618. Chapter 618 Let the king of the North Court return to power
Due to excessive exertion, he suddenly fell down again, breathing heavily.
When Pei Shinian saw his wife and daughter looking like this, he sat down on the chair, slapped his hand on the table, and said angrily——
"Nan Shuang was murdered!"
"What?" After hearing this, Mrs. Pei immediately wiped the tears on her face and said, "Who was the victim?"
Pei Shinian then told the story about the dried blood.
After hearing this, Mrs. Pei's face was full of anger and she said, "So Nan Shuang was harmed by this princess of Zhou Dynasty! Master, you are a veteran of three dynasties and a national warrior.
How could we let that witch bully our daughter for nothing? You must find a way to seek justice for Nan Shuang."
Pei Shinian sighed and said, "What can be done? There was no evidence at that time, and it was obvious that the prince would favor the witch."
Pei Shinian was upright by nature, and because he had been a military general all his life, he was not that calculating. Mrs. Pei was different. Her biological father was a civil servant, and she had been exposed to official affairs since she was a child. She was good at calculation and foresight.
After listening to Pei Shinian's words, she said coldly, "Is it true that tomorrow I will go to the Beiyuan Prince's Palace to plead guilty for a daughter who has subjugated her country? The Beiyuan King has gone too far! That witch's life is ours, and our Nanshuang's is.
Isn’t life just life? You also don’t care about your reputation, sir? I can swallow this tone, but I can’t!”
"What can we do? Could it be that we can still be enemies with the King of Beiyuan!" Pei Shinian's livid face became even more ugly. He thought that he had been famous all his life, but now he has encountered such a thing.
"So what if we are enemies?" Mrs. Pei said calmly, with a murderous coldness in her eyes, "Now that the Seven Kingdoms have been pacified, the Qin Dynasty has unified the world, and the mission of the King of the North Campus has been completed. The late emperor wanted to prevent the imperial power from falling into the hands of the emperor.
In the hands of others, I specially handed over the military power to Murong Canghai and gave him the title of King of Beiyuan, ordering him to assist the young emperor. He has controlled the government for many years, and now it is time for him to hand over everything."
"Madam!" After hearing this, Pei Shinian immediately stood up, looked around, and whispered to the servants beside him, "Quick, close the door." He walked up to Mrs. Pei again and asked in a low voice, "
Have you gone to see the Queen Mother?"
Mrs. Pei nodded and said, "These days, I often go to the palace to keep company with the Queen Mother, which is called admiring flowers and drinking tea. In fact, the Queen Mother has been talking to me about how to force the King of Beiyuan to return power to the Emperor.
The Queen Mother couldn't summon her ministers for fear of alerting the enemy, so she said something to me and asked me to tell the master. Originally, I planned to talk about it some time later, but since the Nanshuang incident happened, let's talk about it as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Pei Shinian said with a serious look on his face, "Although the King of the North Courtyard suppresses the little emperor in every way, you also know that his reputation is far higher than that of the emperor. It is not easy to pay him.
If you are not careful, you will lose your entire family’s wealth and life.”
"Master!" Mrs. Pei held Pei Shinian's hand tightly and said, "The emperor is our son-in-law, and our eldest daughter is the queen of a country. If the power of the North Court King is allowed to grow again and again, she will be the first to suffer in the future.
She is our daughter, if she is harmed, how can we survive!"
The expression on Pei Shinian's face was tense, his eyes gradually became deeper and deeper, and he said, "Then, you immediately go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and see what her intentions are regarding the Nanshuang matter."
"Yes!" Mrs. Pei nodded, and immediately ordered the sedan chair to enter the palace while it was dark.
