The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao made some arrangements to create the illusion that these nuns were frightened and were chased by bad guys and fell off the cliff.

She cleaned up all traces of their escape, hoping that the girls would get what they wanted, and then took advantage of darkness to enter the Buddhist temple that Pingxi Hou had visited.

There are carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes in the main hall, and the pillars on the eaves are exquisitely depicted with various Buddha statues and Buddhist stories.

The various Vajras inside all had solemn appearances, some glaring, some smiling compassionately. Xu Yao felt a little uncomfortable after entering.

She avoided these gazes and walked all the way to the place where Pingxi Hou once stood. She carefully thought about the sound she heard, imitated Pingxi Hou's footsteps, and then touched a Buddha statue.

It was a small Buddhist doll, and no one knew what its function was. Anyway, Xu Yao didn't recognize it, so he just turned it according to Pingxi Hou's movements.

The huge Subduing Tiger King in front of him suddenly moved, and a door appeared in front of him.

But Xu Yao was not happy because the door was locked.

I can't get in at all.

Moreover, the door was very unusual. Xu Yao leaned over the door and took a look. If it was an ordinary lock, she could still pry it open, but this design was obviously a complicated mechanism. She somehow remembered the glass key that Bai Lingzhi had asked her to steal. Could there be any connection between the two?

She smiled, but felt that it was not right. How could the key that the Emperor of the Great Zhou cared about possibly open the lock of the Beichen Temple?

She should find a way to get the key first.

Xu Yao couldn't get in and could only leave Bailong Temple with regret.

When he returned to the courtyard, he received the news sent by Liu Tong.

Liang Hongwen imprisoned Pei Yi, and news spread from the Pingxi Marquis's mansion that Liang Hongwen wanted to take her as a concubine.

When Pei Shuo heard the news, he flipped the table in anger, "How dare he!"

She was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, his biological sister, and the most honorable lady in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if the prince wanted to marry her, he had to be very careful to please her.

Who the hell is this Liang guy now? He actually dared to force his sister to be his concubine.

Pei Shuo could not hide his anger. He just wanted to cut Pei Yi into pieces. He wanted to rush to Pingxi Marquis' Mansion right now and bring his sister out.

Xu Yao poured him a glass of water to calm him down.

"You just finished practicing, don't get too angry, be careful not to overthink and go crazy."

Pei Shuo was soothed by her calm voice. After drinking several glasses of water, his emotions gradually calmed down.

After recovering from the shock, he looked at Xu Yao and said, "Master, there is a trap here."

Xu Yao nodded. "Very good, you haven't completely lost your mind. I think the Liang family may know your sister's true identity. Do you think this matter is a bit too coincidental?"

It would have been better to marry her earlier or later. As soon as they showed some signs of it, he was anxious to marry Pei Yi as his concubine.

Xu Yao felt that Pei Yi was indeed beautiful, but even if it was love at first sight, how long had Liang Hongwen been with her?

It's only been half a month, how come it has come to the point where he wants to take a concubine by force and with great fanfare?

Something must be fishy when things are out of the ordinary. The more Xu Yao thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy going on. He asked Pei Shuo curiously, "Are all the sons of your noble families so casual about taking concubines?"

Pei Shuo coughed uncomfortably, "Master, that's not what I meant. If Liang Hongwen was a playboy, he would have been used to being romantic and doing ridiculous things. Not to mention taking a concubine today, he could have taken a concubine for several days in a row. But Zhuang Mu told me that Liang Hongwen has been learning literature and martial arts since he was a child. He is proficient in both literature and martial arts. In this Panjing City, he is considered a dragon among men.

Although he is handsome, he has no concubines around him, and he doesn't even have a maid in his house. How could such a man suddenly take a concubine in such a big way?"

It’s not that Pei Shuo looked down on his sister, it’s just that Liang Hongwen’s behavior was too abnormal.

A man like him should be good at weighing the pros and cons. He has not even married his first wife yet, but he is taking a concubine with such fanfare. Isn't he afraid that his future wife will be upset if she finds out?

How could a rational person suddenly become crazy for no apparent reason?

Pei Shuo felt something was wrong, and Xu Yao also felt something was wrong.

She continued to force Pei Shuo to practice martial arts while she went out to gather information.

She was sure that the number of armored guards in the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion had not decreased. Instead, they were on duty in shifts and were dressed as ordinary guards.

Xu Yao knew that these people were probably fishing.

"fishing?"

"It's just to lure you into a trap. They have set up a trap, loose on the outside but tight on the inside, waiting for us to jump into it."

"Marquis Pingxi knows my sister's identity, but he still planned this. Could it be that he knows that I am also in Panjing?"

If there is still someone who cares about Pei Yi's safety and can't wait to rescue her at this time, the most likely person is Pei Shuo.

But Xu Yao didn't understand how they found out and how they were sure that the person who came was Pei Shuo.

Zhao Xi told her in her heart that if Pingxi Hou was really the leader of Yuanqing Sect, it would not be difficult for him to investigate this matter.

Pei Shuo: "If I disappear in the Great Zhou, the officials will first report to the government office, and then they will pass the news back to the capital, and the Third Prince will know. He must be uneasy if he didn't kill me, and he will definitely send people to find out the news. Although Yuan Qingzong's spies have been greatly reduced in the Great Zhou, I believe they still have spies in secret. In this case, it may not be difficult to find out whether I have come here."

Xu Yao realized that they had appeared in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion twice and left their traces exposed.

Perhaps something went wrong, which led them to infer that Pei Shuo also appeared in Panjing.

Forcing Pei Yi to marry him might be a test.

If Pei Shuo went out to rescue others in order to save his sister, he would be fooled. If he did not show up, Liang Hongwen would just take a concubine, which would not have much impact on him.

If a man wants to marry, he can send this concubine away.

To a man, a concubine is nothing more than a romantic affair. What's the big deal about getting rid of her?

Thinking of his precious sister being treated like this, Pei Shuo was furious and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Yao.

Xu Yao was a little frightened by his gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Pei Shuo turned his head away uncomfortably, "Nothing, Master, what should we do next?"

Pei Shuo did not dare to say that they had treated Xu Yao like this before. At that time, she was still a fire-making girl in the Liu family. Now they were living in different places and they had become slaves at the mercy of others. It turned out that this state of being manipulated and disrespected was so uncomfortable and depressing.

Pei Shuo felt a dull pain in his heart, feeling sorry for both his sister and Xu Yao.

This emotion was complex and unfamiliar. He used to feel so sorry for Liu Moyan.

Pei Shuo couldn't say anything and had to change the subject. Xu Yao thought about it and said to him, "I'm more afraid that they will attack your father and your sister at the same time."
