In the end, Empress Meng prevaricated Empress Dowager Meng like this: "Auntie, I was not pregnant before, but I can still use this method to plot against my sixth brother, lest he murder our children and damage the long-term interests of the Meng family in order to gain power, and also in the future. It’s not good for us! It’s just that now that I’m pregnant, Sixth Brother is so emotional and reasonable, how can he relax his surveillance on me?”
"In this situation, I contacted Jiaxing behind his back. Not to mention whether it was successful or not, if I did contact him, I might as well have given him directions!"
"That's true!" Empress Dowager Meng's face changed when she heard this, and she said thoughtfully, "In this way, you ask Luyin and Luixin to tell the Ai family how they contact the outside world? The Ai family will handle this matter! The Ai family is now a He's an old man, and he doesn't usually do anything shrewd. He must have the power now, and also keep an eye on you. He's too busy to do anything, so he may not have the time to pay attention to what's going on in the Ai family?"
After hearing this, Queen Meng felt bitter in her heart and said to herself: "Auntie, you don't even know that Lu Yin and Lu Xin are dead. This shows how weak the power in this palace has been! How dare you do such a thing? Woolen cloth?"
Not to mention that Lu Yin and Lu Xin were not from Zheng Hou at all, and they had not told Queen Meng about their contact with Ge Zhongpeng and Dong Liang. Even if she had told them, the Queen had not yet made up her mind to fall out with Rong Suihe, and How could it be possible to tell Queen Mother Meng
After hesitating for a while, he finally told the Queen Mother truthfully: "Aunt, Lu Yin and Lu Xin... are gone!"
"No more?!" The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and asked subconsciously, "When did it disappear? Why didn't it exist?!"
"... He disappeared two days ago. I don't know the specific reason. He said he died suddenly." How could Queen Meng tell her the truth? So he just said vaguely, "For some reasons, I transferred them away from me. They were working as stewards in the side hall, and we didn't meet every day. When I received the news, they were gone."
Queen Mother Meng gasped and said: "Silly boy! Do you need to talk about this? Gui Yu must have done it!!!"
She sneered and said, "The Ai family said that the Ai family specially brought a doctor here to diagnose your pulse. Why are you trying to reason? Is it because you have been threatened by him for a long time?"
I just felt bad, "You kid, why didn't you tell the Yi family about such a big thing earlier?"
Queen Meng didn't know how to answer her. Before putting it aside, she definitely didn't care about taking the opportunity to blackmail Meng Guiyu, but now the handle and life were in Meng Guiyu's hands, and Meng Guiyu's eyes and ears were all around. , but how dare you do it again
While she was hesitating, Empress Dowager Meng was already shedding tears. She asked and answered: "Yes, it must be because you are afraid that the Ai family will worry! After all, although the Ai family is holding the status of the Queen Mother, they actually have no power. Their safety is still If you want Lai Guiyu... If you tell the Ai family, the Ai family may not be able to do anything about it! In this case, you have always been filial, so naturally you will keep silent!"
"Poor child, you must be very scared these days, right?"
"You have to endure this... What kind of fate do you think our aunt and nephew deserve? We have to suffer like this no matter what we do?"
"Auntie, since Sixth Brother has allowed me to be pregnant until now, he obviously doesn't have any ill intentions towards me." The Queen felt complicated after hearing the Queen Mother's heartfelt distress. She pursed her lips for a while and then said softly, "After all, we are the only ones left with the Meng family. How many people..."
"We are the only ones left in the Meng family, and he refused to recruit his brothers and nephews to come and help!" Empress Dowager Meng interrupted her bitterly. Originally, the Empress Dowager was concerned about Meng's death, and almost all the first, second, and third bedrooms were The army was wiped out, but the fourth house suffered almost no losses. It also took advantage of the situation to rise and took almost all the advantages. It was very suspected that the fourth house was involved in the murder of the first house, the second house and the third house!
Later, when Empress Meng arrived at Shanglin Garden, she deliberately said many words to sow discord in front of this aunt, which made the Empress Dowager almost convinced of the tragedy of Meng's family, the tragedy of herself and the emperor being trapped in Shanglin Garden, the current decline of imperial power, etc. , anyway, all the bad things are all caused by Meng Guiyu!
If it weren't for the fact that the situation was stronger than others, the Queen Mother would have wanted to fight Meng Guiyu several times!
At this time, the situation changed. Queen Meng wanted to say a few good words to Meng Guiyu, but the Queen Mother could no longer listen. She only told the Queen with tears about the fate of her aunt and nephew, and finally the Queen said something nice. After persuasion, he reluctantly packed up and left.
Moreover, after the Queen Mother returned to her Xinshou Palace, she did not intend to sit still and wait for death. She summoned Chi Zuosi to discuss alone: "Fourteen filial piety, I don't know how much I have been punished by Meng Guiyu these days, but I am actually a Don’t say a word to me! The traces of sound and heart that rescued her from the imperial city before are gone now. We haven’t heard any news about such a big thing. It can be seen that 80% of the people in this palace have taken refuge. I got that kid... That kid was good at winning people's hearts early on, and when he was still serving as Uncle Chongxin, many people in the Ai family were willing to tip off information to him."
"Although the Ai family knew this at that time, they didn't take it to heart!"
"Who knew that his ambition would reach this point, and he would step on the corpses of his direct uncles to climb up, and now even the Ai family and the queen can't help but look at his face!!!"
