Chapter 8 The Dumb Eat Coptis chinensis

Pei Yao's hand flipping through the book froze there, and all the righteousness seemed to have died down at this moment.

She said 'you, you, me, and me' for a long time, but she couldn't say why.

What do you want to say about this?

In the twenty-first year of Wu Yao, when the first emperor was seriously ill and dying, he sent a special order to order the king of Chu to go north to become a vassal. By the time Xiao Zhu ascended the throne in May, Xiao Di had already settled down in Linyuan City peacefully.

Inside and outside the dusty capital, anyone with eyes can see that the first emperor in the end, although he passed the throne to Xiao Zhu, in his heart, after all, he still wanted to protect Xiao Di. This incident made Xiao Chai's hatred for Xiao Di multiply several times one after another, so that at the beginning of his ascension, he hated to spend every moment thinking about how to get rid of Xiao Di.

At that time, Pei Yaowei also hated Xiao Di, but she was much calmer than Xiao Zhu, knowing that the new emperor ascended the throne, in addition to attacking his opponents, there were still many things to do to help the world - that was the real thing that could not be delayed.

So one day, when Xiao Zhu was having dinner in Changqiu Palace, she talked to him, advising him to put aside the affairs in the north for the time being, or to put more energy into pacifying the people, and after the people's hearts were attached, it was not too late to think about anything else.

Unexpectedly, these words actually opened up another completely different way of getting along between her and Xiao Zhu.

"Put the things of the North on hold?" When Xiao Zhu heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and in front of the palace people, he didn't leave any room at all, and asked her directly: "What, are you afraid that I will hurt him, and I can't bear it?" ”

This was the first time Xiao Chai had questioned her so sharply.

Facing his suspicious eyes, for a moment, Pei Yao's whole person was stunned.

- She felt that the person in front of her was something she had never seen before.

When she came back to her senses, she first sent away all the palace people who were serving on the side, then put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth unhurriedly, and finally looked at him calmly.

"What can't I bear? Can't bear the death of King Chu? ”

She snorted softly, shook her head, and told him patiently: "I can't bear that you have just ascended the throne, and you have lost all the good reputation accumulated in the past ten years during the princely period." ”

Just imagine, which Ming monarch ascended the throne, it was a benevolent government, and he only thought about how to kill each other?

But Xiao Qi's suspicions arose, and she seemed to get into the tip of the horns, no matter how she whispered, she only felt that it was because of her weak heart.

"Oh, yes." He smirked indifferently, looked away, and took a sip of his glass.

Under the table, Pei Yao clasped her hands together, trying her best to suppress her temper. After thinking about it, she still tried her best to say: "But what happened in the court today that makes you unhappy?" ”

"What can happen in the court. I am the Son of Heaven, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, who dares to go against my meaning? As he spoke, he glanced at her intentionally and said with deep meaning: "After all, it doesn't stop, it's always within the walls!" ”

It's all said and done, no matter how much you endure it, it won't be her.

"Did I upset you?" She chuckled, her eyes were cold, "I persuaded you to work benevolently and stop killing, was it my mistake?" ”

Xiao Zhu's face flashed with anger, and he slapped his palm on the dining table, Huo Ran got up: "Then it depends on who you persuade me not to kill!" ”

“…… I see. ”

After a while, she nodded, still sitting there, and asked calmly: "You mean, in the future, when it comes to Xiao Di, I can't speak, and when I speak, I will speak towards him, right?" ”

Xiao Chai glared at her, as if he was angry, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

That was the first time the words 'entrusted to non-human' flashed in Pei Yao's mind.

"I accompanied you to this position, and to this day, you are going to suspect that I am not clear with him?"

She wanted to ask him: In that case, why did you go earlier? Why did you bother to find Zhaoye Temple in the first place, and you had to pull me to cooperate with you?

However, at that time, she still had some expectations for Xiao Zhu.

So, she didn't ask that.

She just made a rare compromise, nodded her head, and told him, "In that case, you can do whatever you want." It's about the North, and I'll do whatever you want. ”

So, after the morning of the next day, Xiao Zhu left Jiang Yi in Lingyun Palace. In the evening, an edict came out - it was the Son of Heaven who pretended to be the queen of the middle palace and gave the sister of Lianchuan Bo Jiang Yi to the king of Chu as a side concubine.

At that time, Pei Yaowei heard the news in Changqiu Palace, endured and endured, and finally smashed the paperweight at hand.

At that time, what she hated was Xiao Zhu's distrust of herself.

And today, in the face of Xiao Di's seemingly true and false complaints, she really became a dumb person and ate Coptis chinensis, and she couldn't say her bitterness.

Seeing that she had been rubbing for a long time and didn't say a complete word, Xiao Mile was happy, rubbed her neck and asked, "What are you babbling about?" Do you also think that I am very pitiful, I can't even do the major marriage events, so I can only let the confused old man mess with the mandarin duck spectrum? ”

Pei Yaowei secretly muttered in her heart, 'Who is confused', and then snorted unconvinced, "Do you know that it must be the score that Empress Renyi gave you?" ”

Xiao Di's heart moved, "This is strange!" The oracle of marriage is clearly written, who else could it be if it wasn't her? No, it's the rain that blinds me, right? ”

Hearing this, she carefully controlled the distance and glanced at him, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

Xiao Di was a little stunned by this look.

