Empress dowager, the queen sighed

In the evening, the long streets and alleys were still discussing how the empress dealt with the envoys of the puppet Han Dynasty.Pei Yao went out of the palace to buy candy, and walked through the crowd with the oiled paper bag containing the candy.

At dusk in autumn, some pedestrians walked in a hurry, and some stood chatting at the entrance of the alley, eagerly waiting for their families to return.

Pei Yao bit the candy in her mouth, her eyes lingered on everyone.They didn't know her, and she didn't know them, even if their eyes collided, it wouldn't be strange.

After all, which little girl doesn't like sweets, and she likes to tell some family stories when she is busy.

She walked under the city gate and saw the hanging corpses of people from southern Xinjiang. It was not as scary as she imagined. She stuffed a piece of brittle candy into her mouth and bit it until it creaked.

Pei Yao stood there for a while, when Zhao Kui just came and trotted up hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"General Zhao, don't panic, I'm just here to see this thief." Pei Yao signaled Zhao Kui not to panic, and generously gave him a piece of orange candy, asking, "Is there any movement?"

"No, I have been observing for a few days, and I haven't seen anyone suspicious." Zhao Kui hesitated, but chose to take the orange candy, imitating the empress's movements, and put the candy into his mouth. Immediately, a sweet smell filled his mouth inside.

So sweet that my teeth are falling out.

Pei Yao continued to bite the candy, and continued to think about Miss Li in her mind, pondered for a moment with a blank face, then turned and left.

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Kui chased after him.

Pei Yao stopped walking, and gave him all the oil-paper bags in her hand: "Here you are, don't follow me."

Zhao Kui: "..." Did he come to ask for candy?

Pei Yao went back to the long street and bought another pack of orange candies, the guards led the horse, she got on the horse and went straight back to the palace.

Li Lexi didn't step out of the palace door all day, lying on the couch was counted as recuperation, and Pei Yao handed her the candy when she came back.

Li Lexi didn't answer, but still looked out of the window, Pei Yao closed the window and said, "I went to the city gate to check, but the Nanjiang Renjing didn't show up, so I bought some candy for you. Are you asleep?"

"No." Li Lexi looked at her calmly, but after a while, she suddenly smiled, "After sleeping, I will fall into a dream."

A touch of helplessness.

That's it, Pei Yao also laughed, and leaned over to touch her forehead, her heart softened.Pei Yao had a lot of questions to ask, such as what happened to Chu Yuan's grave, if it was really dug up, would the bones be found and reburied.

Miss Li protects her, and she is also afraid that Miss Li will be hurt.

The two sat close to each other, Pei Yao opened the oiled paper bag, took a piece of candy, and handed it to her mouth, Li Lexi shook her head, not wanting to eat it.

Pei Yao had no choice but to eat by herself.

After she finished eating the candy, Li Lexi realized that there was some distance between her and Pei Yao.Tomorrow is together, but alienated for no reason.

Maybe I'm too greedy.

Li Lexi leaned on the soft couch, feeling unreal and subtle.From when she came back to when Pei Yao left the palace to buy candy, the inexplicable strangeness seemed to be something changing, the details were unpredictable, but they still existed.

She looked at Pei Yao who was picking up candy in the oil paper bag with her head down, and hooked her little finger guiltily.Pei Yao was startled, then turned her head unconsciously, "Want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat." Li Lexi shook her head.

Pei Yao remained silent, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Miss Li's words, she ate the candy by herself without any intention of 'feeding' the candy.

If you bite too much on the crispy candy, your cheeks will hurt. After eating a few pieces, Pei Yao put the oil paper bag on the table and got up to find tea by herself.

However, on the table next to Li Lexi, there was a cup of tea shining brightly, but it belonged to Li Lexi.

Li Lexi leaned on the soft couch, fixed her eyes on Pei Yao, and said bitterly: "Are you angry?"

"No, why are you angry?" Pei Yao didn't turn around, but just asked casually.She couldn't find tea in the hall, so she went out of the hall and ordered Qingzhu to make tea, and then walked back to the hall by herself.

Li Lexi didn't speak anymore, the corners of her lips curled up. When Chu Yuan was angry, he would speak loudly and vent his dissatisfaction. Pei Yao was like an angry little daughter-in-law.

She closed her eyes, and the smile on her face deepened.

"Pei Yao, you are just angry."

"Queen, there is something wrong with what you think." Pei Yao glanced at her, "I'm going to Xuanshi Hall, the queen has a good rest."

