Shu Zhaoyi looked stern, but Meng Guiyu had a calm face, with a clear conscience, and said in a deep voice: "Replying to Zhaoyi, I really have no idea about the death of the imperial concubine!"
He glanced at the body of Concubine Shu on the door panel not far away, "As for why Bidong and Empress Zhaoyi found out that the concubine was missing, Dongzhao asked the imperial army to search everywhere. In the past, it was very clear that Fuchen sent the concubine to Bidong. In front of Concubine Yi... Concubine, I have reported it before, and the imperial concubine did not find it in person, but after the concubine discovered it, she reported it and I went to see it!"
"After all, I have been favored by the two empresses, and I am the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army has discovered the clues, so naturally they will report it to me first, and then I will convey it to you, Empress Dowager Dongfeng!"
"If your Majesty thinks that this would be suspicious..."
He lowered his eyes and showed a helpless and self-deprecating smile, "I don't have anything to say!"
Before Shu Zhaoyi could speak, Meng Guiyu raised his eyes again, looked directly into Zhaoyi's eyes, and asked steadily, "But I also have a doubt. Empress Zhaoyi asked: Should I try my best to please both empresses?" It’s too late… Why do you seek to murder the imperial concubine?!”
Shu Zhaoyi looked at him suspiciously and said: "I have Mingyue. Although it is all thanks to the support of my sisters, in this world, when have there been fewer people who can repay kindness with hatred? What's more, the reason why I entered the Forbidden Army is because of my secret confession. , I don’t know that! But I betrayed my virginity and provoked me and my sister to make him wrong, and he went from loving cruelty to disgusting and disgusting... Isn’t this a naked betrayal?!"
"I have betrayed Mi Zhen, who knows if I will stab me and my sister in the same way?!"
Meng Guiyu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, is the situation different? The reason why I wanted to betray Mi Zhen was that he recommended me to replace Ouyang Hu and serve as General Zuoweiwei of the Forbidden Army to control the waters of Chunbo Lake. Master, he seems to have great power, but at that time I had never been involved in the military service, let alone the Navy!"
"I must also know that when I entered the Navy, even the most ordinary soldiers looked down on me in Dongdong!"
"Not only was Mi Zhen indifferent to this, but he also used hard and soft tactics to force me to take his confidants under his command. He simply did not use the guise of me to usurp the power of the imperial army!"
"He has wronged my minister for being unkind, so why should I wrong him for his loyalty?"
"Secondly, I want to be honest: without Mi Zhen, I have two empresses to rely on, but without my two empresses, who can I rely on?"
"Is it secretly true? As the empress said, I have betrayed him, so he will trust me again?"
"The rebel king Rong Jing? He has a deep hatred with the Meng family. No matter how embarrassing my position among the Meng family is, is it because of my bloodline?"
"My relatives and elders are all gone as of now. The only one who is very much around is the Queen Mother. She is already very old. To be fair, even though the Queen Mother is not Bidong's biological mother, the importance of shutting up in front of Bidong cannot be compared to that of being shut up in front of Bidong." Two queens?"
"My cousin, Yuan Ju Bei Xinjiang, although he holds the position of General of Hussars, he is also considered to be in a high position, but as the saying goes, water far away cannot quench the thirst of people nearby. I don't think that I would be stupid enough to cross the river and demolish the bridge by mistake for the two empresses." ?”
"I am afraid that before my cousin goes to the east, why don't I follow my uncles to the east?!"
Shu Zhaoyi frowned and secretly analyzed the credibility of his words. However, Zhaoyi, like the imperial concubine, was favored when she entered the palace at a young age. From then on, she relied on Emperor Xuanjing's connivance to run rampant, and her family background was no longer the same. Gao, his horizons and the city were both limited. After thinking about it at that time, I felt it made sense.
Although he felt that Meng Guiyu was helpless and failed to protect his sister, he finally lost the tension a moment ago and said with a stern face: "No matter what, as the commander-in-chief, I should protect my sisters. Very awesome!"
