Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao counterattacked: "Brother, as I said just now, that's Chang'an! The place where the King of Gaomi and the Meng family have been running for decades, but we are new here. I acted rashly, just in case I was found to have something to do with Liu Dong." What should I do if I come to the door?"
"Don't worry, Meng Boheng's injury is too serious. He will be recuperating in Bishui County for a long time. I hope he can leave for Chang'an when his health is better." Sheng Suihe said with a smile, "Will he arrange for the people who stay in Bishui County to have their legs and feet done?" That’s all—the Huan family is very cooperative there, so there won’t be any mistakes.”
He added, "Furthermore, the Huan family is not a fool. Unless they are sure that there will be no flaws in what he does, they will stop him at the risk of their own safety! Whether they agree to it or not, they must be completely sure!" "
Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao seemed to want to say something, Sheng Suihe's eyes flashed and he calmly guided the topic, "Wrong. Although what the brothers and sisters from the fourth room of the Meng family told me were not entirely untrue, Bu Nao was also euphemistic. He told us good news!"
Sheng Weiqiao asked curiously: "What's the good news?"
"The Meng family is afraid that they have decided to give Mingke the top prize to him." Sheng Suihe said with a smile, "Then Meng Guiyu specifically mentioned his homework to me on the way from Nuan Pavilion to the side hall. , I heard from his uncle and cousins that he has profound skills. Does that clearly imply that Meng has already examined his background and talents and obtained unanimous approval? Otherwise, he would have said nothing to me during those few steps. Okay, Yong Wan Zhe can just keep silent, why does Fei Qiu agree with me to mention him? Could it be that he and he have never met each other before - that also means that he said that the main Qiu people in the Meng family did not doubt our Otherwise, how could they give him such benefits?"
"That's it!" Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "Oh, he didn't react! I thought he saw traces of Duke Huan from the writing of my previous articles, so I tested him! But! Scared him!"
"Is that because I haven't done many bad things, dear girl?" Sheng Suihe said with a smile, noting that her startled reaction was not surprising, "So once you find out whether he did what happened in Bishui County, I tend to scare myself when asking questions that are even slightly involved. Looking back, I remember that the matter has nothing to do with me at all, and I don’t know anything - I just answer the same question no matter who asks it. Others Yes, he can handle it!"
Sheng Weiqiao nodded absently, thinking that it was easy to say that, but what was actually going on!
She asked if she really didn’t know, but now she clearly knew it!
If it's just once or twice, it's fine to let her pretend to be innocent, but who knows what will happen in the future? Not to mention others, if Mrs. Xiang doesn't give up and keeps tossing and tossing... Sheng Weiqiao can't help but feel that what Sheng Suihe just said makes sense: if she really knows about that kind of thing, it's better not to know!
At least at that time she really had a clear conscience and didn't have to act at all!
She would not say those words, so she coughed dryly and said: "He knows - wrong, brother, I say that at most Meng is wrong about Mrs. Meng. We have some unfounded suspicions, but we don't Do you know why Uncle Chongxin asked to excuse us in front of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Xiang?"
There was a strong look of doubt in her eyes, "He is a stranger to us, and he is Mrs. Xiang who has recently transferred from Aunt Jiaoyu. Normally, when he is eager to please Mrs. Xiang and perform meritorious deeds, how could he turn around for us?" Mouth?"
Because Huan Yehe had said before that the man was very short of money, Sheng Weiqiao also considered whether Meng Guiyu did what he did in order to get the thank you gift from his family. The question was no, "Even if they gave him a large thank you gift for this, what's the matter?" Do you want him to keep an eye on Mrs. Xiang from now on, and stop Mrs. Xiang in time when she makes unfavorable remarks to our family? But as time goes by, Mrs. Xiang will definitely find out! Will Mrs. Xiang then? Are you going to settle a score with him?"
"It seems that the fourth bedroom of the Meng family can't resist Mrs. Xiang, right?"
"Or is he planning to ask us for a favor all at once, and pull back his legs in time to avoid Mrs. Xiang's eyes and ears?"
