Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 112 The inner thoughts are gradually revealed
When Empress Dowager Pei saw Shen Yuning meandering into the room, a gentle smile appeared on her face. At first glance, she didn't look like the empress dowager who said she would kill and kill decisively, but she was as close and pleasant as an ordinary grandmother.

"Ai's family has never been able to keep you here, why are you still here today?" Empress Dowager Pei glanced at Shen Yuning thoughtfully.

Huo Qi stood up and saluted as soon as he saw Shen Yuning. When he saw Queen Mother Pei's instantly happy face and Shen Yuning's expression that nothing had happened, although she was silent on her face, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.

For the trivial interests in life, it is impossible for a mother and child in an ordinary family to be completely free of suspicion, let alone an emperor's house?The undercurrents of Emperor Xiaowen and Empress Dowager Pei could be noticed even by those wives, so how could Shen Yuning fail to see the clues?Those princes who claimed to be "smart" all followed Emperor Xiaowen back to the court to show their loyalty. Only he stayed as he wanted, and he had no reservations about his sincerity to Empress Dowager Pei. In the eyes of Emperor Xiaowen, I don't know what he would think.

However, he probably doesn't care about these things.

In front of the Empress Dowager Pei, Shen Yuning was much more casual, but she followed the usual rituals, and somehow conjured a few white pear blossoms, casually inserted them into the long-necked porcelain vase on the table, and said to the Empress Dowager Pei: "The Chanyuan is heavy and heavy, maybe it would be better to add some pear blossoms."

In one sentence, he explained his purpose in an understatement.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince really has a heart." Aunt Lu smiled, "I will pick some camellias and put them in when I have time later. It will look more eye-catching."

Queen Mother Pei felt strange. Shen Yuning never liked to pay attention to these flowers and plants. Why did she come to give her pear blossoms today?
However, Mrs. Pei didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said to Huo Qi, who was standing in front of her: "It's embarrassing for you to have a little girl talk to an old woman from the Ai family today. I wanted to keep you for dinner, but I'm afraid that Mrs. Huo and General Huo will be anxious. Why don't you go down and rest first, and you can have free time to wander around the Baotan Temple."

After finishing speaking, he told Aunt Lu next to him: "Wenxiu, you can send Miss Huo's family off."

Huo Qi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, that's what Empress Dowager Pei meant to have a private conversation with Shen Yuning.She didn't even dare to say anything, and said goodbye to Empress Dowager Pei obediently, and then left the monastery with Aunt Lu.

Seeing that Huo Qi had gone far away, Empress Dowager Pei sniffed the pear blossoms in the porcelain vase, and then said calmly, "Xiao Qi, you and Miss Huo have known each other for a long time, right?"

"What do you mean by the emperor's grandmother?" Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows.

The Empress Dowager Pei let out a "huh" and pointedly said: "Yes, just now, the Ai family was talking to Miss Huo's family. Her words deliberately downplayed the friendship between you and her, and you never talked to her when you entered the house. But at that time In the main hall, the worry in your eyes is not fake. Aijia's old eyes are dim, but his heart is not blind."

Shen Yuning was slightly startled.

He is worried about Huo Qi?
He kept telling himself that it was his intuition that he didn't want Huo Qi to have an accident in front of his eyes.But now Empress Dowager Pei interpreted his intuitive behavior as worry, and he just felt that something grabbed his heart.

Shen Yuning was leaning against the table, with helplessness gradually brewing in his deep eyes. He neither denied nor admitted: "Royal grandmother, she is just a little girl. But you, why did you ask those words to scare her just now?"

"Aijia, a person who is going to be buried in half, can he still be serious with a little girl? I just deliberately probed her heart. It's good for Aijia to see her, and his words mean to protect you comprehensively. If you I really mean it, while the Ai family can still talk..."

When Shen Yuning saw that Empress Dowager Pei's words were getting more and more out of tune, her brows became deeper and deeper.He interrupted lightly and suddenly changed the subject: "Emperor Grandma, let's get back to business. Baotan Temple has such a big appetite, is it possible to wait for the emperor's arrogant Jin Yiwei to slowly investigate? When they find evidence, I'm afraid Huixuan will He Huineng has been silenced long ago."

Seeing Shen Yuning's prevarication, Queen Mother Pei felt angry and funny, but her expression gradually became serious.

A few days before the incense ceremony at Baotan Temple, Shen Yuning told her everything about the collapse of the Jade Guanyin today. She also knew that what happened today was Shen Yuxing's attempt to use Concubine Jing to divert misfortune to the east, and pulled Shen Yuxian down in one fell swoop. By the way, let me pour some dirty water on Shen Yuning.

Therefore, rather than saying that she came to burn incense and worship Buddha, it is better to watch people set up a stage to fight.

She saw clearly that the emperor was now obviously hesitant about executing Huixuan.After all, compared to losing a small sum of money to the treasury, the emperor's dignity in front of the people is always more noble.

And Mingyuan interceded for Huixuan today, first begging for favors without leaving any traces in front of the emperor, and then enraged the Jiang family and Concubine Shu by the way, causing the two people to persuade the emperor to send Huixuan to see the king of Hades, so that he could kill him in the end the goal of.Killing three birds with one stone, using softness to overcome strength, Shen Yuning didn't need to say any more, she also knew that Ming Yuanlu's move was to cover up Shen Yuxing's deeds.

"The Ai family always knew that the second child was useless, but they never thought that he would have so many thoughts that he shouldn't have."

They all say that they are neither stupid nor deaf, and they are not family members.Although Shen Yuxing's qualifications as a prince were mediocre, she never felt that such mediocrity was a sin. As long as what Mingyuan and the second child did was within a controllable range, she would not interfere.But now Shen Yuxing is using the name of Baotan Temple to bully the people and do evil, how can she pretend to be deaf and stupid?

Empress Dowager Pei snorted coldly, sarcastically saying every word: "Check it out carefully. As long as you are willing to work hard, I'm afraid there will be a lot of dirty things behind this that are even dirtier than embezzling money. When the time comes, the Ai family will instruct Zhang Hao to turn over the evidence. Presented to the cabinet, the situation is stronger than the people, and it is hard for your father to say anything."

"It's so good that the grandson resigned."

Shen Yuning nodded slightly, then lazily stood up, and when she stepped over the threshold, she was stopped by Empress Dowager Pei again: "You should also return to the palace with your father today."

Shen Yuning didn't turn her head back: "Emperor Grandmother, if you can't convince yourself, why bother to convince me?"

Queen Mother Pei's gesture of holding the tea lid to scrape the cup hesitated slightly, and she could only look at Shen Yuning's back and shook her head.

But on the other side, Aunt Lu led several maids to send Huo Qi back to the meditation room where Mrs. Wang lived.

The Zen room in the south is more comfortably decorated and is close to mountains and rivers, making it easier to enjoy the mountain scenery in the temple. Most people today were arranged by Baotan Temple to live in the Zen room in the south, so Aunt Lu sent Huo Qi back to his room naturally. It has caught the eyes of many lucky wives.

Aunt Lu was originally Empress Dowager Pei's dowry and had served her for decades. She was highly respected and respected, and now she was already in the position of a palace official. Even Empress Zhou couldn't help but give her a bit of a thumbs-down when she saw her, and she couldn't be easily bossed around.Now, Queen Mother Pei specifically pointed out that she was escorting an ordinary girl from aristocratic family back to her room. The profound meaning here is worthy of careful consideration by these ladies.
