Those years when I was on the right path [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 47 The False Emperor and the Real Queen

Wei Tianxuan's tone was soft and gentle, as if calling someone who had been in love for hundreds of years, Pei Yun was slightly startled, her heart was inevitably touched by her tone.A slight bump on the stool is naturally no big deal.Pei Yun rubbed Wei Tianxuan's knee and straightened up quickly. She thought of what she had mentioned before: "I want to leave the palace, don't follow me."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Tianxuan would sneak out no matter what, how could she rest assured that Pei Yun would be alone outside the palace?With a nod on her face, to hide her inner emotions, she replied: "In the next time, I will pretend to be sick." When Wei Tianheng first succeeded to the throne, he often used his illness to prevaricate the ministers, but later he simply didn't even bother to find excuses. , Directly dominate the dynasty.The ministers were well aware that the real dragon was sick or indulged in the harem, but it was a pity that they met an unreasonable emperor. I don’t know how many outspoken ministers were ordered to be dragged to Caishikou and beheaded.Today's emperor, as usual, handles a lot of important government affairs in the early court, and he looks good. The important ministers thought that the former emperor was a wise man, and he was enlightened by You Desheng, and he worked hard to rectify the unhealthy trend of the government and the public. Now it is reported that he is seriously ill The news, I don't know whether it is true or not for a while.Some people think that the old tricks of the emperor are repeated, while others are really worried about it.After all, there were precedents in the previous dynasty, and more than one emperor was dragged down by lust.

In the past few times, the emperor blocked the ministers who came to spy out the limelight from outside the palace gate, but this time he took the lead in summoning the minister in charge of the political affairs hall. The idea of ​​continuing.In the eyes of the ministers of the political affairs hall, the current emperor was lying on the dragon bed, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression was haggard and lifeless. Without further words, he immediately nodded and agreed to the matter.The Son of Heaven is dying, if he does not find his heir as soon as possible, I am afraid that disasters will continue in the future, but it is a pity that the Son of Heaven has just cheered up and reopened the eyes of sages, and he has encountered such a catastrophe.

Just as Pei Yun expected, Prince Huai'an, the youngest brother of the first emperor, became an important candidate to succeed the Datong, but he was afraid that there would be disputes over the order of Zhaomu and the etiquette of his biological father's entry into the Taimiao. They all suggested that only Prince Huai'an should be invited to enter the palace and be relegated to be the son of the Empress, and that the Prince of Huai'an should not be allowed to enter the capital again, and those who knew who escorted the prince to come should be dealt with.On this matter, Wei Tianxuan didn't bother arguing with the ministers, as long as he followed Pei Yun's wishes and took the youngest son of Huai'an Wang as his heir.The Zaifu and his party left the palace worriedly, and began to discuss the candidate for the crown prince. The remaining officials naturally thought that the emperor was terminally ill, and no longer suspected that she would pretend to be ill.In a short period of time, all political affairs were delegated to the Political Affairs Hall for discussion by the prime ministers, while the gate of the Taiji Palace was closed tightly, and no one was allowed to have an audience.When there were no outsiders, how could Wei Tianxuan look so tired?Pei Yun left the palace as usual, and Wei Tianxuan went to the inner court's secret prison before following up.

Zhang Shun, with disheveled hair, looked like a ghost, and his fat body began to become shriveled. His hands were like haggard wood, and he grabbed the cell door, and he could not make a sound, only babbling and babbling.The dungeon was dark, with gray mice scurrying everywhere beside the damp straw, and the dripping water flowed along the mossy stone wall, leaving a crisp sound in the silent cell.Wei Tianxuan didn't like this harsh environment. She had seen similar scenes in the dungeons of the Demon Cult, and I don't know how many righteous people were forced to kill.Frowning, she waved back the servants, looked at Zhang Shun, and asked without expectation: "Where is the corpse?" The paper and paper had already been handed to Zhang Shun, but as expected, The rice paper was torn into pieces, and the wolf hair was folded in two. "If you tell me the location, I can let you live." This was Wei Tianxuan's retreat, but Zhang Shun didn't want to appreciate it.

