Sheng Jiayan didn't say anything, just looked at Luo Xue outside thoughtfully.
That night, Meng Eqi was lying on the cold bed, curled up shyly.
The night was silent, and there was no palace maid outside, Meng Qiqi wanted to get up to drink a glass of water by herself, but kicked the chair beside her, trembling in pain again.
She poured the cold bitter tea into her mouth, and heard the sound of pines and cypresses falling to the ground under the pressure of the snow.
Suddenly, Meng Qiqi's ears moved slightly, and she heard an unusual sound.
With deliberately light steps, he moved towards her room.
Meng Eqi hid in the dark alertly, and took hold of the narrow-necked vase next to her.
The person who came first pushed the door open a crack, looked inside for a while, then pushed the door wider, and walked in with a cat on his waist.
Meng Eqi saw that the person came in a strange shape and seemed to be bloated, which was different from the ordinary assassins who broke into the palace. But in the end it was a sneaky person, Meng Qiqi immediately dodged out and threw the vase in his hand.
Her figure is fast, who knows that the other party's skills are faster than hers.
I saw that the man with the cat on his waist suddenly reached out a hand from behind, and firmly caught the vase that Meng Qiqi split. He was so powerful that Meng Qiqi quickly took a few steps back.
Only then did the man with the cat on his waist notice the movement above his head, and hurriedly stood up and suppressed his happy voice: "Qiqi! It's me."
Meng Qiqi couldn't see clearly, but with this soft voice, she said in surprise, "Suhe?! How did you appear here?"
She had just finished asking when the owner who caught the vase's arm outside the door also walked in.
Meng Eqi looked over vaguely, and seemed to be an extremely tall man. He didn't say anything, just turned around and closed the door, and then guarded Su He's side.
Su He slowly moved over with his eight-month-old belly: "I've been thinking about how you're doing now. When you were healthy, I wanted to come to see you in the capital, but someone always stopped me."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the man beside her resentfully.
Meng Qiqi had a lingering fear in her heart. If this man hadn't shot it just now, wouldn't her vase have been smashed against Su He's head? Thinking of this, she was a little scared, and reprimanded: "How can you trespass the palace, in case the guards on patrol find out that the sword has no eyes, you don't want to die!?"
Su He pulled her hands together, but found that Meng Eqi's hands were even colder than hers: "I heard that you can't see anymore, so I'm very anxious. Seeing you like this now, I know you're not doing well. You I know everything about you, so this time I'm here to bring you back to Chu."
"Return to Chu Country?"
"Yeah," Su He nodded and pulled her to the chair to sit down: "Because your father did have contacts with Lord Nie of Chu State back then. It's a little bit of close contact, but it's not enough when it comes to collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. As for."
Su He pushed the man behind him: "Nie Lin, you are with her!"
The man named Nie Lin took out the fire book from his arms and lit the palace candle beside him. Only then did Meng Qiqi see the appearance of this man.
He was slender and slender in a nocturnal black robe, with a handsome nose and lips under his slightly feminine eyebrows. With such a meticulous appearance, his expression at this time seemed a little distant and indifferent.
Meng Eqi looked at him, then at Su He, and asked, "Is this your bodyguard?"
Su He covered his face with his sleeves, burst out laughing, and then blushed: "This is my husband, Nie Lin."
"Your husband Nie Lin?" Meng Qiqi was surprised: "Shouldn't your husband be Gao Zhen of the Gao Fu..."
"That's not it!" Su He hurriedly defended when he noticed Nie Lin's face suddenly darkening: "I came to Jin to get out of my temper first, and secondly to find the token that Nie Houye gave to your father back then. I entered the capital, but because I ran out of entanglements, I was sold to Ya Po, and later Ya Po sold me to Gao Fu as a slave. In fact, I was already a month pregnant at that time, and I didn’t know it myself. On the day of Gao Zhen I just happened to bump into me when I was drunk and had fun with others. I don’t know how the news that I was favored by the young master came out the next day, but I was wronged. But I can’t believe that this child is not Gao Zhen, otherwise I will not be able to keep it. This child is here. We must know that our family Nie Lin is not in good health, so it is very difficult to conceive a child... "
"Cough," Nie Lin coughed in a low voice, and then Su He shut up. He glared at Su He secretly: "I'm sorry if I'm not honest, I'll take care of you when I go back."
He came to Meng Eqi, the tall figure cast a shadow, Meng Eqi was covered in this shadow, and only felt cold sweat.
"Back then, my father and your father were friendly and occasionally exchanged letters. At that time, the situation between Chu and Jin was tense, and Emperor Chu wanted to send a detailed work, but a mediocre woman would not be taken seriously when entering the palace. At that time, your Meng family In Jin State, he was famous for his fortune-telling and fortune-telling, so my father thought of asking your father to make a fortune-telling, saying that this woman who has entered the palace is a unique person. Whoever has her will be at your fingertips. Your father At first they disagreed, but later your eyes caused a commotion in your family, and your father asked my father to take you out of Jin after you were married."
