She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 53 Calm
Xu Shu didn't know exactly how the eunuch tortured and tortured him, and how Hu San was forced to submit with tears in his eyes.

In short, when she entered the basement where the prisoners were held the next day, Hu San had already changed into a suit of clothes. The parts of her exposed body were intact and there were no wounds, but her complexion was indeed haggard.

"His Royal Highness."

The old eunuch with a fair face and soft voice was very respectful to Xu Shu. He was brought back from the palace by Pei Peng to support him in old age. He felt that he was of little use and rarely came in handy. He just wanted to do things beautifully.

What he did was indeed very beautiful, and he forced Hu San to speak Chinese.

"His Royal Highness."

Hu San lowered his head reluctantly.

"You can also speak Chinese? You can speak it pretty well, since you were in elementary school?"

Hu Sanzi is really tall, but with his hands and feet handcuffed and sitting on the interrogation bench, facing Xu Shu's condescending gaze, he can only reply aggrievedly:

"Ah."

He glanced at the old eunuch again, and added:

"My mother has a Han slave in her hands... Oh no, there is a Han scribe who has settled in our tribe. My mother asked him to teach me Chinese."

"Yes, even if you are taught by someone, you are very powerful if you can learn like this. Your mother is also a very wise lady."

Hu San was not complacent because of the praise. With his status, he was not in need of praise from one or two people. However, when it came to his mother, he was a little worried.

His mother should have discovered his disappearance.

"His Royal Highness, the people on our grassland have always been straightforward. I can't beat your subordinates. I admit it. I was thinking of waiting for my parents to send someone to negotiate terms, but it turned out..."

He looked at the ruthless eunuch again, shook his head, and said in frustration:

"I can't play with you. Just tell me what you want!"

Xu Shu is curious:

"Didn't they tell you that I'm curious about the relationship between your tribe and the Tian family, and which tribe the one wearing the three earrings belongs to."

"I really don't know what the Tian family does. You may not understand that there are many forces within our tribe. Is it my father who secretly met your officials, or was it a private deal with other women and sons of my father, or even my uncle? Or cousin... In short, if you must know, then maybe I can ask my mother to inquire."

"As for the one who wears earrings, if you read it correctly, it should be Inujian. The men there are ranked according to the number of earrings. Those with three earrings are ordinary tribesmen. But Inujian just fought with other tribes a few days ago. There shouldn’t be time for this in Handi.”

Xu Shu got to know a new tribe. She secretly recited the name several times and memorized it. Seeing Hu San's expression of relief when he revealed everything he needed to reveal, he asked coldly:

"Then why did your tribe come to invade our Central Plains?"

……

Pei Wei's big wedding finally began to proceed in an orderly manner.

Nazheng's Yugui and Shubo are already quietly lying in Wang Shu's dowry box, waiting to return to the deep palace with her.

The other concubines who have been designated as concubines also have ornaments and cloths gifted by the palace, but they are far less precious and meaningful than the jade and silk bundles.

Originally, they were girls of the same age, or maybe close friends, but now they were constantly reminded of the difference in status.

A few days ago, the Wang family, which had been entertaining constantly, fell silent, unwilling to be troublesome at the most critical moment.

The entire imperial city was originally full of enthusiasm, but all the households restrained it in unison, like bubbling soup being poured with cold water, and suddenly quieted down.

After Pei Peng came to Beijing, she accomplished a big event, and she will be surrounded and flattered again in the social circle, but she has not forgotten her hidden worry before coming - will she really finish the empress's wedding in peace?
What consequences does the subtle reminder in Pei Rong's letter represent?
In fact, she has not been idle all this time, and asked the secret guards who had stayed in Beijing to collect information to focus on a few households.

She also opened a restaurant and teahouse in the capital. She originally wanted to supplement her family income, but accidentally discovered that these places were very useful for collecting information, so she specially arranged for a male servant who had all the property rights of the whole family in her hands to serve as a steward. He was always in the lobby. Stand and gather information.

When he came back this time, Pei Peng also took turns calling them over to see if he could find any clues.

All failed.

Even at Cheng Fei's place, Pei Peng tried to ask several times, but couldn't find anything.

Pei Peng already knew Cheng Fei quite well, knowing that she would not hide, let alone the ability to hide, it could only be that she didn't know.

Everything was so calm and natural that Pei Peng almost doubted her intuition. Could it be that those people really behaved?
Fortunately, the turnaround came quickly.

It was all thanks to her always useless prince-in-law that he rarely played a role.
