stern wife

Chapter 82
After hearing this, the corners of Pei Xiaoran's lips twitched slightly, it seemed that her primary goal had been achieved, and Emperor Chixuan had already begun to doubt Pei Xingshan.

With the poison that Pei Xingshan had someone smeared on the wall of her elder brother's bowl and the injury on his leg, it was not enough for her to fall into a coma, so she just pretended to be unconscious.

She lived in the palace in her previous life, so she knew that all the imperial physicians in the palace were masters at knowing poisons, even if the symptoms of the poison under Pei Xingshan were like wind and cold, the imperial physician would definitely diagnose it.

And the fact that their Pei family was not favored by the descendants has already been known by Emperor Chixuan.

So, who will Emperor Chixuan suspect first after he learns that she has been poisoned?
Heh, needless to say, they are naturally from Pei's residence.

But she is the legitimate daughter of Duke Wei, who would dare to poison her?

Since you dare, it means that there is someone behind the poisoner!

Needless to say, the one who has this ability must be Pei Xingshan, the Patriarch.

She also deliberately mentioned her desire to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in front of Emperor Chixuan, and Emperor Chixuan should think of her being able to keep Suzaku safe for 50 years.

And Pei Xingshan actually connived at the people in the mansion to poison her Suzaku's 'National Protection Talisman', what kind of intentions he had, it was obvious!
She is still too young to bring down Pei Xingshan, but it is still possible to plant a seed in Emperor Chixuan's heart that 'the Pei family wants to seek rebellion'.

Of course, she, her mother and brothers are also "Pei Family", but since she is prophesied to be Suzaku's "lucky star", it is impossible for Suzaku to bring disaster to Suzaku by treason, not to mention being loyal.

And Pei Xingshan was born as a concubine, and he didn't like her mother and brothers, but allowed her aunt to oppress her. In Emperor Chixuan's heart, they and Pei Xingshan were no longer a family.

Since they were not on the boat of Pei Xingshan, Emperor Chixuan could naturally reuse their lineage with confidence and boldness.

And this is her ultimate goal.

She knew that during the last palace banquet, Emperor Chixuan was already dissatisfied with Pei Xingshan for deceiving the emperor, otherwise, he would not have sent his elder brother whom Pei Xingshan didn't like to fight against Lu Wei.

But that was not enough, she had to bury this seed of doubt deeply in Emperor Chixuan's heart, and water and fertilize it from time to time, so that it could grow into a towering tree.

As long as Pei Xingshan's military power is not removed for a day, this towering tree will crush him to death sooner or later.

When the time comes, she, her mother, and brothers will not only be able to escape unscathed, but will even become the Holy Majesty's new favorite.

How can only one General Zheng Lu be enough?She also wants her eldest brother to inherit Pei Xingshan's title on the same level, so that everyone in Pei's mansion will not dare to bully them again!

However, what Pei Xiaoran didn't know was that the seed of "Pei's family wants to plot rebellion" had already been planted by Pei Wenchang's words of "killing the king" and Pei Xingshan's preference for favoring concubines and oppressing concubines.

Although Pei Xiaoran is a concubine's daughter, she doesn't pay much attention to the dignity of the concubines. She thinks that they are all human beings, and there is no need to distinguish them so clearly. Therefore, in her previous life, she treated the two concubine younger sisters as real sisters, and did not look down on them. Every penny.

But what she didn't know was that, in the eyes of Suzaku's ruler, concubine and concubine represent dignity, and order can make the country peaceful and peaceful, otherwise, everyone wants to be emperor, and everyone doesn't think of emperor , wouldn't there be wars and chaos everywhere, and the country will not be the country?
Therefore, Pei Xingshan allowed his aunt to bully his daughter-in-law and wanted to blame all the faults on his wife, son, and daughter, which was "excessively interpreted" by Emperor Chixuan.

Probably even Pei Xingshan himself didn't think about it, but because of his favoritism towards concubines and aunts, His Majesty was suspicious of him who had been trembling and cautious for many years.

Fortunately, Pei Xingshan didn't know what Pei Xiaoran was thinking at this time, if he knew, he would probably strangle her to death himself immediately.

It's a pity that he didn't know, but he immediately agreed without hesitation:
"Yes, I will definitely take good care of her, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Emperor Chixuan nodded, and gave some instructions to the female officer serving Pei Xiaoran, then nodded to King Li, and walked away.

Now that Prince Li's jade pendant has been found, and the tribute to Great Yin has been prepared, it depends on when His Royal Highness is in a good mood and is willing to leave for Great Yin.

Pei Xingshan followed Emperor Chixuan and went out to see him off. King Li stood up and wanted to leave too. After all, it was not appropriate for him to stay here as an outsider. of reputation.

However, just after taking two steps, he remembered something again, returned to the bed, looked down at the little figure on the bed, and called out:
"Pei Xiaoran."

Pei Xiaoran closed her eyes and pretended to be dead. Although she didn't really pass out, the poisoning and injury were real. At this moment, she felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't gather the strength to beat him up.

Seeing that the eyeballs under the little man's eyelids moved, but the eyes did not open, Li Wangmei narrowed her eyes slightly, and decisively stretched out two slender fingers to pinch.

Pei Xiaoran turned his head and bit hard at the claw that was pinching his cheek.

Li Wang withdrew his hand quickly, chuckled lightly, and said:
"Are you a dog?"

Pei Xiaoran opened his eyes and stared at him.

Seeing her resentful little expression, Li Wang was inexplicably in a good mood, thinking that this little hedgehog was the cutest when he looked so fresh, weak and pitiful, and not suitable for her.

"I don't know what else is there for His Royal Highness?"

Li Wang adjusted his expression and became serious and solemn.

Pei Xiaoran had never seen him with such a serious expression since meeting him, thinking that he had something extremely important to tell him, he couldn't help but become serious.

Li Wang said slowly:
"Just now, when you passed out..."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, his eyes were fixed on him, his ears were pricked up, just waiting for him to speak.

King Li lived up to her expectations and continued:
"It was this king who picked you up and sent you to the bed here."

Pei Xiaoran's serious face turned into a confused one:
"and then?"

"Then, you owe me a favor."

Pei Xiaoran: "..."

She was very sure that after she pretended to be unconscious, she never asked Li Wang to send her over by name.

Since it was not her request but Li Wang's voluntary, what kind of favor is it? !

Li Wang caressed the little snake wrapped around his arm, turning a blind eye to the contempt on the girl's face, and continued to say in a solemn tone:

"This is the first time this king has embraced a woman who has nothing to do with this king, so you should know how important this kind of favor is."

Sorry, she really doesn't have this amount.
