So ordered! "
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees this.
Pei Zixuan, the daughter of Duke Pei, is dignified and elegant, talented and virtuous, and virtuous. She has won my heart, so I have decided to confer upon her the rank of a sixth-rank official, bestow upon her the title of Jing, grant her the residence of Tingyu Pavilion, and bestow upon her five hundred taels of silver, twelve pieces of jewellery, and twelve bolts of silk and satin.
Choose a day to enter the palace. This is my order."
Pei Zixuan is the fourth daughter of the Pei family. She is nineteen years old but still unmarried.
It turns out that the Pei family kept her for such great use.
Li Qingluo glanced at Pan Li, who also looked shocked.
But in fact, except for them, everyone else in the Pei family was also extremely shocked.
The arrival of these two imperial edicts has indeed completely changed the entire situation.
Everyone in the Pei Mansion instantly had joy and smiles on their faces.
Only Pei Si Niang looked extremely ugly.
She lowered her head and used great effort to hold back her tears. Then she stepped forward and respectfully accepted the imperial edict with her father, Duke Pei, and thanked him for his grace.
Prince Su stood up with a gloomy face after receiving the order.
In front of the eunuch Wang He, he wrinkled the imperial edict in his hand.
Wang He could only pretend not to see it, and trembling with fear, he tried to be polite and gentle: "Your Highness, please return to Prince Su's Mansion as soon as possible... shut yourself up and reflect on your mistakes..."
Prince Su sneered, "Father's imperial edict arrived just in time. I was about to bring someone to justice, but now I have to temporarily take off my official uniform. Do you think that this will make the Peiguo Mansion lawless?"
Wang He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
After all, this King of Hell had killed countless people in the past, but as long as the case was cleared up, His Majesty would turn a blind eye and never care about what he had done.
The fact that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are so clean now is closely related to the methods of this King Yama.
But His Majesty changes his attitude at will, punishes at will, and protects the Pei family so obviously. It would be strange if Prince Su is not angry.
Wang He could only smile.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has said that you only need to obey his orders and there is no need to go to the palace to see him."
Duan Rongshi suddenly calmed down completely.
He seemed to have accepted this fact, turned around and walked out with all the guards and subordinates.
"Tell the emperor that I obey his orders!"
Before leaving, Prince Su glanced at Li Qingluo.
Although his eyes only passed lightly over where she was, Li Qingluo knew that he was looking at her.
For some reason, seeing him leave with the imperial edict so calmly and calmly, Li Qingluo looked at his back and saw a bit of loneliness, reluctance, solitude and sarcasm.
Her heart ached, and an indescribable soreness instantly filled her entire chest.
Prince Su really wants to handle the Pei Mansion case, and he also really wants to seek justice for Nan Jia and find out the real culprit.
However, the emperor was in power. Although he was arrogant and domineering in his daily life, and his methods of handling cases were decisive, ruthless and fierce, he was still no match for the emperor's words.
Everything fell through at the last moment.
It's really ridiculous...
After coming out of Pei Mansion, people from the Pan family hurried over.
"Li'er——"
Pan Li's mother got off the carriage and hugged Pan Li in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
"We received a secret letter saying you were at the Pei family. We still don't believe it and don't understand why you are here."
"I didn't expect you to be here! Did you know we've been looking for you all day?"
"But fortunately, being in the Pei family is better than being kidnapped by real thieves."
"Li'er, come home with your parents..."
Li Qingluo looked at her grandmother.
Mrs. Pei nodded slowly. It was indeed the letter she sent to the Pan family.
It’s just that the Pan family arrived too late and had no idea what had happened in the Pei Mansion.
Pan Li's eyes were red as she shook her head. "Father, Mother, it was the eldest daughter of the Li family who saved our daughter. We were both kidnapped by the Pei family. As for the rest, let's talk about it when we get home."
It would probably not be easy to completely conceal what the Pei Mansion did.
So Pan Li didn't intend to hide everything, and would only tell part of what could be told in Pan Li's identity.
The Pan couple were naturally very grateful to Li Qingluo and invited her to visit the Pei family.
Pan Li: "Father and Mother, of course we have to go to the Li family in person to thank them for saving our daughter."
Li Qingluo quickly reminded him, "We are now at General Xiuli's Mansion in the south of the city."
Pan Li changed her tone and said, "Yes, let's go to General Xiuli's residence in person to thank Miss Li and Old Madam Pei. If it weren't for them, our daughter wouldn't be able to come out so soon."
The Pan couple expressed their gratitude again and again.
After seeing Pan Li off, Li Qingluo looked at the woman squatting at his feet.
Just now, when they were about to bring this woman out, Duke Pei seemed to want to stop them.
It was Old Madam Pei who said, "Didn't you say that the entire Pei Mansion knew nothing about the dungeon incident? If that's the case, I'll take this surviving victim with me!"
The chief eunuch Wang He was still there, and Duke Pei could only watch them take the person away from the Pei Mansion.
On the way back in the carriage, Madam Pei sighed, "It seems that the Pei Mansion is protected by His Majesty."
"Luo'er, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
Li Qingluo looked at Madam Pei, but she did not answer immediately.
Instead, she suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, Grandma! My granddaughter still has an important thing to do! Quick, get out of the city——"