Pei Yao left, leaving only a bag of candy, Li Lexi didn't have the heart to eat it, and fell asleep on the couch.

This time, she dreamed of Chu Yuan again, but unlike the previous times, she was in the White Horse Temple.Chu Yuan was wearing a skirt, and his behavior was a little uncomfortable. He was careless, not like a girl.

Chu Yuan stared at her, bent his eyebrows and smiled slightly, and held her hand: "Sister."

Li Lexi sighed deeply, she knew she was trapped, but she didn't want to come out.She had thought about Chu Yuan for too long, and Pei Yao's kindness made her miss Chu Yuan even more.

From the dream until dawn, she opened her eyes, exhausted, and when she got up, she saw Pei Yao sitting beside her and reading a book.

She was surprised, but Pei Yao said: "When I came last night, I couldn't wake you up. Empress, what did you dream about?"

Li Lexi raised her forehead, her mind was in a mess like a mess, she smiled into Pei Yao's clear eyes, "Pei Yao, without Chu Yuan, there would be no you."

Pei Yao was not surprised, indeed, she was used by Chu Yuan to 'imprison' Li Lexi.

She chuckled: "I know, I am her. What you are obsessed with is not Chu Yuan, but that memory full of guilt."

People can face it, people can love again, but the past is irreversible.Li Lexi is a human being, not a god or demon, she can't change the past, she can't bring herself back to the past, she can't do it.It's her weakness that people from southern Xinjiang take advantage of.

Pei Yao seldom mentioned Chu Yuan on her own initiative. She once said that she didn't hate Chu Yuan.

Like Chu Yuan, she is a passer-by in Li Lexi's life.

Li Lexi pursed her lips, "Pei Yao, you are very calm, so calm that it scares me."

"You will also be afraid. The queen is invincible, so how can you be afraid?" Pei Yao stood up in a strange way, walked to the queen, and stared at her with lowered eyes: "Queen, if I don't want to be the emperor, will I? Nothing to worry about."

Li Lexi's eyelids trembled slightly, and her heart suddenly became frightened, "I will solve the matter in southern Xinjiang by myself, don't worry."

"Look at you, you can't let go of the throne. In fact, you can be the emperor, but I'm just your puppet. I thought about it for a long time last night. Only you can untie the obsession in your heart. Your obsession does not come from a dream, It comes from a hundred years ago. How lucky you are to have Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan has you, and it is a lifetime of blessing.”

"And I am Chu Yuan's rebirth, but I am not Chu Yuan anymore. I am carrying Chu Yuan's unfinished mission. My usefulness is probably to be with you, which is Chu Yuan's way of making up for it. As for the emperor, maybe Chu Yuanjing Do not want."

"You may be confused, but the truth is like this. I was created by Chu Yuan with her life. It's just her way of loving you, instead of continuing to be the emperor's chess piece. I guess she has no shame for Daqi, and she is right. You are deeply guilty. That's why you have me."

After saying that, she chuckled, took a sip of the cold tea, and put it down, "Queen, let go of all this."

Power is the root of evil.

Li Lexi was forced to look directly into her eyes.Pei Yao's eyes were not stained with dust or dirt, they were as clean as ever, just like back then, the little girl before the Buddha did not dirty her heart because of the throne.

She imitated Pei Yao's posture and smiled lightly, "Pei Yao, you are jealous."

Pei Yao turned her head sideways, "No, I'm talking about the most serious thing."

"I also told you the most unscrupulous thing. Tonight, I won't sleep. How is it?" Li Lexi lowered her posture to coax her, "I understand what you say, but if you give up, how many people will be there?" Take the opportunity to deal with you. If you are not the emperor, it would be easy for Nanjiang to deal with you and me. You look at Bailishu, and the people of Nanjiang stare at her, what can she do?"

The power of one person is too small, hundreds of people, thousands of people, ten thousand people are the source of fear in southern Xinjiang.

Pei Yao said: "Li Lexi, you still have one more day. I will come again when you return to normal."

The early court time was delayed, and it was an hour later than usual when the empress changed her clothes to go to court.The courtiers dared not speak, but the prime minister gave the emperor a worried look.

At the court meeting, the courtiers not only talked about Li Chengye, but also the southern Xinjiang soldiers who were about to move.

Hearing about Nanjiang, Pei Yao frowned, and immediately said: "This time, I can't let Nanjiang step into the land of Great Wei, and I will drive them back to Nanjiang completely."

After saying this big word, she almost bit her tongue. Just now she wanted to drag Miss Li from becoming the empress, but now she made another big word.

