The old lady's steps went down in vain. If someone hadn't been supporting her, she would have stumbled and fallen. However, she only paused slightly and did not stop.

Pei Yuniang looked at her retreating back and fell to her knees with a thud. She knew that her fate would be determined as she entered the palace, and there would be no opportunity to change it.

When Mrs. Pei Guogong rushed over, the old lady had already disappeared. Only her little daughter fell down somewhere in despair, her cheeks were already wet with tears, and her withered eyes lacked any spiritual energy.

"Yu'er."

No matter how she called Pei Yuniang, there was no response. She was so frightened that she hugged the person and kept shaking, but the person seemed to have lost his soul.

This was what Pei Jinniang saw when she rushed over. The mother and daughter were sitting on the ground holding their heads, one was crying heartbrokenly and the other had no expression at all.

"What's going on?"

The Duke's wife turned around and saw a head of conspicuous white hair. The corners of her lips moved slightly, with some surprise: "Jin'er."

Taking a closer look, his daughter has not changed much except for her frosty hair. Time has not left many traces on her face. If you throw away the desolation in her eyes, she is still extremely gentle.

"Mother."

Pei Jinniang said softly, but there was not much emotion in her eyes. Instead, she glanced at Pei Yuniang.

Pei Yuniang was also in a daze at this time. After looking at the eyes she cast on her, she even supported herself and knelt down in front of him quickly: "Sister, please save me. Grandma goes to the palace."

I went to ask for the marriage decree."

Pei Jinniang's pupils suddenly tightened, and when she turned to Mrs. Pei Guogong, she could only see her eyes dodge away, and her voice contained a bit of caution: "She had already left the mansion when I heard the news, and your grandmother's temperament doesn't matter to you.

I also understand that it is difficult to change what she decides."

"Yeah, how could you not understand?"

The sarcasm on her lips made Mrs. Pei Guogong tighten her lips. She wanted to explain a few words but ended up sighing.

In the East Palace, Prince Zhou was sitting in his study, lost in thought at the scroll, and there was a knock on the door. After he came to his senses, he said one word and let the people outside come in.

As soon as the man entered the door, he said urgently to him, "Your Highness, Queen Pei and Mrs. Pei Guogong have gone to the imperial study."

"Do you know why?"

"The condition of the young lady from Duke Pei's house seems to have improved. I'm afraid it has something to do with your marriage."

"Has Pei Yuniang's condition improved?"

At this time, Prince Zhou seemed to be willing to look away from the scroll, and his voice was mixed with a bit of doubt. After all, Pei Yuniang's tuberculosis was very popular in the past few days, so how could such a serious condition improve so quickly?

Where is it?

"The specific details need to be further confirmed by the imperial doctor. It's just that Mrs. Pei entered the palace because of your marriage."

Prince Zhou glanced at the scroll slowly and softly, and then rolled it up very gently. However, it could be seen from the slightly curled brows that he was not in a very good mood at this time.

"You said that if we are not willing to marry this little girl from the Pei family, what will happen to the two people in the palace?"

"I don't know."

The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground. There will naturally be winners and losers in this three-party game. Will the two masters in the palace agree? The answer is no. By marrying the Pei family, the royal family can gain a lot of benefits, but with the royal family

Marrying the Pei family will also yield a lot of money, so who would object to this mutually beneficial thing?

Furthermore, what did he just hear?

If you don't want to marry the youngest daughter of the Pei family, why are you still thinking about the eldest daughter of the Pei family? Thinking of the prince's weirdness today, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by thunder.

It can be said that everyone knew about the two people at the beginning. The Pei family went to Lizhou with decline and unwillingness after the power game. How could she reunite and renew their relationship with her pride?

Obviously it's impossible.

When Prince Zhou raised his eyes, he happened to see the shocked but determined look in his own chamberlain's eyes. How could the master and servant not see his thoughts for many years, but it was precisely because they could see that his face became more and more ugly.

"Go down."

Prince Zhou directly dismissed the servants, quite out of sight and out of mind. However, before he could calm down for a long time, he was summoned to the palace by an order from the palace.

As soon as he entered the royal study room, he felt the harmonious atmosphere coming towards him. The Nine-Five Master who was sitting on the dragon chair smiled even more when he saw him coming: "What your mother and queen said some time ago, now that girl also

When you reach the age of marriage, how do you think about it?"

The man on the dragon throne didn't seem to have much royal majesty. He was smiling and talking like a middle-aged handsome uncle.

However, no one dared to underestimate his appearance.

If it was really so harmless, he wouldn't have got involved with Duke Pei's government back then. When everyone thought he would choose a girl from the Pei family to marry for the prince, he turned around and married a girl from another family, thus consolidating the prince's position.

In the central position.

"Father, do you have a charter in mind?"

"When your marriage to Jin'er failed, it was always a thorn in my father's heart. Now that the youngest daughter of the Pei family is given to you to fill your house, it can make up for the regrets of these years."

"... It's up to you to decide. It's just that the little girl from the Pei family has been bedridden. I have to meet her before I can make a decision."

Few people mentioned what happened back then. Prince Zhou made his decision after a short pause, and the emperor nodded, seeming to think that this move was very appropriate.

"The people in Beicang Country are trying to make moves recently, you have to be careful." He could use his half-sister as a pathfinder, but the son he raised as his heir was his hope, and naturally he didn't want to be

Being targeted by that madman Ran Yichen.

"promise"

After Prince Zhou left the palace, he went to Duke Pei's Mansion with Mrs. Pei. But as soon as he stepped across the threshold, he saw an old nanny running over: "Old Madam, eldest lady..."

The woman stumbled over and ran over, her words full of joy, but she was slightly startled when she saw the figure standing next to her, and she swallowed the words "big girl" that she blurted out.

The old lady looked at her with something wrong, and her heart skipped a beat after hearing those words. She wanted to wink but heard Prince Zhou's gentle voice: "But is there anything that I need to avoid?"

"Old slave..." Mother-in-law Qiqi Ai'ai's voice was interrupted by the old lady, and she said with a smile, "Maybe this mother-in-law is possessed by a demon. I will lead the Crown Prince to Yu Niang's place to have a look."
