The silent silence, like a barrier, enveloped the two of them, and no one could disturb what they did or said.

Pei Yao got into a blind spot until the queen mother struggled to push her away from her arms.

The queen mother's face was reddish, she looked at her quietly, and her breathing was slightly rapid, while Pei Yao remained calm, and rubbed the queen mother's face with her fingers.

The queen mother did not move, she raised her eyes slightly to stare at the bold and presumptuous person in front of her, the color of her eyes gradually became warm at night, she suddenly smiled.

"Empress, you should read a few more scriptures with this posture. Remember to ask Jing An to read more scriptures for you when you have time, so as to purify your heart and stop being so lustful."

The Queen Mother's words sounded a bit heartless at first, but Pei Yao felt a little warmth, she suddenly leaned over, kissed the Queen Mother's side cheek, and then hid in her bed.

The queen mother still smiled, "One life, just one kiss?"

"No more." Pei Yao replied sullenly while hiding under the quilt.

The queen mother stared at the quilt protruding from the inside: "Pei Yao, you should kill the person who wants to put you to death."

Pei Yao said, "I promise Bodhisattva that I will not kill anyone."

The queen mother laughed, "You promised the Bodhisattva not to touch women, how come you kiss and kiss Aijia when you see Aijia."

"I promised Bodhisattva that I will not touch men." Pei Yao said timidly.

****

The snow fell all night, and stopped when she got up early. Ruoxiang stood at the door stomping her feet to keep warm, and Fulu stuffed her with a hand stove, "Your master is still awake?"

"No." Ruoxiang touched the warm stove and smiled gratefully at Fulu.The empress is inherently slack, she doesn't get up early for no big things, she has a good temper, and she doesn't put on airs.

Fulu leaned in front of her, "The empress seems to like our master very much."

Ruoxiang's complexion changed, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "This is the master's business."

Fulu is not good to ask again.

After waiting for a while, there was movement inside, Ruoxiang pushed open the hall door and entered.

Half an hour later, Pei Yao walked out of the bedroom wearing warm clothes, "It's snowing heavily, Ruoxiang, let's go back and have a snowball fight."

Ruoxiang smiled, followed the Queen's footsteps, and walked forward cheerfully.

After the master and servant returned to the Jiaofang Hall, they saw a courtier in official robes.

Pei Yao blinked, and the other party came slowly and bowed to her, "I have seen the Empress, I am Shen Hui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

"It was Shen Shaoqing, please in the hall." Pei Yao signaled Shen Hui to enter the hall.

Shen Hui followed the queen into the palace, and then sat down. He opened the booklet in his hand and reported to the queen: "There were originally 31 people in the nunnery, but now there are 25 infected people. Five of them went down the mountain and just returned yesterday. There is one more. , died of illness yesterday. Among them, Mrs. Jing’an was the first to get sick. I went to see my wife this morning, and she said that you gave her a box of snacks and she ate them."

"Snacks? Bengong never gave her any snacks." Pei Yao panicked, she would never harm her master.

Shen Hui continued: "I asked about the dim sum. It was indeed something from the palace. It was her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. She was grateful for the empress' kindness and ate it by herself. Three or five days after eating, she fell ill. Here Before, she helped a deceased person to save his soul, and I also dug up the coffin, and the deceased showed no signs of illness. In addition, the doctor who gave the deceased a pulse was frozen to death in the mountains last night."

Pei Yao gasped, two people's lives were implicated in a simple sentence, should she take the blame for this?

"I want to ask my mother where is the person who brought refreshments to Mrs. Jing'an, please let her come out and meet with me." Shen Hui asked.

"I just said that I didn't give Mrs. Jing'an any snacks, so I can't hand them over." Pei Yao refused.

Shen Hui stood up, handed Master Jing'an's confession to the empress, and said in a low voice: "Master Jing'an said that she had seen that servant in the central palace, and I also had a portrait drawn."

After speaking, he took out another piece of drawing paper from the book on one side and handed it to Pei Yao.

Pei Yao was amazed that so many things were found out in one night, and the person in front of her was really quick in doing things.

Pei Yao opened the portrait, she frowned and looked at it for a long time, she really didn't recognize it, so she called Qingzhu Ruoxiang to identify it.

Ruoxiang didn't recognize it, Qingzhu recognized it for a long time before saying: "This is the servant Wang Lai who sweeps the east side hall. He has been serving in the side hall. When Master Jing'an came to stay for a while, he lived in the east side hall."