He could only pin his hopes on Pei Yun's men and wait for her to find out the whereabouts of Wei Tianheng.Wei Tianxuan stayed in the prison for a while, feeling cold all over her body. After staring at Zhang Shun for a while, she turned her head and left the prison, telling the guards: "Don't let anyone enter here." There are not many things to deal with, the most important thing for her to do is to go out of the palace to look for Pei Yun.However, she had to go to Baiyu Tower first. She knew that Aunt Xiao and her party had been released after she entered the palace, and she secretly told others to take care of her, but she might as well go there herself for peace of mind.But what surprised her was that the Baiyu Tower was closed, and there were a few people coming and going who didn't know the situation, and even grabbed passers-by to ask a few questions, and finally came to the conclusion that "it was blocked" and "who offended you?" Class ambiguous answer.

The narrow alley leading to the backyard is still the same as before. The broken baskets at the corner emit a rotten smell, and the stray yellow dog clamps its tail and starts barking.Wei Tianxuan climbed over the wall and entered the backyard familiarly, and immediately saw the sisters drying quilts in the yard.After this questioning, I found out that after they were released by Zhang Shun, the Baiyu Tower was closed, and those who were willing to stay stayed, and those who were unwilling were given a silver tael to keep them away from this place.

The news in the backyard spread quickly, and Xiao Ruolan's angry and concerned voice sounded: "You still dare to come back? Who told you to go to the place of right and wrong in the palace? You think your life is too long, don't you? "The things here greeted Wei Tianxuan all at once, and moved left and right, but in the end they still couldn't block the veil that fell on his face.Wei Tianxuan responded with a playful smile, but Xiao Ruolan was really angry this time, sitting at the stone table and wiping away tears.Seeing this, Wei Tianxuan hurriedly apologized.

Xiao Ruolan grabbed Wei Tianxuan's hand and said nervously: "Let's go, leave this place immediately, you have to swear to me that you will never go to the palace again!"

"Why is Aunt Xiao so afraid of this?" Wei Tianxuan didn't understand. Xiao Ruolan seldom lost her composure, but whenever the palace was mentioned, she couldn't restrain her grief and indignation. Could it be that she had something to do with the deep palace compound?Wei Tianxuan looked around and saw that there was no outsider, so she whispered, "Wei Tianheng is dead."

These five simple words made Xiao Ruolan's complexion turn pale immediately. She grabbed Wei Tianxuan's hand and asked forcefully, "What did you say? Did you—"

Wei Tianxuan was hurt by Xiao Ruolan's scratching, she quickly shook her head and said: "It has nothing to do with me, it's just some big tonic pills and excessive indulgence."

Xiao Ruolan looked like a tree that was about to rot, her expression was ashen, her lips trembled for a while, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.She slowly let go of Wei Tianxuan's grip, wiped away her tears, and replied with some despair: "Don't go to that place again, I've already let him down."

"What?" Wei Tianxuan raised her eyebrows. Seeing that Xiao Ruolan didn't answer, she smiled again, and changed the subject, "I have something to do." As for not returning to the palace, she couldn't help Xiao Ruolan. Make a commitment.Leaving aside the task, as long as Pei Yun is in the palace for a moment, she will stay in the palace to protect her life.Wei Tianxuan was afraid of seeing Xiao Ruolan cry, so she floated a few feet away, and left Baiyulou in a hurry, regardless of the shouts behind her.As long as Xiao Ruolan and her party are safe, she will be relieved.

Pei Yun went back to Pei's mansion first, and Wei Tianxuan found an inn near Pei's mansion. Whenever he saw Pei Yun's carriage, he immediately followed her.When it comes to matters related to the safety of the heroine of the small world, Mr. System is not stingy at all, and knows everything.Wei Tianxuan didn't wait too long. The next day, she saw a carriage with a green curtain coming out of Pei's mansion. Pei Yun was really bold. Looking from the curtain of the carriage that was blown up by the wind, it was obvious that she and a little maid Qingyuan were the only ones. , Are you really not afraid of encountering any dangerous things?

