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

Xu Yao told him to shut up, otherwise he would be castrated.

Xu Sheng smiled and didn't get angry. He found a corner and sat down.

Xu Yao closed his eyes and leaned against the wall to rest. Not long after, Pei Shuo came back.

The wind outside was still very strong. He walked to Xu Yao and covered her with a thin blanket, fearing that Xu Yao would be cold.

Xu Yao sensed what he had done but did not stop him. She was indeed sleepy, and she slept peacefully with Pei Shuo by her side.

But when he woke up the next morning, he found that one of Xu Sheng's eyes seemed to have been hit, and he didn't dare to say a word when he saw Xu Yao.

Seeing him like this, Xu Yao knew that Pei Shuo had dealt with him last night. She couldn't help but look outside and saw Pei Shuo feeding the horse. She knew that he was venting his anger for her and couldn't help but smile.

While Xu Sheng was squatting in the corner, Xu Yao pulled Pei Shuo and whispered to him, "You were too harsh. This man is still useful if he's alive. Don't kill him or maim him. He just said something mean, and he didn't do anything to let me down. Really, you should believe me on this."

Pei Shuo certainly believed it, but that didn't stop him from getting angry. However, in front of Xu Yao, he acted gentle and obedient, "I understand, Master."

Pei Shuo prepared some food for Xu Yao, which was hot porridge with dried meat. Xu Sheng only got a dry steamed bun, and he dared not say anything but feel angry.

After breakfast, they set off for Da Zhou.

After a night of wind, Xu Yao felt that the road seemed to have changed a little.

If the temple had not still stood here, Xu Yao would have thought he had gone in the wrong direction.

She asked Pei Shuo nervously: "Do you know the way?"

She hadn't been in this place for five years and really didn't know the direction of the road.

Pei Shuo told her not to worry, he had already made arrangements, and they would reach Guiyan City in another two hours, where someone would pick them up.

Zhuang Mu's business network has expanded greatly in recent years, and Da Zhou has naturally developed business. It can be said that Zhuang Mu today is only stronger than Bai Lingzhi was back then.

Speaking of business, Xu Yao couldn't help but think of Bai Lingzhi, and quietly asked Pei Shuo, how is Bai Lingzhi now?

Pei Shuo looked indifferent and said that he had now got what he wanted.

Xu Yao felt that there was irony in his words and asked him what was wrong.

"My cousin had a hard time in the Bai family. For the sake of his mother and to survive, he had no choice but to fight for power in the Bai family. Unfortunately, the brothers of the Bai family were not easy to mess with. Not to mention that all of them were stronger than him, but there were always one or two who could suppress him. His father was a businessman who was only interested in profit and only valued ability. So in order to seize the position of the head of the family, Bai Lingzhi secretly cooperated with the third prince. The third prince promised him that as long as he could deal with my family, he would support him and let him become the head of the Bai family."

Pei Shuo looked very calm when he said this.

"You also know what happened later. When our family got into trouble, he took the opportunity to become the imperial merchant and completely controlled the power of the Bai family. He was also cruel. He took advantage of his father's illness to separate all the brothers and drive them out of the Bai family. He suppressed them so that they could never return to the Bai family's ancestral home. It's a pity that he was courting death. People like the third prince wanted more than just a little bit."

Xu Yao understood what this meant. Even if Bai Lingzhi got the position of the head of the Bai family, he would just be walking on a tightrope on a cliff, and his life would not be much easier.

In recent years, Bai Lingzhi has been the blood bag in the hands of the third prince. You see, his business is big, but most of the money goes into the hands of the third prince.

When the Third Prince ascended the throne, there were too many things to do. He had to win over court officials and fill the empty treasury. Since he had no money, he could only think of various ways. The best way was to use Bai Lingzhi to make money.

Bai Lingzhi was quite capable, and initially he had obtained a lot of money for him. The Third Prince had money, and when he first ascended the throne, the entire Great Zhou was peaceful. But later...

Pei Shuo paused.

"What happened next?"

Pei Shuo smiled, "It was in the past two years that he started having nightmares. Maybe he did too many bad things. He dreamed of his dead father, brother, and former queen."

Not long after the death of the late emperor, the late queen fell ill and died due to missing the late emperor too much.

In fact, the information Pei Shuo found out was that the queen was starved to death by the third prince's mother.

The two fought for a lifetime, and the third prince succeeded in ascending to the throne, using extremely vicious means.

Not long after the queen's death, the second prince, who was imprisoned by him, also fell into a pond and drowned after drinking.

In such a short period of time, his father, mother, empress, and brother all died, and yet no evidence was left. Who would believe that there was nothing strange?

But believe it or not, others have no evidence to prove anything. Anyone who dares to spread rumors and gossip will be arrested. Those who slander the emperor will have their heads chopped off.

The imperial court arrested a few people, beat them severely and confiscated their homes, and no one dared to spread gossip anymore.

On the surface, life seemed peaceful, but since last year, the emperor had frequent nightmares. He dreamed of his dead queen, the late emperor, and even his brother coming to claim his life.

In desperation, the emperor tried all kinds of medical treatments and believed the alchemist's advice and actually started taking elixirs.

After a while, people start to become a little abnormal.

Xu Yao thought about it and found it quite scary. If a person did something wrong, how many of them could feel 100% guilt-free?

Even she was once the same person who had killed countless people in the apocalypse. Sometimes when she woke up from her dreams at midnight, she would still feel tired and scared.

She had also read apocalyptic literature before. Those people in the apocalyptic world went from fear to strength and killed countless people. They seemed to be having a great time and were extremely arrogant. But Xu Yao was a real person. As a human being, he would have fear, charity, and compassion.

So I will have nightmares at night and feel uneasy.

Mentally it is tortured.

This is also the reason why Xu Yao felt that it would be nice to lie down after coming to this world. In fact, if nothing had happened to the Liu family at that time, she would have left the Liu family two years ago to find a stable place, run a shop, earn money to support herself, and live a simple and peaceful life.

She is not a born pervert who likes killing so much.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao couldn't help but recall the words of the Immortal of the South China Sea.

He said Pei Shuo was wavering between good and evil. Xu Yao suddenly asked Pei Shuo, "What do you want to do after you succeed in your revenge?"

Pei Shuo was slightly stunned, wondering: "Why does Master ask this?"

Xu Yao said: "Revenge is important, but you can't spend your whole life seeking revenge. After you have taken revenge and found your father and sister, you still have your own life to live, and there are still decades to come. Now that you have taken revenge, do you have no other goals in life?"

Xu Yao looked at him nervously, trying to find some unusual clues on his face, but was afraid of seeing something.

This is the mentality of a mother, who is afraid that her child will go astray.

Pei Shuo smiled, as if he could see through Xu Yao's thoughts, which made Xu Yao's heart beat fast and she was a little afraid to look him in the face.

"Master, what are you worried about? Are you worried that I've been blinded by hatred and will do whatever it takes to get revenge, even taking human lives?"
