Chapter 181 I'm Going to Get Married
Bai Changming looked at Lu Sui standing in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he couldn't help but complain: "Why are you so slow?"
"I came out of the Imperial Prison, covered in dirt. I went back to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion and cleaned myself up."
The old master's mouth twitched when he heard this.
"Zhong Qian, you really love cleanliness."
"It's a habit I've had for many years and I can't change it in a short time. I hope the Grand Master will understand."
Pei Zhangyuan, who was standing not far away, saw the two of them chatting and completely ignoring him.
How can I keep calm?
"Lu Sui, you little bastard, why did you tie up my daughter?"
Lu Sui, who was talking to the Grand Tutor, seemed to remember Pei Zhangyuan when he heard his voice.
He turned around and stood on the steps of the Golden Throne Hall, with his hands behind his back. His official robes rustled in the wind, and an awe-inspiring and majestic aura filled him.
He looked at Pei Zhangyuan as if he was looking at an ant.
"The traitor Pei Zhangyuan colluded with foreign rebels, poisoned the Crown Prince, tortured and killed the princes, and while the Emperor was unconscious, he led his troops to force the palace in an attempt to rebel. He deserves death!"
Even if there are 200,000 Mobei troops outside the palace gate.
But within the palace walls, his 100,000 imperial troops were guarding.
Pei Zhangyuan was not panicked at all!
After he captures him alive to threaten Shen Huaishan, he will stab the bastard Lu Sui to death with a sword, and then kill the unconscious old man in the Yangxin Palace. Then this kingdom will belong to his Pei family.
Pei Zhangyuan has a good idea.
What a beautiful thought.
So even though Lu Sui had so much evidence against him, he was still not afraid.
Yes, it was he who poisoned the prince.
It was also he who tortured and killed the prince.
He was the one who rebelled...but so what?
Now, more than half of the civil and military officials in the court are on his side. As for the rest... once he ascends the throne, he will have plenty of ways to deal with them.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered.
"Lu Sui, stop talking nonsense here. Even the Imperial Prison can't stop you, and you insist on coming here to die. Then I will send you to hell."
He stepped back and signaled Ji Hong to kill Lu Sui.
Ji Hong stepped forward with a sword, but the next moment, Pei Yunjin was pushed in front of Lu Sui.
“Wuwuwu…”
Pei Yunjin looked at his father and whimpered for help.
Pei Zhangyuan looked at her and frowned in disgust.
"I've raised you for eighteen years. It's fine if you can't help me on a normal day, but you're holding me back at this critical moment."
"Don't blame my father for being cruel. I've worked so hard for so many years just for this moment."
"Jin'er, I gave birth to you and raised you, so you should give me something in return, right?"
"Why don't you go first? When you get there, I'll let your mother and sister go down with you."
"This completes our father-daughter relationship over the years!"
Pei Yunjin, whose eyes were originally full of hope, turned pale when he heard this.
She looked at her father in disbelief.
I couldn't believe these words came out of his mouth.
After all, she is his own flesh and blood.
She thought he would definitely save her...
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but her father is three times more vicious than an animal.
Pei Yunjin no longer begged him, but turned to look at Lu Sui, her eyes red from crying, revealing a resolute light.
Lu Sui glanced at her and signaled Qingfeng to untie her.
As soon as he was free, Pei Yunjin knelt down.
She pulled a piece of black parchment from her bosom and held it high above her head. Her voice was hoarse, but loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"Pei Yunjin, daughter of the Pei family, is willing to atone for her sins by exposing her father, Pei Zhangyuan, for colluding with foreigners, stealing the country's border defense map, and committing treason and collaborating with the enemy!"
"This is the border map and some letters I found in his study."
Pei Zhangyuan was stunned.
Then he flew into a rage.
"You bastard, are you having a nightmare? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Pei Yunjin ignored him and continued to hold the object in his hand high.
Lu Sui glanced at her, reached out to take it, unfolded it and looked at it, his handsome face full of anger.
"You are so good, Lord Pei. It turns out that you have the missing half of the border defense map, yet you falsely accuse me of it and cause me to suffer many days in prison."
"Impossible! What border map? I've never seen one!"
Pei Zhangyuan suddenly panicked.
He could poison the crown prince, torture the prince to death, or ambitiously seize the throne.
But the only thing is that he cannot commit treason.
Who would support a traitor to be emperor!
That's absolutely impossible!
Ji Hong, who was originally protecting him, began to lose balance with his sword.
He looked at Pei Zhangyuan in shock, and his heart, which had never wavered, began to sway.
Lu Sui noticed his expression.
So, he walked up to him and handed over the thing in his hand.
"General Ji, as the commander of the Nine Gates, must be familiar with this thing."
Ji Hong reached out and took it...
This half piece of parchment has a defense map of various places in the capital on the front, and a border defense map on the back.
Every place is clearly marked.
Because it is quite old, even the parchment has turned slightly yellow.
Ji Hong's hands were shaking violently, and he looked at Pei Zhangyuan, furious.
The sword that was originally pointed at Lu Sui fell on Pei Zhangyuan's neck.
"You, you bastard..."
Pei Zhangyuan opened his mouth to argue, but was stabbed through the throat by a sword.
As blood splattered all over the ground, this turbulent court game that lasted for nearly several months finally came to an end with Prime Minister Pei committing suicide.
Two days later, the emperor, who had been in a coma for several months, finally woke up.
That night, he summoned several important officials into the palace.
The next day, an imperial decree was issued, demoting the third prince to a commoner and imprisoning him in a deep garden.
He also appointed the eldest son of the deceased crown prince as the young crown prince, and appointed Lu Sui as the crown prince's tutor, and gave him the title of first-class regent, doing his best to assist the young crown prince.
General Pingxi Shen Huaishan was appointed Grand Marshal and was given the title of First-Class Zhenguo Duke. His family inherited the title and enjoyed an everlasting prosperity.
The old Grand Tutor awarded them yellow riding jackets embroidered with golden dragons, and the eldest and second masters were promoted one rank each. As for Bai Shaoting and Bai Shaochuan, one was directly promoted to Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and the other was transferred from the Imperial College to the Ministry of Personnel.
A family full of glory.
In a short while, the Taifu Mansion, the Shen Family, and the Bai Family were all crowded with people.
But all this has nothing to do with Jiang Yueyao.
She stayed in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and except for accompanying the old lady, she spent the rest of her time in Wangyue Tower.
Bai Jinyu has recovered.
Although she still couldn't remember her daughter Jiang Yueyao, it didn't stop her from liking her.
That love came so suddenly that even she was surprised.
This child seemed to be destined to be with her. Not only did he look like her, but even his eating, drinking, and sleeping habits were almost the same as hers.
While she was amazed, she also felt that fate in the world was truly wonderful.
Every time she sees someone, she can't help but hug her. If possible, she really wants to kiss her again.
But I think this is too offensive...
At night, she lay in Shen Huaishan's arms and discussed things with him.
"Yaoyao is really my type. Why don't I keep her by my side? What do you think?"
Hearing this, Shen Huaishan lowered his eyes to look at her.
"Isn't she by our side now? She will always be by our side in the future."
"That's different. She's seventeen now and will eventually get married."
