After Pei Qi left the main hall, he was about to go to the prison to pick Jiang Mingcang out, but halfway, he was stopped by Ji Yun.

Pei Qi also knew his intention, but he was still polite: "Fang is in the middle of the court, thank you Gonggong Ji for your help." ”

Ji Yun bowed his head, although he was respectful on his face, but there was always some coldness in his words: "The national teacher's thanks, the slave can't stand it." ”

"I only hope that the national teacher can keep his promise and hand over the antidote to the eight princes to the minions."

Ji Yun had nothing to do with her, and being able to help her today was nothing more than a private deal between the two.

Pei Qi raised his hand, helped Ji Yun's slightly bent body up, turned his back to Jiang Lingfeng and Cui Shaogong, and said lightly: "Can Lord Taiwei and the second prince avoid it first?" I have something to say that I want to talk to Gonggong Ji alone. ”

Some misunderstandings about the first emperor.

"Okay, let's go to the prince's side and wait for you first." Cui Shaogong nodded, and then left quickly with Jiang Lingfeng.

Pei Qi turned around and raised his feet slightly: "Gonggong Ji, you might as well accompany me for a while." ”

Pei Qi omitted the title of his national teacher and replaced the wording with "I", so that their subsequent words had nothing to do with their identity.

Ji Yun pursed her lips, not knowing what she wanted to do, but she still followed.

The corridor in the palace is very long, and Pei Qi's steps are very slow, so this road is enough for them to walk for a long time.

Pei Qi stuffed the board in his hand to Yun Lian, and opened his mouth with unknown intentions: "Gonggong Ji should still hate the first emperor now." ”

Ji Yun was slightly stunned, never thought that Pei Qi would suddenly say this.

He recalled the appearance of the first emperor, the fist in his hand clenched unconsciously, and there was a little imperceptible forbearance in his tone: "The first emperor has passed away, what do I hate, what if I don't hate." ”

"No, you hate him." Pei Qi didn't seem to want his ambiguous answer, so he vetoed him instantly, and asked, "Then do you know, how did I know the secret between you and Concubine Xue?" ”

Then he threatened him with this incident to help hide the fact that his daughter was in danger.

Ji Yun paused, raised his head to look at Pei Qi's back who was still walking forward, and was silent.

It seemed to be waiting for Pei Qi's answer.

"It was the day the Eighth Prince was born, the first emperor told me, and he already knew about you and Concubine Xue."

As soon as Pei Qi's words fell, Ji Yun's body was shocked, and the step that was about to take a step to catch up with Pei Qi was also stuck in place.

He had thought of countless reasons why Pei Qi knew about it, but he didn't think that it was the first emperor......

How is this possible?

"You're lying to me." Ji Yun couldn't believe it: "If he knows about me and Xue'er, how can he tolerate a private meeting between the palace concubine and the eunuch?" Cher and I have already been beheaded by him! ”

The emperor's 3,000 harem, he doesn't touch it, even if he dies in the palace, others don't want to get involved, once he is discovered, he will only die.

"Yes, why......" Pei Qi also stopped, as if he had lost his mind, and murmured: "On the day the eighth prince was born, I was summoned into the imperial study by the first emperor, and even congratulated the first emperor on getting the dragon heir again, but the first emperor was not happy, he told me that he had never touched the snow concubine, even if he stayed in her palace, but he only slept with the quilt." ”

"Xue Fei Niangniang guarded her chastity for a man, and that night she was forced to die, and complained about the injustice of fate under the majesty of an emperor, although the first emperor did not condemn herself, but since then, she has never been to the palace of Xue Fei Niangniang."

"So the eighth prince, how can he be his son?"

Pei Qi turned around, faced Ji Yun, and took two steps towards him: "Half a month after Concubine Xue entered the palace, there was an extra person named Ji Yun in the roster of eunuchs, although I don't know how you got into the palace and how you escaped purification, but these are not important. ”

"The important thing is that before the palace concubine enters the palace, everyone will go through strict screening, and Concubine Xue has a childhood sweetheart named Ji Yun, and naturally she can't hide it from the first emperor. It's just that you claim to be smart and think that everything you do is impeccable, but how can he not know anything when he is in the position of the emperor? ”

However, in the end, the first emperor chose to turn a blind eye and turn the page on this matter, and Ji Yun's secret was also suppressed by the first emperor.