Pei Yao covered her face...

****

After the dynasty was over, the prime minister stayed and worriedly asked the empress if she was feeling well.

Pei Yao refused, and comforted her a little, and the Prime Minister left Xuanshi Hall.

Jing Tuo rushed back from Shaodu and brought back several corpses.Pei Yao is the empress, he was afraid of frightening her, so he put the body outside the palace, and entered the palace to report by himself.

"I found some writing on the corpse, which I don't understand." Jing Tuo first handed the paper back to the empress, and then talked about what he saw and heard in the past two days.

After the national teacher left that night, he dared not go to Mingwang Mountain, and asked people to prepare torches and go up the mountain overnight. 3000 people searched in the mountains all night, and at dawn they were in a cave.Several bodies were found.After entering the cave, there are corpses inside.

Jing Tuo didn't dare to go forward to check, but went to find a doctor, if it was poisonous, he would immediately bury the body.

After the doctor came, poison was found on the corpse, but he had no choice but to order him to stay in the cave.He set a fire in his mouth and burned the corpses.Carefully place the hole.The few corpses at the mouth were brought back along the way, and I dare not take it lightly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the words on these papers are copied by the minister, not from the corpse."

Pei Yao knew a few Nanjiang characters, and after seeing it, she pressed the paper on the dragon table and asked Jing Tuo: "Can you see the grave on the mountain?"

Jing Tuo was slightly stunned, "There are indeed graves in Mingwang Mountain, but there are more than one. I don't know which grave you are talking about?"

Mingwang Mountain is a big mountain. 3000 people entered the mountain to search for it all night. Ordinary people would easily get lost when entering the mountain, let alone looking for an unknown grave.

Pei Yao didn't ask anymore, Jing Tuo didn't know about Chu Yuan, so it was useless to ask, she told Jing Tuo to go down to rest and ask someone to call Baili Shu to see him.

I just played with Baili Shu yesterday, and Pei Yao couldn't get tired of it.When Bailishu came to see him, he was unhappy, he didn't look at Pei Yao, he simply saluted and stood where he was, ignoring Pei Yao at all.

"Jing Tuo came back and found a few corpses. You know medical skills, go and have a look. Also, look at the text here." Pei Yao didn't care about her flirting with herself.

Baili was so angry that he didn't dare to put on a show, and his expression was nothing more than a gesture. After receiving the letter, he glanced at it casually, and his eyes suddenly changed, "Where's the person?"

Pei Yao: "Dead."

Bailishu: All gone? "

Pei Yao nodded: "It's all gone."

Baili Shu smiled, "Those people are all pharmacists, it's fine if they're dead." It's not easy for a pharmacist from southern Xinjiang to set Li Lexi a trap.After all, she has been busy for a hundred years, but she has not been able to get any benefit from Li Lexi.

Pei Yao didn't know what a pharmacist was, and didn't bother to argue, she just said: "What did you write?"

"The lord of the southern border wants the medicine of longevity. He found out that Chu Yuan's blood can water the two life flowers, so he asked people to try to dig up Chu Yuan's bones. The bones were ground into powder, and then mixed with blood, so as to water the two life flowers. Trying to get medicine."

Pei Yao sneered, they are all lunatics, Chu Yuan has been dead for a hundred years, his bones are nothing but dry bones.

"Has it been dug out?"

Bailishu couldn't help laughing, "Looking at these words, it seems that they have been dug up, and it's nothing more than a setback. It's conceivable that Li Lexi went crazy and killed everyone. At least leave me a medicine man. What a pity."

"Bailishu, Chu Yuan should do it. Kill you." Pei Yao couldn't listen to the sarcastic words, and looked at Bailishu with dark eyes, "She won't do it. If you kill you, I can do it for you."

"It's just a joke, Your Majesty, don't be angry. I will go and see those corpses, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation." Bailishu knew that his words were wrong, so he didn't need the emperor to call someone to catch her, so he trotted out first. Dian, "Commander Jing, where's the corpse?"

Pei Yao listened to the angry words, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, she got up calmly, and led Gong'e towards the middle palace.

It was getting late, and it was time for lunch in Zhonggong, Ruoyun couldn't wait to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Pei Yao to sit down.

"Today is so light." Pei Yao stared at a table of vegetarian dishes, her eyes paused, "Is the queen a vegetarian?"

Ruoyun's eyelids trembled, and he dared not respond, but boldly tugged on Pei Yao's cuff quietly.

