Pei Youan followed the footprints in the snow and chased him to the back mountain. He saw a black figure in front of him taking advantage of the momentum and climbing up the mountain wall that was more than ten feet high. His body was like a spider and extremely flexible.
Outside the mountain wall is Old Lin. Once he escapes, it will be difficult to find him again on such a snowy night.
Without stopping, Pei You'an threw the sword in his hand forward. The sword was like a snake, piercing the air and chasing the black figure. The man climbed up the wall and jumped out, ready to climb out. At that moment, the tip of the sword caught up to him and penetrated his back shoulder. The man was stunned and fell from the wall to the ground.
A guard came after him. He saw the man struggling to get up from the ground and was about to escape again. He went up and restrained him on the ground. Pei You'an quickly walked closer, leaned down, quickly pinched the man's jaw, and made a sound with his fingers. With a strong force, and with a slight "click", the man screamed, his entire jaw was dislocated, and a bitten wax ball rolled out of his mouth.

In the back of the palace, Zhou stayed up all night.
Today there is an early court meeting, it is almost five o'clock in the morning, but the emperor still has not returned.
There is no news from her people.
This is the second time since the prince¡¯s wedding night that Xiao Lie secretly left the palace late at night.
Zhou has determined that the place where Xiao Lie went that night must be the place in Ci'en Temple.
She can also deduce that if the emperor leaves the palace again tonight, it will most likely be the same place as last time.
She is not ignorant of the consequences of sending people to spy on the Emperor's traces, in case they are exposed, but she cannot suppress her desire.
The queens of Goryeo and Annan will soon be admitted to the harem and canonized as concubines. Not only that, after the beginning of spring, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household will also preside over the selection of beautiful girls, and the harem will continue to be full.
Mrs. Zhou understands that this is no longer the palace of the Prince of Wuding, and the situation in which she has been monopolizing her husband for more than twenty years will never return. The emperor will soon have a woman younger and more beautiful than her. From now on, even though she still rules the harem and has a high status, only she understands the feeling.
" But if that's all it is, that's it. The Zhou family will never be so stupid that they will take risks just because the emperor accepts a large number of people in the harem.
Over the years, her suspicions have made her smell an abnormal and dangerous aura from the emperor's ordinary move of expanding the harem.
First, the Crown Princess caused an unexpected disaster by talking nonsense, and then she managed to get over it, but from then on, the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince began to hate Xiao Lie. One wave after another, his brother went too far and failed to claim credit, which made the Zhou family disgraced and implicate the prince again.
In fact, when Xiao Lie came to the throne, some ministers from the Ministry of Rites who were full and had nothing to do cited scriptures and suggested that the emperor expand the harem. But at that time, Xiao Lie sent them all back on the grounds that the state affairs were undecided and he had no intention of having a harem.
The emperor¡¯s decision to open a harem at this time was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
" If the emperor was just dissatisfied before, then this moment may be the real beginning of the prince's crisis.
Xiao Lie is in his prime, and he still has plenty of time. If he changes his mind, who in the world can stop him?
From the day he brought the 16-year-old Pei You'an to Wuding, perhaps out of a woman's intuition, Zhou felt that Xiao Lie was unusually fond of this so-called "old friend".
And the root of all this may be in the courtyard of Ci'en Temple.
Now, even for her son, she must find out everything about the emperor.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, she was extremely careful. Even the prince did not know about it. The person she sent was also a bodyguard she had secretly used since the Wuding period. If she failed, he would surely commit suicide on the spot by taking poison. She was very sure.
Zhou was lying down with her clothes on, and finally fell asleep. She was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. She got up in horror and found that it was already dawn. She hurriedly summoned Nanny Lin to ask about something. The palace servants were ordered to come out. After a while, Nanny Lin did not After entering, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
The footsteps were unusually heavy, hitting the ground one after another. The sound was getting closer and closer, as if it contained anger and shook the eardrums.
Who else in this palace would walk like this?
Zhou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she quickly climbed down from the phoenix bed. After running out a few steps, she saw the people in front of the palace kneeling on the ground, and the hanging curtain suddenly moved and was lifted up by someone. , with the slight sound of the golden hook falling to the ground, Xiao Lie's figure appeared in front of Zhou.
Zhou stopped suddenly and faced two gloomy glances from Xiao Lie.When she said it, for a moment, she could hardly bear it. The resentment and unwillingness that had been suppressed in her heart for more than twenty years were about to blurt out.
But she finally swallowed it forcefully. Everything is for the prince.
Now she wants her son to be more tolerant. At least, he must not lose his composure while he is still unable to confront the lord of the world.
Back then, when Emperor Tianxi was getting married, the young Xiao Lie also respected the late emperor's order, married her, and had a son with her. In the past twenty years, even though there was no other woman around him, Zhou knew that this man had a heart of stone. He had never loved her and would never be moved by her tears. This time he sent her away, and soon a new person would enter the palace. If she didn't have a son, she might never be able to return to this middle palace again in her life.
