Pei Mansion, Qinglong Hall.
Li is very strong; it seems she can live for another ten years without any problem.
Cao was cautious and timid in front of her, but she did not intend to die for the time being.
Madam Li didn't kill her because the Pei residence wasn't suitable for the time being. There were some things she still needed to handle.
At least compared to the Qian family and the unruly Xia family, the Cao family was more obedient.
Pei Bo came over, dressed in heavy mourning. He didn't have to observe the mourning period, nor did he have to go to Pei Su's grave to keep vigil. Staying here at the Pei residence was much more comfortable for him.
Pei Jing was also in mourning and was in a good mood, almost able to cross his legs.
The eldest son's family glared at him.
Originally, the first wife was better than the second wife, but Pei Huanyue really ruined the first wife.
After all, she's from the Qian family, so everyone criticizes her first, and her children suffer the most.
Today, even Qian's harsh face softened a bit. It's like heaven is on her side!
Once the Crown Prince is gone, her phoenix will soar to the top, and the world will once again belong to her.
Madam Li asked her, "Aren't you going to take care of Yu'er anymore?"
Pei Jing didn't take it seriously: "Only a few families can hide it this well. Since no one is talking about it, it should be fine."
If those families want to hide, would the Pei family dare to come knocking on their door demanding their release? The Pei family also controls the Chang family.
But Pei Huanyue didn't care at all; he's truly heartless and ungrateful!
Now, all Qian cares about is her Feng; it would be best if that girl Yu hadn't given birth to her.
Come here, servant.
Everyone was seated, waiting for the lunch to begin.
The servant found a safe spot and announced: "The news has spread far and wide that the Emperor is going to depose the Empress."
Crack! First, I smashed a teacup.
The servant stood by the door, ready to run away immediately if things went wrong, because more bad news was on the way.
Pei Bo jumped up: "How is that possible?"
Li Shi glanced at him and despaired! She had long since given up on him anyway.
Pei Huanzhao was calmer, while Pei Huanxu was somewhat out of sorts.
Qian screamed, "What did you say? It wasn't that slut who was crippled?"
The servant, fearing the madman, quickly said, "The emperor insisted on deposing the empress, and it seems that the Duke of Rong retired later."
Qian didn't understand for a moment, how did this bring up the retirement of the Duke of Rong?
Li asked sternly, "Has the Duke of Rong really retired?"
The servant said, "It's probably true. Master Dong was beaten by the Crown Princess in the Xuanzheng Hall today."
Mrs. Qian was furious: "Why didn't you beat her to death?"
Li scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Madam Qian shut her mouth, but she was extremely unwilling! Her heart felt like it had been burned to ashes: "How could that vile woman go to the Xuanzheng Hall?"
How would the servant know? The servants of the Pei family don't have that kind of ability. They only find out things that everyone already knows.
A daughter-in-law came in and reported: "Princess Yongjia has also been beaten, and the Emperor wants to demote her to a commoner."
Qian felt dizzy and fainted.
The wife's inquiries continued: "It seems like the price has dropped even more today."
The term "demoted" is used to describe a large number of officials. It's not enough to simply execute a batch; it's considered a good outcome.
Pei Jing asked in surprise, "Didn't the Sage find out about those rumors?"
The Li family was gloomy!
Pei Huanfeng couldn't help but say, "Isn't the fact that Chongjiao Hall was struck by lightning a sign of the Crown Prince's misconduct?"
Why was it that when the Crown Prince's palace was in turmoil, it was the Duke of Rong who ultimately retired, while the King of Qi suffered the greatest loss?
If the Duke of Rongguo hadn't retired, or if the Empress hadn't been deposed, would the Prince of Qi have been able to succeed?
Pei Huanfeng wanted to faint like her mother! But she still loved Prince Qi!
Since Zheng Kou could do this and that with her second brother, she was also willing to do this and that with the King of Qi.
Pei Huanfeng was proud! The Eastern Palace was unstable before, but now even if Prince Qi is in trouble, as long as she stands by him, things will be different in the future.
**
The Crown Prince's Palace is the focus of everyone's attention.
