MTL - After Wearing a Book, I Pampered Five Big Villains-Chapter 544 Shock

  Chapter 544 Full court shock

   Imperial Physician Zhou was stunned.

What?

be honest?

   In other words, Mr. Pei gave up struggling?

   Imperial Physician Zhou blinked his eyes, and looked at the handsome "Little Langjun" in front of him very seriously.

  This "little man" also winked at him.

  The two stared at each other like this, inexplicably deadlocked for a long time.

  Pei Yi's inner activity is: Does this buddy understand me? Should I be more explicit?

  Physician Zhou's inner activities are: Am I sure I want to expose "him"? Combined with Xun Sijie's exhortations before, this Pei family Saburo is very likely to be a woman. God! Am I going to be the **** who exposes my friend's wife?

  Thinking of this, Imperial Physician Zhou trembled all over, and said guiltily, "Master Pei, I can't be a sorry friend."

  Pei Yi's inner villain almost had black noodles on her face, and she held her forehead depressed.

   After a while, she suppressed her depression and comforted her with an awkward smile: "Doctor Zhou, you are not sorry for your friend at all."

   "Xun Sijie supports everything I do."

   "If you do what I say now, you are taking care of me for Xun Sijie—this is completely due diligence."

  After hearing these words, Imperial Physician Zhou's eyes lit up, and his psychological burden disappeared.

  His chubby hands took out the tools from the medicine box, and then began to inspect—every movement he took very lightly, and it was obvious that he took great care.

  After the inspection was completed, Imperial Physician Zhou slowly put the tools back into the box.

  Then, the white and fat Physician Zhou looked at Pei Yi seriously.

  Pei Yi was dazed, and inexplicably fell into this staring state again.

  Then, she blinked her eyes and signaled with her facial expression that the other party had something to say quickly.

  Physician Zhou was a little embarrassed to be stared at by such a beauty.

  He coughed dryly and asked seriously: "Master Pei, are you really sure you want to tell the truth?"

  Pei Yi saw the other party asking her this question so seriously, her mood became more complicated.

  She can be sure that this doctor Zhou is indeed a good buddy who can get along with him.

  However, this buddy is too loyal, so it is very troublesome to deal with.

  Pei Yi felt a pain in her head.

  She thought for a while, forced a smile and asked, "I didn't ask just now, what is the name of Imperial Physician Zhou?"

   Doctor Zhou's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

   Mr. Pei was not interested in his name at all at first, but now he actually asked about his name.

   This shows that Mr. Pei is optimistic about him!

   Imperial Physician Zhou coughed twice and cleared his throat very seriously, then puffed up his chest slightly, and said with a strong voice: "My surname is Zhou, my first name is Zou, there is no word."

   These days, people without words are not considered a minority.

  The main reason is that most ordinary people with flat hair do not take characters.

  The people who take the characters are generally educated nobles.

  As for the people who are officials in the court, it does not mean that they are all educated—after all, not every official position is obtained through imperial examinations.

  For example, most of the positions in the Taiyuan Hospital are entered through the examination of medical skills, so a considerable number of people are actually not very educated.

  The lack of education naturally does not mean that they are illiterate, but that they do not have much attainments and accomplishments in literature—for example, poetry and songs, most of them are not very good at it.

   It is precisely because of this understanding that Pei Yi was not surprised when she heard that Zhou Taiyi had no words.

She smiled kindly, and said in a very sincere tone: "Brother Zhou, I am really happy for Xun Erlang to have a friend who values ​​love and righteousness like you. This time, thanks to Brother Zhou for taking care of me, my heart Grateful."

   Physician Zhou felt even more beautiful after hearing these words.

  He said proudly: "Where is it? It's all for my friends, how dare I not be dedicated? If you have any orders from Mr. Pei, just say, I will do my best!"

  Pei Yi had an embarrassed smile on her face.

  This kind of passionate little partner who pays too much attention to loyalty is really hard to get rid of.

