"Actually, there is no other reason." Aunt Zhao smiled and said nothing at this question. After a while, she arrived at Xiangji Hall. After the ceremony, the maids served tea and they exchanged a few words. Princess Gaomi thoughtfully asked Aunt Zhao to introduce Xia Hou The old lady went to the wing to see Mrs. Ming.
Mrs. Ming was lying drowsily in the tent. There was a faint scent of medicine in the room. Aunt Zhao explained that it was the smell left behind after someone had just served Mrs. Ming and drank a calming decoction. Not dispersed.
Outside the tent were guarding two little maids with bright eyes and white teeth. They looked very clean and well-behaved. When they saw Aunt Zhao coming with Mrs. Xiahou, they said hello in a low voice. They moved the embroidery stool and made tea without any instructions. They were very good at reading. The look of his eyes.
When Mrs. Xiahou saw it, she was even more astonished and said secretly: "This princess was praised by everyone in her early years. Like Qiao Er and Cai Kui, the county master Jingshu, she is famous for being all-rounded! However, since the secret After Zhen disappeared, she was bedridden for many years, and her temperament seemed to have completely changed, and she became famous for being reserved and cold!"
"Even if Qiao'er is her daughter-in-law, let's not say that she has never liked Qiao'er. Usually, the Sheng family and our old Xu family, although the New Year's gifts are nothing to criticize, they don't have much contact with each other."
"Why are you suddenly extending a helping hand and being considerate and considerate now?"
She was full of doubts. Seeing that the old lady didn't have to worry about it for the time being, she went back to the hall with Aunt Zhao and asked Princess Gaomi the reason straight to the point.
Hearing this, Princess Gaomi smiled calmly and said, "Although we have not had much contact with each other in the past two years, I have already said that I will never forget the kindness shown to He'er by both families!"
"It's just that Rong Jing and I have been separated for a long time, and the relationship between husband and wife is just that. This time he wants to attack both families, and I can't stop him!"
"But the three old masters are just paying it back. I will never allow him to touch the female relatives and juniors of the two families!"
"That's it!" Mrs. Xiahou said unexpectedly, "I was just thinking that the princess rarely goes out and everyone is not very familiar with her. Why do we two old ladies make the prince unhappy today?"
Although Princess Gaomi knelt down at Ningwei Hou Mansion and made a promise, everyone was shocked by Rong Suihe's life experience at that time and didn't take it to heart at all. What's more, neither the Xu family nor the Sheng family were threatening A person who repays kindness.
That's why when Princess Gaomi took the initiative to bring it up, Mrs. Xiahou suddenly realized, thinking that if this princess didn't use this cover to have some ideas, such as using euphemisms or something... then she would really be a trustworthy person.
She pondered for a moment and then tried, "It's just... After all, the prince is the mother-in-law of the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law did this for our two families. Of course the prince gave in just now. If we pursue it in the future, wouldn't it ruin the harmony between the mother-in-law and the prince?" "
"Don't worry, old lady, I can still do this." Princess Gaomi smiled and said, "Besides, he doesn't believe what the old lady said, but I believe that the old lady knows nothing about the person he wants to know. I don’t know... I don’t want to think about the fact that the man surnamed Huan faked his death and there has been no news for more than ten years, which shows how well he concealed the news!"
"How could such a person leak his actions and traces to the Sheng family and the Xu family?"
"Rong Jing is so afraid of that person that she's a little frightened, but I'm not afraid of that person! So, what Rong Jing can't understand, I think about it very clearly."
"So the old lady doesn't have to be afraid that I will ask you something in a roundabout way... Rather than asking you questions, I would rather listen to you talk about He'er's past?"
When Mrs. Xiahou followed Mr. Xu in Northern Xinjiang, she had the habit of helping her husband with official matters. Now when she heard this, she thought to herself: "Who knows if you want to deduce the person named Huan through Mi Zhen's past events? "
So he said: "I am also willing to tell you about Prince Mi Zhen! But I don't want to hide it from your Majesty. When I was in Sangzi, I was just a neighboring county with the Prince. Later, although I went to Sheng Mansion to visit with me, After staying for a few days, the county prince went north to take the exam with Qiaoer and my unsatisfactory grandson."
"And because I am a daughter-in-law, I haven't seen much of the prince, but I don't know much about him either."
Princess Gaomi was a little disappointed after hearing this, but she still smiled and said: "That's alright, let's just chat."
While they were chatting here, the atmosphere in the front hall seemed to be tense!
Because they knew that Old Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Xu had both been soldiers for their whole lives and had seen all kinds of bloody scenes. Even Old Mrs. Feng, who had spent most of his life in Nanfeng County, as the head of a powerful family, was not an ordinary person.
King Gaomi did not intimidate them in the same way he had dealt with the two old ladies before. Instead, after the three people sat down, he said bluntly: "Meng Boqin burned the camp, poisoned the horses, and lured his family members north to join Ruru as the new khan." Nafuzhen's subordinates were pardoned by Nafuzhen because they offered the head of Meng Jiagan, the legitimate son of the former Khan Dengchenliyu who was the culprit in the assassination of the former Khan Dengchen Liyu, and he was granted the title of Qi Lifa, and he was ranked as an important minister of the Great Mu!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Feng's expressions suddenly changed. At the same time, they thought of Sheng Weiqiao who was still in Northern Xinjiang!
This was especially true for Mr. Feng, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat almost instantly!
"So what's going on in Northern Xinjiang now?" Mr. Xu, however, was still able to hold his own and asked.
