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

Chapter 20 Sheng Baoling's Thoughts

Qiu Yi found that Sheng Baoling's eyes lingered on the person she deliberately picked for a long time, and her heart almost twisted.

It's fine if you really fall in love with him, although you can't get Mr. Pei, it would be great to have someone similar to serve by your side.

To comfort lovesickness.

Sheng Baoling glanced at Qiuyi invisibly, with an unclear expression in his eyes and a complicated heart.

Qiuyi might have misunderstood something.

"The one on the side, keep it." Sheng Baoling's voice was slightly dark.

Qiu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked over, the one on the side.
Not the one she picked.

Could it be that I was thinking too much?
Among the few people, when the one who spoke the least and kept his face down was left behind, he seemed a little surprised.

For the others that were not selected, Sheng Baoling ordered someone to send them away, and did not take another look at them.

When sending them off, Qiu Yi couldn't help but take another look at the little eunuch who looked like Pei Ci. Was it because the empress really didn't think so, or was this person not like him enough?
At this time, Sheng Baoling flipped through the gaps in the memorial with his fingertips, and asked the little eunuch who was left behind from time to time.

"How long have you been in the palace?"

The little eunuch kept his face down, knelt down, and said in a low voice, "Go back to the empress dowager, the slave has been in the palace for a year."

"Literacy?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this slave can read a few words."

Sheng Baoling responded lightly, "Get up, and stay in the Hall of Compassion and Ning from now on."

At this time, Qiu Yi walked into the hall slowly, Sheng Baoling called Jian Jia in a deep voice, and took the little eunuch to pack his bags and stay there.

Jian Jia faintly felt that her mother's mood was not right, but she was confused, so she could only take the little eunuch out of the Hall of Compassion and Ning.

As soon as Jian Jia left, Sheng Baoling raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Yi below.

Qiu Yi immediately knelt down, "I know my mistake! Please punish me!"

Sheng Baoling's eyes were calm and indifferent, and he was not angry, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Such an attitude inevitably made Qiuyi a little dazed.

For a moment, she didn't understand what the master meant, and hesitated for a moment, "Slaves shouldn't speculate on your mother's mind, let alone bring people here."

Qiu Yi didn't speak clearly, for fear that the walls might have ears.

Sheng Baoling remained silent for a long time.

For a moment, Qiu Yi felt a little uneasy.

After a while, Sheng Baoling said in a deep voice, "You are wrong."

She got up, walked down slowly, walked to Qiuyi's side, looked down at Qiuyi, "But it's not just the two points that were wrong."

At this time, Qiu Yi realized that he really couldn't understand his master's thoughts.

Sheng Baoling said in a low voice, "You know that your guess is wrong, so you shouldn't come here to apologize now."

There are a lot of eyeliners in the palace, if word spreads about a person who looks like Pei Ci among the talented people, and Qiu Yi pleads guilty after the fact, no one thought of this before, and now they should think about it.

If he really kept that person and spread the matter, regardless of his own face, it would even cause others to criticize Pei Ci.

Qiuyi was startled, and only now was she fully awake.

She only thought of finding a similar person, but she didn't think of other consequences.

"The servant realizes his mistake!"

Sheng Baoling suddenly felt a headache, waved his hand, and signaled Qiuyi to go down, "Go down, Aijia wants to be alone."

After Qiuyi left, the entire Hall of Compassion and Peace fell silent.

Sheng Baoling opened the box, picked out an incense pill from inside, and put it into the incense burner, until the familiar fragrance permeated the hall, and his heart calmed down a bit.

What Qiuyi did today really annoyed her.

Regardless of whether she has that kind of thought for Pei Ci or not, taking a step back, even if she really has some kind of thought for Pei Ci, she will never find a similar person by her side.

Such a move not only despises himself, but also humiliates Pei Ci who treats him so respectfully.

The little emperor didn't know much about every move of the Hall of Compassion and Ning.

But at this time, outside the palace, in Pei's residence.

Pei Ci half leaned on the bed, with a medicine bowl in his hand, the liquid medicine was warm, even smelling it, the bitter taste made people frown.

But Pei Ci, spoon after spoon, moved his hands and feet slowly, and his overly pale complexion made his whole person look like a fairy.

"My lord." The guard handed the news that the eyeliner in the palace had just delivered to Pei Ci.

There is not much to say in the letter, but what happened in the past two days.

The Empress Dowager lacked someone to serve the pen and ink, so I picked a few autumn clothes from the Hall of Compassion and Ning, and there was one of them, who looked a little like herself.

I can recognize a lot of words.

But the queen mother chose the most inconspicuous one.

Qiuyi then pleaded guilty to the empress dowager.

Pei Ci held the message with his fingertips and threw it into the brazier. Soon, the paper was burned to ashes.

He remembered that the Qiuyi who picked the man was the palace man who saw him walking with Sheng Baoling when he was at the palace wall.

Two days later, she found a person who looked similar to herself and sent it to Sheng Baoling.

Pei Ci's thumb and forefinger rubbed the string of Buddhist beads repeatedly, and the people around her were probably guessing her thoughts.

But excuse me, is the guess right, or is the guess wrong?

What is her mind?
Pei Ci's thin lips were tightly pressed, and for a while, he didn't even hear Pei Wan's knock on the door.

Pei Wan pushed open the door and walked in, "How do you feel today, brother?"

She flicked her eyes around the room, observing, wondering if there might be any clues that would allow her to find someone who could move this stubborn brother.

Pei Wan has always felt that when one is alive, one should have something to look forward to, and only with hope can one want to live even more.

And Pei Ci has given her the feeling that she has nothing to worry about in this world for so many years, and every time she gets sick, it seems that she wants to leave Pei's house completely.

He seems to be born with such a fickle temperament, no matter who he treats or what he does.

And two days ago, when he fell ill and fell into a coma, he tightly grasped the pistol, like a life-saving straw, which shocked Pei Wan, maybe this elder brother now has someone he cares about.

A person who can keep him in this world.

Now, what she has to do is to find this person, and if she can persuade him with good words, or give him a high-priced gift, then everyone will be happy.

But if she can't, as a younger sister, she can only be beaten unconscious with a stick and tied up, and tie the knot with her brother.

Pei Ci didn't know about the little Jiujiu in Pei Wan's heart.

"It's all ready."

Pei Wan snorted in her heart, she said that every year, but didn't she get sick every year?
It's getting worse every time.

She looked around the room and found that not only did she not find any clues, even the handwritten copy that had been kept on the bed at the girl's house was gone now.

Obviously, it was put away by Pei Ci.

For a moment, Pei Wan felt uncomfortable.

Could it be that this girl really looked down on her brother, which made him so cautious and lovesickly?
Pei Ci picked up the medicine bowl that had just been put down, and drank the remnants in it which had already cooled down, and the guards at the side hurried forward to take the medicine bowl and retreated.

Only then did Pei Ci take the booklet on the side, and opened it to read.

Pei Wan held one side of her cheek slightly with her hand, looked at Pei Ci for a long time, and asked abruptly, "I don't know where did my brother go that snowy night?"

Pei Ci's fingertips flicked the pages slightly.
