Shu Zhaoyi thought for a while and said: "Mi Zhen is both talented and beautiful, and his mind is not simple. It would be best if our biological flesh and blood could be like him! But he is far away in Western Xinjiang now, and I don't know when. Can I come back? Moreover, sister, please don’t forget that the King of Gaomi and the Meng family are both very ambitious. The reason why they have been flattering us so much over the years is that they are afraid of our favor; and they hope to borrow our help. , Winning His Majesty in the harem, so as not to stare at them in the court! The third reason is that we have no children, and we cannot threaten their future interests! "
"So, with just the few manpower we have right now, it might not be a good thing to rush into joy?"
She reminded in a low voice, "Back then, the Wen family fell out of favor and was abandoned by His Majesty. The Wen family was frightened and tried every means to send Wen's sister, Xiao Wen, into the palace. They also used God knows how many shady methods to let Xiao Wen. Mrs. Wen was pregnant with the emperor's heir... Then the little Mrs. Wen gave birth to the prince. Aren't the Wen family also overjoyed and thought their future was safe? What's the result? "
As a result, including Queen Mother Meng, her direct grandmother, the Meng family, King Gaomi, the Shu sisters... none of them could tolerate the existence of the little prince!
Even if the Wen family persuaded Huan Guanlan to take action himself, Minister Gu Ming, who had tried hard to protect Emperor Xuan Jing's throne in the previous dynasty, was helpless and could only watch the little prince die in infancy!
This was the fate of the Wen family of the descendants, so why wouldn't it happen to the Shu sisters
"According to the hint in Meng Guiyu's words, as long as Concubine Meng gives birth to a male heir, His Majesty will probably be... let alone us sisters?" Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and said in amusement, "How can I not understand this truth? This This is also the reason why I like Mi Zhen: As the saying goes, if the tiger's poison does not eat its seeds, Mi Zhen's climate is about to become mature. He may talk sweetly to our sisters because of his teacher's orders, but has no real feelings for us. However... I don't know if he is facing his own flesh and blood. Can you still listen to that old guy Huan Guanlan?!"
Shu Zhaoyi didn't quite trust Rong Suihe's emphasis on flesh and blood: "Mi Zhen is not very kind to the Gaomi King and his wife! What if he passes on His Majesty's character?"
As an emperor, Emperor Xuanjing was still an emperor who was over fifty years old. He didn't even care about having no children, he only thought about having fun all day long!
What's more, Rong Suihe is still just a county prince. He is so young that he is not even eager to look forward to his son
"But he didn't dare to tell it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live well!" Concubine Shu bit her lip and said, "As long as he doesn't dare to break up, let's find a way to prevent him from gaining the upper hand. ? Anyway, no matter whether King Gaomi or Meng wins, it’s not a good thing for him! As long as he can’t win, even if he hates us, he doesn’t care about his own flesh and blood, but for his own consideration, can he not help us? "
Shu Zhaoyi muttered: "It's hard to know how to measure this! Because Mi Zhen is too young and started late. The old guys like the King of Gaomi and the Meng family have decades more time to run the business than him. Moreover, these two factions also have other support: King Gaomi is the beloved son of the late emperor; Meng has the Queen Mother!"
"To be honest, Mi Zhen's foundation was originally weak. If he hadn't had outstanding qualifications, married Sheng Weiqiao, and had our help, he wouldn't have been qualified to compete with these two parties!"
"If we continue to suppress him now, what if King Gaomi and the Meng family add insult to injury and suppress him completely... this?"
The imperial concubine's eyes flickered for a moment and she said, "What do you think?"
"First confirm whether Meng Guiyu's evidence is true." After Shu Zhaoyi said this, she saw that the imperial concubine immediately opened her mouth as if to refute, and said quickly, "Sister! I don't know that no matter how good other people's children are, they can't follow her. Biological comparison? Just think about it, Meng Guiyu came to talk to you about this matter. He kept telling you about the importance of blood relationship, how can we not think about the fact that he himself is a descendant of the Meng family, why is it because of Concubine Meng? He had a falling out with Zheng Guogong’s third wife. Did you forget that he could contact us privately and rely on the Queen to guide us?!"
