Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

Chapter 31 Becoming a substitute queen dressed as a woman 1

This was not a peaceful dynasty. After the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Langche died of a sudden illness, the old emperor of Wei also passed away, and the young sixth prince Xuanyuan Mingyuan was pushed to the throne.

The emperor was young and had no real power, and his ministers were eyeing him covetously.

Among them, the forces led by the four major families are fighting against each other, while there is another force that has the upper hand and is feared.

That is the power represented by Xue Shenyi, the seal holder of the Imperial Treasury. This Xue was vicious and cruel. He did a lot of dirty things for the late emperor when he was alive. After the late emperor passed away, there were rumors that it was this Xue who was behind the plot and wanted to blackmail the emperor to control the princes.

But there is no evidence to prove anything.

The story takes place after the young emperor Xuanyuan Mingyuan ascended the throne. Unknown to the world, this young emperor was a freak.

After his secret was known by the villain Xue Shenyi, he started a rebellion and asked him to abdicate.

The result was still a disastrous defeat, and he was later sentenced to death by the emperor.

As for the character Pei Yu, she was only briefly mentioned in the plot: "The empress who brought good luck to the late emperor was buried with the concubines in the palace after the late emperor passed away."

Pei Yu: "..." The plot is explosive, and the characters are explosive.

The plot of this world is obviously not even a little bit higher than that of the first world.

If melodrama has levels, this world is definitely the king.

The system agrees [It is indeed quite strong.]

Pei Yu thought of something [The villain in this world is called Xue Shenyi?]

System […Maybe it’s a coincidence.]

Pei Yu said nothing, but rubbed his pointed chin twice with his white fingertips.

System [Don’t tell me, you look pretty good in women’s clothes.]

The original body was still young and his body had not yet fully grown. Due to years of difficult living conditions, he looked much shorter than boys of the same age.

She was wearing a plain jade-white skirt with bamboo embroidery, her waist was slender, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, her lips were red without any makeup, and she was still stunning even with a little makeup.

The original body's mother came from a scholarly family and was betrothed to Pei's father when they were young. However, Pei's father already had a beloved woman, and Pei's mother was not favored by him.

Pei's father married his beloved woman, Lan, as his concubine. In the first year after Lan entered the mansion, she became pregnant and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for Pei's father. It was only after that that Pei's mother gave birth to the original body.

Pei's mother knew that Pei's father did not like her, and therefore she was even more afraid that the Lan family would harm their child because the original child was a boy and a legitimate child, so she concealed his gender so that the original child could spend his childhood safely.

Pei's mother had been unloved for a long time and was depressed. After she passed away two years ago, the original young lady who was raised in the back house and educated as a woman cowardly allowed the Lan mother and daughter to bully her.

Only when Pei's mother's family occasionally came to visit the house would Lan change him into decent clothes. On ordinary days, what he ate and used was even worse than what the servants gave him.

Lan's daughter Pei Binghe is a frail and sickly person. Although she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she relies on medicine all day long. Few people know the true appearance of this eldest lady.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the Pei family dared to let the second daughter replace the eldest daughter to get married. The old emperor was no longer able to do so, and they would not be willing to let their precious daughter, whom they held in the palm of their hands, marry him to get married. So this matter naturally fell on the original person's head.

In fact, this is true. In the original text, the original owner went to get married, but the old emperor passed away within a month.

Afterwards, the original body died as a burial companion, but the Pei family gained a large sum of money, and even Pei Binghe's brother Pei Bingtang was given an official position.

Pei Yu [What is my mission this time?]

System [The main task is to live a good life without being buried with the family, punish the Pei family and avenge yourself. The side task is to redeem the villain Xue Shenyi.]

Pei Yu caught something different [Why is it the redemption villain this time?]

System [Because Xue Shenyi has turned evil, what you need to do is to pull him out of the darkness.]

Pei Yu picked up the ink to draw her eyebrows and looked at her soft and fragile face in the mirror with satisfaction.

As expected, the Lan family specially prepared the dress and jewelry to make the original body look like Pei Binghe. She really looks as weak as a willow in the wind.

Pei Yu smiled faintly [In this case, I have to ask Master Zhangyin for help.]

Pei Yu stood up and headed for the front hall. The maid Xiao Tao followed him, her eyes red with anxiety: "Second Miss, what should we do? The master and the mistress are determined to make you die in place of the eldest miss!"

Pei Yu calmly adjusted his cuffs: "Everything will work out when we get to the bridge."

Xiao Tao was about to cry: "Miss!"

Pei Yu: "Will it be better for me to stay at home than to go to the palace?"

Xiao Tao: "..."

Pei Yu let out a bitter smile: "Besides, I can't make the decision on this kind of thing."

The girl was frail, and Xiao Tao felt a pang of sadness in her heart. They were both the master's children, but the eldest daughter was able to live a life of luxury because she was the son of the master's beloved, while the second daughter lived such a miserable life.

Pei Yu naturally didn't know what Xiao Tao was thinking. When he walked into the front hall, Pei's father and Lan were sitting in the lower seats. On the higher seat sat a man wearing a three-peaked hat and a dove-feather-colored wide-sleeved dragon robe.

The man was drinking tea with his head lowered. When he heard the voice, he raised his eyes and looked towards Pei Yu. His handsome eyebrows were filled with a cold light.

He is not like other eunuchs who are covered in cosmetics and at first glance one would think he is a young master from a prestigious family.

His facial features are handsome and heroic, his eyebrows are deep, his lips are thin and red, and he looks like a lone wolf in the woods amid the smoke.

Xue Shenyi supported his head with his hands, and spoke in an androgynous voice that was not sharp or harsh, but rather cold and pleasant: "This is Miss Pei Binghe, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's my daughter." Father Pei nodded hurriedly and winked at Pei Yu: "Kneel down quickly, haven't you come to see the Master Seal Holder yet?"

Pei Yu turned sideways and was about to kneel, but his knees felt hot and a force pulled his knees back, preventing him from kneeling.

Xue Shenyi withdrew his hand and said in a voice that was indistinguishable from joy or anger: "Minister Pei, did I ask you?"

Father Pei: "......" No?

Xue Shenyi changed the subject and lazily moved his gaze to Pei's father like a cat, tapping his temple with his fingers and said: "Pei Binghe is now the queen whom the emperor ordered to marry. If you ask the queen to kneel, you are asking the emperor to kneel. We can't bear this kneeling. Why, Minister Pei, do you think you can bear it?"

These words were clearly specious, but when Xue Shenyi said them, the meaning was completely different.

Now the emperor is old and seriously ill, incompetent and ruthless. Xue Shenyi is deeply favored by the emperor, and his opinion is the emperor's opinion... Even if it is not the emperor's opinion, he can make it the emperor's opinion.

Father Pei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and fell to his knees with a thud: "Master, this is not what I meant!"
