It can be said that these words revealed Queen Pei's complete selfishness, which completely angered her.
Queen Pei slapped the table hard and said, "You are so outrageous, are you scolding me?"
Before Pei Duqin could speak, the prince's voice came: "Who is so bold and dares to make the queen mother angry?"
Pei Duqin turned slightly, raised his hands and saluted, "Your Highness."
"Cousin, how many times have I told you that you and I are brothers, and there is no need to use these false etiquettes in front of me."
The prince was pretty good to his cousin Pei Duqin. While talking, the prince enthusiastically held Pei Duqin's arm.
"Xi'er, this cousin of yours is really incredible. Now he comes to question me for the sake of an outsider. I'm really angry to death!"
As she said this, Queen Pei covered her chest and looked like she was furious.
Pei Duqin took a step forward, cupped his hands and bowed his head: "Aunt Huang, please calm down. My nephew said the wrong thing. Aunt Huang taught me a lesson."
"Qin'er, you are my aunt's only nephew. No one will blame you for my aunt's blame. No matter what happens, you just need to remember that your aunt is doing this for Xi'er and the future of the Pei family.
You are the only cousin of Xi'er. When Xi'er successfully succeeds to the throne in the future, you will be the most capable minister beside him, assisting Xi'er to create a prosperous and peaceful age. You must never let down your aunt's kindness.
You work hard!"
Queen Pei grabbed Pei Duqin's wrist and looked serious.
Pei Duqin was extremely confused. Before he could answer, Queen Pei added: "Qi Jue will definitely start with the assassin and poison after taking this case. Although the assassin is dead, just in case, the tail will be given to him."
clean up,
The assassin only has one sister, and I have found out where she hides her sister. Qin'er, you set off and rush here immediately. You must eradicate the roots and not let anyone go. Do you understand?"
With that said, Queen Pei thrust a piece of letter into Pei Duqin's hand.
"I originally thought that this heart-eating Gu would definitely kill Qi Jue, but I didn't expect that Mr. Kong in his house was actually capable of detoxifying it. Since he failed to poison Qi Jue, that guy named Jing Gong,
You can't keep it any longer. This is the originally planned transaction address after the event is completed. Qin'er, take the people there and deal with them. All you need to do is cut off all the evidence.
Once the seven-day period is up and Qi Jue cannot find out the reason, Your Majesty will be completely disappointed with him, and by then, he will be completely finished without me taking any action!"
Pei Duqin looked hesitant, but Queen Pei didn't give him a chance to think carefully. After giving him the address, she just patted the back of his hand.
"Go, Qin'er, you have to remember that the success or failure of this matter is related to the future of the prince and the entire Pei family. No mistakes are allowed. Moreover, you also want your father to be reinstated and return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Right? Then do it properly and don’t let me down!"
Pei Duqin slowly tightened his palms and said, "Yes, my nephew is resigning."
"Mother, my cousin has been too upright since he was a child. If you leave the matter of killing people and silencing him to him, I'm afraid he will easily become soft-hearted. Why don't you let him watch the Dali Temple and leave the silencing matter to your son?
Where to deal with it?”
Queen Pei sighed, "I don't know his temperament, but he is the only legitimate son of the Pei family. Sooner or later, he will have to shoulder the burden of the family. If his hands are always clean, how will he be able to assist you in the future?
?
This time, let’s treat it as a training exercise for him. Besides, we can’t let Qin’er get in touch with the woman locked up in Dali Temple, otherwise it will really ruin our plan.”
The prince did not understand, "She is just a concubine that our Pei family does not want. Why should the mother be afraid of her? It just so happened that she fell into our trap this time. Why don't you take this opportunity and let me deal with her directly?"
, it’s also a good way to avenge the Pei family’s humiliation these days, what do you think, mother?”
"Don't worry, Yan Mingzhu will be killed sooner or later, but don't rush now. She is Qi Jue's only weakness now. As long as you hold her in the palm of your hand, Qi Jue will definitely be in chaos. Xi'er, all you need is this
Do……"
Queen Pei whispered the plan in the ear of the prince, and the prince showed a sinister expression, "I understand, my mother, don't worry. This time, I will give Qi Jue no chance to stand up!"
After the prince left, Queen Pei was not as happy as before. Instead, she sighed several times in succession.
Aunt Lu brought the tea to Queen Pei and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, drink some water to moisten your throat. Everything is going according to the original plan. Why are you still sighing?"
"It turns out that my sister-in-law came to me and talked about Qin'er and Yan Mingzhu. Originally, I didn't believe it. Not to mention that Yan Mingzhu was the concubine, Qin'er is the only legitimate son of the Pei family.
With the upbringing he received since childhood and the horizons he has been exposed to, he can't even look at those dignified and virtuous ladies from famous families, so how can he look at an abandoned woman? But just now, he came to intercede for the Yuan family.
I am not stupid. Is he really here for the Yuan family? He is clearly here for Yan Mingzhu. I am afraid that I will take this opportunity to kill Yan Mingzhu, so I even started arguing with me. From this point of view, Qin'er is
I really care about that abandoned wife!"
The only legitimate son of the Pei family, after going round and round, ended up falling in love with his brother's ex-wife. Even though Yan Mingzhu did not do anything that would bring down the Pei family, the relationship was only at the level of brother and sister-in-law.
If outsiders knew about it, I'm afraid it would make everyone laugh, and the entire Pei family would be completely reduced to a talking point for others to talk about after dinner!
"Give me the order. Once it's done, Yan Mingzhu will be dealt with. She will never be allowed to stay again. This will also completely eliminate Qin'er's unwanted thoughts!"
Aunt Lu lowered her head and said, "Yes, empress."
Inside the Tianlao of Dali Temple.
Yan Mingzhu followed the yamen servant extraordinarily calmly. The prison was surrounded by high walls on all sides. Walking in from the gate, there was a long and dark corridor at first.
As soon as I walked in, I could hear ghosts crying and wolves howling inside, making my scalp numb and hair-chilling sounds.
There were heart-wrenching cries and weird and unpredictable laughter. The lights on both sides were unstable, flickering on and off, stretching people's shadows extremely long.
Normally, if a person enters this heavenly prison, most of his soul will be scared away before he is locked up.
But this did not include Yan Mingzhu, and the yamen officer even looked back at her.
"You are one of the few women I have ever seen who is so calm. However, once you enter the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, your reputation will be completely ruined, and no one imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison will be released alive. You
It’s a pity that you are so young.”
Hearing this, Yan Mingzhu smiled and continued naturally: "Then I must be the first person to walk out of the prison unharmed."
