Chapter 41: Gold in All Mouths (16)
Behind the curtain, there was a slight chuckle from Pei Yao.
"Master Hou, this is forcing the palace."
Liang Shu, who was lying on the ground, was stunned, panicked, and didn't even dare to breathe.
Pei Yao sighed faintly and said: "Your words came out of the Changqiu Palace, if this palace does not save Ling Ai, it is cold-blooded and ruthless, and it is in vain to care for the princes and important ministers, and if you go deeper, it is even more disrespectful and unfilial to the Queen Mother." In this way, the name of the jealous demon queen of this palace may not be able to increase the weight of a hundred pounds. ”
"But then again, this palace really saved Ling Ai, your life, I dare to do it?" She smiled half-worriedly, "...... If you want your father and daughter to exchange their lives for one life, isn't that to tell the people of the world that I, the mother of a country, am such a narrow-minded person who will repay me? You can put this cruel talk well, but it's really not a loss! ”
After she finished speaking, Liang Shusheng knocked his head three times in a row: "Niangniang, the old minister never dares to have this intention!" ”
"This palace is willing to believe in the love of the Hou Ye's daughter." Pei Yaowei raised her eyebrows slightly, and said slowly: "This palace believes that Qingle Hou has been in the court for decades, and this matter of sophistication is what this palace wants to get and can see, and you will not be left behind." ”
"The queen ......" this time, Liang Shu's voice was much quieter.
Seeing that he had no words, Pei Yao's heart was a little more relaxed.
In fact, she also knows that it is not the wisest thing to puncture Liang Shu's intentions. However, the queen mother has always been tired of being forced to act like a fool, and she has explained everything to the point here, and in the future, even if it is thankless, she doesn't care.
After a while, she called from the side: "Spinning the moon, help the marquis up." ”
Fang Yue responded and went over to help Liang Shu in person, but Liang Shu still insisted on kneeling there, motionless.
"Master Hou, let's get even." Fang Yuewen smiled: "If you don't even want to listen to the queen's words, how can you expect the queen to be willing to contribute to your affairs?" ”
Liang Shu shuddered, glanced at Fang Yue slightly, and then slowly got up.
"The queen, the old minister...... Lao Chen really has no other way! He bowed his head and said bitterly: "Old minister, it's not that you have the intention to trap your mother in injustice, but at the moment, except for this old life, there is really nothing to repay your mother!" I'm Liang...... The sun is thin, old minister, there is really nothing left! ”
The sun is waning, and from such a distance, Pei Yaowei seems to be able to feel what kind of mood Liang Shu was in when he gritted his teeth and said these four words.
"Master Hou, go back." She said lightly.
Fangyue saw it really, and as soon as the queen's words came out, a layer of sluggish despair instantly surged on Liang Shu's face.
But immediately, the queen mother said: "This palace is willing to persuade Your Majesty for the Hou Ye and leave a life for love." It's just that...... The outcome is not guaranteed. It is your right to do your part for the heart of a father. ”
"Thank you, old minister, Queen Mother!"
At dusk, Pei Yao went to Lingyun Palace.
She met the baby on duty outside the hall as usual, but this time, before she had time to say a few words, Sun Zhiyi came over with a smiling face and invited her into the hall.
In just one journey, she asked with a two-point smile: "Father-in-law, does this know that this palace is coming?" ”
Sun Zhifang lowered his voice and only told her: "Your Majesty knows that the Marquis of Qingle has gone to the Changqiu Palace." ”
Pei Yao smiled secretly, and said in his heart, I just don't know, Xiao Zhu can't guess whether he is here or not, what he is here for.
Sun Zhifang invited her into the hall, and he led the left and right to quietly retreat. In the study, Xiao Zhu sat in front of the desk, looking at a painting on the desk with a frown.
Approaching, Pei Yao couldn't help but be stunned.
On the case, there is a portrait.
The young son, with a tall posture and a ...... face He was very handsome.
If she didn't know that Xiao Zhu was not a good man, she would have suspected that this was the 'Long Yang Jun' he had taken a fancy to.
"Who is this man?" She stood beside him, her slender white fingers touched the scroll, and said strangely: "Daliang still has such a handsome son?" Why didn't I know it in the past? ”
Xiao Chai glanced at her unhappily, got up, and sighed in annoyance.
"Of course you don't." He said: "It's just that it's not that I've never had a relationship. ”
Well?
Pei Yaowei became more and more curious, "Who is he?" ”
"Zhen'an donkey, Zhao Feiyi."
