There is a three-story building outside the hunting ground, facing the mountains, with a splendid appearance. The side of the building is full of exotic flowers and trees, purple and purple vines, and lilies are intertwined. A huge plaque is hung in the flower cluster, and the words "Qionglou Yuyu" are written on it.
Meng Eqi sat on the third floor and looked out, watching the hunting situation in the hunting ground. But once the horses rushed into the woods, she couldn't see anything. Sitting here is nothing more than chatting with the family members of some noble officials, it is just a status symbol.
Meng Qiqi didn't forget that she still has business to do today.
"The empress's satin-like skin is truly incomparable to others." Madam Qiao, the wife of Mr. Wei, the middle servant, is very capable, and Meng Qiqi has been dragged by her to talk about a stick of incense.
The female relatives next to them listened, and they all agreed: "How does the maiden take care of it?"
"She is beautiful, and she has never paid too much attention to the maintenance of her skin." Meng Qiqi replied absentmindedly, but her eyes kept glancing to the second floor. There sat the rest of the concubines who came out of the palace today, and Chu Cainu was also inside.
"Sister Queen's remarks make us feel ashamed. We are both women, so why is there such a big difference?" Concubine Shu interrupted at the right time with the mentality of never stopping. She has a special status and is the niece of the Queen Mother. It is already known to everyone that it is not right with the Queen.
Meng Qiqi was overjoyed when she saw Concubine Shu coming, but she didn't show any expression on her face. He just waved his hand and called Concubine Shu to come closer: "Sister Concubine Shu came just in time, and this palace is suddenly a little tired, and I want to go to the back to change a piece of clothes. I will ask you to deal with these female relatives for a while, sister Concubine Shu may be able to afford this palace. This task given to you?"
Concubine Shu raised a contemptuous and somewhat smug smile: "Don't worry, Sister Empress, it's not the first time my sister has done this kind of thing. Before my sister really took power, it was always done by my sister, so I can rest assured."
Seeing that Concubine Shu waved her sleeves wide, she began to entertain the female relatives like a hostess. Meng Eqi gave a meaningful smile, turned around and went downstairs.
When she got to the second floor, she coughed lightly, and Chu Cainu, who was leaning on the side to embroider herself, got up knowingly. , No matter how good your craftsmanship is, you shouldn't take it out for the time being. Since you're here to see the emperor hunting, you should concentrate more."
Chu Cainu bowed her head slightly and bowed her knees: "What the mother taught is."
"Since you have nothing to do, come with Ben Gong and re-do your hair for Ben Gong."
The concubines watched Chu Cainu follow Meng Qiqi downstairs, and they whispered.
"The Empress is extra dignified today."
"Who's not, maybe it's because the Empress has been particularly favored recently, and the emperor has begun to pay attention to her, so the Empress wants to find someone to stand up for her in advance. It's just that she is pitiful for Chu Cainu, a person who usually does not make a sound, but at this time, she is pulled by the Empress. Go kill the chickens and show the monkeys."
"Eh? Gao Meiren, who are you a monkey?"
…
Meng Eqi took the Chu Cai female cat against the wall and slid to the stables. According to the agreement, the man who brought the Gong bucket last time will wait for them there. At that time, Meng Eqi will watch the loving couple ride their horses and fly away, and then she will go back to the building to continue watching the hunting as if nothing had happened. All the plans are so seamless in Meng Eqi's mind. .
"Empress Empress," Seeing that she was about to reach Ma Peng, Chu Cainu stopped, she looked at Meng Eqi gratefully: "I didn't think that you would really be willing to help, this concubine may not be able to do it again. I won't be able to see you anymore. From now on, the cloud and mud will be different. Empress, please take care of your health."
Meng Qiqi was afraid of guards patrolling over, so she looked around, feeling a little anxious, so she didn't listen to Chu Cainu's words, she just waved her hand as if she didn't care: "Don't call yourself a concubine in the future, go out of this hunting mountain. , you are a free person."
Chu Yu felt a little touched, and sighed: "Freedom, what a good word. Actually, I want to apologize to you, Empress. If it wasn't for my silence back then, you wouldn't be where you are now. But fortunately, the emperor is right now. You are so loving, all your grievances in those days can be dissipated. I just didn’t expect my silence back then, but now you can repay your grievances with virtue, please let your concubine bow to you at last.”
After all, she folded her arms and knees slightly, and was about to kneel before Meng Qiqi.
Meng Eqi hurriedly grabbed her: "What happened to you back then? What happened back then?" Afraid of being discovered, Meng Eqi hurriedly added: "I mean, I've had a hard time these past few years, so I don't know. Which one are you referring to?"
Chu Cainu was a little puzzled: "You...you actually forgot?" She smiled bitterly: "That's right, at that time, you had no face in this incident, and it was the first time that my concubine saw you running around the palace with a bloodless face and no manners. On the road. You may forget, it is better to forget than remember."
