Queen Meng left Leyi Palace with an indifferent expression. She frowned in the phoenix chariot on the way and said to herself: "Although I have just scared Shu Zhaoyi, given her current situation, she should not be able to fight to the death with me for the time being... However, She could actually say that even if I wasn't afraid of her telling the Queen Mother about my previous hiding place with A Xi in the palace, I would be afraid of her telling Meng Guiyu. Obviously, even if she didn't know A Xi's exact identity, she should at least know it. The person who rescued me and took me into hiding in the palace at that time was Mi Zhen, who was an enemy of Meng Guiyu!"
This is a huge hidden danger. If it is not eliminated, the queen will not be able to rest assured.
The problem is, as she told Luyin and Luxin before, Shu Zhaoyi is not a fool. She knows that her current situation is not as free and carefree as before, and she also has an important handle on the queen. How could she not threaten the queen before How many hands should be left to ensure that even if the queen kills her, the truth will be exposed
And thoroughly investigate Shu Zhaoyi’s surroundings to find out who she handed over to...
This is not something the Queen can do with her current strength.
If there were other matters, such as concealing the child in his belly and pretending to be the emperor's heir, he could ask Meng Guiyu for help.
But she couldn't let Meng Guiyu know about this at any cost.
"It will take at least half a month for me to reveal my pregnancy." The queen calculated in her mind, "And Shu Zhaoyi's delivery is only more than half a year away. Such a short time is not enough for me to find out her details and ensure the success of her silence. !To accomplish this now, we can only use force."
And when she was in the palace, she could only come into contact with a few people.
Neither the Queen Mother nor Meng Guiyu can ask for help in this matter...
The queen subconsciously caressed her still flat belly and thought to herself, "It seems that I can only find someone with a secret heart!"
So when she returned to Wangchun Palace, she ordered people to release Lu Yin and Lu Xin, and sent them back.
The master and servant met again, and both sides were not in a good mood.
Xuyin and Luixin were more nervous and vigilant. After all, the Queen summoned soldiers to drag them down without any warning. This situation made them feel that the Queen was going to betray them.
Even these days, their life in the back hall is actually not bad. They eat and drink well every day, and they don't receive any ill treatment or cold words.
But the two of them only knew that this was a conspiracy between Meng Guiyu and Queen Meng's brother and sister, and did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Seeing Queen Meng alone at this moment, her guard was particularly high, and she was always ready to die in the line of duty.
The queen saw what they were thinking, pursed her lips, and explained: "I had no other intention that day. You all persuaded me to give up this child, but I really couldn't bear it, so I killed it first and later... I have wronged you in the past two days!"
Xianyin sneered and said: "Your Majesty has a noble status. As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all graces. The slaves have humble bodies, so why should they feel wronged?"
"I know you blame me." Queen Meng took a sip of the rose dew in front of her and said with a sad look, "After all, we haven't been together for long, and you are from Wuyi Camp, so you are not someone who trusts people easily. It is indeed difficult for you to understand what I did this time... But you should also think about it for me, why should I come back to this ghost place to be the queen of this mess?!"
"Is it for the false reputation of the Lord of the Central Palace, or is it the illusory promise of the Queen Mother?!"
"In the final analysis, I am doing it for Ah Xi!!!"
"For him, I am willing to do anything, take any risks, and even betray my family, including my aunt who has always loved me!!!"
"Then, how can I be willing to abort his bloodline with me?!"
She said this with some excitement, then changed her bitter look and said, "I know, in your eyes, I and Ah Xi are both still young! So it doesn't matter if this child is gone!"
"but!"
"You must tell the truth with your conscience: Even if Dong Liang keeps saying that I can reunite with Ah Xi and openly marry him... now Gongsun Su and the others have left Meng Guiyu's hands long ago, but you and I are still here. Don’t talk about it in this palace, do you see any hope of leaving in a short period of time?!”
When these words were spoken, Luyin and Luxin, who were originally full of anger, felt a little guilty, and lowered their heads: before, they had tipped off the news, assisted Meng Li and the others, and helped Gongsun Su and his group, while Meng Guiyu was fully focused on attacking. Chang'an and Gaomi left quietly when they captured the King of Gaomi. However, the five of them had no time to escape, let alone take the queen with them.
Now I can only leave the mistakes behind and continue to deal with Meng Guiyu.
It's just that the imperial city at this moment is tightly guarded because the Empress Dowager, Emperor Xuan Jing and other dignitaries are there, so it's not easy for the six of them to leave.
"Axi is Mi Zhen's confidant, deeply trusted and relied upon." Queen Meng continued, "Although he is still young, it is time for him to start a family long ago! If Gongsun Su and the others left before, we would also follow Now, go and reunite with him and decide on your identity, then I will feel relieved."
"but now!"
