Chapter 273 Too Courageous

Emperor Xuanwu stayed at Changchun Xian Pavilion at night, but after all, he was given such a strong drug. After washing up, he fell asleep with Jiang Xinyue in his arms.

He slept soundly, but Jiang Xinyue was not sleepy at all.

She shook the emperor's eyes with her hand, but his eyeballs did not shake at all.

After stuffing the pillow into the emperor's arms, she climbed up from the bed on tiptoe and put on her clothes.

Xiao Xiangzi and Shuangjiang had already lit the lantern outside the room: "My queen, everything is ready."

Jiang Xinyue nodded and followed them out.

Emperor Xuanwu, who was lying in the room, had already opened his eyes that flashed with a cold light.

"Your Majesty, if we do this...what if the emperor finds out, wouldn't that be bad?"

"What's wrong with that? Shuangjiang, you and I know about this, and Xiao Xiangzi also knows about it. If you two don't tell the emperor, how would he know?"

The temporary palace was full of trees and flowers. In the silent night, the sounds of insects and frogs covered the sound of Jiang Xinyue's footsteps.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xinyue stopped outside a garden.

The temporary palace was not like the imperial palace. There would not be guards everywhere. There were only a few servants serving in this garden. When the time came, they would also hand over their shifts and go down to rest.

Jiang Xinyue quietly lifted the hem of her skirt and took advantage of the time when the servants who were about to take over were too sleepy to open their eyes, and went around the shelter behind them.

Tang Shiliang glanced at the emperor in the dark cautiously, not knowing what to say.

This... this imperial concubine is so bold that she dared to visit a man's bedroom at night. The emperor's face was darker than the night.

Imperial concubine, wish you good luck!

Jiang Xinyue had been in for a while. The emperor was standing behind the flowers outside, angry and a little worried.

There were no servants at the gate of the garden, and the gatekeeper had closed the door. I'm afraid that Jiang Xinyue, this fool, was locked in and couldn't get out.

Seeing the door closed, Xiao Xiangzi said anxiously, "Madam, let's..."

"Hush!"

Pei Zhongshu's furious voice came from the room, "You useless thing, didn't I tell you to calm down and not cause trouble for me here? Are you a pig? Or are you deaf? You don't take me, your grandfather, seriously. Are you trying to make trouble?"

"Father!"

A soft and weak female voice rang softly, "Shuo'er just woke up from a coma, and his body is covered with wounds. Can you let your daughter-in-law check his injuries first?"

"You still have the face to cry?"

"It's all because of you that you raised such a troublesome thing that caused me to lose the important place of Zhenzhou. When the eldest brother's wife died of illness less than three years ago, he wanted to marry a widow like you. No one in the family agreed, saying that you had a bad fate. It was because I couldn't bear to see him frustrated and trapped by love in his middle age. I thought that if he married you, he would be able to focus on the officialdom. Who knew that after he married you, you seduced him to linger in the backyard all day long, completely ruining my plan for him. You, the unlucky star, I really should..."

"Grandfather!"

"Ahem..."

The young man in the room said excitedly, "It's all my grandson's fault. I'll beat or scold him if you want. But my mother is right. She and my father just love each other. My father wants to pamper her. What's wrong with her? Why don't you scold my father?"

"If my father had not abandoned my mother in order to marry a noblewoman of equal status, why would she be forced to marry a poor family with me in her arms? She was bullied, insulted, beaten and kicked in that poor family. My mother did not betray the Pei family to protect me and my father's reputation. It was my father who killed that poor family, and made my mother a widow with me for so many years. Whose fault is this? Grandfather should know it better than anyone else."

I didn't expect Pei Zhishuo to have such a tragic life experience!

According to his words, it was Pei Zhongshu's son and his mother who loved each other and secretly decided to spend their lives together. As a result, the Pei family looked down on his mother's family background and made his father marry a rich lady of equal status, that is, Pei Wu's mother.

Later, Pei Wu's mother died of illness, and her father married his former sweetheart as his second wife before the three-year mourning period.

While Pei Wu's parents were getting along well, Pei Zhishuo's mother was found to be pregnant, so she was not liked by her husband's family and was even abused.

His father knew the situation of his first love, so he planned to kill Pei Zhishuo's father, who was not related to him by blood, and married this unfortunate white moonlight less than three years after Pei Wu's mother died.

But if we follow this timeline, Pei Zhishuo is not Pei Wu's younger brother, but an older brother.

It should be that in order to cover up this scandal, the Pei family deliberately downplayed Pei Zhishuo's age, and only said to the outside world that Pei Zhishuo's mother was a romantic debt owed by the eldest son of the Pei family in the early years, and was not welcomed into the family until Pei Wu's mother died.

In order to save some dignity for everyone, Pei Zhishuo was changed from an elder brother to a younger brother.

Pei Zhongshu, this son, is infatuated, but Pei Wu's mother is innocent. She has been tied to a man who doesn't love her all her life and wasted her youth.

This time is not like the future, where men and women are equal and they can divorce if they can't make ends meet.

Families that are equal to the Pei family are probably wealthy and will definitely not allow their daughters to become divorced wives, let alone divorce.

No wonder Pei Wu and the Prince of Ruyang are obviously in love, but the Princess of Ruyang is unwilling to let her son marry her.

If the scandals of the Pei family's eldest house are exposed one day, their palace will also be implicated and become a laughing stock for the people.

The reason why Pei Zhishuo doesn't like young girls is probably influenced by his family!

Although pitiful, Jiang Xinyue could not tolerate the fact that he set his sights on her mother.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people.

If he is let off so lightly, he will not learn his lesson, and will have inappropriate thoughts next time he meets Ruan.

Pei Zhongshu, who was confronted by his grandson, rolled his eyes in anger. He pointed at Pei Zhishuo for a long time without saying a word, and his body was shaking with anger.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! You are fine!"

After saying this, he turned away.

Jiang Xinyue quickly told Xiao Xiangzi and Shuangjiang to hide well.

After a while, the crying of the woman inside stopped, and soon she came out.

It was not until the oil lamp in the room went out and the servants left and closed the door that Jiang Xinyue waved her hand and Shuangjiang quickly handed the box over: "Madam, do you really want to do this? Will there be any harm?"

"What can happen? Just teach him a lesson."

Xiao Xiangzi used a knife to pierce the window paper and cut a small hole for the small box to enter.

Jiang Xinyue opened the box and reached into the window.
