This result is obviously not what Empress Dowager Liang is looking forward to the most, but it is better than returning in vain.

"That's it!" She sighed: "The Pan family is still pregnant with a child, and the mourning family is not a grandmother who does not care about the blood of the emperor's heir, so as the emperor said, the matter of the establishment of the future will be postponed, and the rest will be disposed of after the Pan family gives birth to the emperor's heir safely." ”

Xiao Zhuwei bowed his head and didn't say anything more. It was only later, when Empress Dowager Liang was about to leave, she stopped Princess Chu.

"Princess, stand still." He said, "Regarding Aunt Song, I still have a few words to explain to the princess. ”

When Empress Dowager Liang heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

She wanted to do something, but she was afraid that she would act deliberately, and then provoke the emperor's suspicion, and after thinking about it, she only glanced at Princess Chu fiercely when she was about to go out, and gave her all warnings.

As soon as Empress Dowager Liang left, Pei Yaowei exhaled a long breath, and the whole person seemed to be relaxed.

Xiao Zhuzi took her reaction into his eyes.

"Are you so afraid of Our Lady?" He got up and walked up to her, with a shallow smile in his eyebrows, and looked down at her and said, "Now there are only two people left in the palace, you and me, if you dare not say anything in front of the Holy Mother, you can say it to me at this moment." ”

"Your Majesty," Pei Yaowei lowered his head deeply, and his spirit was relaxed, and it seemed that after his words, he became nervous again. She said slowly: "There are too many things that have happened today, the concubine is very panicked, this heart is panicked, it is inevitable that she will not choose to speak, if it is ......"

As she spoke, she looked up at Xiao Yiyi and cautiously probed: "If Concubine Shicai said something that would harm others, can you please ask Your Majesty...... Haven't you heard of it? ”

Xiao was playful.

"That's going to be hard." After pondering for a moment, he seemed to be embarrassed: "Do you know what kind of crime it is to talk nonsense in front of the Son of Heaven?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the person in front of him became anxious, looking panicked and afraid, and before he could say anything, tears fell first.

"What's wrong?" Xiao was stunned one by one, hurriedly took the handkerchief in her hand, wiped her tears with his own hands, and said with a wry smile: "Why are you crying?" I teased you, how could I really deal with you......"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were empty, and when he looked closely, he saw her kneeling neatly and resolutely, and she looked like she was guilty of pleading.

"Your Majesty!" Pei Yao hung her head and cried: "The concubine is guilty! No matter what you do, the concubine has no complaints, just ...... Just beg Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine's family! Concubine Xian Niangniang and the third brother, they have nothing to do with this matter! ”

Xiao frowned one by one, bent down and helped her, but she avoided her.

"What the hell is going on?" He straightened up and said in an unclear tone: "If you don't say, how do you want me to make the decision for you?" ”

She shook her head: "The concubine doesn't want to ask His Majesty to make the decision for the concubine, it's the concubine's own words and deeds, all the crimes are punished, the concubine is willing to bear it herself, but others ......" She raised her eyes full of tears, looked at him with great pleading, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to implicate others......"

"Really?" Xiao Zhu asked lightly: "Then tell me, how did you go against your words and deeds?" And how do you bring harm to others? ”

As soon as he asked, she lowered her head again, as if she were going to grit her teeth and never spit out.

There was no reply for a long time, his face was slightly gloomy, pondering, and he was about to threaten: "If you don't make it clear, then Pan Guifei ......"

"It has nothing to do with Pan Guifei! It's a concubine, it's all a concubine......"

"You?" Xiao Chai smiled, "Do you want to say that you made a fuss about the secrets of the palace in the past, and said those point-blank words in front of me - are you all doing it alone?" ”

As he spoke, he crouched down on his knees in front of her, reached out and stroked her chin lightly, moistening a finger.

"Xiangyu, you have to think clearly, if you want to bear it with all your might, then this crime will be big." He said, "What's more, where did you hear about those old things? In my opinion, the most likely one is the Manifest Palace, right? ”

As he expected, as soon as she heard the words 'Xian Cuigong', she immediately raised her head, her eyes widened, and she denied it with horror: "No! No! Your Majesty knows that this matter has nothing to do with the eldest sister! Please, don't wronged her! ”

Xiao got up, looked down at her, and said slowly, "It has to be related to someone." ”

However, even though he said it to this point, she still blindly lowered her head and shook her head, and only muttered: "It's me, it's all me...... No one else ......."

Only deep and shallow sobs remained in the hall.

"Alas! You girl! I don't know how long it took, Xiao Zhu sighed helplessly, his tense face suddenly relaxed, he bent down again, and pulled her up despite her refusal.

"Don't you really know who told you to say those things?" He brushed away a line of tears on her cheeks, and said in a deep voice: "Our Lady brought you over to see me so actively, and her intentions are so obvious, I am so stupid in your eyes?" Can't even see this? ”

"Your Majesty......" It was as if a secret that had been hidden for a long time had been revealed, and her face was flustered, and after a moment, she calmed down under his gaze.

