My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 278 The person behind the scenes points to the mystery

After kissing the child's face well, he gave instructions to the grandmother next to him.

"Be sure to take good care of my princess's child, and have someone send the news to the palace to my father. By the way, let the world know that my princess has a child."

Although her face still showed the weakness of a pregnant woman when she said this, her eyes looked more like the strategizing princess, so there must be reasons for her words and deeds.

At the thought of this, everyone knelt down in fear, and Princess Qinghuan was always generous when taking action, so she said to everyone.

"The doctor and Mrs. Wen who delivered the baby today will each be rewarded with 300 taels of silver, and everyone else who will attend the delivery of this princess will be rewarded with three years of silver."

This was a huge fortune, so everyone who received the reward thanked the princess sincerely and said good luck.

After the heavy reward, Princess Qinghuan lay down on the bed. She was exhausted due to childbirth, so she took another look at her beloved son before going to bed, and then fell asleep steadily.

The news soon came out from the palace, and it was even the old emperor himself who announced the matter. His excitement about the princess giving birth was simply too much to ponder.

The first thing that happened was that the princess was canonized as Princess Deyi. This was a title that was usually used when canonizing a prince. Now it was so grandly added to the princess' head, and one look at it made it clear what the old emperor's intention was.

Immediately afterwards the child was also given a name.

According to the past practice, the child should have the surname Cheng after the prince-in-law, but the child was given the surname Song. Not only that, the word for seniority was the same as that of the great emperor's grandson, and then added "ding". With such care, everyone He said, this child is really precious.

Nearly 70% of the officials in the court had already acquiesced in the idea of ​​a female emperor in Da Sui, so they had no objections to the old emperor's actions.

Princess Qinghuan, who was in confinement, received an uninvited guest.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, so I came here just to ask the princess, where is Cheng's consort?"

The princess was a little reluctant to mention this person again, but she also knew that this was related to the lives of Pei Zifen's children and mother, so she could only put aside her past grudges and speak.

"I ordered people to find a small courtyard for him in Xuzhou. If nothing else happens, he should be there."

Xuzhou?

Xuzhou again?

Now a very strong thought popped into Pei Zichen's mind. Could they have been deceived? I used to think that the most innocent person was the one behind it.

He can be reborn, and so can A Nian. If not, there are others who can be reborn too!

If everyone knew their own ending, it would be understandable to change the situation if they wanted to break free, so his expression became a little solemn. Previously, he had been misled to target the Prince Chun's Mansion, but now, he turned out to be someone else. There is a planner…

Seeing the change in his expression, Princess Qinghuan also became suspicious.

"You mean, you suspect that Cheng Dengping is the mastermind behind it?"

"It's very possible that we have always known his identity and have always wanted to hide it, but what if he knew his identity from the beginning and planned every step of the way? We all have been plotted by him. He was guilty, step by step, until now, I even suspect that he still holds the handle on my father, so he can drive Uncle Nie to take away the children and my mother as a blackmail. "

"You mean that Mr. Pei has defected to Cheng Dengping?"

"It's possible. After all, Cheng Dengping is also the son of the King of Han. He is much better than the crown prince. After he found out about my resignation for my mother and Li, there is no guarantee that he won't want to give it another try, so he put his bets on him. , If it fails, Prince Chun’s Mansion will be the backstop anyway, but if it succeeds, then the Pei family will be able to follow the dragon.”

Pei Zifeng analyzed calmly and sorted out all the doubts he had had in the past few days. The more he thought about it, the clearer it became. Following his explanation, Princess Qinghuan also thought about the days she spent with Cheng Dengping. Could such a gentle, helpless and slightly melancholy person really be as Pei Zisu said?

She couldn't believe it, but Pei Zifeng wouldn't do anything based on baseless rumors.

Now that she has a child, she will have the opportunity to legitimately ascend the throne in the future. She will not and cannot let anyone ruin it, even if that person is her former pillow.

So he quickly adjusted his mood and gave instructions to Pei Zifan.

"Keep digging. I want to see if Cheng Dengping's acting skills are really that good. Even you and I can be fooled. Humph! He is actually more capable than Uncle Han!"

"Yes, but I still need to borrow someone from the princess!"

"who?"

"Mother of Cheng Dengping."

Princess Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Pei Zifan. At this moment, she felt that this person should not be underestimated. Even her father didn't know this secret, but he actually said it so directly, so her eyes were a little complicated, but after a while, she told the answer.

"The third house at the entrance of Qingshui Lane in the east of the city. When you knock on the door, knock quickly and slowly. The people inside will let you see them."

"Thank you princess."

After Pei Zifeng left, Princess Qinghuan slumped down on the imperial concubine's couch, her beautiful face now showing a little paleness.

Pei Zisu galloped towards Qingshui Lane.

He came in a hurry today, with only four guards around him. Just as they were passing through the city, someone had already arrived at that place early.

He knocked on the door with three fast and three slow knocks, but it was a kind-faced old man who opened the door. Seeing the familiar face under the black hood, the old man was a little surprised, and then said.

"Why are you here, Master?"

"Abo, where is my mother? Is she in the house?"

"Madam? Madam is in Xuzhou. Didn't you tell me to let the old slave come and clean up the place first, and then pick her up?"

As soon as the two had a conversation, Cheng Dengping suddenly realized that he had been deceived.

"No, I fell into a trap."

After saying this, he turned around to leave, only to see Pei Zifeng and his men blocking the door. Soon hundreds of crossbowmen surrounded the courtyard. Even if Cheng Dengping could hide and become invisible, he would not be able to escape. go out.

"Consort Cheng, there is no need to struggle. This game was originally done for you, so just let it go."

As soon as Pei Zifeng finished speaking, Cheng Dengping put down his black robe, showed his usual aggrieved and somewhat worried expression, and then said.

"As expected, it's General Pei who is more capable than others. He was able to find me so quickly."

"If you don't provoke my children and mother, I may not be able to find out about you. This is probably because the Skynet has not missed anything."

Hearing Pei Zifeng's words, Cheng Dengping burst out laughing.
