Chapter 16: Leaks
A poetry appreciation banquet naturally broke up unhappily.
Pei Qinghe first went back to Zhanghua Pavilion to find Xiao Tanji, and then returned to the princess's mansion.
On the way back, she deliberately called Chunyue into the carriage, and a third person was present, Xiao Tanji only glanced at her coldly at first, and then never spoke again.
-
After returning home, Pei Qinghe was not in a hurry to see her mother, she went back to Yutai Pavilion, she didn't eat much at the end of the day, she was very hungry.
Two lunches were passed, and one of them was sent to Xiao Tanji.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
She hopes that she can gradually untie Xiao Tanji's heart knot, and she will let him bully him back in the future.
During the meal, Chunyue was waiting on the side, and Pei Qinghe felt her desire to speak again.
She said to Chunyue, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”
Chunyue was slightly stunned, then bit her lip and said, "County Lord, how did you know that Concubine Rong was going to frame Concubine Nie?" ”
Pei Qinghe said without thinking about it: "Mother told me." ”
Spring Moon suddenly realized.
"By the way, Chunyue, there's one more thing you need to find someone to do."
-
Before the evening, there was a rumor about what happened in the palace today, and Concubine Rong, who was known for her virtuousness, framed the concubine in full view, and was later seized by the current saint.
By word of mouth, Concubine Rong's good reputation over the years can be said to have been ruined.
What happened in the palace today, on the surface, is nothing, it is nothing more than that there is an ignorant palace maid in Concubine Rong's palace, and the saint is angry and punishes Concubine Rong for a while.
And the palace has always been tight-lipped.
In addition, the people present today are all female dependents and young ladies who have not left the cabinet, so they naturally will not talk about this matter indiscriminately.
But even so, the story still came out, and it was rumored.
But not long after, I don't know where there were rumors that Concubine Rong was framed, and the person who had a bad reputation for Concubine Rong was the Shen family, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the reason was that Concubine Rong favored the lord of Qinghe in the palace and punished the young lady of the Shen family, the right attendant.
The Shen family backed the King of Wei and bribed street vendors to slander Concubine Rong's reputation.
The Holy Dragon Yan was furious and ordered the investigation of a housekeeper in the Shen Mansion.
That night, he dug up a lot of secrets from the butler's mouth.
At the same time, Jinyiwei reported that the assassin who assassinated the county lord of Qinghe revealed the real murderer behind it.
They said that the king of Wei hired them to assassinate the lord of Qinghe.
Overnight, the Wei Mansion was in jeopardy.
Early the next morning, when Chunyue came to report, Pei Qinghe shrunk in the futon and sighed for a long time, she had asked Chunyue to spread the news to discredit the concubine's reputation, and pushed the matter onto the Shen family.
Unexpectedly, everything she did yesterday was to inadvertently help her emperor's uncle.
Inquire about the Shen Mansion.
Forced confessions to the Assassins.
The king of Zhi Wei was caught off guard.
interlocking, worthy of being the monarch who can defend the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Wei Wangfu was destroyed, what about Pei Zheng?
Pei Qinghe remembered that the king of Wei was demoted in the previous life, and he encountered bandits on the road, and no one survived.
The rumor said that it was the handiwork of their princess's mansion, but in fact, her emperor's uncle was disgusted with King Wei.
In the previous life, if she hadn't gone to the palace to beg her emperor's uncle, Pei Zheng would not have been able to stay in Beijing.
If she lets go in this life, will Pei Zheng also die?
After returning from rebirth, she was busy solving Mo Chenzhi, helping Concubine Nie, and eliminating Xiao Tan and the resentment in her heart, so she didn't have time to think about Pei Zheng at all, but now it was time for her to make a decision.
Pei Zheng's mother was just an unfavored concubine in the Wei Palace, and Pei Zheng was not valued by the King of Wei, and her emperor's uncle saw these things.
If she went into the palace at this moment to beg him to let Pei Zheng go, he would definitely agree.
This was the case in previous lives.
But the problem is that she is now cold to Pei Zheng.
The deepest memory he left her was that he loved Gu Beining, so much so that he could sacrifice everything for Gu Beining, and he didn't even want the throne anymore.
If Pei Zheng is alive and Gu Beining appears in the future, he will still fall in love with her, and even in this life, he will directly stand on the opposite side of the princess's mansion.
Pei Qinghe understands Pei Zheng's ability, and he will be a fierce rival of the princess's mansion.
If he dies...... She doesn't have one less to worry about.
But she and he have visited the church and become a married couple.
In his previous life, he had blocked the sword for her, had curled her hair with his own hands, and had taken her to ride a horse in the suburbs to relax, he saved her from fire and water, protected her safety, and dared to entrust her life to her.
You see, he's such a good man.
But in the end, he still lost her.
Because of Gu Beining, he lost her.
-
Because of his unhappy mood and the delay in making a decision, Pei Qinghe lay on the bed for most of the day as if he was sick.
Until it was almost noon, a holy decree suddenly came from the palace, ordering the lord of Qinghe to enter the palace this evening to copy the scriptures for the current saint.
After getting the news, Pei Qinghe pondered for a long time, then got up to freshen up and went to her mother's palace.
-
When Pei Qinghe arrived, her mother was sitting in the main hall, wrapped in a white magnolia loose flower gauze dress, plump her muscles and jade bones, and she was natural. She had the bright yellow holy decree in her hand, as if she had expected Pei Qinghe to come early in the morning, so she deliberately waited here.
Pei Qinghe saw that it was still the son of Yun Xi who was waiting by her mother's side today.
She glanced at it and bowed her head to her mother.
"I've seen my mother."
"You're here."
Her mother handed over the holy decree to Yun Xi Gongzi, and then Yun Xi Gongzi handed it to Pei Qinghe.
As last time, the mother and daughter talked, and the rest of the hall retreated outside the hall.
When everyone went out, Pei Qinghe suddenly remembered something, she said: "Mother, yesterday in the palace, the second miss of the Shen family said that there would be a catastrophe in our princess's mansion, and my daughter didn't understand what she meant. ”
Could it be that there was something else she didn't know?
Pei Nanyue was holding a flower cat in her arms, and she gently rubbed the hair of the flower cat while answering Pei Qinghe's question: "The person in the palace was found to be acting by someone, and the Shen family knew about him letting people assassinate you, thinking that he was going to dispose of the princess's mansion, and the second daughter of the Shen family just said that yesterday." ”
Pei Qinghe eased the meaning of her mother's words, and was about to speak again, but her mother said again: "It doesn't matter who leaked his will, the important thing is that he will treat you well, and let the world see that he is a virtuous monarch and a benevolent elder." ”
Pei Qinghe blinked, wouldn't that mean that she could act wantonly in the palace?
She bit her lip and struggled for a long time, but still asked in a low voice: "Mother, I'm curious about who released the news that the emperor's uncle was going to dispose of the princess's mansion?" ”
Pei Nanyue didn't bother to raise her eyelids, "Who else can it be." She said, "Naturally, it's the one who is next to the pillow." ”
The person next to the pillow?
Concubine Rong?
"Concubine Rong hates Bengong so much, I can't wait to see Bengong's jokes."
"So Concubine Rong really mistakenly thought that the emperor's uncle was going to target us." Pei Qinghe subconsciously analyzed the stakes involved, "Concubine Rong inadvertently broke a good game of chess for the emperor's uncle, will she die?" ”
