Wei Yunzhu fell ill when he returned and had a fever all night.

When it gradually became brighter outside, Pei Ji drove away the maids who had been busy.

The girl on the couch trembled violently, the broken hair on her forehead was wet with sweat, and she kept crying, as if she was experiencing a nightmare.

Indeed, the woman lying in a pool of blood in the dream was crawling toward her in pain. She stretched out her hands in grief and called for help...

"Sister! Sister, save me..."

Pei Ji gently held the girl's hand. The girl seemed to feel the warmth and immediately shrank into his arms. Her voice was helpless and fragile: "Zhuzhu is really scared..."

Pei Ji held her in his arms, feeling her trembling.

Did it scare her yesterday?

Throughout the night, he heard her weak sobs and hasty sobs countless times.

Maybe, I shouldn't be so anxious.

This situation lasted until evening, when Wei Yunzhu woke up from a nightmare.

There were tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She breathed lightly for a while, then gradually woke up, and her eyes turned a little hollow.

"Princess Princess..."

The man's voice made Wei Yunzhu suddenly realize that her hand was still being held by him. Huge fear burst out in her eyes, and she stood up suddenly, broke away, and shrank towards the corner of the bed.

A small face stubbornly tilted to one side, not daring to look directly.

However, Pei Ji approached her very slowly, leaned down, stretched out his hand to straighten her little face that was tilted to one side, and forced her to look directly at him.

"Never try to fight a weak minister."

The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly and she didn't dare to reply.

The sick girl added a touch of fragility, making her beauty even more breathtaking. Pei Ji really liked it when he looked at it, but the resistance on her face made him extremely unhappy.

"Those who are humble ministers should be obedient."

"Wei Chen hopes that what happened yesterday is the last time. Otherwise, the consequences will not be something the princess can bear." He warned in a low voice.

The girl's body was trembling, and the lingering scene from last night appeared in her mind again, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Pei Ji didn't mean to comfort her at all. He was like a seasoned hunter, staring at his little prey, waiting for her to surrender.

Only when it really hurts once can you remember it for a long time, right?

No one understands how excited he is at the moment.

In the bloody, fighting, and precarious life, a person who is completely different from him suddenly appears.

She is aloof, pure and noble like the Nine Heavens Saint, but she is extremely weak. Immediately, immediately this person will voluntarily serve you, and from now on, she will completely belong to you.

What kind of redemption is this?

So he owned her at all costs to satisfy his greed.

At this moment, he didn't touch her at all, he just put his hands on top of her body, covering her with a shadow, and used his nose in an almost perverted way to smell the fragrance from her body.

This kind of scrutiny left the girl powerless to resist, unable to bear the naked gaze, and her whole body trembled.

Finally, that provocative breath caused her inner persistence to collapse.

Tears burst into tears, accompanied by her broken nod.

Pei Ji raised a clear smile, placed a kiss on the girl's forehead as a reward, and rubbed her hair with his calloused palms.

After a long while, he spoke: "Good girl."

Wei Yunzhu's tense body relaxed completely, and she was sobbing and shaking at the same time.

"How pitiful." Pei Ji smiled lowly and pulled the girl into his arms.

Finally, he no longer restrained her body and allowed her to fall softly on his chest, sobbing continuously.

Gu Yanyi also walked through the gates of hell and fought to his death before escaping.

At this time, the doctor had already bandaged him, and the steward beside him couldn't help but said: "Master, this lady's illness has not been cured yet, why did you get into this kind of trouble again? Why don't you go to Da Ci'en Temple?"

, so I can ask for a good sign..."

But before he could say anything, Gu Yanyi spit out a mouthful of blood!

This frightened all the servants into panic, but Gu Yanyi waved his hand: "Prepare the sedan, I want to enter the palace to meet the Queen."

The steward said "Hey!" "Sir, please don't bother, at least you have to wait until tomorrow."

He can't wait any longer.

Yesterday, the moment the princess was caught in the sedan chair by Pei Ji, he had already acted cowardly.

This time, he wants Pei Ji to die!

Kunning Palace.

After listening to Gu Yanyi's statement, Wei Yunqing suddenly stood up, her whole body shaking with anger.

The pearl she had always held in her palm unexpectedly fell into the clutches of the devil. She was ashamed of her father and mother!

But what can she do in her current situation of being isolated?

"Shilang Gu, do you have any ideas?"

Gu Yanyi immediately said: "Queen, the King of Yue will personally preside over the ceremony of worshiping the heaven next month on the grounds of ancestral etiquette. At that time, as long as we force Pei Ji to take action and fight with the King of Yue, the situation will definitely tilt towards us.