Wei Tianxuan bought a fast horse from Xishi, guessing that Pei Yun had already left the city, so he started galloping the horse.The car drove towards the remote mountain road, and the dust and smoke flying on the spacious official road gradually receded. Wei Tianxuan raised his head and saw the Taoist temple hidden in the forest, and immediately understood where Pei Yun was going.This Chengtian temple used to be the royal Taoist temple of this dynasty, and many royal disciples practiced Taoism in it. However, during the time of the first emperor, Buddhism replaced Taoism. Over time, some people forgot about this once prominent and lively royal Taoist temple. However, why did Pei Yun come here?Wei Tianxuan didn't think for too long, the system's siren sounded immediately, and the most common people in this mountain forest were bandits.People who are forced by their livelihood have no choice but to become bandits and make a living by robbing passers-by, but once the evil thoughts start, how can they be stopped?

The sound of the horse's hooves was very clear in the silent mountain forest, Wei Tianxuan had already seen Pei Yun's carriage, and those young and strong men who kept coming around with weapons.There was only a long neigh of the horse, her feet were on the saddle, and she was like an arrow off the string through the branch, and landed firmly in front of the carriage in an instant.Pei Yun came here several times, didn't he know there were bandits?Why no guards?Wei Tianxuan came up with a few weird thoughts, she didn't ask Pei Yun, but found the answer when she made friends with a big guy recently.These people are just bandits in disguise, their temples are protruding and their eyes are shining brightly, obviously they belong to the Lian family.

"You're still here." Pei Yun lifted the curtain and sighed softly.The situation in front of her was beyond her expectations. This road has never been traveled by people, and I have never heard of bandits infesting. Where did these flesh-faced men come from?Passing by by chance or came here specifically for her, Pei Yun?If it was aimed at her, who sent it? "Be careful, if you really can't do it, just go by yourself, you... are more important than me." Seeing Wei Tianxuan standing in front of him, a heart that was flustered by nervousness slowly calmed down.Before Pei Yun realized it, she took the initiative to choose to trust and rely on Wei Tianxuan.She appeared in front of her like a hero, blocking a lot of swords and swords. This scene seems to have happened many times, right?Pei Yun held the curtain of the carriage tightly, her eyes full of tenderness and tenderness.She is different, the moment she appeared in front of me, the moment she sneered at Gao Linglong and her party and maintained her dignity as a queen, I knew she was different from Wei Tianheng, different from the people I met in the past Anyone.Pei Yun pressed one of her hands to her heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Your Highness—" Qing Yuan looked worried. She was also a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken.She never thought that Wei Tianxuan would come, she heard the news that the emperor was seriously ill at the mansion, could it be that she deliberately pretended to be sick, just to come out of the palace?

"Shh." Pei Yun's gaze was fixed on Wei Tianxuan.

Wei Tianxuan's swordsmanship is unique. In her world, even her father and brother are not her opponents. It's a pity that her reputation as a jerk outweighs all her abilities.Originally, it didn't take too long to deal with these people, but Wei Tianxuan couldn't move, she couldn't afford to gamble, and when there were many people, she didn't know if someone would hurt Pei Yun, so she could only stick to the carriage, and if Anyone who approaches will shoot him dead with a sword.In doing so, she also gave this group of people a way out.They were not stupid, seeing four or five people on their side fell down, and those who knew that they couldn't hold the carriage at once could only give up and leave.

After watching their figures disappear, Wei Tianxuan breathed a sigh of relief, sweat dripping down his cheeks, but the next moment he saw a plain and a brocade handkerchief, and the faint fragrance lingered in the air. The bottom of the nose is a little itchy.Wei Tianxuan suddenly wanted to take Pei Yun into his arms, but she restrained her slightly frivolous thoughts.And Pei Yun, after wiping off her sweat, suddenly threw himself into her arms and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You... I don't know what to say about you. I think you should come, but I don't think you should come."

Ruanxiang Wenyu was in her arms, for a moment, Wei Tianxuan's body was so stiff that she couldn't help herself, but she quickly got rid of that emotion, her hands slowly fell on Pei Yun's waist, gently rubbing with. "What will you do if I don't come?" Wei Tianxuan sighed, and said again, "Are you going to Chengtian Temple? May I know why now?"

