Pei Shu said a few words to the prince, then said she was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest for a while. When she saw no one around on the road, her face gradually became gloomy.

He called the attendants brought by the princess's palace into the inner room and tried hard to suppress the hysterical impulse.

"Go and check. Tell me who the prince saw and what he said all day long."

Whatever the Crown Princess does in the East Palace, those attendants will send a message to the Palace of Wei.

Pei Zhi burned the secret letter, and the flames licked the edges of the paper little by little. He felt pretty good and finally didn't lose his mind when he saw Zhao Heng.

He didn't want to break up with the prince just yet. The emperor would only have two sons left. If the new prince died, where would he be able to raise another one?

Zhao Heng originally postponed the wedding date, but the wedding dress had already been prepared. The spies told the King of Wei that the wedding dress was made according to the princess's figure.

Pei Zhi was a little surprised at the time. He had always thought that Zhao Heng and Pei Shu were just having fun, but he didn't expect that they were still somewhat sincere.

Then he wanted to understand why Zhao Heng refused to see Pei Shu. I was afraid that every time he saw his sweetheart, he would be reminded that he and the entire Zhou royal family were under the control of King Wei.

Zhao Heng seems to be afraid of trouble now, but when he was seven or eight years old, he said to Chen Xi privately: "Cousin, everyone will find and punish the rebellious ministers and traitors."

At that time, Pei Xu had just beheaded Gongsun Xiong of Liangzhou and stopped the rebels from attacking Chang'an. As soon as the news came back to the capital, Zhao Heng said this.

Pei Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the ashes beside the candle, and coldly ordered the Dragon Slayer Guard: "There is no need to send the news slowly, just give all the things the prince has done to Pei Shu."

It has been half a month.

After the affairs in the East Palace were over, he wrote a letter asking Yu Ting to come back early.

Zhao Heng ordered people to rehearse the formation-breaking music. It is said that some Beihu tunes were added, which he found fresh. He invited the princess to come to the palace to comment on the new music.

After the song, Pei Shu looked around and pointed at the musician playing the sheng.

"This guy looks good, come here and let me take a closer look."

The expressions on Zhao Heng's and Na Leren's faces were a little subtle. After all, when Pei Shu was still the princess, she had raised many actors, and her tone at this moment was definitely not serious.

The music man stepped forward, lowered his head and raised his eyebrows. Pei Shu came down, raised his chin, and looked at him carefully for a moment.

Just when Zhao Heng couldn't bear it any longer, the woman in gorgeous clothes took out the dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it into the throat of the musician in front of her without changing her expression, just like stabbing the horse to death.

The hot blood that burst out of her throat splashed all over her body. Pei Shu squinted her eyes and realized that this was blood splattered five feet away. She hadn't seen it for a long time.

Zhao Heng seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to get up.

Pei Shu looked around with interest at the expressions of everyone in the hall. Apart from the panicked Le Ren, there were also some who were ready to make a move.

One, two, three...the numbers matched the information.

She leaned down, peeled off the clothes of the corpse on the ground, and saw a tattoo, and nodded.

I wasn't too sure just now, so I killed him first and then talked about it, and he was indeed right.

She turned around and looked at Zhao Heng, her expression strangely calm, like stagnant water that would not make waves.

The attendant waiting outside broke in. It was the one she brought in from the princess's mansion.

She walked towards the handsome man on the stage, touched his cheek with her bloody hand and said, "Brother Aheng, I'm very disappointed in you. Let's have a good chat after these people are dealt with."

"Please identify for yourself which of these are the assassins you have raised." Pei Shu spoke softly, "The intelligence says that you have raised eleven retainers and are preparing to assassinate my eldest brother. Please point them out to me one by one, okay? "

For a moment, Zhao Heng heard the same threat as King Wei from the soft and gentle tone, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"Since you don't want to say anything, then kill them all. I would rather kill them by mistake than let them go." Pei Shu said in a deep voice, looking at the corpse on the ground, "Some people are so loyal and want to help you support Da Zhou, and they even abandon their wives. Son, you entered the palace to be an eunuch, but you can't even protect their young son."

"Say it yourself, I can protect their family from death. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid not only the royal family will die."

Zhao Heng's palms bled from pinching him. He glanced at Pei Shu and nodded: "Xiao Shu deserves to be a member of the Pei family... I say."

Every time he uttered a name, the smell of blood in the palace became thicker, and Pei Shu's face became even more ugly.

When there were only two people left in the hall, Zhao Heng's face turned pale, his figure was shaky, and the strong smell of blood on the tip of his nose made him want to vomit.

"It's King Wei——"

As soon as he spoke, Pei Shu couldn't help but slap him, and the man's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Afraid of this? My mother, father and brother shed a little more blood on the battlefield than this." Pei Shu pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are so cruel. Without my eldest brother, do you think you can sit here?"

"What Xiao Shu said about sitting here is just to be a puppet?"

"My mother was born and died on the battlefield, but Emperor Min married her most beloved sister to Beihu. The emperor used a cup of poisonous wine to plot against her. My father and brother have unified the country and have made great contributions to rebuilding the world. You used this trick on him. Pei Shu's eyes turned red with anger, "The men of the Zhao family are really more useless than the last. They only live in hiding behind women's skirts and the Pei family's battle flag."

Her face was cold, "Don't call me Xiao Shu. You don't have any desire for power on the surface, but you do this kind of thing behind your back and deceive me. It makes people feel disgusting."

Pei Shu stared at the man with a face as white as paper for a moment, "I don't want to see you again."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation, without even looking back, until he walked out of the hall, holding on to the white jade railing, and slowly bent down, his throat felt fishy and sweet, and he vomited blood.

A plain silk handkerchief appeared in front of her eyes. She slowly raised her eyes and saw her eldest brother.

After swallowing the blood foam in her mouth, Pei Shu laughed softly, stood up and looked up at Pei Zhi.

"Brother, I actually understand why you did this."

She pointed in the distance, which was the direction of Taiye Pond, "I loved going to the palace to play when I was a child. In the nearby palace passage, I heard two eunuchs saying that Prime Minister Pei was a traitor and it would be a shame to die. At that time, my father had just Seriously wounded, I stepped forward and killed them with the dagger my father had given me."

Pei Zhi thought thoughtfully, "You mean the year we attacked Taoxu?"

"Yes, I was still a child at that time, but when they saw me they started to tremble. When the dagger stabbed into his chest, the other man didn't even dare to run away. He was so tall but he could only kneel down and beg for mercy."

Pei Shu nodded and said with emotion: "Power is such a good thing. Let others face the knife at their necks and kneel on the ground without even daring to think of resistance. No wonder you all like it and want to fight. Even your own sister can take advantage of it." .”

Pei Zhi's expression finally changed. His purple clothes were suddenly pulled and stained with blood.

"Why me?" Pei Shu raised her eyes and choked up: "You were the one who revealed that information to me on purpose, right? If someone must do this kind of thing in front of Zhao Heng, why must you choose me?"