"Thank you as a gift should be one of his purposes." After hearing this, Sheng Suihe thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said An Ran, "As for his real consideration, I'm afraid it has something to do with the current situation of the entire Meng family!"
"What's the current situation of his Meng family?" At this moment, outside Uncle Chongxin's house, which was a few streets away from the Sheng family's house, brothers Meng Guihan and Meng Guihuan were also asking in surprise, "Sixth brother, what do you mean? Said?"
Because he was outside the uncle's house at the moment, the whole house was warm and warm. There was a pot of wintersweet bonsai on the table, which was fragrant with cold fragrance. Meng Guiyu took off his fur coat, untied the golden crown and jade hairpin, and took out a bamboo crown. He has a full head of black hair, a wooden hairpin stuck across his head, and a new-made duck-egg-green round-neck blouse with dark embroidered lotus and chrysanthemum patterns on it. Floral two-color satin crew neck robe.
Duan was walking in front now, looking at the bewildered and astonished expressions of Didong's brother and sister, he smiled: "Don't we think that with the power of the Meng family, it's not easy to lift a leg for a Shengjiabu?" , so since the eldest aunt suspects the Sheng family, we should immediately charge into the battle for the eldest aunt. As for whether the Sheng family is innocent, it is not important to ask, let alone whether we can excuse them?"
Meng Guihuan probed: "Sixth Brother, do you want Master Chen to make friends with the Sheng family? After all, the eldest aunt is not a reliable person."
"No matter how unreliable the eldest aunt is, I hope that the future of the fourteenth sister will not change. Can we ask for service for her after all?" Meng Guiyu shook his head after hearing this and looked at Meng Guihan, "Xiao Qi, what do I think?"
Meng Guihan hesitated for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "He can guess whether the sixth brother had the intention of charging for the eldest aunt in that matter - maybe the Sheng family is far inferior to his Meng family, but that person Old Master Sheng was from the old army of General Zhou, and was on good terms with Marquis Ningwei's father. It was said that Marquis Ningwei had always wrongly treated him as a junior, and the old men in the northern Xinjiang army were afraid that they would not remember him until tomorrow. Without irrefutable proof, he would rashly If you mess with that family member, once you cause a bad influence to the third brother in Northern Xinjiang, even if you please your aunt but hate the third brother, it won't be worth it after all."
The third brother he was talking about was Meng Boqin, the eldest son of Zheng Guogong. After Meng Boqin's biological mother Zhong married into the Meng family, she gave birth to two daughters in succession. Under the pressure of her elders, she had to take concubines for her husband. It turned out that the concubines also gave birth to two daughters one after another. - At that time, Marquis Wu'an, who was four years younger than Zheng Guogong, had two sons with his wife Yao. Therefore, when Zhong finally gave birth to a male heir, Meng Boqin was already the third son in the ranking.
Mrs. Xiang's two patrons and the four rooms of the Meng family are clearly visible.
When Meng Guihuan heard this, he suddenly realized: "Brother Qi was so thoughtful, but he actually forgot this section!"
Meng Guiyu looked at them with a smile and said kindly: "Then it should be considered from the perspective of our fourth house. In fact, the reason why he asked to help the Sheng family was based on the interests of the entire Meng family: We think, what is the most important thing for the Meng family now?"
Meng Guihuan went and said: "Can you let the fourteenth sister enter the Wangchun Palace, and then solve the problem of the emperor's heir and continue the legacy of the Meng family?"
"Whether that's true or not." Meng Guiyu nodded and wrote lightly, "The future of the Meng family and the life and death of a mere Meng Boheng are of no importance. Only the eldest aunt and the fourteenth sister care about it. Others, including the eldest uncle, Outside, I won’t care much.”
"So what we need to keep in mind is to find out the real culprit of what happened in Bishui County and avenge the eighth brother."
"Rather than concentrate on this matter - in case the success falls short!"
