Chapter 252 Why did you come to see me late at night?

The royal guards who had entered the palace to report returned to the palace gate as quickly as possible.

"Pei, follow me to the palace to see the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Pei was secretly delighted and said, "Thank you, sir."

She didn't care about anything and walked into the palace.

After Pei entered the palace, the imperial guard whispered to his buddy beside him, "Tell the brothers, don't let the news of Pei's entry into the palace tonight leak out."

"clear."

This Pei may not know that there is a price to pay for entering this palace.

After Xiao Junze entered the imperial study, Chief Steward Ji stood outside waiting for Pei's arrival.

Pei, who was too proud of herself, hurried to the outside of the imperial study under the leadership of the imperial guards.

Steward Ji took two steps forward and said coldly, "Ms. Pei, you know what to say and what not to say, right?"

"Of course I know." Pei looked a little crazy because she could take revenge immediately.

Chief Steward Ji looked at Pei with disdain and said, "Come with us!"

Before Jiang Qinian went to Jizhou, she was still the high and mighty prime minister's wife.

In just a few months, this Pei family lived in such poverty.

Manager Ji knocked on the door, "Knock, knock!"

Xiao Junze, who was sitting at the desk, heard the knock on the door and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Steward Ji gently pushed open the door and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Pei has been brought here. I will withdraw."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze nodded and winked at Manager Ji.

Steward Ji turned and left the imperial study, closing the door behind him.

After Pei followed Chief Steward Ji into the imperial study, she quickly knelt down and said, "I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

"Stand up!" Xiao Junze's tone was filled with a hint of urgency.

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei stood up tremblingly and stood aside stiffly.

Xiao Junze covered his lips and coughed lightly, then said with a hint of meaning, "Pei, why did you come to see me so late at night?"

Pei's brain worked quickly...

Although Xiao Junze was a little anxious, he also gave Pei time to think.

Pei sorted out her thoughts, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her head and spoke in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, I request an audience tonight because of a secret matter."

Xiao Junze couldn't wait any longer, "Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, what I am going to say may sound a little unbelievable, but it is all true."

Xiao Junze nodded and motioned Pei to continue.

"My daughter Jiang Yunyao is... a person who has been reborn." After Pei finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Junze.

When Xiao Junze heard the word "rebirth", he was stunned for a moment.

Rebirth?

Does it mean dying and coming back to life?

But didn't Jiang Yunyao die in Jizhou...

Thinking of this, Xiao Junze suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Pei looked at Xiao Junze's expression and knew that he was overthinking it.

"Your Majesty, on the day Xiao Chengjin was exiled, my daughter fell down the stairs of the teahouse and fell into a coma."

"After waking up, she had memories of her past life."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze stood up and said, "What? Memories from a previous life."

So, this Pei knew about the things in the previous life.

Seeing that the time had come, Mrs. Pei went straight to the point, "My daughter knew what happened in her previous life, so she went to Jizhou."

"Because, in the future, Xiao Chengjin will ascend the throne..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze staggered uncontrollably.

The words "Xiao Chengjin ascended the throne" almost made him lose his mind.

Xiao Junze clenched his hands and stared at Pei, "Who else knows this secret?"

His voice was cold and terrifying.

Pei was so frightened by Xiao Junze's appearance that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.

Yes, this is a good opportunity to take revenge on Jiang Qinian.

She trembled and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Jiang Qinian knows this secret..."

When Xiao Junze heard this, his anger continued to rise.

Great! No wonder Jiang Qinian, that old bastard, took on the responsibility of providing disaster relief in Jizhou...

"Your Majesty, according to Yao'er, in her previous life, that bitch Jiang Ruo died in Jizhou."

"But she is not dead now."

"Also, there was no theft of the national treasury in the previous life."

"From what I've observed, ever since Jiang Ruo agreed to the wedding, she's become a completely different person... It's very strange."

"I suspect that these things were most likely done by Jiang Ruo." Pei decided to go all out and told all her previous suspicions.

After hearing this, Xiao Junze froze there as if struck by lightning.

So, the dragon throne and jade were also stolen by them.

At this moment, Xiao Junze could even be sure that the phoenix that came to provoke him some time ago belonged to Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo.

Humph! You ascended the throne in your last life, but in this one... forget it.

Xiao Junze sat back in his seat and used all his strength to calm himself down from his furious state.

You can hear a pin drop in the imperial study.

Xiao Junze looked at Pei who was kneeling on the ground, and a terrible murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Pei, please go back first. I need to think carefully about how to 'reward' you."

Upon hearing this, Pei raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, I do not want any reward. I only have one request."

"I beg the Emperor to kill Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo and avenge my daughter."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze's eyes flashed with disdain, "Okay, I will grant your request."

"Chief Steward Ji, escort Pei out of the palace!"

"I obey your order!" Chief Steward Ji walked into the imperial study with his head lowered and his eyes pleasing to the eye.

"Ms. Pei, we will escort you out of the palace."

Pei held the ground with both hands and said, "I'll take my leave."

After Chief Steward Ji took Pei out of the imperial study, Xiao Junze called in the secret guards.

"Someone come!"

A man in black flew down and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Xiao Junze stood up and said coldly, "Follow them. The Pei family accidentally caught fire... and everyone was burned to death."

"I understand!" The secret guard took the order and stood up to leave.

That night, a fire reduced the Meng family to ashes.
