After a torrential rain, the dust is clear and the sky is clear.

Instant rain got out of the car, and from a distance, I saw the princess of Chu standing in front of a well-repaired tomb, drinking incense and wine, and doing it herself.

She stepped forward and first put a stick of incense on the girl who called Yuzhi, and then told Pei Yao about the latest news from the palace.

Pei Yao listened, her face was unwavering, and she was extremely calm.

"Princess, aren't you surprised?"

"Accident what?" Pei Yaowei chuckled lightly and asked rhetorically: "Accidentally, Pan Ruohui has the courage to poison Empress Dowager Liang and accuse Yu Wenrou?" ”

Instant Yu frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "The slave maid thinks that although this matter was also done by the Pan family, but the previous human evidence was there, if it was said that it was done by the Yuwen family, wouldn't it be more reasonable?" It's you, the slave and maid, who see it now, as if you had guessed it all at first......"

Pei Yaowei smiled lightly, straightened the cuffs casually, and said in her heart: It was originally a game set up by myself, so what could I not guess?

At this time, thinking about the safflower embroidery screen at the beginning of the game, she couldn't help but sigh a little.

Pan Ruohui is also a smart person, but when the situation seems to be on her side, she is as smart as her, and she is also out of mind and cautious, and only believes in the sentence 'God help me'.

She only knew that Yu Wenrou had transferred the dim sum rewarded by Jingci Palace to her, which just solved her urgent need to find a chance to start, but she forgot to think about it, and from Yu Wenrou's heart, she had the same meaning as her Pan Ruohui - this thing itself was abnormal.

"Alas......" she sighed lowly, and warned herself, "I hope I can remember it clearly." ”

As she spoke, she turned around and asked with Instant Rain: "Concubine Xian testified, Sun Zhifang asked to understand the confession, but Concubine Pan fainted at a critical moment - this clear-eyed person can see what's going on, what does the emperor say now?" But has the order been issued? ”

"It's weird, it's weird here!" Instant Rain said: "As you said, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on, but until the slave maid Shi left the house, there was no holy edict in the palace to condemn the concubine. At this time, Concubine Pan Guifei is still the quasi-queen of the Sixth Palace...... Princess, you say, what does this emperor think? ”

The revenge of killing his mother is ahead, isn't he in a hurry to take revenge?

This result, Pei Yaowei was not completely unexpected.

She pondered for a moment, then smiled, "That makes sense." ”

Instant Yu said unexpectedly: "How can it be reasonable?" ”

In the past, when the mansion of Wangchen Pan had not yet collapsed, if it was said that the emperor was jealous of the family and had a temporary forbearance, it might be reasonable, but today......

"Except for a daughter, the Pan family has nothing to fight behind it, and to be honest, she is still the daughter of a criminal minister, if such a person the emperor does not dare to fall, then what he, the emperor, has done is too aggrieved?"

Pei Yao smiled and shook her head: "Who said she had nothing to rely on?" ”

"She has been with the emperor all these years and has helped him do so many things...... She holds so many secrets of the emperor in her hands, and those secrets are her best life talisman. ”

Sometimes she thinks about it and feels that Xiao Zhu's trust in Pan Ruohui should be higher than her own.

Think about it too-a woman who loves herself with all her heart, and a woman who is one step away and almost is her sister-in-law, with Xiao Cha's temperament, how can she not tell who is 'kissing' and who is 'sparse'?

And so it is. As early as back then, she still believed Xiao Zhu's nonsense, thinking that he did not allow the harem concubines to give birth to heirs, and when he was wholeheartedly longing for his son-in-law, Pan Ruohui already knew what he was doing with those children behind his back.

"You say, how can there be a father in this world who would kill his own children for his own selfishness?"

When she returned to the mansion later, she was still thinking about it, and under the shadow of the lamp, she flipped through the book, and unconsciously blurted out a question.

Hearing this, Xiao Di's body stiffened.

He rolled up the map, put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and said strangely: "Why do you have such a question?" ”

Pei Yao lowered her eyes, bit her lip slightly, and thought silently for a long time before she raised her eyes to look at him.

She asked, "Do you know how I died?" ”

Xiao Di was stunned.

All this time, they never talked about it.

Pei Yaowei may be thinking about the old wounds and can't bear to think about it, but in his heart, he has some doubts, and he is not so sure that he can't talk to her easily. When she suddenly mentioned this, he couldn't help but be a little flustered for a while, and he didn't know what else he could do except go to her side to accompany her.

"When Xiao chased the southern capital, I was tired of the trivial matters of the harem, so I went to Yuze Palace to raise a baby. The blessing of Concubine Topan was there, and it was there that I saw for the first time those strange people who specialized in crooked ways that Xiao Chai had raised in private. ”

"He has been on the throne for several years, and there are many concubines who are pregnant, but they have never come out. In the past, in front of his aunt, he dared to speak out, saying that he would never allow his concubine to be born before his concubine...... I am also foolish, and I really believe in his evil. It wasn't until I was in Yuze Palace that I was close to giving birth, but I found that ......"

