The wicked girl

Chapter 348 Dead End ([-])
The current situation is clear at a glance.

First, time is running out.

Second, it is menacing.

So what they are looking for now is bound to be a solution that can hit them with one blow.The best solution among them, of course, fell on Concubine Pei.She has been in the palace for many years, and she is in a high position, with the peacock print on her palm, so this matter is difficult to say but not very difficult.As long as it is deployed properly, it is not impossible to win.

But the possibility of losing is not to be underestimated, so Pei Guifei's hesitation was already expected by them.

It was just unexpected that Concubine Pei did not hesitate for too long, she had already made a decision after a while, and said: "If this is done, what do father and younger brother mean to help Xiao Shisan inherit the throne?"

Marquis Yong'an did not hesitate at all, upon hearing the words, he immediately said: "As long as the Pei family does not fall for a day, they will be loyal to His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince forever."

A promise may not necessarily become true when the time comes.But this time, being able to get such a promise is really much better than not getting it.Concubine Pei nodded her head and said in a low voice: "Things in the palace are like the situation in the court and the wild, changing rapidly, far beyond human control. If the matter is settled now, then my daughter should make arrangements for it.

"The matters in the palace will be left to the empress." Marquis Yong'an changed his address, but when Concubine Pei called his daughter, he called her empress in a respectful tone.

The mystery of this, I am afraid that the few people present did not understand it, and they immediately understood it.Ye Kui half-closed her eyes, thinking that after she had said all this time, there might not be much left of the sentimental relationship between Concubine Pei and the Pei family.When the matter is settled and the thirteenth prince ascends the throne, he is too young to govern in person, so he will be listened to by Concubine Pei, who will become the empress dowager at that time.

Once it reaches that time, no one can say how much people's hearts will change.It's not uncommon for anyone to see such a thing as a cunning rabbit.Even if the other party is Concubine Pei, who is also from the Pei family, they can't let go of their hearts.

"Father, you are polite." But this time Concubine Pei Gui seemed to deliberately not understand Yong'an Hou's words, she responded in a low voice, and then stopped talking.

The atmosphere gradually condensed.

Now that the matter has been spread out, there is naturally no reason to hide much savings. Taking advantage of the current time, the few people quickly analyzed in detail how Concubine Pei broke through in the deep palace After a while.

In Yong'an Hou's view, this matter is nothing more than whether it can be done cleanly, neatly and carefree.

But in Ye Kui's view, things are not as simple as they thought.

Emperor Chengzhen is the emperor, the devil who wants to drive the Pei family into the abyss, but he is also Concubine Pei's man, her husband, and the father of the child.

This alone can become the biggest obstacle.

It's not as easy as talking about it and doing it directly.Moreover, this matter is a rebellion, a great crime against the Nine Clans of Zhulian, and the pressure during it goes without saying.As long as one is not paying attention, maybe the one who dies is not the other party, but himself.

Concubine Pei's brows have never been relaxed since she made an agreement.

But they didn't even have time to think about it in the long run!And who cares if Concubine Pei Gui feels pain in her heart?Right now, all they care about is whether Concubine Pei agrees or not.Since she agreed, then she will not pay attention to what she thinks in her heart.

People are born to live without freedom.

Ye Kui sighed secretly, how can glory and wealth be such a good thing?If it weren't for these people one after another to use conscience, flesh and blood, fate...to stabilize it, where would the family come from in this world.

"The Pei family's army is no longer in the hands of the Pei family, what should be the strength of the army?" After discussing in detail for a while, Concubine Pei put aside the matters in the palace for the time being, and talked about an equally important matter.

Emperor Chengzhen thought that Pei Changge was dead, so he did not return the troops of the Pei family to Marquis Yong'an, but directly appointed his own people to take over.At that time, the battle in Cangcheng was not over yet, so it was understandable for him to do so, and it would not attract criticism from others at all.In this way, it was natural for Emperor Chengzhen to "forget" those troops and return them to the Pei family when Da Yue wanted to make peace with Amobi and the war ended.

That's why Pei Guifei asked such a question at this moment.

Of course, Marquis Yong'an and Pei Changge and his son had already made up their minds about this issue.

"Since we are preparing to do such a rebellious thing, we will need manpower. You don't have to worry about using soldiers, and you don't have to worry about military pay. Since we dare to do this, we can't take it as a joke." Pei Changge smiled Explain, but not exhaustively.

Ye Kui immediately understood when she heard the words, the two routes inside the palace and outside the palace must be two-pronged, but to be on the safe side, they couldn't fully tell Concubine Pei about some things.