Chi Zuosi comforted him and said, "Mom, please calm down! Chongxinhou now says that he has all the power in the government, but think about it, he has only been in charge for a few days? How can he convince the public? In the final analysis, it is not relying on the blessings of the Meng family? And who is the foundation of Meng’s family? Of course it’s you!”
"So if we really break up, Marquis Chongxin will definitely not end well!"
"The most important issue now is that after Meng's death, his descendants have withered away. In such a large court, except Marquis Chongxin, there are no other talents who can be used by us and can be the backbone!"
"So, Marquis Chongxin is your biological nephew after all. Even if he is not really filial, in order to look good on the scene, and to use your name to suppress those who disobey him, he still has to respect you, right?"
"So as long as we adopt the Queen's previous suggestion, which is to contact Mr. Meng Jiaxing and other Meng family members who are filial to you and the Queen to enter the court and support them to high positions, then it is not up to you to say what Marquis Chongxin will do. Son?"
After saying this, Empress Dowager Meng finally calmed down a little, but she was still worried: "Don't the Ai family know that even if the Ai family doesn't like Meng Guiyu now, they can't help but bear it? I just count my Meng family's descendants, who are now useful It's Jiaxing. And there has been no news about Jiaxing. At this moment, the Ai family and the empress are in the palace. Even the things in the palace have been kept secret! What's more, they go to do such things outside the palace. What? Originally the Ai family was counting on Luyin and Luixin, but they didn’t expect that Meng Guiyu had a vicious mind and actually killed them first!"
"This kid is doing this, it is clear that he is uneasy and well-intentioned towards the Fourteenth Lady!!!"
"The Ai family is actually helpless to deal with him now... The Ai family really feels sad just thinking about it!"
"If I had known what would happen today, I should have sent everyone from the fourth bedroom to the house after Meng Bao and his wife left!!!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was getting excited again as she spoke, Chi Zuosi hurriedly comforted her: "Mom, please calm down, anger will hurt your health!"
He persuaded the Queen Mother to calm down with gentle words. In order to prevent the Queen Mother from frowning, Chi Zuosi racked his brains for a while and finally came up with an idea, "How about, Madam, please summon Miss Ten to the palace? Give her rewards and the like, and call her here from time to time to express your kindness. Not only will Marquis Chongxin be grateful for your kindness, but you can also get some outside news from Miss Ten?"
Because Queen Mother Meng was old and not very energetic, she didn't pay much attention to her nieces other than Queen Meng.
Because of Meng Bao, even Meng Guiyu, the eldest son, was not welcomed in the fourth house, let alone the girl.
Previously, Meng Guihuan followed her two cousins in the eldest room all day long, trying every possible means to show her courtesy to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not give her any more attention.
Now that she heard that she wanted to be nice to Meng Guixin, the Queen Mother frowned subconsciously: "Although the Ai family said that they are less interested in Xiao Shi than Shi Shi, when she left the cabinet, the Ai family also specially sent someone to help her. It’s more makeup. A few days ago, the Ai family and the queen suffered such a big crime, and Xiao Shi didn’t even come to the palace to pay a visit, which shows that he didn’t take his aunt the Ai family to heart at all!”
"Now the Ai family is expected to take the initiative to please her?"
Chi Zuosi said: "Your Majesty, what kind of flattery is this? It's just a matter of calling her over to greet you when you have nothing to do! She has made you happy. You can reward her with whatever you want. Do you think it's just to amuse the children?"
Then he whispered, "Marquis Chongxin attaches great importance to his brothers and sisters. Miss Eleven has passed away, and now he is left with the Seventh Young Master and Miss Ten, the two he cares about. Miss Ten is a female, and can be summoned to him often. The Seventh Young Master is not yet married, oh, and so is Marquis Chongxin himself! Why don’t the empress start from these places, not only legitimately caring about Marquis Chongxin’s family, but also telling Marquis Chongxin tactfully that he must act in a measured manner, otherwise The empress can care for him as an elder, and naturally she can also discipline him as an elder?"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Meng thought for a moment and then said: "The Aijia should give it a try! I hope he knows what he's interested in!"
On Meng Guiyu's side, when he heard that the Queen Mother wanted to summon Meng Guixin, Meng Guihan immediately objected: "Although our aunt owes us the peace and wealth we have today, judging from various signs, she feels sorry for her in her heart. We have nothing to be grateful for! We even suspect that we murdered the big house she cared about most!"
"How can we let the tenth sister come into contact with her now? Who knows what she will do to the tenth sister? After all, the sixth brother said earlier that our position is not stable now, and we still need the support of this aunt. We have to Just deal with her perfunctorily. In this way, even if she does something to the tenth sister... what can we do to her? Doesn't this mean that the tenth sister has to suffer for nothing!"
Meng Guiyu sneered and said: "My aunt decided to summon the tenth sister after going to Wangchun Palace! You can go and see our fourteenth sister later and ask her what is going on? !”
Meng Guihan agreed, and just as he was about to speak, Meng Guiyu warned again, "Although the fourteenth sister is not of the same mind as us at all, I have my own opinion about her pregnancy. After you go, don't let her lose face too much. Speak well."
"Sixth brother, don't worry, I know." Meng Guihan nodded, looked at the news that had just arrived in front of him, and asked with concern, "Sixth brother, how is the situation on the grassland? Did Fuzhen and Gu Ailu team up to block the secret? Are you chaste?"
