"Something?" Pei Yuan asked sideways.

Liuzhen nodded, Ah Jin went to his room to see him when he left, and after learning from his father about the current undercurrent in the court, he was worried that the prince would encounter danger when he left Beijing this time: "Prince, Liuzhen will accompany you, you have been hiding your identity and it is inconvenient to do it, Liuzhen can protect you." ”

"Didn't you promise this king to protect Sister Jiahe, if you leave, who can protect her? Okay, I'll send you a letter to report safety, you also know my strength, don't worry. Pei Yuan sent someone out of the door, looked at his tangled face, and couldn't help but smile.

This child used to be inferior to him for his father's status, and he always looked at him in various ways, but now he is indeed the first in everything, but just like Shen Jiahe said, he is still a child in the end, how can he let him go into danger with him.

Risky? Pei Yuan thought of this and sneered, the one in the palace who wanted to deal with him should have been planning for a long time, just like when they planned to frame their mother.

His thoughts drifted back to the day of his childhood, a day he would not dare and would never forget, from that day he went from a proud prince to a rich boy who was not as good as dust, but it was also from that day that he grew up instantly.

At that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and the queen mother was only a concubine of her father-Yan Guifei, when she was still pregnant with a child, the imperial doctor diagnosed her with red clouds, and the people of Qin Tianjian said that her birth must be extraordinary, and she was not born with auspicious protection, which was very loved by her father and the queen mother.

Pei Yuan remembered that the weather was not very good that day, it was cloudy, and it was going to rain soon, but it happened that after Yan Guifei walked into his mother's bedroom, the heavy rain fell, and he couldn't go out to play because it was raining, so he had to take the palace maid and eunuch to play hide and seek in the concubine's bedroom.

He hid under the bed and waited for them to come to him, but he saw a scene that was so cold that his teeth chattered when he remembered it to this day, Yan Guifei was talking to his mother, he couldn't see their upper bodies, but he could hear their voices.

was going to come out to say hello, but before he could come out, he saw Yan Guifei stretching out her foot and hooking the stool, and then fell down with a bang.

Then there were the panicked screams of the palace maids and grandmothers, and the painful moans of Yan Guifei, and after a while, the moans turned into accusations against the mother concubine: "Why do you want to harm me, I don't have the intention of competing with you for favor, why do you want to kill even the child in my womb, why is your heart so vicious!" ”

He wanted to come out and shout that it wasn't like this, he wanted to refute Yan Guifei, and then shut her up, but the mother concubine somehow glanced at him, and when she was crying and arguing with Yan Guifei, she stretched out her foot and kicked him inside.

It rained heavily all day, Yan Guifei was sent back to her bedroom by the palace people, and the mother concubine was locked in the house, and the rain stopped at night, but he no longer had the intention to go out to play, he struggled desperately in the arms of his mother, and wanted to go to his father to understand.

"The child is obedient, you have to promise your mother, no matter what you want to fight with Yan Guifei in the future, your mother just wants you to grow up safely, and it would be best if you are lucky enough to be an idle prince." The mother touched his head, and at that time she had already foreseen the end.

He only saw a small glass of wine from the chief steward of the Empress Dowager's palace, and then he was taken out of the dormitory by the palace maid beside the concubine.

Without the existence of the mother, those people ignored him temporarily, a child without a mother naturally would not be any threat, not to mention that Yan Guifei did not know that he knew the whole truth, so he was able to survive in the cannibalistic palace.

But he grew up in hatred in such loneliness, he didn't feel fortunate at all, he hated himself who was weak and useless at that time, and hated himself for not being able to protect his family. He felt that his eyes were a little astringent at this time, but he blinked and no tears flowed......

In the palace, the emperor did not return to his dormitory after reviewing the recital, but went to the Queen Mother's Jiuluan Palace.

The emperor hasn't been here for a long time, and looking at the queen mother kneeling on the futon, his chaotic mind has settled for a moment.

The Queen Mother saw that his brows were slightly furrowed and his face was gloomy, so she took the initiative to speak: "You haven't come to say hello to the mourning family for a long time, and you came here so late today for Shu'er's business?" ”

The emperor stepped forward and personally lifted the queen mother up from the futon: "The queen mother must already know." ”

The differences in the court have already been transmitted to the harem, not to mention that the queen mother also has her own ears to report to God, which the emperor knows well but will not intervene excessively.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "I tried my best to help you get on the throne back then, if you let someone else sit in this position now because Shu'er's ability is too poor, Your Majesty, can you be willing?" ”

Seeing the emperor's expression flashing slightly, the queen mother sneered again: "The emperor probably has an idea in his heart, but he went to the queen mother to take a reassuring pill, or does the emperor have other thoughts in his heart?" The mourning family has regretted it a lot before cutting the grass in the early years, and now the emperor is going to follow the old path of the mourning family? ”

The emperor was stunned, and he didn't dare to hide his thoughts anymore: "I just think that King Ling's mind is simple, maybe it's useful to keep it." ”

The queen mother had already taken the Buddhist beads in her hand, only sat on the mahogany chair with her eyes closed and chanted and did not answer, and the emperor had no choice but to bow and say goodbye.

His throne is not easy to come by, so he naturally does not want to give it to others, if Pei Yuan can be like Pei Hao, he can only do things for himself without showing his face, and not be a stumbling block for Shu'er to move forward, he may still be able to leave a trace of kindness, but now it is impossible.

He summoned the personal chief steward and pointed to the few people in front of him and ordered: "The few guards who followed King Ling to run an errand tomorrow have other arrangements, you go and take these people to replace them." ”

Watching the chief steward take people out, he came back after a stick of incense to tell that things had been arranged, and the emperor could close his eyes and fall asleep with peace of mind when he lay on the bed.

