Pei Yaowei looked at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled.

She brushed away Xiao Zhu's hand on her cheek, and she was not willing to answer this question at all: "Xiao Zhu, before you ask me, you might as well think about it——"

"What kind of answer do I give you, does it make a difference to you?"

"If I confess to breaking my word, you will have a reason to vent your anger, and you can blame me for all the problems between you and me, and what if I say that I have never broken my word against you?" She smiled with shallow bitterness, but more, but relieved, "You will only think that I am dead and unrepentant." ”

The words were faint, but every word poked at his heart. Xiao Zhu's least favorite thing has always been her flat and straightforward narrative.

The power of calm is the most difficult to resist, as if no matter how hard he tries or where he starts, she doesn't care.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes for a moment, as if he was trying to endure something, and after a moment of calmness, he looked at her again and asked, "When you say this, why don't you decide that I am at fault?" ”

No, she wanted to say, of course not.

She wants to say that I have long understood over the years that between you and me, the first person to make a mistake is me.

It's me, I shouldn't have been swayed by hatred back then, and I cooperated with you to deal with Xiao Di; It's me, I shouldn't be involved in court battles, I shouldn't be the princess of Qin, I shouldn't be your queen.

But what about after that?

Listen to Pan Quan's slander, and it is you who killed Xiao; It is you who leave me to fend for myself in the wrongs of my concubines; You are the one who harmed your own children with your own hands, but you want me to bear the name of jealousy.

But you have never said that you have no choice but to do so.

She herself forgot whether she had said these words to Xiao Zhu, but she knew that no matter how many times she said them, it was useless, it was useless.

So after all, she just smiled and asked: "Between you and me, it starts with interests, before I got married, I said that I would do my duty as a wife, I can give you anything except love, and you didn't have any objection to this at the beginning, didn't you?" ”

Xiao Zhu's eyes sank, and he added a lot of stubbornness: "Yes, I said at the time, you can not love me." "But I regret it." ”

"yes, you regret it." Pei Yao smiled and asked, "Then can you still say that you have never broken your word to me?" ”

Xiao was stunned.

"But I love my wife, and I want her to love me the same, am I wrong?"

Pei Yao lowered her eyebrows and didn't want to say more.

For a moment, Xiao Chai seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Zhifang's voice coming over to remind the early dynasty.

As soon as he left, the dormitory was truly quiet.

Pei Yao was served by Fangyue, and slept well in the faintly bright skylight, and did not wake up until the afternoon.

It's just that although this sleep is long, it is not easy.

As soon as he finished freshening up, Xiuxing said back and forth: "Master, Concubine Xian is here." ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, thinking, Min Dai should really come, last night's turmoil, she couldn't tell how much uneasy she felt in her heart, it was already embarrassing for her to delay coming until this time.

"Please go to the warm pavilion for a while, and I'll go over."

Xiuxing answered, and then retreated.

"Master, there is news from Jingci Palace at the first afternoon, and Empress Dowager Liang personally went to the cold palace and stayed for a while before going back." Fang Yue said, her voice softer, "When I said that when I went back, my eyes were red, and I looked like I had cried." ”

Crying?

Pei Yao's heart was quite complicated. Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Liang has always been for herself, and she has ...... to Liang Yanyu It's a lot of love.

"Go to the Jingci Palace to spread a message, saying that the palace will come over in the evening to say goodbye, just to accompany the Holy Mother to have dinner."

When Fang Yue heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you have to let the Tai Hospital prepare a decoction that is good for digestion first!" ”

Pei Yao glanced at her with a smile, and before long, she set off to the warm pavilion.

As she thought, Min Dai was indeed very anxious. As soon as Pei Yaowei came in, she hurriedly got up, grabbed her hands closely, and looked back and forth.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Pei Yaowei shook her hand, sat down with her, stepped back from the left and right screens, and comforted her: "I take the amount of arsenic myself, and Imperial Doctor He also said that it is not a big deal, take a few pairs of medicines carefully, and it will be completely fine in two days!" ”

When Min Dai heard this, her face tightened, she unconsciously glanced inside and out, and lowered her voice and said, "Is that arsenic really your own ......?" But Liang Yanyu's silver hairpin, what is going on? ”

Pei Yao sighed and said something long.

"As soon as the incident of Zhaoye Temple came out, I knew that the person who harmed me must have come to get rid of me completely if he grasped the key point of Xiao Zhu this time."

"But she probably didn't expect that her cousin would send Mrs. Gongsun over."

Min Dai smiled lightly, and said: "No, the eldest princess Rongxuan has been favored since the first emperor's dynasty, Your Majesty has always been in awe of the eldest princess in consideration of the status of the Shen family in the south, and Mrs. Gongsun may ruin their wishful thinking into something!" ”

Pei Yao sighed, and then said: "It is precisely for this reason that I expect her to be anxious, right...... Long before my birthday, I deliberately ordered the people in the palace to neglect to test the poison—" She spread her hand and glanced at Min Dai, "You know, but all people with bad intentions always drill into the cracks, and it couldn't be easier to get them to take the bait." ”

Min Dai thought about her words, and gradually came up with some clues, "In other words, someone did take advantage of the Qianqiu Festival to make a move?" ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, looked at her and said, "It's a move, but it's not on their own offerings, but on that plate of longevity peaches." ”

Min Dai was shocked.

