The moment he stepped out of the gate of Chongtian Palace, Pei Yaoyan's face sank, and his steps became faster.

She instructed as she walked: "Fangyue will go to Heshou Palace immediately, if I don't leave Changqiu Palace for a day, you will stay there for a day, and you don't have to come back." ”

Fangyue understood, said that the slave maid understood, and went straight to Heshou Palace.

Sitting on the phoenix, she said neatly: "Go to the hall of success." ”

"Master," Xiuxing followed her, and walked out for a while before she carefully asked, "The matter of the King of Chu...... Do you want the slave to check? ”

"You're going to check?" Pei Yaowei immediately sneered: "Heh, at this time, what can the people around me find out?" ”

Xiuxing was stunned for a moment and thought about it, isn't that what happened! The emperor is suspicious of the queen, at this moment, I am afraid that the whole Changqiu Palace is being targeted, if he really starts to investigate, and does not say whether he can find anything, this move alone may increase the emperor's suspicions.

She frowned and whispered, "...... The slave was confused. ”

Pei Yao turned his finger and said slowly, "Don't worry." ”

She took Pei Qingtan out of the Yecheng Palace and returned to the Changqiu Palace, even if someone closed the palace door, and ordered that from now on, except for the people sent by the Chongtian Palace and the Xiancui Palace, she would not see anyone.

The melodious tune rises from under the corridor, slowly impregnating the entire palace, on the fourth day of the closing of the Changqiu Palace, the wind and the sun are beautiful, Pei Yao leans on the beauty couch under the corridor, while flipping the book, while listening to the sound of Qingtan.

"Wrong." Suddenly, she suddenly said lightly.

The sound of the gonghou stopped.

"Auntie......" Qing Tan leaned crookedly on the edge of Gong Hou, flattened her mouth, the boss looked at Pei Yao unhappily, and asked pitifully: "Can you stop learning?" ”

Pei Yao didn't raise his head, and said with a casual smile: "I asked you to choose a silk tube to learn, but now you have to give up halfway?" ”

Qingtan got up and came to her side.

"Then I chose Konghou because I want you to teach me!" As she spoke, she remembered something and looked at Su Xue on the side, "Hehe, it's not that Aunt Su Xue is embarrassed to teach!" ”

Su Xue snorted and ignored her honey mouth.

"Auntie, you can teach Qingtan in person! Qingtan wants to learn from you! Qing Tan said as he started to pull her, making Pei Yao dizzy, and the book couldn't hold it steadily.

"I don't play." No matter how coquettish this girl is, Pei Yaowei didn't mean to let go, and later, she let out a deep sigh, put the book down, spread out her two palms and began to fool people: "My fingers are not divided, and your second uncle used to say that my two paws are duck webs, and I can't play well." ”

Qing Tan was not discouraged and was about to speak again, but this was the palace gate of Changqiu Palace, but it moved.

Pei Yaowei handed Su Xue a color, and Su Xue led Qing Tan and entered the hall.

After a while, I saw Xiuxing leading a person into the court, and said closely: "Master, Aunt Xin Ci is here." ”

The person who came was a woman of some age, with a good appearance and a decent dress, and there was always a little sadness between her eyebrows and eyes, as if she was worried all the time.

Pei Yao straightened up and sat up a little more upright.

"Slave maid see the queen's mother, the mother is happy and happy!"

Pei Yao smiled, exempted her from etiquette, and gave her a seat.

"Auntie came so fast!" She sighed: "I thought that it would take ten days and half a month for the Holy Lord to disappear before you could come and see me!" ”

"!" Aunt Xin Ci's eyebrows deepened, and she sighed helplessly for a long time.

She is Xiao Zhu's nursing mother, since he was born, she has been with him to take care of and serve, Xiao Chai respects her, and there is no difference between respecting Empress Dowager Liang. And she knows Xiao Zhu, but she is a hundred times better than Empress Dowager Liang.

"The slave has taken care of His Majesty since he was a child, and he has never seen him so angry, why does Niang Niang think that ten days and half a month is enough for His Majesty to dissipate his anger?"

Pei Yao raised her eyebrows, and her voice slowed down: "Auntie is here to ask for the guilt of Xingshi?" ”

"Slaves don't dare!" Aunt Xin Ci bowed her head, and after a moment, she said bitterly: "The slave maid wants to reconcile with His Majesty as before." ”

Pei Yaowei nodded.

"I believe it." She said: "This is all over the palace, and my aunt said this, which is really sincere." ”

The atmosphere gradually eased, and Aunt Xin Ci patiently persuaded her: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty's temperament, the slave and maid know best. Your Majesty cares about Niangniang - the more he cares, the more nervous he becomes, and the more he can't tolerate the slightest mistake or omission. Otherwise, he would never have just listened to the concubine's instigation and made such a big deal of anger with you! ”

"Niangniang, you listen to the slave maid's advice, just give in to Your Majesty, and turn the fold over earlier! The defeat of Wuhualing is still in sight, and General Liang has also been martyred, Your Majesty feels uncomfortable! ”

Hearing this, Pei Yaowei suddenly laughed.

She asked lightly: "Auntie, your majesty questioned me about my fornication with the king of Chu in front of the concubines of the six palaces, will I feel good?" ”

"Niangniang...... Aunt Xin Ci showed a trace of distress on her face, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "The slave maid does not want to exonerate Your Majesty, and the slave maid also believes that in this matter, Your Majesty has wronged Niangniang, but everything must have a cause...... Rong Nuwen said something that I don't know my identity, it is really inappropriate for you to use the king of Chu as the commander earlier! ”

Well, the use of the king of Chu is also a matter of using the king of Chu.