Pei Yi continued to flicker with a very sincere tone: "Don't dare. Brother Zhou, I don't want to talk to you about our relationship. Today, Pei is ready to expose his identity. So, no matter the result No matter what, Pei can completely accept it."

  Physician Zhou understood, and suddenly a tragic aura emerged from his whole body.

  He said with a generous expression as if he was about to blow up a bunker: "Master Pei, Zhou understands."

  Pei Yi was afraid that he would not understand, so she explained seriously: "I'm not afraid of my identity being exposed, Brother Zhou, just tell the truth."

  Physician Zhou also nodded very seriously and said, "I understand, Mr. Pei."

  He really admired Mr. Pei so much.

   Really, Mr. Pei is too responsible!

   Just such a behavior, I don't know how many men can't do it.

  But Mr. Pei accepted it so frankly.

   At this moment, there was a subtle feeling of admiration in Imperial Physician Zhou's heart.

  So, Pei Yi looked at the white and fat Physician Zhou in front of her and suddenly looked at her with strange eyes.

  That look seems to be looking at a tall admirer...

  Pei Yi pursed her lips, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

  In order to ensure that her plan would not be interfered with, she seriously emphasized: "Doctor Zhou, I just want to expose my identity, but don't tell the truth."

  The moment the voice fell, Pei Yi noticed that Doctor Zhou was looking at her more earnestly—a look of admiration.

  Pei Yi's inner villain pursed her lips, feeling that the way things were going was a bit depressing.

  As she watched Imperial Physician Zhou walk out of the side hall, she was always a little nervous.

  Another compartment.

  Physician Zhou walked into the ear room next to him.

  He announced to the other two friends with a heavy face: "My test results have come out, how are your results?"

   Imperial Physician Chen, Imperial Physician Qian and Imperial Physician Zhou looked at each other in blank dismay.

   Then, in a strange silence, the three of them subtly understood the thoughts of the other two friends.

  Therefore, the three of them nodded in unison in silence, reaching some kind of consensus in silence.

   Then, the three of them walked out of the ear room with serious faces, and then walked towards the front hall together.

  The moment the three of them stepped into the front hall, everyone in the hall looked at them in unison.

  The three imperial physicians all felt a lot of pressure.

  The old emperor looked eagerly, and almost couldn't wait to ask: "Three gentlemen, how is the test result?"

   Imperial Physician Chen is the judge of the Imperial Hospital, with the oldest qualifications and the highest official position, so he will summarize the statement.

  He said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, after consultation with Imperial Physician Qian and Imperial Physician Zhou, the minister and the three confirmed that Mr. Pei is a woman."

   One word stirred up waves.

  The audience was in an uproar.

  A group of officials were shocked. Although everyone usually restrained themselves and dared not react, they couldn't help speaking now.

  Everyone exclaimed in low voice almost in unison: "Impossible..."

  Princess Yan Luoyu of the Zhen Kingdom already knew that Pei Yi was most likely a woman, but she couldn't help being shocked when she heard the result announced by Chen Taiyi.

woman…

   Physician Chen announced the result just like that.

   In other words, Pei Yi never agreed to marry her—this woman did not agree to let her help cover up her identity.

   It shouldn't be.

   Once the daughter's identity is exposed, Pei Yi will be a criminal who deceived the emperor, and the Pei family will also suffer.

  Under such circumstances, Yan Luoyu offered to help cover up his identity, which was completely to save Pei Yi from the flames.

  However, even at such critical moments, Pei Yi still refused the marriage.

What is this indicating?

  Yan Luoyu's face darkened.

   From this point of view, Pei Yi should have already planned to expose her daughter's body.

  But, what good is it to expose the daughter's body to Pei Yi?

  Yan Luoyu's mind was spinning rapidly.

   Her first thought was a series of negative outcomes.

  However, since Pei Yi will choose to take such a path, it means that there must be benefits—and the benefits must be quite large.

  Thinking like this, a memory fragment suddenly flashed in his mind.

  Yan Luoyu's expression almost froze.

