If Su Tang hadn't come, Pei Xuan's death would have been very natural. The emperor personally sent all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to diagnose and treat him. They worked hard for half a month, but finally couldn't hold on and died.
No matter how sad Duke Pei was, he would never say a word about the emperor, but he would never trust Murong Zhao as much as before, even if he knew it was not Murong Zhao who wanted Pei Xuan to die.
But in the end, Pei Xuan was seriously injured because of Murong Zhao's blocking of the arrow. As a result, the old emperor had cut off Murong Zhao's arm, preventing the prince from having any thoughts of seizing the throne, and at the same time suppressing the actions of his other sons. , allowing himself to continue to sit firmly on the throne.
After all, the old emperor is an emperor. Although he is old, he is not completely confused. He can also understand the calculations and tricks in the harem, but he does not care about these. He only cares that this position is his own and cannot be given to his son easily. , his son cannot be tempted to rob it on his own.
Su Tang didn't get much information, so she couldn't figure out the old emperor's thoughts very clearly, but she still knew very well that it was best not to let anyone know about her rescue of Pei Xuan.
Moreover, she was also Song Yi's disciple. The old emperor had always been worried that Song Yi was on the side of the prince to help him, so he was on guard in every possible way. Otherwise, why didn't Su Tang and Song Yi dare to directly remind Pei Xuan every time? Say it.
Because there are some words that you can understand in your heart, but you cannot say them outright. This is a way to protect yourself wisely. On the road of politics, protecting yourself is the first priority, otherwise you will not see the day when you win.
The old emperor was afraid that there were two helpers around the prince, one civil and one military, one was Song Yi and the other was Pei Guogong. Now behind Su Tang was Song Yi, and behind Pei Xuan was Pei Guogong.
Su Tang was just cautious, and his direction was not wrong at all, because if the emperor knew that Su Tang saved Pei Xuan, he would go crazy.
It doesn't matter if she is a little peasant girl, even if she is a little peasant girl accepted by Song Yi, but if she is a little peasant girl with great ability and is a disciple of Song Yi, it is very important.
When he came to the capital, Su Tang decided to continue to hide his power and bide his time and not get involved in the affairs of these powerful guys in the capital.
On the other hand, when Pei Xuan heard that Su Tang said she wanted to live in the same courtyard with him, she was a little happy at first, and then became confused, "It seems against the rules for you to live with me!"
The two are serious brothers and sisters, but these so-called brothers and sisters are not related by blood. Pei Xuan will be sixteen years old after the Chinese New Year, and Su Tang will be ten years old. There are differences between men and women. When it comes to rules, so Living together hurt Su Tang's innocence after all.
Although Pei Xuan was very happy that his junior sister could live with him, after all, the young man still remembered that he had to abide by the rules.
"What does it mean to live together? It's not the same room. And now in your palace, I'm afraid you can't find a safer place than yours. Didn't Senior Brother say you want to protect me?"
Su Tang originally wanted to say that if she wasn't by his side, he wouldn't know how he would die, but in the end he couldn't bear it and asked him to protect her.
"Yes, I will protect you. You are right. Those people are not innocent anymore. You should live here first, so that I can know immediately if anything happens. When I feel better, I will deal with all those servants. Now, I will clean up a yard for you when the time comes. There are a large number of red plums planted in Xiangxue Garden. They look especially beautiful when it snows in winter. You must like it."
