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

Chapter 124
The little emperor's hand stopped at the joint between the edge of the human skin mask and the flesh of his neck.

It looks like it will be revealed at any time.

Qiu Yi didn't dare to show her air. At this moment, she clearly sensed that something was wrong with today's little emperor. No matter how he used to be, he would put on some clothes, but today it seemed that his nature was exposed.

Seeing him like this, no one is not panicked, especially Jian Jia.

Jian Jia only felt her neck was cold, as if she had been entangled by a snake. At that moment, she didn't even dare to take a breath, and kept holding her breath.

Facing the gaze of the little emperor, she realized that she had already been exposed
Today, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this catastrophe
Jian Jia almost closed her eyes, facing the coming storm.

But just when the little emperor's fingers were about to pinch the edge of the human skin mask, there was a sudden commotion outside.

All of a sudden, he interrupted his movements.

It was King Jing, who saw the servants in the palace, and guessed that the little emperor was here, visiting in private, and his safety was really worrying.

Therefore, Jing Wang has been waiting outside, as if ready to break in at any time.

The little emperor frowned, he was worried about his own safety, but it was all false rhetoric, but, being disturbed by King Jing, today is not the best time to act.

He let go of his hand, with a deep smile in his eyes, but with a chilling smile, he said caring and caring words on his mouth, "The queen mother is here to cultivate herself, and the son is going outside to talk to brother Wang about himself." talk."

When the little emperor let go, Jian Jia seemed to be reborn, and when the little emperor walked out of the room, she couldn't hold on anymore, her legs were sore and limp, and she slumped on the ground.

Qiu Yi on the side hurried forward, seeing Jian Jia's pale face, cold sweat slipping from his forehead, and asked worriedly, "How are you?"

"Where did you get hurt?"

Jian Jia gasped for breath, her face was really not pretty, she put her hand on Qiu Yi's arm.

It seemed that just now, the little emperor was really frightened.

Maybe Qiuyi didn't feel the feeling of dying when he stood aside, but Jianjia seemed to have walked before the gate of hell. If King Jing hadn't gone and returned, today, no one here would be able to escape. One dies.

After Jian Jia calmed down a little, she tightly held Qiu Yi's hand with her fingers, "I'm afraid the officials have found out."

She has always been steady and calm, but today, that calmness is disappearing bit by bit.

Hearing this, Qiu Yi's face was serious, "Are you sure?"

Although she also had the same guess as Jian Jia, if the little emperor knew that it was not the empress who was here at the moment, why didn't he expose it directly, instead he was playing with them?
Qiu Yi couldn't understand this point, and because of this, he was not sure whether the little emperor had discovered that Jian Jia was pretending to be a concubine.

"I'm sure." Jian Jia's palms were wet, and she even suspected in her heart that he had noticed it as early as the first time she pretended to be a concubine to meet the little emperor.

And for such a long time, he has been watching from the sidelines without revealing it, just watching the empress leave the palace frequently, and it is even possible that he knows exactly where the empress went after she left the palace.

But this time, Niangniang followed Mr. Pei to the south. I'm afraid he already knew about it, but he just kept pretending not to know.

Thinking about it this way, Jian Jia felt that the little emperor was a dangerous person, at such a young age, with such deep thoughts and such forbearance.

Even the empress has been kept in the dark.

At this time, she even suspected that the little emperor would set up an ambush and assassinate Master Pei on the way to the south, and take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of the empress.
Jian Jia bit her lip, I'm afraid this time, it's really troublesome.

At this time, King Jing had already brought the little emperor back to the palace safely, and when he left the palace and returned to Prince Jing's mansion, his confidants had already sent the information.

"My lord, my subordinates found out that none of the people in the carriage that the queen mother left the palace that day was missing."

King Jing frowned, "Have you found anything else?"

The confidant hesitated for a while, but still reported the truth, "Someone saw that Sheng Lang from the Sheng family got into Mr. Pei's carriage and followed him south."

Logically speaking, this matter is not a big deal to report.

But the informant discovered that Sheng Lang had appeared outside the city again, and was heading towards the capital at this time.

It can be seen from this that Sheng Lang who got into Pei Xiangye's carriage was not the real Sheng Lang at all.

Everyone in Bianjing City knew that the Empress Dowager had a twin brother who was born exactly the same.

And it is self-evident who is the person who got into Pei Xiangye's carriage.

Jing Wang's face was solemn, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

It's not that he didn't realize that the harmony between Pei Ci and Sheng Baoling was because his father had already regarded Pei Ci as a confidant, so it was common for Sheng Baoling and Pei Ci to have a harmonious relationship over the years.

However, he did not expect that Sheng Baoling would follow Pei Ci's trip to the south, which was full of dangers.

Is it his illusion, but this has long gone beyond the general friendship between monarchs and ministers.

King Jing finally couldn't feel at ease, "Look up the past few years, and find out if there is any private contact between the empress dowager and the Pei family."

The subordinates knew what their master was thinking. They thought that the empress dowager was devoted to court affairs, but now, she had such close contacts with Mr. Pei, and secretly accompanied Mr. Pei all the way south in the name of going to the royal temple to pray for blessings.

This exchange is not a simple friendship between monarchs and ministers.

How can the prince rest assured.

"My subordinate understands."

After the subordinate left the study, King Jing looked down at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, his eyes darkened.

In the past few years, he had secretly asked about the Queen Mother's current situation several times in letters to Pei Ci, but Pei Ci returned few letters and never mentioned the Queen Mother.

At that time, because his father was in Beijing, it was inconvenient for his people to inquire about him, and he had no way of knowing anything about Sheng Baoling. Although he felt lost, he only thought that Pei Ci was a scruple about his identity, so he didn't say much.

But now, it doesn't look like that at all.

King Jing felt uneasy, wondering whether Pei Ci had his own selfish intentions in not saying anything about Sheng Baoling at that time.

Once a person has a hint of doubt, he can't help but think about other things. For example, back then, Pei Ci's jug contained water instead of wine.

For example, when leaving the banquet, Jian Jia who was next to Sheng Baoling sent warm hands. Although it was in his own name, but he was a martial arts practitioner and was not afraid of the cold at all. On the contrary, it was Pei Ci who took three steps and coughed twice.

Another example is Sheng Baoling's excessive concern for Pei Ci.

At the last birthday banquet, his birthday gift was not delivered because of Pei Ci's sudden appearance.

Many things that were not noticed at the beginning, but now that I think about it carefully, they are not the same thing.

The more King Jing thought about it, the more unhappy he felt.

He originally thought that Sheng Baoling didn't understand the relationship between men and women, so she couldn't understand the few times he made veiled advances.

But it turned out that it wasn't that she didn't understand, but that the person she was thinking of was not herself.