As soon as the gifts from the various palaces arrived, they carried the people on their backs and checked them one by one, and finally only found arsenic in the longevity peaches sent by the Xiancui Palace. The mastermind behind this scene is very smart, knows how to kill people with a knife, and knows how to kill two birds with one stone. She knows that I will not be suspicious of what you have sent, and she also knows that if I die because of what you have sent, she can easily get rid of you in addition to me. ”

“…… Did Liang Yanyu do it? ”

Pei Yaowei didn't answer her question immediately, she pondered, and she asked Min Dai: "Do you remember the little palace maid who stood up and denounced Liang Yanyu?" The one called Huan'er? ”

Min Dai nodded, and then listened to Pei Yaoyu continue: "She is actually an eyeliner that I arranged next to Liang Yanyu two years ago, at first she sprinkled and swept in the outer hall, which was not very eye-catching, and she only entered the inner hall to serve at the beginning of the year. Coincidentally, this time, Liang Yanyu sent her to Changqiu Palace to give gifts, and she privately warned Xiuxing to be careful of Shou Tao. ”

"As soon as she said this, I knew that the arsenic in the longevity peach must have been done by Liang Yanyu." As she spoke, she flicked the hem of her sleeves, "As for me, I was afraid of disappointing the concubine's hospitality, so I asked Fangyue to change it to a clean longevity peach, and in addition, I moved my hands and feet and applied arsenic on the silver hairpin sent by Chenghui Palace." ”

"You're really ......," Min Dai frowned and reproached, "Why hurt your body? is to let Liang Yanyu suffer by himself, you just have to send the poisoned silver hairpin to His Majesty to see it? ”

Pei Yao shook her head with a smile, "No." Don't you know our emperor? If I really do this, as long as Liang Yanyu takes out her coquettish and stupid ability to cry, her emperor's cousin will follow and He Yi and the mud, and this matter will be over. She told Mindai, "I'm not happy to let it go." This time, I didn't plan to let Liang Yanyu go. ”

Therefore, she would rather give up her own health, take arsenic, and use bitter meat to make Xiao Zhu angry, so that Xiao Zhu will no longer condone Liang Yanyu.

Therefore, she tried her best to make Min Dai the target of public criticism at the beginning, forcing Xiao Zhu and Liang Yanyu to say nothing each, and finally let their own words send Liang Yanyu to a dead end.

Thinking of this, she looked apologetic and looked at Min Dai: "It's just that I wronged you at the beginning, Min Dai, I'm really sorry." ”

Min Dai gave her a blank look and whispered 'fool'.

After a moment, Pei Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "After Xiao fell into Liang Yanyu at night, I said that I would dispose of Huan'er by myself, so I left her behind. Fang Yue had already asked her, and she said that beforehand, it was the big girl Fang Liu beside Liang Yanyu who told her this 'clever plan' and persuaded her to do something about the offerings of the Xiancui Palace. And it was also Fang Liu's self-recommendation, saying that there was a good palace maid in the small kitchen of the Xiancui Palace, and she could do it unknowingly. ”

Hearing this, Min Dai just thought that this Fangliu was the 'military advisor' behind Liang Yanyu, but who knew that Pei Yaoyu then said lightly: "Fangyue listened to Huan'er's words and wanted to send someone to bring Fangliu over, but Fangliu touched the pillar and died after Liang Yanyu was beaten into the cold palace. ”

Min Dai felt chills on her body when she heard this, frowned, and whispered: "Her master is still alive, and she is in such a hurry to die?" She snorted, and the fog in her heart dissipated, "Most likely, the real hand behind her back is in a hurry to extinguish her mouth, right?" ”

That's what it means.

From the time Liang Yanyu framed her and Xiao Di's private meeting in Zhaoye Temple, Pei Yaoyu had doubts in her heart. In the past few years, she feels that she still knows Liang Yanyu and his people quite well. She was arrogant, temperamental, and not very good-hearted, but not that smart.

In particular, not so careful.

Pei Yaoyu sighed lightly, "Liang Yanyu is also pitiful, in the final analysis, but he has also made someone else's murder knife." As for the fate that has ended up now, I'm afraid that I'm the only one who will hurt her. ”

Having said this, Min Dai couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Who is the person behind the willow?" Now that she is dead, isn't there no clue and no need to investigate? ”

That's not necessarily, Pei Yao thought to herself.

After a while, Min Dai remembered something, and couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that Your Majesty would directly give death this time, it can be seen that she is really angry......" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Pei Yaowei and said softly: "I really feel sorry for you." ”

Yes, Pei Yaowei didn't think so.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Min Dai sighed in her heart, paused, and said: "But what I didn't expect is that there has been no movement at the end of Jingci Palace from night to now, which is really rare!" ”

Hearing this, Pei Yaowei smiled slightly.

"Not unusual." She took the teacup and took a sip steadily, "A mud bodhisattva, always have to protect himself first before he can distract others......
