The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down
Chapter 63: Backup Son-in-law
When the Duke of Zhenguo returned home, his wife invited him into the house.
Seeing his wife's serious expression, the Duke of Zhenguo took a sip of tea and asked, "What happened? Did Pei Shuo cause trouble?"
Madam Pei drove the servants out and handed a portrait to the Duke of Zhenguo.
"Look, does it look familiar?"
When the Duke of Zhenguo saw the person in the portrait, he was stunned for a long time, with horror in his eyes.
"Panshan Dragon?"
There are some slight changes in appearance, such as a scar on the face.
But without this scar, the Duke of Zhenguo would not dare to recognize him.
This scar was made by his own hands, but that person should have died on that rainy night, so how could he still be alive?
"Zhang's sister also told me the same thing."
She told the Duke of Zhenguo about Madam Zhang Er's encounter with robbers, and the Duke of Zhenguo frowned after hearing it.
"I'm afraid Madam Zhang is hiding something."
Madam Pei nodded. "According to Zhang, Madam Zhang and her companions encountered robbers on their way back. They barely managed to escape death, so she sent people to check which robbers were so brazen as to dare to become bandits in Tengjiao Mountain. She was determined to wipe out all the thieves. But who knew that they would find a Panshanlong."
I don't know whether Mrs. Zhang did it intentionally or unintentionally, but when something like this happened, she naturally had to report it to the authorities. How could she investigate it privately on her own? It's obvious that she is hiding something.
If the Duke of Zhenguo could see it, how could Madam Pei not see it?
"She didn't think I was stupid, but there were some things she couldn't tell me. She was just afraid that her sister and niece had encountered some troubles. This was related to the reputation of women, and it might ruin their lives. It was human nature for Zhang's sister to be cautious and conceal things."
The implication of hiding something is that she is not told what it is. This is to tell Mrs. Pei that the matter does not harm them, and the only ones who are in danger are Mrs. Zhang and her daughter.
The Duke of Zhenguo thought about it and agreed, but he still didn't believe that Panshanlong was still alive.
"Only the three of us know what happened back then. You saw me burn the body with your own eyes. It has long since turned to ashes. It is impossible for it to be Panshanlong. So it is possible that someone is pretending to be Panshanlong and doing evil. Humph, hiding behind others to act, what a cowardly bandit."
Madam Pei glared at him. "You are a general, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers, but you don't know what it means to be deceitful in war. Why bother yourself with getting into trouble in the open when you can get things done in the dark? Look at us, we are just too famous and have become sitting ducks. Your daughter will be sent to the palace and forced to take sides."
Seeing his wife was angry, the Duke of Zhenguo quickly comforted her: "Madam, you are joking. Didn't you say that there is a solution to my daughter's problem?"
A few days ago, a message came out from the uterus saying that the attitude of the imperial palace was being tested in the palace. The harem was determined to keep the people. Not only that, but the three girls became targets when they pretended to be sick.
"Now, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult."
Mrs. Pei was anxious, but no matter how anxious she was, she had to follow the rules. After all, it was the imperial palace.
They could not openly disobey the order and snatch the person away.
Mrs. Pei thought about it and there was only one way to dissuade these people from doing this.
"I got the news last night that His Majesty is not feeling well, but I think it's mainly a mental illness."
The Duke of Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with you?"
"What else could be bothering him?" Madam Pei sneered, "Have you forgotten how he got the throne? In order to seize the throne, he even killed his own brothers and sisters. I don't believe he won't have nightmares at night."
The Duke of Zhenguo asked her to speak more quietly, "How can you say such things out loud? It will make you feel uneasy even at home."
The emperor is now suspicious, and those who hold military power are also obstacles in his eyes.
"If I can't get rid of you, I'll have to win you over. After much thought, at this point, the only person he can listen to is Xun Yangzi."
"Xun Yangzi? You didn't send someone to look for him back in Beijing, did you? That old Taoist left Beijing and traveled around the world for many years, and no one knows his whereabouts. Now that the talent show is approaching, isn't it like sending distant water to quench a nearby fire?"
Madam Pei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I just thought of this now? When Zhao Mingbo's incident came out, I knew that the engagement had to be cancelled. Once the engagement was cancelled, the wolves in the royal family would definitely come after us. So I had someone look for Xun Yangzi a long time ago, and now that I finally got the news, I dared to tell you. If you can get him to come back and say a few words to relieve that person's worry, then half of my daughter's matter will be settled."
"What about the other half?"
"As for the other half, you also know that the old Taoist is well versed in the mystical arts and is an expert in divination and alchemy. As long as he says that Yiyi's fate is incompatible with the royal family and whoever marries her will be unlucky, I don't believe that the Queen and the Imperial Concubine would dare to set their sights on her again, unless they want their son to have no chance of becoming the Emperor from now on."
Even if the empress and the imperial concubine did not believe it, the emperor did.
If that old Taoist priest had not said that the emperor was the true dragon emperor, how could he be so cruel as to sit on his current position.
If I marry someone with a fate that is too bad for my son, then giving the throne to that person would not be killing my son, right?
In this way, Pei Yi's identity not only cannot help anyone ascend to the throne, but is instead a roadblock to ascending the throne.
Whoever marries her will have a short life and cannot become emperor.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Queen and the Imperial Concubine to target Pei Yi again.
"In this case, my daughter's marriage will probably be more difficult."
No father wants his daughter to be unmarried. Duke Zhenguo loves his daughter so much that he wants to give her the best of everything.
If the old Duke had not made an engagement with the Zhao family, he would have been reluctant to let his daughter marry Zhao Mingbo.
Now that the marriage has fallen through, how can I find a good man for my daughter?
As soon as Xun Yangzi's words get out, Pei Yi's marriage might be over.
Mrs. Pei was very calm: "It's okay. Let Pei Yi follow Xun Yangzi to practice in seclusion for a few months. When the audition is over, change the storyline and say that she has done charity and her bad luck has passed. She is safe and can be matched with a good match. It won't be difficult to find a good match then."
The Duke of Zhenguo wanted to refute, saying that this was a trick to fool the people of the world. Seeing that the lady was so sure, he suddenly asked, "Could it be that the lady has already found a suitable candidate?"
Mrs. Pei: "What do you think of Lingzhi?"
"The Bai Lingzhi from the Bai family?"
"What, no?"
The Duke of Zhenguo smiled helplessly and said, "Oh my lady, even if I don't care about family background and want my daughter to marry into the Bai family, they have to agree. These two kids have been fighting like black chicken eyes every time they meet since they were young. You don't like me, I don't like you, and we can't wait to beat each other to death. If we really get together, we will fight every day. How can we live like this? No, no, change someone else."
Mrs. Pei paused and said, "That was when we were kids. Now we're all grown up, so we can't compare to when we were kids. Why don't we wait until this is over and get to know each other, maybe we can develop some feelings for each other."
The Duke of Zhenguo sneered and thought it was a terrible idea.
Bai Lingzhi, who was calculating the accounts, also sneezed repeatedly. Was someone talking about him?
