stern wife

Chapter 867 Don't Underestimate the Enemy

"Wait a minute!"

Pei Xiaoran stopped him with words, and said slowly:

"Has Your Majesty ever thought that since the Zhao family was accidentally left behind, the remnant of the Xizhao Kingdom, then... who knows, is there any other remnant?
In case there are other helpers or other accomplices around Mrs. Zhao, our actions will be tantamount to scaring the snake away.

And even if we kill both Mrs. Zhao and Pei Huayu, I am afraid that from now on, we will not be able to sit back and relax.

Only by killing all the people related to them can the peace of His Majesty and Suzaku be restored.

What does your majesty think? "

In the last life, Zhu Lianxi was killed inexplicably, and there was no time to investigate whether other than Zhao and others were involved.

Hearing what Pei Xiaoran said now, Fang felt that it made sense.

"Then...you mean, we want to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Pei Xiaoran nodded with a smile, and said:
"What they want is the throne and Suzaku, don't they? Just give it to them.

As long as they get what they want, they will naturally relax their vigilance and show their true colors..."

Zhu Lianxi was taken aback, but seeing Pei Xiaoran's expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

He hesitated:

"Let's not talk about whether these two things can be given, even if they are given, I'm afraid they won't believe it..."

Pei Xiaoran grinned, treacherous like a fox, and said:

"It depends on how your Majesty and I perform..."

Zhu Lianxi thought about it, but still felt something was wrong, so she asked:

"Is there no other way?
To gamble with the throne and Suzaku, I think it's a little risky..."

Pei Xiaoran shrugged, and said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhao has been submerged for so many years, but she still doesn't show any clues. One can imagine how deep her scheming is and how deep the city is.

She also bears the deep hatred of the destruction of her family and country. Under the burden of humiliation, her disposition is naturally different from ordinary people.

Just by looking at her willingness to marry Pei Xingshan, the enemy who led the army to attack Xizhao country, and to give birth to two daughters for him, one can get a glimpse of it.

Such a person will never give up until he reaches his goal.

Therefore, only after spending all her money, will she reveal her true colors and show her true cards.

Otherwise, Your Majesty and I will live in the shadow she left us for the rest of our lives..."

Mrs. Zhao plotted against Pei Xiaoran with her feelings, and plotted against Zhu Lianxi with her beauty.

Such a person who knows the weaknesses of others and is very good at making use of them, naturally Pei Xiaoran dare not take it lightly.

Looking at Pei Xiaoran's deep and distant eyes, Zhu Lianxi also recalled all kinds of past lives.

Indeed, if Mrs. Zhao was so easy to deal with, he wouldn't even fall for the trick.

He gradually realized the deep meaning of Pei Xiaoran's words, no longer raised any objections, nodded and said:

"You're right, so let's do what you say.

I believe in you, and I also believe that in this life, you and I will never repeat the mistakes of the previous life! "

Pei Xiaoran laughed.

It was only after taking a closer look that I realized that none of that smile reached my eyes at all.

Let the palace maid change to new tea, the tea tastes sweet and mellow, calming down, Pei Xiaoran began to discuss his plan with Zhu Lianxi.

This is the plan she has conceived in her heart for a long time.

It is only until today that the opportunity and conditions to realize it are finally available.

It was late at night when I returned to the palace where I lived.

After washing up, Pei Xiaoran dismissed everyone, including her closest sister, Sister Silkworm.

It was probably because Zhu Lianxi talked too much, which made her feel a little messy and bad for a while.

At this moment, she just wants to be alone and straighten out those messy things.

In the end, there was only one lamp left alone.

Autumn nights are cold.

The autumn wind is rustling, and the shadows of the trees are whirling, leaving strange and shaking black shadows on the window paper.

The black shadow is constantly changing, like a human heart, treacherous and unpredictable.

Before, Pei Xiaoran always thought that Zhu Lianxi had lived a new life, and still had the heart of using him, and had not changed.

But looking at today's performance, it's a bit different.

Then Zhu Lianxi seemed to be really scared by others.

Because of her sincerity and devotion in her previous life, she really trusted her, and really cared and loved her.

This was something she had longed for and worked hard for in her previous life.

But today, when I really got it, I just feel sad and ridiculous.

——Don't think that she will be moved by this man's so-called sincerity and trust.

Because his trust and true feelings are only the product of hindsight because of being deceived and betrayed by others.

In other words, if Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli hadn't betrayed him in the previous life, and he had been sitting firmly on the throne, if he grew old in glory—

Then the deaths of Pei Xiaoran and Pei's family were all in vain!

I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor, who is intoxicated with gentleness, can't even think about them...

So, what's the point of late tenderness and compensation?

It's like dealing with wounds, healing injuries, feeding medicine and acupuncture after a person dies...

No matter how hard the doctor is, how expensive the medicine is, and how wonderful the acupuncture is, what is the use?
Therefore, she is very calm now.

It's just that I finally figured out why Zhu Lianxi has been so 'enthusiastic' towards her since the first meeting.

There is also the matter of the Zhao family.

In ancient times, Israel has seduced emperors and kings, and in nine out of ten cases, they have ulterior motives.

It's just that she didn't expect that what Zhao and the others did was more absurd than she imagined.

It seems that the Zhao family is indeed the remnant of Xi Zhaoguo.

Moreover, it must be a member of the royal family of Xizhao Kingdom!

Otherwise, she wouldn't hate Suzaku so much.

I hate it so much that even if the imperial power is in my hands, I still choose to hand it over to others, so that the name Suzaku will completely disappear from this land!
And she destroyed the Pei family, firstly because the Pei family were all loyal and loyal, and her indestructibility was bound to be a serious concern to her.

The second reason is that it was none other than her biological father Pei Xingshan who led the army to defeat Xizhao!

Maybe Pei Xingshan will never think of it until he dies, the remnants of the royal family of Xizhao Kingdom that he destroyed often sleep beside his pillow at night, right?
Think about it, it's really a creepy thing!

Suddenly there was a 'click, click' sound outside the window.

Immediately, a gust of wind came, the windows were blown open, and the candles in the house were instantly extinguished.

Pei Xiaoran stood up, walked to the window and took a look, only to find that it was raining outside at some point.

The wind was heavy and the rain was rushing, and the window sill was wet in an instant, and the wooden window sashes were also flapped by the wind.

Pei Xiaoran wanted to close the window, but was blown back by the strong wind.

She was slightly taken aback, and then used some more force, finally closing the window tightly again.

For a moment, the sound of wind and rain became distant, and the house was still warm and peaceful.

Pei Xiaoran stood in front of the bed, looking at the shadow of the tree that was violently shaken by the wind and rain, his eyes gradually became firm.
