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

Bai Lingzhi collapsed in despair because of his words. He stared at Pei Shuo and made strange breathing sounds in his throat. He wanted to refute, but his whole body seemed to have suddenly lost all strength and he could not refute anything.

Pei Shuo smiled at him, his eyes full of mockery. "You chose to trust him, be loyal to him, and give him everything, but when he decided your life or death, he was not even sober. With just one word from him, everything you fought for turned into nothing. Your mother was pissed to death, and everything you cared about was taken away by him. Do you think that if I had been loyal to him like you, would there have been a different ending?"

"No, that's not the case."

"What's that like?"

Pei Shuo squatted down and stared into his eyes, still smiling. His smile frightened Bai Lingzhi: "It was you who framed me and designed me to end up like this, right?"

"It seems that you still trust your emperor very much, but you are so loyal to him, why didn't he give you a chance to refute?"

Only a few days had passed from the accident to his imprisonment. Did the emperor remember all that Bai Lingzhi had done for him in the past, or care about the relationship between them as monarch and subject?

"Ah, I forgot that you are not his subject, you are just his dog, you are not even as good as a eunuch who washes his feet."

"Shut up!" Bai Lingzhi roared, stood up and grabbed his neck.

Pei Shuo kicked him away and flicked the dust off his body.

Bai Lingzhi was devastated and couldn't help but shed tears.

"None of this is what I wanted. I just wanted to survive. I wanted my mother to survive. I wanted to take back everything that belongs to me. Is that wrong? Tell me what's wrong?"

Pei Shuo looked down at him and said, "Of course it's not wrong for you to want to live, so it's not wrong for me to want to live and seek revenge, right, cousin? As brothers, I will personally send you off. This will prevent you from being spurned by everyone and suffering the pain of beheading on the execution ground tomorrow. This is my last bit of charity for you."

Pei Shuo glanced at the food box on the table. Bai Lingzhi understood what he meant and knew that the situation was hopeless and any further struggle would be futile.

He couldn't understand what Pei Shuo had been through to be able to come back in such a state and easily control his life and death.

He suddenly said, "Your Majesty's taking of the elixir was your doing, wasn't it?"

If not for this, if not for those evil elixirs, how could the emperor become crazy and out of control?

If Your Majesty still has any sanity left, you must not do such stupid things and cut off your own arms yourself. This is a completely foolish act.

Pei Shuo thought about it and answered him: "This is not something I can do alone."

Is this an admission? But it is not a complete admission.

This is telling Bai Lingzhi that there are many people who want the emperor dead.

Many people joined forces to carry out such a conspiracy.

The last bit of hope in Bai Lingzhi's heart completely disappeared. He rushed over and grabbed Pei Shuo's feet to stop him from leaving. He begged him humbly, "I know I deserve death. I know I have let my aunt down. This is all my sin. I am willing to die to atone for my sins, but my wife and children are innocent. Can you spare their lives for the sake of our brotherhood?"

Pei Shuo turned around and asked: "Did my elder sister ever beg you like this before?"

Bai Lingzhi paused, his eyes evasive: "After your family's accident, I haven't seen any members of the Pei family since then."

He was afraid to face the Pei family's questioning.

Pei Shuo sneered: "Why should I let them go? There is no affection between you and me."

"I have a secret, a secret that even Your Majesty doesn't know, and I can trade it with you. You will definitely want to get it."

"What is it?"

"Do you still remember the glass key that fell from the Second Prince?"

Pei Shuo turned around and looked at him puzzledly.

"The Third Prince only knows that the late emperor wanted to find the key, but he doesn't know what the real secret of the key is. I also went through a lot of hardships to find a clue. I can give you the key, and I can also give you the secret of the key. I only ask you to spare the lives of my wife and children."

Pei Shuo hesitated for a moment and agreed. "Okay, as long as what you say is true, I will agree to it."

"It is absolutely true. The key is hidden in your mother's grave."

Pei Shuo looked at him incredulously. Bai Lingzhi said anxiously, "It's safest to hide there. My aunt died and I bought a grave for her. Everyone knows that she died tragically and there won't be any rich burial objects. Everyone knows that the Bai family and the Pei family are irreconcilable and they will never do anything for her. So it's safest to hide there."

Pei Shuo suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked, "What is the secret of the key?"

"The imperial seal of the Yu Dynasty. That key is the key to unlock the dynasty's treasure. The real seal has been hidden in the dynasty's tomb."

Pei Shuo looked at him and sneered, "Do you think I can believe such unbelievable words?"

"It is absolutely true. I even found out where the tomb is. Unfortunately, my people have never been able to find the entrance to the tomb. I give you all this. Please spare the lives of my wife and children for the sake of the innocence of the child."

Pei Shuo looked at him deeply, walked out the door, and told him: "I can guarantee the life of your child, but your wife..."

He paused and sneered, "Even though she has a similar face to my elder sister, she is not even one ten-thousandth as good as her. Did you know that when your family was in trouble, she shouted that she had divorced you? In order to save her life, she even gave up her child and left the Bai family heartlessly. Perhaps you don't know that she has always had a lover, and that man is from the Wu family."

Pei Shuo's words were simply murderous.

When Bai Lingzhi learned about this, he laughed strangely. It turned out that all his schemes and calculations were just to serve as a dowry for others.

In the end, nothing belongs to him, even the children may not be his.

He had hatred in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and called out to Pei Shuo: "At least, my mother and I truly loved those two children. Take them away. Chen is not worthy of being their mother."

Pei Shuo was slightly surprised, not understanding why he would say such things when he knew that the two children were most likely not his.

How many men in this world can tolerate something like green hat?

Bai Lingzhi said bitterly: "If you have really raised a child, you will understand that parents love their children and invest a lot of emotions in them. It is not easy to give up on them with just a few words. I am not a good-for-nothing, but I really love those two children.

You only said that Chen had an affair, but what if those two children are mine? They are so similar to me, I am willing to take a gamble. Since I have revealed this secret, I will use it to protect their safety for the rest of their lives."

Pei Shuo nodded in agreement, and Bai Lingzhi calmly drank the poisoned wine. "A Shuo, I will go and apologize to my aunt after I die. I was the one who let the Pei family down for what happened back then."

After hearing this last sentence, Pei Shuo left without looking back.

As the drug took effect, Bai Lingzhi began to vomit blood and fell to the ground.

In a trance, he saw his mother and two lovely children waving at him.