.”

The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was presided over by the "Emperor". If the King of Yue wanted to successfully ascend the throne, passing the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was the most direct way.

Wei Yunqing thought for a while and said, "But Pei Ji is not stupid. He will never take such a big risk."

Gu Yanyi's face showed a trace of cruelty: "Queen, don't worry, the humble minister will have his own solution to this matter."

"It's just that when the time comes, the queen will be needed to help me."

Before Gu Yanyi left, Wei Yunqing said to him with some sadness: "I hope that Gu Shilang can go to Pei Ji's promotion banquet in three days."

"When the time comes, remember to help me take a good look at Zhu Zhuer and see if she is doing well..."

at the same time.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Pei Ji looked at the reports submitted by various states and counties with a deep expression on his face.

The floods in the south of the Yangtze River have made the situation of the victims worse and worse. Several nearby states are already without food. In addition, a large number of refugees have poured northward into Chang'an. All states and counties are now in dire straits.

Feng Wenxian, the censor of Jiangnan Province, was summoned to Beijing overnight to discuss fundraising for disaster relief.

"Sir, the five hundred thousand taels allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs have been used by my subordinates to buy food from wealthy households near the disaster area and transport it to the disaster area. However, they have to rescue the victims and build embankments, which is a drop in the bucket..."

Pei Ji thought for a moment and then immediately said: "I will immediately ask for an order to make you an imperial minister and go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to raise funds to buy grain and help the victims to survive the winter."

When Feng Wenxian came out of Wenyuan Pavilion, his regular attendant Shang Zhong had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at Pei Ji who was rushing to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he said with sincere admiration: "Shang Zhong, this man has become a very popular minister at a young age, and his thunderous methods will be immeasurable in the future."

He was a lonely minister who was single-handedly promoted by Pei Ji three years ago. At that time, the chief minister was only a fourth-rank official, so he went to Jiangnan alone to investigate the Jiangnan treasury embezzlement case.

See you now, he is already a very popular minister, controlling almost all the military forces in the south. This year, he also began to intervene in the military and political affairs of the north...

"elder brother."

A crisp female voice interrupted his thoughts. He took a closer look and immediately stepped forward in surprise: "Weier, why are you here?"

Feng Wei handed the food box in her hand to Feng Wenxian: "Brother, you have finally returned to Beijing and you are not going home. Wei'er can only..."

Speaking of this, the corners of her eyes were already a little moist, and Feng Wenxian looked distressed. He and his sister had been dependent on each other since childhood, and now they rarely see each other, which makes him very sad.

"Eh? What is that?" Feng Wenxian accidentally saw a food box in the hand of the maid behind Feng Wei, and became a little curious.

Feng Wei looked a little shy. She lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks slightly red: "Brother... Lord Chief Assistant... is he still there?"

Feng Wenxian looked at his sister's attitude towards such a young daughter, and smiled knowingly, pointing to the road ahead: "Go, the Chief Assistant just went to the Ministry of Industry, and he must not be far away."

Feng Wei's eyes burst with surprise, and she immediately saluted and ran forward quickly.

Pei Ji held a letter in his hand and was about to enter the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry when a young female voice came from behind him.

"Lord Chief Assistant!"

The sound caused him to stop. Just as he turned around, he was almost hit by a woman, and he subconsciously helped her up.

I saw the girl breathing rapidly, her slightly round face showing innocence, and she looked like she was running in a hurry.

Feng Wei was also startled, a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks, and her whole body looked awkward and uneasy.

Li Yi, who was standing by, was horrified. The chief minister always hated the touch of women, except of course the one in the mansion.

Sure enough, Pei Ji's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand to shake off her touch. He even frowned and dusted his sleeves, looking exactly at the place Feng Wei had just touched.

Feng Wei didn't expect it. She staggered a few times before she regained her balance. She looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her, but her face became even redder.

"Sir, this is the pepper pork belly soup cooked by my daughter. It is very stomach-warming..."

Seeing that the girl had already taken the food box in a panic and handed it over, Li Yi hurriedly smoothed things over and took it: "Miss Feng, sir, you have other important matters."

That night, after the third watch, Pei Ji had just finished discussing with the officials from the Ministry of Work. As soon as he got up, he heard Li Yidao: "Sir, the soup that Miss Feng just sent..."

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows: "Miss Feng?"

It turned out that he didn't remember who the woman was just now, so Li Yi could only remind her: "She is Lord Feng Wenxian's sister."

Pei Ji nodded and glanced at the food box: "Throw it away."
