A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Chapter 22 A Thoughtful Attack...

The figure slowly approached, and Pei Yunjing gradually saw the person's appearance clearly. It turned out to be the thirteen-year-old Third Prince—Pei Ancheng.

He squinted and smiled slightly, saying softly, "Sixth Brother, how have you been?"

Pei Yunjing's eyes were sharp as he quickly scanned the area from top to bottom, but he found nothing unusual. However, he remained highly vigilant and dared not relax his guard in the slightest.

He turned his head slightly, his eyes sharp, and asked in a casual yet pointed tone:

"Third Brother, what brings you here to meet me?"

Pei Yunjing knew in his heart that he had always been aloof and rarely interacted with the other princes.

Therefore, Pei Ancheng's sudden invitation made him suspicious, feeling that things might not be so simple and that there seemed to be some conspiracy behind it.

Pei Ancheng smiled gently, his eyes curving into crescent shapes, and said softly:

"I heard that my sixth brother has been poisoned by the Miao people, so I specially invited you out tonight to discuss this issue with you."

"Third Brother, what do you mean by that?" Pei Yunjing asked in return.

"Sixth brother, do you know who poisoned you?"

Pei Yunjing shook his head and replied, "Your subject does not know..." His gaze held a scrutinizing quality.

Pei Ancheng suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand with a gentle and elegant movement, as if he were displaying a work of art.

He gently fanned himself a few times, the cool breeze ruffling his hair and the hem of his clothes. Then, he said softly:

"The one who poisoned you was Consort Wan!"

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Pei Yunjing with a complicated expression, as if waiting for the other party's reaction.

Pei Yunjing glanced at it and said coldly, "Third brother, fan me gently, I'm not cold!"

Pei Yunjing clearly did not believe Pei Ancheng's words.

When Consort Wan was punished and sent to the Cold Palace in Chang'an, she entrusted Chang'an to me. How could she possibly poison me?

"Don't believe me?" Pei Ancheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile.

As he spoke, he took out a hidden weapon from his sleeve and threw it at Pei Yunjing's feet with a "clang".

Pei Yunjing looked down and saw that the hidden weapon was exactly the same as the one used by the assassin. It was triangular and engraved with exquisite patterns.

His gaze faltered slightly, and he asked with some confusion, "Third Brother, where did this come from?"

Pei Ancheng closed his folding fan and tapped it lightly in his palm a few times, as if considering how to answer the question. Finally, he said calmly:

"Find it in Consort Wan's room. That's all for now. It's getting late, Sixth Brother, you should rest early!"

After saying that, he left the back garden without looking back, leaving Pei Yunjing standing there alone, lost in thought.

What exactly was Third Brother's motive?

Pei Yunjing pondered this, bent down, picked up the hidden weapon, and then walked towards the East Sixth Institute...

……

The next day—

As the rooster crowed at dawn, before the night had completely faded, the sound of drums and gongs echoed from the palace. This was the signal for the morning court session, summoning all officials to the imperial city for the assembly.

Pei Yunjing lay quietly on the bed, staring thoughtfully at the ceiling, his thoughts drifting far away. Suddenly, a series of faint calls came from the bronze mirror...

“Brother Yun Jing…”

"Brother Yun Jing, are you there?"

Upon hearing Niannian's familiar voice, Pei Yunjing immediately jumped out of bed, quickly walked to the bronze mirror, sat down, and looked up.

!!!

Oops! !

Niannian rested her chin on her hands, with two big dark circles under her eyes, looking just like an adorable panda!

Pei Yunjing stammered, "Niannian, what's wrong with you?" Looking at her exhausted appearance, it seemed she hadn't slept all night.

At that moment, Niannian felt as if her head was filled with a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, which kept churning and shaking, making her dizzy.

She thought about it all night, but still couldn't find a way to catch the bad guy. In the end, she decided to ask Brother Yun Jing for advice!

"Brother Yun Jing, I'm in trouble!" Niannian looked at Pei Yun Jing pitifully, her tone full of helplessness and despair.

Pei Yunjing quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Niannian, tell me slowly, what's the problem?"

Looking at Niannian's pitiful appearance, he felt a pang of heartache.

Niannian sighed and frowned, saying, "Brother Yun Jing, I found out there's a bad guy in Dad's company. He broke the robot Dad made."

He even tried to steal and sell Dad's confidential documents to someone else, but I had no evidence to arrest him, and Dad didn't believe me anyway!

After saying that, she frowned, looking frustrated and troubled.

company?

robot?

These were all unfamiliar words to Pei Yunjing, but he quickly understood their meaning.

His eyes grew even deeper as he slowly and deliberately spoke to the bronze mirror, while Niannian leaned forward, pricking up her little ears to listen carefully.

As Pei Yunjing spoke, Nian Nian's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She muttered to herself:

"I didn't know you could do that!!"

"So now you understand what to do?" Pei Yunjing asked.

Niannian blinked and smiled slyly: "Hehe, of course I'll do as Brother Yun Jing says!"

Pei Yunjing nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Then, Nian Nian excitedly picked up the small backpack from the bedside table, waved at Pei Yun Jing, and ran out of the room like a lively little rabbit.

She carefully slipped past the security guard's gaze once more and arrived at the familiar dog hole. With practiced ease, she slipped through and disappeared into the other end.

Half an hour later, Niannian arrived downstairs at NJ Company. Accompanied by the receptionist, she smoothly entered her father's office.

At this moment, Niannian quickly looked around. Strange, where would Dad hide the confidential documents that the bad uncle mentioned?

She casually placed her small backpack on the office chair, then jogged to the office door and quickly locked it.

Hehehe...

Now, this place belongs to me!

Niannian stuck out her little bottom and excitedly rummaged around, while Jian Xiaohan received a notification sound in his hand.

He checked the monitoring on his phone and found that Niannian was like a little mouse, rummaging around here and there...

What is this little guy trying to do?

Just then, Zhang Jing, who was giving a speech on stage, interrupted his thoughts. Jian Xiaohan frowned because he realized that the data seemed to be different from the data he had compiled...

He immediately exported the records from his computer, examined them carefully, his eyes turned cold, and then he straightened up.

Meanwhile, Dad's office had been ransacked by Nian Nian. Suddenly, her gaze fell on a money tree. "I don't understand your metaphor, I'm going to feed the chickens now, hook hook hook."
