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

Chapter 26 Want to see Pei Ci
Sheng Baoling's heart was in severe pain, the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe, and the snow outside the window was still heavy, she hugged the bloody clothes tightly, crying uncontrollably.

Hot tears fell on the bloody clothes, merging with the dried blood.

The window was opened at some point, and the icy snow and wind poured in from all directions, like countless knives, scraping off the skin and flesh along Sheng Baoling's muscles and bones one by one, and the pain was so painful that he could no longer feel it...

"Why don't you rebel...why don't you rebel..."

A fishy sweetness welled up her throat, the bracelet of Buddhist beads was stained with blood, the light in front of her eyes gradually dimmed, and all the strength in her body seemed to be taken away at this moment.

Outside the hall, the wind and snow were blowing, and the chill shrouded the entire Miyagi.

Footsteps sounded, and the palace servant brought the dinner into the palace. With a "snap", everything fell to the ground. The palace servant screamed, his face was pale, and he scrambled, "Come on, come on!"

The guards outside heard the movement and rushed into the palace. On the bed in the palace, there was a woman with white hair and clothes stained red with blood. The kind and kind queen mother who was loved by the palace people had long since died. , all holding the bloody clothes in their arms.

There was a whimpering sound, and the noise made my ears hurt, and my heart hurt all the time.

Sheng Baoling woke up in a dream, her pajamas were soaked in cold sweat, her face was pale and ugly, as if she hadn't woken up from the nightmare just now.

It was clearly a dream, but the hysterical pain still lingered in my heart for a long time.

Jian Jia, who heard the movement outside, walked quickly into the hall, but saw that Sheng Baoling had already got up to change her clothes. The pajamas she had changed were soaked in sweat, and there was a look of worry in her eyes. She stepped forward to comb Sheng Baoling's hair.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?" Seeing the tired look in Sheng Baoling's eyes in the mirror, it was obvious that he hadn't slept well these days, Jian Jia said.

This is such a nightmare every day, I can't sleep well, I am afraid that something will happen to my body sooner or later.

Sheng Baoling glanced at himself in the mirror, but through himself in the mirror, what emerged in front of his eyes were the scenes in his dream just now.

The man tied to the rack was bloody and bloody, and the flesh on his body was cruelly cut off piece by piece...

A bloody skeleton remains of a highly praised face, beyond recognition.

Sheng Baoling couldn't breathe for a moment, bit her lip, "Jian Jia."

Jian Jia was stunned for a moment, then stopped to look at Sheng Baoling.

Sheng Baoling said in a deep voice, "Bring that blue robe over here."

Jian Jia understood, the blue robes were in the style of men's robes, and there were a few of them in the hall, which Sheng Baoling would wear when he went out of the palace to Pei's school.

But the school had been closed a few days ago, and the old pedant Qin had returned to his hometown to celebrate the New Year with his family. Now, the empress is obviously not going to attend a class, but is probably looking for Mr. Pei.

Jian Jia thought of another thing, "But I heard that King Jing has gone to Pei's house for the past few days. If I go now, I am afraid that I will meet His Highness King Jing."

At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Jian Jia originally thought that, having said that, Sheng Baoling would definitely not leave the palace again today, but unexpectedly, Sheng Baoling just said "no problem".

For a while, Jian Jia didn't know what to do.

Although the empress seems to be in a better mood every time she comes back from the palace, she is not as dull as in the palace, and sometimes she can sleep more peacefully at night during the few days she comes back.

But it's always going out of the palace, and it's not a solution. If someone finds out one day, what should I do.

Those ministers of the DPRK and China are the most able to speak with one mouth.

How will the empress deal with it then?

Moreover, the empress has a noble status, and she has no personal protection outside the palace. What should she do if she meets someone who doesn't know what to do?

But even though Jian Jia thought a lot, she still put on a human skin mask, put on Sheng Baoling's clothes, pretended to be Sheng Baoling, and stayed in the bedroom.

Sheng Baoling left the palace by the path he always walked.

What the two of them didn't know was that the moment Sheng Baoling came out of the palace, there was already an eyeliner in the palace delivering the news.

When Sheng Baoling appeared near Pei's mansion, Pei Ci, who was originally handling official business in the mansion, had already received the news.

When she came out of the palace, Sheng Baoling didn't think about what she was doing in Pei's mansion, but that dream was so suffocating and uncomfortable that she still hasn't recovered from it.

As soon as he closed his eyes, what appeared in front of him was Pei Ci's bloody appearance, and his heart began to panic inexplicably.

This kind of panic drove her to want to leave the palace, to come to Pei's residence, and to see Pei Ci.

She didn't even understand why she wanted to see Pei Ci, but after thinking about it, she and Pei Ci were probably on the same boat now, and she always hoped that he was well, but when she had a nightmare, she always wanted to see him. Only by taking a look can you feel at ease.

It's just that when she really stood at the back door of Pei's mansion, Sheng Baoling's feet were like the heavy stone statue, unable to move an inch.

Old scholar Qin returned to his hometown, without the pretense of a school, she suddenly didn't know why she would come to Pei's mansion.

If Pei Ci asks, is she going to say that she had a dream of you being tortured and wanted to come over to see if you are all right?

It was so ridiculous that even she couldn't understand these words.

Just when Sheng Baoling was hesitating whether to go back, the back door of Pei's mansion suddenly opened from the inside.

Sheng Baoling looked subconsciously, and her eyes were blue and white, her heart "thumped", and when she looked up again, before she could see the man's face clearly, the voice of the servant guarding the back door sounded first, "Young Master Sheng Why are you here, but come to see old scholar Qin?"

At this moment, Sheng Baoling had already seen clearly the face of the person in the blue and white robe, it was Pei Ci.

His expression was cold, and when he saw Sheng Baoling, there was no surprise in his eyes.

Sheng Baoling inexplicably felt a little weird, as if Pei Ci knew he was coming?

But when I turned around and thought about it, I knew it was my own illusion.

She nodded slightly, "Something I don't understand, I would like to ask a scholar."

Although the words were directed at the servant, his eyes fell on Pei Ci.

It was completely different from the dream, the Pei Ci in front of him was alive, standing here, his body was intact, he had never been tortured by Ling Chi.

Sheng Baoling's heart felt a little relieved without even realizing it.

Pei Ci could vaguely sense that the Sheng Baoling in front of him was a little different, as if he was preoccupied.

The servant said with a smile, "It's really not a coincidence that Mr. Sheng came here. Old scholar Qin went back to his hometown a few days ago, and he will return to the capital after the Lantern Festival."

Sheng Baoling pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, since that's the case, I'll ask someone else to ask."

The servant immediately said, "Young Master Sheng, my lord is the proud student of the pedantic old Qin. If you really don't understand something, Young Master Sheng, why not come to the mansion and ask my lord?"

When the servant said this, Sheng Baoling immediately looked at Pei Ci, who took a step back and turned slightly sideways, giving way to the door.

Seeing Sheng Baoling hesitate, the servant said again, "Look at this day, it's probably going to snow again."
