The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

Pei Jing's eyes widened, "Xiao Shu, I know you have a good relationship with the queen, but you don't have to be like this."

I have no energy left, how can I survive?

Pei Shu rolled her eyes and didn't know how to explain the fake death drug.

She said casually: "Guess."

Pei Jing choked and stopped talking to her.

Someone from the palace came in and whispered: "Your Majesty ordered King Jiangdu and the eldest princess to leave the palace. There is no need to delay the queen's rest here."

Pei Jing's eyelids twitched, thinking that the emperor's brother was crazy, but after Pei Shu thought for a moment, he walked away very neatly.

People in Jiaofang Hall were in panic, and a few sobs could be heard from time to time. Ruyi sat in a daze outside the hall, remembering what His Majesty had just said.

"The queen will come back."

The emperor's tone was so sure that she couldn't help but believe it, and she could only believe it until now.

Ruyi glanced around at the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up, and said calmly: "Didn't His Majesty say that nothing happened to the empress, Jiaofang Palace will be the same as before, and no one is allowed to leak a word."

The people in the palace stood up tremblingly after hearing this, but no one dared to approach the inner hall.

At the top of the moon, on the bed in the inner hall, Pei Zhi held the woman in his arms tightly, pressing his lips against her forehead. He was flustered by the coolness on her skin. Even if his body was close to each other, he could not warm up. a little.

The curtains were lowered, and in the darkness, he even forgot for a moment that Yu Tingwan had taken the fake death medicine. Fortunately, the acacia on his body brought him back to his senses. If something happened to Yu Tingwan, he would not be able to lie down well. this.

His fingers brushed her cheek and stayed on her lips for a long time. When Marquis Pingyang came back and took her away, he didn't know how long it would take to touch this face.

Mr. Nanshan told Pei Xu that after taking this medicine, when he wakes up, it will be like sleeping.

Pei Zhi didn't close his eyes all night. When the sky was dim, he saw Yu Tingwan's expression was quiet, as if he was really having a sweet dream.

He called the palace attendants in, "I feel unwell and will be absent from court for three days."

The palace man accidentally caught a glimpse of the queen's clothes being changed into pajamas, lying next to His Majesty. Thinking of the past events of the previous Emperor Jing, his face turned pale and he did not dare to stay any longer.

Pei Zhi knew what the palace man was thinking, but he had no time to care about others now, and his eyes were fixed on Yu Tingwan.

Ruyi's expression only paused for a moment when he saw His Majesty combing the Queen's hair, but when he saw him carrying the Queen out of the inner hall, and even ordered someone to pass the meal between the two of them, he began to wonder whether what Pei Zhi said last night was crazy.

The other timid ones in the Jiaofang Palace shivered in fright when they saw the emperor speaking softly to the motionless woman in his arms.

The Marquis of Pingyang hurried back to the capital. As soon as he entered the Jiaofang Hall, he saw his Majesty with a calm expression stuffing a budding lotus into the hand of the person in his arms.

If he hadn't known that his sister was not dead, Yu Xiuyun would have thought that His Majesty was crazy, holding the body while talking in the summer, and even sleeping together at night.

"Marquis Pingyang is back?" Pei Zhi didn't even raise his head, his eyes glued to Yu Tingwan's face, "You can take her away tomorrow, and I will accompany you to send her to her residence in person."

"Tomorrow is too late, too late." Yu Xiuyun looked at the sharp look in the man's eyes, "The state of suspended animation can only last four or five days. At least she must leave tonight, otherwise she will wake up on the way."

"Then we'll set off at midnight tonight."

Marquis Pingyang stopped talking and planned to wait in the outer hall.

He looked at the people around him walking on tiptoe, and couldn't help but frown. Remembering that His Majesty had no intention of revealing the news of the Queen's death, he finally couldn't sit still anymore and walked straight into the inner hall.

As soon as he walked around the emerald screen, he paused as if struck by lightning. The man in purple uniform held the woman in his arms by the waist with one hand, clasped the back of her head with the other, and bowed his head to kiss her cheek and lips. There was a man lying on the ground. A solitary lotus.

When he noticed someone coming, Pei Zhi raised his eyes and looked over without any embarrassment, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu Xiuyun's eyelids twitched, feeling that His Majesty was very impatient and wanted to drive him away before continuing.

