Du Pingfei was suddenly awakened by a nightmare, his chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped for breath, like a person struggling with drowning.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the phoenix's eyes were three points confused, seven points frightened, and when he saw the surrounding decorations, the sloppiness and fear in his eyes were gradually precipitated. In an instant, she returned to her previous noble and self-contained appearance.

Thinking back to what she had just dreamed, she couldn't help but soothe her heart and try to calm the terrifying fear.

Just now, she actually dreamed of a sea of blood!

After all these years of life, this is the first time she has dreamed of such an ominous picture.

When she closed her eyes at this moment, she could feel the large expanse of blood spreading to the soles of her feet, threatening to completely submerge her.

I'm afraid that's how the suffocating feeling in the dream came from.

For a while, she didn't have the heart to rest, got up and casually put on a big coat, and walked out.

As soon as she turned the screen, she suddenly stopped.

And Xiao Yao, who was standing with his back to the door, noticed the movement behind him, and immediately turned around, and his face did not show any abnormality.

But Du Pingfei knew that he had something on his mind.

"Why are you in the palace at this hour?" Du Pingfei glanced at the slightly open door of the palace, and caught a glimpse of the wind and snow outside from the crack, and his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle into pimples.

Xiao Yao glanced at it lightly, and saw that there was still a trace of ignorance and tranquility on her face.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that this seemingly gentle and harmless person would be so ruthless?

He quickly looked away and asked lightly, "I'm not here, where else should I be?" ”

Du Pingfei looked at him in surprise, "The matter of the Beiheng Palace, has it been dealt with?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yao lazily responded, lowered his head, and suddenly spread out his palms, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of mockery.

Just a few days ago, he used this hand, under the instructions of the woman in front of him, to personally send King Beiheng to the heavenly prison.

After planning for a long time, he gambled the lives of countless soldiers at the northern border pass, and successfully deducted the charge of "deducting military salaries and rebellion" on the head of King Beiheng.

Caught and imprisoned, the group attacked it, and at this moment, the front court was peaceful and the harem was calm, which can be described as a good means to play.

In just a few days, the sky has changed in Tianjing.

Thinking of this confrontation, Du Pingfei's expression was full of pride, "In the past few days, you have also worked hard." When the situation in Tianjing stabilizes, you can rest! Otherwise, Hongu will be uneasy. ”

Xiao Yao glanced at her in surprise and said coldly, "You don't have to be like this. Horizontal and vertical is what I am willing to do, and if there is anything really going on, it will not involve you. ”

Different from the previous gentleness, his tone revealed a sense of nonchalance, although it was not disobedient, but there was a sense of alienation revealed from his bones for no reason.

Du Pingfei was a little confused, but said, "Xiao Yao, what kind of attitude do you have?" Where did Hongu provoke you? ”

"Nope. You've thought about it too much. Xiao Yao didn't look at her, arched his hand very casually, and said casually, "If nothing else, I'll go out first." ”

"Stop!" Du Pingfei stopped him from behind, "Xiao Yao, you have been by my side for many years, what can't you say to your face?" Why make such a gesture and bluntly fade each other's affection? ”

"I said, nothing." Xiao Yao paused, but he didn't look back, maintaining the posture of opening the door.

In the narrow crack of the door, the biting wind poured in, and he quietly turned his back to Du Pingfei, his clothes were hunting, his hair was flying, and his back was alone, but people could perceive the coldness contained in it.

- Like an unsheathed sword, the edge is exposed.

Du Pingfei suddenly felt bad in his heart, but he was a little confused, so he could only soften his voice as much as possible, and asked in a roundabout way: "This palace sees that you are in a bad mood, but what is the problem?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Yao still didn't look back.

Du Pingfei was not discouraged, and continued to ask: "That is the disposal of King Beiheng this time, do you feel dissatisfied?" ”

"Of course not."

"This is not it, that is not it, why are you throwing a face at this palace?" Du Pingfei was very angry in the end, and lowered his figure several times, but all he got was his white eyes and cold words, his temper suddenly burst out, and he said in a cold voice, "Xiao Yao, you and I should not have said these words. But now it is not easy to get rid of the obscure person of King Beiheng, and this palace does not want any more moths. Do you understand? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao finally turned around slowly, with a self-deprecating look on his face that could not be concealed, "You don't have to emphasize it again and again, I can still tell the difference between right and wrong." I can do things for you, even by any means to achieve your goals. That's the promise I made to you. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, when he said the word "promise", Du Pingfei obviously felt a ridicule that he had never felt before.