"Perhaps at that time, he knew that his life was not long and wanted to take you away from right and wrong at the last moment. After this woman entered the palace, there was another prophecy from the Meng family. Of course, she was loved by your emperor of Jin. But she knew that her prophecy was false, and she was afraid that a lie would be exposed, so she thought of silence."
"So that happened when you were eight years old, when it was too late when my father sent someone there. We all thought you were dead, but we didn't expect you to live to this day. You are still by the new emperor's side, and you have an important role to play. identity of."
Nie Lin's final tone was scrutinized, as if to weigh Meng Qiqi's weight in Sheng Jiayan's heart.
Meng Eqi was also thinking about it in her heart. The father in Nie Lin's mouth is probably Nie Houye. The Chu country's Nie Houye is a fierce general of the Chu country. When he was young, he fought all over the world, and his son Nie Houye was also famous. The Nie family has a great business and is a famous family in Chu State. The most powerful person in their family is now the prime minister, assisting the emperor in daily government affairs.
The emperor of Chu Kingdom is only nine years old now, so that Prime Minister Nie can be regarded as the only one.
Meng Eqi heard what Nie Lin said, but her first reaction was that she was afraid that Nie Lin would take her and threaten Sheng Jiayan to do something unavoidable.
"Who is that woman?"
"Concubine Zhao." When Nie Lin spat out these three words, he seemed to have a faint contempt.
It turned out to be Concubine Zhao...
Meng Qiqi was young and she was not in the court. She did not know that her father made a false prophecy for Concubine Zhao. I only know that since she can remember, she has been watching the battle between the queen and Zhao Guifei by Sheng Jiayan's side. I can't complain about the strong family background like the Queen, and I am also afraid of a poor woman like Zhao Guifei.
It was because he was afraid that the old emperor would obey his 'will' and help Concubine Zhao become the queen dowager.
In this way, his father helped the emperor of the enemy country to send in a woman who was somewhat threatening. It is not an exaggeration to cooperate with the enemy and treason...
Therefore, Sheng Jiayan has not made a decision for a long time, presumably because no other evidence can be found to prove that the Meng family did not intervene in this matter.
"Qiqi," Su He clenched her hands: "Your affairs are dealt with to the end, even if he is very kind, he will not be able to keep you in the palace. Now he is about to draft, and the harem will be full, what should you do? What about yourself? Even if he wants to keep you by his side and continue to serve him, what kind of status should he give you? What kind of identity should you reappear in front of everyone? Why don't you go back to Chu State with me, Nie Hou Grandpa is very happy to hear that you are still alive, he wants to take good care of you for your father, and wants to make up for the kindness owed to your family back then."
Meng Eqi hesitated, and she even subconsciously wanted to decline. But Suhe's reasoning is not unreasonable. If she continues to stay here, it will be a problem for Sheng Jiayanlai. My own eyes can't see clearly, and it's even more of a burden.
But aside from Sheng Jiayan, the blood feud of dozens of lives in his Meng Mansion, is that enough
Concubine Zhao Gui and King Xiang are still alive, even if they are locked in the dungeon, they can still breathe. But what should the souls of the dead Mengfu people use to comfort them
Meng Qiqi would be unfilial if he did not take revenge. But hiding this revenge from Sheng Jiayan is disloyalty.
"Do you still have that white hairpin?" Nie Lin asked.
Meng Eqi took out the ordinary white jade hairpin from the bottom of the makeup box: "Is this? This was not given to me by my father, but given to me by a businessman surnamed Lin. It was my father who was injured back then. When they were discovered, they used it as a token to promise to meet again in the future."
Nie Lin looked at it for a while and confirmed, "This was given to me by my father back then. When I saw this hosta, I could remember the pact I made that day."
At this moment, a flash of light flashed in Meng Qiqi's mind.
Manager Lin's family has been hunted down for many days, and every piece of evidence indicates that the hunted person came from the imperial city. It is very likely that Concubine Zhao did it in order to regain this so-called promised hairpin? Because of the fear of being discovered, we must destroy the token and all those who have been in contact with it.
When his father was seriously injured, he gave the hairpin to Shopkeeper Lin. It is very likely that Concubine Zhao misunderstood that Meng Qiqi's father told shopkeeper Lin everything. That's why the chase continues.
Meng Qiqi's hand holding the hosta gradually tightened.
She didn't dare to think about how her father gave this hot potato to the innocent Lin family. This hairpin represented the struggle between Chu and Jin, but the innocent Meng Lin family rolled in.
The dead will die in vain for this, and the living will still pay the price.
Meng Qiqi's heart suddenly became mixed with five flavors.
"But my father..." Nie Lin thought about it for a moment, and finally said: "Actually, this hairpin was just handed over to Uncle Meng by him, in order to make Uncle Meng feel at ease. If Concubine Zhao hadn't held on to it, My father has long forgotten that there is such a token."
