NOVEL NEXT Chapter 585 Decision to Take Action
As soon as Xu Muhua returned to Yichun Palace, he called the crow over and asked it to keep an eye on Pei Mansion.
She was really a little worried that the love-brained Master Pei would do something unbelievable. Although she heard that he was beaten by the emperor, it should not be serious for the sake of Arong, the Crown Princess.
Maybe Lord Pei, who is so in love, will ignore his injuries and force himself to get up and go to the prison to see Aunt Zhao! Maybe once Aunt Zhao cries, he will get excited and do something incomprehensible.
For example, he used his father's identity to order Arong not to care about the matter and let Aunt Zhao go.
Xu Muhua was right. Lord Pei really wanted to go to the prison to see Aunt Zhao, regardless of his own injuries. He didn't believe that Aunt Zhao would do such a thing.
He certainly didn't love his legitimate daughter as much as he loved his second daughter, but she was still his daughter, and now she was the Crown Princess and was pregnant with the Emperor's grandson, so he valued her a little more no matter what.
He had clearly explained everything about Zhen'er to her, so how could she still do such a thing? Didn't she know the consequences of doing so?
After Master Pei knew about this, what he wanted to do was to beat him with dozens of boards again, or even better, beat him to death!
How could he give birth to such a waste!
It was Mrs. Pei who stood up and persuaded Master Pei to go to the prison to see Aunt Zhao.
Mrs. Pei was not a soft-hearted person, and she wanted to be a bodhisattva at this time. She also wanted to cut Aunt Zhao into pieces.
As for Master Pei, if he doesn't let go of this idea, Aunt Zhao will just leave like this, and he might blame them again. Who knows if he will suddenly go crazy when he thinks of Aunt Zhao one day?
Mrs. Pei had already made a secret decision in her heart.
If he is still unconscious this time and is still blind and wants to believe what Aunt Zhao said, then don't blame her for disregarding the love they have had as husband and wife for so many years!
No one knew what Lord Pei said to Aunt Zhao when he went to the prison, but Lord Pei fell seriously ill after returning. When he recovered, Aunt Zhao had already been killed by a cup of poisoned wine. The body was not thrown into the mass grave, but it was not buried in the Pei family's ancestral tomb either.
By the time the old lady found out, Aunt Zhao had already been buried! Of course she started to make a scene again, but Master Pei said that if she continued like this, he would divorce her even if it was embarrassing!
The old lady then calmed down.
Xu Muhua thought that if Aunt Zhao died, the problems of the Pei Mansion should be solved, right? Then A Rong would not completely hate the Pei Mansion as described in the book, and finally force Master Pei to retire early, right?
Of course, it is of great benefit to Arong that Master Pei is still in the court, as it will help her consolidate her position.
After dealing with Aunt Zhao, Pei Shaorong felt relieved. She couldn't help but go to Yichun Palace to talk to Xu Muhua about her worries.
As soon as Xu Muhua sent her away, the crow flew in, very anxiously: "If you don't act quickly, it will be too late! The old man secretly sent a message to the border, preparing to take action against your eldest brother!"
"Where is the letter?" Xu Muhua asked anxiously.
The emperor is about to die, and yet he still can't be honest! The Duke Cheng's Mansion is really in bad luck.
"Don't worry, we have already replaced the letter, but you have to hurry, otherwise it will be exposed sooner or later!" They replaced the letter with a piece of white paper. When the letter was delivered to the border, the other party would definitely become suspicious.
If they send another letter back to ask, then nothing will be hidden anymore. Then the matter will definitely get even bigger!
Xu Muhua clenched his fist and pounded his palm, gritted his teeth, and said, "Start preparing immediately!"
She was distracted by Aunt Zhao's matter, and she also thought that if the emperor changed his mind, there was no need for her to take risks. He was dying anyway.
But unexpectedly, the emperor insisted on stirring up trouble before his death, and insisted on dragging the Chengguo Mansion to take the blame for him!
It's not that the emperor didn't want to take action against her, but he was always "unfortunately" delayed by other things. A few days ago, when he was about to make up his mind, the incident with Aunt Zhao happened again.
The emperor probably realized that his body could not hold on any longer, so he became anxious.
If she got into trouble in the East Palace and my eldest brother was in danger at the border, my father would definitely be panicked. In contrast, my father would choose to leave for the border immediately. As soon as my father left, the emperor would find a reason to put everyone in Chengguo Mansion in jail.
Far away from the border, what kind of evidence can't he forge?
In addition, with the recent incident with Xu Dexing's family, it would be natural to frame the Chengguo Mansion.
Xu Muhua asked the old man to call the nest of poisonous scorpions.
The old man came back soon after he went out.
"Where is the scorpion?" Xu Muhua asked.
The old man suddenly shook his body, and Xu Muhua saw a lot of scorpions falling from him like snow!
Wow, it turns out that it was hidden on the old man and brought here!
Xu Muhua was silent for a moment, "Uncle, aren't you afraid of being stung by them?"
The old man didn't say anything, but the leading scorpion was unhappy, "We don't sting anything casually, okay?"
They don't sting people just for fun, they are also very loving and kind!
Xu Muhua chuckled: "I know that you usually sting the enemy when you are attacked or feel danger."
"It's good that you know it, but don't misunderstand us like this again!"
"sure!"
After the scorpions climbed onto the table, the leader asked, "I heard from you that you have made all the plans? Then tell me, how do you want us to help you?"
"It's like this..." Xu Muhua lowered his voice, muttered for a while, and repeated his plan.
After hearing her words, Scorpion nodded: "Okay, that's no problem."
However, Xu Muhua was a little worried, "But can you escape successfully after stinging someone?"
If they stung someone, they would have to pay with their lives, so she felt embarrassed to ask them to help.
It’s not that she is a saint, but these scorpions are obviously spiritual and can communicate with her, so she can’t treat them as ordinary small animals.
Just like the various kinds of meat she usually eats, if there was a duck chirping and talking to her in front of her, she would not be able to let anyone kill the duck and eat it for her!
If they were to eat anything, they would eat those that had no intelligence, just like ordinary small animals.
"Don't worry, we can escape. We can climb onto its dragon bed while it's asleep, sting it, and then sneak away."
They are small in size and easy to hide, so they can't be found even if they are checked.
When it's late at night and the old man is asleep, they will appear again. Who can find them?
"Then you must be very careful when the time comes!"
