Chapter 167: Zhou Nianzhen's Concession
The letter of collusion signed by him was always a heart-wrenching problem. He always felt like he could not raise his head, but now this feeling is infinitely magnified.
If it weren't for him, the Pei family wouldn't have been roasted on the stove.
"I want to go home."
Since this matter was caused by himself, he should deal with it. When he said this, he saw Pei Jinniang's eyebrows tightly narrowed: "It was the royal family who took the initiative before, and you and I were just protecting yourself. As for the letter of collusion, you don't need to pay attention to it. My father naturally has a way."
"But because of me, the Pei family is afraid..." Before he could continue, Pei Jinniang had interrupted his voice, "If you happen now, it will be easier for something to happen. If you want this matter to disperse quietly, it is best if you, the person involved, do not show up in a short time."
Pei Jinniang didn't expect Ran Yichen to put this thing in this section, but she had already written a book to tell Emperor Xuan of Ming that he thought that the man also informed Zhou Nianzhen about this, so she didn't worry about what the Pei family would do.
It’s just that someone will take this reason to push the current situation into a more confusing abyss.
"Aunt Pei, what are you doing?"
Zhou Nianjin's mood improved slightly over the years. After learning that Zhou Nianzhen had rushed to Jizhou, she also had a little more smile on her face. If it weren't for Pei Jinniang's failure to show up, she would have gone to find Zhou Nianzhen early in the morning.
Pei Jinniang glared at Pei Lang, gave him a wink and signaled him to go back. After someone reluctantly went down, she smiled and explained: "Someone is disobedient, am I teaching him a lesson!"
"Aunt Pei, I miss the emperor."
"...Your brother is busy now. How about I take you to find him when he is not busy?"
Pei Jinniang actually didn't understand the relationship between these two people. Logically speaking, Zhou Nianzhen should know the relationship between them, so there should be a gap with the little baby in front of her. But this child opened his mouth and shut up and was his emperor brother, and he looked like a cute master all day long.
"Then can I go to see my sister of the Gu family? Didn't you say that she would also go to Jizhou a few days ago?"
Looking at his expectant eyes, Pei Jinniang finally suppressed her pity: "I will take you out when the situation stabilizes."
"oh!"
Knowing that he could not leave the mansion, Zhou Nianjin didn't waste his time and walked towards his house obediently. Pei Jinniang was not relieved and told Uncle Zhou who was walking towards him: "You have been guarding you recently, and I'm worried that he will run out again."
Not to mention that this troubled time is not safe, if people know his identity, the situation will begin to change again, let alone what is even more terrifying is that it falls into Ran Yichen's hands.
"promise."
Looking at his respectful look, Pei Jinniang chuckled and said, "I am just a woman, don't be too reserved."
"In the hearts of my subordinates, you have always been a big girl in the Pei family and the one whom your master is willing to protect your life."
"It's really an elm head." Pei Jinniang sneered and looked at Chaoyang in the sky, and the smile on the corner of her lips gradually began to calm down. "He has something to stay."
When she was on the plywood, the person in front of her had told her a lot, but she didn't have much interest in it at that time. Now that the person has passed away, she has a few thoughts. I have to say that people are indeed quite naughty sometimes.
She thought her heart was as strong as ice, but at this time she no longer had the hatred she had before. Most of the people left behind were lamenting that Zhou Cheng was indeed the only emperor of Zhongxing. Unfortunately, she was born at the wrong time and was destined to end the tragedy.
"Master once said, if you ask about it after something happened to him, let your subordinates tell you that he is not a coward."
“…It’s really a slight.”
She was slightly surprised and forced a smile and said, but the smile at the corner of her eyebrows did not reach the bottom of her eyes, but it looked a little cool. When he married the daughter of Cai, she cried shamelessly and asked the reason, but the answer to her was the cold door, and she never saw anyone from beginning to end.
That day, she swore to the sky and scolded him for being a coward, but she didn't expect that the man was a vengeful person. In a blink of an eye, so many years passed, and someone still brought her news.
"The master was in the house that day."
"I know he is here, but since he doesn't want to see him, why should I put me in the yard and scold him?" That day, she tore all the disguise and tantrums in the yard like a shrew, which was a mess she had never felt before.
"Master just wants to see you again in secret."
That day he was guarding the darkness and saw with his own eyes that his master was drunk. When the girl scolded, there were scars cut by pieces on his hands. The blood kept pouring out. The prince of a country could only use self-harm to maintain his sanity. It has to be said that it was a great irony.
"So why did you obey the imperial edict and marry the daughter of Cai?"
Every woman has a great hero in her heart, and two childhood sweethearts. She always felt that she should be very important in his heart, but when he obeyed the order to marry the Cai daughter, she realized that her persistence was just a joke.
The man's sweet words when he thought about it carefully were just sweet words.
"Your Majesty once told his master that you should either marry the daughter of the Cai family or give you death." The master chose the former between the two, and he has always been a shadow around him, so he naturally knows how he has come over the years.
Although the death of the Crown Princess has nothing to do with the master, anyone knows that the Crown Princess is a person who values emotions. What she wants is not only the position of the maid of the Eastern Palace, but also the heart of the master, but what she doesn't know is that the master's heart has long been dead.
So, she ended up in depression.
"...It's really a bad choice. Could it be that I did something that was angry and resentful to the people, otherwise why would I be so disgusted by the late emperor!"
Pei Jinniang smiled self-deprecatingly, and Uncle Zhou obviously couldn't give her this answer, and the answer seemed to have been buried with the late emperor to the imperial tomb.
In Pei Mansion, Zhou Nianzheng sent off Duke Pei and asked him to find the Cai family. After the head of the Cai family came in, Zhou Nianzheng also stood up from the chair and bowed softly to him: "Grandfather."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Cai Yiyong dared not let him bow, and he was busy bowing his body lowered. Although the person in front of him was his grandson, he was also the crown prince and the future ruler of the Great Zhou royal family.
"How many uncles are okay?"
"They are very nice, I hope your highness will miss you."
The Cai family is a scholarly family. Although they are not a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty like the Pei family, they are also considered to be a second-rate family. The reason why they chose the crown princess from the Cai family was because of the dignified woman's character, and the other was that the Cai family had a very good reputation but was not very powerful.
In this way, no matter how foreign relatives interfere in the affairs of the court.
"Maternal grandfather, Zheng'er wants to imitate the former king and Wufu to come to the court, but this matter requires you to make some sacrifices." When Zhou Nianzheng said this, his whole body had already begun to fall, but was stopped by Cai Yiyong. "The prince is a traitor. If you have what you need, you must obey orders."
