After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 164 Suspended Death
Empress Dowager Sheng intended to rebel, hijacked the emperor to order the princes, and Bianjing was in chaos. Fortunately, King Jing entered Beijing to put down the rebellion.

However, the emperor was dead, and King Jing ascended the throne with a blood edict and changed the year name.

The empress dowager has gone, but because of the crime of treason, she is not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum. The new emperor remembered the old feelings and sympathized with the Sheng family. He ordered the Sheng family to take the body away for burial.

The court has also stabilized a little.

For a moment, it was like returning to the year when Queen Mother Fan died.

Only this time, Prince Jing was not the first emperor.

Not even Zhao Mi.

a few months later

winter twelfth lunar month
People in and out of Pei's house seemed lively, but in reality there was no New Year's atmosphere, but because the Pei family and his wife were going back to Beijing, they started shopping.

As Pei Wan walked, she ordered people to bring in the new year's goods bought by Du, and asked, "Is the genius doctor leaving?"

The steward replied, "You haven't left yet, the nobleman is talking with the genius doctor."

Pei Wan nodded slightly, "Father and mother will be back tomorrow, I'll go see my brother."

The butler looked at the figure walking away, and sighed slightly in his heart. In just a few months, the eldest girl has become more and more like the head of the family.

Thinking about it in the future, if you marry into the Marquis of Weiyuan, you will be able to handle it freely, and you won't be as worried as your lord used to be.

Just looking at it like this can't help but make people feel distressed.

A few months ago, there was chaos in Bianjing, and even the dragon chair was replaced by another person.

Your lord went to the palace overnight to escort him, but he suddenly fell ill, and was sent back the next day, dying.

Fortunately, the genius doctor found by the government was able to save his life. It's just that he has been in a coma for several months and has not yet recovered.

The Pei family is in such a difficult situation, the eldest girl can only support the entire Pei family by herself, fortunately there is a noble person to help, otherwise she doesn't know what will happen next.

It's just that the chaos a few months ago was said to be the Sheng family's rebellion, but a few people knew in their hearts that this was not the case.

From this period of time, the identity of the nobleman who stayed in Pei's mansion can be seen.

What's more, if the Sheng family rebelled, Sheng Gong would not be reused by the new emperor now.

It's just that, for the sake of the new emperor's face, he can't say anything.

When Pei Wan walked to Pei Ci's courtyard, she heard the sound of conversation coming from inside. It was the genius doctor who was teaching the follow-up acupuncture and moxibustion treatment.

A clear and cold female voice sounded, "I will trouble the doctor today."

"It's not troublesome, but girl, take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

Pei Wan walked in, only to see that the genius doctor had picked up the medicine box and was about to leave.

"The miracle doctor is leaving?"

The miracle doctor smiled and stroked his beard, "Master Pei's body is fine, the old man is going to leave naturally, why don't you stay here and celebrate the new year with you children?"

Pei Wan smiled slightly, "Why not, my parents will be back tomorrow, and I want to thank the divine doctor face to face, and ask the divine doctor to stay for two days."

However, in the face of Pei Wan's persuasion, the genius doctor smiled and waved his hands, "What I fear most in my life is these vain gifts, there is no need to give them away, and there is no need to give them away when I leave."

With that said, he picked up the medicine box and carried it on his back, and left straight away.

In the courtyard, all of a sudden, there were only two people left.

Looking at the person in front of her, Pei Wan still didn't know what to call her. A person who was supposed to die appeared in Pei's residence and took care of her elder brother.

This confirmed all her previous guesses.

It's just that now, she doesn't know at all whether she should call her "the empress dowager" or "the grand lady".

Seeing Pei Wan staring at her, wondering what she was thinking, Sheng Baoling raised her eyes slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Pei Wan come to her senses, "Just now the genius doctor said, let you take care of yourself, I will watch over you today, you should take a rest first."

Ever since his elder brother was sent back from the palace, Sheng Baoling has been taking care of him by his side, never under the guise of others.

Sheng Gong quietly came to persuade him once or twice, but it was useless.

But what worried her more was Sheng Baodai.

On weekdays in the mansion, he watched Sheng Baoling dangle in front of him, saw Sheng Baodai, but listened to her cry in front of him, feeling sad for his big sister who died wrongfully.

Sheng Baoling twitched the corners of her lips, looked back, but shook her head, "It's okay, I want to come to the mansion today to be busy, I'll leave tomorrow."

Pei Wan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I met Bao Dai today, and she said that the Qi family proposed marriage to her."

Sheng Baoling was slightly taken aback, the Qi family?

"It's Qi Jun." Pei Wan said.

Sheng Baoling: "." If she remembers correctly, Qi Jun is a round older than Bao Dai.

Seeing him being so steady and gentle, he never thought that he would miss such a little girl.

Seeing Sheng Baoling's reaction, Pei Wan told the story again, "It was Baodai who went to see Qi Jun to investigate your affairs. The two came and went, and Qi Jun was moved."

"It's just that the Qi family came to propose a marriage. After Sheng Gong found out, he turned his face without saying a word, and directly threw the Qi family out. He even said that if Qi Jun was on top, he didn't need to save any face, just threw it out."

"Bao Dai is naturally unwilling to accept this marriage because of you, but I can see that she is not heartless to Qi Jun."

The Qi family is very popular now. I don’t know how many people in Bianjing are thinking about the marriage of the Qi family, not to mention that Qi Jun is a celebrity in front of the officials. Although he is older, there are benefits of being older, and he will love others. no?
Naturally, Sheng Baoling could understand what Pei Wan meant. If she didn't show up for a long time, Bao Dai might miss such a good marriage.

It's just that she didn't react when she listened.

In the past, Baodai's favorite was King Jing, but King Jing married a daughter of the Qi family, who is the current queen.

But how did Baodai fall in love with Qi Jun from the Qi family all of a sudden?

This change is so great that people can't get over it.

Sheng Baoling said in a deep voice, "Don't rush, take your time."

If Qi Jun is sincere, he can wait a little longer. Marriage is not a trifling matter.

But Pei Wan thought of something else, just now the genius doctor said that her elder brother is fine and will wake up in a few days, so what about Sheng Baoling, is she leaving too?
She frowned, a little sad, obviously, she made a mistake earlier, the one who had been dealing with her brother was Sheng Baoling who disguised herself as a man, so it was Sheng Baoling who pleased her brother.

If at the beginning, it was because of the identity of the queen mother, who stood in the front, what about now?
The queen mother is dead, and Sheng Baoling is no longer Sheng Baoling.

Her ability to take care of her brother in this way is enough to show her affection for him.

In this way, will the two be able to be together in the future?

When Pei Wan thought about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Before you said that you would leave when brother woke up, do you still think so?"

Sheng Baoling did not expect Pei Wan to ask herself such a question, and did not answer for a long while.

Finally, under Pei Wan's gaze, she nodded slightly.
