Chapter 41: Gold in All Mouths (12)

"Yu Linwei is really getting more and more promising!"

The next day, in front of the cold palace, Fang Yue scolded Yu Linwei, who was blocking the queen mother: "The queen mother's phoenix driver dares to stop it, I think you can't recognize who the master is!" ”

The head of the guard clenched his fists and said: "The queen mother is angry!" Wei Chen and others acted on the orders of the emperor, and there was a decree in the saint that no one was allowed to step into the cold palace, please be considerate, don't be embarrassed by the ministers! ”

Pei Yaowei nodded understandingly.

"This palace doesn't embarrass you." She said with a smile, then turned her head and called out to the moon.

As soon as Fang Yue responded, she listened to her instructions: "Go and get a chair, there is nothing to do left and right, and the palace will sit in front of this cold palace." ”

The guard chief's face changed.

The queen said that she was sitting, and she was really sitting. She even brought a book from the Changqiu Palace herself, and the pheasant tail fan stood behind her, blocking the wind and dust and sunlight, so that she could take care of herself leisurely in this gloomy place.

What shattered this wonderful time was the palace eunuch's sharp voice, 'Your Majesty arrivedβ€”β€”! ’

Pei Yao read the next page unhurriedly, looked up at the sky, and finally got up and looked at Xiao Zhu, who was walking angrily.

She smiled lightly, saw the blessing of the body, and pretended to be puzzled: "Why did Your Majesty come in person?" At this hour, aren't you busy with government affairs ahead? ”

Busy, why not busy, but with such a queen, he is in the midst of his busy schedule, and he has to make time to go on this trip in person.

He glanced at the guards with an unkind gaze, and shook the few people one after another. Then he tried to suppress his anger and asked her, "What are you doing here?" ”

Pei Yao raised her eyebrows, and looked at the cold palace calmly.

She said leisurely: "In the end, I have known each other for many years, thinking that in winter, she should go, and the concubine also has some bad feelings in her heart, so she wants to come and see." Saying that, she couldn't help sighing: "Speaking of which, over the years, I have had something wrong with the abolished concubine, and this grievance is not good for her to take to the next life, so it is better to say it when she is alive." What do you think? ”

Xiao Chai took a deep breath and grabbed her wrist, "I think it's time for the queen to go back to the palace." ”

Pei Yao seemed to be stunned, the two were in a stalemate for a long time, and her face suddenly sank.

"Your Majesty, can't you trust me like that?" She looked at Xiao Zhu fixedly and asked coldly.

Xiao Zhu's face flashed for a moment of stunnedness, but he quickly returned to normal.

Pei Yaowei didn't seem to notice anything unusual, paused, and then asked: "You have issued an order to give Liang Yanyu to death, do you think that I can't wait like this, I can't allow her to live a few more days, so I have to get rid of her with dirty hands?" ”

When the words landed, she clearly felt that Xiao Zhu's hand on her wrist was slightly relieved.

When he spoke again, his tone was still non-negotiable, but he unconsciously gained a little more patience, "Empress, go back to the palace." This is not the place you should be. ”

"Oh, why do you bother, Your Majesty?" Pei Yaowei shook off his hand vigorously and sneered: "Since you are so reluctant to her, why should you give death against your will?" If you forgive her, I won't say anything. After all, who cares about me, the queen? ”

After speaking, she ignored Xiao Zhu's getting worse and worse face, and said straight to her body: "The concubine retires!" And he threw himself away.

Behind her, Xiao closed his eyes and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yue followed her footsteps closely and persuaded from the side: "Master, don't be angry! ”

"Didn't move." Pei Yaowei said that, and immediately reacted, his tone here was probably not convincing.

She deliberately glanced at Fang Yue, and the moment their eyes met, Fang Yue couldn't help but be stunned-

She could see that the master's eyes were clear and calm at this time, and he was really not angry.

Isn't it...... Everything in front of the cold palace is acting?

After returning to Changqiu Palace, Pei Yaowei said to her: "I really didn't move at all. ”

She said: "Xiao Zhu is not reluctant to let Liang Yanyu die, he is afraid that she will live...... Say something to others that shouldn't be said. ”

Fang Yue was startled, "What do you mean......" She guessed with the courage to guess, "Your Majesty is in such a hurry to give death this time, just to ...... Extinguish? ”

Pei Yaowei shook her head.

"The death is because Liang Yanyu has made a big mistake this time, and he has to deal with it." She took the tea handed by Xiuxing and moistened her throat, "And once this mortal ending is decided, Xiao Zhu will let her die quickly - this is the end of the mouth." ”

I heard that even the people of Jingci Palace were blocked out of the cold palace, so she had such an inference in her heart, and when she tried it today, she confirmed her guess.

Her long fingers gently rubbed the lines on the cup, and she continued: "However, the ancestors have rules, and if they give the palace concubine to death, they must be in winter, otherwise I am afraid that the luck of the country will be hurt." Xiao Zhu has always attached the most importance to these things, so naturally he will not take the risk of colliding. Therefore, he could only guard around Liang Yanyu and isolate her from the outside world, so that she had nowhere to say anything. ”

"But...... Why? "Xiuxing thought about it left and right, and didn't have a clue," Liang Yanyu ...... What secrets can she know about His Majesty? ”

This is also something that Pei Yaowei can't figure out.

