It's night, Jingci Palace.

"Our Lady doesn't have a good appetite." Pei Yaowei put down her chopsticks, looked at the red dates and japonica rice porridge that was almost untouched in front of Empress Dowager Liang, and sighed worriedly, "You don't know the taste of food like this, what if you hurt the phoenix body?" ”

'Smack——! ’

The gold-inlaid jade chopsticks were slapped on the dining table, and the Empress Dowager Liang glared at her angrily, "You don't want to be a good person for the mourning family here!" She sneered, "Hmph, the mourning family doesn't know the taste, isn't the queen the culprit?" I can't say, one day the mourning family dies, it is exactly what you want! ”

Looking at her angry appearance, Pei Yao frowned.

Sometimes she finds it weird.

Qingle Liang is a second-class scholar family in the country, when it comes to background, the Empress Dowager Liang is really much higher than the Empress Dowager Li, and they all say that everyone has great rules, but why is it that between these two people, the one who is angry and the one who often loses his honor, but always the Empress Dowager Liang?

She shook her head and smiled faintly, looked at the person standing beside the Empress Dowager Liang, and said politely, "Aunt Zong will lead the girls down." Turning her gaze back to the Empress Dowager Liang, she smiled gently, "What the Palace and the Holy Mother are going to say next, the Holy Mother may not want outsiders to listen." ”

Aunt Zong was full of worries, but she easily didn't dare to speak, and stood there for a long time before she retreated with the acquiescence of Empress Dowager Liang with all the palace people around.

The hall was quiet, Pei Yao Shi Shi straightened his cuffs, and was not in a hurry to speak.

"Pei Yaowei, you are really good!" Empress Dowager Liang gritted her teeth and looked at her, and couldn't stop sneering: "You are really worthy of your birth and surname!" ”

"What does the Virgin mean?" Pei Yao raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "Do you mean that I helped your son send your good niece to the cold palace, or do you mean ......?"

She smiled and deliberately lowered her voice: "I worked hard to dig out the things you have done from the loess that has accumulated over the years?" ”

"How dare you say ——!"

Pei Yaowei smiled and said, "You dare to do it, why don't I dare to say it?" ”

"Speaking of which, Our Lady is really a bit of a favorite." She got up and slowly walked behind Empress Dowager Liang, "The same sister-in-law and the same niece, why do you have such a preference for Liang Yanyu's mother and daughter, and what is her name for your eldest niece?" …… Smoke? Really? ”

As she spoke, she leaned down, leaned close to the ear of Empress Dowager Liang, and whispered: "You are a little too unfair to her and her mother!" …… How can you say kill, just kill? ”

Before she could finish speaking, she clearly felt the body under her hand tremble violently.

Empress Dowager Liang got up and pushed her suddenly, but she took a few steps back. She pointed at Pei Yaowei, "You...... How exactly do you know? When did you know! ”

After years of secrets, after the initial denial and anger, now she is facing Pei Yaoyan, and the fear in her heart is better than any before.

"How do you know?" Pei Yaowei smiled lightly, "I am the niece of Empress Dexiao, and the woman who was once assigned by the first emperor to marry Empress Dowager Li's son. How does Our Lady think, I would be naïve to think that you would like me as a daughter-in-law? ”

She knew that in the first dynasty, what Empress Dowager Liang dreamed of was always the queen.

But even if the first emperor later abolished Xiao Di's position as the crown prince, he never moved his mind to abolish the queen. So much so that after Xiao Zhu ascended the throne, even though the Liang family was honored as the empress dowager as the emperor's biological mother, she was always one level shorter than the empress dowager Li, who was the wife of the first emperor, let alone the Empress Dexiao of Yuanyan.

With the temperament of the Empress Dowager Liang, it is really conceivable what kind of mood she has for the two women who have ascended to the phoenix throne.

