Chapter 128: Your Majesty, I Know You Are the Best
The capital city suddenly became lively.
Most of these playboys were spoiled children at home and the apple of their parents' eyes. They were locked up at noon, and someone would find out what happened in the evening. The next day, a group of officials, led by the Jingzhao Yin, knelt outside the palace gate and apologized.
After Pei Yan left the court, he was stared at by Jiang Shuyi, and he understood what she meant. He changed his clothes and called her over to hug her: "You can't go to the prison to watch the excitement. It's an insult to your status and it will scare you."
Jiang Shuyi immediately looked disappointed.
"They were all spoiled or neglected dandies at home. They were scared to death when they entered the prison, crying for their parents. I instructed the jailers to punish the Qi family and a few troublemakers. The others were terrified and blamed each other. They have already started fighting among themselves."
Jiang Shuyi was still a little angry: "Just a beating? They are so outrageous, they should all be executed!"
Pei Yan was very satisfied with Jiang Shuyi's reaction.
He had had this thought countless times when he was bullied.
It can be said that we are in sync.
"They are going to die, but I don't need to order them to do so." He lowered his long eyelashes, with a gentle smile in his dark eyes: "I still prefer to watch them die with a clean conscience.
Jiang Shuyi quickly understood what Pei Yan meant.
The emperor was merciful and even though he was offended, he pardoned the children because of their young age and only sentenced them to one month in prison.
However, within two days, someone died.
Because of a fight in prison, a son and a daughter of the Qi family died. The emperor could not bear it and showed mercy and released these young men.
The only two children of Jingzhao Yin Qi Yuan died, and he was almost heartbroken.
He didn't think his children were at fault. His son was smart and his daughter was weak and obedient. How could they offend His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine for no reason? Someone must have instigated them and used his children as pawns!
Not only that, they even killed his children in prison...
Qi Yuan was not a loyal person to begin with. He got to this position only because he had sided with the current emperor early on. He immediately hated the current emperor and sent his confidants to kill the sons of the chancellor of the Imperial College and the chief clerk of the Imperial Household Department, who had attacked his son in prison, the next day.
This is a big deal. The son of an official was killed by someone who broke into his house right under the feet of the emperor. How can we tolerate this unless we find out the real culprit?
However, cases like this are also under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Yin for investigation.
The parents of the other teenagers were afraid that if they could not find out the truth, their own children would be harmed in the same way in the future, so they began to expose Qi Yuan's crimes to the court.
For many years, he seemed to be upright and uninvolved in party struggles, but in fact he accepted bribes in secret and suppressed many unjust cases. His crimes are too numerous to list.
Qi Yuan's children were both dead, and he had already decided to die, so he did such a life-threatening thing. Unexpectedly, those bastards who killed his children dared to come and bite him!
Since the children can be gathered together, their moral character will be similar.
Over the years, Qi Yuan has had a lot of evidence of their crimes in his hands.
Qi Yuan pleaded guilty, but presented the evidence before the emperor. They must die together!
A case in which ignorant teenagers offended the emperor incognito led to the exposure of a large number of website bugs in the capital.
In the past he was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, but now he is carrying a yoke and traveling far away.
Whether or not one can survive during exile is their own destiny.
And all this happened in just five or six days.
Jiang Shuyi had long since changed from her initial anger to admiration for Pei Yan.
"How can your majesty be so powerful? How can your majesty be so powerful?!"
She did what she wanted to do when she was incognito. She threw Pei Yan onto the bed and looked at him with bright eyes.
Pei Yan smiled and tilted his head: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Shuyi moved closer, their breath blended together, and their lips almost touched: "I like your majesty, I like you so much, I don't know how to make your majesty understand."
Her low voice could not hide her excitement, as if she was telling some secret, but Pei Yan already knew it.
Just like letting a healthy and strong cat play tricks on him, Pei Yan looked at her with a smile and reached out to touch her head.
Jiang Shuyi sniffed the same scent and fragrance on him as her own, ruffled his clothes, hugged him tightly, then let go and let him hug her.
This went on for a long time, and when she felt that Pei Yan had become angry, she finally woke up as if from a dream and blinked at him.
Pei Yan's gentle expression showed no sign of abnormality, and he even asked her with a smile: "Why don't you run? Aren't you afraid?"
Because of the physical weakness incident last time, Pei Yan has been busy proving his innocence these days, so when Jiang Shuyi was hugged again at dawn today, she was so scared that she ran out in her pajamas.
Jiang Shuyi laid on his chest and hummed, "Because I was caught by His Majesty when I tried to escape this morning, I knew it was useless, so I decided not to run away."
Pei Yan's voice was as gentle as spring water: "Now that your clothes and hair are neat and tidy, I allow you to run."
It would be fine if he just said some harsh words, but how could Jiang Shuyi have the heart to run away and leave him here alone so irresponsibly!
"I will not run away. Your Majesty caught me this morning. Seeing that I begged for mercy, he was reluctant to punish me. I know that Your Majesty is the best and will not be too harsh."
Pei Yan laughed.
He didn't rush to do anything. He gently rubbed her earlobes with his calloused fingertips until they turned bright red, then he turned over.
......
Jiang Shuyi and Pei Yan were inseparable for several days. When Cheng Shouzhong came to report what he had found out about Taoist Wu's life, they suddenly remembered the matter of the note.
"Wu Jianshan's ancestral home is Qiantang. He was abandoned by his parents and raised by an old Taoist priest. He was quite famous in the local area. It was said that he had exorcised evil spirits in the homes of officials and county magistrates. Later, he traveled all over the place and it was difficult to trace his whereabouts. All we know is that he saved many people through free medical treatment and took in many orphans as his apprentices along the way. Taoist Zixu was very famous in many places, and some people even built temples for him."
Jiang Shuyi said quickly, "So Taoist Priest Wu is indeed quite capable. Your Majesty, please ask him to perform a ritual for me. I really don't want to be so nervous and afraid of having nightmares every day when I fall asleep!"
Pei Yan looked at her, hesitant to speak, and sighed: "...Forget it, haven't you had nightmares these days?"
"We didn't do it every day before. The little devil would scare me every once in a while. I am so nervous now, and I think the date will come soon."
Jiang Shuyi said this with an uneasy look on her face. She lowered her head and twirled her fingers, fearing that she would be discovered.
Pei Yan felt a little powerless for a rare moment.
Poetry and books can be taught, but the brain cannot be taught to be smart.
Whatever you think about during the day you will dream about at night. She even thought about the little ghost, so how could she not have nightmares.
Pei Yan looked at Jiang Shuyi's pulse records over the past few months and found that she was indeed worried too much and had already taken some toll on her health.
If she is pampered and praised for no reason, she will actually make herself sick.
Perhaps what Wu Jianshan said made sense. Only by getting rid of the ghost in her heart could she relieve her worries and become healthier.
Pei Yan never wanted to see her sick and unconscious again in his life, as if she would never wake up.