King Gaomi said calmly: "The more Meng Boqin knows about Northern Xinjiang, the more ruthless he will be. What do you three think?"
What he said was so vague, it made the three of them even more frightened.
Mr. Feng tightened his sleeves with a little trembling, and asked in a trembling voice: "I don't know if the prince knows that Cao Min's granddaughter is the prince's young daughter-in-law... Counting the days, she should have just given birth to a grandson for the prince... Is there any news about her?!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Xu's breaths stagnated at the same time, and their hearts rose to their throats, fearing they would hear bad news.
"...Kang Zhao?" King Gaomi was slightly startled. With so many things going on these days, he had forgotten the little daughter-in-law he didn't like very much. As for the grandchildren born by Sheng Weiqiao...the four daughters under the crown prince's knees. The three sons are all smart and sensible. To be honest, King Gaomi has no expectations for Rong Suihe's descendants, so naturally he doesn't attach much importance to them.
At this moment, when asked by Mr. Feng, he squinted his eyes for a while and said, "I have sent people to inquire about his whereabouts."
In fact, the report King Gaomi had just received only mentioned Meng Boqin's defection to Ruru after he made a big fuss in Jizhou, and nothing else was mentioned.
After all, this report was sent back by spies from Northern Xinjiang using the fastest falcon. Although the falcon can carry a heavier load than a pigeon, it is also limited and cannot be lengthy.
What's more, although many people know about Sheng Weiqiao's pregnancy and delivery in Northern Xinjiang, not many people in the other hospital where she works know about it. As for premature birth, it is even more strictly kept secret!
Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi have always been at odds with each other in Northern Xinjiang over the years. In the past, when Zhao Shi was still under the command of King Gaomi, his people were the people of King Gaomi, and the king of Gaomi would also know the news he got. Later, Zhao Shi switched to Rong Suihe, and his people were Rong Suihe's people. Of course, the news he got was only told to Rong Suihe.
Even if Qi Jianxun's son served in the Northern Xinjiang army, King Gaomi would not suddenly lose sight of him in Northern Xinjiang, but he was still tied up and no longer as well-informed as before.
It would be great if the news about Meng Boqin could be sent back in time, let alone clarifying Sheng Weiqiao's situation.
But of course these high-density kings would not tell Mr. Feng and others, but they kept their words ambiguous and made the three old men guess it. Their faces turned pale and frightened, and they could hardly even hold the tea bowl!
Especially King Gaomi then added: "Ruru's new Khan Nafu is really the half-brother of Denchen Liyu Khan who just passed away. He was deeply loved by the old Khan in his early years, but because of his youth and ignorance, he was betrayed by Denchen Liyu. He planned to seize the throne and even forced his biological mother to death! I guess the in-laws and Mr. Xu know these past events better than I do? "
"Dengchen Liyu had his own heirs, but he passed the throne to Na Fuzhen... Although he passed it on in person in front of everyone before his death, Na Fuzhen's accession to the throne was still influenced by Dengchen Liyu's disciples, especially It’s the opposition and doubts from the mother clan and wife clan of those heirs!”
"So since Nafu Zhen practiced Zuo, it is said that he has been trying every means to win over people's hearts in order to stabilize his throne."
"But Meng Boqin's submission and the initiative to offer the head of Meng Jiaqian made Nafuzhen fulfill his promise to avenge Dengchen Liyu, and his reputation increased greatly. Dengchen Liyu's descendants are almost no longer his opponents! "
"This person has been eyeing my country for a long time... Last year, he personally acted as a vanguard and failed to offend Western Xinjiang. He fled back to the grassland in embarrassment. How could he not take advantage of the leaderless situation in the Central Plains to take advantage of the fire and add insult to injury?!"
When Mrs. Feng and Mr. Xu heard this, their expressions changed, and they looked at Mrs. Sheng uncontrollably from the corner of their eyes.
Old Mrs. Sheng's face was ashen and he murmured: "I knew... I knew... something must have happened in Northern Xinjiang or Western Xinjiang... It turns out... that Fuzhen... why didn't I just kill him back then?! Sure enough, Ruru These wolf cubs deserve to die! They should be killed one by one on sight and sent away from their infancy, so that there will be no tragedy like that of others later on!"
"My in-laws, you have always been righteous!" King Gaomi took a sip of tea, looked at Old Mrs. Sheng, and said slowly, "You should know that I invited the three of you here today not just for personal grudges, but for this. The world is alive!"
"Others don't understand Ruru's cruelty. My dear, you have been guarding northern Xinjiang for many years, so you don't know it best!"
"Before, the Chang'an court was stable and the Northern Xinjiang army was on the alert. Ruru Shang even killed Bei Xinjiang and suffered a series of defeats. Several cities were lost!"
"After transferring to Western Xinjiang, everywhere we went was a scorched earth. Even Yizhou City, the capital of Western Xinjiang, was burned to the ground!"
"Although the losses in these two places are heavy, because they are just borders after all, for me, Damu, it is not a big deal!"
"However… "
"Now Northern Xinjiang has been destroyed by Meng Boqin, and it is almost devastated!"
"Although there is Mi Zhen in the Western Xinjiang, the foundation of the Western Xinjiang army is there. The early defeat of Seli was all due to traps. But traps can never be used again!"
"If Chang'an is still in the current situation, if the world is still presided over by a leader like the deceased Xuan Jing... My dear old man, what do you think the outcome will be?!"
King Gaomi said these words slowly and slowly, but to Mr. Sheng, every word seemed like a double-edged sword, piercing his heart and forcing him to make a choice!
