Chapter 1 What if the official wants you?
Chapter 1 What if Wei Chen wants you?
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed in Chang'an.
Wei Yunzhu, who was wearing a fiery red wedding dress, raised her hand to put on the back of the servant's hand, with a small part of her white and slender wrist exposed, and stepped out of the sedan chair slowly on the stool.
Nian Shuang, who helped her down, said with some worry: "Princess Princess, let's go. This person is unclear about good and evil and is too dangerous."
There were crystal tears on the girl's eyelashes, but her eyes shone with determination: "Let's go."
Today was supposed to be her wedding day.
Accidents can happen unexpectedly.
The King of Yue led his troops to the capital, broke through the Xuanwu Gate in one fell swoop, killed Emperor Wen of Zhou on the pretext of being sidelined by the Qing monarch, and placed the Queen Ajie and the young prince under house arrest in the palace.
And she, the princess, was carried into the Pei Mansion.
The power of the King of Yue was deeply entrenched. Looking at the entire Chang'an, the only one who could protect my sister, mother and son was the chief minister of the dynasty, Pei Ji.
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came forward and said respectfully: "Princess, please."
The guards led her into a main hall. This Pei Mansion was magnificent and magnificent, even more impressive than her Yun'an Palace.
But the scene in front of him struck Wei Yunzhu like five thunderbolts!
Pei Ji, who was sitting high on the throne, was chatting with several generals. Each of those generals had red satin tied on their arms, which was the symbol of the Yue King's rebels.
She staggered, and it turned out that she had entered a den of thieves!
One of the generals, who was fat and round, turned around and saw a girl in a wedding dress. She was so graceful and charming, which made him feel itchy in his heart.
Then he walked forward and said, "I heard that Princess Yun'an is getting married today. I guess this is Princess Yun'an who is famous all over the world. When I see her today, she is really beautiful!"
The glint in this man's eyes frightened Wei Yunzhu so much that she subconsciously wanted to run away.
But the general pulled her back violently, and said with a leering look: "With such a beautiful woman being used as a military prostitute, those boys will probably go crazy for three days and three nights!"
Seeing the girl shaking her head and shrinking back, he pulled her over roughly: "Little beauty, before I send you here, let me feel good first!"
Then he ignored the girl's fear and carried her on his shoulders: "Master Pei, I will take this woman away first!"
"Wait a minute." A cold voice came, and Pei Ji stood up and walked slowly towards the general.
When the general hesitated, a hand suddenly touched his other shoulder.
He tilted his head slightly, showing great disdain for this chief minister who was born in civil examination: "Is there anything else, sir?"
The hand on his shoulder slowly exerted force, as if to crush his bones. The general did not expect that he would be unable to bear it, so he put down the girl on his shoulder, turned around and whispered: "What do you mean?
!”
Pei Ji glanced at Wei Yunzhu, who was thrown heavily to the ground, and the gloom in his eyes became even more intense.
Without any warning, the sword was unsheathed and the sword was raised and dropped.
The general still maintained his disdainful expression just now, but he had already frozen. The sharp sword came from his shoulder and cut off his entire left shoulder and arm.
In an instant, a chilling atmosphere spread throughout the entire hall.
Wei Yunzhu was so frightened that she cried bitterly. She just took one look at the miserable state of the corpse and felt that she would have nightmares every night in the future!
The other generals who were showing off their power just now had their eyes widened and their legs felt weak.
Pei Ji turned to look at the frightened girl. He slowly knelt down and said in a voice that sounded like an invitation: "Your Highness, I just did this for you."
When Wei Yunzhu saw the sword lying in front of her, she immediately turned her head, tears burst into her eyes, and her teeth trembled.
Pei Ji suddenly felt like a child who had made a mistake, and quickly threw away the sword, feeling a little lonely: "The princess never wants to look at the humble minister."
"Even if the minister holds the lives of the queen and the prince in his hands..."
The man's murmur sounded, but to Wei Yunzhu, it was an argument that frightened her more than ghosts.
She mustered up her courage and slowly raised her head.
Her father died young, and she was taken into the palace by her elder sister since she was a child. She was taken care of carefully. No matter what, she must save her elder sister!
Wei Yunzhu reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve, and her pleading voice contained an uncontrollable tremor: "Master Chief Assistant! Please... let Sister A and Yan'er go, please!"
Pei Ji glanced at the cramped little hands and smiled softly: "I wonder what the princess wants to ask for from me?"
Wei Yunzhu burst into tears for a moment: "I will promise you anything, as long as you let Ajie and Yan'er go."
Pei Ji looked at the girl with tears on her face and put her hand on the cheek of the girl who thought about her day and night, a little cautiously.
But the paranoia in his eyes grew stronger: "Can the princess satisfy the humble minister no matter how arrogant his request is?"
Wei Yunzhu didn't understand what he said, and looked timidly at the man in front of her with tearful eyes.