Speaking of this, she sneered self-deprecatingly, "What kind of concubine is humble, he is just a crooked and evil way out of the sweetness, in order to stabilize his imperial spirit, he is not even as good as a beast, and he is willing to sacrifice his children one by one......"

"In the end, it will be sacrificed to me, and when I figure out these pickled things, I will try to plan and arrange to save the life of the flesh and blood in my belly, but it is too late."

When she said this, her gaze fell on a certain point in a daze, and there was not too much expression on her face, but her body couldn't stop chilling and trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Di took her into his arms. He heard her ask, "You say, how can there be such a person?" ”

"I don't understand," she said. ”

This question is like a child who is thirsty for knowledge, but unfortunately, except for the sentence 'Emperor Zuo hurts people', which everyone can say, Xiao Di can't explain anything.

"I don't have to understand." After a while, he said.

"You're not that kind of person, so you won't understand," he said. I'm not that kind of person, so Pei Yaowei, you don't need to understand in the future. ”

She grabbed the hem of his shirt, closed her eyes tightly, nodded, paused, and shook her head again.

"But I'm scared," she said. ”

This time Pan Ruohui's matter can be regarded as completely provoking her tendons, "I'm getting more and more scared now—as long as I think that Xiao Zhu is still alive, as long as I think of his lackeys in Yuze Palace, I'm afraid." ”

She thought that Jiguang's purpose of chasing Hua Dushi was also what scared her, but if she really wanted to talk about it, what Jiguang wanted was only the one that scared her the most of all things, but Xiao Zhu ...... is the person who scares her the most between heaven and earth.

Xiao Di was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Yao, do you think that it was those strangers in Yuze Palace who killed you back then?" ”

He was a little cautious in his words, and at a certain moment, Pei Yao vaguely understood something, but he didn't have time to think about it.

She sat up straight, looked at him and nodded, "Or else?" ”

Xiao Di looked at her for a long time, and finally shook his head and said nothing.

"Nothing." He grabbed her again, rubbed his chin against the top of her head, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let him live long."

You can rest assured. ”

In the next few days, Pan Guifei claimed to be ill and closed her door. The funeral of the Queen Mother was solemnly handled, but the uproar in the Chongtian Palace that night seemed to have come to an abrupt end since Pan Guifei's faintness, and there was no more follow-up.

In Heshou Palace, Empress Dowager Li used half a bird's nest, and when she handed the jade bowl to the palace maid next to her, she casually asked about the situation in front of the spirit.

The palace maid said, for several days, the emperor has insisted on guarding the spirit in person, I heard that the body can no longer bear it, the soup in the hospital is more than water and rice, and the concubines in the harem are so anxious that they dare not persuade it.

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, a smile of unknown meaning spread on her lips: "The emperor is filial." ”

It's just such a big filial son, who put the murderer who killed his mother, but he played a set of turning a blind eye, and I don't know whether it is true filial piety or fake filial piety.

The palace maid peeked at her mood and said from the side: "Niangniang, this afternoon, the one from Qiongxuan Palace came over again." ”

Empress Dowager Li raised her eyebrows: "Or is it for the Pan family?" ”

The palace maid nodded, "Qiongxuan Palace's idea is needless to say. It's just Niangniang, the Empress Dowager Liang is the Queen Mother, there is such a thing in this palace, and it is obvious that this part has been investigated, but there is no follow-up at this time...... People are not happy, don't you really want to say something? ”

Empress Dowager Li has the heart to say that his own mother died in vain, and he is not in a hurry, so why are others in a hurry? It's just that when I think about it again, it's about the dignity of the Queen Mother, and I don't think about the Liang family, I just think about myself, and I really shouldn't say nothing.

Thinking of this, she exhaled and asked the palace maid, "Is the emperor still in front of the spirit at the moment?" ”

The palace maid replied, and the Empress Dowager Li nodded, and then ordered to prepare a sedan chair.

She thought that the emperor insisted on guarding the spirit, and those people in the harem should be full of spirit one by one, and knelt in the mourning hall for fear of falling behind, but she didn't want to, when she arrived, only Sun Zhifang led a few palace people outside the hall to serve, and as for the palace, there was only Xiao Zhu himself.

Seeing the queen mother coming from afar, Sun Zhifang hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Empress Dowager Li glanced in the direction of the main hall, frowned, and said, "Where is the emperor inside?" ”

Sun Zhifang replied, and said that one night, His Majesty issued a holy decree, telling all the palace ladies to go back, only saying that he would kneel before the spirit of the Virgin Mary to mourn.

"There's not a single one in there to serve?"

Sun Zhifang shook his head carefully.

"Ridiculous!" Empress Dowager Li said, "The emperor has been injured recently, and he is alone in the palace, what if there is a mistake?" You are also the old man next to the emperor, even if he doesn't let people follow, you should also take care of it! ”

Sun Zhifang has a hard time speaking, and he can only say that the queen mother and the queen mother have taught him a lesson.

Empress Dowager Li knew that he was perfunctory, so she didn't say anything more, only said that she would go in and have a look, so she left the accompanying palace people outside and entered the hall alone.
