They said they were talking alone, but for the sake of Sheng Weiqiao's safety, Gongsun Xi was still by his side.
"General, he has lost a lot of weight in the past two days." As soon as they met, Sheng Weiqiao found that Meng Jiagan seemed to be a different person in a short period of time. Although he was not a big belly before, even after being seriously injured overnight, After all the hard work on the road, you can still see that he has a strong foundation.
But looking at it now, it seems that it seems to be out of shape.
He had been stripped of his armor early in the morning, and now he was wearing only regular clothes. It must have been a tailor-made robe, but now it was swaying, two or three times too big, and it looked a bit shocking, which showed that he was suffering in his heart... But to be honest, this is reasonable.
So Sheng Weiqiao didn't find it strange. After pouring a cup of tea for him, he said warmly, "I have asked Aunt Nan from Ningweihou Mansion to come to the palace to pay homage to the Empress. In your family, the two of them are the Empress Dowager and the Empress." My natal family, your father-in-law, is the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army and has an extraordinary family background. Although this matter is of great importance, it is not without hope... Please be at ease!"
Meng Jiagan took the tea, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Thank you so much, Madam!"
After he heard that the Meng family had received the news and started to respond, he felt relieved for a moment. This was the instinctive reaction of a son who was deeply loved by the family after learning that the family could still be saved.
But then he became worried again... Although he had thought that even if he was shattered to pieces, as long as he didn't implicate the Meng family, people's hearts are always greedy.
When the family is in danger of collapse, just think about the family being able to survive; if the family is fine, or there is still hope, you can't help but think about yourself.
For all the cultivation and opportunities that Meng gave to the Meng family, it was not unfair at all for him to sell Meng so mercilessly and throw her into the cold palace for the rest of her life, never to be used again.
And Meng Jiaqian is only twenty-five years old this year. He is in his prime. He is not the kind of playboy with no ambitions, but is a leader among his peers who has high hopes from his elders. After being impulsive, he thought of his upcoming end. , naturally restless.
She was uneasily thinking about Sheng Weiqiao's purpose of meeting her this time when she suddenly heard her say: "I plan to go to Northern Xinjiang to visit my uncle. I wonder if the general is willing to go with him?"
Meng Jiaqian was stunned for a moment and then said: "The uncle you are talking about is General Huaihua?!"
"Although I have several uncles, of course there is only one uncle from the Zhao family in Northern Xinjiang at the moment." Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile, "I haven't met the general often, and I'm not familiar with him, so I invited him rashly. The general seems to be a bit too much for Meng Lang. But considering that the general’s biological father, General Hussars, is also in Northern Xinjiang now, and the general has not recovered from his serious injury, maybe he is willing to return to his parents? "
Meng Jiaqian thought quickly: "Isn't the princess of this county happy? Why is she going to Northern Xinjiang?! Is this Mi Zhen's intention, or is it the plan of Lu Shiyu and others?!"
Although Sheng Weiqiao was definitely with Rong Suihe and was not on the same side as Lu Shiyu and others regarding Meng's collusion with Ruru, Meng Jiaqian was affected by the rumors and felt that now that Rong Suihe was gone, Sheng Weiqiao had nothing to show for. Could it be that the counselors were deceived by Lu Shiyu and the others
"Isn't the general unwilling to reunite with General Hussar?" Sheng Weiqiao waited for a while, and when he saw that he was silent, he asked, "Is it possible that the general has not seen Duke Zheng for many years and plans to go to Chang'an to see him?"
There is a clear meaning of ridicule in these words: Your Meng Jiaqian's position in the Meng family is nothing more than Meng Boqin. Although Zheng Guogong is also your direct grandfather, Zheng Guogong has many grandsons, including a pair of legitimate children from his stepmother. You don’t care much about it, let alone your grandson who is a generation apart and has never met before
In the past, for the sake of blood relationship and his love for Meng Boqin, Zheng Guogong still had some love and hope for Meng Jiaqian.
Now that Meng Jiagan has caused such a thing, he still dares to go to Chang'an to see his grandfather... If Zheng Guogong doesn't beat him to death, he just cares about family ties!
But go to Northern Xinjiang. After all, he is the biological flesh and blood that Meng Boqin grew up watching and loved the most. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope!
