After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 152
The atmosphere in the palace became delicate. Not long after that, the Empress Dowager made many arrangements, including sending them out of the palace. Not long after, she heard rumors that the Hall of Compassion and Ning was sealed.

After that, half a month later, Prime Minister Pei, who was on good terms with the empress, broke into the palace with a knife, and died with a random sword.

On the same day, the empress dowager also died of illness.

And some people are speculating that this matter has something to do with the little emperor, but it is just speculation.

Even with the evidence, no one can do anything about it.

Sheng Lang investigated secretly, digging deeper from various clues.

Find out the relationship between Sheng Baoling and Pei Ci, find out about the little emperor's problems, find out about Pei Ci's affairs, and find out many things that he would not care about or care about before, but now he regrets too much.
The two had their own thoughts, as if they were testing each other, but also seemed to have nothing, the atmosphere was very subtle.

When Pei Wan came in, she saw such a scene.

The two looked at each other, but there was no lingering emotion in their eyes, and the affection she had seen before was completely gone.

She couldn't help being suspicious, and rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was wrong.

But this person in front of him is indeed Sheng Lang, if it's a fake, why did his brother go south and his mood changed so quickly?
These two people lost that kind of affection, although they should be happy, but for some reason, Pei Wan felt a little lost in her heart for no reason.

How can this man's feelings change without any sign?

"Brother, Second Master Sheng." Pei Wan walked in.

Pei Ci was still drinking tea, apparently not paying attention to Sheng Lang in front of him, even though he still had the same expression on his face, people with a discerning eye could still see the difference in attitude.

Elder brother would not drink tea alone like this when Sheng Lang was still around, without saying a word.

But what surprised Pei Wan was that not only Pei Ci had changed, but even Sheng Lang in front of him seemed to have changed. He looked at him in the past, although he was not close to others, but he was smiling. , makes people feel warm.

But now Sheng Lang in front of him is very alienated, completely alienated from everyone.

Pei Wan was suspicious immediately, is this Sheng Lang?
Or, is this the Sheng Lang I know?
At this time, Sheng Lang didn't know that the eldest girl of the Pei family who was standing not far from him had already noticed the clue, and she always treated people like herself.

In other words, he didn't even know that Sheng Baoling had a relationship with the eldest girl of the Pei family.

Once Pei Wan had doubts in his heart, he had to figure it out.

Now that he had doubts, he simply made a tentative conversation and asked, trying to get some words out of Sheng Lang's mouth to confirm his absurd doubts.

"Last time, Second Young Master said that he thought the pearl hairpin on Wan'er's head was unique, so he wanted to go back to the shop and buy it as a gift to Baodai's sister. I don't know where to find it?"

As Pei Wan spoke, he pretended not to look at Sheng Lang.

Hearing this, Pei Ci frowned.

Every time Sheng Baoling came to Pei's mansion, he was accompanied by him most of the time. When did Pei Wan have the opportunity to talk to her about such things.

If it's just a pearl hairpin, if you want to give it to Sheng Baodai, the most unique styles in Bianjing are all sent to the palace, why should she look for it?
But Pei Ci knew about this, but Sheng Lang didn't.

Sheng Lang hesitated for a moment, and said, "There are so many similar pearls and hairpins in the palace, so there is no need to look for them outside."

There should be no mistakes in the answer, but the problem is that Pei Wan has never said this to the previous Sheng Lang, that is, Sheng Baoling, and Sheng Baoling has never initiated a conversation with Pei Wan.

Not to mention Pei Wan jewelry.

When Sheng Lang said this, Pei Wan was stunned for a moment, surprised, then shocked, and more unbelievable.

If the Sheng Lang in front of her is not the Sheng Lang she saw before, then who is the previous Sheng Lang?

There is already an answer to this question.

However, Pei Wan couldn't believe it anymore.

Sheng Baoling was in the palace, being the empress dowager, how could she get involved with her elder brother, and how could she go out of the palace frequently?
There was too much confusion in Pei Wan's heart, but at this moment, she didn't think about anything, dared not think about anything, and even fled here quickly.

Seeing Sheng Lang's face now, she couldn't help but think of Sheng Baoling.

Thinking of what she thought Sheng Baoling was a man with her brother, she didn't know how to react.

Faintly empty.

Pei Ci's eyes fell on Pei Wan, and seeing her reaction, she knew what was going on in her heart, and now she should know that Sheng Lang from before was pretended by Sheng Baoling.

Pei Ci pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
Sheng Lang seemed to have noticed that Pei Wan's eyes were not right, but he didn't think about it.

He came here today to see what kind of person the person El Sister likes is like.

Is it worth it for my sister to use the last imperial decree that may save her life on the Pei family.

But Pei Ci looks deep, and he can't figure it out in his mind. He seems to have hundreds of shapes, and it's so simple that there is only this one in front of him. It's hard to fathom.

I can't see what kind of person he is at all.

Sheng Lang frowned in a rare way.

And in the evening of that day, Sheng Baoling who was in the palace learned that Sheng Lang had gone to Pei's residence.

Sheng Baoling, who had already suspected that his younger brother had something on his mind when he came back this time, couldn't eat right now.

She thought that if she could sense A Lang's emotions, she could at least be a competent elder sister, but at this moment, she couldn't even see through her brother's thoughts.

How useless.

"What are you thinking, ma'am?"

Sheng Baoling sighed slightly, "A-Lang has grown up and has something on his mind, and he has started to hide it from me, my sister."

Jian Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "The second son and the empress are clearly the same age, how come in the eyes of the empress, they are children, as if they are a few years behind."

Sheng Baoling stuffed a frozen fruit, and said after a while, "Look, Ah Lang, you should be younger."

When she saw A Lang, she couldn't help but look like a big sister. She always felt that Sheng Lang was still a child, a child who couldn't grow up.

But suddenly, his temper changed, and he grew up all of a sudden.

When Sheng Baoling thought of this, he sighed slightly.

"Now, he doesn't even know what he was thinking about before, and he doesn't know what he's thinking about now."

What's so good about staying in Bianjing City?
There is a ridiculous little emperor, and the impersonal Shengfu is not as clean and self-cultivating as that temple.

Sheng Baoling thought to herself, if she could, she would like to go to the temple to clean up since she was a child, and forget about being an aunt.

Jian Jia smiled, knowing that Sheng Baoling was worried about the second son. After all, this son hadn't returned home for many years. When he came back this time, he suddenly said he couldn't leave. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed to have encountered something and made a sudden decision .

But it's really weird, and it makes people have to think deeply.