"Your Majesty, since the queen has passed away, it is time to let the previous court know and prepare for the funeral ceremony." Pingyang Hou said calmly: "This is how your Majesty discussed with me at the beginning."

"In the deep palace, no matter how tough the methods are, they can't stop the spread of fear and rumors." Yu Xiuyun looked serious, "There are no ordinary female officials in the palace who are missing for no reason, let alone the queen."

"I will inform the world that the queen is ill and is meditating in the temple."

Even though Yu Xiuyun had guessed that His Majesty would regret it, he never thought that he would act so recklessly. He suppressed his anger and said, "No one will believe it."

"Even if the former minister believed her, and the Queen woke up and knew that His Majesty had insisted that she was alive, she would not be able to take care of herself."

"It doesn't matter, Wan Wanwan will feel that I am just like the previous Emperor Jing." Pei Zhi touched her cheek lightly with his finger, "When she first entered the Wei Palace, I was afraid that she would go on a hunger strike and seek death, so I said that after her death, I would imitate Emperor Jing. .”

Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty doted on Concubine Yin. After Concubine Yin died, he kept the funeral secret and used an ice coffin to protect the body from decay and make her face lifelike. Emperor Jing placed the ice coffin in his bedroom and got into it every night. Later, the thirteenth prince born to Concubine Li accidentally stumbled upon the corpses of his father and his mother concubine having sex. He was so angry and frightened that he had a high fever, and the matter was completely exposed.

In the ten years since then, Emperor Jing went around seeking immortality, asking alchemists to summon the soul, and even went to the Ancestral Temple to ask for the blessings of the ancestors of heaven and earth to bring back the soul of Concubine Yin.

This matter was too ridiculous, and it was in great contrast with Emperor Jing's harsh and mean style in the previous dynasty. It had always been used as a talking point. Yu Tingwan naturally knew it. He was shocked by Pei Zhi's words and persuasive look, and immediately believed it. Now, he was staring at me and finished a good meal.

Yu Xiuyun's face turned red, and the veins on his neck and back of his hands were bulging. His sister must have been frightened by those words that could be called a beast. She couldn't restrain her anger and said in a somewhat harsh tone: "Your Majesty, if she feels this way, I'm afraid she will never do it again." Want to come back."

Pingyang Marquis felt that His Majesty was simply unreasonable now, and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty has been unwilling to hold funeral ceremonies and let the coffin be buried. How will I explain to her then that Your Majesty has never been suspicious of the empty coffin?"

"I will order someone to send the empty coffin to the imperial temple for burial." Pei Zhi spoke calmly and kept looking down at Yu Tingwan without looking at him. "Pingyang Marquis has always been smart and good at arguing. I believe you can convince Yu Tingwan." Night."

Yu Xiuyun could no longer hold on to the last trace of ceremonial smile on his face, and his forehead stung, "It seems that Your Majesty doesn't want to send her away."

"I never thought about it."

After Yu Xiuyun calmed down, he just thought that His Majesty was speechless for the moment. When he came back to his senses, he would naturally become more rational.

Hearing the sound of Marquis Pingyang leaving, Pei Zhi walked to the bronze mirror, looked down at the priceless jewelry, and touched the hair and wrists of the woman in his arms one by one.

Ruby necklace, golden phoenix pair of hairpins, red gold dotted with emerald blue lotus steps, white jade phoenix pendant, golden carp wearing green lotus and jade covering the temples, dragon playing with phoenix and pearl bun...

He pinched Yu Tingwan's earlobe. She was afraid of pain when she was a child, so she didn't have her ears pierced, otherwise she could still wear the pair of earrings.

Pei Zhi finally caught a glimpse of the string of southern red Buddhist beads. He hesitated for a moment, and finally wrapped the beads around her white wrist.

At midnight, Yu Xiuyun just raised his eyes and saw His Majesty carrying someone out. His originally plain hair bun was filled with pearls, gold and jade, and his wrists and neck were also covered with jewelry.

Marquis Pingyang twitched his lips. What did Pei Zhi mean? Could it be that Yu Ting was short of jewelry or money at the party?

Yu Xiuyun took a deep breath and swallowed a thousand words until he saw two carriages and his eyelids twitched.

He thought there were three people riding together, but he didn't expect that he was in a car alone.
