MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 171 What is your relationship with your wife?
Princess Showa invited her to the palace for dinner?
Although it was a little sudden, Wen Ning went back to Qinghui Hall to change her clothes, talked to Wang Qinsheng, and greeted the butler, and boarded the car with Linglan to enter the palace.
But I was a little nervous in the carriage.
The last time Princess Showa summoned her, she could still guess what her purpose was, but this time, she was completely at a loss.
It should not be for Pei You anymore. She has been married to Pei You for more than a year. If Princess Zhaohe was annoyed by this, she should have troubled her long ago.
Could it be that she was in a bad mood and wanted to find someone to resolve it?
Speaking of which, Princess Showa is indeed a little embarrassed now.
Already high above, it is not easy to make close friends. At this age, women of similar age have already married, and the children are all running around, so it is impossible to talk about going together.
When Pei You was not married, Emperor Jiahe also matched the two. After that, the marriage of Princess Zhaohe seemed to be put on hold, and it was hardly mentioned. Now the empress has another accident...
Wen Ning reckoned that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the princess also has her troubles.
Thinking of it this way, she felt a little more relaxed, and she was not so cramped.
It’s just that the father-in-law didn’t take her to Chaolu Palace, where Princess Zhaohe lives, but Chaoyang Palace, which is a little far away from Chaolu Palace.
"Ma'am, the heavy snow has just passed. The princess likes the rime in the Chaoyang Palace, and I specially invite you to enjoy it together." The father-in-law bowed respectfully, "Just go through the main hall and go to the backyard. The princess is waiting for you in the courtyard."
After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand to stop Ling Lan who was about to follow: "Madam, please forgive me, the princess only invited Madam."
Linglan had naturally heard the rumors that Princess Zhaohe was in love with the eldest son, and that Emperor Jiahe almost gave them a marriage. Now she was only worried that it was Princess Zhaohe who wanted to trouble her own girl. Anxiously, he hesitated to speak and looked at Wen Ning.
Wen Ning also frowned, but most people in the palace were like this. The last time I saw the empress, Linglan was also stopped outside.
Now she is still the wife of the prince of the Duke's mansion, and she was invited to the palace by Princess Showa in full view, so there should be nothing wrong with her.
Wen Ning gave Linglan a comforting look, and said the same thing as last time in Fengyi Palace: "It's snowing and cold, please take my maidservant to the side hall to wait for you, father-in-law."
"Madam, don't worry, the slaves know about it."
Wen Ning also clenched the heater in her hand, and stepped in.
There were no palace people in Chaoyang Palace, but the palace lanterns were lit.
Wen Ning was very curious, she had the impression that Chaoyang Palace was idle. When I just returned to the Duke's mansion, the sky had already started to darken. At this moment, the outside was already covered by night. Princess Zhaohe asked her to enjoy the rime with her here?
It's late at night, do you have to hold the lanterns?
Just as he was thinking so, in the empty hall, there was a sudden sound of porcelain breaking, followed by a sharp shout: "Pei Huaisheng, what do you mean by saying that?!"
-
There is actually a secret prison in the Duke's Mansion.
When you reach such a status, there are always some "extraordinary matters" to deal with, and to deal with these extraordinary matters, it is inevitable to use some extraordinary methods.
Initiating lynching or something is not a crime in such a family.
After arresting him for half a year, Tu Bai knew how cunning and treacherous Mr. Yi was. After leading him back, he immediately put him in a dark cell. Yu Ren, he watched it himself, waiting for Pei You to come over.
And Gu Fei over there reported that sentence, followed by: "Tu Bai has already put him in a dark prison, waiting for the crown prince to interrogate himself."
Pei You's face darkened a little bit with the naked eye, and the chill in his eyes was almost overflowing, and he didn't go to Wutong Lane: "Go back to the house."
This dark prison is not on the bright side, so naturally it will not pass by the light, but there is another way.
It was already winter, and it had only snowed outside. In this dark prison, it was almost bitterly cold.
The door of the cell was opened, and a gust of cold wind swept in, followed by two people.
Pei You's official uniform was still on, and his already quiet eyes looked even more serious, especially after he glanced at the young man sitting on the ground with a big face.
The master chair was prepared long ago, Gu Fei went to pour hot tea when he came in, and when Pei You sat down, he also happened to put a cup of tea by his hand.
Pretending to be safe on the ground, Yichun, who was about to freeze into a sieve, finally came to the Lord, and yelled "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" with a white cloth in his mouth.
What a **** bad luck!
Who did he provoke? !
Last year when Yichun Garden was massacred, he was able to receive the news in advance and slipped away completely unscathed. This time, he stumbled and was caught back to the capital by that humble guard.
Thinking of this, he gave Tu Bai a hard look.
Tu Bai was also rude, and stared back fiercely.
An insidious and cunning person, catching him is harder than catching a loach, and the reward order is out, and it took him half a year and several rounds to finally get him back!
Pei You took the teacup in hand, his eyes slowly fell on the person in front of him, and he was not in a hurry to speak.
"Um..." Yichun didn't have that much patience.