But I heard him continue: "Queen Mother, you have powerful means and a sharp mind, although you live in the harem, you can secretly control the direction of the previous dynasty, this is your ability." But I shouldn't have used this skill for me. ”

Du Pingfei was anxious to defend, "This is not what this palace meant......"

"Whether you mean it or not, but that's what I see." Xiao Yao raised his hand to interrupt her words, and said lightly, "You can control a lot of things, but you can't try to control my thoughts." I hope you understand that. ”

Du Pingfei was stunned, and soon smiled, "So, it's still the palace, isn't it?" After all, you are still unhappy with the matter of King Beiheng? ”

"I didn't say that." Xiao Yao was a little helpless, why did the topic go back again?

Du Pingfei's face suddenly tightened, and he said in a strong tone: "Regarding the matter of King Beiheng, this palace admits that it has done nothing wrong, if you have a gap in your heart because of this, then this palace has nothing to say." But you should know that after experiencing so many conspiracies in the harem and the calculations of the previous dynasty, this palace is only doing this for self-preservation. ”

Xiao Yao naturally understands this truth.

But it was precisely because he understood that he became more and more contradictory. If you really want to talk about it, he is not dissatisfied with the fate of King Beiheng. On the contrary, having been by her side for so many years, he knew better than anyone the importance of disposing of the King of Beiheng.

What really made him feel powerless was the possible impact of using Queen Beiheng on the border war.

It's just that these things are now unspeakable.

He stared at the woman in front of him quietly, but saw that her eyebrows were resolute and her face was unusually strong. He remembered in a trance that this demeanor had not appeared for a long time, so that he had forgotten how arrogant this woman was before she left the pavilion.

For a while, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and suddenly softened his tone and said, "It's not like you think." King Beiheng deserved such a fate. And, if you really want to put it mildly, they are not completely innocent. ”

Du Pingfei's heart suddenly fell back into his stomach, and then he was puzzled: "Since you know all this, why are you still ......?"

"Who knows?" The corners of Xiao Yao's lips were slightly hooked, his voice was sarcastic, and his voice was as low as if he was whispering in a dream, "Perhaps, it's just that I don't want to go." ”

There was a touch of melancholy on his face, and before Du Pingfei could ask, his voice changed and brought the topic over, "Although King Beiheng has been imprisoned, how to deal with it is still up for discussion, right?" ”

At the mention of this, Du Pingfei's face sank, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Although she designed the people of the Beiheng Palace's palace into the heavenly prison, but now that the emperor has not woken up, no one in the court has the right to really deal with them.

In this free time, anything can happen.

Subconsciously, she didn't want to see such a situation, but she couldn't find an effective way for a while.

Thinking of this, she had to ask Xiao Yao, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Xiao Yao thought for a moment, and then said, "This matter is here, you don't want to interfere anymore." Let Du Chengyuan go to the previous dynasty to operate, and it is best to use the hand of Prime Minister Sun Cheng to convict King Beiheng. Otherwise, when the emperor wakes up, you probably won't be able to explain. ”

Du Pingfei nodded when he heard this, but he was a little unwilling: "This palace hopes that these people can be disposed of as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

But she also knew very well that it was just a matter of thinking. At the moment, she does not have such a right.

At this moment, the two of them were silent with each other, and only the whirring wind could be heard in their ears.

At this time, Fenghe suddenly trotted in in the wind and snow, and reported: "Niangniang, Lord Du has something to ask to see." ”

"Ask him to come in." Du Pingfei said lightly, and after a while, he saw Du Chengyuan walking into the hall wearing a big coat, and before Du Pingfei could ask the first sentence, he had already spoken, "Niangniang, I just got the news that the prince of Beiheng has escaped from prison!" ”

"What's going on?" Du Pingfei was startled and cried out out in a gaffe.

Xiao Yao also showed a look of disbelief, "Aren't they locked up in a prison?" How can you still escape? ”
