Chapter 337 Negotiation Failure
That night, the moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight reflected on the lake, making the atmosphere of Yu Garden mysterious and quiet.
Concubine An carefully observed her surroundings, and only after she found that there was indeed no one nearby did she dare to come out of her hiding place and go to the next place.
Just when she was about to fall asleep at night, she heard movement in the side hall.
Concubine An was used to being cautious, so she went to the side hall to take a look in person. She didn't find anyone, but she found a note on the table. There were only a few words written on it, but it made her shudder.
The general idea was that if you want to know the whereabouts of her brother and sister, come to meet them in Yu Garden.
Concubine An was shocked when she saw the note.
Of course she knew that the brother and sister she was talking about were not the ones Zhou Fangyu and Zhou Fangze pretending to be, but her real brother and sister.
However, Zhou Fangyu and Zhou Fangze naturally could not tell anyone about this matter, let alone her. Who knew about this and lured her there? This
was obviously a conspiracy, but Concubine An had to step in willingly.
But she had been waiting here for a long time, why didn't anyone come?
Concubine An even thought that someone was playing a prank, but in fact she was just worrying too much.
Just when she was getting impatient and determined to leave, she saw Pei Xuanyi coming out holding Qin Xixi.
When Concubine An saw the two of them, her mind went blank for a moment. She
had never expected that they were the ones who got to know the news.
Concubine An knew in her heart that she had offended the Qin family too much with the things she had done in the past few days.
And the little grandson of the emperor was firmly on good terms with the Qin family. It would not be a good thing if he knew about Anyuesheng and Anyueya.
In this case, Concubine An could not leave, and could only pretend to be calm.
"I wonder what the little grandson of the emperor wanted to do by calling me here in the middle of the night? I didn't expect that the little grandson of the
emperor, who has always been upright, would act so secretly?" Pei Xuanyi ignored Concubine An's ridicule. At this time, they had more important things to do.
"The note was indeed sent to your bedroom by someone I asked, Concubine An, don't you feel that there is something wrong with the An brothers and sisters?"
Seeing Concubine An pretending to be stupid, Pei Xuanyi asked again.
"I know that you had a lover before you entered the palace, and you have been in contact all these years. Do you want to be with your lover?"
To be honest, Concubine An was a little shocked.
She didn't expect Pei Xuanyi to know so much.
He even knew that she had a lover and that they had been in contact when she was in the palace, so there was no need for Concubine An to play dumb and pretend that she knew nothing.
After all, there was only this one thing, and if they had evidence, it would be enough to sentence Concubine An to death.
Concubine An suddenly felt that it didn't matter. She looked at Pei Xuanyi, waiting for his next words.
Pei Xuanyi frowned. If Concubine An had no doubts in her heart, she would not have come here.
"The An family brothers and sisters are not your brothers and sisters from the border, but are pretended by Zhou Fangyu and Zhou Fangze from the Zhou family."
Concubine An only then realized that it was Zhou Fangyu who pretended to be Anyueya.
Although she was not familiar with the Zhou family, she had heard storytelling in the palace several times, all of which talked about things that happened outside the palace, including the grievances between the Zhou family and the Qin family.
No wonder, no wonder Zhou Fangyu hated the Qin family so much.
But so what, Zhou Fangyu has become Anyueya, so she is her sister.
Concubine An sneered, as if she was laughing at the naivety of the little grandson.
"You are so stupid, could it be that I didn't realize that they were not my brothers and sisters? Even if we are not familiar with each other, we are still acquainted. How could I not see it?"
Xixi frowned when she heard it.
In other words, Concubine An knew that the An siblings had been replaced, but she still let them stay by her side?
This matter is definitely not that simple. Concubine An has no reason to keep the Zhou siblings in the palace without exposing them. They must have made some kind of deal. Is Concubine An innocent?
Pei Xuanyi's expression did not change, but he told Concubine An that the real An siblings might have died. When
he saw Concubine An's pupils dilate instantly, he knew that he guessed right. No matter how bad Concubine An was, she would not have the heart to keep the murderer who killed her brother and sister by her side. It could only be that Zhou Fangyu deceived her at that time.
But Concubine An's expression collapsed for only a moment, and then she returned to calm. Concubine
An really didn't know that her brother and sister were already dead.
At that time, Zhou Fangyu told her that her brother and sister were just hidden in a place by her, but they were not in danger of life. When the time is right, they can be exchanged back.
Moreover, An Yuesheng still wanted to strive for fame in the court. As the support of his An family in the court, Concubine An naturally agreed.
But...
Concubine An's eyes were dead and cold. She didn't say a word, which made Pei Xuanyi frown.
"They are your own brothers and sisters, who were killed by the Zhou brothers and sisters, and the Zhou brothers and sisters also took their names. Can you really swallow this breath and let them do whatever they want?"
Concubine An couldn't help but clench her fists.
Pei Xuanyi saw the change in her expression and hurriedly said.
"No matter what you did before, you can turn back now. As long as you expose all the mistakes of the An family brothers and sisters, I will definitely promise to set you free."
When Concubine An heard this, her heart sank a little.
Although the little emperor's grandson does have this ability and power.
But the wrong things she did were not only what the little emperor's grandson could think of.
Even if it was the little emperor's grandson, she could not keep her body intact under the emperor's trial.
Now the only way is to continue with An Yueya, until the Qin family is overthrown and the little emperor is kicked off the stage, so as to bury this sin. Concubine
An thought about the pros and cons clearly, and her expression became indifferent again.
She waved her hand and let them leave.
"No need to say more, we have different positions and must be enemies. I can't turn back, no matter how much you say, it's useless."
Pei Xuanyi didn't expect that Concubine An knew the fate of the real An brothers and sisters, but she was still so stubborn and didn't want to turn back. Could it be that she didn't even care about her own relatives?
But Concubine An had made up her mind, and Pei Xuanyi didn't have the patience to persuade her again and again. Seeing that Concubine An was determined to do so, he sighed and stopped trying to persuade her, but left with Xixi in his arms.
Concubine An was left alone in the Yu Garden, looking at the moon, with an unclear expression on her face. It was unknown whether she was regretful or helpless.
At this moment, a shadow appeared in front of her and got closer and closer.
