I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 219

[Second task set, task 16: Help the hero complete the plan to split Pei. 】

Pei Jin hugged her clothes tightly and came out of the hot spring, feeling completely chilled all over. She curled up and knelt on the ground, obviously everything was exposed, but she still instinctively tried to hide.

The bright yellow boots stopped in front of her, and a hand reached out to brush her wet hair and lift her chin.

She finally had to face the visitor, "Meet...Your Majesty."

"Pei Jin...a daughter's body...is much prettier than a man's body. Why don't you just dress up as a woman in the future."

Pei Jin had already started to tremble all over.

The emperor rarely said softly: "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you for the crime of pretending, and you don't blame me for breaking into this place by mistake and interrupting you."

Pei Jin's face was already pale, and she could only shake her head, but tears still filled her eyes uncontrollably.

The emperor chuckled twice, let go of Pei Jin, and said, "Clean up, come out, don't freeze." After speaking, he walked away.

But at this moment, Pei Jin was so sad and angry that she couldn't breathe. She gasped for breath, as if she would suffocate to death in the next moment.The frightened tears finally slipped down, and after crying and screaming silently for a long time, he wrapped up his clothes and went out in embarrassment.

As a result, he saw Pei Qianyu with an ugly face as soon as he went out.

Pei Jin stared straight at her, but Pei Qianyu's eyes turned red, and she stepped forward and said, "Sister, your clothes are all wet, go back and change."

"Pei Qianyu, why?" Pei Jin already knew that her father had arranged everything to force her to submit. She didn't understand why Pei Qianyu could trick her into coming here without any burden. She had always been very protective of her sister.

While supporting Pei Jin to walk into the house, Pei Qianyu said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, don't blame me, my father forced me, what can I do, I can only listen to my father."

Pei Qianyu said as if she obeyed her father's words in everything, but Pei Jin was not stupid, she was silent for a while and sneered, "I understand, if I don't enter the palace, you have to enter the palace, right?"

Pei Qianyu was so guilty that she didn't dare to face Pei Jin, she could only say: "This is my father's decision, and I don't want to. Since my sister already understands, you should know that this is already your responsibility, and if you avoid it, you will hurt me. My sister said she wanted to protect me, so how could she harm me?"

Although Pei Qianyu feels a little guilty towards Pei Jin, she doesn't feel that she has done something wrong. She is not as brave as Pei Jin and can say no. She is originally a woman in the back house. As long as her father orders, she must enter the palace, and she will become Queen Cheng at that time She is afraid of being a thorn in Pei's side.Since Pei Jin was the No. 1 pick of the Pei family, why did he let her go?

Pei Jin took a deep look at Pei Qianyu, "You are right."

In fact, she knew that Pei Qianyu's approach was reasonable. After all, they were like people standing in the same bull's-eye. She stood in front of Pei Qianyu, and the arrow shot towards her. open.But Pei Jin felt chilled, because of the years of brother-sister friendship, she didn't even want to tell her, so she helped her father deal with her.If Pei Qianyu cried and said she didn't want to enter the palace, could Pei Jin still force her?

Pei Qianyu also felt uncomfortable, but she took Pei Jin back to the room after all.

As soon as she entered the room, Pei Jin found that everything for women's clothing had already been prepared here.

Apart from this semi-wet men's suit, Pei Jin had no other clothes to change into. Looking at those beautiful hairpins and dresses that she had never imagined before, her heart and body were like falling into an ice abyss.She had hoped...

"What does father want me to do?"

"Just now when His Majesty came out, Father asked him if he would like to stay here overnight, His Majesty nodded. So..." Pei Qianyu whispered.

It turned out that it was not just for the emperor to inspect the goods, but also to send her directly to the dragon bed to make a final decision.

Pei Jin's tears flowed down again, but she couldn't cry at all, and could only breathe slowly to force herself to breathe.

"sister……"

"Get out..."

