Chapter 213 Premeditation

"What should I do?" the imperial concubine asked.

The second prince was overjoyed, "My son has found out that Pei Mo will attend King Yi's birthday banquet, and his mother and concubine will also attend the birthday banquet."

Damn Pei Mo, if it weren't for him, how could he have lost the death-free gold medal? This prince must make him look good at King Yi's birthday banquet.

"Although the concubine has no relationship with King Yi." The imperial concubine paused and said, "Nothing, the concubine will be there by then. Does Yu'er have any plans?"

"My concubine can't cut herself in vain. Then I will think of a way to blame the concubine's injury on Pei Mo. This way, the scar on the concubine will have a reason, and the emperor will not doubt it!"

The second prince said, his eyes full of evil.

The imperial concubine nodded and praised, "Okay, Yu'er is still smart!"

On the other side of the General's Mansion, Murong Qing was playing with the death-free gold medal in his hand when he suddenly sneezed.

"Ah chirp——"

Pei Mo on the side put down his pen, stood up, closed the window, and asked with concern, "But do you feel cold?"

"No." Murong Qing shook his head, "I'm not cold, I just feel like someone is talking bad about us behind our backs!"

That feeling was creepy and unsettling behind her back. This was not the first time Murong Qing had such a feeling. She attributed this feeling to 'someone is trying to harm her and Pei Mo'.

She looked at the death-free gold medal in her hand, and thought of the second prince who would definitely take revenge.

With one look from Murong Qing, Pei Mo knew what she was thinking and teased her by saying, "Don't worry, my name as general can cure children who cry at night. Those little ones hiding in the corner are nothing to be afraid of."

Murong Qing covered her mouth and smiled, "Look how proud you are."

After such an interruption, Murong Qing was indeed not that uneasy anymore.

The next day at court, the emperor suddenly called Pei Mo's name and asked him about exchanging death-free gold medals with the second prince.

Pei Mo was not surprised. The gold medal for immunity from death was given by the emperor, and he had the right to interfere even if it was given to others.

What surprised him was that the second prince actually answered for him and even made up a lie that was completely false.

The second prince said, "To report back to my father, the gold medal for immunity from death was given to General Pei by my own initiative. In order to thank General Pei for saving his life, I hope that my father will not punish General Pei."

When the old emperor heard the words "life-saving grace", he immediately forgot about the gold medal and asked with concern, "What kind of life-saving grace? Brother, didn't you just recover from your illness a while ago? What's going on?"

Something happened."

Pei Mo said nothing, but looked at the second prince making up stuff with deep eyes.

"Father, there is no need to worry. I went out for an outing in the mountains a few days ago and I never expected to encounter an assassin. Fortunately, General Pei came to the rescue. Otherwise, I may not have the chance to stand in the court."

The second prince gave a decent explanation.

The emperor's face became more serious, "What assassin dares to be so bold as to attack the prince at the foot of the capital? Jing Zhaoyin, why is the security of the capital so lax recently?"

Faced with the inevitable disaster, Jing Zhaoyin could only kneel down and admit his mistake.

Fortunately, everyone was fine, and the emperor only said a few symbolic words and let Jing Zhaoyin and the death-free gold medal go.

Unexpectedly, the play of the second prince was not over yet, so he continued, "Father, I saw that those assassins were a little weird. I had never seen the tricks used in the murders in the Central Plains. They were more like the Beiyi people during the Wan Qi Holy Meeting."

It’s martial arts, but it’s been so long ago that I might have remembered it wrong.”

If it were at home, Fang Anren would definitely scold someone. Look at Sheng Xiuyan's face. He couldn't remember and said it out loud. If he hadn't been on good terms with Pei Mo and he would have believed this lie, he would have been beaten by someone who had just returned from Beiyi.

Is it the idea of ​​the fifth prince who came back from the border?

Now even Jing Zhaoyin, who was confused, understood and cursed in his heart, he is really a mad dog. I am afraid that this second prince, except the prince, will bite everyone he meets.

When the emperor heard this, his face became even more gloomy, "I will immediately give the order to send a team of troops to strengthen the patrol of the Second Prince's Mansion, and shoot two more masters to protect you at all times. You don't have to worry, Second Prince."

The second prince quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, father!"

The eunuch next to him could tell by looking at the drooping corners of the emperor's mouth that the emperor was really angry this time.

Pei Mo's eyes darkened. While he pitied the fifth prince, he was also worried that more and more princes were involved in this matter.

The name of the fifth prince was Sheng Xiumin. His mother-in-law had violated the emperor's taboo eight years ago and was thrown into the cold palace. Therefore, the emperor also disliked this son. When he heard that his son was ineffective in guarding the border, he actually let foreigners

He sneaked into the capital and almost injured his second son, and he was even more displeased with him.

The fifth prince is now sixteen years old, but he has already stayed in the military camp on the border for three full years. This shows how much the emperor dislikes his son.

Even summoning the fifth prince back to the capital was under pressure from civil and military officials. You must know that princes over sixteen years old have the right to go to court to serve as counselors. In order to show his benevolence, the emperor only allowed him to return to the court. But even so, let the five princes return to the capital.

Something like this happened before the prince's imperial edict was issued. I'm afraid that the future of the fifth prince will become even more difficult.

"Dear sirs, do you have anything else to report? If nothing happens, then I will withdraw from the court."

When the emperor spoke, the ministers were eager to go to court quickly because there was nothing else to do.

This time, Fang Anren and Pei Mo walked side by side. As soon as the conversation started, they kept chattering, "Is this second prince sick? He bites people when he sees people. How did the fifth prince offend him? You can't make it up like this even if you make it up."

It’s not the fifth prince’s!”

The fifth prince was not favored, but he did not give up on himself. He lived a serious life at the border. Although he was used to the crowds in the palace, he did not develop a sophisticated and tactful temperament. Instead, he had an innocent heart and was optimistic.

Faced with the difficult situation at hand.

Fang Anren also guarded the border of Beiyi for a period of time. The fifth prince and he were similar in age and had many topics in common, so they naturally became good friends.

Seeing that the fifth prince was targeted in this way, Fang Anren was very angry.

Pei Mo lowered his voice and said, "The second prince made a really good plan. It not only delayed the time for the fifth prince to go to court, but in the end he also used tricks to blame the assassin on me. Maybe he also wanted to say that I directed and acted myself."

, just to defraud him of the death-free gold medal."

Fang Anren realized it later and said angrily, "You are so vicious-hearted. If you do this, how can you and the fifth prince win over each other? Kill two birds with one stone, and your calculations will be really loud!"

Pei Mo added, "The second prince is bound to retaliate. If it's against me, that's fine. But if it's against the fifth prince, I'm afraid the fifth prince won't get any benefits."

They were all people who joined the army, so they always felt some sympathy for each other, not to mention they were acquaintances. Pei Mo was very disgusted with the second prince's behavior.

When Cao Cao arrived, the second prince's voice sounded behind them, "General Pei, General Fang, please stay!"
