Chang'an really ushered in the biggest thunderstorm ever. The lightning was followed by a downpour. At three moments, the night sky is like a huge black curtain, bringing people endless depression.

The door of Dali Temple was kicked from the outside, alarming the guards who had fallen asleep.

The official was trembling in the rain and opened the door, "Who is so bold and daring...", the words were blocked in his throat, and outside the door was a white-clothed eunuch who was as white and gloomy as midnight impermanence.

"Your Majesty Xuan Pei Tan will enter the palace immediately to meet you!" The eunuch's whole body was drenched, and his white face was like a wild ghost.

I can't wait for a moment, it's immediately, and I will enter the palace immediately.

Pei Tan only had time to put on a piece of clothing, and he asked his subordinates to take the official uniform, but the eunuch said in a strange manner: "Your Majesty asked Pei Siqing not to delay for a moment, is it trying to resist the decree like this?" ”

If he didn't agree with him, he said that he would resist the decree, Pei Tan glanced at the eunuch, this wind and rain were urgent, which seemed to make Pei Tan feel a little wrong.

Zhongzong summoned urgently, and even did not draft a holy decree, and directly passed on the edict.

couldn't wait to change into official clothes, Pei Tan tied the belt of his clothes so that he would not lose his honor in front of the palace, and said to the eunuch: "Let's go." ”

As soon as Pei Tan left, all the remaining people in Dali Temple woke up in shock, and the officials who reacted first immediately rushed towards Shen Xingwen's house.

Before he reached the door, the door was opened, and Shen Xingwen appeared at the door wearing a robe.

He stared at the official in silence: "What happened?" ”

The official turned pale and shook his head desperately: "The subordinates don't know. ”

No one knows, including Pei Tan. But something happened, and everyone smelled it in the air.

"Lord Sicheng, there is a letter this..."The speaker was a servant who was guarding the gate just now, holding a letter that had been wet in his hand, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, "At the beginning of the night tonight, someone sent this letter, because the adults are resting, and the subordinates originally planned to hand it over tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xingwen snatched the letter, but suddenly squinted when he saw the name on the letter.

The official lowered his head: "This is, this is a letter to that Jing girl...

”

In the evening, someone sent a letter to Jing Wan'er alone.

The official trembled and remembered that the person who delivered the letter had told him that he must hand it over to Jing Wan'er immediately. But at that moment, he was napping, what was the importance of a letter, and he promised to immediately block the person who delivered the letter at the door.

"My subordinates think that this letter should have nothing to do with the adult's entry into the palace..."

The next moment, Shen Xingwen tore open the letter in front of him, took out the letter inside, and swept the contents with his eyes. At that moment, there was a dark light in his eyes, and suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked a gloomy smile.

When the official saw it, he was afraid that he would really get into trouble, could it be that there was really something important written in this letter?

In particular, the enemy may have been alerted.

Jing Wan'er struggled to push open the door that was crushed by the storm, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Xingwen standing at the door in the rain.

Shen Xingwen shook off the letter in his hand, and his squinted eyes were full of danger: "Why did someone send a letter to let you leave Dali Temple at night?" Can you explain? ”

Jing Wan'er stared at Shen Xingwen, her eyes glistening, "What did you say?" ”

Jing Wan'er had a shallow sleep, and this thunderstorm passed by from the first lightning

By the time, she had already woken up with heart palpitations.

And the doors and windows were almost blown over, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, so she felt that she had to leave regardless of it.

Shen Xingwen blocked the door, just like his first rude behavior, it was all a question to Jing Wan'er.

Only then did Jing Wan'er barely move her gaze to the almost soaked letterhead, and her eyes jumped subconsciously.

Shen Xingwen said quietly: "You admit... I've been teaching myself privately with outsiders, right? ”

He put the "ironclad evidence" closer to Jing Wan'er's eyes, and he didn't write anything clearly on the letter, only scribbled a sentence, so that Jing Wan'er would leave Dali Temple tonight no matter what, which made people feel more and more confused.

Jing Wan'er stared at the letter, and confusion gradually appeared on her face.

Shen Xingwen said coldly: "Don't pretend." ”

Jing Wan'er looked at him and subconsciously asked, "What about adults?" ”

Shen Xingwen stared at her face: "The adult is not in the mansion." ”

Jing Wan'er forced to recall, the font on the letter paper was scribbled, and it was written in a hurry, but the word... It should be Zichan'er.

Before she could take a closer step to think deeply, Shen Xingwen had already said: "Is it that Shen Mou came one step later, and Miss Jing has really left Dali Temple?" ”

Jing Wan'er looked at Shen Xingwen and said word by word: "I will not leave Dali Temple, let alone go anywhere." ”

Shen Xingwen's face was expressionless: "Then how do you explain the matter on the letter?" Let's talk about it... Who sent you the letter? ”

Jing Wan'er only had a steady stream of bad premonitions, "You said that the adults are not in the mansion, where did the adults go?" ”

Shen Xingwen's eyes wandered over Jing Wan'er's face, wondering if she was pretending.

"Your Excellency has just been summoned to the palace by the Holy Decree."

Jing Wan'er was stunned, anyone who was summoned away on a bad rainy night was very abnormal. Zichan'er wouldn't send the message in such a hurry, so something must have happened outside. And all of them were trapped in Dali Temple, and they didn't know anything about the news outside.

