Xiao Di didn't know where his mother could see that she was satisfied, and obviously she hadn't said a word since she entered the door.

He put down the white jade cup, as if he didn't care: "It's just a concubine, who to marry is not to marry." ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled at first, and then sighed: "In this case, why has the queen mother chosen so many virtuous ladies for you over the past few years, and you don't want any of them, but you want her?" ”

He frowned and looked at his mother: "The queen mother knows why." ”

Marrying each other is obviously a matter of clear intentions, but when the mother said it, it didn't add to the ambiguity.

Empress Dowager Li smiled and bowed: "Well, you said with your mother that you married her because of Xiao Zhu." He looked at his son, and the words changed: "Then I won't marry in the past few years, but for Pan Tian?" ”

Xiao Di's fingers on his knees stiffened slightly.

His brows deepened, as if he was thinking about how to answer, and when Empress Dowager Li saw this, she only assumed that he acquiesced.

"You kid......" She stroked the pearl tassel string on her sideburns, and said abruptly: "Over the years, the queen mother knows that you are bitter in your heart, so even if the Pan family can't be on the stage again, you will go anyway, in order to take care of your thoughts, the queen mother has never said that she is bad in front of you." But it's different now. ”

She looked at her son, her eyes full of worry, "Empress Dowager Liang's words are ill-intentioned, but they are not unreasonable. You are not young anymore, you are standing when you see it, these years, there is only one Concubine Jiang in the backyard - that is the person who Xiao chased to your side, you don't want to see her, and the queen mother has nothing to say. It's just that this girl ...... now."

Thinking of each other, Empress Dowager Li is not picky about this unexpected daughter-in-law, but she is very good, but that face is too unlucky.

She patiently persuaded: "She was born like Empress Pei, but her character and temperament are not as sharp as her, and the queen mother looks very satisfied." The prince of Jiyang County has always been famous for being noble and indisputable, Xiang's background is proper, no matter what, since the cause is like this, you are married, you should also have a snack, treat others well, and have a son and a half daughter as soon as possible, so that the queen mother can feel at ease! ”

Xiao Di didn't speak, listened to his mother's words quietly, and only said that he knew at the end.

As soon as Empress Dowager Liang returned to Jingci Palace, she lost her temper fiercely.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Palace of Our Lady, and although the palace people are trembling, they are all used to it. Aunt Zong watched from the sidelines, and ordered someone to prepare tea to reduce the fire, and when she saw that the Queen Mother was born, she personally served the tea.

"Mother, you can't be angry with those sluts."

Empress Dowager Liang exhaled a long breath and snorted heavily: "You see, it is also a gift, the same is the queen mother, just because the mourning family is a concubine, she is a concubine!" The mourning family is on the side, she is positive! What do you see that the one that has taken out? What is given to Heshou Palace is Yazheng's precious "Crane Picture", which is for the mourning family! ”

As she spoke, she glared at the embroidery screen, got up with a sneer, and slowly approached.

The red gold armor was like a blade, slowly cutting across the delicate pattern, as if the next moment it was tearing and embroidering.

"Oh, the first-class embroidery girl of Nanfu, the double-sided embroidery of Liuyun Swastika, she knows the love of the mourning family, in front of the Shou Palace, isn't this just saying that the mourning family is small, and it is difficult to even have a preference to be elegant!"

Aunt Zong's heart sank, and she said again and again: "She is also worthy!" The mother can't be angry with her, and the time is still long! The king of Chu is to fight with our majesty, so he married her by despicable means, just with her face, the slave dares to guarantee that the king of Chu will not give her a good face for a few days! ”

When she said this, she said that it was in the heart of the Empress Dowager Liang, isn't it, marrying Xiang Yu is just a temporary victory for Xiao Di, and in the days to come, it is just that there will be suffering for them!

Empress Dowager Liang thought of something again, and said solemnly: "However, the fate of Xiang Yu can't be guarded against after all." ”

Aunt Zong sighed, "Cough! That's that girl's fate! Zuo's subordinates didn't poison her, and the assassin sent to him recognized the wrong person, so he gave her a few more days to live! ”

Speaking of sending someone to assassinate her, Empress Dowager Liang's eyes burst with hatred: "I don't know which one is mouthy!" actually stabbed this matter in front of the emperor, causing the mourning family to be angry and not to say anything, and let our mother and son have a separation! If you ask the mourners to find out......"