"And who is the queen? Zheng Guogong's biological daughter!"
"They are all blood relatives with broken bones and connected tendons. Who knows whether those falling out are real or fake?!"
"Even if we have to submit a petition, there are too many Meng family members, so what does it matter if we sacrifice a few?"
"The queen herself was sent to the palace as a pawn by her family?!"
"Between our own flesh and blood, with all the nonsense they are causing, and blood is thicker than water, who knows when they will laugh away their grudges and become better than before?!"
"Like us, we didn't complain about our father for selling us in the early years. However, the resentment turns to resentment, and the hatred turns to hatred. When we look back, we are still a family?!"
"In case Mi Zhen has nothing to do with Huan Guanlan, it's just that the Meng family saw that Mi Zhen was gaining momentum, especially when Meng Jiaqian, a descendant of the Meng family, asked for three thousand fine cavalry from his father Meng Boqin, but he hadn't arrived in Yi yet. The state city was ambushed by Mi Zhen and killed to a complete defeat?!"
"The Meng family suffered such a big loss, how could they not think of revenge on Mi Zhen?"
"And Mi Zhen's biggest reliance now, at least on the surface, is our sisters, isn't it?"
"What Meng Guiyu said yesterday made my sister not only wary and disgusted with Mi Zhen, but also wanted to get her own flesh and blood... Sister, please think about it, if Meng Guiyu doesn't have ulterior motives, it's fine. What if?" When he said this to us, he was just setting a trap for us to jump, but we actually did it, what will happen!?"
Shu Zhaoyi said in a deep voice, "His Majesty loves us very much. It doesn't matter if we do something trivial, even if it is colluding with Ruru or something! But giving birth to children with other people... How can your Majesty tolerate it?!"
They were born in a humble background, and their natal family is not considered noble even now. Once they lose the favor and protection of Emperor Xuan Jing, you can imagine their fate!
"..." Concubine Shu's expression changed several times as she listened. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's a good thing you calm down! Otherwise, I would really be bewitched by that little beast this time!"
Shu Zhaoyi said hurriedly: "Sister, you are too worried about our future, that's why Meng Guiyu took advantage of us!"
"But I think what he said is right." Concubine Shu sighed and said sadly, "Just look at the mother of the queen, Xiang, and the son of Meng Boqin, the prince of Zheng Guogong! The reason why Xiang was able to marry as a palace maid earlier For Zheng Guogong, even if it is a renewal, it is quite a high achievement. What do you rely on? In addition to her qualifications of serving the Queen Mother, in the final analysis, isn't it because she took great care of Meng Boqin? "
"Before Meng Boqin went to Northern Xinjiang, everyone was full of praise for his stepmother. Speaking of Meng Boqin's biological mother who died young, he had never seen his biological mother at all!"
"Even so, when Xiang was bullied by Jiao Yu, did Meng Boqin ever stand up for her at all costs?"
"With Meng Boqin's status in the Meng family, there is no need to be desperate. A serious talk with Zheng Guogong, or a coquettish intimidation, can make the situation of Xiang and her son much easier!"
"But did he do it?"
The imperial concubine sneered, "So, if he is not his biological flesh and blood, no matter how nice you are to him, how can you be sincere?!"
Seeing that Shu Zhaoyi seemed to be about to say something, she shook her head and said, "Sister, don't worry, since I know that Meng Guiyu came to tell me what he said yesterday out of bad intentions, naturally I won't act rashly and throw myself into the trap! But! We’d better carefully consider the candidate for this heir.”