Pei Yao snorted lightly and approached her step by step: "Do you think that I dare to marry your son before I investigate your old background?" ”

"You ......" Empress Dowager Liang's eyes seemed to widen a little more, she covered her hair in a slightly loose bun, and said in disbelief: "You have long been ...... You always knew? No way...... That's impossible! No way! If you had known about it, how could you have ......?"

"Why did you endure it until today before you threatened you?" After Pei Yaowei asked for her, she thought about it and said with a smile: "Good steel, do you want to use it on the blade!" ”

Empress Dowager Liang only felt a rumble in her head, looked at her in a daze for a long time, and muttered, "Poisonous woman...... You're such a poisonous woman! ”

"Poison?" Pei Yaoyu shook her head, "If you and Liang Yanyu are honest, I won't easily use this secret to scare you." What I'm doing now is just self-preservation, and if I really want to talk about poison, I can't compare to you! ”

She looked at Empress Dowager Liang indifferently, and said slowly: "If I had the ruthlessness to get rid of my sister-in-law, my Pei family would not have fallen to the point where it is today......"

Empress Dowager Liang stumbled and sat down on the chair, raised her eyes and said coldly, "...... What do you know? It's not your turn to judge what the mourners do! ”

Pei Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "I know that you and your brother, Qingle Hou Liang Shu, have been close since childhood; I know that Qingle Hou and his original wife Tan, that is, Liang Yanfei's biological mother, are very affectionate. She flicked her sleeves and sat down opposite Empress Dowager Liang, "I also know that since Mrs. Tan entered the door, you, the sister-in-law, have always been at odds with her, and I hate to trouble her everywhere." ”

Every time she said a word, the ruthlessness in Empress Dowager Liang's eyes deepened.

"On the contrary, you are quite close to Liang Yanyu's mother, Li's family—I guess this is probably because Qingle Hou has never liked her very much?" She sighed, and continued: "Back then, you were dissatisfied with the first emperor's decision to give Liang Yanfei to Xiao Zhu as his wife, so you pretended to invite Liang Yanfei to live in the palace, and gave her a dose of poison, and when Qingle Hou went out and did not return, he successively solved their mother and daughter. The Li family is in cahoots with you, with people close to you, to hide the Liang Mansion to death, only to say that the eldest girl died violently, Mrs. Tan died of grief, and when Qingle Hou led Liang Song back in a hurry, their mother and daughter had already sealed the coffin, naturally what you say, it is what it is. ”

Speaking of this, she pretended to be curious and said: "Liang Song died on the battlefield a few days ago, and Qingle Hou lost the last bloodline with Mrs. Tan...... What will he do? ”

"You dare!"

Pei Yao pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, it doesn't matter if I dare or not, it depends on whether you dare or not." ”

"How do you know?" Empress Dowager Liang stared at her stubbornly, stubbornly looking for an answer: "Who told you about this?" ”

"Does Our Lady want to settle accounts after the autumn?" Pei Yaowei sighed lightly, "You don't have to fight this idea. I don't know much about this, and if I don't tell you, it won't be difficult for you to find an opportunity to get rid of them all. But I have to warn you—"

"This afternoon, Mrs. Gongsun went to the Liang Mansion. Mrs. Li knew the current affairs, and when she saw that Liang Yanyu had been abolished, she had already confessed all the crimes she should confess. Now her confession is in my hands. Guess what, is there your name here? ”

"Pei, Yao, ——!"

Pei Yaowei smiled calmly and got up slowly, "It's still the same sentence, you are honest, don't have evil thoughts about any innocent people, I am willing to let you enjoy the glory in peace." But if you have to be my enemy—"

"Liang Yanyu who fell this time, next time, it may not be anyone."

Leaving this last sentence, she turned around leisurely, and slowly left Jingci Palace under the fiery gaze of Empress Dowager Liang.

Outside the Jingci Gate, Mrs. Gongsun personally led the phoenix to wait there.

"It's cold in the evening, what is Madame waiting here for?" Pei Yao said while looking at the moon and embroidering the stars: "The girls don't persuade them!" ”

Mrs. Gongsun defended the girl, and then respectfully asked her to come up.

