The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 182 Never had a mother, where did the mother come from?

  The eighteenth year of Jiahe, the first month.

  Everyone in the capital knows that although Prince Pei was found and returned to the Duke's Mansion, he has been wandering abroad for many years, and his relationship with the mansion is not close.

  Since he raised a famous concubine in Wutong Lane, he has been in and out of Wutong Lane, and rarely returns to the Duke's Mansion.

  So that evening, the person from the palace knocked on the gate of Wutong Lane.

   "My lord, the queen empress invites my lord to meet you in the palace."

  Seeing the Lord, the palace servants held whisks and saluted respectfully.

  Pei You didn't hide the coldness between his brows, and even hid a bit of hostility, staring at the palace man in front of him, without saying a word.

  He didn't speak, and the palace servants didn't dare to get up.

  Although Emperor Jiahe abolished the empress a month ago, no one knows that the empress has been favored by the empress for decades, unmatched by anyone in the harem.

   It was just a momentary quarrel, and Emperor Jiahe impulsively decreed to abolish the empress because of his extreme anger. The empress still lives in Fengyi Palace, and everyone in the palace still calls "Empress Empress", no one dares to neglect in the slightest.

  At this moment, the empress wanted to invite people, so naturally she didn't dare to treat them lightly.

  Pei You stared at him coldly for a while, and called out, "Tu Bai."

  The man in the palace saw a man with a strong figure leaping out of the air, and knew that this was a hidden guard with martial arts skills, so he immediately wondered: "My lord..."

   "Are you still going?"

  The palace people knew that Prince Pei was becoming more and more perverse, so they didn't dare to say anything. In the winter, they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and led people into the carriage.

  Emperor Jiahe had a quarrel with the empress, but he was not in a happy mood after all, so he went to the palace alone to recuperate during the New Year's Eve.

  There is no master in the palace, but the palace is even more solemn.

  There is a tea room in the Fengyi Palace. In the past, the empress first entered the main palace, and often invited the wives and family members who had made good friends into the palace to drink tea and chat. The Fengyi Palace was often full of laughter.

Even the old palace people who have served the empress for a long time can't tell. Since when, the empress with a bright smile gradually smiled less, gradually stopped entertaining friends, and gradually became dignified and reserved. The appearance of the mother of the country.

  The tea room has not been used for a long time, and it is rare that it has not been contaminated with the smell of herbs in Fengyi Palace.

  Although it is evening, there are still strands of setting sun shining in, making the tea room warm and bright.

  Xie Nanzhi dressed quite formally today, with full makeup on. She looked beautiful, with a luxurious temperament, and she didn't look sick at all.

  She knelt and sat right in front of the tea room, and there were three exquisite teacups on the wooden tray in front of her, apparently for drinking tea.

  Pei You was also kneeling. Although there were only two people in the tea room, he was not close to Xie Nanzhi. She was directly above the tea room, and he was at the door of the tea room directly below.

   Sang Liu knelt forward with the brewed hot tea, filled it up for the two masters one by one, then put down the teapot, lowered her eyebrows and nodded, and stood quietly aside.

  In the tea room, there is a fresh fragrance of tea.

   There was a moment of silence.

  Pei You lowered his eyes, his pure white face was boundless and cold, and he didn't seem to intend to raise his head to look at the person opposite him.

  Xie Nanzhi kept looking at him, with warm eyes, as if hiding a bay of shallow water.

   After a long time, she lowered her eyes slightly: "You should complain about your mother."

  Mother queen? ? ?

  Wen Ning's consciousness trembled violently, and she suddenly jumped out of the dream, becoming a little more awake.

"Yu'er, you are as smart as you, and if you can find out your identity, you must have guessed why your mother sent you away." Xie Nanzhi smiled, maintaining the dignity that should be expected when entertaining guests, "You were born The timing is really bad."

"Your father's accession to the throne is still young, and the Xie family is the only one, with the empress on top, and the general of the hussars, and your grandfather used to be good at specialties..." Xie Nanzhi looked at Pei You with a faint look in his eyes. Hong, "Yu'er, the Xie family is no longer valuable, and there must be no more His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

  Since ancient times, the aristocratic family and the imperial power have complemented each other and restrained each other. The Xie family has been around for a hundred years, and in the Jiahe dynasty, Xie Changyuan was the head and assistant, and Xie Nanzhi was the empress of the dynasty, and she was also a very favored empress. Xie Nanci made outstanding achievements at a young age, and was loved by the people. Half of the people in the world have the surname Xie.

  If there is another prince at this time, once the balance between the imperial power and the family is lost, there must be a fight.

  Pei You didn't raise her eyes, but curled her lips: "The empress is really dignified and virtuous."

  Xie Nanzhi's hand holding the teacup shook, some tea spilled out of it, and wet her clothes.

  She didn't realize it, she took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and when she looked up again, her face was calm.

   "You'er, this is your fate, you can't blame anyone."

  Pei You's brows and eyes were even lower, a slight smile trickled from his lips, but the hands beside him were clenched into fists: "So empress empress, why are the ministers here?"

   "As smart as you, didn't you guess it?"

  Xie Nanzhi raised her slender chin, "Fubingwei, Jingjiying, Jinwuwei, who else can mobilize these three parties at the same time, except your father and me?"

  Pei You's eyelids twitched, and finally raised his head. The dark eyes were not cold, but a rare crimson.