Meng Guihan said in confusion: "Sixth brother, Rong Qingzui, the second son of King Gaomi, was also seriously injured in Bishui County. It is said that people are likely to be crippled from then on, and even their appearance cannot be preserved... Even though King Gaomi and his wife seem to be partial to Prince, I don’t think you care much about your second son. Is he your own flesh and blood? After something went wrong in Bishui County, did King Gaomi immediately send someone to Bishui County to take him back to Chang’an and keep his legs? Supervise in Bishui County."
As he spoke, his expression changed, "Isn't that a cover-up trick by King Gaomi to give up a direct relative to attract our attention so that he can take the opportunity to do something?!"
"Xiao Qi, I will consider the King of Gaomi!" Meng Guiyu listened quietly and shook his head, "It is true that Ru Ming's court is here, our Meng family and the King of Gaomi are on the same court, and there is no one left to compete - but, I forgot Is there a harem?"
"Harem?" Meng Guihan was startled for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed, "Sixth brother, did you talk about the Shu sisters? But they have been childless for many years, and if they are favored by the emperor, what tricks can they pull out?"
Meng Guihuan was surprised: "Could it be possible that they suddenly had one?!"
Don't look at the fact that Empress Dowager Meng had a fight with Emperor Xuan Jing in Muwan, forcing Emperor Xuan Jing to agree to appoint his direct cousin Meng Bijun as his successor. However, if the Shu sisters were pregnant, Empress Dowager Meng would definitely regret the matter!
The reason is very simple. Emperor Xuan Jing has not yet had a son and a half daughters, and Empress Dowager Meng does not expect that she will have a biological grandson or granddaughter. So the old empress agreed to give her biological niece, who was only young enough to have hairpins, to her. Emperor Xuanjing, who was alive with the Shu sisters, decided to take over the throne.
But if Emperor Xuan Jing now has a biological son, the Queen Mother's first priority must be to plan for her biological son: even if the biological mother of the little prince is a Shu sister who Queen Mother Meng doesn't like, Queen Mother Meng will never let her go again. Meng's daughter has the opportunity to be the little prince's legitimate mother!
Because the Meng family was already on the same side as the King of Gaomi. If he got that status again, he would have to suppress the King of Gaomi and go east!
And it is obviously very disadvantageous for a relative who is the sole leader of the family to the emperor, especially the young emperor.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Meng will definitely support the young prince's biological mother as the queen, and she will come to the court as the empress dowager and act as a check and balance; let Meng and King Gaomi continue to scheming and restraining each other; to prevent the former harem from bullying the young prince because of his young age and taking advantage of the young prince. -After all, with the current ages of Empress Dowager Meng and Emperor Xuan Jing, there is really little hope of seeing the young prince grow up like a bright young man.
Even if Emperor Xuan Jing is more than ten or twenty years younger than Empress Dowager Meng, how much support and protection can an emperor who has been addicted to wine and sex for decades give his son? No hope at all.
In this way, from the perspective of the Meng family's interests, they definitely don't want Emperor Xuanjing to have biological flesh and blood - unless the biological flesh and blood is from the Meng family's daughter.
Meng Guihuan was so shocked - very good. Meng Guiyu shook his head: "No, if those two are happy, can those confinement days be so quiet?"
"No!" Meng Guihuan breathed a sigh of relief, "If the two families are the only one in the Ming Palace, if she is pregnant, there is really no need to hide it."
I was also curious, "What does Sixth Brother mean?"
"We also know about the two previous intentions to turn to King Gaomi." Meng Guiyu explained, "Although we don't know why Princess Gaomi resolutely refused to let Rong Qingzui adopt him to the emperor's knees, this move caused the Shu sisters to He was so angry that he gave up the idea of forming an alliance with the King of Gaomi."
He paused and narrowed his eyes, "Although the King of Gaomi only has two sons, the emperor has more than one King of Gaomi!"
"King Guangling?!" Meng Guihan and Meng Guihuan looked at each other wrongly and said in unison, "Isn't he always looking up to King Gaomi?!"