Pei Yuan and Pei Hao gathered in Cheng Yiming's yamen early the next morning, and all the guards assigned by the emperor were waiting here for the two princes to set off as a team.

There were a few guards in the team, Pei Yuan found out when he counted the number of people, maybe the emperor didn't know that he had already touched the previous guards, this would be a temporary replacement, how could it not arouse his vigilance.

But when Pei Hao asked him if there was anything wrong, Pei Yuan just shook his head and didn't say much, and after going out of the city to meet the secret guards sent by Ah Jin, he pointed out those suspicious people to those secret guards one by one.

The assassination operation began when passing through the post station to change horses, and the guards were assigned by Pei Yuan to follow the post station officials to pick horses, but the guards who had been born before suddenly turned back and stabbed Pei Yuan with their swords after following a few steps.

Pei Yuan had already taken precautions, and began to retreat after feeling the movement, because it was not clear whether all the killers had appeared, Pei Yuan was not good at showing his strength, so he could only hide vigorously, but fortunately, his kung fu was not weak, and he dodged all the moves.

The secret guard of the Yuan Pavilion had already appeared, and Pei Hao also ran out of it after hearing the movement, the kung fu of the other party was not excellent, and the number of people was much less than them, and they were quickly captured by the secret guard and Pei Haosheng.

"Be careful!" Pei Yuan just spoke, but it was too late, black blood was already flowing from the corners of the mouths of these killers, and there was no hope of survival.

Pei Hao raised his hand and pinched open a person's chin, glanced at it and frowned, "Dead man, there is poison hidden in his teeth." ”

The person is already dead, and Pei Yuan doesn't want to dwell too much, anyway, he has already guessed who can't bear it anymore and starts to do it to him.

Seeing that the time had been delayed a lot, Pei Yuan inserted several secret guards into the guards' team, and began to announce that he was hurrying away, and his intuition told him that the killer had not been cleaned up yet, and he would no longer talk to Pei Hao about it along the way.

Pei Yuan was transferred from the capital by the emperor on an errand is only temporary, if he is lucky enough to come back, King Kang will still be trampled by him, the queen has to think about how to save the lost reputation for her son during this time, the most important thing is to prevent him from catching fire in the backyard again.

She thought about it again and again, and sent Mama Lian to King Kang's Mansion with a cart of supplements and gifts.

But even Mama had a serious face from beginning to end, so that Qin Xiaoshuang was extremely nervous at the moment she accepted the gift, and sure enough, after the last gift was moved off the carriage, Mama Lian said to her in a deep voice: "Concubine Niangniang, the queen mother has a few words to bring to the slave maid, can you take a step to speak now." ”

"Concubine Niangniang, the queen said, now is an eventful time, and the prince is at a critical juncture, you are still waiting to give birth to a child, don't cause more trouble." Mama Lian stood in the room, relaying the queen's words expressionlessly.

Qin Xiaoshuang gritted her teeth, and didn't respond for a long time, even Mama raised her eyelids and glanced at her, and gave another word of advice: "There are some things that are not yours, and you can't ask for them, if you damage the interests of the prince and the queen for your own selfish interests, the side concubine should know the consequences." ”

Qin Xiaoshuang watched Mama Lian walk out of her yard fiercely, how could she not understand the meaning of her words, but why did the queen look down on her, and why did she say that what she wanted was not her own at all.

One day I will stand in the highest position and stomp on the soles of your feet, Qin Xiaoshuang secretly clenched his fists, the fierceness on his face flashed, and soon returned to a gentle and watery appearance.

Pei Shu was coming in from the door, passing by the maids holding gifts, and looked at Qin Xiaoshuang with a smile: "This is sent by the queen mother?" It seems that the queen mother likes you very much now. ”

Although Pei Shu still thinks of Shen Jiahe recently, he has already divorced her for Qin Xiaoshuang, and his reputation has become so bad, in order to prove that his choice is right, he is now better than before for Qin Xiaoshuang.

Recently, I was spurred by the emperor, and in addition to taking care of Qin Xiaoshuang, the rest of my time was spent on handling government affairs.

Qin Xiaoshuang went down the steps, hid the unhappiness in his eyes, and only replied with a smile: "Yes, it can be seen that the queen still has a concubine in her heart, and the concubine only hopes that the child will be born soon, so as to make the queen happy." ”

After being helped back to the house by Pei Shu, Qin Xiaoshuang sat on the couch and didn't let go of Pei Shu's hand: "Speaking of which, the prince and the queen have mentioned that they want to canonize the concubines as princesses, but now the queen thinks that for the sake of the children, she likes the concubines very much, and I think that as long as the prince mentions it, the queen will agree." ”

Pei Shu raised her eyes and looked at Qin Xiaoshuang, her originally warm face gradually cooled, but she didn't say it was good, she didn't say it badly, Qin Xiaoshuang's heart was in turmoil, but Pei Shu's appearance made her dare not mention it anymore and she could only give up.

On the other side, Shen Jiahe heard that Shi Xiangjie was coming to deliver something to his sister, and remembered what Pei Yuan had said to him, so he took the maid over to say hello to him.

She mentioned these words to Shi Xiangjie vaguely, if he didn't understand, when he went back, he told the second elder of the Shi family, presumably they would also understand Pei Yuan's worries.

Thinking of Pei Yuan, Shen Jiahe couldn't help but start worrying, Bai Wei saw that her face was not good, so she comforted: "The prince is very intelligent, I think I will come back from the flood as soon as possible." ”

Shen Jiahe nodded, but what she was worried about was the flood control, what she was worried about was the turbulent undercurrents around him!