Shen Hui said to Qing Zhu: "Please, Miss, find him and let me bring him back to Dali Temple."

Qingzhu's expression was not good, she didn't refuse, she leaned over and retreated to find someone.

Pei Yao's eyelids twitched twice, and her eyes fell on Shen Hui's icy face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, finally there is someone colder than the Queen Mother.

Look at this whole-body demeanor, it's like walking on ice, and it's almost covered with another layer of snow.

Qingzhu came back soon, and there was no one behind her. She saluted the queen, and then said to Shen Hui: "I can't find it. I sent someone to look for it in the palace. I will invite you after I find it."

Shen Hui nodded and bowed to the queen, "Since this is the case, I will go back to Dali Temple first. If there is any situation, the empress will send someone to inform me."

Pei Yao was sent off, sitting alone in the hall thinking hard, she suddenly thought of Mrs. Li.

Among the late emperor's concubines, only Mrs. Li has the ability to do so many things.

She asked Ruoxiang, "Where is Mrs. Li, the late emperor's wife?"

"Did you say it's Concubine Li? She's in the imperial mausoleum and hasn't come back yet, and the eldest prince is with her." Ruoxiang explained.

The queen mother appointed the second prince as the empress, but the eldest prince never came back, and even missed the enthronement ceremony.

Pei Yao held her chin, "Who do you think bribed Wang Lai to harm me?"

"You don't need to be afraid, there is a queen mother." Ruoxiang comforted, these are just tricks, as long as the queen mother nods, these problems will naturally be solved.

Pei Yao shook her head, "I didn't do it, so I shouldn't be talked about, let's go to Wang Lai's residence, you lead the way."

Ruoxiang couldn't persuade her, so she went to meet the queen.

After Shen Hui came out of the Central Palace, he went to the Xuanshi Palace to report to the Empress Dowager, and explained everything in the Central Palace.

"Wang Lai is dead." The Empress Dowager said calmly, this morning the Imperial Forest Army came to report that they saw the body of a servant in a pool.

Someone recognized Wang Lai from the east side hall of the central palace. Wang Lai still had pinch marks on his neck. He was strangled to death and then thrown into the pool.

When the snow stopped yesterday, the body was exposed.

Shen Hui understood, "I want to search for Wang Lai's residence."

"No, that's the queen's place. If you have the ability, go to other places to check it yourself. Don't smear the queen. The Ai family is looking for you to clear the queen's suspicion, not to make you trouble the queen. If you fail, the Ai family will change to another People. Your superiors are waiting for you to let go." The queen mother was impatient.

Shen Hui never thought that his words would cause such great resistance from the empress dowager, he hurriedly apologized and said: "I understand that I will not disturb the queen anymore. But I want to go to Pei's house."

"Go to Pei's house, you're very smart, Ai's family thought you would look for Concubine Li like a fool." The queen mother rummaged through the files and found Pei Sui's letter of appointment to lead [-] troops to Jingzhou, and finally handed it to Shen Hui: "By the way, give this to Pei Sui."

Shen Hui bent over to take it, lowered his eyes for a look, then leaned over and backed out.

The queen mother sitting in the hall fell silent, her eyes were deep, and she looked at the emperor on one side, "Emperor, do you think your aunt is the one who cruelly killed Master?"

The little emperor trembled all over. Facing the queen mother's temptation, she chose to tell the truth, "Although the queen does things differently, she is a kind-hearted person."

But the queen mother said: "Queen, deviant."

The little emperor remained silent after hearing this. What is deviant? In his own perception, being deviant means doing things above the world.She couldn't help thinking, did the queen do something above the world?

She thought of those familiar feet last night...

The first emperor did many absurd things during his reign, one of which was to give his aunt a woman.And more than once, the queen mother accepted a Hu girl.

It can be seen that the Queen Mother likes women. Could it be that the person in the Queen Mother's arms last night was really the Queen Mother?

The little emperor frowned, and pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth to suppress his trembling.But the Queen Mother didn't care about her expression, she set her sights on the copybook.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager asked the emperor again slowly: "Your Majesty's throne was taken from the First Prince. If the First Prince puts His Majesty to death, what will Your Majesty do?"

"Zhen will kill him." The emperor came back to his senses and said a very calm word, he must live.

"So, the queen's fault is that she didn't kill her." The queen mother said thoughtfully.