Meng Eqi dragged her tightly: "Chu Cainu, if this palace asks you, you must answer it clearly."
Chu Yu was obviously frightened, she was afraid that Meng Eqi would not help her out of the palace, so she trembled: "When you first entered the palace, the maidservant you brought with you was slandered and had fornication with others. She was implicated by the empress dowager. That day... when the concubine stood with you, I did see that the guard did not have an affair with your maid, but the concubine was soft-spoken at that time, and the concubine Shu was very powerful, so the concubine... did not To clarify for you. At that time, the concubine wanted to explain it to you in person, but saw you come out of the Jianzhang Palace where the emperor lived in despair. Later, I heard that the maid was sent out of the palace, and the concubine did not know the rest. ."
Chu Yu asked eagerly: "Empress Empress, you won't regret it? The concubine did make a mistake that day, and I implore you not to hate the concubine, please."
Meng Eqi couldn't listen to her other words, and her mind was in chaos. The maid in Chu Yu's mouth should be Lu, but wasn't Lu sent away before Meng Yong entered the palace? Why did Chu Yu say that it was sent away after entering the palace
She was slightly ecstatic, but in Chu Cainu's eyes, she was very panicked. She immediately knelt down and begged Meng Qiqi: "Empress Empress, the concubine is really wrong, I shouldn't clarify for you that day."
Chu Cainu thought that if the queen was willing to help her, she had forgotten the past, not to mention that it had nothing to do with her. Even if she clarified, Concubine Shu would not make the queen feel better. But Chu Cainu didn't expect that her unintentional sentence would cause the queen to react so much.
"Chu Cainu, have you met my maid?" Meng Qiqi asked suddenly.
Looking at her lacquered eyes, Chu Yu trembled lightly: "Naturally... Naturally, I have seen it."
"Chu Cainu, you can't leave yet, you need to stay and help me confirm one thing and recognize a person." Meng Qiqi had a bold idea in her heart, and she held Chu Yu tightly.
Chu Yu was afraid that Meng Eqi would go back on it, but now hearing her like this, her whole body collapsed. She didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly broke free from Meng Qiqi's restraint.
"Empress Empress, as you said, the freedom of the concubine is very close at hand, the concubine will not go back, thank you today, and please forgive the crime of disrespect of the concubine." After that, she pushed hard with both hands, Meng Qi Ei was unprepared and pushed to the ground by her.
Landing on the buttocks brought not only the pain in the buttocks, but also the inexplicable pain in the heart from the abdomen.
Meng Qiqi got up from the ground and wanted to chase after Chu Cainu, who had run far away, but she felt that the scene in front of her began to shake violently, her feet were weak and soft, and finally fell powerlessly to the ground.
How can you feel this way? As if she had just squeezed into Meng Yong's body, she felt that someone had pulled her spirit body away from Meng Yong's body.
Sheng Jiayan! Help!
…
In the woods, Sheng Jiayan wore black armor and sat on a tall horse. He pulled the bow and arrow to perfection and aimed it at a doe in the deep forest. Sheng Jiayan narrowed his eyes slightly, the arrow was about to be sent out on the string.
"Your Majesty." Jing Fan appeared out of nowhere and saluted with a smile.
He startled the doe away with this sound, Sheng Jiayan frowned slightly, and took the bow and arrow. In a cold voice: "Master Jing, swords and arrows have no eyes, why don't you sit in the building and come here, do you have something to do with me?"
Jing Fan smiled mildly: "It's not a minister, it's the empress."
Sheng Jiayan paused slightly: "Queen?"
Jing Fan knew that he was doubting the veracity of his words, and he was not angry, he just said: "Last night, I watched the stars and noticed that the phoenix star had changed, so I came here to pay special attention to the empress. Just now Weichen found out..." He deliberately After a pause: "The Empress is not in the building anymore, I don't know where she went."
Sheng Jiayan's face sank, and he turned his horse and was about to go back to find Meng Qiqi.
Jing Fan stopped him at the right time: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The things that the Empress has been obsessed with are very dangerous. Please persuade her a lot, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Sheng Jiayan stopped his horse, looked back at Jing Fan, and asked quietly, "What position did you stand on for me to persuade the queen."
Jing Fan did not hesitate, and replied respectfully: "For you and all the people."
Sheng Jiayan looked up in confusion, then turned and left without saying a word.
The smile on Jing Fan's face after he left was not reduced by half, but a careful observation would find that this seemingly capable Master Shi smiled perfectly and without flaws, but this smile was not enough. It's like a gorgeous satin on the surface, but no one knows what's inside.
When Meng Qiqi was found, she was lying on the mud ground outside Ma Peng.
"Niangniang, quickly drink this medicine soup."
Meng Qiqi leaned on the bed, took the cup and drank it. After Sheng Jiayan finished arranging the affairs of the outside world, he swept away the rest of the palace people from the outside.
"Amen," Sheng Jiayan touched her wrist, "feeling better?"
