The bomb from Qi Heng made Pei Baoer feel extremely magical.

She inquired carefully with Bai Lu, only to learn that Concubine Wei was not taken out of the palace to recuperate after the first emperor's funeral, but was sent out in a hurry before the Spring Festival at the end of last year.

“…… There is no rumor beforehand, and if you say that there is no problem, the slave and maid will not believe it. Bai Lu lowered her voice, "Although the slave maid has only been in charge of the main courtyard in recent years, and she doesn't go out much on weekdays, but Harunyanagi Naniko is familiar with the people in the kitchen, and she can always bring back some fresh news." "That's the clever little girl she has under her." The day I returned home was nothing, and after a few days, the people at the bottom knew that the day when the news of the emperor's dragon was unwell came out, it happened to be those days, do you say it was a coincidence? ”

Ling Xue also said: "In previous years, when we entered the winter moon, the prince always asked our subordinates to buy things in advance and send them to Changle Palace for the year's gift. Last year, this errand happened to fall on the head of the slave maid's family, but everything was done, but suddenly received news that there was no need to send it. The slave maid was still wondering at the time, the old lady was too hasty to leave the palace, so she would ...... after the New Year."

Bai Lu and Ling Xue represent the thoughts of most of the people below, but they are not well-informed enough, at most they feel a little weird, they can't think of more, and they don't dare to think too much.

But Pei Bao'er is different, although she has not experienced it personally, she has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run, she is slightly familiar with this kind of bloodless fighting routine in the palace, so she is even more worried about the safety of her son.

She murmured worriedly: "What famous teachers are there in Beijing?" If you can invite Yan'er to enlighten you, you don't have to go to the palace before you wake up early in the morning......"

Beiyan brought a bowl of bird's nest soup over and said casually: "Didn't you say that it was the former Mr. Jiu Yan, the former priest of the country, who taught the princes and grandchildren their homework now?" In the capital, I'm afraid that no one else is more knowledgeable than Mr. Yan, right? ”

That's just as well.

Pei Bao'er's face was bitter.

Beiyan put the blue and white twined branch bowl in front of her: "Master, drink quickly, you haven't slept well for the past two days, and it's all blue and dark now." This blood swallow replenishes qi and clears heat, helps to clear the heart and calm the nerves......" Balabala said it for a while, and then carefully added the last sentence, "They are all tributes sent by the prince." ”

Pei Baoer is not a fool, so she naturally knows the meaning of the strings.

She was not very happy about Beiyan's suspected behavior of "betraying the master", and complained in a low voice: "Isn't it just swallow's saliva, it seems to be so advanced, I don't accept his affection ......"

"What water?" Beiyan, who didn't hear clearly, was confused.

Pei Bao'er pursed her lips, "It's nothing." ”

With the mentality of not drinking for nothing, she slowly stirred the soup in the bowl in an orderly manner, and at the same time pulled her mind back to the poisoning of the little emperor.

Judging from Qi Heng's rhetoric, Concubine Wei seems to be behind the blame, so who will be the real culprit?

Pei Baoer thought about it for a while, and felt that most of the people in the Qi family were suspicious. Because, she thinks backwards.

If the little emperor hangs up, who will be the biggest beneficiary?

Anyway, the little emperor is still young and has no heirs, if he has braids, he will definitely have to find one of those uncles and brothers to be the emperor.

Therefore, the suspects of the uncles include: King Kang, who is sick but still living a very wonderful life, and King Ning, who has just become a family member and has not long been in the court, and is young and energetic.

There are more possibilities for cousins in this generation, after all, Qi Heng's brothers and sons are not missing, and he, who only has two sons and one daughter, is already considered a thin heir. Except for King Ning, who has not yet given birth to a baby, the other palaces are looking forward to the little emperor's early ascension to Bliss, so that his son can take the throne. Especially King An's Mansion, which was one of the "candidates" named by the Empress Dowager Qin that year.

It cannot be ruled out that Qi Heng, the regent uncle, finally wants to go further, although this possibility is a bit low. According to Pei Baoer's understanding of him, this person will take everything he wants directly, and he will not be full to support such a big bend.

Although she didn't want to get involved in these messy things, her concern for her son still made Pei Baoer decide to take the initiative to go to the North Courtyard to see if she could find out some news.