If the last emperor had been replaced by his family members or an unknown person for 17 years, he would have drawn his sword and killed people long ago.

The queen is still tender.

The Empress Dowager looked out of the hall with a cold face and indifferent eyes. Her expression was no longer cold or solemn, but with a touch of compassion.

What the queen lacks is decisiveness.Damn Bodhisattva, bad mind.

The emperor on one side stared blankly at the empress dowager with a frozen expression. Her heart was in a mess. The more the empress dowager valued the empress, the more accurate her guess was.She likes the queen, respects the queen, and does not want the queen to be defiled.

The queen is kind and should have her own life.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt that he was thinking wildly again. The empress is the wife of the first emperor and the empress dowager tomorrow, and the court is her life's destination.

The queen has no freedom to speak of.The emperor clenched his fists, feeling grief and indignation in his heart, and looked at the queen mother: "Madam queen mother, I can share the queen's worries."

"Your Majesty does not need to worry about the Queen's affairs. If you have time, you might as well take a look at the memorials on the case. If you have your own ideas, you can write them down. If you don't believe in Aijia, you can also ask the Prime Minister. Li Puyu, what is in front of you It is a country, not a woman." The queen mother warned.

The little emperor was shocked, is the queen mother threatening herself?The emperor looked into the Empress Dowager's eyes, trying to find a flaw in her eyes.

However, to her surprise, the queen mother was very quiet, as if it really came from her heart.

The emperor was silent for a while, and after a long time, she pursed her lips, stood up and bowed to the queen mother, "I understand."

"What does Your Majesty understand? You understand that you are a woman, and that your mother made you dress up as a man from birth to protect you? Or are you just waiting for the eldest prince to kill you and drag you down from the throne?"

The Queen Mother chuckled, her tone as cold and slow as ever.

The emperor froze in saluting with both hands, his heart beating loudly, he slowly retracted his hands, and knelt down in front of the empress dowager, "The empress dowager stood me up, I guess I have your plan."

"The Ai family wants to know if a woman is the emperor, will the ancestors of the big man be angry?" The queen mother lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on the scar on her wrist, hiding the loneliness and hesitation in her eyes.

She wanted to tell those men that she wanted to repeat the demise of Qi State a hundred years later.

The emperor was at a loss, his face turned pale, and the corner of the empress dowager's lips slowly curved into a thin arc, she stood up and walked in front of her, "As you can imagine, the empress is a woman who mourns her family."

The emperor stared at the queen mother with wide eyes, what does she mean, what does the queen be her woman.

The queen is the queen of the first emperor, and the queen mother is the first mother of the first emperor. What does the queen mother mean?

The Queen Mother is crazy.

Looking at the faint smile on the corners of the Empress Dowager's lips, the sourness in the emperor's heart overwhelmed the fear, and a layer of mist slowly formed in his eyes.

"The queen is her own, not anyone else's."

The queen mother slowly raised the emperor's chin, looked at the young emperor in front of her, and said in the most peaceful tone: "The queen is mourning the family, what strength do you think you have to say this, what ability do you have to say this , the mud bodhisattva crosses the river and cannot protect himself, if you mourn your family, you will be ruined."

The little emperor was too young, and when he came to the throne, he was anxious and anxious. He regarded the central palace as his refuge and the 17-year-old queen as his relatives.At this moment, she felt that the queen was being abused by the queen mother, and the god in her heart was being blasphemed. She gritted her teeth, her cheeks were swollen tightly, but she still had to endure it.

The Queen Mother looked at her calmly.

Pei Yao belonged to Li Lexi, just like Li Lexi belonged to the last emperor Chu Yuan.

No one can covet.

The emperor bit his cheek sorely, looking at the empress dowager's indifferent eyes, at this moment, she had a heart of resistance, "Empress dowager, you betrayed His Majesty Huiming, and also made the first emperor look bad."

"Really? The Ai family has done too many things. I don't know which one His Majesty is referring to. This emperor, if you want to do it, do it, and if you don't do it, get out." The queen mother was too lazy to argue the truth with the child.

The emperor tightly pursed the corners of his lips, not daring to say a word or breathe.

The queen mother finally showed her greedy side, however, it was a scene she couldn't resist.

The emperor finally cried, not for himself, not for himself, who had just taken over the Han Dynasty in January, but for the empress who was ruined by the empress dowager.