Meng Jiaqian heard the meaning of Sheng Weiqiao's words, smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm joking, I will definitely apologize to my father for what I did this time. As for my grandfather... he is in a high position. I must be busy with government affairs, so I decided not to disturb you easily!"
He had been under house arrest during this period and had no information, so he had no idea that Sheng Weiqiao had repeatedly asked Zhao Shi to go north in person.
After expressing his willingness to return to Northern Xinjiang at this moment, he naturally had to ask: "It's just that the empress is pregnant now, but she doesn't know why she wants to go north to see General Huaihua in person? It's a long way and there is heavy snow, and the empress has a noble status, can she bear the bumps?" "
"This is because the in-laws of Nanfeng County were visited by strangers a few days ago and told that our mother-in-law's pregnancy would be auspicious if she gave birth in the north." Sheng Weiqiao was about to answer when Gongsun Xi suddenly spoke next to him. , "That's why the empress wants to go north in person... Of course, when you get to the north, it is the right thing to pay homage to General Huaihua."
Hearing this, both Meng Jiaqian and Sheng Weiqiao were stunned, and then their expressions became complicated: At this time, the upper echelons probably knew that Rong Suihe had the intention to compete for the throne. At this time, his wife was happy, and someone told the Sheng family that she was going to Giving birth in the north is so lucky. Who would have thought that this is a hint that the origin of the child Sheng Weiqiao is carrying is not simple? !
"The Princess is truly blessed." There was a moment of silence in the room. Meng Jiagan lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, "I will first wish the Princess and her mother and son are safe!"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Gongsun Xi and said absently: "Thank you, General, for your kind words."
After a while, she sent Meng Jiaqian away, and she immediately asked Gongsun Xi, "Whose idea is this?! Who allowed you to make your own decisions?!"
"I asked him to do this!" Before Gongsun Xi could answer, Xuan Yu Feng's voice suddenly came from behind the screen. It had been agreed before that Sheng Weiqiao would talk to the Meng family alone, leaving Gongsun Xi alone as a guard, but Xuanyu and Fengshi hid behind the screen on the pretext of helping Sheng Weiqiao get the details.
At this moment, he just walked out and said calmly, "New news received, Qiao Er, it is no longer a question of whether you want to go to Northern Xinjiang, but you must go!"
Sheng Weiqiao was startled and asked hurriedly: "But the war situation in Western Xinjiang is not good?!"
Xuanyu Feng looked at her, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then said: "Xijiang is still holding on, but the problem lies in Chang'an. There is definite news that your father-in-law has decided to stop the Northern Xinjiang army from rushing to aid Yizhou. The reason is …Both he and Meng had already guessed the existence of Duke Huan…”
The voice lowered, "They believe that Duke Huan is still alive and is manipulating the overall situation behind the scenes! So, they plan to take this opportunity to force Duke Huan out!"
"But Duke Huan's coffin was secretly transported back to Bishui County for burial. Mi Zhen doesn't have the support of such an imperial master at all!"
"If you can't convince Zhao Shi to disobey your father-in-law's order... you know the next thing: the best result is that Mi Zhen abandons Xijiang and everyone must withdraw to Chang'an!"
"Then become the next Meng Jiagan!"
"Not even as good as the Meng family. After all, the status and power of the Meng family mostly comes from Meng Boqin. Meng Boqin really loves this son. Even if he betrays the Meng family to fulfill his own morality, if Meng Boqin is like this to your father His father’s words, but he may not be so cruel as to cut off his future! He will be angry for a few years, but when his anger subsides later, he will inevitably be given another chance!"
"But you should know very well who your father-in-law is and how he treats secrets!"
"He really wants to trample Mi Zhen into the mud, so as not to threaten his good-for-nothing prince!!!"
Sheng Weiqiao's face turned livid after hearing this. After a while, he asked suspiciously: "Why don't you tell me this news directly? It's not like I can't listen! What's going on here... is that strangers come to visit, and everything goes well... It's because I don't study seriously like this. , and we also know that Beichen is where the North Pole is, and the North Star is the Ziwei Star. Now that the foundation of Mi Zhen is not yet solid, such a rumor is coming out... Is it really good?!"
