stern wife

Chapter 871 Mutual Computation
Thus, Pei Xiaoran was like a drowning man who managed to grab a piece of driftwood, clung to her tightly, and refused to let go.

"Huh? It's Aunt Zhao! Please come in!"

As soon as the little maid at the door saw Mrs. Zhao, she greeted him with a smile on her face, and welcomed him in with great enthusiasm, without even needing to inform her.

Because Pei Xiaoran said a long time ago that as long as Aunt Zhao comes, he will take her to see her directly, and must not let Aunt Zhao wait.

"Is the lady up yet?"

Zhao asked casually.

"Get up, it's just..."

The little maid sighed halfway through speaking, and said:
"Just go and see."

Zhao Shi nodded, and soon came to Pei Xiaoran's bedroom unimpeded all the way.

Pei Xiaoran did wake up and wash up, but he didn't change his clothes.

The thin silk clothes are covered on the warm and jade-like skin, casual and lazy, the long hair has not been combed, and the person is still lying on the bed, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

There were several light and refreshing breakfasts beside him, but he didn't take a bite.

Mrs. Zhao walked over and tested the temperature of the fish porridge with her hand, and it was already completely cold.

Zhao Shi also sighed.

She sat on the side of the bed, looked at Pei Xiaoran's depression, and said softly:

"Your Majesty should also get up. Lying like this all day will make you useless."

When Pei Xiaoran heard her voice, he opened his eyes and sat up with force.

Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, she immediately sneered and laughed at herself:
"So what if it's useless? Anyway, it's useless, so it's better to use it up.

Save yourself... being suspected of ulterior motives all day long, so be on guard against me..."

"My lady, don't say such things."

Mrs. Zhao called the palace maid and asked her to bring a new breakfast, and then continued:
"Even if it's for her own family, the empress should take good care of her body.

Otherwise, if the family members know about it, they will definitely worry about the empress. "

When family members were mentioned, Pei Xiaoran's expression suddenly became darker.

"I don't know what's the use of having a daughter like me. My mother is sick, and I can't go back to accompany her, and I can't even... even take a look at her.

Xiaoran is not filial, can't be filial, let down the kindness of mother's upbringing..."

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly appeased:

"Your Majesty didn't do it voluntarily, did you? Your Majesty was forced to do it, so don't worry about it."

It's okay if she doesn't comfort her, once comforted, the sadness on Pei Xiaoran's face instantly changed to resentment.

She punched the bed board hard, gritted her teeth and said:
"I, Pei Xiaoran, am worthy of the sky above, worthy of the earth below, and worthy of thousands of people of Suzaku in the middle.

From childhood to adulthood, I have worked hard and diligently, never dared to relax a little bit, and never had a half-hearted heart!
Do everything by yourself, take the lead in the battle, disregard life and death, and bear the pain alone.

Why did he end up like this in the end?
If loyalty will only bring suspicion and harsh treatment, then I really don't know who else would dare to be loyal to him and Suzaku..."

After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes dejectedly, with a gloomy expression on her face.

Zhao's face also became serious.

But under the slightly drooping eyelids, there are eyes full of calculations.

In the beginning, Zhao Shi also suspected whether Pei Xiaoran was deliberately acting for her.

After all, Pei Shuli has done so many stupid things to offend Pei Xiaoran, how could Pei Xiaoran not mind, and even feel sad for her death?
Could it be that Pei Xiaoran wanted to use this to get close to her and get out her details?

After all, her identity is indeed haunted, and her thoughts are indeed not good. It is normal to have more doubts in a guilty conscience.

In addition, she has been suspicious and cautious since she was a child, otherwise, she would not have been the only member of the royal family who survived the catastrophe of the royal family of Xizhao Kingdom.

So, at the beginning, she didn't believe Pei Xiaoran at all.

But as Pei Xiaoran was dismissed and imprisoned in the palace, Zhao's suspicion was dispelled bit by bit.

If it is said that these are all for Pei Xiaoran to set out her details or plot against her.

Then the price Pei Xiaoran paid...was too high.

What's more, Wu Shi's illness is a real thing. She has asked someone to find out, and the possibility that Pei Xiaoran is just acting has been ruled out.

Zhao finally felt relieved.

She was so grateful to Emperor Chixuan for his early abdication.

Otherwise, Pei Xiaoran would not have been pulled down from the altar so quickly because of the 'Great Master', giving her a chance to implement the plan.

certainly--

She hadn't forgotten that it was Emperor Chixuan who ordered the destruction of Xizhao country.

Even if he has abdicated, after she gains power, she will never let him go!
Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said:
"How about this, I'll go back and take care of your mother on your behalf.

If you have anything to say to your mother, I will take it there and tell your mother.

Since you can't get out of the palace, then I'll be your eyes and your hand.

It can be regarded as repaying your sincerity to Shuli. "

Hearing this, Pei Xiaoran sat up all of a sudden, looking at Mrs. Zhao with a complicated expression.

Then, like a child, she threw herself into Mrs. Zhao's arms and burst into tears.

Zhao's eyes were cold.

She felt that a person like Pei Xiaoran should not have a sentimental heart.

It just drags her down and makes her weak and incompetent.

To be honest, even she felt a little pity watching the once radiant sun lose its radiance and fall to the bottom of the sea.

However, now, she is very fortunate that Pei Xiaoran has such a weakness.

Otherwise, she really didn't know how to take advantage of it.

And she was calculated and manipulated by herself, and she could only blame Pei Xiaoran for her obvious weakness.

No wonder she.

Zhao's voice was soft and deep:
"Good boy, don't cry, God is watching your sacrifices, and it will never let your sacrifices be in vain.

Just rest assured that everything will be fine. "

Speaking words of comfort that even she didn't believe, Zhao shi gently wiped away the tears from Pei Xiaoran's face with the handkerchief in her hand.

Pei Xiaoran nodded, hugging her tightly, trusting her immeasurably.

After Pei Xiaoran calmed down, Mrs. Zhao left here with what Pei Xiaoran wanted to say to Mrs. Wu, and the gift she had prepared for Mrs. Wu.

"Xiaoran, aren't you afraid that Aunt Zhao will harm Madam in order to intensify the conflict between you and Your Majesty?"

After Mrs. Zhao left, Silkworm turned out from behind the screen in the corner and asked with a worried face.

At this time, Pei Xiaoran, where is there any gloomy look on his face?
Hearing this, he said coldly:

"Aunt Zhao will definitely use this kind of dirty trick.

Therefore, I have already communicated with my father, let him take good care of my mother, and strictly guard against Aunt Zhao. "

Since the Wu family and Pei Jianbing got married, Pei Xiaoran's name for Pei Jianbing changed.

This is her support for her mother and her recognition of Pei Jianbing.