At the beginning of the year, Xiao was seriously ill, and an edict entrusted her with full authority for military affairs. At that time, Liang Zhou had been fighting for more than a year, and the front line was deadlocked, and day after day, what was reported to her was either money and food, or the number of dead and wounded.

Xiang Tao, Pan Xian, Qin Libei, Jiang Yi, fought on several fronts, and no one was stunned that no one could make any breakthroughs. In the long run, if not defeated, it will be consumed.

Why doesn't she know how risky it is to use Xiao Di?

- Not only is it unnecessary suspicion on herself, but more importantly, she is risking the safety of the beam.

But she still tried her best to defy the public opinion and made that decree.

For more than half a month after the edict was issued, she hardly slept well.

Day and night, she either guarded Xiao Zhu in Chongtian Palace, or fidgeted in Lingyun Palace. She was afraid that Xiao Di would not be able to enter her wish to protect her family and defend the country.

She was also afraid that Xiao Di would use the military power she gave her to dig a grave for her in turn.

After the endless anxiety and worry, the news came from the front line that the victory of the Split Earth Pass and the defeat of the Zhou army by His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Xiao Di recovered the lost land and extended the sideline forward for hundreds of miles until it reached Wuhualing.

That is, a few days ago, during the first battle of Wuhualing, Princess Zhen'an changed generals and appointed a horse as the commander, and the two armies fought fiercely for more than a month, and the Liang army was defeated. Liang Song, who was arranged by Xiao to divide Xiao Di's military power, was wiped out. And Xiao Di ......

No one knows what's wrong with Xiao Di.

The henchmen and ministers around him blocked the tent and did not allow anyone to enter the tent, and the front line should be counted as the supervising army and deputy general, and no one had seen Xiao Di for a long time.

There are rumors outside, some people say that the king of Chu is seriously injured, some people say that he is dead, some people say that he was captured by the Zhou state, and some people say that he is secretly organizing forces, planning to take the opportunity to raise troops to rebel and force the palace to seize the throne.

The women in the harem can't see the major events of the family and country thousands of miles away. All they know is that since they are nowhere to be seen, they can be anywhere.

Liang Yanyu seized this opportunity, and took advantage of Pei Yao's visit to Zhaoye Temple to frame her and Xiao Di for a private meeting in the temple.

…… Is there really physical evidence?

Thinking of this, Pei Yao's eyes deepened slightly.

At that end, Aunt Xin Ci felt sorry for Xiao Chai and didn't dare to answer her words, so she only said: "Your Majesty is worried about the frontline now, and the slave wants to ask the mother to be more considerate." When the current difficulties are over, the slave and maid will persuade Your Majesty to excuse your misunderstanding! ”

Pei Yaowei didn't listen to her two words. While thinking about something, she whispered: "I have an affair with Xiao Di......"

These words came out of her mouth, causing Aunt Xin Ci's heart to tremble.

"Mother's ......"

Pei Yaowei turned her eyes to look at her, ignoring her panic, and asked thoughtlessly: "Auntie, do you know what the physical evidence that Your Majesty holds in her hand is?" ”

Aunt Xin Ci was stunned for a while, and after a while, she also saw that she was not joking, but she could only shake her head and say, "The slave doesn't know." The slave only knew that His Majesty had obtained that thing from Zhaoye Temple, and then she was very annoyed and took it herself, and no one was allowed to see it. ”

It seems that there really is such a thing.

After a while, Pei Yaowei retracted her mind and smiled with her: "My aunt came over today and said these words of persuasion, I listened to it, and I also thanked my aunt for being willing to believe me." Now that I am in the Changqiu Palace, I am in the wind, and every move of the people in the palace is watched by His Majesty. ”

Aunt Xin Ci is a smart person, and when she heard this, she understood at that time.

She got up and asked, "What does Niang Niang want the slave to do?" ”

"Embroidered stars."

Xiuxing answered, and after a short time, he took out a letter from the library and handed it to Aunt Xin Ci.

Pei Yao said: "I wrote a letter and asked my aunt to try to send it to the southern Shen Mansion, Princess Rongxuan, as soon as possible." ”

Aunt Xin Ci did not shirk. She glanced at Pei Yaoyan deeply, and when she left, she left a word that reassured her.

"Master, this Aunt Xinci ......" Xiuxing watched her back disappear outside the palace gate, and asked worriedly, "Do you trust her too much?" ”

Pei Yao only said: "She is Xiao Zhu's side, a rare person who understands." ”

While speaking, as soon as she turned around, she saw that Xiuxing had a note in her hand, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Xiuxing presented the note, "Concubine Xian Niangniang just sent someone to bring a snack, and the slave maid broke it piece by piece, and it was hidden inside." ”

Pei Yaowei hurriedly looked at it, her eyebrows tightened.

Xiuxing said carefully: "Niangniang, isn't it good?" ”

She shook her head.

"The people of the Xiang clan can't find out about Xiao Di."

Slowly sat down, she rubbed the corners of her forehead, closed her eyes and said: "In the battle of Wuhualing, it is not a pity to break Liang Song, but Xiao Di has not shown up until now......"

Xiuxing was slightly startled, "You...... Are you worried about him? ”

Pei Yaowei shook her head.

Her face was heavy, and her heart was full of puzzlement: "What is the origin of this Zhen'an horse, and who can hand in such an answer sheet when he goes to the battlefield for the first time?" ”
