A queen who is unnamed conspired against Pepy, perhaps early in his reign. Weni was at this time a lesser palace official, but in his autobiographical text he claims to have been so trusted by the king that he was empowered to secretly investigate the matter, by himself. The outcome is unclear, but Weni seems to have prospered well.
The king later married two sisters, daughters of Khui, an influential official of Abydos. Pepy’s first heir Merenra was born to Ankhnes-meryra I, and his second heir Pepy Netjerkhau was born to her sister Ankhnesmeryra II.