When the maids found out, they all showed relief.

You must know that they have never seen a cheeky daughter-in-law like Pei Baoer, a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, living in the same house as her mother-in-law, but she can turn a blind eye. Forget about the morning and dusk provinces, it's been almost half a month since I came back, and I finally let go to ask for peace.

Bai Lu also gave a warm reminder: "The old lady has the habit of courtesy to the Buddha, and she will be in the small Buddha hall every day, and no one is allowed to disturb her." If the master wants to go, it is better to go early. In fact, what she meant was to let Pei Bao'er go over early in the morning, ask for peace, and serve the concubine with breakfast by the way, make a low bow, and round up the previous disrespectful behavior.

Pei Bao'er also nodded, not like she had any opinions, which made Bai Lu breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, when she came to the house to train the little maids as usual the next morning, she found that the hour had passed early, and Pei Baoer was still sleepily eating breakfast.

"Master, aren't you going to the North Courtyard?" Bai Lu asked carefully.

Pei Baoer said casually: "Yes." ”

"However, it's all this hour, and the old lady probably has already had breakfast." Bai Lu was very helpless.

Pei Bao'er looked inexplicable: "So what? She glanced at the sky and said to herself: "Isn't it still early, she only worships the Buddha in the afternoon, I just need to come back before lunch?" ”

Bai Lu and Beiyan exchanged colors, and Qi Qi was speechless.

So, when she arrived in the North Courtyard, Pei Baoer really suffered from Concubine Wei's eye killing.

"Yo, this is not early or late... What a rarity! Mama He, please take a seat, lest my delicate and expensive daughter-in-law faint again, and wait for San Lang to come back and throw me in the face~"

The corners of Pei Baoer's eyes twitched.

She suddenly remembered that not long after she became Pei Shu, the day after the holy decree of the Lin family being given the side concubine was issued, Concubine Wei, the mother-in-law, summoned her to the Changle Palace, and warned her not to treat the Lin family harshly, to be generous, Yunyun. At that time, Pei Shu's body was really bad, and in order to maintain her character and not pretend to be virtuous and virtuous, she had a few words with Concubine Wei Shu at that time, which made the latter angry. Not only did he not even give her a seat, but he punished her for standing for a long time, and asked people to find Qi Heng, who was scattered after the dynasty, to come over and complain. Then, coincidentally, just a few words after Qi Heng appeared, she fainted.

In a short coma, she didn't know what the mother and son had said or whether there had been an argument, but from the observation after waking up, it seemed that Qi Heng was a little unhappy. At that time, she thought that he was not pleasing to the eye, and stabbed him a few more times. As a result, did he get angry with Concubine Wei because of this matter?

Pei Baoer couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.

Looking back now, how does this routine look like the means of the White Lotus scheming female partner.

"Ahem, what is the mother talking about? Before, it was just a daughter-in-law who was sick, and she was afraid that she would pass her illness to you, so she delayed until today, which is really unfilial to her daughter-in-law. Pei Bao'er is talking nonsense in a serious way.

Concubine Wei opened her mouth, and the mockery that had been prepared did not come in handy.

She couldn't help but look at Pei's daughter-in-law, who had been her mother-in-law for many years, with new eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Pei's temperament had changed a lot compared to before.

I'm not so arrogant, I don't have anyone in my eyes anymore, I don't like to take the route of drifting out of the dust so much, I look more like a mortal, but I still don't look very close.

She had the heart to verify her idea, so she deliberately made a look, and soon after Mama He went out, Aunt Qin came in with Nana tea.

Pei Bao'er glanced at it casually, and then fell on the light-colored tea soup.

There is no resentment that drove people out of the house before, and there is no indifference and disgust later. At that glance just now, she could see clearly, Pei Bao'er's eyes were unexciting, as if she didn't recognize the Qin family at all, and only regarded her as an ordinary maid.

After Aunt Qin served the tea, she gracefully twisted the willow's thin waist and bowed to Pei Bao'er.