"If sister is completely sure that our own flesh and blood can inherit the throne, then of course it would be the best!" Shu Zhaoyi was not originally opposed to the imperial concubine betraying Emperor Xuan Jing, but was just afraid that Meng would set up a trap. Now that the imperial concubine was determined After thinking for a while, he said, "However, regardless of whether Meng Guiyu can produce evidence to prove the relationship between Mi Zhen and Huan Guanlan, I think we should shut him up and keep this news secret." Keep it a secret!"
Her bright red lips curled up, "Then, we will still treat Mi Zhen as before!"
"Treat him the same as before?" Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then understood and chuckled, "That's right! Doesn't he like acting? Let's act with him! Let's see who is more skilled. !”
When the Shu sisters were discussing, Meng Guiyu was walking slowly in the garden of Chongxinhou Mansion.
In this season, the weather is cold, the snow is flying, and winter flowers such as wintersweet have not yet bloomed. Even the garden carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen really has nothing to see.
Meng Yan, the shivering book boy who accompanied him, wanted to persuade his master to go back to the house to warm up several times. I don't know why, but every time he wanted to speak, he subconsciously swallowed it back.
After walking like this, round and round, just when Meng Yan felt that his feet were almost numb, luckily Meng Guihan came. Seeing the snowflakes on Meng Guiyu's hair and eyebrows, he felt distressed and complained: "Six Brother! Why don’t you cherish yourself so much?!”
"You're coming here at this time, but what's the matter?" After Meng Guiyu heard this, he finally stopped walking in circles in the snow and called his brother to go to the study, "Sister Eleven is about to give birth. I told you that in the past two days, Put everything else aside and focus on that side first!"
Meng Guihan said: "Brother Six, I know. I just went to see Sister Eleven, and she happened to have someone make the cakes we used to love. We and Sister Eleven have to send someone to deliver them." ? When he saw me coming over, he asked me to take it back. I thought we hadn’t seen each other for two days, so I brought it over for you."
After a pause, he said, "Last time Concubine Shu agreed to help, the maids in front of Sister Eleven are all arranged by us. As for Prince Guangling, I also followed your instructions in the past two days and asked my subordinates to pretend. Drunk, he stopped his horse on the street and beat him up! At this moment, he is still bedridden. He doesn’t have the heart and the ability to disturb Sister Eleven! "
"As for the wife of Prince Guangling, they are quite peaceful and we don't need to worry too much!"
Meng Guiyu said "hmm" and said, "We still can't take it lightly! After all, husband and wife are one, and the wife of Prince Guangling is the daughter of the Zhao family. Who knows what is going on in his heart?"
While they were talking, the two brothers had already walked into the study. Meng Yan made tea with his stiff hands. He wanted to stand by and warm himself up, but Meng Guiyu ordered him: "Go out and watch!"
The young book boy had no choice but to hide his disappointment and retreat respectfully.
The once considerate and generous owner of the house did not notice his little mood this time, and was still paying attention to his sister, who was the concubine: "The heirs, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law left by Princess Guangling cannot be left out, and they are all being watched closely. ! Even the children among the grandchildren who have not yet grown up are no exception! Don’t forget what happened on the wedding night when Prince Mi Zhen got married. The daughter of Marquis Huaiyuan was so naughty at just such an old age. It can be seen that children It’s hard to guard against even the vicious ones!”
"Don't worry, Brother Six, I will definitely keep my spirits up and leave no flaws!" Meng Guihan nodded, "And the Meng family will definitely not let Sister Eleven make any mistakes at this time!"
Meng Guiyu sneered when he heard this and said: "It should be said that they will not let anything happen to the boy born to the eleventh sister at this time! As for the eleventh sister... As long as the child falls to the ground, maybe they can still I wish something bad happened to Sister Eleven?!"
After the two brothers discussed Meng Guihuan's birth and safety issues for a long time, Meng Guihan thought for a moment, glanced at the closed doors and windows, and asked in a low voice: "Sixth brother, Meng Sian's side... what should we do now?" ?”