Fortunately, there is still a prince.
Sooner or later, she will definitely come back, walk through the north main gate of the Central Palace, and take back everything that originally belonged to her today.
She just stared at the prince and walked past him step by step.
Unfortunately, sadly, fate often plays tricks on people. Giving people hope, but in the end, it is often just to make people feel more deeply the pain of having their hopes dashed.
At this moment, Ms. Zhou didn¡¯t know that this was indeed the last time she would walk through Kunning Gate.
¡¡
Xiao Yintang stared at his mother's retreating back, his eyes gloomy, his shoulders moved slightly, and he was about to get up from the ground, but his hand was suppressed by Zhang Fengtong beside him.
"Don't be impulsive! The queen mother is no longer safe. Even if you go to speak for her in front of Long live again, Long live won't listen. She may turn her anger on you. Fortunately, the queen mother is still in the throne. The prince should be patient now and wait for opportunities in the future. Move, concubine, this must be the mother's wish."
Zhang Fengtong lowered his voice and said quickly.
Xiao Yintang stared at her, put down his hands, stood up from the ground, turned around, and headed towards the East Palace.
¡¡
On that day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all surprised when they learned that the queen moved to the palace and went to Beiyuan to pray for the people. The Ministry of Rites issued a document and expressed it. The ministers secretly discussed and thought about it. Although they still didn't know what was going on, they also knew that after Zhou Jin, the Queen of Zhou could no longer tolerate the emperor at all.
In front of Zhou¡¯s house, everyone stayed away. Zhang's family has always been concerned about things that harm their own kind, and Mr. Zhang has been ill for the past few days. Under the peaceful court, invisible undercurrents surged silently.
There has been a lot of commotion in the Pei family's big house these days.
Zhou Hou moved to the palace to pray for blessings. Who didn't know that the emperor couldn't tolerate her anymore. Touching her would be like making the prince look bad. I heard that a bride would soon come into the palace, and it was really hard to predict what would happen in the future.
Mrs. Xin regretted letting her son marry Zhou Jiao'e in the first place, but the raw rice became cooked rice. Now she could only admit that she was unlucky. Although she still did not dare to show off her power towards Zhou Jiao'e, she was no longer as tolerant as before, and her face was dull. It was very ugly, and Pei Xiuzhi lost his patience. Zhou Jiao'e held her belly in her hands and threatened her, but it didn't work. There was constant crying in the house all day long. In the end, Mrs. Xin didn't want to be secretly laughed at by the second room, so she ordered someone to close the courtyard door. In the name of raising a baby, Zhou Jiao'e was not allowed to leave the hospital at will. Zhou Jiao'e seemed to have finally realized that most of her background had suddenly disappeared. Thinking that she would have to rely on the son in her belly in the future, she gradually restrained herself and started to raise the baby, and the family finally became quiet.
This end of the year has passed by in such a hurry.
Spring has arrived, and during these days, Jiafu began to pack her bags.
Just a few months ago, Mrs. Meng, who had returned to Quanzhou, sent a letter. The letter mentioned that her grandmother Hu was infected with wind-heat at the end of summer. Although she recovered from the disease, after autumn, she His body looked a little weaker. At that time, the old lady in the Pei family was also seriously ill, and Jia Fu had no choice but to reply to the letter and send some medicinal materials along with it to show her filial piety. Now that the New Year is over, Pei You'an and Ding are worried about being at home. Finally, they have nothing to do. They are hot and happy again. Knowing that Hu's health is not as good as before, he took the initiative to propose a few days ago that he would personally accompany Jiafu back to Quanzhou to visit relatives in the spring.
" A few days later, in Quanzhou in March, Erythrina trees were blooming everywhere in and outside the city. Such a sight was extremely rare to see in the capital city. Jia Fu was very affectionate towards the place where she was born and raised. She had such thoughts in her heart at the end of last year. She had just been born in Rexiao, and in the past few months, although Pei You'an closed the door to thank guests, he spent all day in the study. Here, he might be writing papers, painting, or teaching her to read. It seemed that he was spending his days leisurely, but Jiafu felt that he always had his own thoughts, and he never showed them in front of her, so she found it difficult to talk about them. She had been suppressing it in her heart, but unexpectedly, he noticed it and offered to accompany her back to Quanzhou.
Jiafu was so happy that she packed her things early, chose a good day, and looked forward to it day and night. Finally, the day of departure came. The wind was beautiful and the sun was beautiful. Together with Pei You'an, she said goodbye to Mrs. Xin. Jiafu took Nanny Liu and sandalwood. Xiang and others, Pei You'an, accompanied by Yang Yun and several other entourages, a total of ten people, arrived at the dock, boarded the ship, and sailed southward in the face of the south wind that was already blowing with some sway.