"The concubine visits the princess, the princess is blessed with Jin'an~"

Pei Bao'er still didn't move, and after signaling her to get up, she didn't have anything to do, and turned straight to Concubine Wei and said, "Mother, when the former son entered the palace, the Queen Mother asked her daughter-in-law to ask you how you were doing, saying that you were unwell, otherwise she would have invited you over." I don't know, the mother concubine has been better in the past two days? ”

Concubine Wei couldn't help but think too much about it, is Pei Shi retaliating for a tooth and mocking herself for pretending to be sick?

Aunt Qin saw that her face was slightly stiff, so she hurriedly said: "The old lady has been flustered and short of breath recently, and the imperial doctor didn't say anything, so she just let her take care of it." However, the concubine thought that if she could see the two little men in the house from time to time, she might be in a good mood and her illness would be cured. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Wei's face softened, and she followed her words: "It's exactly this, Xing'er is okay to say, Tan'er has only seen her twice in the past few days." There is some accusation in this statement.

Pei Bao'er couldn't help but look at the Qin family twice and raised her eyebrows.

She stubbornly didn't use the name Qi Heng called, and always felt that it was hard to hear: "Yan'er is studying in the palace now, and her daughter-in-law can't see anyone all day long." According to his daughter-in-law, he is a three-year-old child, and it is just a matter of inviting a Xixi to come to the mansion to be enlightened, so why go into the palace every day to toss? After all, Mr. Yan has to teach the emperor to do his homework, and he doesn't have much time to take care of other children, and those gentlemen in the Guozijian are honest, and the level is uneven......"

Concubine Wei was still thinking about what Pei Bao'er was suddenly visiting today, but she didn't guess it until this time.

"Please Xixi, San Lang refuses?"

Pei Baoer's typed draft was interrupted so sharply, and she said in her heart, sure enough, she knew her son Mo Ruomu, and this concubine was also an old fox.

She barely pretended to be innocent, and said with a smile: "Didn't the mother concubine want to see her grandson more, and the daughter-in-law just made a suggestion." If it's not good, the mother just hasn't heard of it. ”

Concubine Wei was thoughtful.

Aunt Qin, who was standing aside, churned in her heart.

The eldest son born to Concubine Lin is now four years old, but the prince has not mentioned it for a long time, but it is Pei's, and he just returned to the house a few days ago and went directly to the study.

She lowered her eyebrows and secretly looked at the woman in front of her who she hadn't seen for several years, only to see Pei Bao'er's delicate eyebrows and radiant face, and the depressed resentful woman who was "forced" to leave the capital by Concubine Lin was in the middle of the day, and she couldn't help but be secretly frightened. Thinking of the recent rumors and the ambiguous attitude of the prince, she thought about it a little more, and even listened absent-mindedly to what Concubine Wei and Pei Bao'er said later.

Before leaving, Concubine Wei mentioned it seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that you went into the palace to give away a lot of good things." ”

Pei Bao'er said cautiously: "It's just some fat powder, it's not a good thing." ”

Concubine Wei raised her voice a little: "You also know that it is not a good thing, why do you bring it in?" Have you been a migrant woman for a few years and have forgotten all these taboos? ”

Looking at the blank look on her face, Concubine Wei couldn't help but have a headache.

She pressed her temples and motioned to Mama He to explain for her, and the latter had to smile and say: "This palace is very particular about gift-giving, if it is not a very close relationship, it is easy not to send food or clothing, rouge gouache and other personal things, I am afraid that something will go wrong......"

Pei Baoer suddenly realized.

"But isn't that something that only the concubines have to pay attention to?" She was still a little puzzled, "I have no interest in those princesses and princesses, what are I doing with this?" ”

Concubine Wei looked at her as if she were mentally retarded.

If she doesn't harm others, won't she be wary of others biting back? It is important to know that three people become tigers, and there have always been many things like reversing black and white. It's still a trivial matter to bite her, if someone uses her to harm Saburo......

Concubine Wei originally observed her words and deeds today, and felt that this daughter-in-law might have changed her temperament, otherwise how could she win San Lang's heart? Although she didn't see him staying in the main courtyard, she knew very well that since Pei's "death", in the past few years, her son has lived a life comparable to that of an ascetic, if it wasn't because of her, who would believe it?

But today, when she looked at her, she realized that her temperament had indeed changed, but she had turned into a stupid person!

It's just terrible.