This simply means that Sheng Weiqiao is pregnant with an emperor. Where does her identity as an emperor come from
Obviously, it was Rong Shuihe who ascended the throne and Jianzuo. As the head wife, the eldest son born to her would legitimately inherit the throne!
And what is Rong Suihe's situation now
Even fledglings are light, and they are simply in danger!
Are you afraid that by exposing such naked ambition at this moment, you won't be able to attract people's hatred? !
"It's a long way to go to northern Xinjiang. Without the escort of Lu Shiyu's department, we will have no way to go." Xuan Yufeng said calmly, "The problem is that Lu Shiyu is under the command of General Huaihua, and is also your father-in-law! Now that General Huaihua has agreed to your going north, Do you think your father-in-law will know?"
"He is determined not to let Mi Zhen survive, so how could he not stop you?"
"If nothing else, let's just say that your mother-in-law is a sick person that everyone in Chang'an knows about!"
"At this moment, if she has a headache and a fever, and she spreads some words saying that she misses Mi Zhen and you, can you not go back to take care of her?!"
"If you insist on not going back, will General Huaihua try to silence you later and ask you to be a dutiful wife and not get involved in things you shouldn't get involved with all day long?"
"Occupying the status of an elder, it would be too easy for your father-in-law to trick you!"
"Instead of facing endless troubles when the time comes and waiting in fear for him to take action... it's better for us to take the initiative to stir up trouble! This will also prevent him from being too idle and thinking about how to harm you!"
Xuanyu Feng raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, if Mi Zhen can pass this test right now, the extraordinary origin of the heir you are pregnant with will be the icing on the cake; if he can't pass it, the worst he can do is be laughed at... At that point, what's a little joke?"
"As for now, wouldn't it just increase the attention paid to your trip? Don't think that it's useless if the upper management doesn't take it seriously. There are many people below who fall for this! Otherwise, why have there been no big shots with strange signs since ancient times? less than!?"
Sheng Weiqiao narrowed his eyes and announced that Feng was right!
The purpose of her trip to the north was to persuade Zhao Shi not to obey King Gaomi's order and to rush to the aid of Western Xinjiang.
As the uncle-in-law of the King of Gaomi, Zhao Shi is both a superior and a subordinate, as well as a relative. Their relationship must be deeper than that of Rong Suihe, who he has never met before!
Once Zhao Shi was determined to stand by and watch his nephew's life and death... Sheng Weiqiao, who had the aura of "having a very noble son," would at least have the possibility of inciting his generals.
Otherwise, if she is just an ordinary clan wife and a general with a heavy army, why should she cooperate with her and contribute to her? !
but…
After thinking about it carefully, she always felt that something was wrong
Sheng Weiqiao said suspiciously: "Auntie, you are really open-minded! Aren't you afraid that my father-in-law is crazy and is worried about murdering his son? You even don't want to see the child in my belly because of this rumor?!"
"He dares!" Xuan Yu Feng sneered, "Our family can spare no effort to support you and your wife. If something goes wrong with you and your wife, we can spare no effort to fight against your father-in-law! If something happens to Mi Zhen, Son, you and your child are fine, and we can still endure it for your mother, but if... do you really think that we, businessmen, are easy to bully?!"
Seeing her niece's eyebrows furrowed and looking very worried, fearing that she would be overthinking during pregnancy, he subconsciously comforted her, "Your grandfather has personally arrived in Chang'an to take charge. You still don't believe in his methods? Don't be afraid, just follow him." Your previous plan was to go to Northern Xinjiang to meet Zhao Shi! If peers of similar age plotted against each other and let you practice your skills and suffer losses, your father-in-law, an elder of yours, is so shameless that he wants to trick you... You really think we are. Are all these family members dead?!"
"Why did my grandfather come to Chang'an in person to take charge?!" Who knew that Sheng Weiqiao was immediately suspicious after hearing this, "His old man sent me out of the pavilion in the first half of the year before returning to Nanfeng County. After such a long journey, I am afraid he has just recovered. What?! Why are we going to Chang'an again?! Did something happen in Chang'an, so you just said that I must go to Northern Xinjiang and not Chang'an!?"
