How could Queen Mother Meng know what her nephew was thinking
She was not very shrewd to begin with, but as she aged and lost her energy, it became more and more difficult for her to tell the truth from lies, especially when Meng Guiyu spoke to her heart: She was so fond of Meng Boqin that he was so kind, so partial, and so fond of her. She gave all the best things to her nephew. During the years when Emperor Xuan Jing was estranged from her because of the Shu sisters, it can be said that the Queen Mother wronged Meng Boqin more than she wronged Emperor Xuan Jing!
How could Meng Boqin have never thought that she was old at that time and had been hit by all kinds of bad news and could not bear the excitement, so even if Meng Guiyu had any suspicions, he should hide it and try to comfort her aunt instead of denying it. Bu Sheng filed a complaint on the 37th and 21st, asking himself, who is old and frail and has only a few months to live, to help him vent his anger? !
Compared with the many explanations and submissions given by Meng Guiyu before, that reason made Empress Dowager Meng completely unable to refuse.
The Queen Mother believed him almost immediately.
At that moment, looking at the nephew in front of me, I couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed. I hugged him and said with tears: "My kid is smart, he can see the problem at a glance! He's not like that old fool from the Ai family. He who refuses to listen to the wind is almost separated from his own flesh and blood by a few words from an outsider!"
"What did my aunt say?" Meng Guiyu said softly, "That's all because of my nephew. He didn't come to visit you often, so someone took advantage of you. In the final analysis, my nephew is a filial piety. From now on, my nephew will definitely spare more time to come and accompany you!"
He had just said that he had not visited the Queen Mother much recently, and the Queen Mother felt that he was not sincere at all.
But at that time, I felt that I couldn't fault him. As I listened to it, I secretly thought that my nephew had suffered so much injustice, but he didn't complain a word. People feel sad. But my aunt obviously only has two nephews left. Compared to Meng Guihan's impatience and lack of presence, Meng Guiyu can be said to be gentle and sweet-tongued. But most people in Putiandong hope to have her most. of juniors.
Why am I so confused that I don’t know how to cherish him, and why am I always suspicious of him
He couldn't help wiping away his tears and said: "It seems that I have a heavy burden on my shoulders. The old bones of the Ai family can't help me share the burden, but they always hold me back. How can I do that? I don't put big things first. There is nothing in the Ai family. of!"
She was also worried that he might doubt him if something similar would happen to her again, so she added, "I only come here when I have free time and am not tired. If I overwork myself because I came over to see the Ai family, will the Ai family not allow it?" "
Meng Guiyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt! If I don't send you back to the imperial city in peace and glory to clean up Chang'an, my nephew will not fall into the trap no matter what!"
"What do you mean?" Empress Dowager Meng asked, "I will send the Ai family and the emperor's son back to the imperial city, and I will also purge Chang'an. They cannot be destroyed! The Ai family and the emperor's son are both old, and state affairs Can't you count on me?"
The aunt and nephew were considerate of each other at that time, and after resolving their old grudges, their relationship with each other seemed to be on a higher level.
At that time, Meng Guiyu said to the Queen Mother: "Aunt, the reason why my nephew suggested that the third brother defect to Ruru is because... my nephew is really scared!"
Queen Mother Meng originally wanted to say that she believed him and there was no need to explain, but after thinking about it, Meng Guiyu probably felt uneasy, so she asked: "Afraid?"
"Wrong!" Meng Guiyu let go of the Queen Mother, knelt down and said with red eyes, "Auntie, think about it, the Meng family has always had luxuriant branches and leaves, but your generation only has four houses. People! In my nephew's generation, the youngest has ten brothers, and the youngest sister is even fifteen!"
"If you go back to Didong, the Jiayan family and the Yuan family are of their generation, and there are even more people!"
"Before this great change, could you have imagined that the Meng family would have a desolate month?"
"Are you going against Wang Rongjing? He needs to consider this issue because he has no offspring, right?"
Tears gradually fell from his eyes, and his voice became hoarse, "But overnight... just overnight!"
"Except for the third brother from Yuanju Beijiang and the nephew, all the four members of the Meng family are no longer alive!!!"
"In those few months, my nephew still doesn't know how he got here?"
"With almost closing your eyes, you can see your eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, eldest brother, second brother, brothers, nephews, nieces, and grandnephews... standing in front of you covered in blood!!!"
"My nephew even thinks that everything is just a dream, and it will be fine if he wakes up!"
At this point, he opened his clothes, exposed his chest, and showed Empress Dowager Meng the scars on her chest. "My nephew cut his own body with a knife, trying to wake himself up from his dream, but..."
He loosened his clothes, hugged his head with his legs, and almost fell to his feet, as if he was extremely uncomfortable.