"If something happens to sister Ruming, I will be the one to blame!!!"
Meng Guiyu knelt to the east and said, "I know the crime."
"...Don't bother talking about nonsense like knowing your guilt!" Shu Zhaoyi glanced at him in disgust and asked attentively, "Who in the end murdered my sister... I don't want to tell him that I don't know anything in my heart! Then I am with my sister. What’s the point of Bidong recommending me to be the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army?!”
"In a word, can I avenge my sister?!"
"If you can't, say it as soon as possible. Don't delay me in finding someone who can do it!"
Meng Guiyu was silent for a while and said: "Your Majesty, because I have been directing the war at the Tasha River for those months, I have no idea what went wrong with the imperial concubine. Ruming has no evidence, but if the imperial concubine asks, Please tell me who murdered the imperial concubine... I have thought of something!"
Shu Zhaoyi immediately asked: "What?"
"As for the news that came from Chang'an City in the past two months, and the reason why Wang Rongjing attacked Linyuan, it's... the death of Concubine Mo!" Meng Guiyu said eloquently, "Wang Rongjing and his youngest son The feud between the princes of Mizhen County is called father and son, which is really like the enemy. However, Ziren, the prince of Mizhen County, is outstanding, and Huan Guanlan is behind the scenes to cultivate and guide him. The rising trend cannot be stopped by Wang Rongjing if he wants to! "
"Former Ruru moved from Northern Xinjiang to Western Xinjiang, and the rebel king Rong Jing suppressed the Mi Zhen County Prince. He was so mad that he was doing things in the court, risking the lives of thousands of innocent people in Western Xinjiang, and just ignored him. Urgent document from Western Xinjiang!"
"I originally thought that after this incident, the Prince of Mi Zhen County would definitely suffer a huge defeat, and even his reputation would be ruined, and he would be unable to fight against me again!"
"Who would have known that the Prince of Mi Zhen County had planned a plan. Not only did he expel Ruru from Western Xinjiang, but he also seized a large number of war horses and supplies, and took advantage of the situation to reorganize the Western Xinjiang army. His career will be booming!"
"The counter-king Rong Jing failed in his plan and did not hesitate to persuade his biological mother, Concubine Mo, to use the news that Concubine Mo was critically ill to coerce Prince Mi Zhen... Although it is not known whether the counter-wang Rong Jing failed to seize the palace by force and retreated to Chang'an City, whether he would continue That plan was agreed upon, but it’s not surprising at all that Concubine Mo passed away at that time.”
"She has had many doctors say before that she will never recover. Even if the doctors try their best to save her life, it won't last long."
"Wang Rongjing, the king of Ming Dynasty, said that she was assassinated and that the murderous leg was caused by Linyuan's instructions... Madam, do you think it is true?"
"I believe that Wang Rongjing did it intentionally!"
Shu Zhaoyi asked inexplicably: "But what does that have to do with my sister?"
"Your Majesty, didn't Prince Rong Jing say before that Your Majesty has passed away a long time ago? If he is a substitute, then the Meng family will be responsible for the family's plan. Therefore, you and the imperial concubine are allowed to continue to serve as a substitute to cover up others' eyes?" Meng Gui? Yu reminded her, "Please forgive me for saying something heartbreaking. Although the two empresses and my aunt, the Queen Mother, are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they have never been on good terms!"
"Because Your Majesty Dongcuo is so obedient and doting on the two empresses, even though the Queen Mother does not like the two empresses, there is nothing she can do about them!"
"But then..."
"The imperial concubine is gone, and as the nephew of the Queen Mother, I am appointed as the commander-in-chief of the imperial army... Madam, tell me, what will happen to those things after they spread to Chang'an, no, I should say, after they spread to Tiandong?"
