Two hundred and forty-eight chapters a corner
Xu Yan's face was gloomy. Looking at Peng Yue sitting opposite her, she tried hard to suppress all her doubts and asked, "What's the matter with you this time?" Peng Yue picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip, and smiled at Xu Yan: "I believe that your majesty has heard of my marriage with Lu Huai. I am here to send us invitations to Your Majesty." After saying that, he pushed the invitation that had been prepared long ago in the direction of Xu Yan.
Xu Yan took the invitation and opened it and saw a few obvious big words on it, marking their date of marriage. The first time he said to Xia Zhe was on the fifth day of next month, on the late autumn and winter solstice. Xu Yan only glanced at it and threw it aside. Peng Yue saw her movements without even pausing her movements, but an inexplicable smile appeared on her lips.
Faced with Peng Yue's calm expression, Xu Yan couldn't help but ask first: "You know what happened in the past few days?" Peng Yue raised her eyebrows and did not deny what she said: "Yes, I know." Xu Yan frowned and said: "Then don't you want to say anything to Gu?" Peng Yue chuckled and looked at Xu Yan: "What does Your Majesty hope that I will say to you?"
Xu Yan was so angry that she was so indifferent that she didn't understand what was wrong that it changed Peng Yue's attitude so 180 degrees. Her tone suddenly became stern and she looked straight at Peng Yue: "Since you know, why did you have nothing to say to Gu as the most useful person in Gu's sect?"
Peng Yue looked at her with a furious look, as if she was looking at a defeated general. Her eyes gradually covered with frost, and there was no shortage of contempt for Xu Yan: "Your Majesty, enjoy these last few days of life, your good days are coming to an end." After saying that, she smiled sarcastically at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan heard her words, all the shock and doubt came up. She asked Peng Yue and said, "What do you mean?"
Peng Yue seemed to be in a good mood, and didn't care about Xu Yan's tone, and said directly: "It's not interesting, it's just a statement of the facts. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that Your Majesty is the one who just woke up and didn't know what happened in the court these days." Looking at Xu Yan's expression, her smile on her lips became deeper: "Since Your Majesty says that I am the most useful person around you, I will answer your doubts for you."
Xu Yan now understood that what happened in the court might be far more serious than she thought, and it might even become the most difficult thing she has faced in so many years. So she didn't say anything to Peng Yue, but just listened quietly to her.
Peng Yue seemed very satisfied with Xu Yan's silence. She was in a good mood and said to Xu Yan: "You don't know yet. Just a few days ago, Lord Yunlang had already promoted you... what's the name? Oh, Wenliang." Speaking of this, she smiled strangely: "He pulled this little wolf cub off the stage without hesitation."
Her body approached Xu Yan and attached herself to her ear and whispered: "The scene at that time was so wonderful. It's a pity that Your Majesty didn't see it. Look at my memory, I almost forgot that he was the one who promoted him."
Xu Yan looked at her coldly, and after she finished speaking, she said to her: "Are you finished speaking? After you finish speaking, let your face stay away from the lonely. After only a few days of lonely and coma, have you forgotten the etiquette of the monarch and the minister?"
Peng Yue seemed to have never expected Xu Yan to say this to her. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she was quickly filled with joy. She nodded to Xu Yan, as if Xu Yan's words just now had no effect on her: "Okay, what Your Majesty said is of course right. I am apologizing to Your Majesty."
Xu Yan looked at Peng Yue's actions, but had no desire to communicate with her again. To be honest, after hearing Peng Yue's words, Xu Yan is more concerned about the so-called power issue, but why Peng Yue became like this now. What happened to her coma these days, even Peng Yue, who has always been her right-hand man, would say these ruthless words.
Before Xu Yan could ask this question, Xia Zhixian, who had been standing beside them, couldn't help it. She raised her hand and slapped Peng Yue, and said to Peng Yue fiercely: "What are you? You are just a dog in the door! When His Majesty was good to you in the past, you shook your tail and pretended to be obedient begging you for the benefits His Majesty gave you; now His Majesty is in decline, you turn your head and leave! If you don't say anything in this way, the most disgusting thing is your current face! If you betray, you betray him, and you have to come to His Majesty to show off!"
As soon as Xia Zhi's words and deeds came out, Xu Yan and Peng Yue were stunned. The air in the room instantly condensed for a second. Xu Yan was about to make a sound to comfort the two of them, but Peng Yue slowly burst out laughing. Her hands covered the left half of the face that had been beaten by Xia Zhi, and she laughed desolately and arrogantly, which made Xu Yan unable to help but get goosebumps.
Peng Yue looked at Xu Yan coldly, with unconcealed sarcasm in her eyes: "Your Majesty is good to me? When will Your Majesty be sincerely good to me?" Xu Yan was stunned, and never expected that she would say such words in front of her.
However, Peng Yue's venting continued. She was not afraid to hurt Xu Yan with the greatest malicious intention: "From the beginning, Your Majesty made friends with me because of my sister Peng Xing, right? I have lived under the shadow of Peng Xing since I was a child! Others only say that I am smart and smart, and they praise me for the pride of the Peng family; but when they turn around, they get along better with Peng Xing. Even my parents are closer to Peng Xing! I am just a tool, this is true in the eyes of my parents, and even more so in the eyes of His Majesty!"
Xu Yan had never heard Peng Yue say such things, and she didn't know that this was the truest thought in Peng Yue's heart. Peng Yue looked at Xu Yan fiercely. At this moment, something sharp in her heart seemed to shave her heart hard.
Peng Yue's voice was a little crying: "You all said you like me on your face, but you want to make friends with Peng Xing even more. To be honest, isn't your Majesty's value of me because I'm your handkerchief? But your Majesty made handkerchiefs with me at the beginning because of Peng Xing!"
Xu Yan never thought so, nor did she know that Peng Yue always cared about Peng Xing so much in her heart. What Xu Yan couldn't deny was that outside the exam room that day, the first person she noticed was Peng Xing, and the second was Peng Yue, who was unknown around her. But since they got along together, she had habitually searched for Peng Yue, the most stable among the three people for anything. She never regarded her as a tool to consolidate the royal power, nor did she treat her as Peng Xing's accessory.
However, Peng Yue seemed to have finally opened her long-closed heart. At this time, she didn't care about any logic and said to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty, do you believe in me completely? If you really believe in me, you will hand over the position of the state superintendent to me instead of that young boy! I have been working hard by your side for so many years and planning for you, for fear of making a mistake! But what about you, what about you, how did you treat me?"