Even the fact that he buried so many biological children with his own hands, he knows everything clearly, what secret can make him so secretive about himself?

Sighing tiredly, she closed her eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Xiao Zhu...... How many other evil things have you done?

"What is the master going to do?" After a long time, Fang Yue said tentatively: "Do you want to find out to the end, or let her go?" ”

Pei Yao pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Let me think about it." ”

"Let me think again......"

Liang Yanyu's death date was in winter, and there were times when she was not in a hurry.

A few days later, Pei Yaowei went to the Yecheng Hall to see Qing Tan, and after sitting on the ground for a while, Aunt Xin Ci came.

"Your Majesty heard that the princess did not have a good appetite during lunch, and she didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, so he specially ordered the imperial dining room to make a few snacks that the princess loved to eat, and asked the slave maid to bring them to the princess." Aunt Xin Ci's face was pleasant, and as she spoke, she set the table in person, and beckoned Qingtan and said, "The princess should eat some food, so that Your Majesty can rest assured!" ”

Qingtan pursed her lips, although a table of delicious food could not arouse her interest, but for the last half of Aunt Xinci's words, she still sat down at the table honestly, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth.

Taking advantage of this moment, Aunt Xin Ci invited the queen to the side and said a lot of words of persuasion for the matter in front of the cold palace that day.

"Auntie doesn't have to worry about it, it's not a big deal." She said.

Aunt Xin Ci said bitterly: "The matter of the Liang family, the mother has suffered a great grievance, it is impossible for Your Majesty not to feel sorry for the mother, but the Liang family is ...... Aside from the identity of the concubine, she is still His Majesty's cousin, for so many years, there is always love, Your Majesty is not a ruthless person, once she dies, there will always be unbearable. ”

Pei Yao smiled lightly, "I understand." Auntie, that's not what Your Majesty makes me feel cold. ”

Aunt Xin Ci looked puzzled.

Pei Yao sighed, and said half-truthfully: "From the matter of Zhaoye Temple, to the cold palace that day...... What I can't get over in my heart is his distrust of me. ”

"I went to the cold palace, just to see Liang Yanyu, many things over the years, I have doubts in my heart, I want to ask her, that's all. But Your Majesty ......" she smiled bitterly and shook her head, "and the matter of the last Zhaoye Temple, even if those sisters-in-law recruited perjury, Your Majesty didn't believe me in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to show me the so-called physical evidence until now." ”

Hearing her say this, Aunt Xin Ci's face turned pale.

"The physical evidence ......" After hesitating for a long time, she made up her mind and said: "I don't dare to hide it from my mother, in fact, when the slave maid was serving in Chongtian Palace a few days ago, I caught up with His Majesty to take out the 'physical evidence' and look at it. ”

Pei Yao frowned and didn't hurry to speak.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's a purse, and the slave guesses that it's mostly the stuff of the King of Chu? ”

Pouch?

Purse......

"Thank you, auntie." After a while, she said, "It's just that Your Majesty is still holding it now, probably, you still doubt me in your heart!" ”

"Mother's ......"

Pei Yaowei shook her head, laughed at herself, and sighed twice.

After returning to the palace that night, she has been pondering, what kind of purse can make Xiao Zhu identify it, and it must be Xiao Di's thing?

"Will it ...... Is it something sent to the King of Chu from the hands of the Empress Dowager Li? Fang Yue followed her for a long time, and suddenly asked.

Pei Yao's eyebrows moved.

In the past few years, Empress Dowager Li has indeed prepared some things from time to time and sent them out of the palace to Xiao Di, Tiannan and Haibei, to talk about her mother's heart. But all the things that go out with Shou Palace have always been sent to Changqiu Palace first, checked by the hand of Fangyue, and then sent to Lingyun Palace, and then checked by Sun Zhifang, before they go all the way north and are sent to Xiao Di.

"What do you mean......" Pei Yao said slowly: "That purse was recognized by Sun Zhifang because he passed through Sun Zhifang's eyes, it should be the thing of the King of Chu?" ”

Fang Yue nodded and said: "Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense, thousands of miles apart, and I haven't seen you for a long time, how will Your Majesty know what kind of purse King Chu is carrying?" ”

This is a clever way to blame the blame, and it can't be too deliberate, so the method of half-covering up and half-revealing is very appropriate.

Pei Yaowei also felt that Fangyue's guess was very possible, but when she thought of her purse, she faintly felt that there was something related to this in front of her, but for a while, she couldn't think of anything.

After a while, she asked Fang Yue: "What Heshou Palace sent out, if you were asked to look at it again, you might recognize it?" ”

Fang Yue nodded, "Nine times out of ten." ”

Pei Yaowei had a plan in her heart, and after resting this night, the next day, she asked Xiuxing to keep an eye on the movements of Chongtian Palace, and as soon as she heard that Xiao Zhuxuan had announced that the important ministers were discussing politics in Lingyun Palace, she immediately took Fangyue and went to Chongtian Palace.

Sun held the direction to follow Xiao Zhu, he was not there at the moment, Pei Yaowei only said that he wanted to go in and wait for His Majesty, so he easily sent the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals and went straight to the palace.

Where will Xiao Chai put his things away?

It won't be a dormitory. She thought. He hated Xiao Di so much, it was impossible to put his things nearby, was it the East Warm Pavilion, the West Warm Pavilion, the front hall, the side hall, or ......

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, her eyes were certain, and she walked straight towards the study.
