It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Pei Yichen looked at the female official behind Jiang Li. Even his father and second uncle were not very clear about this plan.

I only mentioned it to them briefly.

The fewer people who know the details and core of the entire plan, the better.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li dismissed the female master.

"Now that it's just the two of us here, you can speak."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yichen walked step by step toward Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at Pei Yichen, feeling no panic whatsoever, but rather a strange sense of calm.

She seemed to have a level of trust in Pei Yichen that surpassed that of others.

"Your Majesty, I am plotting a rebellion!"

Chapter 6 Backhand

"Aren't you afraid I'll just chop you up if you say these things to my face?"

Jiang Li showed no anger whatsoever; instead, she wore a slight smile.

Given her current situation, her actions are not much different from those of a powerful family rebelling.

"Afraid.

But for the sake of the common people, the Pei family is willing to risk everything!

Jiang Li and Su Chen locked eyes, their gazes meeting earnestly. Aside from their unwavering sincerity, Jiang Li saw not a trace of other emotion.

"Tell me your plan."

"After my father died, the Pei family switched sides and sided with the aristocratic families."

The Pei family would relinquish most of their existing interests to demonstrate loyalty to the aristocratic families, thereby infiltrating their ranks…

Jiang Li frowned slightly. "Are you playing house with me?"

Whether Pei Zhongshu truly died in the assassination attempt or faked his death to escape, it doesn't matter.

As soon as he falls, the powerful families will immediately turn their attention to the Pei family.

A Pei family that is completely dead is a good Pei family.

That old fox Zhou Zhongguang would never allow himself to harbor any hidden dangers.

Under the guise of feigning compliance, they will surely try every means to bring the Pei family to ruin.

"Therefore, at the very beginning of the plan, His Majesty's help is needed."

How to gain Zhou Chongguang's trust is my business.

Of course, some of the subsequent actions will become increasingly excessive and resemble treason.

Therefore, I need Your Majesty to send a trusted confidant to stay by my side.

It serves both as surveillance and as a means to better communicate with His Majesty.

Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

Pei Yichen's proposed method was tantamount to undermining the power of the aristocratic families.

If successful, the game will be instantly turned around from a dead end.

She might even possess the power to wipe out all the powerful families.

"I need to see your capabilities."

Jiang Li did not immediately agree to his request. Once this step was taken, there would be no turning back for either the Pei family or herself.

"His Majesty will see him."

Before Pei Yichen could finish speaking, his long sword was suddenly drawn from its sheath.

The speed was so fast that Jiang Li couldn't even react.

The silver-white blade, carrying a whistling sword aura, almost grazed Jiang Li's face as it pierced through.

when--

The sound of clashing weapons rang out behind Jiang Li in an instant.

Pei Yichen picked up Jiang Li and pulled her into his arms.

He wields a sword in one hand, facing two masked assassins.

"It seems the aristocratic families are really going all out, with four martial arts grandmasters."

The sounds of battle had already begun outside the door, and judging from the sounds, it was also one against two.

Pei Yichen stared at the two grandmasters in front of him and gently put Jiang Li down.

"Find a corner to hide in, and don't come out until you're told to."

Dangdangdang——

Beneath the solitary shadow of a wild goose, Pei Yichen moved like the wind.

No matter how the two grandmasters attacked, they could not break through his defenses and harm Jiang Li in the slightest.

Jiang Li, sitting in the corner, stared intently at Su Chen's figure.

The three masters' movements and speed far exceeded the limits of Jiang Li's eyesight.

Although the details were unclear, Pei Yichen's figure, which was blocking the way, never retreated an inch.

A commotion had already broken out outside the palace, and it wouldn't be long before the palace guards would arrive to provide backup.

when!

A short sword was embedded in front of Jiang Li.

"I told you to hide, don't show yourself!"

Pei Yichen's slightly reproachful voice rang out. These two grandmasters had exhausted their methods, and it wouldn't be long before he was able to kill them.

At this stage, they will do everything they can to get rid of Jiang Li!

Through the gap, Jiang Li saw the sword strike that Su Chen used to kill the two grandmasters.

clean!

neat!

The Nine Yang Sword Technique is extremely righteous and powerful.

Pei Yichen was like a chivalrous knight who rescued a defenseless girl from the clutches of the enemy.

"It's safe now, come out."

Jiang Li looked at the hand extended to her, and then at Su Chen's clear eyes.

Jiang Li's heart fluttered once again.

From the moment she was enthroned as emperor, every event she experienced served as a constant reminder that no one in the palace could be trusted.

To secure the throne, one must endure loneliness.

View everything as a matter of self-interest.

Anything can be exchanged to achieve the goal.

But Pei Yichen in front of me was different; he was very clean.

They even seem somewhat innocent.

At this moment, she was willing to believe the person in front of her.

Jiang Li believed that Pei Yichen could protect her safety.

"The sound of heavy armor? Are there heavily armored guards inside the palace?"

Pei Yichen, with his keen senses, heard the sounds coming from outside the hall.

The palace guards were required to be able to reach the palace where the incident occurred in a short period of time.

Guards clad in heavy armor should not be present in the palace.

"No.

Only the Black-Armored Army of the Imperial City Guard wears heavy armor.

Jiang Li's face turned ashen.

While the Imperial City Guard is ostensibly controlled by the Han family, it is in fact inextricably linked to the Zhou family.

In theory, the Imperial City Guards cannot enter the palace without being summoned.

Even if you enter the palace, you still have to remove your armor!

Wearing heavy armor and barging directly into the palace can already be considered a rebellion!

"It seems the Zhou family has a lot to do tonight."

They had to assassinate Pei Zhongshu and also kill the Empress.

If it weren't for his powerful trump card, the Zhou family could have completely taken control of the dynasty overnight!

"How long will it take for the other guards to arrive?"

"Half a stick of incense."

"So long?" Pei Yichen was taken aback.

Let alone half an incense stick's time, if she weren't here, and the Black Armor Army rushed in, Jiang Li would be dead.

"Moving forward with great difficulty."

Inside the palace, it has been severely eroded by powerful families.

But as long as she doesn't die tonight, she can use tonight as an excuse to give him a good dressing down.

At the very least, they can regain control of the core of the palace.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have enough resources right now, even if she wipes out all the people planted by the powerful families.
