It seems that there is a chance to meet this Mrs. Jiang.
A few days later, Meng Eqi heard Concubine Hui go and beg Concubine Shu to beg her to visit her family in the palace. Concubine Shu may be overly expressive, but she agreed to Concubine Hui without knowing the pros and cons, and then Concubine Shu went to the Queen Mother's place to take care of Concubine Hui. Knowing the benefits, the queen mother would not agree to Concubine Shu. She thought that it would be fine to persuade her privately. How could she have thought that this matter was passed on to Sheng Jiayan's ears.
Sheng Jiayan was worried that there was no place to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. As soon as he knew about this, after a stick of incense, he demoted Concubine Shu to a noble person on the grounds that it was 'not worthy of women's virtue and unworthy of women's training', and let Concubine Shu cry and talk to the Queen Mother. Love is useless. Afterwards, Sheng Jiayan personally sent someone to condolence to the terminally ill Lord Wang Lang: "I heard that Wang Qing's family's physical condition is getting worse every day, and Concubine Hui is thinking about Concubine Shu's help. It must be because she is sick."
Concubine Shu is the niece of the Empress Dowager, and she can be implicated now. Wang Lang has always been shrewd, how could he not understand that this is the emperor warning him? After all, the empress dowager's face can be disregarded, this is to show that if he Wang Lang is not honest, the emperor will have other actions.
So after half a month, Wang Lang recovered automatically and began to go to court. A few months ago, he was still making a fuss about life and death, and now he never mentions it.
Meng Qiqi laughed for a long time after she found out. Concubine Shu was not stupid, she just heard that Concubine Hui had come to beg the queen many times but the queen would not allow her. She must have agreed to press the queen. Who would have thought that there was another Sheng Jiayan among them. 's handwriting.
After Concubine Shu was demoted to a nobleman, she still wouldn't come for her daily greetings, but she didn't dare to trouble Meng Qiqi again, thinking that she would have peace for a while.
Meng Qiqi has been in a good mood these days. Although Sheng Jiayan is too busy to visit her often, it still doesn't affect her. On this day, Meng Eqi asked Bi Qi to make her specialty pastries, and she was in a good mood, so she couldn't help but eat a few more pieces of jujube mud cake. After that, Bi Qi Cui Lai served her to bathe and wash, so she turned off the lights early to rest.
Before going to bed, Meng Eqi was still reminiscing about the taste of the jujube mud cake, thinking in her heart that Biqi's craftsmanship is so good, if she goes to the underworld in the future, she may be her own sidekick!
Thinking like this, she fell asleep.
The moonlight was bright and the breeze was gentle tonight. Meng Qiqi had a good dream.
"Niang Niang, Niang Niang is not good..."
Meng Eqi was sleeping Zhengxiang, but was dragged from the bed and swayed.
"What's the matter, is the queen mother having a headache again? I'll go right now." Meng Eqi stretched out her feet in confusion to find her shoes.
"No goddess! The Emperor's Jianzhang Palace has gone into the water, and I heard that an assassin broke in!"
Bi Qi's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, so frightened that Meng Qiqi woke up immediately. With her hair loose, she walked quickly to the window with bare feet, opened her half fan to look out, and the night wind came in and rolled up the ends of Meng Qiqi's hair.
I don't know when the bright moon has disappeared, and the strong wind beats the leaves in the courtyard again and again.
Her Fengyi Palace opened the window to see Jianzhang Palace not far away. It doesn't look like the fire is raging. On weekdays, the Jianzhang Palace's precautionary measures are very good, but today the gangsters have taken advantage of the loopholes.
"Oops..." Meng Eqi's slender fingers clung to the railing, frowning tightly.
Seeing this, Cuilui hurriedly comforted her, "Niangniang, don't worry, there is a close-fitting Tiewei by the emperor's side, so nothing will happen."
"No... I'm worried about what the assassins will do when they sneak over here. Fengyi Palace is not far from Jianzhang Palace!" Meng Qiqi wanted to cry without tears.
Cuilui: "..."
Who has time to worry about Sheng Jiayan!
The assassin made such a big move. According to Sheng Jiayan's character, he would definitely not let it go. The most important thing is that when the emperor was still a prince, the previous emperor went around to fight and kill many enemies, so although all the princes of the previous emperor were not It is completely qualified in writing and ink, but it is absolutely qualified to dance with a knife and get a gun. Sheng Jiayan's body is very comparable in martial arts accomplishments, and presumably ordinary assassins can't hurt him. But the scary part is that if the assassin misses, he will definitely think of a way out. If you think about it from the perspective of an assassin, Fengyi Palace must be the best way out.
When everyone was concentrating on Jianzhang Palace, naturally not many people paid attention to Fengyi Palace, which must be a good place to hide. And if the assassin can hold the queen hostage again...
Thinking of this, Meng Eqi's teeth were cold.
"Cuilubiqi, quickly ask the eunuchs and guards to search the Fengyi Palace, and don't let go of the cabinets and boxes in the front and back of the room!" Meng Eqi hurriedly turned around and instructed.
Just as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw a dark... person squatting on the beam of her bedroom. At this moment, she was staring at her with dangerous eyes, and Meng Eqi felt her brain numb.
Good or bad spirit really made her think right.
Cuilui and Bi Qi also nodded solemnly and wrote down their orders.
The person on the beam was staring at her, like an eagle waiting for an opportunity to hunt, and his eyes clearly implied killing intent. Meng Qiqi also stared at him closely, her whole body was on guard, her mind was running fast.