Pei Ji couldn't help but get closer: "What if Wei Chen wants you?"
Hearing this, a terrible dynamite exploded in Wei Yunzhu's heart, and she subconsciously opened the distance between herself and the man.
Pei Ji showed a hurt expression, as if a little aggrieved: "Wei Chen will not force the princess."
He stood up and said casually to the stunned rebels: "Tell your master, the dog he raised made me feel bad, and now I have to double the chips."
A deputy general asked in a trembling voice: "Master Chief Assistant, then...the queen and the prince..."
Pei Ji looked indifferent: "It's up to you."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yunzhu suddenly realized something, and immediately rushed forward, hugged his arm, and cried: "I promise you! I promise you!"
But Pei Ji didn't move for a long time. She raised her head and took a cautious look. The man in front of her had another extremely gentle face.
"Two lives are in the hands of the princess. The princess must not go back on her word."
Wei Yunzhu bit her soft lips and nodded in humiliation.
Pei Ji smiled as if he was very satisfied, and then said to several generals: "Ask your master to come and talk to me personally about the matter of the queen and the prince."
After the rebels left, the guards cleaned up the bodies on the ground, but the smell of blood in the room was still strong, and no one dared to say a word.
Including Wei Yunzhu, she clearly had countless questions in her mind, but she didn't even have the courage to raise her head.
Pei Ji has always been someone she fears to the core of her being.
Especially at every royal banquet in the past, she had never dared to look directly at the sinister gaze that had been staring at her, nakedly predatory.
After a long time, Pei Ji raised his eyelids and looked at the girl in front of him. Could it be that he was a black and wind demon? How could he be so scared?
"look up."
An unhurried voice sounded, and Wei Yunzhu's heart trembled. She held her sleeves tightly with her hands and slowly raised her head.
Pei Ji looked at her with interest: "Don't you want to say something, Princess?"
"For example, how should Wei Chen talk to the King of Yue?"
Wei Yunzhu recalled the conversation he had just had with the rebels, and suddenly cried out in a tearful tone: "Pei Ji, are you a minister of Zhou Dynasty or a lackey of the King of Yue?"
After shouting, she realized that the man's hand holding the tea cup was suspended in mid-air.
She was like a little ostrich in an instant, wanting to withdraw her neck immediately. She shouldn't anger a devil!
For a long time, Wei Yunzhu's imagined rage did not come, but there was an unbearable smile on the corner of the man's mouth.
She was cautious and her voice was as low as a wounded cat: "You promised me, as long as I..."
"As long as you do?" The man deliberately emphasized the last two words, as if he meant something.
Wei Yunzhu glanced at him with some shame, her ears gradually turned red, she really couldn't say anything!
Pei Ji tilted his head, like a naughty child, waiting for the answer: "Huh?"
Wei Yunzhu's cheeks turned red because she was angry, and her face looked angry.
Pei Ji actually thought that the little rabbit with fried fur in front of him was extremely cute. He chuckled: "The princess wanted Wei Chen to help, but she looked at Wei Chen with a look of deep hatred. It's very difficult for Wei Chen to handle the princess like this.
So I have to hand over the prince and the queen."
He said these words carelessly, but Wei Yunzhu was frightened when she heard it. Her chest was a little uneven, as if she was holding back.
Pei Ji didn't intend to give her time to think, and urged: "The princess should know what to do, right?"
This rhetorical question completely pushed Wei Yunzhu into the endless abyss. A teardrop fell from the corner of her eye. At this time, how much is pride worth?
She slowly approached Pei Ji, her tight little hands trembled, biting her lower lip with her teeth, and knelt at his feet, with no pride at all: "Master Chief Assistant, I ask you to send troops to kill the king of Yue for rebelling against the party, and bring order to the chaos...
…”
After saying this vaguely, her shoulders trembled. Pei Ji looked at her eyelashes stained with tears and trembled slightly. She felt extremely wronged.
He put his hand on the girl's head, but the girl seemed to be extremely afraid of him and trembled violently.
Pei Ji paused and stroked her hair gently, his eyes crazy like a believer: "As long as the princess is willing, I am willing to do my best for the princess."
Looking at the girl who was crying more and more fiercely, he stood up and helped her up. She cried so much that she actually made herself feel damn guilty.
He leaned down and personally dusted off the dust from her skirt. His voice was inexplicably pious: "Honorable Princess Yun'an, how can you kneel down?"
Wei Yunzhu didn't understand his unreasonable words, and was only thinking about her sister's safety, so she subconsciously grabbed his sleeves, her voice trembling: "Are they okay now?"
Pei Ji's eyes wandered to the nervous little hands: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one dares to touch the queen and prince."
Hearing this, Wei Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly let go.
Today's series of blows made her unable to withstand the blows, and she fell down uncontrollably.
But the next second, she fell into a warm embrace, and she seemed to hear her sister's gentle call. Was everything today just a dream?
