Chapter 86 Pei Shangshu complains
royal palace, royal study
The empress was sitting on the dragon throne, reviewing memorials.
At this time, the voice of the palace servant came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Personnel Pei requests an audience!"
"Invite her in."
Palace attendant: "Yes."
After a while, Pei Han walked in from outside the hall.
As soon as he saw the empress, he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for this old minister!"
The empress was startled and looked up from the table: "What happened to Pei Aiqing?"
Pei Han kowtowed excitedly and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and seek justice for my daughter!"
The Empress asked with a confused look on her face and a slightly gloomy expression.
"What injustice has Lord Pei suffered that you want me to seek justice for you?"
Pei Han looked up, his wrinkled face covered with tear marks, and cried.
"Your Majesty, do you know that today is the day my daughter Pei Yu will be married?"
The empress nodded slightly: "I have heard something."
"Your Majesty, today was supposed to be a happy day for my Pei Mansion, but unexpectedly, the King of Beichen went too far!"
The empress was stunned: "What does this have to do with King Beichen?"
Pei Han stood up and said angrily, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Beichen blocked the way in the street to grab the bride, injured the people who were welcoming the bride from the Pei Mansion, and took my son's husband away!"
"I have only one daughter like this. She finally married a close friend, but she has to suffer such a great humiliation!"
Pei Han cried bitterly and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please seek justice for my daughter!"
"There is such a thing!"
The empress's face was shocked, her sharp eyes were shining, her thoughts were turning over and over in her mind, and then she calmed down.
He looked at Pei Han and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Pei Aiqing, I will definitely take care of this matter for you. You get up first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Pei Han wiped his tears and stood up.
The empress glanced sideways and said in a deep voice, "Come here, pass on the order to let Prince Beichen enter the palace."
The palace attendant bowed and said, "Yes!"
Royal Garden
Princess Ji Xuan led her entourage out of Fengjun Palace, passed through the Imperial Garden, and bumped into Ji Fengwu who was entering the palace.
"Hey~ Isn't this the Second Princess? Why don't you show respect to me when you see me? Where did you learn these rules?"
Ji Fengwu's eyes flashed with sinisterness and her body bent slightly.
"Greetings, Imperial Sister~" Ji Xuan looked down at Ji Fengwu condescendingly and said with a smile.
"Second Princess, please be more careful next time. Don't lose your manners and make people think that you are so uneducated."
Ji Fengwu clenched her sleeves tightly and her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Imperial sister...I am grateful for your advice."
"Hmph, let's go~"
Ji Xuan left with her followers.
Ji Fengwu stood up and stared at the direction where Ji Xuan left with a cold look.
"Second Prince, the Princess doesn't take you seriously. Ever since she presented the nine-petal silver lotus to Lord Feng on his birthday, the Princess has gained power in the court and has become more arrogant and domineering."
After hearing Qin San's words, Ji Fengwu sneered.
"Heh~"
"She won't be so proud for long~"
Ji Fengwu stood with her hands behind her back, and asked coldly, "How is the task I asked you to do going?"
Qin San replied in a low voice: "According to the Second Prince's instructions, I have already done it. The Pei Mansion should be very busy now."
Indeed, the Pei Mansion was in chaos.
Pei Shangshu's husband Li Yunzhen was deeply saddened by the bride-kidnapping incident and sent away the guests who came to his house to congratulate him.
At this time, a servant came running over in a hurry.
"My lord, something's wrong!"
“The…the eldest lady…she…she can’t take it anymore!”
"what!"
Li Yunzhen's face changed drastically, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. His body went limp and he almost fell down.
"My husband."
The servant beside him quickly supported him.
Li Yunzhen hurriedly pushed the person away and ran towards the inner courtyard.
"Yu'er!"
A group of family members and relatives behind him hurriedly followed.
Arriving at Pei Yu's yard, Li Yunzhen hurriedly walked into the room.
All the servants in the room knelt on the ground in fear, and lowered their heads when they saw their husband.
"My husband~"
Pei Yu's room was filled with a strong smell of medicine and a bit of fishy stench, which almost made the people who followed him feel nauseous.
