Gongsun Xi's eyes narrowed, and his legs hanging on both sides of his body clenched fists consciously, but he quickly calmed down and said, "I don't know what the Red Lady means, and I have never been to the palace where Xiao Wen lives. !”
"I thought he was cheating on me?" Queen Meng raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Although he is not a chess piece of the Meng family, it is related to their future. Especially His Majesty Dongsheng doted on the Shu sisters, and his aunt spent a lot of money It was only with his strength that Bidong reluctantly agreed to let him take over the Palace of Spring! Once he had a mistress, even if there were a group of nieces waiting for him at home, Bidong would 100% not agree to such trouble again. Otherwise Meng may not tell him the urgent news, let alone care what he thinks, but the guards at Wangchun Palace, do they take it to heart!"
The queen raised her legs and arms and pointed in the direction of the palace gate, "The commander I saw the first day when I came to be a bodyguard was not his third brother, nor the prince of Zheng Guogong, the hussar general Meng Boqin who personally selected the best soldiers in northern Xinjiang. He was a trained personal guard. A few years ago, his third brother was assassinated, and he blocked his third brother's sword twice. Luodong suffered from a chronic illness and could not stand the climate in northern Xinjiang, so he was transferred back to Zheng Guogong's Mansion for retirement!"
"Even if you have a chronic illness and your martial arts skills are compromised, your eyesight and city skills are not the same!"
"I am a close valet, and he has been watching me very closely since I came to the erotic palace."
"So I thought that the few guards on duty with me have ordinary martial arts skills. Or are the guards at the Porn Palace so useless?"
"Then they will paralyze me and arrange it on purpose!"
"The real high-legged ones are all staring at me in private, wondering if I will run around while I am serving as his bodyguard, or do something detrimental to the Meng family!"
Queen Meng said that in one breath, with a bitter look on her face, "He really didn't expect... He really wanted to help me avoid trouble, but who knows, he might have harmed me instead!"
"Since your Majesty has determined that your humble position is not the so-called little prince, why don't you hand over your humble position to Zheng Guogong?" Gongsun Xi listened silently, and several times he felt murderous. He had the urge to kill the queen and escape, but after thinking about this The move will inevitably drag down Rong Suihe, and the Wangchun Palace, as the residence of the queens of the past dynasties, is not as close to the corner of the imperial city as the Leng Palace.
That place is outside the authentic deep palace, and there are many palaces blocking the way in all directions.
Even if Gongsun Xi was a pirate and was proficient in assassination and lurking, he would not have been able to escape from there if he had not killed the queen.
His mind wandered for a moment, and he decided to wait and see what would happen, then he asked tentatively, "Why don't you have to force your humble position to admit such a ridiculous thing?"
"...I am not his savior." Queen Meng smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and after a long sigh, she whispered, "And he will never do anything to repay kindness with enmity!"
Gongsun Xi said expressionlessly: "That day, I jumped into the lake to save people on the orders of the county king, and the county king was worried about the Lord of Kangzhao County."
It was not a coincidence that he rescued Queen Dong. After all, Sheng Weiqiao was already rescued by Gongsun Yingjiang, and Gongsun Yingjiang did not have any accidents during the entire rescue process. He could easily drag the heart of his family leader to Tingzhou. Anyway, they jumped into the lake, and Rong Suihe didn't show any fault for Queen Meng's displeasure, so he dragged the queen to Tingzhou.
Speaking of which, although he and Gongsun Yingjiang reacted fastest to the East Lake that day, the navymen with dragon boats nearby also jumped into the East Lake. After all, the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, the empress of the palace, and the people on the boat were all in the way of the imperial concubine and Zhaoyi and did not dare to rescue them without permission. How could the navy dare to watch Tangtang Yejiao drown in front of them
Even if he wasn't there, there would always be someone else who could save Queen Dong.
Because he had seen too many cases of repaying kindness with hatred, Gongsun Xi didn't take the queen's idea of "repaying kindness" to heart at all.
Even Queen Meng had previously suggested that he come to Wangchun Palace as a guard. He suspected that the Queen had ulterior motives, but he also wanted to enter the palace, so he just went along with the flow and nodded.
Gongsun Xifu really didn't feel that he had done any great favor to the queen.
"He knows." Queen Meng didn't show any shame when she heard those words, but nodded calmly, "I don't know him, and he doesn't know Prince Mi Zhen either. Let's talk about it carefully. Mi Zhen is The son of King Gaomi is a political enemy of the Meng family, so it would be strange for me to ask Mi Zhen if we could save him specifically."
She paused and said calmly, "In the final analysis, I was the one who pulled him to the shore. So, he will never remember that kindness."
Gongsun Xi couldn't figure out what she was thinking. After thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "Then what does the empress want to do when she summons me now..."
"I don't want to act rashly anymore." Queen Meng breathed out, "The security in the palace is not as relaxed as I thought! I also don't think about it, if the palace is really negligent enough to be able to go around without anyone noticing. Come on, can the nobles in the palace sleep well? As the saying goes, those who have learned literary and martial arts will sell them to the emperor's family. Although there may not be experts among the people, most of the most outstanding talented people in the east are not in the court. He He knows that I am extraordinary compared to ordinary servants, but even if he attacks me, I will be unable to avoid exposing my flaws under Meng's supervision."
Seeing that Gongsun Xi remained silent, she pinched her forehead tiredly, "He deceived me about the time I went to the palace where Xiao Wen and his family lived to worship, otherwise he would have sent me there to do that. Yes, the reason is that he has not slept very well in the morning recently. I dreamed that there were children crying in the palace over there... so I wanted to send me to worship Dong for peace of mind. "
"The reason why you came to me instead of rejecting Meng's bodyguards is because the death of the little prince back then was due to the failure of his aunt, his direct grandmother, to take care of him. I was afraid that Meng's bodyguards were gone, and the little prince felt this in his soul. More and more violent."
"If anyone asks me about it in the future, I will remember my confession and won't let it slip."
When the Queen said that, she secretly peeked at Gongsun Xi's expression between her fingers to confirm his identity.
But Gongsun Xi always kept his face expressionless, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is so kind, but I feel so humble about my position."
"What am I going to do when I come to the east?" Empress Meng sighed secretly, gathered herself up, and said, "Although the Meng family was temporarily fooled by him, that doesn't mean the return of Prince Mi Zhen is just right. If the Ming Dynasty Hall With the fierce dispute surrounding the Gongsun family on Tortoiseshell Island, Meng has no time to pay attention to my trivial matters for the time being... He probably has King Gaomi as well, so he should let Zheng Guogong and the others believe that the little prince is no longer here, right?"
