Chapter 880

According to the law, it is a serious crime for the queen to instruct someone to kill the emperor's heir, and the Pei family will also be implicated.

Xiao Wenyu ordered the guards to invite Pei Shoufu in.

As soon as Pei Shoufu came over, the queen struggled and shouted: "Grandfather, save me, save me, I didn't order Yuan Nanny to poison Concubine Shu, it was Yuan Nanny's willful doing."

As soon as Pei Shoufu heard this, he knew that his granddaughter was really ruined. As a queen, even if she ordered Nanny Yuan to do this, confessing such a crime, and protecting her servants, this will not only make His Majesty look up to you, but also gain loyalty. In the end, because she was afraid, she pushed all the responsibilities onto Nanny Yuan.

Such a her, not to mention His Majesty, even he would look down on her.

Pei Shoufu looked at the queen in disappointment, even if the queen didn't admit it, as long as His Majesty decided that you would be guilty whether you admit it or not.

Pei Shoufu turned his head to look at the young emperor above him, and knelt down with a plop: "The lack of strict family education made the empress make a heinous mistake. Your Majesty, please punish me."

Xiao Wenyu looked at Pei Shoufu, who was standing next to him with cold eyes, and it took a long time before he said: "What the queen does has nothing to do with the Pei family. As a meritorious minister of the Great Zhou, the Pei family should not be implicated by the queen. I will discuss it later." Tell the queens of the world to murder the emperor's heir, and tell everyone that this matter has nothing to do with the Pei family."

Xiao Wenyu's words made Pei Shoufu's face turn pale. The emperor's edict, people in the world will probably say that his Pei family is not strict in raising daughters, which will make his granddaughter make such a heinous mistake. Even the mouths of the people in the world will not forgive the Pei family, and the reputation of his Pei family has been ruined.

Pei Shoufu wanted to kowtow heavily, and said in a sad voice while kowtow: "Your Majesty, I have an unfeeling request from you, please fulfill it."

Xiao Wenyu looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Say."

Pei Shoufu said solemnly: "Please Your Majesty, for the sake of the old minister's devotion to the court, please forgive the empress once, and I would like to ask you to resign and return to your hometown."

Pei Shoufu's words meant that he was willing to give up the position of chief assistant to keep the queen.

He resigned on the grounds that he was old and lacked energy, and people outside would not think about the Pei family issue.

As long as the queen is kept alive, don't let the Pei family lose their last respect.

Xiao Wenyu, the head of the hall, listened to Pei Shoufu's words, and frowned slightly in thought.

Although the queen drugged concubine Shu and killed the emperor's heir, the key point is that concubine Shu and the child in her belly are fine, if he ordered to tell the queen of the world to commit a crime.

Some people will believe it, some people won't believe it, maybe they will think that he wants to clean up Pei's family, so he took the Queen's knife.

In this way, his reputation will be damaged, and even if people believe that the queen is at fault, but Concubine Shu and the child are fine, if he punishes the queen, people will say that he made a fuss over a molehill. Others will say that he is not.

On the contrary, it would be more beneficial for Pei Shoufu to resign by taking advantage of the Queen's matter.

It's just that this matter is unfair to Concubine Shu.

Xiao Wenyu blamed himself a little, glanced at Concubine Shu, then turned to look at Pei Shoufu, the head of the Grand Highness, and said in a deep voice: "Pei Shoufu has made great contributions to my Great Zhou. Since Shoufu made a request, I will spare the queen once."

Hearing Xiao Wenyu's words, Pei Shoufu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time affirmed one thing, despite his young age, His Majesty is actually a shrewd and wise emperor. Such an emperor, why not be prosperous after the big day? Changsheng, but unfortunately he can no longer do anything for Da Zhou.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

Pei Shoufu knelt to the bottom, then turned to look at the queen on one side.

When the queen heard that Xiao Wenyu had spared her, she was obviously relieved.

Looking at such a granddaughter, Pei Shoufu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his vision was too low.