  She remembered it very clearly, and now the ballad of "Pei's heroine dominates the world" is suddenly circulating in Kyoto again.

  The heroine dominates the world.

   Moreover, the women of the Pei family rule the world.

  Yan Luoyu curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes gradually became dark.

   Fortunately, when she heard the ballad, Pei Yi was not worried in every possible way.

   But in fact, this girl from the Pei family may have already been planning how to use this ballad.

  Pei Yi has the heart to seize the throne...

  Yan Luoyu's hands hanging in his wide sleeves gradually tightened into fists, his eyes became colder and colder, and murderous intent suddenly emerged in his heart.

  Although Huo Yuan, the third prince standing on the other side, had already expected it in his heart, when he heard Imperial Physician Chen announce that Pei Yi was a woman, Huo Yuan still couldn't hide his astonishment.

  Although during the long talk on that rainy night, he realized that Pei Yi was very likely to use folk songs to create momentum and then take the opportunity to expose her daughter.

  But when he witnessed this incident with his own eyes, Huo Yuan still couldn't help being astonished.

  He would not know the risk of Pei Yi's doing so.

  But Pei Yi still did it.

  Huo Yuan's mood became very complicated.

   At this point, he admires Pei Yi—he might not dare to make such an extremely dangerous move.

  The whole hall fell into a state of noise.

   This kind of noise is not the kind of lively scene when you go to the market, but the kind of noisy scene like a group of mosquitoes buzzing together.

   A group of officials who usually restrained themselves very much were so excited and shocked that they whispered to each other, and they couldn't help discussing with their colleagues around them.

   "Is it really a woman?"

   "No way? You can't see it on weekdays."

   "That's right. We've been working with Pei Sanlang for so long, and we haven't seen 'he' look like a woman."

   "Hey! Isn't Pei Sanlang a 'broken sleeve'! Doesn't this explain the problem?"

  I don't know who raised such a question, everyone was immediately enlightened and nodded in agreement.

   "Yes, Pei Sanlang actually looks like a woman."

   "What is resemblance? She is what she is."

   "It's not quite like..."

  Everyone talked a lot.

  Someone suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Why is Pei Xiangguo so calm?"

  After such a reminder, a group of overly excited officials woke up and looked at this high-ranking courtier one after another.

  Pei Xiangguo himself has an old look on his face at the moment, as if he is not affected by Chen Taiyi's words at all.

   This shouldn't be.

  Pei family Sanlang's daughter is exposed, then the Pei family is a criminal deceiving the emperor, how can Pei Xiangguo be so calm?

   A group of officials who were still enthusiastic about their brains calmed down instantly.

  Everyone stopped whispering and sharing their inner shocks. They all stood quietly with their heads bowed, only feeling that the mountains and rains were about to come and the wind filled the building.

  Although the officials couldn't guess what Pei Xiangguo wanted to do, everyone knew one thing very well—Pei Sanlang was a woman, and the criminals of the Pei family were deceiving the king.

  Under such circumstances, Pei Xiangguo did not show any signs of panic, which at least shows that Pei Xiangguo might want to be tough with His Majesty.

  A courtier, to be precise, is a powerful minister who wants to be tough with an emperor.

  In any case, this is an extremely terrible thing, and nine out of ten will cause thousands of miles of blood.

  Everyone felt that the smell of blood was coming from their noses, and everyone was very dignified in their hearts.

  On the high platform, the old emperor sat majesticly on the dragon throne.

  He glanced gloomyly at a group of ministers, quietly observing everyone's reactions.

  Finally, his eyes fell on Prime Minister Pei Shu.

  The old emperor's eyes instantly became more gloomy.

  He said in a cold voice: "Pei Shu, what do you have to say?"

  Everyone showed surprise on their faces, and then they looked at each other and made eye contact with the colleagues beside them.

  The current Xiangguo's surname is Pei Mingshu, and his character is Yishao.

  His Majesty the Emperor called Mr. Xiangguo by name in this way, which is no different from cursing someone.

   Obviously, His Majesty was so angry that he was about to smoke.