"Don't worry, mother, you are the Virgin, your majesty's only mother, where did the mother and son come from the overnight feud? In a few days, it will be fine again! ”

Empress Dowager Liang snorted coldly and said in her heart, I hope so.

"That mother, this screen...... What should I do? ”

How to dispose of it?

As early as when she was in Heshou Palace, she had already thought of a way to deal with it, "This is thanks to Xiang Yu's good reminder!" ”

Aunt Zong didn't know why, so she stepped forward with her ear, and listened to the master's instructions, carefully took the double-sided embroidered screen and smoked it, and after a few days, the smell penetrated, and then sent it to Chenghui Palace.

"Didn't Princess Chu say it, this trick of flowing clouds and swastikas, is loved by the mourning family and Pan Guifei, and now that the concubine is pregnant, what good thing is not the first thing to be in Chenghui Palace? The mourning family, who is the queen mother, should also be gracious! ”

Aunt Zong's face suddenly appeared, and she received the order with a smile: "Yes, the slave and maid must do it well!" ”

Three days after getting married, during the period of returning to Ning, Pei Yaowei didn't expect Xiao Di to return to the prime minister's mansion with him, but when he got up in the morning and went out, he saw that he was already waiting in front.

"Your Highness is having time today?"

"How?"

"The concubine is thinking, your noble family is busy, so you don't have to go on this trip." As she spoke, she explained, "Father will be considerate too." ”

"You don't want this king to accompany you back?"

Pei Yaowei hurriedly explained, only saying that he was afraid of delaying his business.

Xiao Di didn't speak again, walked to the side of the car, and motioned for her to go first.

Pei Yao sighed in her heart and walked over as if resigned to her fate.

When she climbed the stairs, Xiao Di stretched out her hand to help her, and the two palms were close to each other, Pei Yao's heart jumped suddenly, and her feet got up quickly, as if avoiding the plague, and shrank into the car.

Xiao Di looked at his empty palm, and his brows moved imperceptibly.

The car drove slowly, but the atmosphere in the cabin was quite delicate. After a while, Pei Yao heard the person who closed his eyes and nourished his mind ask, "Do you know why this king wants to stay with you?" ”

Since the night of the cave room, he didn't spoil her, but insisted on getting up and sleeping with her every night, he himself fell asleep without hindrance, but it was difficult for Pei Yaowei to either not sleep at all, or if he fell asleep, he would always wake up in a daze.

Sharing a bed with him was not an easy task for her.

She casually recited nonsense: "The concubine is stupid, thinking of His Royal Highness's benevolence, maybe it is for the sake of the concubine's face?" ”

"What else?"

"And?" She pondered for a moment and said carefully: "Then it can only be done for outsiders to see." ”

I never thought about it, but Xiao Di deserved to be open.

"Hmm." He said, "This king wants the emperor to know that you and I are husband and wife, and Qin Se and Ming." ”

"Yes, when you go out of the room, the scene of the love of the king is also the responsibility of you, the princess. Do you understand? ”

What else is not understood?

"Yes, concubine understood." She said, "Your Highness rest assured. ”

Silence returned to the car, and just when she thought that this was the end of the road, Xiao Di suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her.

"Your Highness?"

Thinking about her dodge when he got into the car, he asked, "You seem to be afraid of this king?" After a pause, he said, "Or, do you hate this king very much?" ”

Pei Yaowei wanted to say, you are right, I just hate you to the core.

"How so!" She said: "Your Highness is wise and martial, and the concubine has not admired it, so why do you hate it?" ”

This was a lie, but he didn't ask any more questions.

When I arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it happened that Xiang Tao had just left the court, and the court clothes had not been changed, so I saw them in the main hall. After everyone said a few words, Pei Yao learned that Mrs. Huan was sick, the dust was cold, and it was not suitable for recuperation, so she had moved to the Beijing suburb annex the day before yesterday to live temporarily.

