Chapter 633: Dead End (2)
Pei Zhang sat on the edge of the bed and stayed awake all night.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou slept soundly, and only opened her eyes at dawn.
After opening her eyes, Mrs. Yong'an Hou was shocked by the figure next to the bed: "Azhang, you...... Why are you here? You haven't slept all night! ”
Pei Zhang sat quietly all night, and the bloodshot in his eyes became more and more obvious.
After one night, there were some gray hairs on the side of his sideburns.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou was distressed, and got up to stroke her son's sideburns: "You are only a weak crown year, why did you have gray hair." I am busy with errands every day, and there is no one who knows the cold and the hot to take care of your food, clothing. I have already fallen in love with the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department for you, and in a few days, I will ask the official media to come to the door to propose marriage. ”
In the past, Pei Zhang didn't like to hear these words the most. Today, he was surprisingly patient, and replied with a smile: "Okay, I listen to my mother." ”
The son grew up day by day, and since the age of fifteen, he has never heard her like this.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou couldn't be happier, holding Pei Zhang's arm and continuing to chatter. Even after the daughter-in-law entered the door, she gave birth to a grandson, and she thought about what the name should be.
Pei Zhang smiled and listened intently.
After dressing up, Mrs. Yong'an Hou had breakfast with her son with joy.
Pei Zhang only ate a few bites by himself, and kept picking up vegetables for Mrs. Yong'an Hou, and piled up his mother's bowl to the brim: "Mother, you eat more, you are full." ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou answered, ate with joy on her face, and suddenly shed tears.
The big teardrops were like pearls with broken threads, falling straight into the bowl.
Pei Zhang sighed and reached out to wipe away her tears for Mrs. Yong'an Hou.
Mrs. Yong'anhou's hands were weak, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou's face was full of despair, and her voice was full of desolation: "Azhang, where is your father?" Is it life or death? Our mother and son, as well as the entire Pei family, can't escape this catastrophe? ”
Pei Zhang's eyes flashed with sadness, and he said in a low voice: "The second prince instructed Princess Shouning to poison her, and the emperor and queen were both poisoned, and they almost died of poison. Fortunately, cousin Rong entered the palace in time and saved the life of the emperor. However, now that the emperor's eyesight is damaged, the queen is speechless. ”
In front of the emperor, the second prince pushed his father out of the black cauldron. 's father actually told the old things together, and wanted to drag the queen and the prince down to Huangquan together, and Cousin Rong was also dragged into the quagmire together. ”
"The emperor was furious and had his father executed. It is difficult for the second prince to live. ”
"My father died last night. After I learned of my father's death, I was sent to the palace by the emperor to return home. Come to think of it, the holy decree of raiding the family and exterminating the clan will soon reach the Pei family. ”
The strength of Mrs. Yong'an Hou was drained of these words.
Her whole body collapsed, her face looked like crying and laughing, and she muttered to herself: "Retribution, everything is retribution!" ”
The evil causes that were planted back then have finally come to taste the consequences of their own evil today.
Committing a crime of bullying the king is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans!
The Pei family is about to be destroyed!
"This day will come sooner or later." Pei Zhang's voice was full of bitterness: "I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime." Even if she escapes these few years, when the emperor dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, the queen becomes the queen mother. At that time, the Pei family still couldn't escape this catastrophe. ”
"I'm only glad that Ah Xiu married into the Jiang family. If she is not guilty of marrying a daughter, she can get away with it. In the future, life in the Jiang family will be more difficult, at least you can survive. ”
"It's a pity that the fourth sister is gone. If she can survive, she will be able to survive in the Second Prince's Mansion. She committed suicide on the day the second prince was escorted into the palace. ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou trembled, and tears fell like rain.
She lived most of her life, and she just died. But her Azhang is still so young, he is the commander of the imperial guards, and he is young and promising. But they will also be implicated and die early......
Mrs. Yong'an Hou couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Pei Zhang and cried bitterly.
Pei Zhang's eyes were also red.
He patted Mrs. Yong'an Hou's back, and his voice was hoarse: "Mother, don't be afraid. My son is with you. On Huangquan Road, our mother and son are not lonely. ”
At this moment, Pei Jue came quickly with a frightened face: "Mother, brother." There are hundreds of Imperial Forest Army, surrounding our Pei Mansion. Also, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also outside the door, saying that he was going to come to deliver the holy decree in person. W-What the hell is going on? ”
No matter how young Pei Jue is, he also knows that things are very bad.
Mrs. Yong'anhou's bitter cry echoed in the dining room.
Pei Zhang looked at Pei Jue with complicated eyes: "Second brother, my father has committed the felony of bullying the king. Today, the Pei family is in trouble. Now, I just hope that the emperor can open up and spare your life. ”
Pei Jue almost became Princess Shouning's concubine. In the face of this affection, perhaps, Pei Jue is still lucky to have escaped death.
In just a few words, it is like five thunderbolts.
Pei Jue was stunned, and rushed over quickly: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" What is a felony of bullying? What catastrophe is coming? What the hell is all this going on? ”
Pei Zhang didn't have time to explain, and he wasn't in the mood to say more: "Let's go and take the order!" ”
……
Mrs. Yong'anhou, who was pale and pale, knelt first, and then Pei Zhang and Pei Jue.
There are many side branches of the Pei family, and the number of descendants is not much. Except for Pei Xiu, who was married, and Pei Ying, who had died in the Second Prince's Mansion, the rest of the Pei family's children were summoned to the main hall. Coupled with the number of concubines of Yong'an Hou, there are more than a dozen serious masters. At this time, they all knelt down in unison.
The sixth prince looked at the Pei family who were kneeling on the ground, and complicated emotions flashed in their eyes.
He had very little contact with his uncle's family and was not close. For more than a year, because Yong'an Hou tried his best to show goodwill, there was some movement.
This shocking secret, which had been hidden for more than ten years, was revealed, and he hated Yong'an Hou to the core. However, Yong'an Hou died last night. However, the children of the Pei family were innocently implicated.
Especially Pei Zhang, who was originally the commander of the imperial guards and a confidant of the Son of Heaven. Now, what awaits him is the fate of being displaced.
He Qi stood beside the six princes and looked at Pei Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground and waiting to receive the order.
He never liked Pei Zhang.
At this moment, seeing Pei Zhang fall into such a world, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he was also a little embarrassed.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please pass on the decree!" He Qi calmed his mind and reminded in a low voice.
The sixth prince hummed, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and read the decree in a deep voice: "...... Yong'an Hou Peiqin, who was guilty of bullying the king, was unforgivable and has been executed. ”
"From today onwards, the title of Marquis of Yong'an will be reduced, and all the Pei family's assets will be confiscated. The nine clans of the Pei family were all exiled to Lingnan. ”
"Pei Zhang's position as the commander of the imperial guard will be taken from now on. led the clan into exile, and never returned to Beijing. ”