Pei Yao understood, sat down and picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, took a bite, it was very crisp, she looked at Miss Li: "It seems that the queen hasn't cooked for a long time."

"Your Majesty wants to eat, just come back at night." Li Lexi's face was slightly pale, not as bright as before.

Next, the two had a silent lunch. Pei Yao didn't eat breakfast and was very hungry. After finishing the rice, he asked someone to prepare a bowl of shredded chicken noodles.

She asked Ms. Li again: "Do you want to eat?"

"I've been a vegetarian for half a month, Your Majesty doesn't need to care about me." Li Lexi got up calmly, walked back to the couch, and sat down, with a calm expression, and no intention of continuing to talk to Pei Yao.

Pei Yao didn't force her either, she ate a large bowl of chicken noodle by herself, and finally came to her side and whispered, "Did you find her bones?"

Li Lexi's heart trembled, and she turned sideways, "No."

Pei Yao also felt distressed, she was Miss Li who loved her so much, she immediately grabbed Miss Li's hand hidden in her cuff, and gently rubbed her fingertips on her wrist, silently comforting her.

Li Lexi took a deep breath, raised her head and closed her eyes, "I thought that after a hundred years, no one would care about her."

The great Han Dynasty has all perished, and a new dynasty has just established. Who cares about what happened a hundred years ago.

"Queen, I will help you destroy Southern Border."

Li Lexi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were moist, "You pity me?"

"I'm just sorry for myself. It's unlucky to meet you, and I like you so much. I don't mind if you have Chu Yuan in your heart, and I don't want to fight with a person who has been defeated." Pei Yao sighed, who let Chu Yuan be her previous life Well, eating your own jealousy is a waste of your time and energy.

Li Lexi smiled suddenly, tears rolled down his eyes, "Pei Yao, am I useless?"

Pei Yao stared at her: "If you are useless, the world will be full of people who do nothing."

Li Lexi covered her face and wept bitterly, Pei Yao fell into doubt, and instead asked her: "You cry for other women, should I comfort you?"

Li Lexi, who was crying bitterly, heard this sentence, her cry was a little softer, and she looked at her with red eyes: "Do you have a heart?"

"Youxin, this heart belongs to Pei Yao, not to Chu Yuan. If you cry for her, Pei Yao will not be able to comfort you. If you cry, I will go back to the Xuanshi Palace to review the memorial." Pei Yao took a step forward with a bitter face. One step away.

Li Lexi gradually came out of the sadness, staring at the palace gate, her feelings for the past were condensed in the void, after a hundred years, she lost her only thought of Chu Yuan.

The emperor's sword was placed on the sword stand, and she took off the emperor's sword. At this time, she needed to do something.

Pei Yao is fine now, she doesn't need to take care of her, and there will be someone who will pay the price for Chu Yuan's corpse.

Whoever is the leader will make whoever pays the price.

Stepping out of the central palace gate, she took a deep breath, and slowly stepped down the steps, and a person jumped out from the corner, "Are you going to Southern Xinjiang?"

Pei Yao carefully looked at Li Lexi, she didn't leave, she was afraid that Li Lexi would sneak away again, and sure enough, she was going to run away again.

After catching the person, Pei Yao walked over and put the black iron chain prepared in her hand on Miss Li's wrist, "Don't try to run away."

One is tied to her wrist, and the other is tied to Miss Li's wrist.

Li Lexi raised his forehead, "Where did you get the chain?"

"It's from the Imperial Forest Army, and it's specially for you." Pei Yao chuckled, shook the bracelet triumphantly, and led Li Lexi to the Xuanshi Palace, saying, "Li Chengye asked me to hand over Li Puyu, what do you say?" Why are your descendants so ignorant of themselves?"

Li Lexi had no choice but to hold the sword and was forced to follow her. The bracelet was very short, no more than an arm's length away.She looked at the chain, feeling helpless at Pei Yao's strange thoughts, "What will you do when you go to court?"

"Bring the queen to court." Pei Yao was confident.

Li Lexi refused: "Don't you feel ashamed?"

"It's all about losing face. Compared to losing face, losing face is nothing." Pei Yao felt very satisfied, it was just face, which is dispensable.She, the emperor, would lie down below from time to time, and she was even more face-saving.

No more!

Li Lexi had a headache, "Where's the key?"

"I don't know. I didn't bring it with me when I came here. No, it seems that the Royal Forest Army didn't hand over the key to me."

Li Lexi was led away by her, following every step, like a rebellious child, "You lied to me again."