She said timidly: "Your Majesty is naturally wise and martial, but it's just ...... The concubine selfishly felt that you would rather be stupid than ...... in this matter."

Speaking of this, without waiting for Xiao Zhu's reaction, she hurriedly lowered her head and confessed: "The concubine has lost her words, Your Majesty forgives her sins!" ”

After a while, she heard Xiao Zhu's bitter laughter.

He sighed heavily: "You all understand—you all know that this kind of thing will make me embarrassed, but my own mother wants to deceive me and calculate me like this, just for her own idea of liking and disliking selfishness......"

He looked miserable and helpless. But such emotions appeared on his face, but he could no longer move Pei Yao.

Her heart was as cold as iron, but on her face, she still looked extremely loving and pitiful, "Your Majesty, if you have any resentment in your heart, come to the concubine!" She said: "The concubine really doesn't want to see innocent people convicted because of the concubine's words, and she doesn't want you to hurt the mother-son relationship with the Virgin." ”

"I know." He nodded, and the gaze that fell on her was momentarily apprehensive and gratifying, and praised: "It's rare that you have this heart, I know it." ”

After his mind calmed down a little, Pei Yaowei asked him how he planned to deal with this matter and how to find a balance between Our Lady and Concubine Pan. Xiao Zhu only told her that she didn't have to worry about Concubine Pan, "Since I know the truth, I naturally won't blame Concubine for this." You can rest assured that whatever happens to her in the future has nothing to do with what you say today. ”

Xiao Zhu's words were naturally to comfort her, but Pei Yaowei also heard a different taste from them.

She thought: It seems that Xiao Zhu does have plans to dispose of Pan Ruohui.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhu saw that her eyes were down, and there was a faint sadness in her expression, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and thought about it: "Are you still sad for Aunt Song?" ”

Pei Yao came back to his senses, looked at him earnestly, and shook his head, "Your Majesty trusts the concubine so much, there are some words, the concubine is really ...... I really dare not say it. ”

Xiao Zhu's face turned pale, and the two points of pleasure that he finally revealed disappeared for a while.

"If you have something to say, don't hide it from me." He said.

"Before Yuhua Zhenren died, the concubine did go to visit, and ...... at that time" Pei Yao hesitated again and again, and then whispered: "At that time, the real person did say some words, but they were all incoherent and incomprehensible. ”

She pretended to be timid and uneasy on her face, but in her heart, she took out ten percent of her spirit and paid attention to Xiao Zhu's reaction.

However, before she could finish speaking, she realized that she was thinking too much.

- There is no need to be so nervous, but anyone with eyes can see how His Majesty the Emperor reacted when he heard his words.

He grabbed her shoulders and asked, "What the hell did she say?!" ”

Even though he was prepared, Pei Yaowei was still taken aback by his reaction.

"Concubine...... Concubine heard that Yuhua Zhenren was your cousin, right? As she spoke, she deliberately softened her tone, made a gesture of comfort, and tried her best to say soft words to reassure him: "When the real person is in a trance, the most he reads is a 'cousin', which shows that the real person treats His Majesty with deep affection. ”

But these words were obviously useless to Xiao Zhu, he stared at her deadly, blindly asking: "What else did she say?" ”

"And ...... It's something that the concubine hasn't understood very well. She asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, Yuhua Zhenren was the same as the wife of the second son of the Pei family in the past, Pan Shi...... Familiar? ”

As soon as these words came out, her shoulders ached, and she had the illusion that she was almost crushed.

"She mentioned Pan Tian?" Xiao asked word by word, "What did she say?" ”

"No, nothing...... Yuhua Zhenren is delirious, and he speaks in a mouthful of words, except for calling you, he has only mentioned Pan's name twice, and then there is ......"

"What's it?!"

Pei Yao shook her head again and again, tears appeared in her eyes again, and she said tightly: "It's really nothing!" The real person only said that she promised you, and she did it, and there is nothing else! ”

Xiao Chai gasped.

Is that what Smoke and Rain say?

She really ...... Didn't say anything else?

Pei Yao looked at his face, and asked in a low voice for a long time: "Your Majesty, did the concubine say something wrong?" Don't be angry, beware of hurting yourself......"

Xiao Chai looked at her coldly and asked, "She mentioned me and Pan Tian, and she said that she did everything she promised me-" He took a deep breath and continued, "Then did she tell you what she promised me?" ”

For a moment, he saw the doubt in her eyes.

This sporadic doubt made him feel at ease.

Pei Yaowei shook her head and told him no, she said, Yuhua Zhenren didn't say anything else.

"Your Majesty...... Yuhua Zhenren's words, is it important? ”

"It really doesn't matter." "It didn't matter for a long time," he said. ”
