Chapter 274: Covering the Sky 1(1/2)
Qin Luoyu was thinking about these things slowly when he heard a gentle voice coming from the opposite side: "Miss, are you awake?"
Pei Song realized that she had woken up after hearing Qin Luoyu's sigh.
He wanted to call her Miss Fang, but she said that her surname was not Fang.
He thought, was it because the Fang family was afraid of being implicated by the Pei family and quickly cancelled the engagement that day, that she didn't want him to know her identity?
As soon as he thought of this, he removed the square character.
Seeing her trembling in the cold the night before the night before, he took the initiative to ask the prison guard for the first time and brought her a thick felt to cover it.
He served as the Minister of Justice for a period of time. Although he has become a prisoner, the Pei family case was ordered to be retried by the emperor, and there may be a possibility of overturning the case, so the prison guards dare not be too negligent.
However, as for whom she was named and what happened to her, no matter how he asked, the prison guard was just keeping his mouth shut and refused to say a word.
But I think that Mr. Fang must have been involved in something big, otherwise, how could he have implicated his daughter and been imprisoned in such a place?
When Qin Luoyu heard this voice, he looked in the sound and immediately became more energetic: "Shangshu Pei!"
Pei Song laughed at himself: "Pei is guilty and is no longer a minister of the Shang Dynasty."
Qin Luoyu knew that he had made a mistake. Seeing Pei Song's eyebrows and eyes were a little sad. Thinking of the sudden disaster in the Pei family, Prime Minister Pei died tragically, and he was locked up in such a place, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.
He couldn't help but persuade: "Young Master Pei, don't hurt yourself. I'm not sure that you will not be in a high position in the future? I'm afraid that you will be even more glorious than the Shangshu."
The future prime minister, the minister of the revival of Ling Kingdom, was a joke.
Pei Song whispered: "Pei dare not have such extravagant hopes. He only hopes to clear his father and the Pei family's grievances. His wish is enough for this life."
"Yes. Don't worry."
Qin Luoyu said confidently, "You can't stay in the imperial prison for a long time and you can definitely go out. When you go out again, you will have the chance to show your ambitions like Prime Minister Pei."
Pei Song looked at her in surprise, "Do you believe my father, is it innocent?"
Qin Luoyu nodded: "Prime Minister Pei served as Prime Minister of Ling Kingdom for fifteen years? He can be said to have done his best to do something unfavorable to Ling Kingdom. Will the emperor investigate clearly? He will give the Pei family a clean innocence."
Pei Song's heart was a bit complicated.
Although the emperor ordered a retrial of the Pei family case, there are afraid that few people in the government and the government do not think that their father is guilty.
It is just a matter of big or small sin, not a matter of guilt or not.
But she was afraid that she had never seen her father before, but she was sure that her father was innocent. How could she not move him?
Pei Song was silent for a moment and did not continue the topic? "How come the girl was also sent to the imperial prison?"
"I? I have committed a serious sin, a death sentence? an unforgivable sin."
Qin Luoyu's body didn't hurt so much, and he started talking nonsense, "Although I insisted that I had never done it, they just didn't believe it? They insisted on arresting me here, and there was nothing they could do."
Seeing that she said this, Pei Song clearly didn't want to tell the truth, so he didn't ask again.
Both of them were silent for a while, and they lowered their eyes, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
What Pei Song thought about Qin Luoyu didn’t know? But she was thinking about the details in the book herself? She wanted to find some opportunity to save herself.
She remembers that the plot of Ling Junxing in the book was not poisoned.
So when she saw Ling Junxing vomiting blood and fainting, she was completely confused. Who was the poisoner at that time? She had no clue.
But now when I think about it carefully, I have a look at it.
There was no one in the harem, one was Pei Zhenzhen and one of the granddaughters of Grand Master Zong whom he had never met.
In addition, the Empress Dowager and the Fifth Princess Ling Qingyan who occasionally enters and leaves the palace.
Although Ling Qingyan has a little arrogant temper, her mind is simple. She also has feelings for Ling Junxing, the second brother. I think she would not do such a thing that hurts Ling Junxing.
As for Concubine Chen, she stayed in her door and stayed away all day long since she entered the palace, and even Qin Luoyu had never seen what she looked like.
Although this woman will be a good character in the palace fighting in the future, Qin Luoyu does not think she has the courage to murder Ling Junxing now.
On the contrary, Pei Zhenzhen knelt down and begged for the matter of the Pei family and was rejected. It is unknown whether Ling Junxing turned from hatred because of love. It seems that she had a strong motivation to murder the emperor.
But first of all, Pei Zhenzhen is actually the same as Ling Qingyan. In addition to her love mind, her mind is not that complicated, otherwise she would not have failed in the palace battle and was pulled down from the position of queen;
Secondly, the kitchen is so strict that it is not only necessary to be scheming and courageous, but also to have some means.
