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

All the concubines in the palace returned home. Pei Yi returned safely. When Mrs. Pei saw her, she was happy and distressed. "Yi Yi has suffered a lot."

Pei Yi shook her head. She was not hungry or cold in the palace, so how could she suffer?

Instead, he was concerned about his brother and father, "Is father's injury better?"

"It was just a superficial wound. Your brother was stabbed and had a high fever for several days. The imperial physician said he had a narrow escape. I didn't expect that the fire-burning girl had such a skill. The knife almost took his life."

Madam Pei sighed. She had not expected her son to be so brave. Thanks to her son's bravery, the Duke's Mansion was able to survive the crisis safely.

Pei Yi was quite angry: "The people of Yuan Qingzong really deserve to be cut into pieces."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pei patted her hands and asked her to go see her brother.

Pei Shuo was recuperating at home. Because his injury was on his back, he couldn't lie down and could only lie on the bed. Fortunately, he had taken some medicine. When he heard his sister coming, he was about to get up but was stopped by Pei Yi.

"You should take a rest. I'll come and see how you are doing."

Pei Shuo smiled and said, "Don't you know me? With my ability, it's not that easy for me to die."

Pei Yi was relieved to see that he was in good spirits. While her mother was away, she couldn't help but ask him, "How much do you know about Xu Yao?"

Pei Shuo's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't answer directly, "Sister, what can I know about this question? She is a girl from the Liu family. I just followed Yan Yan and met her a few times, but we didn't say a few words."

"Really? I heard that you asked her for help in finding Xun Yangzi at Tengjiao Mountain. Did she really not tell you anything?"

Pei Shuo looked at his sister strangely, "Sister, what are you doubting? If you have anything to ask, just ask directly. I don't quite understand the way you talk."

Pei Yi thought about it and sighed: "Do you know how Xu Yao was caught this time?"

Pei Shuo shook his head, knowing only that the Third Prince had planned to arrest someone. At that time, the Pei family was under house arrest by the Palace Front Department, so how could they know about Xu Yao's situation?

Pei Yi was different. That day, she was also in Chuxiu Palace. When she heard the noise, she rushed out to see what was going on and happened to hear some of the conversation between the two.

She heard Xu Yao's questioning of Liu Moyan. She was very worried about her brother. After thinking it over, she decided to tell him the conversation between Liu Moyan and Xu Yao.

"It seems that Yanyan and the Third Prince reached some agreement. Using Yanyan's hand, they lured people outside the palace wall and captured her. I didn't want to tell you this at first, but the situation is different now. I think you need to know that the Third Prince has set his sights on Yanyan."

Pei Shuo's eyes flashed with resentment, "Sister, do you mean that the Third Prince might snatch Yan Yan away?"

Pei Shuo became nervous and didn't care about the pain in his body. He wanted to get to the bottom of this matter. Pei Yi pushed the man back.

"Calm down. Even if the Third Prince likes Yanyan, there is no way he can ask the Emperor to grant her marriage."

The emperor was seriously ill and something like this happened. How could he possibly talk about a beauty pageant at this time?

Even she was sent back, which shows that the emperor has to reconsider the matter of choosing a concubine for the prince.

Pei Yi had a hunch that after this incident, the royal family's attitude towards the Duke of Zhenguo might have changed.

The power of the Duke of Zhenguo was already too great, and this time Pei Shuo saved the emperor again.

Everyone looked at the Pei family, which was in full bloom.

But Pei Yi felt that they were at their peak too. If the royal family allowed her to enter the palace and become a prince's consort at this time, she would be in dire straits and would be close to death.

Pei Shuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her words. "Yan Yan and I are of the same mind. I will ask my mother to go to the Liu family and finalize our marriage."

Pei Yi felt a bit of a headache, as the marriage was not the important thing right now.

Although Xu Yao is dead, the Liu family is still there.

They had no idea what kind of agreement Liu Moyan had with the third prince.

What she was afraid of was that the Third Prince would not let the Pei family go, and then Liu Moyan would become a knife and stab the Pei family fiercely.

What should Pei Shuo do when he is stabbed in the back by Liu Moyan?

"Sister, you worry too much. Yanyan is just a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. Even if she was forced to betray Xu Yao at that time, she..."

Pei Shuo paused, thinking of Xu Yao's suggestive look, and felt complicated.

He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, "Xu Yao is backed by Yuan Qingzong, Yan Yan is just a weak woman, she had no choice but to agree to cooperate with the Third Prince. Now that Xu Yao is dead, Yan Yan has no use value in the eyes of the Third Prince, and there will be no disputes between them anymore."

Pei Yi looked at him deeply and sighed, "I hope so, but I'm always very nervous. You should pay attention to it secretly."

She didn't say this directly to her parents because she had some doubts in her heart, and she didn't want Liu Moyan to have a bad impression in her parents' minds because of her doubts.

If she and Pei Shuo were really destined to be together and she married into the Pei family, she would be his sister-in-law.

As a family, Pei Yi always hoped that they could live in harmony with each other, and didn't want to have a grudge before they even got married.

Children’s affairs should be handled by children, don’t let the elders worry.

Pei Shuo agreed with her, and after everyone left, he called Qing Mo.

"Did you know how the royal family dealt with Xu Yao's body during the days I was recuperating?"

"I heard that he was sent to the crematorium and burned. I don't know where he ended up being used as fertilizer for flowers. Why are you asking this, my Lord?"

Pei Shuo still has a feeling that it is not quite real. Others may not know it, but he knows it. At that time, Xu Yao met his eyes and exchanged the secret code with him.

The secret signal was that she would take action and act out the rescue act herself.

This was originally intended for them to deal with Xun Yangzi. According to Xu Yao's plan, if Xun Yangzi was unwilling to go back to Beijing with them, Xu Yao would pretend to stab Xun Yangzi with a knife, and Pei Shuo would come forward to save him and do him a favor.

The plan was not implemented, and Pei Shuo could not have imagined that they would use this trick in the Qinzheng Hall.

When Xu Yao chopped down with that knife, it really hurt, and he thought he was going to die for a moment.

But my father was an experienced warrior, and after seeing his wound, he was very sure that the person who used the knife was extremely scheming and had a very good sense of measure. If the blade had moved forward a little bit more, it would have taken his life. Even if it didn't take his life, it might have made him never be able to stand up again in his life.

But this perfect measure not only brought him unparalleled wealth, but also helped the Pei family escape from crisis.

No matter what outsiders thought, Pei Shuo knew clearly that Xu Yao was definitely not the way they described.

But he also didn't understand who Xu Yao was.

If he was Yuan Qingzong's man, why should he show mercy to his men?

If he was not a member of Yuan Qingzong's clan, how could he be involved in this storm?

But no matter how he thought, the person was already dead, and Pei Shuo couldn't find the answer. He thought about collecting her body and erecting a tombstone without words, at least she couldn't die without a burial place.

Who would have thought that the emperor didn't even leave his ashes behind. He wanted the emperor to grind his bones and scatter their ashes, wishing that the other party would be reduced to ashes.

In any case, Pei Shuo felt that he had accepted Xu Yao's favor, and he could neither erect a tablet for her nor a monument without words on it. In the end, he could only go to the temple and erect a tablet for her longevity.

I didn’t dare write Xu Yao’s full name, so I used A Yao’s name.

Pei Shuo didn't know which character "Yao" it was, so he simply used the one next to "Wang". I hope Xu Yao can live a happier and easier life in his next life.