Pei Qianyu had no choice but to go out, and the door was closed, but before Pei Jin could calm down for a while, her father's voice came from outside the door.

"Pei Jin, don't blame me. This is for the Pei family. We are also desperate. Only you can entrust it. Now that the emperor knows that you are a woman, you can never go back. Judging by the emperor's appearance, we should treat you I'm very interested, everything will be fine in the future, don't be paranoid, as a child of the Pei family, you should have the awareness of sacrifice, we are too spoiled for you, if someone else doesn't have to worry about your father."

Pei Jin's heart ached when she heard it. She would never give up easily in the face of anything. She was determined to make contributions like a man. Fighting for favor in the harem was never what she wanted in her heart. Naturally, she wanted to refuse, but in the face of patriarchal and imperial power, Pei Jin But he couldn't say a word.

Patriarch Pei asked her to think about it.

Pei Jin could only cry alone in the room, she thought it was ridiculous, her whole life was ridiculous, but in the end, was she still powerless to change her destiny as a woman?

At this moment, Pei Jin really hoped that someone would show up and tell her that she can disobey, choose not to choose, and resist to the end.Give her reasons to struggle.

But no one.

Pei Jin stood up slowly, as if she had lost her soul, walked to the vanity mirror, reached for the Zhu Chai placed below, lost her mind, the tip of Zhu Chai hurt her finger.

Seeing the blood flowing out, Pei Jin froze for a while.

Suddenly, what Lin Qingyang said to her in the Qiuhun camp, when she scolded him, flashed in her mind.

Pei Jin gave a wry smile, and suddenly a ray of light welled up in his eyes.

Half an hour later, a large number of guards sneaked out from Pei's courtyard to find someone along the road. A carriage passed by, and everyone looked up. It was a carriage from the main courtyard of Yawen County. Naturally, it was impossible to stop the carriage and search it. Passed them and continued forward. After running for a long time, a lonely and thin figure appeared in front of the carriage, wearing half-dry clothes and walking along the road.

The carriage stopped slowly in the middle of the road.

Pei Jin was in a daze when she was suddenly stopped, her heart tightened, thinking that her father had sent someone to arrest her.

As a result, when she looked up, a person was opening the curtain of the carriage door and looking towards her.

"Are you tired from walking? Where are you going? We'll see you off."

Lin Qingyang stood on the carriage with a smile and waved to Pei Jin.

Pei Jin's eyes were moist again, and she walked towards the horse.

As the sound of wheels rolling continued, Pei Jin finally came to his senses. She really... escaped.

Pei Jin looked up at the two people in the carriage, and was dumbfounded for a moment.

Lin Qingyang raised his hand to pour tea for Pei Jin, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was in a good mood, but Chu Li, who was next to him, gave Lin Qingyang an expressionless sideways glance, but he was in a bad mood.

In fact, in the hot spring pool, Lin Qingyang was startled by the sudden sound in his head, slipped on the sole of his foot, and slid into the hot spring water, almost choking. Under the chaos, all the charming atmosphere suddenly disappeared.The brains of both of them were stimulated and separated from their desires, but their bodies were still half-squeezed in embarrassment.Just at this time, Lu Yi came to report that he had found Director Sheng's whereabouts. Director Sheng is usually inseparable from the emperor, so...

Lin Qingyang has already realized that, in fact, the fact that the Pei family presented Pei Jin to the emperor in the other courtyard in the original text was the result of Chu Lishu's secret design and guidance. This will not only split the two families, but also allow Pei Jin to reunite through this crisis. Rely on him, but that's the hero of the original text, the current Chu Lishu... Lin Qingyang had a hunch that he would not do this.

But Chu Lishu seemed to know what was going on, and after asking, he realized that when Chu Lishu was trying to arrange some small conflicts to make Pei's two veins gradually separate, he discovered some of Pei's plans.It turned out that without Chu Lishu's deliberate guidance, the Pei family would still choose to sacrifice Pei Jin.

