The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapters 254. The rebellion 5
Pei Zhong Min finally realized that he had lost. But he still wants to know how he lost in this. What made Pei Zhang Xi always excel from him. Even when he had painstakingly gained his support to be able to gather a lot of people to support him, in the end he still lost.
"How did you do that?" Pei Zhong Min asked.
"Easy enough. Actually it was only because of the first brother who had made a move so clearly and made me wary. I always pay attention to what happens even if it is just the simplest thing. The main principle for defeating the enemy is to understand the enemy himself." Pei Zhang Xi spoke calmly.
"In this case, I have placed first brother as an enemy. And I'm sure first brother must have done the same to me by placing me as an enemy right? But the difference is, I never looked down on my enemies. I would never play around by thinking of myself as greater than them and underestimating them. But I treat them as if they have more ability than I do. That way, I will always have an attitude of self-awareness and continue to try and never give up. That way, I will recognize my enemies inside and out. When I realized that first brother was very calm at the border whereas according to my understanding of big brother, first brother would not be able to bear even if only one day there. It was from there that I realized something was wrong and sent General Yuan infiltrate. Slowly try to prove yourself to gain trust. That way, everything will be easy for me."
"You! You've known for a long time. But just keep quiet all this time?"
"Well... For satisfactory results, it's okay to have to wait a little longer." Pei Zhang Xi replied with a smile looking at Pei Zhong Min with a mysterious smile.
"What other results can be obtained? Hadn't it been with me to successfully storm into the palace, the losses would have been great. Aren't you afraid if I hurt the citizens during the trip to the palace?"
"Ha ha ha ha... Of course not. That's because I've anticipated her before." Pei Zhang pursed his lips. Losing just lose. Why ask her so many things? Really troublesome. He just wanted to put an end to all this and bring his son back and gather with his wife's son comfortably in his palace. Perhaps he would ask for a leave of absence for a few months on his Emperor Father after this. Ah no. That won't be enough. It will take at least one week or at least a month for the holidays. Yep. That's just right.
"anticipated her? How's that?" Pei Zhong Min did not understand.
"yeah. I think that's enough. It doesn't matter anymore for now. The point is that I let first brother finish his plan with this rebellion to let first brother know his own abilities as well as tell the world that the Shao Empire is not easy to resist. That'sthat's all. Isn't first brother now aware that his own abilities aren't better than mine?" Pei Zhang Xi silenced Pei Zhong Min with his words.
"You! You just wait for my revenge."
"What revenge? Minister Zhu, I replied as security minister, Isn't the punishment for every rebel a death sentence?"
"Yes His Highness the Crown Prince. The penalty for a traitor let alone a rebel is the death penalty with his whole family."
Hearing what Minister Zhu said in response, the entire crowd who had originally been supporters of Pei Zhong Min immediately froze. They did not expect things to turn around so quickly. With all the efforts that had been made, they thought the rebellion this time would definitely succeed and they would quickly receive a lot of benefits. Their rise in rank was as Pei Zhong Min had promised them. They never thought if they were wrong in taking sides. But as long as they confess wrong and do not admit that they are involved, the death penalty is definitely avoidable and just a casual punishment instead. It's okay for a while. The most important thing is that the life of the brand can be saved first.
"No! No, Your Majesty! Please forgive us. We were lost for a moment. We don't really support the rebels and just fear the death of us and our family members." Minister Fu dropped himself on the floor as he pleaded for mercy. With Minister Fu as an example, the other Ministers immediately followed smartly.
"Yes Your Majesty. We know nothing of this rebellion. We have nothing to do with it at all, Your Majesty. Please investigate it well." Another minister added as he knelt in front of Emperor Pei An Long.
"We confess His Majesty's guilt. Please forgive us. Please save you for the years we gave you as we devoted ourselves to this empire. We have done many things for the betterment of this Empire with all our heart. Please have mercy, Your Majesty."
"Please Your Majesty's mercy." The beacon of the ministers who previously defected this compactly. They plopped themselves in deep until they put their eyebrows on the floor.
"of course. This matter will certainly be investigated well." Emperor Pei An Long looked at these ministers with a sinister smile. But in the eyes of these ministers, the smile was so warm that they felt relieved.
"Back on your knees! Who told you to get up?" Emperor Pei An Long's voice sounded terrifying. Make their feet feel soft like jelly.
"Your Majesty, this is...." Minister Fu raised his head and looked at Emperor Pei An Long and realized that something was wrong with his smile. Suddenly, a cold chill blew behind his body. Makes shivering.
"Don't I tell you that I'm going to investigate this matter well. Of course I will investigate this matter so well that there are no more calculations that we have not yet solved." Emperor Pei An Long's reply made Minister Fu who initially dared to look at Emperor Pei An Long lower his head quickly.
In a secluded place inside the Harem, concubine Qiao was hiding from the guards who were chasing after her. As one of the people directly involved in the rebellion, of course Consort Qiao would be tried just like these rebels along with them.
Originally, the moment these rebels barged into the Harem, concubine Qiao was the only one who could calm down. Moreover, he had learned that Pei Zhong Min's forces were going to attack today. That was why he could not even sleep all night thinking about this matter praying all night to pray An Pei Zhong Min's rebels succeeded and his goal was achieved. That way, her ambition to become a future queen mother would not only be a dream for her.
As the rebels entered one by one the courtyards inside the Harem, concubine Qiao looked at all of them in the dark quietly. Even as these rebels entered into his own courtyard, he simply stared at them nonchalantly.
"Did my son send you here?" Concubine Qiao looked at all the rebels who had entered his courtyard confidently.
"Yes madam. We'll take the madam out to see His Majesty." Answer the rebel. Unsuspecting, concubine Qiao followed these rebels. But the longer he walked, he felt that something was wrong with these rebels. They were often silent and did not answer when he asked them something about the situation of rebellion.
His suspicions were further heightened as they nearly exited the Harem neighborhood. Then, after he became more convinced that something was wrong, he looked for a way to escape from the rebels.
Concubine Qiao watched the rebels and took advantage of the moment when they were a little off guard and encouraged her servants to take down the rebel and flee quickly.