"I'll tell you when we get to Chengtianguan." Pei Yun let go of Wei Tianxuan, her eyes were filled with water like the mist on the Hengjiang River in autumn.At this time, it is obviously impossible to persuade Wei Tianxuan to return to the palace.She didn't know how many dangers lay ahead, so she said selfishly that with Wei Tianxuan by her side, there was always someone she could rely on.

This place is not too far away from Chengtian Temple, the carriage can no longer move forward, and it climbs up the bluestone steps, and the incense-filled costumes of the past are no longer seen.The red paint on the gate was peeling off in the wind and rain, and there were only a few lazily young Taoist priests sitting at the gate playing with the grass. When they saw tourists coming, they just rolled their eyelids lazily.Pei Yun had been here quite a few times. She walked towards the temple familiarly, and didn't stop until she saw an old Taoist priest in a blue robe.

"You're here." The old Taoist obviously only had Pei Yun in his eyes. He didn't know and didn't want to ask who was beside Pei Yun, so he turned his body sideways and pointed in the direction of the back mountain.Pei Yun nodded at the old Taoist priest, and then led Wei Tianxuan towards the back mountain.

Wei Tianxuan can be sure that this is a strange place, but when she stepped into the temple, she felt a strange feeling. The closer she got to the destination, the more her eyelids twitched, as if she was approaching something. Shocking secret.She wanted to ask Mr. System, but that guy had been pretending to be dead all the year round and refused to give an answer.

"Do you know where this is?" Pei Yun suddenly stopped.

If he hadn't stopped in time, he almost bumped into Pei Yun's body, Wei Tianxuan blinked and said, "The former imperial Taoist temple?"

Pei Yun nodded, and asked again: "Then do you know who is buried here?"

Wei Tianxuan was startled and shook his head.Is there anything unusual about the people buried in the back mountain of this Taoist temple?

Pei Yun's face became solemn, as if she was treating a respected teacher, at least when she was treating the emperor, she never showed such an expression.She said slowly: "Princess Changping of Zhenguo." Seeing that Wei Tianxuan didn't answer, she led her forward until she stopped before a stele without words, "As usual, there is a princess mausoleum. It's not this small mound and the insignificant stele, but Princess Changping of Zhenguo is different from the previous princesses, or she should be called one of her former titles, Emperor Tiansheng." Pei Yun said, A clue was solved, and the permissions of certain data in the system were also opened.Emperor Tiansheng, also known as Princess Changping, is the eldest sister of the first emperor, who has been in charge of state affairs for more than 20 years. The throne of the first emperor did not come from his father, but was passed on to him by Princess Changping, but he himself hates it very much. at this point.Continuously stripping Princess Changping of her imperial title, and even relocating her to Chengtian Temple.When Emperor Tiansheng changed his Taoism to Buddhism, as time passed, no one cares about this place, and no one dares to mention the old things at the beginning.

"Princess Changping had a great influence on the late emperor." Pei Yun had a sneering smile on her face. She glanced at Wei Tianxuan and continued, "The first emperor never had a princess, but it doesn't mean that the harem never gave birth to daughters. , but the first emperor drowned his daughters when they were born, and there is no record in the royal genealogy. There are occasional exceptions, but in the end they still did not escape the bad luck."

When Wei Tianxuan heard this, he felt his hair stand on end.To say that Wei Tianheng is tyrannical, maybe he learned it from the former emperor?It seems that you can see those innocent babies crying in the merciless arms of the palace people, while their mothers are crying from the sidelines.So many lives were lost just because of the first emperor's remarks like "the rooster wakes up the morning"?It was too cruel.Furthermore, whether he admits it or not, his throne is obtained from a woman.

"Princess Changping had an heir." Pei Yun took a deep breath and continued, "It's just that she still passed the throne to the first emperor. This decision made all her heirs slaughtered." Her father After experiencing the disaster at the beginning, I always shake my head when I mention it, full of regret.

Wei Tianxuan's expression became painful, she looked at Pei Yun, hesitated for a while, and then said: "What is the relationship between you and Princess Changping?"