After one month, she knew about the Great Han Dynasty, and all of them were in the hands of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was supreme, and her father was greedy for pleasure, so he also sent the power to the Queen Mother again.

She can't do anything.

The little emperor cried bitterly, but the queen mother had no mercy, and even thought that the emperor's cry was really ugly.

The Last Emperor never cried, neither did Pei Yao, the person she liked had a much stronger temper, the day the knife was inserted into his heart, the Last Emperor didn't even cry.

The Empress Dowager hated the crying for no reason, so she lifted her foot and left the Xuanshi Hall.

The outside of the palace was quiet as usual, but the palace people with sharp ears could hear the crying inside, and when they saw the figure of the queen mother again, they lowered their heads very low, wishing they could shrink into their necks.

At this moment, the queen mother pursed her lips, wanting to eat candy.

The desire is very urgent, but she has already eaten all the candy, and the little queen is so stingy that she can't find another person to take advantage of her, but she refuses to give the candy.

The queen mother walked slowly outside the Jiaofang hall by herself, and glanced inside the door, but there was no one there.

She pondered for a moment, then walked in slowly.

Not only was there no one at the palace gate, but there was also no one on the road leading to the bedroom from the palace gate.

The snow scene in winter is also a good scene. The Empress Dowager walked slowly to the Queen's bedroom, and finally met a few little ladies outside the gate of the palace.

Seeing the Queen Mother, the little maids were so frightened that they knelt down to pay their respects, "I have seen the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother ignored her and continued to walk into Pei Yao's bedroom slowly.

Originally, she came to ask for sweets, but the queen was not here, so she could only reluctantly come to find sweets.

After entering the palace, she first looked under the queen's pillow and found a box of candies. She opened it gently, and there were only two pieces.

Not enough to eat.

The Empress Dowager continued to walk around, and only glanced at a few places, sitting by the couch, on the dressing table, and finally found a small box on the copybook for reading. After opening, there were many oiled paper bags inside.

The Empress Dowager packed away the sugar wrapped in oiled paper, leaving both the oiled paper bag and the box far away.

Go back to Changle Hall and eat slowly.

When the Queen Mother slowly walked back to Changle Hall, Ruoyun had been waiting for a long time, she raised her feet to meet the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother made it easy for servants to find them."

Easy to find?The Queen Mother didn't say a word. To be a thief must be sneaky.

"I found a letter on Wang Lai's body, which said that the queen sent someone to kill him."

"After soaking in the water for so long, you can still see the handwriting clearly? Also, is Wang Lai literate? Ai Jia remembers that when he asked you to arrange the palace servants, he said that no one who is not close to the queen is not allowed to read."

"You're right. The queen was originally inseparable from the suspicion, but this letter cleared the queen. Wang Lai is not literate at all. This is clearly setting the blame. The servant girl found out that Wang Lai's family moved out, and the neighbors Said to have made a fortune. The servant was more thoughtful, so I asked someone to check it, do you know what the servant found?" Ruoyun smiled lightly, and let it go happily.

The queen mother didn't take it seriously, and guessed according to her meaning, "Have you found the Pei family?"

Ruoyun asked: "Your Majesty is really good at predicting things, but the servant did not startle the snake, and let people stare at him all the way. Do you think you should wait for General Pei to come back or arrest him now?"

"Take the person directly, and who is the master, and take them together, send them to Dali Temple, let Shen Hui reward you with a whip, and say that the Ai family will reward you extra." The queen mother finally sat down, and couldn't wait to pick an orange. Put sugar in your mouth.

The orange candy melted in the mouth, which was different from the national teacher's. The queen mother counted more than a dozen, which was counted as the little queen's thank you gift.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was eating comfortably, Ruoyun boldly said: "My maidservant can do it too, if you like it, can my maidservant cook it for you?"

"You don't need to do it." The Queen Mother said critically.

Ruoyun didn't dare to ask any more questions, and leaned over to leave the hall, and asked someone to take the evidence to Dali Temple to proclaim the decree, and ordered them to be arrested.

When she returned to the palace, the queen mother stared at the empty candy box in a daze, finished eating?

****

People from Dali Temple knocked on the door of Marquis Zhongyi, and Shen Hui put his hands behind his back with a heavy expression.

After knocking several times, the door finally opened, and Pei Ze stood behind the door with a weak face.He was wearing a heavy cloak, and he seemed to be overwhelmed.

