. He was very afraid that Queen Pei would hide in some corner, ready to chase and intercept him at any time: "Wei Qiao!"
Wei Qiao was sleeping outside. When he heard the noise, he got up from the ground and walked in softly: "Your Majesty."
"Light the lamp." When Jinshang heard Wei Qiao's voice, his heart slowly calmed down and he lay back.
Wei Qiao lit the candlesticks in the inner room and put on the lampshades, and then heard the command from his superior: "Light all the lamps!"
Wei Qiao didn't know why, but he still obeyed the order and lit all the candlesticks in the dormitory. For a while, the candlelight in the room was bright and bright.
He stepped forward, opened the curtain, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you not feeling well? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"
When he opened the curtain, he found that Jin Shang's eyes were wide open and he looked very panicked.
Jin glanced at him, then waved his hand: "No need."
Wei Qiao stood aside without knowing why.
Today, in the bright candlelight, my heart is falling into the abyss - Li Shouming, King of Jin, will he already know the cause of Queen Pei's death?
If the King of Jin knows about it, does the Pei family also know about it?