Even if the emperor doesn't punish her now, she will be fine in the future. If the emperor dislikes her, she will be useless in the palace, and her life will not be easy.

But in the future, he can't help her anymore, so he just asks her to live in peace, and don't make the Pei family laugh again.

Pei Shoufu thoughtfully looked at the queen and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself in the future, and think twice before acting."

After finishing speaking, Pei Shoufu left, his steps were indescribably unsteady, and he was very old.

Xiao Wenyu, the leader of the main hall, waited until Pei Shoufu had left, looked at the queen in distaste, and ordered: "Send the queen back to Kunning Palace, if there is no order, you have to take a step out of Kunning Palace."

The queen was startled, she turned her head to look at Xiao Wenyu, seeing Xiao Wenyu's eyes full of disgust and disgust, the queen's heart sank, and she cried out uneasy: "Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't order Nanny Yuan..."

The queen didn't go to the end, Zhou Youjin came over to ask for instructions: "Please, empress, don't ask the slaves to do it."

The queen looked at Zhou Youjin in disbelief: "You slave dare to speak to me like this."

Zhou Youjin didn't even bother to pay attention to this woman. Right now she is only bearing the name of a queen. Even if she is still a queen, it is useless. Until now, she can't figure out the situation.

As soon as Zhou Youjin waved his hand, the eunuch came over and grabbed the queen and pushed her out.

The Queen was finally stunned.

Xiao Wenyu decreed that Yuan Nanny and other eunuchs and maids who were involved in poisoning and killing the emperor's heir were all executed.

In Chaoyang Palace, only Xiao Wenyu, Concubine Shu, and Lu Jiao were left.

Lu Jiao had given Concubine Shu the antidote before, seeing that the matter had come to an end, she got up and left the palace.

Xiao Wenyu waited until Lu Jiao left, walked up to Concubine Shu Wang Mengyao, and stretched out his hand to hold her: "Mengyao, you have been wronged this time."

Wang Mengyao didn't feel that she was being wronged. His Majesty had already worked hard to protect her and the child. She had to be considerate of him. As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sometimes she couldn't just go her own way. Things involved all aspects, and she knew all of this.

Wang Mengyao stretched out her hand to cover Xiao Wenyu's mouth: "Your Majesty has done enough for my concubines and children, and my concubines understand that your majesty is not easy."

After hearing Wang Mengyao's words, Xiao Wenyu couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hug Wang Mengyao lightly.

"Don't worry, I will help you get justice sooner or later."

Wang Mengyao smiled and leaned against Xiao Wenyu's chest: "Your Majesty did it for us, all the concubines know, thank you Your Majesty."

As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Wenyu has given her a lot. Not to mention that he is an emperor, he is a court official outside. Many families have three wives and four concubines, and they respect their wives and children more than they like them. Do not do worse than others.

Especially when she is pregnant, Xiao Wenyu often visits her, caring about what she wants to eat and what she likes, and usually reads to and communicates with the child in her womb. At this time, he is not the emperor, but just A father who cares about his children.

Since Wang Mengyao became pregnant, her relationship with Xiao Wenyu has become much closer. He seems to be a part of her life.

Xiao Wenyu was in an indescribably good mood when she heard Wang Mengyao's words. It's great to have someone who understands him.

Xiao Wenyu suddenly understood what his mother meant for them to marry only one wife. He looked down at Wang Mengyao in his arms. In fact, Wang Mengyao was not particularly beautiful. There were many people who were more beautiful than her in the palace, but she was free and easy, kind and considerate. Favorable and kind-hearted, he is kind to the child and understanding to him, and never blames him for his inappropriate behavior, which made Xiao Wenyu's heart involuntarily close to her.

Xiao Wenyu suddenly had an impulse, and when the Great Zhou was stabilized, he would only guard her to live alone, which is not bad.

Xiao Wenyu was thinking, and couldn't help leaning into Wang Mengyao's ear and whispering: "Mengyao, you and the child are doing well, I will treat you and the child well, and besides the queen, I have not touched any other concubines."