Shu Zhaoyi was startled, and her expression changed: outsiders don't know what's going on, if you really believe what King Gaomi said, "The emperor has passed away long ago, and there is no substitute for the one who reigns"... You don't even need to believe it too much, just have that in your heart. Suddenly, I heard that Concubine Shu, who was so favored by Sheng Chong and the arrogant Queen Mother, was begging to retreat...
I can’t say it, just think that Emperor Xuan Jing is indeed gone!
Otherwise, who can touch the Shu sisters? !
Combined with the fact that Meng Guiyu is Empress Dowager Meng's nephew, some people must think that it means that Empress Dowager Meng has endured the Shu sisters for many years, and finally her son died, which means that the patience of the Shu sisters has reached the extreme, or is it a hint to Meng Guiyu, Or maybe it was because Meng Guiyu cared about his aunt, so it turned out that Concubine Shu died unexpectedly and tragically without even any dignity!
"...The news of my sister's death must not be spread out!" After Shu Zhaoyi realized this, her face suddenly turned red!
Everything she pointed at was Emperor Xuan Jing.
If Emperor Xuan Jing is considered a substitute, will she be able to have a successful outcome? !
"Your Majesty, if you choose to hide it, if the news leaks out, I'm afraid it will arouse more suspicion!" Meng Guiyu reminded softly, "So, I think it is better for the Imperial Concubine to be buried in peace as soon as possible! If you make any mistakes, please tell me, Imperial Concubine The empress, was she too frightened because of the month when the rebel king Rong Jing seized the palace? During those months, the jade body has been in poor condition, and it lasted until yesterday. The medicine and stone are ineffective, the fragrance is gone, and the jade is dead... The number of days cannot be changed by human power, but it cannot be used. Come and question Bidong’s authenticity!”
Shu Zhaoyi was in a mess at that moment, and tears came to her eyes again when she heard this: "Then, doesn't it mean that the real culprit who murdered my sister cannot be investigated?!"
"Empress, we can guess who the real culprit is. It must be Wang Rongjing who cooperated with his lies about slandering Bi Dong as a substitute, so she managed to murder the imperial concubine!"
"As for who is talking about the specific east leg, let alone whether it must be a secret that has been lurking for many years. It may not be possible to find out."
"I'm just afraid that the bones are being traced, and the reverse king Rong Jing will take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and muddy the waters!"
"At that time, people in Linyuan who are already panic-stricken will become more and more chaotic."
"As for the long-term plan... Also, in the future, we can find Wang Rongjing, the culprit, to settle the blood debt. Your Majesty... I think we should put the overall situation first!"
"That's strange. I didn't protect the imperial concubine."
"So when I come back from the east, I very much ask Empress Zhaoyi not to leave Bidong's side. It's best to persuade Bidong not to leave the palace where Ruming is stationed at will!"
"Only in this way can I be sure that I will not give the opportunity to the reverse king Rong Jingdong to poison his legs again!!!"
"Whether King Rong Jing was the ruthless person of the late emperor? Before his death, the late emperor almost gave him all the people and things that could be given to him except the throne!"
"With that kind of background, while dealing with the Chang'an rebels head-on, I really want to ensure that Bidong and Empress Zhaoyi can go around without worrying about any danger... Empress, to be honest, I am stupid and really can't do this." of!"
Shu Zhaoyi shed tears and turned to look at the imperial concubine who was standing by the door. She shivered for a long time and finally made up her mind and choked with sobs: "... I will do as I please!"
"Let me take care of that matter!"
"Shut up what needs to be silenced, beat what needs to be beaten... Once it's done, there's no need to go back and forth to this palace!"
She raised her sleeves, wiped her tears fiercely, and said with a face full of resentment, "Marquis Chongxin, if I can defeat Rong Jing, help Bidong return to Chang'an Palace, and avenge my sister, what can I do? You can grant me any request!!!"
Meng Guiyu seemed to lower his head respectfully, but he did not use this action to hide a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was not Zhaoyi's familiar gentleness: "I will live up to the expectations of Empress Zhaoyi!"
