The story of Princess Shouning "learning rules" was no secret, and it soon spread. It naturally also came into the ears of Mrs. Yong'an.

The more Mrs. Yong'an Marquis thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She whispered to Yong'an Marquis in a low voice: "...Master, why did the emperor treat Princess Shouning like this?"

The haze flashed in Yong'an Hou's eyes and he snorted lightly and seriously: "Why else can you do it? Isn't someone instigating him behind the scenes!"

Yong'an Hou is well-informed and has already found out the real reason behind this matter.

Emperor Xuanhe would not take Princess Shouning to the second prince. But Princess Shouning was disrespectful to Empress Pei, which angered Emperor Xuanhe. Therefore, Emperor Xuanhe punished Princess Shouning so severely!

After hearing the whole story, Mrs. Yong'an changed her expression and gasped: "What method did this Pei Wanru use to make the emperor confused!"

A few years ago, when Emperor Zheng was most favored, Emperor Xuanhe loved the house and Wu and particularly favored the eldest prince.

At present, Emperor Zheng has completely lost his holy heart and the eldest prince’s momentum has greatly reduced.

Empress Pei took advantage of the situation and was favored by the emperor. The position of the central palace became more and more stable... But what's so annoying is that the second prince and Princess Shouning did not get any benefits, and were punished one by one.

However, the Sixth Prince made his mark and became Emperor Xuanhe’s favorite prince.

When the Marquis of Yong'an heard this, his face became more and more gloomy.

He really took a look!

He did not expect that Pei Wanru could confuse Emperor Xuanhe, and his influence on Emperor Xuanhe was far beyond his expectations.

In the past, he was deeply trusted by the emperor and was a favorite minister. Over the past year, Emperor Xuanhe has become much more indifferent to him. The number of times he was summoned to the palace to accompany him has also decreased dramatically.

This is an extremely bad sign.

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an did not know the thoughts of the Marquis of Yong'an, and she still complained in a low voice: "...Princess Shouning is the eldest princess born from the legitimate family. Now she is decent and has no idea how many people are watching Princess Shouning's jokes behind their backs. Pei Wanru was calm and honest in the past. Now she is in power and has never taken our Pei family seriously at all, and she doesn't even do some face skills..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Yong'an Hou interrupted Mrs. Yong'an impatiently: "The name Pei Wanru must not be mentioned again in the future. You think your life is too long and you are tired of living! Be careful of the ears of the wall!"

This is her dormitory, with two close maids guarding outside. The idle people cannot get close to her at all, so why are they afraid of "there are ears in the wall"!

Mrs. Yong'an clasped her lips disapproved and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a strange sound from outside the door. It was the sound of turning around and hitting the door in panic.

who?

The faces of the Marquis of Yong'an and Mrs. Yong'an changed, and they shouted in unison: "Who is it?"

Who dares to eavesdrop outside the door?

The footsteps outside the door stopped, and after a while, a trembling and familiar girl voice sounded: "Father, mother, it's me."

It was Pei Xiu!

...

Mrs. Yong'an Hou stepped forward with a tense expression and opened the door.

The girl standing outside the door was wearing a goose yellow silk skirt, and her pretty face was strangely pale. Her pair of lively black eyes were filled with fear and horror.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou reached out and dragged Pei Xiu into the dormitory, pushed it to the door suddenly, making a bang.

"Why did you come suddenly? What did you hear outside the door just now?" Mrs. Yong'an Hou clasped Pei Xiu's wrist tightly and used great force, causing pain in Pei Xiu's wrist.

Pei Xiu was in pain and pulled back with force, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

Mrs. Yong'an held her hands tighter and leaned closer, with a cold light flashing in her eyes: "A Xiu, tell me quickly, what did you hear just now?"

Yong'an Hou did not say a word, and stared at Pei Xiu with a sinister gaze.

Pei Xiu's whole body trembled constantly, biting his lips hard, and his lower lip made a deep mark. He opened his mouth, and his voice was filled with a crying voice: "I didn't hear, I didn't hear anything."

She came to pay tribute to her mother. Occasionally she became naughty and deliberately sneaked out the door, trying to make a sudden sound, scaring her mother.

Unexpectedly, her father was there too. She was curious for a moment and put her ear on the door panel, and then she heard something that made her scared.

The father and mother seemed to be talking about the empress in the palace.

But isn’t the Queen’s boudoir name Pei Wanqing? Pei Wanru... it is obviously the name of Cheng Jinrong’s dead mother. How could a person who has been dead for many years appear in their mouths?

What's going on with all this?

Empress, is it Pei Wanqing or Pei Wanru?

In a panic, she subconsciously turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the noise was noticed. The unusual reaction between her father and mother made her more and more panic. She kept murmuring: "I really heard nothing."

The Marquis of Yong'an and Mrs. Yong'an looked at each other, and their hearts sank at the same time.

Pei Xiu really heard everything!

Yong'an Hou said coldly: "A Xiu, no matter what you hear, you forget everything and cannot mention it in front of anyone. Otherwise, it will cause death."

Pei Xiu had a pale face and his whole body trembled.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou softened her voice and whispered: "A Xiu, you are still young and don't know that people's hearts are sinister. Some secrets should not be known to you. Listen to your mother's words, forget everything that happened today, just pretend that you have never been here. You don't know anything. No matter when, where or in front of anyone, don't mention the three words Pei Wanru."

It seemed that something was blocking Pei Xiu's throat.

Pei Xiu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, so he just nodded.

She heard nothing.

She didn't know anything.

The empress in the palace is Pei Wanqing, not Pei Wanru.

...

After this day, Pei Xiu fell ill.

Pei Zhang was on duty in the palace every day, and he mostly went back to his house to rest. After two days, he learned that Pei Xiu was sick. He went to visit him specially. Pei Zhang was shocked when he saw this.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Pei Zhang frowned and asked Mrs. Yong'an in a deep voice: "Why is her face so flushed?"

Pei Xiu's face was flushed and his eyes closed and he fell asleep with a sick look. At first glance, he was really sick.

I was fine a few days ago, why did I suddenly get so sick?

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was always guarding Pei Xiu's bed and sighed when she heard this, "The weather was suddenly cold two days ago, and she suffered a cold. She had been having a high fever these two days. She had taken the medicine and had a fever subsided. But after a few hours, the high fever started again. I was really worried, so I had to keep guarding her."

At this moment, Pei Xiu muttered vaguely.

Pei Zhang was keen on his ears. When he heard this, his expression changed suddenly. He suddenly looked at Mrs. Yong'an: "Mother, what is the illness of my sister? What does her meaning mean when she said 'I don't know anything'?"
