Chapter 208 Is this a powerful alliance?
Mother Du couldn't wait to ask, "Madam, are you okay? What happened back then?"
Xie Changning shook her head slowly, her eyes sharp and her lips full of sneers.
What exactly happened back then?
After Yubai fed her the antidote for the second time, she finally heard clearly who was speaking!
It was Mother Tao. She made up an excuse and sent Mother Du away.
Then she heard Mother Tao say with her own ears, "Everything has been arranged here. You can report to the Imperial Concubine and bring the people over."
Not long after, they brought Pei Zhi over.
Who would have thought that there was a secret passage in Yunhua Palace.
They brought Pei Zhi here through a secret passage, without anyone noticing.
Pei Zhi was accompanied by Concubine Qi, who asked someone to help Pei Zhi onto her bed.
"Pei Zhi, don't you like this bitch who's been toyed with by others? Very well, I'll grant you your wish. You two, one is the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, the other is the Minister of Justice, yet you're having an affair in a place like this? When the truth comes out, you'll surely be despised by the world. I want to see how you'll face her when that happens."
At that time, Pei Zhi was not yet the Minister of Justice.
"She is the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an. Not only does she have her own husband, she will also have her own children in the future. And you have caused her to fall into this state. She will definitely hate you to the core."
"Given her temper, I'm afraid she will kill you with her own hands."
"Hahaha... Pei Zhi, you should thank me for letting you die at the hands of the one you love most. Isn't this what you wanted?"
The imperial concubine stood far away and was not affected by the incense at all.
Then, she and Pei Zhi became out of control.
From then on, every time she entered the palace for a banquet, Concubine Qi would try her best to poison her. Each time, the method was different, making it impossible to guard against.
She never thought that Mother Tao would betray her. No wonder every time she went to the palace for a banquet, Mother Tao would take the initiative to volunteer, saying that Mother Du was a little impatient and it would be safer for her to accompany her.
Pei Zhi's situation should be similar to hers.
Like Mother Du, Mother Tao has been serving her since she was a child. Even Mother Tao can be bribed by Concubine Qi, so how difficult is it to bribe someone from Pei Zhi?
Xie Changning guessed correctly.
The person Pei Zhi trusted the most was Gu Ci, and it was him who was bribed.
It can be seen that there is no one in this world who cannot be bribed, as long as there are enough chips.
Shen Yubai was also very curious. How did Concubine Qi plot against this pair of unreliable parents?
He looked at the two of them eagerly, waiting for them to speak and help him solve his doubts.
Unexpectedly, neither of them said a word.
A man with a frosty face, no one knew what he was thinking, and a murderous aura surrounded him.
One of them had an unfathomable look, his eyes also filled with murderous intent, but the tips of his ears were slightly red.
What exactly did they see?
In other words, his identity was not suitable, otherwise he really wanted to ask a question.
It was Pei Zhi who took the initiative to speak, attracting the attention of Mother Du and Shen Yubai. "This is all my fault. The people around me were bribed by Concubine Qi."
Gu Ci had saved his life more than once, so he had never been on guard against Gu Ci.
He never thought that Gu Ci would betray him.
Fortunately, he did not bring Gu Ci today, but sent Gu Ci to keep an eye on the prince.
"So there's a spy around Madam, too. Who is it?" Mother Du blurted out subconsciously. Suddenly, she remembered something. "Every time Madam enters the palace, besides me, it's Mother Tao..."
"Madam!" Mother Du was shocked.
Xie Changning nodded slightly, and Mother Du was so angry that she started cursing and greeted Mother Tao's ancestors for eighteen generations in a friendly manner.
Shen Yubai, "..."
Although it was a bit unexpected, it was also expected. This is what we call it difficult to guard against a thief in your own home.
"Sui Sui, it's all my fault that you've ended up like this!" Pei Zhi suddenly looked at Xie Changning, his eyes full of guilt. He could imagine what she and Yu Bai would face once this matter was exposed!
Although it is not as bad as what happened between Qin Xian and Qin Xiao.
But it’s not bad at all!
Even if they were being plotted against, the world would only look at the results.
As the rumor spread, it became known that it was the two of them who initiated the affair.
Their children will become, children born out of wedlock!
He would never allow this to happen.
"It's Concubine Qi who is wrong. I'm not the only one who suffered. Lord Pei is also a victim. There's really no need to blame yourself, otherwise you would be fulfilling Concubine Qi's wishes." Xie Changning met Pei Zhi's gaze. This matter could not be blamed on him at all.
"Based on my understanding of Concubine Qi, I'm afraid she will come to me, or you, soon and threaten us first. If we can't be used by her, she will make this matter known to everyone." Pei Zhi had a stern face. This was Concubine Qi's usual method.
Xie Changning hadn't spoken yet.
Mother Du suddenly looked at Chen Yubai, "Maybe we won't be able to wait until that day. As long as you stand in front of people, everyone will be able to guess the relationship between you and Master Pei."
In fact, this face of yours is strong evidence.
As soon as she said this, Xie Changning and Pei Zhi looked at Shen Yubai at the same time.
It can be seen that sometimes it is not a good thing for a son to be too much like his father, just like now.
Shen Yubai immediately said, "I'm not afraid of that. I know a little bit about disguise. With just a few changes, people will definitely not be able to tell that I have the slightest resemblance to Master Pei. It's mainly because my father always thinks I'm not doing my job properly and won't let me use these crooked methods in front of outsiders, for fear that I will cause trouble. But I think these things are also very useful. Look, aren't they being used now?"
Mother Du's eyes widened in shock.
She really wanted to ask, what else could her young master not do?
Once he was exposed, Concubine Qi would definitely take action against him, so Pei Zhi immediately asked him to change his appearance to see for himself.
Without saying a word, Shen Yubai took out a small box the size of a palm, took out some bottles and jars from it, and then applied them on his face.
"What are you going to do with Mother Tao?" Pei Zhi asked Xie Changning while he was changing his appearance.
Xie Changning didn't answer but asked, "Master Pei, how are you going to deal with the traitor around you?"
Pei Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "It would be a pity to kill him now, it would be better to keep him to deal with Concubine Qi."
Xie Changning curled his lips, "Master Pei and I have the same idea!"
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yubai, who was in the process of changing his appearance, had something to say, "I have a medicine that will definitely make them obedient."