"Sick? What disease? Have you seen it, doctor? ”

Pei Yao had doubts in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Huan's illness was strange, Xiang Tao only said that it was an old problem, Xu was reluctant to marry her, and she was too worried about it, and now she moved to the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate, also for the sake of tranquility.

She didn't say anything more.

Since returning to Beijing at the beginning of the year, Xiangying has been worshiped as the ruling Jinwu, and it is rare to have leisure all day, and he is no longer at home at this time. Xiao Di was talking to Xiang Tao in front of the hall, and Pei Yaowei went to Nanyuan to see Fangshi, and when he came out, he was thinking about looking for Xiang Yao to explore the current situation of Chao Rong, and he didn't want Xiang Yao to come first.

"What did you say?!"

In the main hall of Xiyuan, Pei Yao was stunned, "You said that Chaorong him...... He's dead? ”

Isn't the eighteen-year oath yet time?

Xiang Yao's face was gloomy, and he told her all the things that Chao Rong was stabbed that day, and he hid in his room when he went.

"I have secretly investigated in the past two days," he said, "and that day someone saw the 'old gardener' in your room go to Nanyuan, and at that time, because of the rain, Mr. Yiyuan, who was assigned by the king of Chu to check Mrs. Huan's pulse, was also in Nanyuan. ”

The nest melted here in order to compete with Mr. One Yuan, so it is very reasonable.

But obviously, Xiang Yao said this, but he meant something.

Her eyebrows were tightly locked, one side was heartbroken, and the other side was suspicious, "You suspect that Chao Rong's death was done by Mr. Yiyuan." ”

Xiang Yao's eyes were slightly ruthless, and he said word by word: "I'm afraid I can't get rid of it." ”

Pei Yao thought about it, but she didn't believe it.

Although she and Mr. Yiyuan are only a few faces, she doesn't think that he will be a person who kills people for no reason. What's more, Chao Rong wanted to see him like that, obviously the two didn't know each other in the past, why did he want to kill someone he didn't know? As a person of the king of Chu, why would he kill in the mansion of the prince of the dynasty on the day of the lord's wedding?

It's too much to say.

When she was pondering, she shook her head unconsciously, and when Xiangyao saw this, she asked, "Do you think I am climbing on him?" ”

Pei Yaowei didn't like this tone very much, but when she raised her eyes to look at it, she was stunned.

Xiang Yao's whole person was full of forbearance, and the corners of his forehead were exposed, but he was still desperately restraining himself.

"Second brother...... I'm reluctant to melt, right? ”

After a pause, he bent down to hold his head and let out a long exhale.

That man had unparalleled medical skills, he called that man's master, and when that man was dying, he entrusted his life's medical skills to himself who did not know him well.

This treatment, he has only gotten this once since he was a child.

However, when Master died, he could not be buried openly, he could not avenge him, and he could not even mention his grief to anyone.

"I'm going to avenge him." He said, "Xiangyu, I must avenge Master!" ”

Pei Yaowei wanted to say, but the enemy may not be one yuan.

She sighed, "I understand the second brother's thoughts. It's just the truth of the facts, and we can't just look at coincidences, but we must have empirical evidence, otherwise, revenge will not be avenged, and new grievances will be formed, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

In the end, she agreed with Xiang Yao that she would try her best to investigate the matter after she returned, and if there was really empirical evidence to prove that it was Mr. Yiyuan's work, he would do what he would do then.

On the way home, she kept her head down, her mind was not belonging, and she was depressed. Xiao Di glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and finally asked, "Worried about Mrs. Huan's illness?" ”

Pei Yao was stunned, and just wanted to shake his head, so he nodded again.

Otherwise, could it be said that he could still say that he was a madman in Zhou who was worried about dying unjustly?

After a pause, he said: "If you are free for these two days, you can ask Mr. Yiyuan to accompany you to the suburbs of Beijing to have a look, so as to feel at ease." ”

Pei Yaoyan was somewhat surprised that he was so kind, but when she heard Mr. Yiyuan's name, her mood became more and more bad.

She thanked Xiao Huang for her kindness, but said that her father said that it was an old problem, and she must have to raise it, so she would not trouble Mr. Yiyuan.

"Your Highness," she asked, after a moment's hesitation, "is it rare that such a capable person as Mr. Yiyuan should be so loyal to you?" ”