Quickly remove this white cloth that is in the way! The most valuable thing in Yichun is his mouth, as long as he can open his mouth to speak, he will be able to save the day and get out of danger.
Pei You didn't hide the blade in his eyes, he glanced up and down two or three times before giving Gu Fei a look.
Seeing this, Tu Bai hurriedly said: "My lord, this man is eloquent and tells a lot of lies. Don't be easily fooled by him, lord."
Pei You lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea: "No problem."
As soon as the white cloth was removed from his mouth, Yichun yelled: "My lord is an official of the third rank, why can't I get along with a little Yichun? Yichun has long since retired to the Jianghu, and doesn't care about the affairs of the Jianghu, let alone the affairs of the court. My lord has now taken me into captivity. I can't give you the news you want!"
"That's not necessarily the case." There was not enough candlelight in the dark cell, Pei You slightly lowered his eyes, and the small mole on the side of his nose was hidden in the dark, no trace could be seen.
He leisurely put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Yichun again.
The eyes at this moment are quite different from when they first came.
When I first came, there were sharp blades in my eyes, but now my eyes are dark and dull: "You only have one chance, life or death depends on whether you are honest or not."
He twirled the finger on his thumb, looking at him as if he were looking at a dead object: "What's your relationship with your wife?"
-
The voice of the princess?
Although Wen Ning didn't have much contact with Princess Ronghua, she could still recognize her voice after being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for two lifetimes.
Then there was another man's voice, which was much lower than the previous one, so that she couldn't hear the content clearly.
But Princess Chang just said "Pei Huai Sheng", isn't it the name of Duke Pei?
Wen Ning was in a dilemma for a while, how could the eldest princess be here in the Chaoyang Palace, which had been vacant for a long time? The eldest princess and Duke Pei are strangers in the Duke's mansion, so why did they quarrel in Chaoyang Palace?
Why did Princess Showa invite her to the Chaoyang Palace today, at this time? Could it be... She deliberately wanted her to come across this incident?
"What does the matter between you and me have to do with forgiveness?" Princess Ronghua's voice came again, "It's just a title in your Duke's mansion. If you don't want it, just return it to you!"
Excuse me?
Hearing Pei You's name, Wen Ning couldn't hold back, and moved slowly towards the side hall where the voice came from.
Today is Princess Ronghua's birthday.
As the first princess of the first emperor and the first princess of the middle palace, Princess Ronghua has enjoyed great respect since she was born. After getting married, Duke Pei Guo, who was still the son of the eldest son, obeyed the law and did not enter the court, but Dayin did not have any law prohibiting the princess from asking politics.
As Emperor Jiahe's direct sister, Princess Ronghua has an extraordinary relationship with Emperor Jiahe. After Emperor Jiahe came to the throne, she became his most trusted right-hand man.
Therefore, from birth to marriage, Princess Ronghua's every birthday is spent in a noisy and dignified manner.
But after the birthday party twenty-one years ago, she never celebrated her birthday again.
21 years ago, Princess Ronghua was mediating with various families for the girls' school. At the birthday banquet that year, the Duke's Mansion was full of guests, and no one noticed how and by whom the two-year-old son was taken away.
When everyone reacted, they found only a piece of paper with no beginning or end: "Since men and women have the same rights, the eldest princess might as well give birth to a daughter, and give the position of son to the daughter."
Since then, every year on her birthday, the Eldest Princess stays behind closed doors in the Buddhist hall, and the Duke's Mansion never held a birthday banquet.
Ronghua doesn't plan to celebrate any birthday today, but the emperor and empress are at odds, she has stayed in the palace for two days, this Chaoyang Palace was her residence before she got married, and she will stay here temporarily for the past few days.
But he didn't want to, Pei Huaisheng came.
"It was you who acquiesced in driving Na Ke out of the house that day. You know my temper, but if you say a word for her, I will not be so decisive." Rong Hua slowed down his tone, "If you read She, thinking of Pei Shao, just find a reason to bring them back. As long as they don't make trouble for Shu Zhi, I'm not helpless."
"The position of the son of the world does not have to be forgiven. I discussed it with you that day, and I acted like this when you nodded." Rong Hua sat at the chess table in the side hall, the anger just now dissipated, and he straightened his back again. The graceful and dignified eldest princess, "Shu Zhi may not be able to use the position of the son of the world now. At that time, it is up to you whether you want to give it to Pei Shao or Pei Ling."
Pei Guogong's complexion has never been ugly.
"You can discuss these matters with me at the Duke's Mansion. You don't have to come to Chaoyang Palace at night." Rong Hua no longer looked at him. She knew that when he came, the two of them would inevitably have a quarrel. Few people from Chaoyang Palace went out.
Pei Guogong smiled suddenly: "I will discuss with you in the Duke's mansion, will you pay attention to me?"
He looked at the eldest princess: "Ronghua, you have been chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha for so many years, do you think that child was able to be reborn?"
Snapped-
Rong Hua slammed the chess table, and the anger that had just been suppressed rose again: "Pei Huaisheng! You must have trouble with me today, right?"
