Gongsun Xi was actually surprised that he would return to Wangchun Palace that day. He noticed something good that day. After leaving in a hurry, he left the palace with his brothers Meng Guiyu and went their separate ways.
Although the King of Gaomi failed that night and retreated to Chang'an City, the palace was still trapped in the prince's lap.
Gongsun Xi did not deliberately inquire about the whereabouts of Queen Meng, because he felt that he would not hear any good news, so it was better to just pretend to be confused and pretend that he didn't know... He even thought with some melancholy, even if Queen Yue Rong Suihe ascended the throne, Sheng Wei Qiao became the queen. , became the new owner of Wangchun Palace, and I, who have a close relationship with the Nacuo couple, will probably never return to Wangchun Palace again.
He thought that such feelings were a kind of memorial, and he was ready to seal up all the memories about that palace.
So later, due to various predicaments, I returned to the palace and contacted Ge Zhongpeng. When I asked about the situation in the palace, she didn't even mention Empress Meng's words... Chang'an Ruming was in chaos, and he had many important things to do. I can't find the space to feel sadness and regret.
Ge Zhongpeng, after finishing the business, told him with a half-smile: "The Queen was a little frightened before, and she has been lying on the bed in the Spring Palace for the past two months. The maid next to her is quite loyal. At that time, it's okay She refused to leave her hometown, so she went to the imperial doctor's office all day long to beg... At first, the old doctor felt soft, so she went over to have a look. The question is whether the imperial doctor is an imperial doctor or not. He is used to using good medicinal materials. "
"The former queen was not a queen. She was protected by the Queen Mother, and supported by the Meng family outside. Even if she was unhappy in front of the second concubine Shu, no one would dare to do anything wrong to her, such as taking medicine."
"In this situation... Even if there are reserves in the palace treasury, who dares to continue to give good things to the Queen of the Meng family before knowing the prince's attitude?"
"No, the palace maid can ask the old doctor to change the prescription again. She keeps changing the prescription. The old doctor is a little impatient at first, and she is worried about getting into trouble, so she hides away."
"... I wonder what happened to the master and servant at Wangchun Palace at that time?"
Gongsun Xi frowned when he heard this and was a little displeased: "He just sent a message to the Queen on the order of the princess! My father-in-law thinks too much!"
"Why do we think too much?" Ge Zhongpeng looked at him inexplicably, "My family said those words to me, but they didn't mean anything. Are the princess and the empress the best friends in the boudoir! The empress was not very well at that time, what should I do? If Du Bu Cong is concerned, can the empress in Bu Cong come back and let the county princess know about it? Why don’t she settle the account with me?! Although our family has never met the county princess, we have long heard that the county prince wronged the county princess. The princess is willing to obey her advice...even if I am quite trusted by the prince, am I sure I want to offend her?"
Gongsun Xi: “…”
He calmed down and said, "Eunuch, how can he take care of that matter? He doesn't even dare to appear in public in the palace. If I want to take care of the queen for the princess, I should ask you to help me, right?" "
Ge Zhongpeng chuckled and said: "His Master Sheng! Although King Gaomi's focus was not on the palace at that time, and he didn't seem to have any intention of targeting the Queen, but believe it or not, our family will ask the Didong people to take care of it. When the son looked at the erotic palace, the people around the prince came to have tea with us and asked us to explain why we should treat Meng's daughter well. At that time, what should I say to my family? Can our family be very kind? I want to continue to work hard for the county king!"
"..." Gongsun Xi was speechless for a while, then said, "Then what does father-in-law mean?"
"Of course I'll deliver the things quietly!" Ge Zhongpeng said, magically taking out a big package from behind and pushing it in front of him with a smile, "Here, medicinal materials, food, things to relieve the heat... Although the Queen Empress She was not favored when she was in her mother's family. She is the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, and she grew up in fine clothes and fine food. She can't bear the trouble! She has a lot of discernment in picking her confidants during those confinement days, and she probably won't be able to hold on for a long time. Got it!"
"Excuse me, without those things, the master and the servant can't survive for a few more months!"
"I beg you, do you want to give an explanation to the princess? It's best to send it over tomorrow morning... Don't worry about the guards of Wangchun Palace. The Meng family has long been eradicated by King Gaomi! As for the others, they will be gone by then. I don’t care about the Queen’s life or death!”