Zhao Feiyi?!
Pei Yao's mind buzzed, she fixed her eyes on the scroll, her eyes went from surprise, little by little to silence, and there were two more points of unwarranted disappointment.
Zhao Feiyi ...... That's what it looks like......"
It's really handsome, but also strange.
"Originally, I thought this was an Israeli servant, but I didn't expect it to be ......" Xiao Zhuzhi paced a few steps, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and sighed three times in succession.
"Yes," Pei Yao sat down in his chair and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that there are so many talented and beautiful people in this world!" ”
She sighed casually, but Xiao Zhuan was obviously interested, and then threw a questioning look at her.
Pei Yaowei was slightly stunned, came back to her senses, and didn't even bother to explain.
However, she didn't like to speak, but Xiao Zhu still had to ask: "Who are you referring to?" ”
If it was as usual, Pei Yaowei would say, Xiao Di-don't you just want to hear me say that?
What followed was another big quarrel, nothing new.
But today, she came with a purpose, and she hasn't said anything yet, so naturally she can't end the show. So after a moment of silence, she sighed helplessly: "Do you really want to be like this? One of my unintentional words, do you also want to associate it with him? Are you forcing me to miss him? ”
Xiao Zhu's face sank.
But when he calmed down and thought about it, he didn't have the confidence to be angry.
"Yaowei," he walked to the back of her chair, carefully stroked her shoulders, and finally said, "This time it's not good for me, and ...... I will never ask you that again. ”
She sneered in her heart, and her face did not move.
Not long after, in order to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Chai took the initiative to talk about Liang Shulai and asked her if she met Qingle Hou today, and everything was going well.
"Smooth?" Pei Yao smiled and said, "You know best why your uncle came. If the long-cherished wish is not fulfilled, how can it go smoothly? ”
Xiao Zhu's thick eyebrows twisted, and his face showed dissatisfaction with Liang Shu: "Qingle Hou is too much!" What the Liang family did was not a pity to die, I never used this to attack the Liang family, but also remembered the love of the Virgin Mary and Liang Song's sacrifice for the country! Not only is he not grateful, but he also does this kind of thing that makes me embarrassed with you, he really doesn't know the general situation, let alone current affairs! ”
Pei Yao thought about it, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Qingle Hou's move is to make it difficult for the king, and there is negligence in general current affairs, but in terms of human feelings...... Your Majesty, Qingle Hou lost his wife and daughter in his early years, and he just lost his son at this time, so if you want him to watch his daughter die without saying a word, it is too much to take him as a saint! ”
Xiao Zhu didn't expect her to say this, he was a little surprised for a while, looked at her and was stunned, and then asked, "Yao, what do you mean by this?" ”
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and sighed: "Your Majesty, spare Liang Yanyu's life." ”
"What are you talking about?!" Xiao Chai looked at her in disbelief, holding her shoulders and shaking her fiercely, "You're going to spare her?" Under the pressure of the queen mother and the Liang family, I have to give her death, who is she for? It's rare that this time I have made up my mind, why did you open this mouth and make me retreat?! ”
"Just because I said spare her life doesn't mean I can still tolerate her in the palace. You abolish her, demote her out of the palace, or leave the palace, this is all the way, and I have no complaints. She stood up and faced him, "It's better than going out of the palace gate, and adding the reputation of an unfilial virgin to my jealous name?" ”
Xiao Chai frowned and looked at her, his eyes full of inquiry and questioning.
"Why, don't you believe I'm going to spare her?" She said, "Don't worry, I will definitely admit what I say." Today's appearance of Qingle Hou, I was also moved when I saw it, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, if there can be one less thing, there will be one less thing, and I don't want to lose my happiness and longevity for a Liang Yanyu. As she spoke, she pulled down his sleeve, "How about Your Majesty, are you willing to sell me this face?" ”
The two looked at each other quietly for a long time, and Xiao Zhu reached out and gently shook her hand that was still hanging on his sleeve.
"You don't joke." He was patient and said to her seriously: "Yao, I have made a decree to give death in front of the Sixth Palace, you want me to take back my life today, and in the future, how can I do it to the Sixth Palace?" ”
Coming out of the Lingyun Palace, Pei Yaowei looked up at the night above the thousands of lanterns in the dusty capital.
The dark with a thin layer of orange is gentle and distant.