Pei Guogong stood up slowly, the former Tanhualang's youth was gone, but his demeanor was still the same: "Ronghua, it's been twenty-one years, and in these twenty-one years, you want to enter the Buddhist hall, you want me to take a concubine, you want Guogong The mansion has a long line of descendants, and I will follow you. Even if you want to admit forgiveness and return to the Duke's mansion, if you want to drive Pei Shao out of the mansion, and Ke's family out of the mansion, I will let you. What do they have to do with me? As long as you're happy."
"But it's been twenty-one years, and you still refuse to let go."
Pei Guogong stared closely at Princess Ronghua, whose complexion was gradually turning pale: "I thought I would forgive you, because you have something in your heart, and you will gradually look away, but what about the truth?"
"Rong Hua, you stay behind closed doors in the Buddhist hall all day, are you really just angry with forgiveness?"
"You have avoided seeing me all these years, and you don't want to say a few words. Did I really do something to apologize to you?"
"No, neither."
"When you see me, you think of a lively and lovely child we once had, and think of the unrecognizable appearance of that child soaked in the water when it was finally found."
"You don't admit that he is dead, and pray for him every day in the Buddhist hall; you don't want to announce his death, or even find the murderer behind him, you just want to believe that he was just abducted."
"You know better than anyone else that Shuzhi is not that child. That child is not as lucky as Shuzhi. He crossed the Naihe Bridge 21 years ago and drank Mengpo soup. Only you still remember him. Don't let it go!"
Wen Ning stood in a daze beside the warm palace door, her whole mind was going to be confused.
She couldn't see the expressions of the eldest princess and Pei Guogong, but she could hear the conversation inside clearly.
What's the meaning…
The two-year-old lost eldest son of the Duke's Mansion passed away 21 years ago?
Isn't Pei You that kid back then?
Then who is he? Why did the eldest princess admit that he returned to the government? And why did she treat him as her own and show so much preference?
There was a crackling in the hall, it seemed that the eldest princess swept the chess pieces inside to the ground: "Get out! Get out of my house! Get out of my Chaoyang Palace!"
Wen Ning tugged at the sachet by her side, wondering if she should hide for a while, when suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder.
-
In the dark and cold prison, Yichun heard a rumbling sound——
Gu Fei heard a rumbling noise—
nothing but white ears, the same, rumbling—
The two looked at each other, no wonder! The quarrel with my wife was so violent half a year ago, I had to be angry for more than a month, and I put down my body to coax my wife back to her mother's house after being angry.
It was the same when he was looking for Mr. Yi, as if he wanted to dig out his bones even if he died.
It turned out to be...
It turned out to be Madam and him...
"You...you don't want to talk nonsense!" Yichun was the first to react, "Even if I am a person in the world, I still cherish my innocence! When did I have an unclear relationship with any woman? The one in your family is still a married woman , even if I am blind..."
With a bang, Yichun's words came to an abrupt end.
Good knife skills!
Gu Fei and Tu Bai exclaimed in their hearts almost at the same time.
I always knew that the son of the world was good at literature and martial arts, but I never saw him actually do it. At this moment, he was obviously extremely impatient with Mr. Yi, so he directly pulled out the dagger he was carrying and threw it at him.
Nailed exactly three inches above Mr. Na Yi's neck.
Yichun was about to break out in a cold sweat.
He looked at the person who was dressed in the official robe of a civil servant, but he didn't expect that he would use martial arts, so he threw the dagger at him.
If you are proficient, it’s fine, if you are not proficient...
He didn't dare to be serious anymore, and immediately sat upright and looked at the person coming carefully.
...
How could he not know someone who was once a smash hit in the capital!
It turned out to be Prince Pei? !
His wife is...
Warm, warm, warm, warm, warm...Congeal?
Misunderstanding! Big misunderstanding!
Who is Yichun? Immediately reacting, shaking the chained hand, he said: "Misunderstanding, Mr. Pei! What a misunderstanding! Me and Wen... I and Mrs. Zun are just customers! I don't know how the lord made the misunderstanding, misunderstanding and misunderstanding! "
"Really?" Pei You twitched the corners of his lips, "Your wife can talk, and Mr. Yi..."
His black eyes stared at him: "There is a very intimate past."
Extremely intimate.
Yichun’s ears: buzz—
In Gu Fei’s ear: Hum—
Bare ears: Hum—
Yichun is going to be in a mess, what and what, then Wen's Ah Ning is probably crazy!
Didn't he cheat her with thousands of taels of silver? As for harming him like this? !
"I didn't!" Yichun said indignantly, "You call her to confront her!"
And said: "You husband and wife are not in collusion, right? Don't look for me if you don't want to spend money to do things at that time. How can you go back and arrest people so slanderously after finishing all the things?"
Pei You remained calm, and still looked at him leisurely and indifferently: "Spend money to do things? Mr. Yi might as well tell me, my husband and I, what do you want to do?"
"Stop pretending!" Yichun couldn't bear it anymore, "Four thousand taels saved the lives of the master and servant of the Wang's house, isn't that the order Mrs. Zun went to Yichun Garden to find me?!"