"Don't you know what kind of temperament the son of heaven is?" She said: "It is clear that he is the one who gave the marriage edict, but in this edict, I want to mention Queen Renyi more, what is it for?"

I'm afraid you're not repulsive enough to reject Concubine Jiang? Or are you afraid that you have forgotten the bad relationship of Queen Tongrenyi? ”

As soon as she said this, he realized it and came back to the taste.

Xiao Zhu was so suspicious, when he sent Jiang Yi's sister to his side, he actually had the intention of surveillance. But he just wanted to emphasize that this was what Pei Yaowei meant, why?

In the past, he was so angry that he never thought much about it.

Now, it seems, is more like a demonstration.

- A kind of superfluous demonstration.

Obviously, at that time, he and Pei Yaowei had already fought to the death, and Xiao Zhu shouldn't have had the need to do this. But he is still so deliberate, it is like a kind of unconfident bluff, coaxing people to play.

“…… Is it so......" He muttered in a low voice, his eyes lit up, and he asked her, "Is that so?" ”

"How do I know?" Pei Yaowei turned his head, rolled his eyes, and muttered, "Think about it yourself, you ......"

Let's say that now that the New Year is approaching, everything is going on at home and abroad, Xiao Di relied on his amnesia, and directly started to be the shopkeeper, and all matters big and small were pushed to her, although Gu Zijun and others were quite cooperative, but after half a month, she was really tired.

This night, in the warm pavilion of the Hebi Palace, Pei Yaowei went through all the account books in the Nianxia Mansion and handed them over to the specific arrangements for the instant rain, turned around and put down the pen, and rubbed his face a few times, but he couldn't rub away the sad face on his face.

Xiao Di was crooked on the other side of the Luohan couch, boredly flipping through the music score, and when he saw her like this, he laughed.

"What's wrong?" He leaned in front of her and asked with a smile: "If you encounter something difficult, say it and help you figure it out for your husband." ”

Now, Pei Yaowei wanted to cry when she looked at him.

She pulled out a piece of newspaper and threw it at him, "Since accumulation-" She coughed, feeling a lot of energy: "Since my father went to the south to replace you, he has been there for more than half a month, and he has not fought against the Pan family. The court issued several holy edicts to urge, but they were all carried down by him.

The Pan family, taking advantage of the past half a month, secretly dispatched his own soldiers, planning to retreat south in a roundabout way. But within a hundred miles of withdrawal, he was intercepted by the troops led by the Nianzhou Thorn History, completely curbing the retreat. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed, leaned down on the small case tiredly, and wilted: "Now that the matter of the Pan family has settled, the Pan family and his wife have been taken into custody by the Nianzhou Assassin History, and they will be escorted to Beijing on the same day." The second son is also safe and sound, but ......"

Xiao Di snorted meaninglessly, threw the report away, and gently rubbed her head, "It's just that the Jiyang County Princess's going to be in trouble." ”

Isn't it?

"As the commander-in-chief, he refused to send troops for more than half a month, and let the great enemy on the verge of rout slip away under his nose......" Pei Yao frowned: "This is enough for the emperor to fall." The crime of delaying the fighter plane is light! ”

Xiao Di saw that she had complained enough, so she smiled faintly and asked her, "What are you worried about?" ”

He said: "Do you think that the Duke of Jiyang County has been up and down in the court for many years, and if he dares to do this, he doesn't know what will be waiting for him later?" ”

Pei Yao sat up.

"I know!" She said: "Before the war, the second son had fallen into the hands of the Pan family, and there was a good chance that the Pan family used his life to coerce his father, so that he did not dare to send troops without authorization.

Going further, the reason why the emperor asked his father to replace you should be to see this point, hoping that his father can be coerced by the Pan family, so that this great credit will not fall on your head, nor on the head of the Xiang family and the Qin family. Including the reason why the state assassin was able to intercept the Pan couple so steadily that year, it is estimated that it was because of the emperor's instructions early in the morning! ”

Xiao Di asked: "You can see it so clearly, what are you worried about?" He said jokingly: "Don't you watch the monstrous work go down the drain, and your heart is not worth it?" ”

She rolled her eyes and snorted, and her mood stabilized a little, but it was a sigh.

"Have you ever thought about it, father-" She and Xiao Di looked at each other, and there was an unspeakable secret in their eyes: "Jiyang County Prince, why are you willing to fall for it?" ”

Xiao Di's fingers playing with her hair paused slightly.

At this time, there was a knock at the door outside the temple.

The people who came in were the rain of an instant.

Looking at the time, Pei Yaowei was a little surprised and asked her what happened.

The expression on Instant Yu's face was quite complicated, like joy and worry.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess," she bowed to each other, and then said to Xiao Diyu: "It's the little prince, the little prince is back!" ”