The rear hall of Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue lay on a recliner under the Jixian Pavilion, his head aching.
So it was quiet all around, even the birds in the trees were quiet, and only the fragrance of flowers wafted in the air.
Xie Zhou finally finished his work and rushed over to see his wife. She looked quite pretty in her mourning clothes.
Xie Zhou held his wife, Xiangxiang, and comforted her.
Huan Yue pinched his chin with two fingers.
Xie Zhou forcefully pried her fingers apart. "Don't you know how to be gentle and considerate, wife? Or should I try to appease you? Today's morning court session was terrifying."
Fortunately, he was prepared, and the authorities were also in place.
The Dong family, or others with ulterior motives, are well-prepared and intend to incite trouble.
Actually, it's unclear whether being struck by lightning is related to moral depravity, but those who harbor malicious intentions must be condemned.
Huan Yue didn't care about those things, got up, and went to eat.
Xie Zhou held her hand, his wife was leading him, he was also very hungry.
Di Baose came over, extremely happy. She was stunned to see the Crown Prince, who rarely came at noon.
Xie Zhou glanced at her. Why can't you come at noon?
Di Baose rolled her eyes. Come if you want. She looked at Huan Yue, but didn't seem happy anymore. She turned and ran away.
Xie Zhou was speechless. But he should keep up this lively spirit.
Xie Zhou said to his wife, "Actually, the retirement of the Duke of Rongguo has little impact."
Huan Yue said, "Will Empress Dong continue to cause trouble?"
Xie Zhou said, "You should be sober now."
Huan Yue nodded. Empress Dong is quite formidable.
But wasn't it better the way it was before? A bolt of lightning struck him, leaving him completely stunned.
Xie Zhou thought the lightning strike was quite effective. Each person revealed their true form, so it didn't strike the Crown Prince.
The most impressive thing was his wife; she gave him a wonderful gift of peonies.
Xie Zhou said to his wife, "Let me get you some more flowers. What do you like?"
Huan Yue said, "Pumpkin?"
Xie Zhou asked in confusion, "What melon?"
Huan Yue said, "It looks a bit like winter melon and cucumber."
Xie Zhou learned of this and said, "It's another kind of melon: I'll have someone look for it."
Huan Yue thought pumpkin was pretty good, and sweet potato would also be good, but they didn't have any right now.
Lunch was still very plentiful, and Huan Yue thoroughly enjoyed the chestnut stewed chicken.
Xie Zhou's appetite was whetted at the sight of his wife; he even considered eating her along with him.
Huan Yue glanced at his full set of white teeth.
Xie Zhou didn't show his beautiful teeth while eating, and Zeng Huan's teeth weren't very nice either.
To be honest, he even considered attacking that guy when he was cursing his father, but a bolt of lightning struck him and made him stupid.
Huan Yue was curious: would striking Chongjiao Hall with lightning have such a big effect?
Perhaps it was their daily routine, constantly eyeing the Eastern Palace, getting excited at the slightest opportunity. Ultimately, they were suppressed by the Sage.
Xie Zhou looked at his wife with delight.
Father is so biased. Those who were struck by lightning today should be much more sober from now on.
Huan Yue didn't care and was quite full.
Xie Zhou was also full. He took his wife's hand and went out to have some fun, since he couldn't take a nap right after eating.
An official came to invite His Highness.
Xie Zhou was somewhat reluctant, as the Crown Prince was the heir apparent, and the Emperor was the one who ultimately made the decisions.
Huan Yue thought he was being dissolute. He hoped the sage would at least give him face.
Actually, King Zheng was quite favored, but King Qi was in a much worse situation.
The King of Qi bears some resemblance to the current king.
Lady Dong is truly a hindrance. Can't she come up with a proper plan? Both Princess Yongjia and Xie Chou can see through Lady Dong's true nature.
Perhaps it was menopausal syndrome, and at this time Ms. Dong was thinking a lot, which made the illness much more serious.
No one will care about her illness; they will only take advantage of it to kill her.
After all, the Dong family had taken many lives, and they probably had nightmares about it.
