stern wife

Chapter 4 Wedge ④: Blizzard in June
The two imperial concubines are twin sisters. Pei Huayu climbed out of her mother's womb a little earlier than Pei Shuli, and became an older sister. She is also more mature and stable than Pei Shuli.

Pei Huayu raised her sleeve and gently pressed the corners of her eyes, tears seemed to glisten in her eyes, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, she is Chenqie's elder sister. Chenqie grew up with her. She originally wanted to serve His Majesty with her sister, but she didn't expect her... Chenqie didn't dare to plead for her. I only beg Your Majesty to allow Chenqie to send my sister away." The last journey is the end of the sisterhood between the concubine and the older sister."

The woman kneeling next to her quickly followed suit: "Your Majesty, this concubine also thinks so, I beg Your Majesty to help!"

Seeing the mournful faces of the two of them, Chidi said so affectionately, a touch of imperceptible touch and distress flashed in his eyes, bent down and raised his hands to help the two of them up, and said in a warm voice:
"Both of you are good. Without you, I wouldn't know that someone is secretly coveting my country, and that person is still my pillow!"

Having said that, his eyes darkened, and he glanced at the execution platform full of murderous intent and disgust, and when he looked at the two women in front of him again, his expression was gentle and kind:

"Of course I won't refuse your request. It's just that the traitor didn't succeed. He must be full of unwillingness and resentment at this time. You should stay away from her and don't be hurt by her."

The two women looked at each other, bowed shyly to the man together, and said in unison:
"My concubine, thank Your Majesty for your compassion."

After thanking them, the two sisters took their maids and guards and walked gracefully towards the execution platform.

On the execution platform, Pei Xiaoran was in the shape of bones, his body was covered with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, and he emitted a stench, which made people hide their noses in disgust.

When Pei Huayu saw the downcast appearance of her originally high-ranking sister-in-law, she couldn't help but feel a little joy in her eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the emotion disappeared, so fast that people couldn't detect it.

After all, Pei Shuli was a little younger than her, and the smug smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed at this time, so she could only hide the big smile at the corner of her mouth by lowering her head to cover her mouth and coughing lightly.

Seeing the two imperial concubines approaching, the Imperial Army hurriedly made way for them, not forgetting to remind them:

"The two noble concubines are worth a thousand gold, so please be careful."

Concubine Yu Gui nodded, lifted her skirt, and slowly walked onto the execution platform.

Immediately, some people in the audience also shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Mistress, be careful! Don't be hurt by that traitor!"

Pei Huayu paused slightly, looked down the stage, and smiled at the people who reminded her to show her gratitude.

The common people have never seen such a kind and amiable lady, and they all praised:

"The two empresses are really affectionate and righteous! For the righteousness of our Suzaku, if they weren't there, the traitor would have succeeded and brought the enemy's army to break in!"

"Yes! The two ladies are our great benefactors!"

"Alas...it's a pity that such a big sister is here, it's a disgrace and ruins the family, I'm sorry!"

The yelling sounded again, Pei Huayu was happy to hear it, but pretended to be unbearable, turned around, took the food box handed over by the maid behind her, and knelt down in front of the woman.

"Sister," Pei Huayu called softly, with a face of guilt and distress, choked up and said:
"I'm the one who's sorry for my sister, I'm damned... But I can't see my sister make a big mistake and turn a blind eye! My sister, my father died fighting for Suzaku, my brothers did the same, and our ancestors of the Pei family... I I can’t let their spirits in the sky feel sorry for them, and let them watch the country they desperately guarded be destroyed by my sister’s ambition! So... sister, if you blame me, just blame me!”

Pei Xiaoran slowly raised his head, looking at the pear blossom and rainy beauty squatting in front of him, his eyes were like an ancient well, motionless.

She is dying, so what are these two pretending?The gloating people in their eyes can't see it, and she is so close, can't they also see it? !

Looking at these two younger sisters whom he has always protected and loved since childhood, Pei Xiaoran only felt strange for a while, and even felt as if he had never known them before.

"Sister, I brought some of your favorite food here. When you are full, go on the road with peace of mind. I will burn incense and paper for you every day, so that you can live well down here."

After finishing speaking, Pei Huayu opened the food box and took out a bowl of meat porridge from it. Qianqianyu picked up the porcelain spoon and fed it to her.

Pei Xiaoran clenched his teeth.

Pei Huayu seemed to have known that she would refuse, so she withdrew her hand and persuaded softly:
"It's better to be a stuffed ghost than a starved ghost. I know my sister hates me, but why should my sister have trouble with me?"

Pei Xiaoran ignored her hypocrisy, and slowly said word by word in an extremely hoarse voice:
"why?"

Why did you do this to her?She asked herself, she had never done anything against their conscience!

On the contrary, she pitied them for their humble background, fearing that they would be bullied, and protected and let them be sisters of the same mother.

In the end, what he got in exchange was a whole family of beheadings? !

Pei Huayu sighed softly, lowered her voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"If my sister eats this bowl of porridge, I will tell my sister why."

Pei Xiaoran glanced down at the meat porridge in her bowl, loosened his jaw, and opened his mouth slightly.

The matter has come to this point, she can't recover anything, but even if she wants to die, she will die clearly!
Pei Huayu smiled triumphantly, and fed the porridge over spoonfuls.

The common people in the audience sighed again, and the praise was even more continuous.

Pei Xiaoran didn't have any appetite, but for the sake of the truth, he still swallowed the bowl of meat porridge.

After finally finishing eating, I just wanted to hear what the truth was, but I felt a heart-piercing pain, spreading from the esophagus like a fire!

Pei Xiaoran has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and has suffered both major and minor injuries. He was not afraid of pain at all, but this pain was a pain she had never experienced before!

Her face was distorted in an instant, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead in an instant, rolling down in big beads.

She opened her mouth in pain, wanting to howl, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound. All the severe pain could only be suppressed in her body, and she could bear it alone.

Pei Huayu gently helped her put down the hair that was tied behind her ears, so as to cover her extremely painful expression, then leaned into her ear with tears, and said softly with a smile:

"This is what your Pei family owes us, so naturally you have to pay it back one by one. However, you could have died without such pain, but who told him to say that?"

At the end, Pei Huayu's voice was full of jealousy.

he?Who is he?Emperor?
Pei Xiaoran was already delirious from the severe pain, and she couldn't hear the voice in her ear clearly, but with her last breath, she finally heard the whole sentence, but immediately, her consciousness also fell into chaos.

The people around saw that she lowered her head after eating the meat porridge, and then her whole body trembled uncontrollably, as if she wanted to break free from the shackles around her.

Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli made panic expressions at the right time and retreated together. The executioner was afraid that the crippled queen would hurt the two noble concubines, so he quickly raised the big knife in his hand, aimed at the back of the woman's neck and slashed it down——

Kacha-! ! !
A few extremely glaring lightning bolts suddenly flashed in the sky, and then darkened with lightning speed, the clouds were densely covered, and thunder rolled in, shaking people's hearts.

"what happened?!"

"Is it going to rain?!"

The people who watched the excitement were all startled, and rushed to find a place to shelter from the rain, but what accompanied the thunder fell was snow as heavy as goose feathers.

Snow in June, great injustice.

Click!

There was another thunderclap, which just hit the executioner's feet, causing him to scream in fright, the butcher knife in his hand fell to the ground, and rolled down the execution platform.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also hurriedly protected the two empresses to leave here, and ran quickly towards a safe place, their footsteps were messy, and their backs were in a panic.

This is the largest snowfall that has ever fallen in Suzaku territory.