  Everyone was excited, and felt that today's court was too tense.

  Compared to everyone's various tensions, Pei Shu, as a party involved, was extremely calm.

  He made a solemn salute, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "I have nothing to say."

  His neither humble nor overbearing attitude directly annoyed the old emperor and shocked his colleagues present.

On weekdays, everyone knows that Pei Shu is arrogant, but it is not until today that everyone deeply understands how arrogant Pei Shu can be - even if the "crime of deceiving the emperor" has been proved, the prime minister can still be as good as a person who has nothing to do with His Majesty. Tough.

  Yan Luoyu's eyes became more gloomy, and his hands in his wide sleeves were clenched into fists.

  The Pei family is really too arrogant!

   In front of civil and military officials, Pei Shu, an old man, dared to disobey her father like this!

  The Pei family is really damned!

  Yan Luoyu gritted his teeth to calm his breath.

  Although she wanted to remain calm, she still couldn't help showing a bit of anger on her face.

  She tried her best not to look at Pei Shu, but all she thought about was about the Pei family.

  Yan Luoyu secretly sighed.

  Actually, as long as Pei Yi is willing to join hands with her, all of this will not be a problem.

  As long as Pei Yi is willing to marry her, she will naturally have opportunities to use the Pei family, so naturally the Pei family will not stand against her.

  But now, Pei Yi has a heart of treason, and Xiangguo lord Pei Shu is so ignorant of the emperor—obviously, the Pei family supports Pei Yi's plot to seize the world.

  Under such circumstances, the Pei family and her, Yan Luoyu, have an undying hatred.

  She has to get rid of the Pei family!

  Yan Luoyu's eyes were fierce, and he was already thinking about various feasible ways in his heart.

  Compared to Yan Luoyu's resolute anger, Huo Yuan seemed a little calmer.

  Of course he also hated Pei Shu's lawless behavior, but his attitude was extremely restrained.

  The development of a powerful minister is not a matter of a day or two.

  Instead of blaming Pei Shu for his inappropriate words and deeds, it is better to reflect on what went wrong in Da Zhou - that might have created such a powerful minister.

   Moreover, Pei Shu's attitude is so tough today - as a courtier, he doesn't even bother to do the most basic etiquette to perfuse an emperor.

   Obviously, Pei Shu already had a very strong heart of rebellion—to be precise, Pei Shu planned to do his best to support Pei Yi in seizing the throne.

  Pei Yi...

  When Huo Yuan thought of the word "Pei Yi", he felt heavy.

  Why is it Pei Yi?

  Why, as a woman, Pei Yi insisted on giving birth to the desire to conquer the world?

  If Pei Yi hadn't coveted the Great Zhou Dynasty, there wouldn't be such a difficult relationship between him and Pei Yi.

  Perhaps, this inference is not very accurate.

  After all, the Pei family obviously had a rebellious heart long ago.

  Even if Pei Yi doesn't ascend the throne, Pei Xuanzong and Pei Xuanting will do the same thing in the future.

  Huo Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were indescribably calm and deep.

  He never wanted to hurt Pei Yi, but if Pei Yi was determined to go against him, then he was destined to do something that would make Pei Yi sad.

  Huo Yuan glanced calmly at Pei Shu, the Lord Xiangguo who was standing in the center of the hall, his complexion suddenly became severe and gloomy.

   "Presumptuous!" The old emperor was furious, and slapped the armrest and snapped, "Pei Shu, you are so brave!"

  The old emperor raised his sleeve and pointed at Pei Shu at the bottom of the steps, which was almost equivalent to pointing his nose and scolding him: "Do you know that you are a criminal deceiving the emperor?!"

  Pei Shu still had a serious expression on his face, showing no sign of fear or panic.

   But he was still showing face to the old emperor, so he even lifted his clothes and knelt down on his knees.

  He lowered his head and said: "I know that I have committed a crime, so I dare not ask His Majesty for forgiveness."

   "It's just that the folk song of 'Pei's heroine dominates the world' suddenly spread in Kyoto."

