Chapter 375 What else do you want?
Mo Ran stepped forward and accepted the Qinglang Sword.
Seeing that Pei Yanchuan showed no sign of leaving, Chen Jie asked, "Pei Yanchuan, what exactly do you mean?"
"Don't be impatient, Prince Consort," Pei Yanchuan said slowly, leaning back lazily in his armchair. "Did I say that this was the only thing?"
"You want to back out?" Chen Jie clenched his fists. "Pei Yanchuan, I also advise you to be careful of those you care about."
"Are you really sure you trust Jiang Wan Ning? Aren't you afraid I have other plans and she won't be able to come back?"
Pei Yanchuan didn't care about Chen Jie's threats at all. The fact that he let Ningning go alone was something the two of them had already discussed, and it was only allowed because he could ensure her safety.
Pei Yanchuan said coldly, "You can try."
Chen Jie was caught off guard by Song Zhuran's attack this time, and he knew that Pei Yanchuan was not taking action against him because of Jiang Wanning.
If there were no one in this world he cared about, Pei Yanchuan would probably have already come to kill him the moment he learned that he was the murderer of the Duke of Ying.
Chen Jie has always been able to bend and stretch, and he has tolerated the Grand Princess for more than ten years, so what is there for him not to tolerate this?
What else do you want?
Pei Yanchuan said calmly, "You know that."
Chen Jie suddenly realized that Song Zhuran had kidnapped Yu Hai and A San.
“The person is not with me now. Give me three days, and I will definitely return the person to you,” Chen Jie said.
Pei Yanchuan closed his eyes as if taking a nap, ignoring Chen Jie.
“Two days,” Chen Jie added.
“Right now,” Pei Yanchuan said.
"Pei Yanchuan, don't push your luck."
"These are the words I should be saying to Lord Chen. I can take your dog's life at any time. It's just a matter of whether I want to die with you or let you bear a lifetime of infamy."
"Hmph, if you had said that before, I would have believed that with your temperament, Prince Langya, you would have killed me on the spot."
"But now you have people you can't let go of. I now command an army of 200,000, while you only have 100,000 crickets at your disposal. Even if the remaining 100,000 arrive, your body will probably be cold by then."
"Pei Yanchuan, you dare not confront me head-on."
“But you don’t want to be a rebel, do you?” Pei Yanchuan said. “You want to have power, and you also want a legitimate reason.”
The two argued fiercely, neither willing to back down, each knowing that the other couldn't really do anything to them.
But Chen Jie lost because Song Zhuran was present in the mansion today.
It's likely that the area around the Prince Consort's residence is already completely surrounded by the Imperial Guards. If Song Zhuran is found, although His Majesty won't do anything to Pei Yanchuan until a suitable replacement is chosen, in order to keep Pei Yanchuan in check, he will be fined.
However, His Majesty will never allow his power to become too excessive again, and Song Zhuran, this pawn, will be rendered useless.
She is still useful.
"As I said, the person is not in my residence right now. If you want him, I will return him to you in perfect condition within two days."
"I don't want to repeat myself," Pei Yanchuan said coldly. "Isn't the Imperial Noble Consort at the Prince Consort's residence? She must have a way."
Inside the room, Song Zhuran was completely contorted in shock. If it weren't for the fact that she had angered her master by acting on her own initiative,
At this moment, she would definitely rush out and kill Pei Yanchuan.
Seeing that Pei Yanchuan was not backing down at all, Chen Jie whispered something to the guard beside him.
The guard entered the room and informed Song Zhuran.
Suppressing her anger, Song Zhuran wrote down an address on the paper.
"This is where the two of them are." Chen Jie ordered someone to hand the address to Pei Yanchuan.
Although this was their contact address with Nan Li Na.
But Song Zhuran wrote this in a different handwriting, and the person who saw it would naturally release the person, as long as they still wanted to continue cooperating.
Pei Yanchuan took the address, got up, and left.
"Why aren't you getting these people out of here?" Chen Jie said.
"Once the people are found, I will let them go back," Pei Yanchuan said coldly. "The prince consort and the Imperial Noble Consort can stay here for now. Don't worry, I won't spread this matter."
Chen Jie naturally knew that as long as Song Zhuran did not appear in front of these imperial guards, even if Pei Yanchuan said that she was in his residence, it would be a false accusation.
"Oh, by the way, the Imperial Noble Consort is deeply in love with the Imperial Son-in-Law, but the Imperial Son-in-Law is only thinking of someone else. That's really not the behavior of a gentleman." Pei Yanchuan stirred up trouble and then turned to leave.
Chen Jie took a deep breath, cursing inwardly: You're a gentleman? You're a gentleman saying that?
Chen Jie turned and went into the house. Song Zhuran, her eyes red, ran over and hugged Chen Jie. "Master, I'm sorry, it's all Ranran's fault."
"It's all Ranran's fault. Master suffered such a great humiliation from Pei Yanchuan today."
Chen Jie was annoyed, but he still had to patiently push the person away.
Song Zhuran seemed to sense something, her eyes red as she looked at Chen Jie, "Master, will you blame Ranran again?"
Chen Jie sat on a round stool to the side, frowning and rubbing his temples. "Today's events are a lesson, and we must never repeat them."
"Ranran already knows. Is what Pei Yanchuan said true, Master?" Song Zhuran didn't want to ask, but she couldn't help herself.
Chen Jie looked up and said impatiently, "Do you think everyone is like Pei Yanchuan? Someone who would give up the best opportunity for love?"
For some reason, Song Zhuran felt both happy and a little disappointed after hearing these words.
"Alright, you stay here. Don't leave this room until Pei Yanchuan withdraws the Imperial Guards, and don't even go through the secret passage."
He initially underestimated the situation. Fortunately, Song Zhuran didn't leave after being drugged.
Pei Yanchuan must have already known about the secret passage.
......
Pei Yanchuan left the Prince Consort's residence and met up with Jiang Wanning at the place they had agreed upon.
"Ningning." Pei Yanchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Wanning had arrived long ago. "How are you? Are you alright?"
Pei Yanchuan looked him up and down.
Jiang Wan Ning shook her head and looked at Butler Zhao.
She never imagined that after so many years, the Netherworld Sect's strength would be comparable to that of the Lingxiao Sect, and that it wasn't just a group of people the same age as Steward Zhao, but also the many orphans that her maternal grandfather had secretly helped over the years.
On ordinary days, they might be street vendors, waiters in restaurants, or even wealthy businessmen.
However, upon seeing the token, they realized they were disciples of the Netherworld Sect, each possessing exceptional martial arts skills.
"Chen Jie gave Ah San and Yu Hai their addresses. Let's go."
Jiang Wan Ning nodded.
"Your Highness, it would be better to leave this matter to this old servant. It's getting late, Your Highness should go back and rest soon."
Butler Zhao said with concern that Jiang Wan Ning hadn't rested much these past few days, and he had noticed it all.
“Yu Hai and A-San both saved my life, and I must go and save them myself.”
Pei Yanchuan knew that Jiang Wanning considered Yu Hai's act of saving her life as a way of repaying him.
"I will go with you."
