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

As night falls, the sky is filled with dark clouds. Neither stars nor the moon can be seen overhead.

But in Tai'an Temple, candles were lit, and the temple was unusually quiet.

Pei Shuo, wearing a black nightgown, quietly appeared in the Taoist temple.

Under a big pine tree, there are exquisite lanterns hanging.

There was a person standing there, seemingly waiting for something quietly.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the man turned around and it was Liu Moyan.

When she saw Pei Shuo, Liu Moyan's eyes suddenly became teary. She clenched her hands, her expression excited. She wanted to take two steps forward and hug him like before, but she pulled back.

She was unwilling to give in, but she endured it. Finally, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she slowly spoke, "A Shuo, long time no see."

The sound of Ah Shuo drifted in the wind, and when it reached Pei Shuo's ears, his response was a faint calm.

He was calm, with no hatred or love in his eyes. He just smiled gently at Liu Moyan: "Yanyan, long time no see."

When the former lovers meet again now, everything has changed.

Liu Moyan looked at Pei Shuo. He had grown taller, darker, and much more mature than before.

Pei Shuo looked at Liu Moyan. She no longer looked like the young girl she used to be. She exuded the aura of a refined, noble and mature woman.

He vaguely felt that after five years, the only person who hadn't changed was Xu Yao.

The way the master looked at him was as pure as before, with a hint of teasing and laziness, but also some concern and love.

Pei Shuo did not miss the guilt and regret in Liu Moyan's eyes, but he sighed in his heart and did not point out Liu Moyan's thoughts.

Liu Moyan smiled bitterly: "It's good to be alive."

God knows how much effort it took her to say this.

In the past few days, she sent people to search for Pei Shuo in the city. Ah Luo came back and said that he found nothing.

Just when Liu Moyan thought that it was an illusion, she received a note under her pillow.

Liu Moyan will never forget the handwriting on the note.

She had seen Pei Shuo's handwriting countless times, how could she forget it so easily?

Because of the handwriting, Liu Moyan still came in person even though he felt it might be dangerous.

Five years have passed, and her obsession is to see Pei Shuo again. She wants to say sorry for what happened back then, but when she really sees Pei Shuo, this sorry seems to be meaningless.

These three light words could not bring his mother back to life, nor could they make everything that had happened disappear.

She came back to life and went back to the past, trying to change and save something, but in the end it was all in vain.

Now they are all still alive, which may be the greatest gift from God.

"Have you been living well these years?" Liu Moyan asked him again, and then regretted it after asking. How could it be possible that he was living well, with his family broken up and his loved ones displaced.

Pei Shuo smiled faintly and asked her how she could survive in the palace with such a personality.

The palace is a place where people are eaten, and few people can live well there.

Liu Moyan must have suffered a lot to be able to break through the siege in the harem and become the queen.

In the past, Pei Shuo would feel distressed, but now he would admire her courage.

But the heartache is gone.

He knew that this girl, whom he had wanted to protect all his life, no longer needed his love and care.

She is no longer his Yanyan, and he is no longer her Ashuo.

Liu Moyan seemed to understand, and chuckled. She looked at the shadow on the ground and said, "Are you back for revenge?"

This is not a question, it is an affirmation.

After going through so much trouble to return to the capital, what else could I do if not for revenge?

Pei Shuo: "I have found some evidence from the past, including how the emperor framed the second prince and the Pei family, causing my father to disappear at the border and be taken to Beichen. The Pei family's reputation was ruined, and the family was broken up. There is evidence of all these."

Liu Moyan shook her head and said, "Ah Shuo, five years have passed. Don't you understand that the important thing about the Pei family is never the evidence?"

This is not an ordinary legal issue, this is a power struggle.

The struggle for power is a test of strength and means. It has nothing to do with morality or law and justice.

This is not within the scope of the law, it's just that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Pei Shuo sneered when he heard this, "You are right, evidence is never important."

Pei Shuo was surprised by Liu Moyan's change, but the surprise only lasted for a moment.

It's not like he hadn't inquired about Liu Moyan's affairs over the years. Pei Shuo also guessed a little about her methods and experiences.

Pei Shuo understood that if Liu Moyan wanted to survive in such a cannibalistic place, she would not be able to remain a pure and innocent girl forever.

She had to break herself into pieces, rebuild herself into a completely different person.

You have to be ruthless and use any means necessary to survive in the danger-filled palace.

Just like him.

"Ah Shuo, I can help you get revenge, and I have been doing this, but it will take some time for him to die. You can't be impatient or impulsive. If Madam Pei is still alive, she wouldn't want you to act impulsively and lose your life in vain."

Pei Shuo didn't expect that she would be so straightforward. "Why did you help me? Yanyan, neither of us owes anyone anything. I know you feel guilty about what happened back then, but I never blame you. None of this was caused by you, you just wanted to live."

Because of these words, Liu Moyan couldn't control herself and burst into tears in his arms.

Her Ah Shuo is still as considerate, caring and understanding as ever.

Even in this situation, I never blame her.

It was because of her incompetence and cowardice that she wanted to vent all her hatred on the dog emperor.

Pei Shuo did not raise his hand to comfort her, nor did he hug her. He just let her hug him and cry for a long time, ruining her makeup.

After Liu Moyan finished crying and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, he said, "I am not only helping you, but also myself. I also want to live. I am tired of being manipulated by others and having troubles day and night. Ah Shuo, no matter what you want to do, we can join forces. On the road of revenge, our goals are the same. You can believe me on this."

The two talked for a long time under the big pine tree before Pei Shuo quietly left.

After everyone left, Liu Moyan wiped away her tears, and A Luo slowly came out from the dark, "My Lady, judging from Master Pei's appearance, I'm afraid he may not be trustworthy."

Liu Moyan wiped away her tears and sighed, "Believe it or not, he and I can always cooperate, after all, we have the same goal."

As for what will happen after the goal is achieved, Liu Moyan said nothing.

Seeing that the Queen had her own arrangements, A Luo stopped talking.

But she truly felt that this Prince Pei was very different from before.

The way he looked at the empress was not the way a man looked at a woman. Even when the empress hugged him and cried just now, he did not move at all, and his eyes were very calm. There was no hatred or resentment, but there was really no love either.
