When Queen Xu heard the quarrel between the two people, she felt dizzy.
The reason why she accepted Mrs. Chen's complaint was because Mrs. Chen's biological sister was the legitimate wife of Mr. He, the minister of Dali Temple, so she gave it a little color.
But I didn't expect that this matter would turn out to be a mess.
She looked at Mrs. Chen and Mi Xiayao with slightly solemn eyes.
"You go and check the medicine residue, and then you go and check the Mi girl's pulse."
Queen Xu waved her hand to the maid next to her.
Mi Xiayao stood still, looking sideways at Mrs. Chen, with a sly smile in her eyes.
Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that the situation in front of her was undoubtedly...
No wonder... no wonder Chen Xi has been acting erratically recently, deliberately mentioning Mi Xiayao every time.
Last time in Mi Mansion... Mi Xiayao seemed to resist her at every turn, but every move contained a vague guilty conscience that she misunderstood.
Twice in a row, she deliberately exposed herself in front of her, making her think she had bitten some big fish!
Her face suddenly became embarrassed, but the female officer didn't care what Mrs. Chen's face looked like.
In short, she first checked the dregs of the medicine, confirmed that it was the dregs of anti-fetal medicine, and reported it truthfully.
Then the female officer walked towards Mi Xiayao, and Mi Xiayao glanced at Mrs. Chen.
The female officer placed her hand on Mi Xiayao's pulse and paused for a moment.
"Queen Xu!"
Suddenly, a male voice suddenly came from behind, and Pei Xingyuan received news from the palace's spy that Mi Xiayao had been brought into the palace.
He was worried that the prince and the Xu family wanted to play some evil tricks on her again.
When he ignored the rules of the harem and rushed to Kunning Palace, he saw the female official reaching out to hold her wrist.
The female officer was interrupted to take her pulse, but the pulse just now was enough for her to judge.
The female officer was not affected by Lord Pei's rash appearance, but turned around and continued to report to Queen Xu.
"Back to your Majesty, Miss Mi is still innocent and not pregnant."
The cold and decisive report was particularly clear in the main hall.
The moment Pei Xingyuan walked to the door of the hall, he happened to hear these words, and his footsteps suddenly stopped in place.
Mi Xiayao actually heard Pei Xingyuan's voice and was surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down deliberately.
She didn't dare to turn around and meet Pei Xingyuan's eyes.
Afraid of seeing her distressed look in his eyes.
Queen Xu first glared at Pei Xingyuan who was standing at the door, and then looked sideways at the lady who gave the false information.
Her tone was vaguely stern and warning, "Mrs. Chen."
At this moment, she didn't care why the man who ran over in a hurry appeared here.
She staggered back two steps, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what to say.
This absurd farce ended under Queen Xu's severe scolding.
Mrs. Chen maliciously insulted others, which affected the relationship between people in the capital. In fact, according to Daqi law, this is not true, and there is no corresponding punishment.
But it just happened to happen that Queen Xu was at her lowest point and irritable.
"Mrs. Chen maliciously speculated on others, and her upbringing was not strict. She punished her by copying the female precepts a thousand times until she sent the female precepts a thousand times to me. She avoided anyone for the rest of the time."
These words undoubtedly banned Mrs. Chen in disguise, and also broke Mrs. Chen's "bad habits" during the thousand times of female precepts.
Mi Xiayao pursed her lips and looked sideways at Mrs. Chen. Although her expression was indifferent, the provocation and ridicule in her beautiful eyes really fell into her eyes.
After the distraught Mrs. Chen was carried away, Queen Xu naturally looked at Pei Xingyuan at the door.
"According to my understanding, there should be a rule that men with foreign surnames are not allowed to enter the harem due to unprovoked events in the harem. I wonder how Mr. Pei is going to explain it?"
"I have important matters to come here this time."
Pei Xingyuan glanced at Mi Xiayao and quickly understood what the current situation was.
Even though he had millions of questions in his mind, he restrained himself at the moment, walked in without showing anything, and bowed slightly.
"Why does Mr. Pei need to enter the harem in person?" Queen Xu sneered, aggressively.
Pei Xingyuan continued calmly and unaffected: "I noticed that several merchants in the capital have been secretly surging recently. It seems that someone found out that the investment in Jingzhou City was related to the prince."
In fact, Pei Xingyuan had no intention of telling them this news.
But after he heard the news that Mi Xiayao entered the palace alone, he was too worried and could not play it safe, allowing Queen Xu to seize the opportunity.
Just treat this news as a gift to the other party.
Sure enough, when Queen Xu heard the news, even if she cared about Pei Xingyuan breaking into the harem, she soon couldn't care anymore.
"really?"
"The secret network of Dali Temple has been detected recently." His reply was concise, but the authority in it was quite shocking.
Queen Xu's expression changed slightly.
"I think the queen already had a countermeasure in mind, so she resigned first after receiving the news."
Pei Xingyuan ignored his sudden intrusion and left in a hurry, which would be a misunderstanding in the eyes of Queen Xu.
But right now, he just wants to meet Mi Xiayao alone quickly.
When Pei Xingyuan left, Queen Xu, who had too much time to take care of, no longer cared about Mi Xiayao, so she sent Mi Xiayao out.
Kunning Palace hurriedly closed the door.
Mi Xiayao turned around and was about to leave the palace along the same route and walked onto a straight palace road.
Halfway through the palace road, a man in black clothes stood alone.
The two met their eyes.
Pei Xingyuan raised his hand and waved at her.
Mi Xiayao paused for a moment, and finally stepped forward to meet him.
There was no one coming or going in this palace passage, only the two of them stood face to face.
"When did you know you were not pregnant?"
There was a hint of hoarseness in his deep voice.
Mi Xiayao pursed her lips and answered the question in silence.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked again.
Why? She fluttered her eyelashes slightly and raised her head to meet his gaze.
"Are you upset? If I hadn't been pregnant, you wouldn't have been so kind to me?"
Her tone was light.
At this moment, Pei Xingyuan's position, which was originally the one questioning Mi Xiayao, suddenly changed 180 degrees.
The man's originally indifferent expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Mi Xiayao with distressed and helpless eyes.
"Whether you are pregnant or not, I will do this to you sooner or later. The child only adds to my deep understanding of your feelings and prevents me from missing you."
He took a step forward and closed the distance between the two people.
Mi Xiayao could clearly see his sincerity from his red phoenix eyes, and this burning heat reached a corner of her heart.
"The child may be fake, but my love for you has always been sincere, you can see it."
Pei Xingyuan raised his hand and touched the side of her face. The other party did not dodge at all, but kept looking at him with her bright beautiful eyes.