Based on her understanding of Pei Zhenzhen, Pei Zhenzhen may only have the courage, but she still lacks too many scheming and means.
So if you can do this with your hands in the harem, just think about it and guess who it is.
Although he had guessed who the poisoner was, Qin Luoyu was still a little unbelievable.
After all, although this person has never fulfilled his mother's responsibilities to Ling Junxing, deep down in his heart, Ling Junxing still attaches great importance to and cares about his mother.
However, she can also be able to attack Ling Junxing.
If you don’t hesitate to poison Ling Junxing, it is naturally impossible to frame Qin Luoyu just to frame him, and there must be a deeper purpose behind it.
So what exactly did she mean?
Qin Luoyu was puzzled and simply gave up and then thought about who could help him. After thinking about this, he really thought of someone.
"Young Master Pei." Qin Luoyu looked at Pei Song, "You have been in the imperial prison for so long, is there anyone coming to see you?"
Pei Songwei was stunned and then said, "Yes."
The person who came to see Pei Song was named Ding Hua.
It was originally just a small judge of Dali Temple. Pei Song was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple when he accidentally saw a document from him and praised his talent.
After talking to him, he appreciated his talent and ability to do things, so he promoted him to the chief clerk of Dali Temple in an extraordinary manner.
Ding Hua lived up to Pei Song's expectations and did everything in an orderly and reliable manner.
After the two had a little contact with each other, Pei Song realized that Ding Hua was also his father's disciple back then.
Because of this love, when the Pei family was in trouble, Ding Hua was not afraid of being implicated and wrote a letter to plead for the Pei family.
The two disciples of Pei Yuandao were also pleaded with Ding Hua. As a result, the emperor was furious and imprisoned them in the imperial prison.
However, later the emperor ordered the Ministry of Personnel to re-examine the Pei family case, and they were all released.
Only Ding Hua was appointed as the chief clerk of Dali Temple and had some friendship with the Ministry of Justice, so he could find a little opportunity to visit Pei Song.
Qin Luoyu thought it was indeed Ding Hua.
When Pei Song later became the prime minister and the prime minister, Ding Hua was Pei Song's capable subordinate.
She listened to the dim prison path intently, and confirmed that there was no voice around her, so she lowered her voice and said, "If Master Ding comes to see you again, I want Master Ding to help me find someone."
Pei Song was slightly surprised: "Who?"
"The Imperial Army and the Imperial Army are in charge, and Zhan Shaogang."
*
The emperor has not attended court for five consecutive days, which is something that has never happened since Lingjun Xing ascended the throne.
Whether in the court or in private, no minister could meet the emperor.
The Empress Dowager only summoned Prime Minister Huangfu Yan to the palace and said that the emperor was in good health and was recuperating. General state affairs will be temporarily handled by the Prime Minister's Office in the Cabinet. Important matters can be reported to Qianyuan Palace as usual.
The court officials were talking a lot, and they didn't know what disease the emperor had, so they were uneasy.
Although Zhu Junyan, the Minister of Justice, felt like a mirror in his heart, how could he dare to reveal a word?
After all, the Empress Dowager ordered the Ministry of Justice to interrogate secretly, but some revealed that the emperor was poisoned and unconscious, and he would be killed without mercy.
The court officials were discussing in panic, but there was no other way.
Wei Wuji, who was in the cavalry camp, did not know that the emperor had not attended court.
During this period, Wei Wuji stayed in Beidaying and Xidaying, inspecting and supervising the training and defense affairs of the Sword Cavalry Camp.
Because Zhan Shaogang was involved in Zhai Mu's defection, he later pleaded for Zhai Mu and lost his position as a general of the Cavalry Camp, he had to rectify military affairs and strictly enforce military discipline, so he stayed in the military camp for some time.
Until he received an emergency military report, Wei Wuji did not dare to delay and returned overnight and asked to see the emperor.
However, for the first time in history, he was stopped outside the palace gate.
The imperial guards at the arch guard did not allow him to enter, but only took his urgent report and said they would send it to Qianyuan Palace. "We are waiting."
Wei Wuji had to wait.
The report he submitted to Qianyuan Palace was an emergency military situation, and it should have received a reply on the same day.
However, after waiting for five days, he finally received a belated reply, with only four words on it: "Wait until it changes."
These four characters are not written by the emperor. It is said that the emperor is not in good health, so it was written by the eunuch Bingbi.
Wei Wuji finally realized something was wrong.
The urgent report he submitted came from the North.
After the country was destroyed decades ago, the barbarians all moved to other parts of the Ling Kingdom, and the remaining barbarians were also scattered in the wild deserts of the North, and they were still quite obedient in the past few years.
However, recently, these originally scattered northern barbarians have a faint tendency to gather together.
Their gathering place is located in Pingliang City.
Pingliang City was the former capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, and later became a city garrisoned by Ling Kingdom.