After walking out for a long time, Fang Yue asked her: "Master, has Your Majesty agreed?" ”
Pei Yao smiled, "Do you see a new will come out with me?" ”
Fang Yue's face fell.
The person on the phoenix chariot glanced down at her, and said with a light smile: "Don't you suspect that Xiao Zhu has the intention of using me to protect Liang Yanyu?" She said, "Now don't doubt it?" ”
There is no doubt, Fang Yue thought, but if he wants to save that person's life, he has a long way to go.
Thinking like this, she also asked: "But master, in this situation, even if you have the heart to save you, but Liang Yanyu's life is to be kept, I'm afraid it's difficult, right?" ”
Pei Yaowei shook her head and smiled mysteriously.
If you want to save someone's life from Xiao Zheng's hands, it's really not difficult. She didn't have much hope for Lingyun Hall tonight, she just went through the motions and gave Xiao Zhu a try.
"Qingle Hou is still waiting for a reply." After a while, she said: "Fangyue, early tomorrow morning, send someone to Qingle Hou's Mansion to pass a few words to the Hou Ye for the palace, and tell him not to be sad and break his body." ”
Fang Yue's mind moved, and she gently answered yes.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Zhu heard that the queen sent someone to the Qingle Hou Mansion, and Liang Shu knew that the queen had returned from Lingyun Hall in vain, so she immediately let out a sad sound, and fainted directly from crying.
He sighed, remembering his uncle's situation, but he couldn't bear it, and said silently in his heart: Uncle, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame Yanyu for knowing too much, she doesn't die, how can I feel at ease......
I thought that the dust would settle on this matter, and as soon as the winter came, Xiao Zhu instructed Sun Zhifang, checked the day, prepared the wine, and planned to send Liang Yanyu on the road, but who expected that just two days before Liang Yanyu's death, Gyeonggi came to report that at the foot of Rui Mountain, there was Xiangrui in the world.
"I heard that there was a heavy snow in the Fern Mountain, and the snow melted, and the guards guarding the Yuze Palace found the pair of bronze phoenixes at the foot of the mountain. His Majesty summoned Si Tiantai to observe the examiner, and those doctors all said that this was a good omen, but the phoenix bird was deficient, and he was afraid that the fall of the harem woman would be damaged in the country. ”
Xiuxing brought the news back one by one, and when he said this, he smiled unconsciously, "Master, Your Majesty listened to Si Tiantai's words and locked himself in the Lingyun Palace, and he didn't see anyone for most of the day. It seems that if you give Qingle Hou this method, he will soon get what he wants. ”
Pei Yaowei smiled faintly, and there was no wind and rain and no sunshine in her heart.
Sure enough, not long after, when Sun Zhifang's wine was about to be sent to the cold palace, Xiao Zhu did a child's play - he withdrew the holy decree of Liang Yanyu to death, re-issued the decree, and ordered him to become a monk, give him the name Yuhua Zhenren, and live in Chengyang Palace.
"It seems that Yuhua Zhenren really shouldn't die."
On the day Liang Yanyu left the palace, when Pei Yaoyu was looking at the city wall, he met Pan Ruohui.
"After all, her life will not be in the imperial palace in the future." Pei Yaowei smiled lightly and glanced sideways at Pan Ruohui, "You don't have to worry about it. ”
Pan Ruohui shook his head and smiled, "The concubine never worries about Yuhua Zhenren. She said: "The concubine just doesn't understand, Niangniang has always been on bad terms with Yuhua Zhenren, but she is still willing to let the tiger return to the mountain...... Aren't you afraid of endless troubles? ”
Hearing this, Pei Yao raised her eyebrows.
Liang Yanyu's carriage had gone far away, so far that she couldn't see it.
She turned around and looked at Pan Ruohui, her eyes full of playfulness.
Pan Ruohui didn't like her eyes, as if she regarded her as an opponent, but she only thought she was a joker.
With a decent smile, she asked, "I wonder what advice Niangniang has?" ”
"You love Xiao Chai very much, don't you?" Pei Yaowei suddenly asked.
Pan Ruohui was stunned.
In this palace and in this world, except for the position of the woman in front of her, she has never heard others dare to call him by his name like this.
After a while, she was still smiling, her eyes lowered, "Yes." ”
"If you fall in love with a suspicious emperor, one day, you yourself will become a suspicious person." Pei Yaowei said, walked past her, and sighed with a smile: "Concubine Pan, there is a long road ahead, cherish yourself." ”
Pan Ruohui stood in place and slowly lowered his gaze.
