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

After the madness, Pei Shuo became rational and calm again. He began to not hide his secrets and took Xu Yao to Mingqian Building.

In Mingqian Building, Xu Yao met Yuan Qingzong's men.

Xu Yao didn't know any of these people, but in front of her, they discussed with Pei Shuo how to deal with the Wu family, how to interfere in state affairs, and how to create chaos in Beichen Dingnan.

His secrets were laid out right before Xu Yao's eyes.

The more Xu Yao felt the danger was, the more it was like a criminal gang revealing all their core secrets to her. It was not necessarily out of trust, but to drag the other party into the water and make them an accomplice.

Xu Yao didn't want to listen, but was forced to listen to the whole thing, and then he had no choice but to leave.

She was having tea in Mingqian Building, which was still bustling.

The girls performing singing and dancing came in with graceful figures and there was a round of applause from the downstairs. Soon, the storyteller came up and started telling a story.

As Xu Yao listened, he realized that this was actually the story of how the Dayu Dynasty fell.

It was a story about the previous dynasty, and everyone just thought it was interesting, and no one thought deeply about it. But Xu Yao understood that Pei Shuo was paving the way for the restoration of the so-called Dayu Dynasty.

She still hasn't figured it out. Since Wuming is dead and Pei Shuo is in control of Yuanqing Sect, why should he continue to follow the old path forced on him by Wuming?

Is there something controlling Pei Shuo and forcing him to do this?

Xu Yao didn't understand yet, Pei Shuo's business had been completed and he was taking Xu Yao back.

Xu Yao asked where the former Ma Sanye had gone. She remembered that the previous manager of this building owner was Ma San.

Pei Shuo said calmly: "Dead."

Xu Yao was surprised: "How did he die?"

"He died the same way Bai Lingzhi died. The former Third Prince was a man who would hide his bow after the bird was killed. Ma San thought he could have a good life following him, but he knew too many of the Third Prince's secrets. When the Third Prince ascended the throne, he naturally had to get rid of this black glove. Ma San couldn't see the situation clearly, and he easily fell into the Third Prince's calculations, and was dealt with cleanly. People mean that Mingqian Tower was also deserted for a long time. Later, the people of Yuan Qingzong quietly took over, and then it slowly recovered."

Xu Yao thought for a moment and asked him, "Is it because he knew that the Third Prince conspired with Emperor Yuan Qing to frame the Pei family and murder the late emperor?"

"Ayao is smart, that's exactly why. He wanted to be a good emperor, cover up all his sins, stand upright in front of everyone, and let everyone kneel down and submit to him. But it's a pity that a beast is a beast. Once he rolls in the mud, he will smell like mud for the rest of his life and will never be noble."

Xu Yao felt that he was not only talking about the third prince, but also about himself.

He hated that experience immensely.

Xu Yao couldn't help but hold her hand and comfort him gently.

After touching it, she was surprised at her instinctive reaction and wanted to pull her hand back, but Pei Shuo held it tightly.

It can be said that his eyes were burning as he stared at Xu Yao, "Ah Yao, do you feel sorry for me?"

Xu Yao turned his head away uncomfortably, feeling very complicated. When he had time, Xu Yao would go to see Doctor Qu and ask if there was any way to get rid of the poison in his body.

Doctor Qu sighed, felt her pulse, shook his head and said he was powerless, "I couldn't do anything about the Gu before, and I can't do anything about this now."

"Tell me the truth, what did you do in the past? You know a lot about Yuan Qingzong's affairs. I'm afraid you were a doctor in Yuan Qingzong."

Old Man Qu looked at her and suddenly laughed.

"You are right. I did work as a doctor in Yuan Qingzong."

He snorted and laughed, then gritted his teeth and said, "I was also adopted by Yuan Qingzong. That place is mysterious and scary. My aptitude is too poor, so I was just a handyman at first."

"and after?"

"Later, I met a powerful master who taught me medical skills and how to make poisons. I quietly learned from him until one day, when he came back covered in blood and drove me away, asking me to leave this place forever. I never saw anyone from Yuan Qing Sect again."

He then shook his head and said, "Maybe I have seen him, but at that time I was already far away from Yuan Qing Sect and had no idea who was from Yuan Qing Sect."

He talked about his past in a lighthearted manner. Xu Yao felt that things were not that simple. He wondered whether he should give him some truth water to drink, but was met with his sad eyes.

Xu Yao held back again, for he was afraid that if he told it, it would be similar to Pei Shuo's sad past. They were both sad people, and Xu Yao didn't want to pry into other people's sad past.

She sighed and turned away.

Xu Yao thought that the old Taoist priest, the Immortal of the South China Sea, might have taken Xu Sheng to Beichen and would never come back. He just didn't know if his master could be found.

The more Xu Yao thought about it, the angrier she became. The old Taoist priest was full of lies. He said that she was the only one who could find the wise master, but he just disappeared like that. He was even willing to take that pervert away but not herself. It was really too much.

"I heard you scolding me."

The yard suddenly became quiet, and a person was sitting under the big tree.

Xu Yao looked around, and didn't see Nanny Wang, nor Luluo and the others, only the Immortal of the South China Sea.

Xu Yao cursed in his heart: "How come you appear and disappear like a ghost? Suddenly you pop up again. You didn't escape either, did you?"

Nanhai Xianweng looked at her solemnly: "I came here because I want to explain something to you clearly."

Xu Yao sighed, "What do you want to say? Hurry up, or you can just take me away and we can talk outside."

"That won't work." Nanhai Xianweng shook his head, "I can leave, but you can't."

"Why? I at least call you Master. I am trapped here now. I have been poisoned by a poisonous insect and I can't even use my power. You must save my life."

Nanhai Xianweng sighed, "I did lie to you."

"What did you lie to me about?"

"I know you are a lonely soul from another world."

Xu Yao glared: "What do you mean?"

"The former Zhao Xi is already dead, right?"

Xu Yao covered his mouth. He didn't expect him to get so close to his face and yell, "Old Taoist priest, what else do you know?"

Nanhai Xianweng looked at her straight, his eyes deep: "Since you are from another world, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"

Xu Yao: "It's hard not to believe it. It has come to this. Do you have a past life or a present life?"

Nanhai Xianweng nodded and told him, "In my previous life, I witnessed the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I saw the world in chaos, the people were displaced, their families were broken up, and the world became a hell. So I used all my Taoist skills to forcefully reverse time and space and go back to ten years ago."

Xu Yao's heart skipped a beat. "Then what?"

"I came here because I figured out that if I could go back to the past, there would be a glimmer of hope to save the people from the dire situation. When I went back to ten years ago, I found that a lonely soul like you appeared in another world, and some people who deserved to die also survived."

"For example?"

"For example, Liu Moyan, Kang Runyue, and Pei Shuo, they should have died several years ago."
