960 Interrogation (5)

“However.” Her voice suddenly turned sharp like a knife, dangerous and murderous. “Even if they are backed by the Ye family, I will still take their lives!”

Long Ye was different from the capital of Ming Qi. The capital was located in the north, so it was the most beautiful in winter when the mountains and forests were covered with snow. Long Ye was located in the south, and the best season was summer when the nights were cool and the sky was starry.

In a remote courtyard at the back of Prince Rui’s mansion, the view was also great. With a pot of tea and a chessboard, the man in green drank alone under the moonlight like a hermit.

When Shen Miao came to the courtyard, she saw Pei Lang sitting at the stone table, drinking tea and playing chess. He was always like this. Back then, after he became the state preceptor, his personality remained unchanged. Shen Miao had always felt that it was not a good decision for Fu Xiuyi to let Pei Lang enter the imperial court. With Pei Lang’s personality, he was more suitable to live a carefree life. He read books, admired the historical sages, liked to play chess, and liked flowers, bamboos, and everything unworldly. However, he was forced to be scheming and cunning in the power game.

“Mr. Pei.” Shen Miao sat down opposite him.

Pei Lang looked up at Shen Miao and was a little surprised. That day, Shen Miao cut ties with him mercilessly. No matter how tolerant Pei Lang was, he was a man after all and had pride. He had not taken the initiative to look for Shen Miao these days, and Shen Miao was not someone who would take the initiative to seek reconciliation. Now that she appeared in front of him, Pei Lang’s emotions fluctuate slightly.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠.

“Mr. Pei, you said that you would help me. Does that still count now?” Shen Miao did not intend to beat around the bush.

“Help you with what?” Pei Lang put down the teacup in his hand.

“Everything. However, the thing I want to do now is to kill Li Mei and her brother.”

“That’s very difficult.” Pei Lang smiled bitterly.

“It’s actually more difficult than you think.” Shen Miao said, “These siblings are related to the Ye family. They said that they’re Ye Maocai’s children. They’ll probably become Ye Mei and Ye Ke soon. It’s nearly impossible to assassinate them. However, I can’t let them off.” 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝘦𝘵

Pei Lang frowned. “But why do you want their lives so much?”

Shen Miao smiled and said coldly, “Not every question has to have an answer. You wanted an answer to your question, but I also wanted an answer to my question. Since I don’t have an answer, how can I give you an answer?”

Pei Lang looked at the chess piece on the table and smiled. “I understand. I won’t continue to ask you why, but what do you want me to do?”

“You’re not good at killing, but I know what you’re capable of.” Shen Miao said, “Since they have already become Ye Mei and Ye Ke, then I’ll deal with the entire Ye family. No one knows better than you how to make a family collapse in the imperial court. I want you to be my advisor.”

Pei Lang was stunned and shook his head. “I don’t understand what you mean. I’ve been only with Prince Ding, and all I did was give him ideas on political matters. I’ve never caused any family to collapse. Why did you say that?”

Shen Miao smiled. She naturally knew. Pei Lang looked gentle and scholarly, but his methods were ruthless. When Fu Xiuyi just ascended the throne, Prince Zhou and the others tried to make a comeback, but in the end, they were all defeated by Pei Lang.
