Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 196: Unable to Save the Dead

Pei Xu knew that Pei Yunqing controlled the emperor, but he did not react at all. It was not until the prince died that he began to take action.

Therefore, without waiting for Pei Yunqing to arrive, he kidnapped the "Princess" and demanded to see the emperor.

The wife of Prince Su was killed by her maid, and this little maid actually dared to do such a thing as a substitute. This was no small matter. The marriage of Pei Xu and Xie Wanning was originally facilitated by the emperor.

However, Pei Yunqing would never let them meet, he didn't dare to take the risk.

Even if he knew, Pei Xu would be shocked once he found out that his father's death was due to the emperor's jealousy.

Therefore, Pei Xu did not meet the emperor, but met Pei Yunqing.

"Brother Xu, I didn't expect this maid to dare to do such a vicious thing, but the emperor's health has been poor recently, so Brother Xu should not disturb him."

Pei Yunqing looked embarrassed, but his eyes were full of vigilance.

Pei Xu knew that Pei Yunzhao would not let him see the emperor, and this was not his real purpose.

Now that the prince is dead, Pei Yunqing has become the actual person in power. He must find out Pei Yunqing's strength.

If this war breaks out, it will inevitably bring disaster to the people.

Pei Xu hoped that the people would be taken a little more into consideration during the war, at least so that they would not suffer for a long time.

Even though he still carries the hatred of his father, as a member of the Pei clan and the royal family, he should put the people in his heart, so that he can be worthy of the people's support.

Moreover, even if he was just a prince, he had received different treatment. Since he had already enjoyed the benefits, he could not betray the people.

"I never imagined that such a big thing would happen in the palace after I only went to Jinzhou City for a while. If I hadn't stumbled upon it when I returned this time, I would have been kept in the dark. After all, this marriage was arranged by His Majesty. My princess and the Concubine Shu are also aunts and nieces. I think this matter cannot be concealed from His Majesty and the Concubine Shu. That's why I wanted to see His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make the decision for my princess."

Pei Xu's words sounded very reasonable, but only he himself knew the truth.

Pei Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chunzhi.

He always kept his eyes on Pei Xu and Gu Jiaorong, and had no idea that there was such a person hiding in the palace.

If he had known Haruzhi earlier, he might have been able to work with her, but now it's too late.

"Brother Xu, I understand what you mean, but my father is not feeling well right now, so I'm afraid he can't work so hard. As for the Concubine Shu, if Brother Xu wants to see her, I won't stop you."

Pei Yunqing didn't think there was anything scary about a woman who lost her son. After all, his father had been defeated by him.

Pei Xu knew that Pei Yunqing had a problem of looking down on women. This problem did not seem very serious, but he would fall into it sooner or later.

Women should never be looked down upon. Even if they are born weaker than men, if they want to accomplish something, it is not completely impossible.

Didn’t Pei Yunqing also take advantage of women, so why does he look down on women?

Pei Xu saw through his thoughts, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he looked at him inconspicuously.

"Fifth Prince, if that's the case, it would be nice to meet the Concubine Shu. After all, the Concubine Shu is also considered to be the princess's family."

Pei Xu never thought about meeting the Xie family from beginning to end. After all, the Xie family had already known the truth and no longer cared. To them, Chunzhi and the third prince were just their pawns.

But it was different for Concubine Shu. Pei Yunzhao was her only son and her hope for so many years.

Pei Yunqing killed Pei Yunzhao, and Concubine Shu would not let Pei Yunqing go no matter what.

"Since Brother Xu wants to see the Concubine Shu, then there is no reason for me to stop him. I haven't seen the Concubine Shu for a long time. Let's go see her together."

Pei Yunqing spoke calmly, as if he was not really afraid of being cursed when he met Concubine Shu.

But Pei Yunqing has always been thick-skinned. Even today, he can still call Pei Xu "Brother Xu" with a smile.

"In that case, Your Highness, please come with me."

Pei Xu did not refuse. After all, without Pei Yunqing, the scene would not be lively.

She hadn't figured out how Pei Yunqing had managed to cause the prince to start a fire in broad daylight, but that didn't stop him from taking action.

What's more, Pei Yunqing had killed all his brothers, so there was no need to trouble Pei Xu to take action.

Although Pei Xu doesn't mind being criticized, he now has a child, so he naturally hopes to have a good reputation if possible.

Pei Yunqing didn't know what Pei Xu was up to, and why he agreed not to see the emperor, so he was a little worried. Could it be that Pei Xu's original purpose was to see Concubine Shu?

Concubine Shu is just a weak woman. Is it possible that she can do anything extraordinary?

Pei Yunqing really couldn't figure it out, and Pei Xu didn't give him any more time to think about it.

He brought Pei Yunqing and Chunzhi to Concubine Shu's palace.

Concubine Shu has been in a bad mood these days, or perhaps she seemed to have lost her goal since Pei Yunzhao died.

Even if she knew, Pei Yunzhao's death might not be that simple.

Shu Fei naturally wanted to avenge her son, but she was imprisoned in this palace by Pei Yunqingyou and could not even go out, let alone do other things.

The Xie family is no longer reliable now, but her family must be looking for another way out.

After all, a dead prince has no value anymore.

When Concubine Shu saw Pei Xu appear in front of her, she was a little overwhelmed to react for a moment, but when she looked at Pei Yunqing again, she couldn't help but sneer.

"The Fifth Prince has finally had the last laugh. He came to see me now. Do you want me to show off?"

Shufei was not a fool. Just by looking at the beneficiary, she knew who killed her son.

Pei Yunqing probably didn't think of covering it up. After all, no one in the palace could compete with him anymore, and even his father had become his prisoner.

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. What can I boast about? As for the last laugh, I don't understand it at all. I am deeply saddened by the death of the Crown Prince and my third brother. If I knew who did it, I would definitely avenge my two brothers."

Pei Yunqing is like the thief crying "stop thief". Everyone knows that he is involved in the deaths of his two brothers.

But even if everyone knew it, there was no evidence.

Pei Yunqing was sure of this, so he dared to say this.

So what if Pei Xu knew the truth?

Things have come to this point. Even if he has supernatural powers, he cannot save the two dead people.