And Chu Lishu planned to ignore this matter from beginning to end. After all, if he intervened, he must be using Pei Jin.

Considering their interests, when Pei Jin enters the palace, the Pei family will definitely support her, which will make Pei Jin more difficult to deal with than Concubine Pei and the third prince, and will do them all harm but no benefit.

Therefore, in the original text, in order to prevent Pei Jin from entering the palace, Chu Lishu only took the form of being almost brought into the palace by the emperor to stimulate Pei's concubine and split Pei's family. It was Pei Jin who made the choice.After all, he didn't want to destroy an enemy while cultivating a more powerful enemy.

So it stands to reason that he should stop everything that happened in Pei's other courtyard as in the original text, maximize Pei Jin's value, and prevent Pei from having the slightest chance to stand up.

But he knew that Lin Qingyang regarded Pei Jin as a friend, so he turned a blind eye and waited for the result before thinking about how to deal with it.Left and right are not too troublesome, he can make a concession for Lin Qingyang once.

Chu Lishu also mocked Pei Jin's fate of being ruined by the Yuan family if he didn't marry the third prince. Looking at the person who ruined Pei Jin's feelings the most in the original text, Lin Qingyang felt embarrassed for him hearing these words.

But in this way, the matter would be messed up. From Pei Jin's point of view, it seemed that a chance of redemption had been lost, which made Lin Qingyang very entangled.But he couldn't force Chu Lishu to go there, it didn't make sense after all.

After all, this time is different from the third prince's time. That time was a man's coercion of a woman. Lin Qingyang took Chu Lishu to save the beauty as a hero.This time, the emperor is not the third prince. No matter how disgusting he is, he will not be so lowly as to force a woman to sleep with him. If he is the emperor, does he want any woman? Even if he likes him, he will wait for that woman to come to his house look for him.So no matter how Pei Shi tried to persuade him, as long as Pei Jin didn't nod his head and said he didn't want to, the emperor would definitely leave immediately, and he wouldn't waste time with them at all.The original text also developed in this way.

So the choice actually lies with Pei Jin.The Chu Li book in the original text may just be an extra weight on the sky.But this time, since Chu Lishu had no relationship with her from the very beginning, this weight naturally had no weight. Obviously, whether to go or not was not the key, the key was Pei Jin.Lin Qingyang knew that he was not a savior, and he was not qualified to interfere in other people's independent choices.

As Chu Lishu said, if Pei Jin agreed to enter the palace to fight for the Pei family, then they would still be enemies.

So they made a bet...

"You guys appear here by such a coincidence, do you know what happened?" Pei Jin was very sensitive, and quickly reacted, with a flustered expression.

Lin Qingyang didn't hide anything, and said, "I probably guessed it."

Chu Lishu said in a not-so-good tone: "It seems that you left the emperor alone, you are really courageous."

Pei Jin's face turned pale.

Lin Qingyang couldn't bear it, so he said: "It's good to follow your heart, if you don't want to, don't force yourself."

Pei Jin raised her head and glanced at Lin Qingyang. In fact, she wanted to find Lin Qingyang when she escaped just now, but she gave up in the end, and weakly threw herself into the arms of the person she liked, crying that it was not something she could do. She just wanted to escape temporarily, that's right, temporarily, because she hadn't figured out how to choose at all, she just wanted to escape from the environment that suffocated her so much that she couldn't make a calm choice.

"My original intention? I don't even know what my original intention is." Pei Jin said with a little self-mockery.

Lin Qingyang was embarrassed. As expected, it was the same as the original text. Pei Jin also had her own concerns. Without Chu Lishu's emotional support, she would not be able to make a decisive choice.

Lin Qingyang looked at Chu Lishu. In fact, as far as the mission is concerned, whether Pei Jin enters the palace or not doesn't matter to him. After all, the process that should happen has already happened.But in his heart, Lin Qingyang didn't want the plot to change drastically, nor did he want Pei Jin to face such a predicament. He did, as Chu Lishu thought, regard Pei Jin as a friend, and he couldn't bear to see Pei Jin sacrifice for the family.