Such a dishonest cooperative relationship does not seem to be an advisable behavior in Ye Kui's view.But Concubine Pei is worthy of being the daughter of the Pei family, and she also has the blood of Marquis Yong'an on her body, and her thinking mode is probably similar to theirs.After Pei Changge said this, she didn't look annoyed at all, but immediately said: "Okay, then let's think of a way to communicate."

It is not easy to pass information inside and outside the palace, so this is an unavoidable thing, and indeed it should be done immediately.

Ye Kui also knew that Pei Changge should have already arranged staff for this matter, and it should be directly from people like Cao Neishi who was beside Emperor Chengzhen.Eunuchs can come and go freely in the palace, and they are all people who serve their masters close to them. From these people's mouths, it is easiest to find what they want, and they are also the most suitable candidates for delivering news.

But it must be very difficult to completely buy these people into their hands.

So Pei Changge's affairs fell into a deadlock for a while.

"This matter is already under preparation, let's put it aside for now." Yong'an Hou shook his head, tapped his fingers slightly on the table, with a serious expression, and said, "If this matter is to be completed, I am afraid that the Xiao family will have to help."

Xiao family?

Ye Kui was startled, and then blurted out: "Are you going to find the prince?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.Since they have decided to support the thirteenth prince to the throne, what is the reason for going to find the prince?If it had been changed, Ye Kui might still have doubts about whether she was doing this to find a substitute or a shield for the thirteenth prince.But in the current situation, this is not suitable.

Sure enough, before she could continue thinking for a long time, Marquis Yong'an looked at her solemnly and said, "No, it's your grandmother."

——Xiao Yunniang's biological mother, Empress Xiao's sister-in-law, her grandmother Lin.

Hearing what Marquis Yong'an said, Ye Kui gasped, and asked in disbelief, "The Xiao family didn't leave Fengcheng, but my father always knew about it?"

Among the people present, except for the calm-looking Marquis Yong'an, the rest of the people were too shocked to even speak.

It is well known that Ye Kui's maternal ancestor is Xiao Sheng.But after what happened to the Xiao family, everyone said that Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Xiao who survived with difficulty, left Fengcheng with her young concubine and avoided the court far away.But who would have thought that they never left Fengcheng, but lived in seclusion in Chang'an Lane.

Ye Kui knew about this, and so did Pei Changge.

But none of them thought that Yong'an Hou knew about it.

And judging by his appearance, he definitely knew it all along.Unlike Ye Kui, because she wanted to know the whereabouts of the Xiao family, she finally found the clues after searching hard.At this stall, Ye Kui couldn't help but began to wonder if the Lin family and the young children were able to survive smoothly and then quietly disappeared from everyone's eyes and settled in Chang'an Lane. pass?

Marquis Yong'an looked at their surprised gazes without hesitation, nodded bluntly, and said in a deep voice, "I was the one who tried to put them down at the beginning."

After getting a clear answer, Ye Kui's heart suddenly dropped again.However, there was a feeling of emptiness rising rapidly from the place where the heart was originally suspended.Once again, there was an accident that she thought she had already controlled, and it slipped in a direction she didn't know in an instant.

"What is Father looking for Mrs. Xiao?" Concubine Pei Gui, who had no direct contact with the Xiao family, was the first to recover, "Is it possible that the Xiao family can help with this matter?"

Marquis Yong'an had a sullen face, and only uttered two words: "Military salary."

After the words fell, both Ye Kui and Concubine Pei showed a dazed look.Only Pei Changge's expression suddenly turned serious, he looked straight at Yong'an Hou, almost gritted his teeth and said, "What does that matter have to do with the Xiao family?"

that matter?
Which one is it referring to?

Ye Kui was puzzled.

After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of a very possible thing.

She had always suspected that there was some secret between Pei Changge and the vanished Nan Yun Kingdom, but she had never figured out anything crucial.But today, the words of Marquis Yong'an and Pei Changge's interrogation just now made her wake up.Because the Xiao family had long been cannon fodder in the political struggle of Dayue, she never paid attention to that direction.

But now that I think about it, when I set off to fight against Nanjun, it wasn't just Marquis Yong'an who went there.

General Xiao, who was traveling with her, and her grandfather were also among them.If there were really some secret things that happened back then, wouldn't he know nothing about it?

Judging from what Marquis Yong'an said just now that he wanted to find Mrs. Lin first, her grandfather probably knew about it.Moreover, there should be a secret that even Marquis Yong'an didn't know about, but it was mastered by her grandfather. Now, the secret that can be linked to the military salary needed by the Pei family for this operation may be buried in Lin's heart.

Ye Kui couldn't help but secretly startled.