Ge Zhongpeng took a leisurely sip of the tea in his cup and said, "Well, I can't think of any other advice for the moment. Please do it, please do it, please do it... I'll think about it myself!"
Gongsun Xi hesitated for a while, then stood up, took the package, and walked out without saying a word.
After he left, a young waiter came in to collect the tea and curiously asked Ge Zhongpeng: "Father, are you planning to match up with the Queen?"
"What nonsense are you kidding?" Ge Zhongpeng scolded with a smile, "Our family has been in the palace for so many years, when have we ever done the matchmaker's job? Are you telling the truth to Shengxi? Are you afraid that the Queen Empress did not die in the lap of the Gaomi King? , he passed away right under our noses. When the princess found out, she got angry at our family. There were no other suitable people around at that time, so she just sent him to run some errands!"
"Father, I see that Sheng Xi is refusing to admit it. In his words and deeds, is there anything interesting about wronging the Queen?" The young waiter asked with a smile, "Since you have no idea of bringing them together, then send Sheng Xi away. It’s a help in times of need, if you can’t help but give it to me... Then?”
Ge Zhongpeng said disapprovingly: "Who knows what happened to our current queen? When the Meng family was at its peak, she was still a widow! At that time, several Zhenghous died The one who is missing is missing. Even if her half-brother is a hussar general, the two brothers and sisters have been away from each other for many years. They are very different mothers and probably don't have much affection. Even if Meng Boqin achieves anything in the next month, She may not get much glory either!"
"Sheng Xi is not the confidant of the county king, and her future is much better than that of the queen. What does it matter if a young man has an occasional romance? The queens on both sides are very beautiful, and Sheng Xi will not suffer any loss!"
He said calmly, "Our family has seen a lot of nasty things in the palace over the past few decades. In such a big palace, there is neither too much nor too little of that. Let them go their own way. ! Just pray that we can use that thing later, and if the Princess of Tongjun sells well, our family’s goal will be achieved!"
Although he is not a person left by the late emperor from the east and has seniority in the palace, he will be less than sixty next year and will not be as strong as ever. However, he is very ambitious and hopes to go further after Rong Suihe Dingding.
So Sheng Weiqiao, the princess of Rong Sleeping Crane and the future master of the harem, naturally wanted to start trying to please her in advance.
... Gongsun Xi didn't know what Ge Zhongpeng was thinking. At that time, he was thinking about whether Ge Zhongpeng's move had any deep meaning. He was just thinking about what he would say to the queen after he met her.
After all, he clearly noticed that the situation was good that night and misunderstood that Ge Zhongpeng had betrayed Rong Shuihe, but Queen Diodong walked away. He even escorted Brother Meng Guiyu out of the imperial city, but did not even report the news to the Queen... If he gave it again... If he had a chance, he would do that.
Just thinking about the time when I presented the letter written by Sheng Weiqiao to Queen Meng, I felt a little guilty for some reason.
In the past, he decided to quietly put his things away and leave without meeting the queen's master and servants.
However, after arriving at Wangchun Palace with a familiar family, Gongsun Xi found that his plan failed.
Either Empress Meng or Chun Lai happened to block him, but as soon as he stepped into the main hall of Wangchun Palace, he noticed something strange: it was so quiet that it didn't look like there was anyone there.
"Someone" means a living person.
Gongsun Xi's heart sank, he threw away the parcel and kicked open the door of the bedroom. Sure enough, two red lings were tied to the beam. Queen Meng and the palace maid came in spring, one each, and hung themselves high, whether they fell to the ground or not. Embroidery stool.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and just as he was waiting in front of Jie Dong and the two men to check the situation, there was a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps outside the door, accompanied by shouts of "Go and watch the back window with a team of people, he can't run away!"
When Gongsun Xi fell into a tight siege and the situation became precarious, Sheng Weiqiao in northern Xinjiang watched the wet nurse carry her crying son out of the house, once again showing the expression of surviving the disaster.
This made Xuan Yu Feng next to him feel incredible: "If he hadn't seen the child fall to the ground and never left the yard from the beginning to the end, and there was no coke who was transferred, he would have doubted that he was my biological child... How come it’s okay for anyone to hold you, but you just beg to cry when I’m on your lap?”