The people in Dali Temple didn't dare to approach, and chose to turn around and walk in front of Shen Hui, who would dare to touch him.

If they fall down at the first touch, their guilt will be great.

As for Shen Hui, he walked over and saluted Pei Ze, "Xiaguan, Shen Hui, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, met Lord Zhongyi."

"Why did Shen Shaoqing knock on the door?" Pei Ze's complexion was not good, and when he spoke, he clenched his fists against his mouth, as if he would be out of breath the next moment.

Shen Hui smiled, this person is really good at pretending, he said without changing his face: "I am here to invite Pei Min, the adopted daughter of the Pei family, to Dali Temple to have a word."

"Why?" Pei Ze's expression changed.

Shen Hui refused to say, "When did the person in charge of Dali Temple say anything? I will make it clear when I go. Lord Hou is so weak, why don't you take a good rest and send him back after asking. You can also continue Standing at the door, you know the queen mother's temper, don't think that you can be defiant when the general is around. You know what the Pei family is doing, so you don't need to say detailed words."

Pei Ze got angry, took a step forward, stepped over the threshold, and approached Shen Hui, but Shen Hui stepped back three steps, "Lord Zhongyi, don't get close to this official, this official doesn't want to touch you."

While speaking, he gestured to his subordinates: enter the mansion, take people.

The next moment, more than a dozen people standing at the door swarmed in, Pei Ze shouted angrily, but Shen Hui said: "Marquis Zhongyi, please don't faint, the lower officials cannot take responsibility."

Pei Ze was trembling with anger, "I want to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother."

"Please." Shen Hui smiled and gave way to the road in front of him, making a gesture of please.

Pei Ze was discouraged, and glared at Shen Hui angrily, "This matter can't be resolved, I will definitely have an explanation with Dali Temple."

Shen Hui stood up straight, raised his hand to straighten his official robe, and said chicly: "The next official is waiting for Lord Hou."

****

The candy made by Pei Yao disappeared. After looking for it, there was nothing there. She couldn't find it. She suspected that it was a thief.

When making sugar again, put some spirits in each piece of sugar, and cover up the smell of wine with the fragrance of flowers, make a full box and put it on the desk.

After the sugar was ready, Mrs. Zhao asked to see the queen.

Pei Yao was startled, "Who is the old lady of the Zhao family?"

Qingzhu looked at the confused queen and sighed, kindly reminded: "That's your grandmother."

Pei Yao felt annoyed, so she took a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. It tasted a bit strange because of the wine-flavored candy, but she still ate two pieces, "Tell her to go to the warm pavilion, don't freeze."

The elderly come first, and she cannot bully the elderly.

Pei Yao had just left for a while, and the candy on the copybook disappeared.

Halfway through the walk, she remembered that she didn't bring her sachet, so she turned around to get it.

After entering the dormitory, his eyes subconsciously fell on the copybook, and the sugar box was gone.

Who dares to steal her candy?

Pei Yao curled her lips and told Qing Zhu: "Ask the old lady what's the matter, if you can, go back first, I will go back as soon as I go."

It's fine to steal once, and steal twice, shameless!

Pei Yao angrily rushed to the Hall of Changle to settle accounts, and it was unimpeded. As soon as she entered, she saw her own candy box, and the Queen Mother ate slowly.

Pei Yao was angry, "A thief."

"Is it possible that the Ai family is in power in the whole world, even the queen is the Ai family." The queen mother picked up a piece of plum blossom sugar, and it seemed that she could smell the wine, and the queen's cooking skills had improved.

Pei Yao was extremely helpless, she could no longer be polite, so she sat directly beside the queen mother, "Don't look for me when you're drunk, I've put strong alcohol in."

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and gave her a good look, "Why did you let the wine go?"

"If you steal my candy, you should get drunk." Pei Yao said confidently.

The Empress Dowager felt relieved that being a thief is not good, and imitated Pei Yao's straightforward tone and said: "The Empress makes a box of candies for Aijia, and she wants orange candies, crisp ones."

After speaking, I ate another piece.

Pei Yao didn't speak for a long while, she stared straight at her, thinking about her curse words, but when she raised her head, she froze.

Queen Mother's pink bubbles turned red.

The author has something to say: Pei Yao: My eyes are blurred, tell me quickly, is that true?

Plus or not?If the nutrient solution exceeds 6000, add [-] words.

Uncle Huang is very confident.
