After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 23: Use all means to make her surrender

Because Shiku came personally to deliver the message on behalf of King Yong, Xiao Dingzhao did not dare to disobey on his face, and obediently prepared for Pei Chuchu to leave the palace.

The two hundred thousand taels of silver rewarded were also converted into silver notes and delivered to Pei Chuchu.

The sleeping room is quiet and quiet, and the bamboo curtains of Xiang Fei are rolled up high.

Pei Chuchu wore a lotus purple Luo Ru skirt and a simple pony bun with just a white magnolia hairpin, and stood quietly in the room.

Things have been packed away, and mahogany boxes and cages are piled high and low on the ground. They contain gold, silver, and books accumulated over the years. The curtains, mattresses and other utensils in the inner room have also been removed.

The house I had lived in all these years now looked empty.

Pei Chuchu stretched out his hand and touched the white porcelain bottle on the window sill.

Seeing pear blossoms hanging low and as lush as snow outside the window, she casually broke off a branch and inserted it into the vase. The lonely bedroom seemed to be more interesting because of this pear blossom.

The girl deeply smelled the fragrance of pear blossoms.

She looked around the scenery outside the window for the last time, and took one last look at the dormitory where she had lived for more than ten years. She whispered: "Carry the cage out. The carriage is parked outside the yard."

Several eunuchs who had followed her for many years were reluctant to let her go. They lifted up the box and cage reluctantly with red eyes.

Pei Chu started to leave the dormitory.

Many palace maids had already gathered in the courtyard. They came forward with tears in their eyes: "Sister Pei..."

"Sister Pei, do you really want to leave? I can't bear to let you go!"

"What will happen to us sisters if you leave?"

"..."

They entered the palace since childhood, and they grew up together with Pei Chuchu, and they have a deep relationship.

Pei Chuchu prided himself on being hard-hearted, but he was still moved when parting was about to begin.

The ends of her eyes were red, and she held the hands of the palace maids to comfort them carefully.

The maids were afraid that she would not get used to living outside the palace, so they brought many gifts to give to each other. They filled two large baskets with handmade shoes, socks and dresses, snacks and fruits, etc.

Pei Chuchu thanked them before walking out of the courtyard.

Two carriages were parked outside the yard.

Pei Chuchu raised his eyes and looked around. He saw that the palace was so deep that she would never come back. There were many maids and eunuchs who came to see her off, as well as a few maids and father-in-laws who loved her, but the emperor and the eldest princess were nowhere to be seen.

Yesterday she went to Changle Palace to say goodbye to them, but the brother and sister disappeared behind closed doors together.

It will be cloudy and overcast today.

Pei Chuchu stood in front of the car and chatted with people. He couldn't help but look around the corners with his peripheral vision.

She is leaving, and she may not return to Chang'an for the rest of her life.

The emperor and the eldest princess...

Are you unwilling to see her even for the last time?

There was a little sadness in the girl's smile, but she held it back calmly.

At this time, Changle Palace.

The jade-white slender little hands gently rolled up the bead curtain.

Xiao Mingyue stepped into the inner hall with a plate of crystal-clear grapes. She looked at her brother who was sitting on the floor and reading chess records. The young man's face was calm and restrained, not panicking at all.

She sat across the table from him,

Put the grapes in his hand: "Eat."

Xiao Dingzhao closed the page and picked up a grape calmly: "Did my sister wash it with her own hands? Just ask the palace maid to do this kind of work. My sister should keep her fingers free of spring water."

Xiao Mingyue tilted her head: "Sister Pei... is leaving."

Xiao Dingzhao bit into pieces of grapes.

Grape juice is sweet and sour.

He picked up another one without finishing it: "She can't leave."

Xiao Mingyue tilted her head: "Why?"

Xiao Dingzhao looked out the window with a smile on his lips: "We'll see."

How could the woman who made him lustful just walk away like this?

I want to keep him by my side and use all possible means until she gives in.

Pei Chuchu's carriage drove slowly outside the palace.

The girl opened the curtains and looked at the familiar palaces fading away.

The majestic and splendid palace in the eyes of the world was a prison in her heart. Now that she was finally able to leave, although she was reluctant to leave, the more emotion in her heart was secret joy, and she also had hopes for the future. .

The palace alley is deep.

Pei Chuchu lowered his eyes and couldn't help clenching his hands.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Pei Chuchu motioned to the maid to roll up the car curtain.

In front of the towering vermilion palace gate, a group of imperial guards were waiting in full formation.

Pei Chuchu sat upright in the carriage and asked displeasedly, "What are you doing?"

The leader of the imperial guards raised his hands and said with a solemn expression: "A major incident broke out in the palace, and the culprit is in the palace. Therefore, His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to leave the palace!"

Pei Chuchu suddenly clenched his hands.

The palace is heavily guarded, what big crime could happen?

What's more, it would have happened sooner or later, but it happened on the day she left the palace. She never believed that there would be coincidences in a place like the palace. Could it be that...

The girl had a bad premonition in her heart and asked, "What big case?"

The commander of the imperial army raised his hand and motioned to his men to check Pei Chuchu's carriage and cage: "This is a case of corruption and bribery. Someone reported to Your Majesty that someone in the palace has been accepting bribes and nepotism all year round. The amount involved was huge. Your Majesty was furious, so he signaled for careful inspection and purged the harem! Pei! Girl, I'm sorry, please get out of the car so I can wait for the search."

Pei Chuchu held onto the carriage door frame with one hand.

The heart that was originally full of joy sank a little bit.

The corruption and bribery cases and the purge of the harem were all clearly aimed at her!

The emperor...

He refused to let her out of the palace!

The hand holding on to the carriage door frame slowly tightened, and his fingernails dug out crescent-shaped marks on the wooden frame. Even the fingertips turned bright red due to the excessive force.

Her breathing was rapid, and she got out of the car slowly after being urged by the guards.

She stood by the palace gate with a pale face, watching the guards search the carriage with cold eyes.

She burned that account book clean last night.

She didn't believe they could find anything.

While the girl was watching coldly, a guard got out of the carriage, held up the account book and shouted loudly: "Commander, we found it, we found the account book!"

Pei Chuchu's heart skipped a beat.

She raised her eyes and saw that the account book held by the Imperial Guard was clearly the one she had burned last night.

But……

How could something she burned with her own hands appear here? !

Another guard came over with a box of gold bars: "Commander, I also found this!"

The commander of the imperial guard briefly flipped through the account book, then looked at the gold bars, and looked at Pei Chuchu with a stern face: "Miss Pei, why don't you go to the imperial study room?"