"I'm not with him. Who knows if those who have taken refuge in Mi Zhen, especially those officials who withdrew from Chang'an with the rebellious king Rong Jing, will take a fancy to him and offer their daughters, nieces, etc.?!"
"Those are all noble ladies, most likely talented and beautiful, and have family backgrounds to use as bargaining chips."
"What do I have in comparison?!"
"You dare to say that even if I waste time in this palace, Ah Xi will always be waiting for me outside?!"
The queen sneered, tears falling, "Since Dong Liang can calculate that Ah Xi and I are actually married, if he thinks it is more appropriate for Ah Xi to marry someone else, wouldn't he use the same method to force Ah Xi to treat me Breaking a promise?! I don’t tell secret words in front of others. I don’t know how your director treats others, but he really doesn’t have much credibility with me!"
"After all, even if I'm not worth mentioning in his mind, not just anyone can do anything to ruin someone's innocence, right?!"
Luyin and Luxin were speechless when questioned. In fact, they knew that Dong Liang really thought this way: to use Gongsun Xi to make Empress Meng work for her life.
As for whether Gongsun Xi will definitely be given to the queen as a reward in the end, that is not necessarily the case.
"Since there are so many uncertainties between Ah Xi and I, I want to keep our child as a souvenir..." Queen Meng took a deep breath, "In this way, even if we can meet again someday, even if he already has a lovely wife. With my beautiful concubine by my side, I am not lonely at all... Is that too much?"
After all, Xuyin and Luixin were young. Although they had been brainwashed by the Wuyi Camp, they took things like murder, arson, and frame-up of innocent people very lightly. But because there are relatively few actual combats, the sense of morality has not been completely lost.
At this moment, it seemed that the Queen had not betrayed or betrayed them. She was still one of her own. They felt somewhat sympathetic towards her sad and plaintive look.
After hesitating for a while, they looked at each other and said: "Now that the empress has shown her cards with Marquis Chongxin, and has obtained Marquis Chongxin's help, she has been sleeping with His Majesty several times... Do the servants still want to be here now?" Are we going against you?"
Queen Meng felt relieved when she heard this. The reason why she had asked the soldiers to put the two men under house arrest in the back hall was that she was afraid that they would prevent her from seeking help from Meng Guiyu, and she was afraid that they would kill her and make her a child. Produce.
Seeing Luyin and Luixin say this at this moment, although they don't immediately trust them completely, it is a sign of reconciliation between master and servant.
So he changed his smile and said: "I have made an agreement with Meng Guiyu. If this child is a boy, then of course he will be the crown prince or the new king; if he is a girl, he will follow the example of my cousin Meng Fangfei. A twin!"
She sighed, "I hope it's a girl."
This is true. Girls cannot inherit the throne. The young master's errands will be taken over by children who have no blood relationship with her. Although they will receive less attention, relatively speaking, they are safer.
Xuyin and Luixin comforted her softly: "It doesn't matter if she is a boy or a girl. They are both your and Axi's bloodline anyway. As long as you are healthy and safe, you will be fine."
The queen said a few more words about her expectations for the child's appearance, temperament, and talent, and Luyin and Luixin also echoed her words.
In this way, with the concerted efforts of the master and servants, the atmosphere in the palace gradually became harmonious.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, the queen sighed and said her purpose: "Meng Guiyu, as for the child's true life experience, I still told him that when the rebel king Rong Jing was in charge of Chang'an, there were daring imperial guards who misbehaved with me. In the end, I was killed by you. The things that were silenced... But Shu Zhaoyi became suspicious and defensive because of my two visits to His Majesty, so she just made trouble with me, implying that she actually knew about Ah Xi!"
Suyin and Luixin were both surprised when they heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Then what else did she say?"
"I am just afraid that as a queen, once I give birth to a legitimate son, she and the child in her belly will be of no use!" Queen Meng's eyes flashed and she said, "That's why she was frightened and threatened me to give her a Explain...I tried my best to calm her down for the time being, but I'm always worried about leaving such a hidden danger!"
Xuyin and Luixin looked at each other and said in unison: "Not to mention that the empress is not at ease, we are also very uneasy... It's just that there are only a few of us in the palace at the moment. Are we really unable to deal with her?"
Queen Meng pondered: "That Ge Zhongpeng...?"
"There really isn't anything wrong with the recent news from him, and we have no other options now." Lu Xin said, "Why don't we tell Manager Dong about this and ask him to make a decision?"
This was exactly what the queen wanted, and she readily agreed.
But they didn't know that Luyin and Luixin turned around and said, "We were imprisoned for these few days. Who knows what the Queen and Meng Guiyu said in private? They are biological cousins after all! If you contact Director Dong rashly now, you might as well be giving them directions!"
He decided immediately to remind Dong Liang in a code word that all five of them might be exposed, and Queen Meng was suspected of betrayal! ! !