Pei Yao glanced at Feng Yuan and waved her hand, "That's it, I just can't digest the food, Mrs. will walk back with me!" ”

On the way back to Changqiu Palace, Fang Yue and the others looked at each other and followed from a distance, and Mrs. Gongsun followed her, and the two talked softly.

"Niangniang took a dangerous move this time, took her own safety, and gave the enemy a fatal blow." There was no lack of distress in Mrs. Gongsun's tone, "It's just...... Niangniang should also pay attention to her body! Don't do this again! ”

"Scaring you, huh?" Pei Yao smiled, "When you were by your aunt's side in the past, you shouldn't have experienced such a sinister thing, right?" ”

Madame Gongsun sighed heavily.

When Empress Dexiao was the queen, the harem concubines were also dishonest. Just like today's Virgin Liang, what a villain she was back then, she remembers it clearly. It's just that Queen Pei in the past is indeed different from Queen Pei today.

"There is Pei behind Empress Dexiao-" Mrs. Gongsun said sadly: "Ding Changmao, Pei Shi, who is a very popular minister." ”

Behind Ke Yao, except for Qingtan, there was no one else.

"In fact, the slave and maid are here, and the princess has also been advised." She persuaded, "Niangniang, if it's really hard, the Zhao family ......."

"Nope."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Yao.

She turned her head to look at Mrs. Gongsun and sighed in a low voice, "Madam, I know what my cousin means, the Shen family's terrain is limited, and it is difficult for her to take care of me from time to time, so she hopes that the Zhao family can become my backing." ”

"Isn't that bad?" Mrs. Gongsun said: "The current head of the Zhao family, the Duke of Yasukuni Zhao, he is your cousin, you have always been close to him, and the Pei and Zhao clans have also been friends for several lifetimes!" The children of the Zhao family, although they are no longer walking in the officialdom, but when it comes to the first door of the Liang, after the Pei family, it is none other than the Beilin Zhao family. If you have Zhao's help, you ......"

"Madam, after the Pei family, the reason why the Zhao family was able to protect a noble family was because my uncle ordered the entire Zhao family to retreat outside the temple. If the Zhao family is involved in the political situation today, then I don't know how long this dignitary can be preserved! ”

Her words completely sobered up Mrs. Gongsun.

Pei Yao paused, and then said: "Besides, I am the queen myself, and I have never planned to do anything in the court. I don't need anyone's help to get to the next level, I just want to preserve - to keep Qingtan. ”

Mrs. Gongsun was stunned, "Qingtan? ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, "This is what I want to ask my wife and cousin." ”

"Mother's ......"

"I know that the person who is now in charge of Princess Rongxuan's mansion in Beijing is my cousin's right-hand man. So I thought, if one day, I have any problems and can't take care of Qingtan in the future......" She lost her mind for a moment, and continued: "Then I will ask my cousin to help, and as long as Qingtan is willing, I will take her to the south to raise her." ”

"Niangniang...... "If you say that you are suitable, Mrs. Gongsun is just an accident, but she is already surprised at this time, "Good and dignified, why did you talk about this lonely talk?!" ”

"I am in this phoenix position, and I can't do it, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to live long, so I have to take precautions." She exhaled calmly, shook Mrs. Gongsun's hand, and said, "I just ask Madame to answer me, and when I go back, help me entrust this matter to my cousin, and send me a letter as soon as possible, so that I can feel at ease." ”

Mrs. Gongsun looked at her for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "If you are so unlucky, how can you ask the slave to talk to the princess?" You're not afraid of her hitting you! ”

Pei Yao smiled, but those eyes were still stubbornly waiting for her reply.

No, in the end, Mrs. Gongsun had to lower her eyes and bow her head, and promised for Princess Rong Xuan: "Don't worry, if there is any case, no matter what, the princess ...... It will definitely be preserved. ”

The moment she heard this, Pei Yao's face relaxed, and she stopped, and thanked her with a blessing: "Thank you, madam." ”