At this moment, someone shouted to see you outside the palace: "Empress Empress, an assassin was found in the palace, Gao Jia was ordered to come to check the safety, and I begged the Empress to open the door."
Cuilu Biqi was overjoyed, "It's the tall commander."
Meng Eqi shouted badly in her heart, and reached out to grab the two of them, but Cuilui had already opened the door one step ahead. Between the lightning and flint, Meng Eqi only felt a cold light flash in front of him, and subconsciously took a step back.
The next second, Bi Qi screamed in shock.
A group of hula la crowded in, only to see that the assassin had already taken Meng Eqi hostage.
Gao Jia was the first to react, with a loud voice: "Bold thief, if you dare to hurt my queen, you must not leave this imperial city alive today."
The assassin was unmoved: "If I can drag the queen down to the underworld, it won't be a loss!"
The assassin pushed Meng Eqi forward, and the miserable white blade was lying between Meng Eqi's neck. Gao Jia and the others stepped back slowly, not daring to act rashly. The two parties confronted each other outside the Fengyi Palace.
The night wind rolled up Meng Qiqi's thin bedclothes, she forced herself to calm down, and she could hear her voice very clearly at night: "It's useless for you to hold me, you must have heard or knew the emperor's temperament when you came here, he A queen will definitely not let someone who wants to kill him go. So, I'm just a waste chess who can't bring you a quid pro quo, not to mention I'm an unfavorable queen. A useless queen, There is no value in the emperor's eyes, you can't get what you want."
Everyone was silent, Sheng Jiayan's indifference most of them had heard or even seen it with their own eyes, and the relationship between the queen and the emperor was indeed very bad. Although it has improved recently, the "good" point is pitiful. The Queen's words seem to have some truth. Even the assassin hesitated for a moment, and just when Meng Eqi wanted to continue to follow his instructions, a cold voice drifted into everyone's ears along with the night wind.
"I'll change with you."
Sheng Jiayan walked slowly from the palace gate. He also didn't change his bedclothes, and even his black hair like a waterfall had not been combed, but his stern eyebrows did not show a trace of panic. With his arrival, Meng Eqi could see the rows of guards behind him.
"You are holding the queen hostage, and I will grant all requests within the scope."
The assassin was obviously a little moved. He saw Sheng Jiayan's approach and felt inexplicably oppressive. He clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, and tightened Meng Qiqi's grip: "The emperor is not someone who does not believe in his words, I ask to bring the queen. Come with me out of the palace, and another fast horse and some entanglements. I will naturally leave her outside the palace, otherwise how would I know that the emperor will not go back on his word."
"Yes." Sheng Jiayan agreed almost without thinking.
From beginning to end, Sheng Jiayan didn't look at Meng Qiqi.
Probably the assassin did not expect that the emperor would agree so readily, so he was stunned for a moment and urged Sheng Jiayan to bring the horse quickly.
Sheng Jiayan raised his head slightly, and someone brought a brown horse over, as if he had prepared it in advance. Sheng Jiayan took the reins naturally and was about to take a step forward.
The assassin was very vigilant: "The emperor's martial arts are excellent, let the horse come over by himself."
The emperor looked indifferent and could not see any difference, but he really agreed with the assassin's proposal. Gently patted the horse, the horse actually stepped forward on its own.
Just when the brown horse was about to reach the assassin's reach, the brown horse suddenly went crazy, raised its front hooves and neighed loudly, and was about to step on the assassin and Meng Qiqi.
When the assassin was in a panic, he felt a fierce palm wind blowing towards his face. Subconsciously dodging, he also let go of the hand holding Meng Eqi. Meng Eqi knew that the opportunity was coming and hurriedly escaped.
She looked back, and she was so frightened that her face paled. The assassin took out the bow and crossbow he was carrying from behind, and was ready to attack Sheng Jiayan, who was only a few steps away from him. The moment the assassin pressed the crossbow, Meng Eqi rushed over without thinking.
At a certain distance, the power of the bow and crossbow was not enough, and the crossbow directly sank into Meng Qiqi's shoulder blades, causing Meng Qiqi to take a few steps back and almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, she felt that there was a wall of flesh behind her to lean against.
An arrow crossbow pierced through Meng Qiqi's shoulders and pierced into Sheng Jiayan's chest at the same time.
At the same time, random arrows like raindrops killed the assassin.
Before Meng Eqi fell to the ground and fell into a coma, she wanted to turn around and look at Sheng Jiayan's face, but she couldn't bear the huge pain, and passed out in the dark.
When I woke up again, it was already three days later.
Meng Qiqi slowly opened her eyes, the real dragon embroidered with gold thread on the bed curtain was a little dazzling, and the yellow fringe beside the bed was gently rippling.
She felt a burning pain in her heart, and slowly raised her hand to touch it, but only felt the bandage.
"The Empress Dowager, the emperor is awake." Upon seeing this, a palace maid outside the bed tent hurriedly informed the Queen Mother who was sitting at the table with her eyes closed and resting.
I saw the old lady walking in three steps and two steps, looking at Meng Eqi distressed: "How is the emperor feeling? Does it still hurt? This time is really thrilling, and it almost hurt your heart. How the family should explain to the late emperor."
She was in tears.
Meng Qiqi was puzzled, why did the empress dowager call her emperor? She tried to shout: "Mother...I..."
She paused after the words were finished, this was not her voice! This slightly hoarse voice is all too familiar to Meng Eqi, this is clearly Sheng Jiayan's voice!
