Chapter 432: Secret (1)
It was no secret that Princess Shouning "learned the rules", and it soon spread. Naturally, it also reached the ears of Mrs. Yong'an Hou.
The more Mrs. Yong'an Hou thought about it, the more frightened she became, and whispered to Yong'an Hou about it uneasily: "...... Master Hou, why did the emperor treat Princess Shouning like this? ”
A haze flashed in Yong'an Hou's eyes, and he snorted lightly: "What else can it be!" It's not that someone is instigating behind it! ”
Yong'an Hou is well-informed and has already heard the real reason behind this matter.
How does Princess Shouning treat the second prince, Emperor Xuanhe will not take it to heart. Princess Shouning was disrespectful and unfilial to Empress Pei, which angered Emperor Xuanhe. That's why Emperor Xuanhe punished Princess Shouning so severely!
After hearing what happened, Mrs. Yong'anhou's face changed, and she gasped: "This Pei Wanru, what means did she use to make the emperor stunned!" ”
A few years ago, when Emperor Zheng's concubine was the most favored, Emperor Xuanhe loved Wu and Wu, and especially favored the eldest prince.
At present, Emperor Zheng's concubine has completely lost her sacred heart, and the eldest prince's momentum has been greatly reduced.
Queen Pei took advantage of the situation and won the favor of the Son of Heaven, and the position of the middle palace became more and more stable...... What's infuriating is that the second prince and Princess Shouning didn't get any benefits, and they were punished one after another.
However, the six princes emerged and became Emperor Xuanhe's favorite prince.
When Yong'an Hou heard this, his face became more and more gloomy.
He's really blinded!
He didn't expect that Pei Wanru would be able to confuse Emperor Xuanhe, and the influence on Emperor Xuanhe was far beyond his expectations.
In the past, he won the trust of the Son of Heaven and was the favorite of the Son of Heaven. For more than a year, Emperor Xuanhe was indifferent to him and alienated a lot. The number of times he was summoned to the palace to accompany him was also drastically reduced.
This is a very bad sign.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't know what Yong'an Hou was thinking, so she complained in a low voice: "...... Princess Shouning is the eldest princess who came out, and now she has no dignity, and I don't know how many people are watching Princess Shouning's jokes behind her back. This Pei Wanru used to be honest. Now that he was arrogant, he didn't take our Pei family seriously at all, and he didn't even do any face-saving work......"
"Alright, stop rambling nonsense." Yong'an Hou interrupted Mrs. Yong'an Hou impatiently: "In the future, Pei Wanru's name must not be mentioned again." You think your life is too long and tired! Beware of the walls with ears! ”
This is her bedroom, with two personal maids guarding outside. Idlers and others can't get close at all, and they are afraid of what "the wall has ears"!
Mrs. Yong'an Hou pursed her lips disapprovingly, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a strange noise outside the door. It was the sound of turning around in a panic and banging on the door.
Who?
The faces of Yong'an Hou and Mrs. Yong'an Hou changed, and they scolded angrily in unison: "Who is it?" ”
Who dares to eavesdrop outside the door?
The footsteps outside the door stopped, and after a while, a trembling and familiar girl's voice sounded: "Father, mother, it's me." ”
It's Pei Xiu!
……
Mrs. Yong'an Hou stepped forward to open the door with a tense expression.
The girl standing outside the door, dressed in a goose-yellow Luo skirt, had a strange pale face floating on her delicate face. A pair of smart black eyes were full of panic and horror.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou stretched out her hand, dragged Pei Xiu into the bedroom, and slammed the door open, making a bang.
"Why are you here all of a sudden? What did you hear just outside the door? Mrs. Yong'an Hou held Pei Xiu's wrist tightly, and with great force, she strangled Pei Xiu's wrist.
Pei Xiu was in pain and pulled back hard, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou held her hand tighter and leaned closer, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Ah Xiu, tell me quickly, what did you hear just now?" ”
Yong'an Hou didn't say a word, and stared at Pei Xiu with a sinister gaze.
Pei Xiu's whole body kept trembling, biting her lip hard, and her lower lip bit out a deep mark. A mouth, with a cry in his voice: "I didn't hear, I didn't hear anything." ”
She came to greet her mother. Occasionally, I was naughty, and deliberately crept outside the door, wanting to make a sudden noise and scare my mother.
I didn't expect my father to be there. Curious, she pressed her ear to the door, and then she heard something that made her shudder.
Father and mother seem to be talking about the queen mother in the palace.
But isn't the queen's maiden name Pei Wanqing? Pei Wanru ...... is obviously the name of Cheng Jinrong's dead mother. How can a person who has been dead for many years appear in their mouths?
What's going on with all this?
Queen Mother, is it Pei Wanqing or Pei Wanru?
In a panic, she subconsciously turned around to leave. I didn't think about it, and the movement was noticed. The unusual reactions of her father and mother made her even more frightened. She kept muttering, "I really didn't hear anything." ”
Yong'an Hou and Mrs. Yong'an Hou glanced at each other, and their hearts sank at the same time.
Pei Xiu really heard everything!
Yong'an Hou said coldly: "Ah Xiu, no matter what you hear, you can't forget it all, and you can't mention it in front of anyone." Otherwise, it will be fatal. ”
Pei Xiu's face was pale, and her whole body trembled.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou softened her voice and coaxed in a low voice: "Ah Xiu, you are still young, and you don't know that people's hearts are sinister. There are some secrets that you shouldn't know. Listen to your mother's words and forget everything that happened today, as if you hadn't been here. You don't know anything. No matter when, where, or in front of anyone, don't mention Pei Wanru three words. ”
It seemed that something was blocking Pei Xiu's throat.
Pei Xiu opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word, she only nodded.
She didn't hear anything.
She didn't know anything.
The queen mother in the palace is Pei Wanqing, not Pei Wanru.
……
After this day, Pei Xiu fell ill.
Pei Zhang was on duty in the palace every day, and when he returned home, he mostly rested, and only learned about Pei Xiu's illness after two days. I went to visit. Seeing this, Pei Zhang couldn't help but be surprised.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Pei Zhang frowned, and asked Mrs. Yong'an Hou in a deep voice: "Why is her face so flushed?" ”
Pei Xiu's face was flushed, and she fell asleep with her eyes closed. At a glance, it is really sick.
I was fine a few days ago, why did I suddenly get so sick?
Mrs. Yong'an Hou has been guarding Pei Xiu's bedside, and sighed when she heard this: "The weather was suddenly cold two days ago, and she suffered from the wind cold. I had a high fever for the past two days, and I drank a decoction of medicine, and the fever subsided at that time. But within a few hours, the high fever returned. I couldn't rest assured in my heart, so I had to guard her all the time. ”
At this moment, Pei Xiu muttered vaguely.
Pei Zhang's ears were keen, and when he heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly looked at Mrs. Yong'an Hou: "Mother, what's going on with my sister's illness?" What did she mean by 'I don't know anything'? ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou: "......"