"I made preparations when I gave birth to you. If it's a baby girl, it's the best. If it's a boy baby, I'll replace it with a baby girl and stay away from the capital." Xie Nanzhi's face was very calm. There was also no disturbance, "It just so happened that your father was away on an expedition, and the eldest princess gave birth ahead of schedule, and I was allowed to do whatever I wanted in the palace. It's just that there was a little accident when I sent you out of the palace."

"That day, a magistrate came to Beijing overnight to report on his duties. He didn't know that your father was not in the palace. It can be regarded as safe and sound, but you have appeared." Xie Nanzhi's soft voice was cold, "He will not be able to live anymore."

   "You'er guess who he is, right?" Xie Nanzhi said in a clear voice, "Wen Tingchun, who was appointed as Minister of Honglu Temple, three years ago, I planned the sudden death of the Prince of Ryukyu with poisoned alcohol."

   "I think you can guess the reason."

   "The Xie clan has been around for a hundred years. Don't kill the whole family because of my crime of stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix. Any place that may go wrong must be sealed."

  Pei You's forehead was beating: "What about the Wangs? What does the Wangs have to do with this matter?"

"I sent you far away to Lingnan, and I originally arranged a place for you." Xie Nanzhi said, "Unexpectedly, the war in the south continues, and you can only follow the ups and downs. The Wangs said they adopted you halfway, but I don't feel relieved .”

   "You want to take someone's life just because you are worried?"

   "Your, the Xie family has nearly a thousand lives, just three insignificant untouchables, what's the point?"

  Pei You's blush eyes have turned dark red: "Where's Wanggui Village? Wanggui Village is far away from the secular world, why was it brutally slaughtered and the bones piled into mountains?!"

"Your teacher is the former Grand Tutor Cao Bin. He retired for many years. Why did he accept you as his first apprentice? Why did he send you to His Majesty?" Xie Nanzhi's eyes were cold, "Cao Bin had a teacher with Wen Tingchun in his early years. Tu Zhiyi, I think the two of them have secretly communicated with each other and know your identity."

   "Even if the teacher knows a thing or two, he will slaughter the whole village, leaving no one alive, not even a toothless child?!" Pei You stood up suddenly, his eyes seemed to be bleeding.

  Xie Nanzhi also stood up, but she was not in a hurry, elegant and calm.

  Gentle face, only cold and persistent eyes: "Since ancient times, who has made great achievements, who didn't step on the bones and stain the blood? It's just a group of innocent people. How can the life of my Xie family's heroes be worth anything?!"

  Pei You laughed lowly twice, and staggered back two steps.

   "You are worthy of being a queen, you are worthy of being loyal and filial, and you are worthy of being a queen who puts little righteousness into consideration for the overall situation! Why didn't you just strangle me to death when you gave birth to me? Wouldn't it be more clean and tidy?!"

   "I..." Xie Nanzhi choked up, some tears welled up in his eyes, and he swallowed them again.

  Pei You turned around and left, Xie Nanzhi quickly followed.

   "Yu'er, wait a minute, let me see you." Xie Nanzhi hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "Let me take a good look at you."

  Pei You looked disgusted, and shook off her hand without hesitation.

   "Your!" Xie Nanzhi called out with a choked voice.

  Pei You has already stepped out of the tea room.

  The night covered the palace heavily, the teahouse had long been replaced with candles, and the lanterns at the entrance of the hall had long been lit.

   When Xie Nanzhi called, Pei You stopped at the door of the tea room.

  He did not go forward, but he did not turn back.

   "Your." Xie Nanzhi no longer had the cold, ruthless and superior look just now, her voice was a little choked up, "You...is it possible...to forgive your mother?"

  The lamp candle pulled out Pei You's slanted shadow, illuminating his back in an obscure manner.

  He still didn't look back, just sneered slightly: "I haven't even had a mother, where did I come from?"

   No more words, just walk away.

  Is it the empress?

   Is it the empress?

  Wen Ning wanted to take another look at Xie Nanzhi, but found that she could only follow Pei You on foot like the wind. I don't know why, but I can feel myself crying even though I don't have a physical body.

  It's sad.

  The person closest to me was slaughtered by the person who should have been closest to me

  She seemed to be a little confused between the Pei You in her previous life and the Pei You in this life. Just thinking about what Pei You had experienced, she felt heart-wrenching.

  On the night of the first lunar month, layers of snow began to fall.

  She followed Pei You all the way back to Wutong Lane. She saw Pei You walking quickly to the gate of her courtyard with her fists clenched, and then stopped suddenly.

  At that time, in order to avoid him, she would turn off the lights and go to sleep early at night.

  He stood in front of the quiet courtyard for half an hour under the goose-feather snow, then turned and went to his study.

   There is no light in the study.

  Wen Ning suddenly remembered that Wang Qinsheng was gone in this life, no one cleaned and arranged his study, and no one lit the candles for him in advance.

  There is no candle, and he does not light it.

  He sat alone in the empty study, neither sleeping nor reading, letting the snow on his body melt little by little.

  Wen Ning couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

   Too dark, snowy night, no moonlight.

  She sat with him from night to dawn.

  When the sky was brighter, she thought, he should be better, and he should be recovering.

  Go and check Pei You.

   Go check it out again, it's just the Empress's one-sided opinion.

  Maybe...Maybe there is some misunderstanding in the middle?

   Just as he was thinking so, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

  The door of the study was pushed open in a panic.

   It's Gu Fei.

  His entire face was snow-white, he hurried into the room, and without looking up at Pei You, he knelt down directly: "My son! Empress Empress...hanged herself to death in Fengyi Palace last night!"