   "Although these ballads are nonsense, those who are interested make a big fuss."

   "Afterwards, the imperial court ordered the slaughter of all the baby girls born that year with the surname Pei."

   "I dare not disobey the order of the court."

   "However, I cannot just sit and watch my newborn daughter being brutally slaughtered."

   "I really had no other choice, so I let my daughter pretend to be a man—for the purpose of saving her life."

   "Your Majesty is benevolent and magnanimous, and the world is loved by the world. Could it be that you can't even tolerate a woman surnamed Pei?"

  As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

   But this time, although everyone was surprised, they didn't dare to whisper—they didn't dare to talk at all.

  The prime minister's words are really too daring to say.

   "Pei's mistress dominates the world", who dares to say such words?

   This is simply a taboo of the court.

   It is no exaggeration to say that what Pei Xiangguo said just now was a slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

   Those words almost pointed at His Majesty's nose and scolded: You are a foolish king!

   Just because of an inexplicable ballad, you ordered the slaughter of a baby girl named Pei.

  You are cruel and heartless, but I, Pei Shu, cannot be so conscientious as to kill my daughter.

  In order to keep my daughter alive, I can only make her a girl pretend to be a man since she was a child.

  Isn’t it all because of you, a foolish king, who forced me to do all this?

  What qualifications do you have to accuse me here today?

  Are you so narrow-minded—is it true that you can’t even tolerate a courtier’s daughter?

  Even if you want to take me Pei Shu, please let my daughter live!

  These implied meanings were clearly understood by all the officials present.

  Everyone gasped silently, feeling that the weather in Kyoto was about to change—everyone was silent like a cicada, not daring to take a breath.

  The old emperor blushed with anger and had a thick neck.

  He stood up suddenly, took a few steps to the edge of the high platform, put one hand behind his back, pointed at Pei Shu who was kneeling under the steps with the other, and scolded sharply: "Pei Shu! Are you accusing me of mishandling things?!"

  Pei Shu lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "I dare not."

  Although he said "don't dare" on his lips, his attitude is obviously very daring.

  All the ministers became more and more horrified, and they buried their heads low, for fear that at this time they would accidentally become a pitiful punching bag for the dispute between the monarch and his ministers.

   After all, a fire at the city gate is always easy to bring disaster to the fish in the pond.

  The old emperor glared at the powerful officials kneeling under the steps, and the situation a few years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

  At that time, he had not yet ascended the throne as emperor, but at that time a great victory was in sight, and the throne was basically secured.

   But this is Pei Shu!

   It was this Pei Shu who disobeyed him in front of all the generals, plausibly said that his strategy was wrong, and threw his leader's face to the ground and stomped on it!

  At that time, he felt that Pei Shu was completely undisciplined and tough-a person with such a strong personality must be the black sheep of the dynasty in the future, and the best policy is to kill him!

  The old emperor hates it!

  Why did he choose to let Pei Shu go because of the benevolence of a woman!

  When folk songs spread all over the capital, Pei Shu was far from the power he has today.

  At that time, if he had made up his mind to get rid of Pei Shu, Pei Shu would have no chance to live to this day!

  Whether the entire Pei family is still here is a problem!

  But it happens...

  The old emperor felt remorse and hatred in his heart.

  It happened that he was following the way of Chongdao at that time, and he chose to let Pei Shu go just for a promise to Chongdao.

   This is completely stabbing yourself!

  The old emperor became ruthless, and when he looked at Pei Shu, his gaze was as if he wanted to cut someone into pieces.

   He gritted his teeth and said: "Pei Shu, do you still have this emperor in your eyes?!"

  Pei Shu remained calm, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty calm down. I know I'm guilty and dare not defend myself."

  The old emperor was going crazy.

  He sternly said: "You think I dare not deal with you?!"

  Pei Shu said calmly: "I never dare to have such thoughts."

  All the courtiers were astonished, and they buried their heads lower, not daring to look at their colleagues next to them.
