The princess taught Pei Chun the method.

Pei Chun listened carefully, fearing that he might miss anything and threaten his family.

She trusts her mother a thousand times and ten thousand times.

After all, she had fought her way out of the bloody palace. If she didn't have some skills, she would definitely not have survived in the late emperor's harem.

……

Gu Yuan was lying on the bed, holding a huge pure white poisonous insect in his palm, listening to what happened in the palace today.

After a while, he stretched out his fingers to curl his hair in boredom, and said in a deep voice: "Are you saying that the person has been thrown into the pond?"

"Well, then you can call a few corpse-eating insects to eat the corpse cleanly. Just make sure no one can catch you."

The snow-white poisonous insect turned over in Gu Yuan's palm, and its plump fat flesh shook three times.

"You're right, luckily I didn't drink that wine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Who could have thought that Miss Pei Liu would be so fierce and put poisonous insects in everyone's wine?"

Gu Yuan sighed, waited for a while, and pricked up his ears as if listening.

After a long while, he finally answered: "That insect has a slight aphrodisiac effect, but it's not as powerful as two of them together."

The poisonous insect in his palm turned over again and stretched itself out, almost filling Gu Yuan's entire palm.

White, plump and chubby.

Seeing this fat ball, Gu Yuan's eyes rolled, as if he remembered something, and he said lightly: "But it doesn't matter, the Eighth Prince should be very uncomfortable tonight!"

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan laughed inexplicably.

The poisonous insect on the palm of his hand was given to him by his mother. It has grown with him since he was a child and is also his favorite one.

Xiaobai is his natal Gu.

When talking to Xiaobai, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little.

Gu Yuan held the insect in his hand and spoke again: "Xiao Bai, you also think Miss Pei Liu is very clever today, right?

With the help of the Queen and the Sixth Prince, he schemed against the Crown Prince and Pei Lin.

It’s really cute.”

The last sentence was said almost with a smile, and the already rising tone of voice carried a bit of strange pride.

Gu Yuan turned over and took out the hand warmer that Pei Chun had given him.

The charcoal fire inside had long been extinguished.

The finely carved copper hand warmer has now become a work of art.

He reached out, opened the lid, and stuffed the fat worm in his palm into it.

Place a cool hand warmer against the side of your face.

Gu Yuan allowed himself to warm the hand warmer with his body temperature.

In his drowsy state, he thought that he should visit the Princess's residence tomorrow.

……

The next day, the weather was clear and the wind was not strong even in winter. This kind of weather is rare in the capital.

The first person to visit the Princess's Mansion was not Gu Yuan.

Instead, it was Pei Zhong and his wife, Pei Lin whose face was covered in bruises, and Feng Huan who introduced them father and daughter.

Of these four men, one had his hand wrapped in bandages, one had his head and right eye wrapped in bandages, and the other two had purple bruises on their faces from being slapped.

It seems that Pei Lin and her daughter were beaten a lot by Pei Zhong yesterday.

In the front hall, the princess looked at Feng Huan who was kneeling in front of her with a kind expression: "Is Zixun's hand feeling better?"

Feng Huan's hands were wrapped so tightly that he could only hold them in front of him when he saluted.

Pei Chun hid behind a screen where no one else could see him, and grinned wantonly.

The looks of the Princess and Pei Qing were calm, without any of the anger or questioning that Feng Huan had expected.

Feng Huan felt a little strange, but he didn't foolishly take the initiative to mention the matter of drugging Pei Chun.

"Excuse me, Auntie. It was Huan who didn't have the strength to deal with the assassin and got hurt instead."

He turned sideways, revealing Pei Zhong and Pei Lin behind him.

"These two are the Minister of Personnel Pei Zhong and his wife.

This is the third daughter of the Minister, and my aunt also met her yesterday."

The princess blinked and put down the tea in her hand: "I understand, the three of you please take your seats, Zixun should also sit down and rest first."

Pei Qing nodded and looked at Feng Huan with his usual kindness: "Zixun's hand is not healed yet, he should recuperate at home before coming here."

Feng Huan responded with a smile, turned around and winked at Pei Zhong.

Pei Zhong paused, leaned forward slightly, and knelt on the ground again with a plop. Then he kowtowed to the princess continuously.

The princess was a little surprised: "What's going on? Sir Pei, please get up first."

“Your Highness, my eldest brother is a member of the Pei clan. Although he no longer lives in the Pei clan, the blood relationship still exists.

How can you just leave the clan temple so easily?

I came here today just to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to consider whether you can let my elder brother sever his relationship with the Pei family.

If the officials and common people outside knew that my eldest brother had voluntarily withdrawn from the ancestral hall, he would inevitably be labeled as unfilial and unfraternal...

What if my elder brother is reprimanded by His Majesty for this? "

After Pei Zhong finished speaking, he kowtowed again, his meaning was obvious.

His eldest brother, Pei Ding, Duke of Xin, is Pei Chun’s biological father.

Pei Chun was listening from behind and rolled his eyes in anger.

I finally understood why my mother didn't let her go out to meet the guests first.

If she were outside, she would definitely not be able to resist confronting the shameless Pei Zhong.

Pei Zhong has offended the emperor and the prince.

At this time, the only lifeline for being close to the emperor is the Princess's Mansion, but this person still uses the blood relationship to force his mother.

If mother doesn't agree at this time, wouldn't it mean that father himself is disregarding blood ties, being unfilial and unfraternal, and insisting on leaving the ancestral hall?

If mother agrees now, wouldn't that mean she is on the same side as Pei Zhong and is in disguised form of allegiance to the prince?

At that time, mother would certainly go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for help in order to protect father's identity as Pei's son.

But the emperor had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Pei and rejected the possibility of the Princess's Mansion serving the Crown Prince in the future.

Pei Zhong's actions clearly put his mother in a difficult position.

Entering the palace at this time is no different from offending the emperor.

It's really disgusting...

After hearing this, the eldest princess remained unmoved and showed a dignified smile.

“Master Pei, please stand up first. As for the ancestral temple… Please forgive me for speaking frankly, but this matter was decided by His Majesty.

I am a lowly person and have no power to change your majesty's will."

At this point, the princess casually mentioned Pei Lin, who was as quiet as a chicken behind her: "It's a good thing that Lin'er and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are in love with each other.

Once I enter the Crown Prince's Mansion and become a concubine, I will be a member of the royal family. Then our relationship will be even closer, and it won't matter what clan temple it is."

Pei Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, had an ugly look on his face. Being rejected made him feel completely humiliated. Hearing this, he subconsciously glared at Pei Lin.

She didn't hesitate to make disparaging remarks: "Your Highness the Princess is joking. How could she be a concubine? A concubine is the highest position she can hold.

This time, it was my wife who failed to teach this shameless girl well, causing her to make such a big mistake.

But fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess helped His Majesty before, so that this damn girl was saved from death."

Having said that, Pei Zhong glared at Pei Lin again, and his fierce eyes made the person tremble all over.

Tears began to flow down her cheeks. Knowing that the princess was torturing her, Pei Lin could only shamelessly beg the princess for help.

After all, the only one who can save the Pei family now is the eldest princess.

All the other officials who were familiar with Dad heard the news from somewhere and didn't even come to see Dad.

Not to mention going to ask the Crown Prince in person. Going now would bring bad luck and get you beaten!

If it weren’t for Brother Zixun’s help today, they probably wouldn’t have been able to see the eldest princess.

The eldest princess coughed, shook her head and opened her lips.