Chu Lishu looked at Lin Qingyang's almost begging eyes, sighed, and said, "Forget it, admit defeat." Then he told Lu Yi, who was riding the carriage, a location, and told the carriage to turn around to go there.

Pei Jin asked puzzledly, "Where are you taking me? Why admit defeat?"

Lin Qingyang didn't know where he was going, but the bet was their business, Lin Qingyang couldn't say, after all, he was betting on whether he would escape, which seemed impolite.

At the beginning, Lin Qingyang bet that Pei Jin would escape, and Chu Lishu promised that if Lin Qingyang won, he would relieve Pei Jin from the predicament.

Chu Lishu did not answer Pei Jin either, but said bluntly: "Pei Jin, my cousin gave you advice before, and I will give you the same advice, let's go, get out of here."

Pei Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then her guard was instantly strengthened. After all, Chu Lishu's seemingly considerate words were most likely a trap, and she couldn't believe it easily after suffering a loss once.

"Oh? Why?" Pei Jin calmed down and responded calmly.

Chu Lishu smiled contemptuously. "Have you ever thought about why you have to enter the palace?"

Pei Jin's eyes changed slightly, but Lin Qingyang looked at Chu Lishu suspiciously, not understanding the meaning of these words.The reason why Pei Jin was allowed to enter the palace was because Mrs. Pei wanted to change someone to support her. Pei Jin is the most suitable candidate. She is smart, capable, and saves making wedding dresses for others. This should be what Ms. Pei meant.That's what the original text said, could it be that there is something else hidden?

Chu Lishu's body leaning against the wall of the carriage tilted casually, just leaning on Lin Qingyang's shoulder, and said casually: "If you have to ask Pei's daughter, Pei Qianyu will be more legitimate, and she will directly issue an order. The palace is good, anyway, your own sister, you will definitely help with your heart, and she will be obedient, and the child born is also the grandson of Patriarch Pei, so why did you use this method to let the emperor come out, go around in such a circle, risking exposure The truth may anger the Emperor, so if you insist on being the candidate, won’t it be troublesome?”

"Yes... it's to prevent future troubles. I'm afraid that the Third Prince will attack me as a woman. And I'm more adaptable to the dangers of the harem than my sister." Pei Jin's face gradually went blank, but her mouth was still arguing for Pei.It's not that she hasn't been suspicious, but it's impossible for her to just ask, why didn't her sister go?

But this reason makes Lin Qingyang feel far-fetched. After all, if the Pei family dares to take the risk to let the emperor know the truth, it is almost certain that the emperor will not punish them, and it succeeds, so how can we say that he is afraid of the third prince? Use it as a handle.

"Oh, it can be considered as a reason." Chu Lishu looked at Pei Jin sarcastically, and continued: "Obviously it is most beneficial for one to be in the harem and the other to be in the former court, but now it doesn't matter whether Pei Qianyu goes or not, but you If you have to go, even if you don’t care about your reputation, wouldn’t it be absurd if there isn’t a valid reason?”

When Lin Qingyang heard this, he completely believed in Chu Lishu. When he looked at Pei Jin, he found that Pei Jin's face had completely faded. Obviously, she knew there must be another reason. Maybe she didn't sacrifice herself for some reason. of.

"What...reason?" Pei Jin said hoarsely.

"When you arrive, you will see it. If you want to leave at that time, we will make arrangements for you." Chu Lishu stopped talking, but leaned against Lin Qingyang to rest with his eyes closed.

The sky outside was getting dark gradually, as if it was going to rain. Lin Qingyang handed Pei Jin a blanket and asked her to cover it. He didn't know if it was really cold or chilling. Pei Jin wrapped the blanket very tightly, and the whole person was at ease. Quietly curled up in the corner, not knowing what to think.
