Pei Zhi thought for a moment and then instructed, "If they want to do anything, make sure to let them pass, just keep an eye on them."
"I will help them kidnap my father."
Since the officials in the court have seen through the situation and are unwilling to help the second brother.
Then it's up to her to find a way to help her good second brother.
Pei Zhi pondered for a long time, then said, "Tell me, aren't my methods too cruel?"
Pei Zhi said with a hint of regret, "I thought at least a dozen ministers would be there today."
These officials are all so perceptive; Pei Zhi really doesn't know what to do.
Xie Qi laughed and said, "Which court official who has reached the rank of fourth grade or above isn't a shrewd and capable person?"
The Blood Droplets and the Dark Guards are all in Pei Zhi's hands.
If Pei Zhi is displeased, he can take the lives of any official in the capital and their entire family.
As for accusing Pei Zhi of disrupting the court?
For a woman to ascend the throne, she would not be accepted unless she used ruthless methods.
Xie Qi's grandfather had become Pei Zhi's teacher.
On the military side, Yuan Chengyu mediated between them, and Pei Zhi had also served on the battlefield.
Pei Zhi is now only one step away from ascending the throne: the emperor's death.
Xie Qi helped Pei Zhi with a lot of court affairs. As it was getting late, Xie Qi first escorted Pei Zhi back to the princess's residence before returning to his own home.
Upon returning to the manor, Xie Qi was caught red-handed by his father.
Thank you, Grand Secretary Xie. No, you're already Master Xie now.
After attending court for three days, Grand Secretary Xie voluntarily resigned.
Pei Zhi pretended to try and persuade him to stay, but Xie Ge Lao insisted, so Pei Zhi had no choice but to give up.
"What happened at the Second Prince's residence today? I heard the smell of blood is overwhelming."
Xie Qi said nonchalantly, "Isn't the Second Prince hosting a banquet? Perhaps he's just slaughtering a pig and cooking."
"Bullshit!" Master Xie couldn't help but curse. "Who slaughtered a pig and blood is flowing into the street?"
Master Xie pondered, "Are all these officials and soldiers in the capital dead? Not a single one of them has gone to check on the situation."
Xie Qi remained silent, only accepting the jade pendant hanging from his body.
After pondering for a while, Master Xie suddenly understood.
Master Xie worriedly asked, "Could it be that there won't be a single survivor in the manor tomorrow?"
"How could that be?" Xie Qi was very surprised. "The Second Prince is, after all, the Princess's brother. If the Princess were to make a move against the Second Prince, who knows how the censors would condemn her."
Xie Qi said helplessly, "Even the princess finds those censors annoying when they start cursing."
When officials criticize someone, they don't repeat themselves.
Some radicals will even write poems to criticize you.
Master Xie snorted coldly, "I didn't realize that the princess was afraid of censors?"
Master Xie wanted to say that when the princess killed officials, those officials were cursing at home every day, but the princess acted as if she didn't hear them.
The gates of the Second Prince's residence were not opened until midnight.
The soldiers went in to clear the area; people went in upright and were carried out horizontally.
Early in the morning, news came from the Second Prince's residence that the Second Prince had hosted a banquet for guests the previous day.
As a result, the food was poisoned, and all the guests died.
Fortunately, everyone in the Second Prince's residence was safe and sound.
The news spread widely, and many people cursed the Second Prince, calling him a heartless scoundrel.
How come only his family members are alright, while the rest are dead?
It's possible that the Second Prince did this on purpose.
Taking advantage of the situation, Yuan Chengyu severely tortured all the servants in the Second Prince's residence.
The officials in the court who hesitated but did not go were so frightened that they could hardly stand.
Thankfully, they didn't go.
If they had gone, this would probably have been their fate.
Now, the Second Prince's residence was as if it had been struck by a plague.
Everyone preferred to take a detour rather than pass by the Second Prince's residence.
The second prince fell ill from anger and was bedridden with a fever, unable to get up.
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi generously allowed the imperial physician to come and examine the Second Prince.
However, the second prince was afraid, and Pei Zhi took the opportunity to make him die of illness.
He dared not drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, preferring instead to have the servants in his household fetch a doctor from outside to prescribe medicine for him.
The second prince felt he couldn't accept his fate. If he died like this, wouldn't Pei Zhi be laughing to death?
The second prince had just recovered from his illness when he heard that someone wanted to visit him.
The second prince was surprised to find that someone was actually visiting him at this hour.
Pei Zhi was reviewing memorials when Yuan Chengyu said that the remnants of the Solo Kingdom had already made contact with the Second Prince.
Yuan Chengyu found it amusing, “These remnants of the Solo Kingdom were afraid of being discovered if they stayed in an inn, so they actually stayed in an abandoned temple outside the city.”
"As a result, a fight broke out with those beggars that very day over territory."
Pei Zhi hadn't expected there to be such a twist in the middle.
Xie Qi asked, "They just entered the Second Prince's residence so openly and brazenly?"
“Our officers and soldiers kept an eye on them the whole way. When they saw any officers or soldiers about to question them, they immediately went to resolve the issue for them.”
Yuan Chengyu sighed: "The journey was relatively smooth. We managed to get them into the Second Prince's residence without them noticing."
"So, what will the princess do next?"
Xie Qi suppressed a laugh and said, "A bunch of remnants who can fight with beggars for territory, it seems a bit difficult for the princess to rely on them to kidnap His Majesty."
Emperor Pei was inside the palace, and these oddballs managed to storm into the palace and kidnap him.
The enemy is too incompetent, which is also a problem.
Pei Zhi rubbed her forehead, then looked at Yuan Chengyu.
"Go and contact Allen, and have him lead the team to infiltrate these remnants of the Solo Kingdom."
Yuan Chengyu raised an eyebrow. "Alan has been in Solo for so long, he should know some of their language. This plan works."
"Later, we'll say that Father is unwell and that I'll take him to the temple to pray for him, thus creating an opportunity for them."
Pei Zhi lowered her voice, "Plan it carefully, we must make sure they successfully kidnap Father Emperor."
Xie Qi reminded her, "Before this, it seems the princess went to see His Majesty to ask for the imperial seal?"
Yuan Chengyu nodded, "It would be best if His Majesty issued a decree to pass on the throne to you."
Pei Zhi propped her forehead with her hand. "Let him issue an edict to pass the throne to me? Is such an absurd edict necessary?"
"Do you think those ministers would believe that?"
He wanted Emperor Pei to leave the throne to a princess, even though he still had so many princes.
Reading out such an edict would be a laughing stock.
Xie Qi responded, "Whether there is an imperial decree or not, the princess is now ruling from behind the curtain. His Majesty's intention is that the princess's ascension to the throne is legitimate."
Yuan Chengyu had only mentioned it casually, and seeing that Xie Qi and Pei Zhi both said they didn't need it, he didn't say anything more.
Pei Zhi tapped the table. "We really need to get our hands on the Imperial Seal as soon as possible."
The Imperial Seal of the State is of great significance.
