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

Pei Shuo gave a guarantee, and Liu Moyan took Xu Yao away.

As soon as the person left, Pei Shuo's face changed and he immediately took the letter to see his father.

The Duke of Zhenguo was very shocked when he saw the letter, "Where did you get this letter from?"

Pei Shuo did not hide it: "Yan Yan gave it to me, but she refused to tell me how she got it. Father, since Yan Yan is willing to give us such an important thing, she must trust me."

The Duke of Zhenguo looked at his son with mixed feelings, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, but did not agree with his idea.

"If this letter is not handled properly, the Pei family will be dragged into the fight for the throne, which is not a good thing. Shuo'er, you have grown up. There are some things that your father does not want to hide from you. It is time for you to know."

Pei Shuo was puzzled, so he listened to him and said, "I sent people to investigate the people who wanted to assassinate you at Tai'an Temple that day. They were not only targeting the Third Prince. They even found out that people from our family were also going to Tai'an Temple to burn incense. If someone hadn't secretly helped us that day, not only would the Third Prince have suffered, but our Pei family would have suffered as well."

"Father means that the Second Prince not only wants to kill the Third Prince, but he also won't let us go. Why is that?"

"You know that my father has the power of 100,000 soldiers. If the princes want to fight for the throne, they will definitely try to win me over. To be honest, the Empress's mother's family, the Wu family, has approached me many times, openly and secretly, hoping that I would support the Second Prince, but I avoided them all."

"Could it be that because you, father, refused to agree, they would kill you? Doesn't His Majesty care?"

"Of course, things are not that simple. This letter specifically states that the Second Prince wants to kill the Third Prince, and left a letter. It seems to be true, but would the Second Prince's people be so stupid?"

The Duke of Zhenguo felt that the matter was not that simple. If he took the letter to the emperor, he would definitely offend the second prince and the queen.

No matter what his intentions were at that time, others would only think that he chose the third prince. After all, when the truth was revealed, the one who would benefit the most would definitely be the third prince.

Pei Shuo didn't understand. "The Third Prince was almost killed, and the Second Prince also made a mistake. He can't tolerate his brothers, and I'm afraid he won't tolerate us ministers in the future. It's not a good thing for such a person to become the emperor."

Pei Shuo thought so, and the Duke of Zhenguo was not surprised at all, but he still said: "At first glance, it is true. But we can't look at things so simply and one-sidedly. Not to mention that the letter from the young lady of the Liu family came so suddenly, if we hand it over rashly, we will definitely offend the Queen's family. Have you ever thought about whether someone deliberately handed this letter to us, hoping to use our knife to deal with the second prince?"

Pei Shuo was stunned, but when he thought that the biggest beneficiary behind the scenes was the Third Prince, he immediately calmed down.

"Father means that the Third Prince might be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded.

"Then it would be dangerous for us to keep this letter."

The Duke of Zhenguo naturally knew about it, but the letter needed to be verified. If it was true, it would be inappropriate to burn it.

This thing is like a hot potato at the moment, so it is better to hide the letter for the time being.

"I will send someone to investigate how the young lady from the Liu family got the letter. You and her..."

"Dad, I believe Yanyan. She won't hurt me."

The Duke of Zhenguo thought of the girl's innocent face and nodded. "She loves you deeply, so she will not harm you. I am afraid that she will be used by others, so I would like to be careful. Please be patient, and wait until I find some clues, and then we can make a decision."

The father and son discussed it for a while, and Pei Shuo left with a heavy heart.

He went to find his elder sister, "Elder sister, why do I feel like Yanyan has become a little different since she fell into the water?"

Pei Yi had just sent Zhao Mingbo away and was in a very good mood. She took a bite of the apple and sighed, "Not bad, you have finally made some progress and finally discovered this."

"You've felt something was wrong with her?"

"You think everyone is you, because you are blinded by love for someone. When I invited her to go hunting, I felt that she was worried and had many secrets. When she came this time, I felt that even more. What did she tell you?"

Pei Shuo remembered what he had promised his father, shook his head and didn't tell her.

"He didn't say anything, he just showed some concern for my injury."

He didn't want to talk about it, so he turned to talking about Zhao Mingbo.

In the carriage, Liu Moyan was also talking to Xu Yao about Zhao Mingbo.

"Suppose, I mean suppose I have a friend. I find out that her fiancé may have another woman outside, should I tell her about it?"

Xu Yao knew with his feet that the friend she was talking about was most likely Mrs. Pei.

See through things but don’t speak them out, and your character will not be ruined.

Xu Yao followed her words and said, "Madam, I have heard people say that if you catch an adulterer, you should catch both of them, and if you catch a thief, you should seize the stolen goods. If you tell that friend that her fiancé has another woman outside without any evidence, she will definitely not believe it. But if you let her see with her own eyes that her fiancé is with another woman, then she will know it without you saying anything, right?"

Liu Moyan thought about it and realized it was true. "Then go and help me find out where the woman he keeps is."

Xu Yao played dumb: "Which friend are you talking about? Who is her fiancé?"

Liu Moyan paused for a moment: "That's... that's the man you just saw, Madam Pei's fiancé Zhao Mingbo."

Xu Yao was surprised: "Him? No way, he looks gentle and polite, and seems to be deeply in love with Madam Pei. He also brought so many gifts when he came. Madam Pei smiled happily when she heard that he was coming."

Liu Moyan was deeply touched. "Who said it's not true? You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Ah Yao, you are the most capable one. I only need you by my side. Go and help me find out where he keeps the woman outside? Okay?"

She was so anxious that she didn't even realize her own vulnerability.

Xu Yao acted embarrassed.

"what happened?"

"Madam, I'm always out and about, and I'm afraid Madam will be dissatisfied. Besides, when you go out to do things, you have to spend money. Last time, I spent all the money you gave me to buy that letter."

When Liu Moyan heard this, she felt a headache.

But she also knew that following someone and getting information out of them all required money.

But she herself is short of money!

She was suddenly embarrassed: "You go find out first, I'll go to my mother to ask for some money."

"If the lady asks..."

"Just tell them that I asked you to run errands outside because I want to open a shop and I want you to help me look after the situation."

Zhang looked at her daughter with a surprised look on her face: "Open a shop? What kind of shop do you want to open?"

What nonsense! He went out and came back shouting about doing business. Could he have been stimulated by something?

Liu Moyan came over and pulled her arm and acted coquettishly, "Mother, I feel that at my age, I should have some money of my own to spend. I can't always ask you for money. So I thought it would be better to open a shop and make some money for myself."
