Faced with Xiao Di's questioning, Pei Yao didn't think about it, and directly told him that this was speculation, not speculation.

"Right now, the fact that they found Pan Yi is one of the suspicions, and the other point is ......" After a moment of silence, she said: "Have you ever thought about it, Xi Chuwan and the others, why did they kidnap me to Zhou State at that time?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Di was quite apologetic to her.

"If it weren't for Yuwen Zhijun's thoughts of Pei Yao's illness, and she wanted to see similar people and talk about comfort—" he said, "it would probably be aimed at me." ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, "I think so too." They didn't kill me, and they didn't immediately make a condition for you to save me, but they were willing to take a risk and made up their minds to take me back to Zhou, so there is only one explanation - they want to use me to blackmail your Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

"Your relationship with the emperor, everyone knows, the enemy of this enemy is a friend, if I say, I suspect that Zhou Guo intends to fight with the court again, you will not object, right?"

Xiao Di glanced at her and didn't speak.

Pei Yaowei continued: "Let's go back to Princess Zhen'an, how many losses have you suffered from her in the past when you fought against Zhou Guo?" Even if you don't know her scheming, you should know her temperament, right? She whispered slowly, "The mistake entrusted by this 400,000 army is not like she would make, is it?" ”

Yuwen Zhijun, a woman who forced her uncle to death, stabbed her brother, and successively supported her father and brother to ascend to the throne, such a mistake is indeed not like she would make.

Not to mention, now there is such a colt by her side......

After a moment of silence, Xiao Di looked at her meaningfully, and said slowly: "You really know her very well." ”

Accustomed to his questioning, she is now calm, and only said: "I know this speculation, it sounds good and it is bold, and it is ugly, it is still ridiculous, but ...... Even if you still think I'm guessing, there's always a chance that I'll guess, right? She said, "In state affairs, even if there is only a crisis, you must be fully prepared." ”

She said these things solemnly, but Xiao Di thought out of place, is she a little broken now?

Knowing that he doubted her, but he dared to say these suspicious words again and again, he really looked more and more like a warrior!

"All the preparations—" After a while, he took a sip of the cold tea, looked at her and asked, "What does the princess think?" ”

She didn't have time to think about this way to deal with it, and after listening to his question, she thought about it for a long time before she found two ways out of her messy thoughts.

"I've disappointed Your Highness, I can't think of any good way for a while."

"It doesn't matter." He forgivingly said, "Just talk about it." ”

Pei Yaowei thought of two paths, one was to solve the danger of the Pan clan without blood, so that Yuwen Zhijun's calculation to weaken the military strength of the Great Liang failed; The second is to make the fake come true, so that the Kui family really reverses the Zhou State - even if it is not the Kui family, as long as the Zhou State also has an internal worry, so that when I am weak, the enemy is also weak, and no one should take advantage of each other, don't suffer losses, it is naturally fair.

But these two roads, the former is easy to say and difficult to walk, and the latter is easy to walk, but it will inevitably damage Yin morality, after all, civil strife together, will hurt innocents, and the lives of Zhou are also fate.

She told him what she thought, paused, and said distressedly, "...... As I said, my mind is so messy at the moment that I can't think of any good way to do it. If you want to solve the Pan clan without blood, even if you start planning immediately, I am afraid it will be too late! ”

The voice landed, and after a long time, he didn't say anything, Pei Yaowei was a little anxious, but looking at his thoughtful look, he didn't dare to disturb, for fear of messing up his thoughts.

It wasn't until she couldn't stand up a little that she heard him suddenly speak and say, "Let's plan it." ”

Pei Yao took a moment to refresh.

She unconsciously took a few steps closer to him, asking how to do it. After Xiao Di understood her in a few words, she suddenly had a trace of worry.

"It's the best policy, but ......," she asked, "if you win, it's a big win, but if you play badly...... There can't be no way out. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." He smiled faintly, confident, "There is a confidant in the sea, and I have been watching the way out." ”

Confidant? She had a flash of inspiration, what Xiao Di meant by this, didn't he mean that Zhou Guo still had a spy who was enough to act as a retreat?

"Then, what about the people sent by the emperor to Fanjing?" After thinking about it, she put aside the doubts in her heart for the time being, and turned to care about the matter.

Xiao Di didn't care, "It's okay to still send it over, and ...... in the future." Maybe it will be useful. ”

A few days after that, Xiao Zhu issued a holy decree on the funeral of the Pan family, and the content of this holy decree made Pei Yao rarely restless.

"The emperor used the second prince as the envoy, led the troops with festivals, escorted the Pan family back to their hometown, and paid tribute to the funeral on behalf ......of the Son of Heaven," after hearing the news, Yu Xu was also very surprised, "Niangniang, the emperor, what does this mean?" ”

What do you mean?