Jing Wan'er looked at Shen Xingwen: "You are now the Dali Temple, you should immediately find out the reason why the adults entered the palace." ”

Shen Xingwen said for a while: "You command me? ”

Being commanded by a girl is not a face-saving thing.

Jing Wan'er also looked at him: "You believed me last time and caught Hu Chao who was absconding." What do you have to lose by believing in me again? ”

Besides, questioning Jing Wan'er is small, he himself suspected that this letter was because it had anything to do with Pei Tan's sudden entry into the palace, since Jing Wan'er denied it now, the top priority was naturally to figure out the reason.

So Shen Xingwen stared at Jing Wan'er for a long time and was silent.

Jing Wan'er said, "Give me a bamboo umbrella." ”

Shen Xingwen stared at her: "What are you going to do." ”

Jing Wan'er was not afraid of his staring: "Only when I see my friend can I know why she wrote such a letter." ”

Shen Xingwen squinted: "You want to escape?" ”

Jing Wan'er looked at him and said, "After Shen Gongzi became a temple master, he didn't even have a good brain?" Let's not say that such a heavy rain will inevitably be under martial law in the whole city, I don't have customs clearance documents, where can I escape? It's just that I want to leave, I'm still wearing the identity of a guilty palace maid, and after the rain stops, the forbidden army will search the whole city, can I change myself out of the city? ”

I have to say that Shen Xingwen stemmed from his prejudice against Jing Wan'er, and any hesitation and distrust from his heart was magnified.

Shen Xingwen said slowly after a long time: "With such a heavy rain, it is difficult to walk an inch, and you can't go far if you give you a bamboo umbrella." On the contrary, it can be dangerous to travel on rainy nights. ”

Jing Wan'er was a little sincere when she heard this, and she was silent for a moment, "But now we don't know what happened outside, and why the adults were suddenly summoned to the palace." ”

Shen Xingwen rolled up his sleeves: "Think about how the adults forced Hu Chao to comply, any trouble, the adults can handle it." ”

At least until the rain stops, Pei Tan can still do it.

——

Pei Tan knelt in Zichen Hall all night, and he didn't allow him to change his soaked clothes. By the time it was a little light outside, the body temperature had already dried up the clothes.

"I heard that since the marriage, you have never taken the initiative to visit the Guanglu Temple?"

Pei Tan's forever kneeling back was straight, and he said for a while: "It's rude." ”

He didn't say that he tried the case for days, and he still handled the case of the prince requested by Zhongzong, no matter what the reason, it was he who was rude first.

Zhongzong's face did not ease at all: "Guang Luqing personally posted, and you didn't show up?" Pei Tan, how dissatisfied are you with this marriage? ”

Pei Tan remained motionless, and his expression did not react.

His voice slowly in the hall: "The minister knows that he is not worthy of the county lord, and he wanted to wait for the truth of the prince's case to be revealed before asking His Majesty for an order, but I didn't know that things would turn out like this." ”

Zhongzong sneered: "So you admit it?" Did you want to get out of the marriage from the beginning, or do you want to resist the will? ”

What wait for the prince's case to be revealed, these words touched Zhongzong's angry nerves even more. Especially as soon as the holy decree was issued that day, Pei Tan immediately entered the palace at night, hoping to take back the holy decree.

Zhongzong's voice raised: "You treated the Tang County Lord coldly for the sake of a guilty palace maid, is this also true?" ”

Pei Tan raised his clear eyebrows: "There is no such thing." ”

Zhongzong was not angry but laughed: "Someone saw with their own eyes that you and the palace maid were entangled in the streets of Chang'an during the day, do you want to say that everyone has wronged you now?" ”

Pei Tan's face was pale, and he looked at Zhongzong: "The minister doesn't." ”

If it was in the past, Zhongzong naturally believed that Pei Tan was a person, but now it is different.

"Now that the witnesses have said it in a conclusive way, do you still deny it?! Do you want me to call witnesses to you? ”

The city is full of wind and rain, how can Pei talk about one or two sentences of defense to prove himself. It is rumored that as long as one thing is true, everyone will believe that everything is true.

Pei Tan quickly calmed down, he and Jing Wan'er appeared on Chang'an Avenue at the same time, when he was handling the case of cheating in the examination room, as for the so-called "entanglement" on the street...

Pei Tan already understood how all this was caused. When he and Jing Wan'er secretly went to the restaurant to search for clues, and when they jumped off the wall, they didn't expect to fall into the eyes of a third person...

Zhongzong was obviously annoyed, he never thought that letting Jing Wan'er stay in Dali Temple would leave such a disaster now.

He trembled and pointed at Pei Tan: "Even I want you to handle the prince's case... This case, you are because you are involved in the Jing family and want to overturn the case for the daughter of the Jing family, so you will accept it? ”

Pei Tan had a deep shock in his eyes, and raised his eyes to look at Zhongzong,

It seems inconceivable that His Majesty would speculate on him in this way.

The look in Pei Tan's eyes obviously made Zhongzong pause. However, the fire in Zhongzong's heart was really too hot, and he didn't expect that one of his most trusted courtiers would make such an embarrassing situation for him to deal with.

"I value your Dali Temple so much..."Zhongzong held his forehead and sat down dejectedly.

How convincing is it now.

In this way, the prince's case is destined to fail to make the Tang Dynasty's ministers obedient.