Ji Yun's eyes were glazed, and in Pei Qi's words, he recalled every scene in the palace for so many years.

If what Pei Qi said is true, then ......

The first emperor even gave him and Xue'er the title of child!

Why? Shouldn't he have cut off the heads of a group of people in a fit of rage?

After a long time, Ji Yun came back to his senses from the shock, with disbelief and panic on his face.

He approached Pei Qi's side, as if he wanted to seek an explanation: "I still don't understand, if he already knew the reason why I entered the palace, why would he promote me layer by layer, even ...... Or even keep me around to do things? ”

"Because you can only have power if you are on the side of the king. Only with power can you protect Concubine Xue. Pei Qi's voice was very weak, but Ji Yun heard it clearly.

He was still confused: "Xue'er betrayed him, why did he want to protect him?" ”

Pei Qi's thoughts wandered, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Obviously, as an emperor, he is in charge of the life and death of ten thousand people, and he must not be deceived or disobeyed, but he is willing to give up the dignity of the emperor, tolerate the affair of the palace concubines and eunuchs, and even secretly help him.

Why?

Xu Yes......

"Xu Yes, he was stumped by the pride of the emperor, and he couldn't protect the people he loved, so he couldn't bear to look at others like him."

Qiulan Villa, on the cliff, the queen mother had disappointment in her eyes, and the scene of jumping in front of him may be the pain of his life.

Ji Yun didn't understand the meaning of Pei Qi's words, and he didn't want to explore the past of the first emperor.

However, if he didn't have the power given by the first emperor, he would not have been able to drop the bag between Concubine Xue and the palace maid, and Concubine Xue may have entered the imperial mausoleum now and accompanied the first emperor to be buried.

"Then now, do you still hate the first emperor?" Pei Qi came back to his senses, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Ji Yun followed, his thoughts were confused, and he spoke for a long time: "You help him talk like this, even if I don't hate it, I won't be grateful." ”

"If he didn't have Na Xue'er as a concubine and forced her to enter the palace, we wouldn't have spent half of our lives in this palace."

"Huh." Pei Qi smiled inexplicably, but she didn't mean to complain about Ji Yun.

Just looked at the blurred scenery in front of him, and sighed softly: "What the ministers want, what the queen mother is compelling, how can the emperor choose to accept concubines." ”

Tens of thousands of people respect, many helpless, no one to confide.

He's done enough.

"By the way, after the birth of the eighth prince, the first emperor has one more thing to give me." Pei Qi tilted his head sideways and said to Ji Yun: "He asked me to find an opportunity to send you out of the palace with Concubine Xue and the Eighth Prince, but because of Concubine Xue's identity, I have nothing to do." ”

"But now it's okay, you stole Concubine Xue and replaced it with a palace maid, which saved me trouble."

"In a few days, a fire will burn in the bedroom of the Eighth Prince, and the day the news of death comes, it will be the time when you leave the palace.

After explaining the last thing, Pei Qi sped up his steps with the support of Yun Lian.

She had been delayed here for a long time, and the prince was still waiting for her.

"Wait a minute!" Ji Yun still didn't know anything, so he stopped her from behind: "Why are you telling me this today?" ”

"Well......" Pei Qi slowed down, as if thinking about how to answer him: "Probably because I am a courtier, and I don't want the first emperor to be blindly hated by anyone." ”

"Not a single eunuch."

Looking at Pei Qi's back as he walked away, Ji Yun didn't know what he was thinking, he only knew that he was standing in place and stayed for a long time.

In the end, he saw Yun Lian beside Pei Qi turn his head, put one hand to his lips, and said to him from a distance: "That ......"

"My family said that what the eldest princess gave to the eighth prince was not poison, but just a jelly bean!"