Pei Yao silently curled up her fingers. Sent back to the hometown, said to be an escort, but in fact it was surveillance, such an errand could not be entrusted without a capable henchman, Xiao Zhu specially used Ding Wei's Xiangyao at home, that is to say......

She exhaled tremblingly, her eyes narrowed slightly, "The second son of our family, I'm afraid he has already planned his future......"

Yu Xu understood the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but feel excited.

How, how could it be?

I also can't figure it out, and there is also the baby in the Jiyang County Mansion.

"Childe! The Son of the World is coming! ”

Cunyu's voice came into the house, Xiang Yao moved his ears, put aside the military book in hand, paused, got up and went out to greet him.

"Yo, you're having fun today, it's not too early or too late, why did you remember to come and see me?" Xiang Yao said while serving tea.

He looked at ease with his usual smile, as if nothing had happened.

Xiangying felt that he was very strange.

After taking the tea offered by Cunyu, he took a sip without hurrying, with a faint smile, and said to Xiang Yao: "It's not leisure, it's just that the younger brother has doubts in his heart, so he has to ask the second brother." If I come back tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't see you again. ”

Xiang Yao lowered his eyes and smiled, then waved his hand, and sent the left and right back.

"If you have any doubts, just say it." He said.

Xiangying looked at him deeply, and said after a while: "I always thought that the second brother was devoted to the medical Tao, and joining the army was also a last resort according to his father's orders. ”

"You're right." Xiang Yao smiled and said, "If I can choose freely, I really don't want to be in the company of Bing Ge - those things, how can there be herbal pulses interesting!" ”

After a pause, he sighed and continued: "It's just that sometimes, how to go is not a choice based on what your heart wants. Just like you, Changchu, if you were willing to be the prince of this county and take on the responsibility of this family, then you would not have given up your good future and gone to be a mausoleum keeper after the death of Empress Renyi. Isn't it? ”

Xiangying was silent for a long time, smiled faintly, and asked: "What is it that made the second brother give up his favorite and turn around and plunge into this pickled political situation?" ”

Xiang Yao smiled and did not answer.

"Second brother, does it have to be like this?" After a long time, Xiangying muttered, "You can't change your mind? The road cannot be changed? ”

Xiang Yao looked at him for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

"Changchu, what are you trying to persuade me here?" He asked, "Do you want to persuade me to withdraw from the court, or ...... You don't want to see me allegiance to that man? ”

Xiangying was silent for a while, didn't answer his question, and said, "Second brother, you have now made a marriage contract with Princess Yecheng, and even your father no longer insists that you make meritorious contributions." If you can live in the world, stay away from the chaos of the court, and keep your life honorable, why do you have to mix in the court? ”

He still doesn't understand, Xiang Yao is not here, what is the reason for him to be a leader?

Xiang Yao laughed at him: "This is not like what General Wei should say." ”

Xiang Ying frowned and didn't speak.

After a while, Xiang Yao seemed to be more serious, and slowly said to him: "If you really have doubts, just be me...... It's thinking that brothers are in trouble, and one of them must survive. ”

Xiang Ying's eyebrows moved, and in an instant, he understood something.

Xiang Yao sighed, and continued: "I know that you are the same as the eldest sister, because of your relationship with Empress Renyi, you have a problem with the emperor in your heart. In the past few years, you have always surrendered to the king of Chu, and everyone understands that sooner or later there will be a dispute between the emperor and the king. The eldest sister married the emperor, and the fourth sister married the king of Chu, and now, I want to make up for a lack of a child in your pair of corners, so as to ensure the future, no matter what the result is, my Xiang's family will not be defeated. ”

He asked, "Changchu, are you satisfied with this answer?" ”

has nothing to do with being satisfied or dissatisfied, Xiang Ying thought, at least his answer, so that he could not be persuaded.

At the end of July, Xiang Yao was ordered by the Son of Heaven to lead the army and escort the Pan family on the road back to their hometown to Wangchen.

As soon as he left, every few days, the news of the illness of the queen mother and queen mother suddenly came out of the palace.

It happened that in the past few days, Xiao Di left Beijing on business and was not in the house, Pei Yao heard the news, and immediately took Mr. Tong Yuan into the palace.

When she arrived at Heshou Palace, Empress Dowager Li was lying on the sickbed, her face pale and she had no energy. Pei Yaowei stood aside, very worried, until Mr. Yiyuan took the pulse and told her that the Queen Mother was just infected with an ordinary illness and there was nothing wrong with it, she was relieved.

It's just a common illness, as long as it's not man-made, then everything is easy to say.

"Sir, look, does the queen mother's illness matter?" She asked.

Mr. Yiyuan picked up the pen and finished writing the prescription, and then said to her: "The princess doesn't have to worry, the disease is always getting better at this time, but as long as you take the medicine on time, you will have a good life, and it will be okay for half a month." ”