"So what, haven't you ever lied to me? If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked, not to mention that your upper beam is crooked, and my lower beam will naturally be crooked."

"Pei Yao, do you think the bracelet can trap Bengong?" Li Lexi changed to a 'set of keys' method.

Pei Yao walked without looking back, let alone listening to Li Lexi's words, "If you can't hold back, you won't say these words."

Li Lexi had no other choice, after Pei Yao became the emperor, she became more and more savvy, it was very difficult for her to be able to deceive her.

Pei Yao was no longer the little nun who could be fooled by a chicken bun.

It was a bit of a journey from Jiaofang Hall to Xuanshi Hall. Along the way, Li Lexi kept coaxing Pei Yao. When he arrived at Xuanshi Hall, his mouth was already dry, but Pei Yao was still indifferent.

The three emperors and queens walked together and entered the Xuanshi Hall together.The empress led the queen to the dragon chair, but the queen refused to sit down. She pulled the chain, and the queen was forced to sit down.

"The queen is very obedient." Pei Yao said happily.

Qing Zhu's eyes couldn't stop jumping, she saw the chain between the emperor and empress, what kind of tricks did His Majesty play?

The dragon chair is quite big, and the emperor and empress do not feel crowded when sitting together.Pei Yaoping retreated to the maid in the palace, she had a chain on her left hand, which was inconvenient, so she used her right hand to hold the memorial and pen.

Li Lexi just watched her work quietly.

"Queen, take a look here." Pei Yao handed her a memorial, "Give it to me for review."

"Your Majesty has a good idea, but my concubine won't!" Li Lexi sneered, if she wasn't in Xuanshi Hall, she would have held down little Pei Yao and cleaned her up.

Hearing this, Pei Yao gouged her with her eyes, "If you don't know how, just watch and don't even think about going anywhere."

Li Lexi didn't say a word, she turned her body sideways, but out of the corner of her eye she fell on the memorial, which was the battle report from Yuzhou.

Li Chengye was already in Yuzhou, and he was too late to go to the battlefield. He had been in the powder pile for a long time, lost his fighting spirit, and didn't want to make a big career at all.Instead, the generals below asked for orders to go to the battlefield, and they are now stalemate.

Pei Yao said to herself: "You're right, I should go to the conquest myself, so that they can see how powerful the queen is."

Li Lexi withdrew his gaze and ignored it.

Pei Yao quietly pushed the memorial to the Queen's side.When Li Lexi saw it, she picked it up and threw it out. With a clatter, it flew far away.

"You lost it, I will pick it up." Pei Yao pretended to sigh, stood up, and pulled the queen to pick it up.

Li Lexi was forced to stand up, unable to suppress her anger, she simply grabbed Pei Yao's hand, "Key."

"Pick up the playbook." Pei Yao pretended not to hear, walked over and bent over to pick it up, and patted the dust like a gesture, and stuffed it into the Queen's hand, "Do you want to throw it away?"

Anyway, the queen throws it, she picks it up.It is equivalent to, the queen throws it by herself and picks it up by herself.

"Pei Yao!" Li Lexi called her in a deep voice.

Pei Yao led her back to the dragon chair, and continued to review the memorabilia, her mouth was not idle, she read while reading, making Li Lexi frowned.

Pei Yao was nagging, she couldn't see the shadow of Chu Yuan on her body, it should be said that she lived the way Chu Yuan longed for most.Chu Yuan is diligent, but every year on the third day of the first lunar month, she will sleep for a whole day.She is not being lazy, but indulging herself.

This is the only day in a year when you will indulge.

Li Lexi gradually calmed down, and her heart leaned towards Pei Yao strangely at this moment, perhaps, Pei Yao was the "desire" in Chu Yuan's heart.

She took the memorial that Pei Yao put in front of her, looked at the memorial carefully, and told Pei Yao how to review it carefully, and how to think carefully about her words.

When there are things to do, my mind will be filled at once, leaving no time and energy to think about other things.

She looked at the memorial, and talked with Pei Yao about the most serious political affairs, and Pei Yao also stepped out of her dandyism just now, and became a serious emperor.

Li Lexi stared at her side face, the corners of her lips were finally bent, the chain between the two kept ringing, as if they were playing music, the clear and crisp sound of collision made people's hearts uneasy.

Pei Yao thought hard, but the details were instantly magnified by the queen's explanation. She didn't understand, and kept asking.

She looked very serious like Chu Yuan again.

The author has something to say: Pei Yao: You forced me to do this.