The Queen Mother, who was lying on the bed, was also extremely distressed, thinking to herself: "At first, the Qi Ai family doubted whether he was involved in the death of his eldest brother and the others. Now look at it, the child is so sad, and there is nothing he can do to help. Big brother and the others have legs and legs with Choi, even if they have legs, how can he mess with those legs?"
The scars on Meng Guiyu's chest were so neat that it looked like he had cut them with a knife.
Moreover, the scars were old and new. Some had scabs and scars, while others were fresh and oozing with pus. Obviously, I just came over tomorrow to make temporary preparations for the Queen Mother, but I have really been planning for some confinement.
The Queen Mother couldn't help crying and said: "My child! Why don't you come and tell the Ai family that I'm feeling uncomfortable? If you really want to move your legs, you can beat and scold the palace people, why don't you use a knife on yourself?! Just now, Meng said The people of Ming Dynasty are withering away, but they don’t care about themselves so much! Do I want to ask for the life of the Ai family?!"
"Aunt, there are only a few people left in the Meng family." Meng Guiyu didn't answer at first. He hugged his head and huddled up for a while, then seemed to recover. He held on to the edge of the couch and said sadly, somewhat shaky, "Nephew Tongguihan. The people around me are in Chang'an, and Ru Ming has no choice but to enter Linyuan, and my aunt and Bidong are there, so no matter what happens in the future, I won't be able to get away no matter what!"
"However, the third brother's family is in northern Xinjiang, and the Meng family suffered such a huge loss. If... My nephew thought, if the third brother sent his army to the south, he could put down the rebellion of the rebel king Rong Jing and avenge the Meng family. Of course, The best!"
"Can you..."
"What if?"
"If the third brother loses his leg, wouldn't it mean that the uncle's leg is gone?"
"How can such a nephew have the face to go to Didong to meet his uncle and his missing aunt?!"
"After all, Rong Jing has the legacy of the late emperor, and her background is unfathomable. His youngest son, Prince Mi Zhen, has an ambiguous relationship with Huan Guanlan. He is suspected of being a master and disciple!"
"No matter how discordant the father and son are, how could they be united when they wrongly paid Meng's family?"
"Auntie, you said..."
"I just said, Huan Guanlan?!" Empress Dowager Meng opened her mouth, but had no intention of listening to his continued explanation. She reached out and held his legs and arms, and asked tremblingly, "Huan Guanlan... Huan Gong... he... he... he didn't Die?! He’s back?!”
Not only the Queen Mother was shocked, but Chi Zuosi next to her was also astonished.
Although the Jishan bandits defected to Rong Suihe without warning, the high-ranking officials of both the Gaomi King and the Meng family had guessed that there was someone behind Rong Suihe, and they quickly guessed that Huan Guanlan was behind him.
Meng Guiyu even brought the matter directly to the Shu sisters, paving the way for his Qing Yunzhi.
But Empress Dowager Meng's master and servants never knew about this.
That's because the Queen Mother usually doesn't ask about political affairs. When Meng asked her to come forward, she just told her what to do. As for why she did it and what kind of impact it would have after doing it... those Meng She may not be able to say it, and the Queen Mother may not be willing to listen to it. After all, the Queen Mother is not good at intrigues, and in her current status, she really can't be bothered to listen to others' lessons.
What's more, if it hadn't been for Huan Guanlan, Emperor Xuanjing would have never succeeded to the throne.
Emperor Xuan Jing had forgotten all that kindness ever since he met the Shu sisters.
Did Empress Dowager Meng remember it more or less, otherwise she would not have given Dong Yi's decree to Huan Guanlan's eldest son Feng Bo, and treated his granddaughter Huan Yehe, the head of Jingshu County, kindly.
If Empress Dowager Meng knew that Huan Guanlan was still alive, she would be upset if she couldn't tell. Meng didn't want the Empress Dowager to worry about this matter, so she kept it a secret.
At this moment, when the Queen Mother heard Meng Guiyu mention the ambiguous relationship between Rong Suihe and Huan Guanlan, she said that Huan Guanlan was alive and acting secretly, and asked to support Rong Suihe to inherit the throne to avenge the past grudges. Wasn't it like hearing a bolt from the blue
"Aunt?" Meng Guiyu also realized that he had made a mistake. He quickly supported her and asked urgently, "Aunt, how are you? Aunt, please stay calm... Chi Zuosi, go get the medicine quickly. !”
The Queen Mother was confused and in a trance. She drank a bowl of medicine while being served by the two men, and she felt light and airy all over.
When Meng Guiyu saw this, he persuaded her to put her down so that she could have a good sleep and regain her energy. Gu Zhijie continued to keep silent.
But the Queen Mother refused, pulling on his sleeve and begging him to explain Huan Guanlan's situation before leaving.
