"Ayan..." Meng Eqi shouted in a dizzy voice, "I feel dizzy."
Sheng Jiayan naturally pulled her into his arms, and went to the place where her spiritual veins were located behind her. Feeling the vibration of the veins under his fingertips, Sheng Jiayan was a little relieved.
"It's okay," he reassured in a deep voice, "you just fell, and you'll be fine after a while."
Meng Eqi was like a mortal suffering from a cold. In the warm autumn weather, she was still shivering while wrapped in a thick blanket. Occasionally, there are waves of panic, Meng Qiqi took Sheng Jiayan's hand: "I feel that Meng Yong's body is unstable, and now I seem to be mutually exclusive with her, and I even raise my hand. I'm running out of strength."
Meng Qiqi was right, she even occasionally flashed Meng Yong's memory in her mind.
Sheng Jiayan hugged her tightly: "It won't be unstable, no matter how bad the result is, you will go back to the underworld before me."
Meng Eqi opened his mouth, but nothing came out, he could only nod weakly.
"Your Majesty," Zhou Xing's imperial guard commander He Jia replied from the outside: "The concubine who pushed the empress and wanted to escape has been caught, and there is also a stranger who is not on this list. That man refuses to do anything by himself Come here, and also firmly deny knowing Chu Cainu."
Sheng Jiayan looked at Meng Eqi, who gave him a pleading look. He sighed inaudibly, and then turned to the outside world and said coldly: "First bring Chu Cainu, I have something to ask her. As for the other person, let him taste the pain of flesh and blood first."
When Meng Qiqi heard this, she squeezed Sheng Jiayan's hand tightly, and Sheng Jiayan turned to comfort her: "She made you fall like this, it's not an exaggeration for me to make that man suffer a little."
He is already like this, and Meng Eqi has no other rebuttal words.
When Chu Cainu came in, she knelt down in front of Meng Qiqi's bed as soon as she came in: "Empress Empress, this minister and concubine know it's wrong."
The guard stepped forward and carried her to a place a little further away, Meng Qiqi raised his hand slightly, and the guard was willing to let go.
Chu Cainu crawled back to Meng Qiqi's bed again, crying tears raining pear flowers. From Meng Qiqi's point of view, she could be seen obediently leaning on the ground. She was dressed in crescent-white satin clothes when she came. At this time, she was rubbed with mud when she was struggling to escape, and Wan's neat sideburns were also messy. Describe embarrassed.
But it was all for the man who claimed to have nothing to do with her as soon as something happened.
Thinking of this, Meng Eqi sighed slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "What is the name of the person you like, I have never asked the name."
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment before replying: "Jiang Ting."
Meng Qiqi nodded: "Someone interrogated him just now, but he left himself clean and claimed that he didn't know you. Do you think he was trying to take the opportunity to clear his relationship with you for fear of being implicated and punished by you, or he didn't want to let you Involved in this matter?"
Chu Yu's delicate body trembled, she raised her tearful eyes, and her dark white lips trembled as she said weakly, "No, he's not that kind of person."
Meng Qiqi changed to a comfortable position to lean on, Sheng Jiayan sat beside him, and was speechless from beginning to end. He was willing to give this opportunity of interrogation to Meng Eqi, and Meng Eqi was very satisfied with this.
After all, you have to be responsible for the basket you stabbed to the end!
"How did you meet this Jiang Ting?" Meng Qiqi asked someone to bring a soft chair to Chu Yu, allowing her to sit down and answer.
Chu Yu sobbed twice, raised her eyes and looked at Sheng Jiayan with heart. She was afraid of the emperor's anger, but in the blink of an eye, she looked at the empress's concerned eyes. Chu Yu knew that she couldn't hide it now. He said calmly: "He and I met at a spring banquet seven years ago. At that time, he was just a distant relative of an official's family. After our brief acquaintance, we have been in contact by letters. He appreciates my Nvhong, I feel sorry for my unfavorable situation. He will take care of me and protect me. Jiang Ting had promised before that after I escaped from the palace with him, he would work hard to make money for me to open an embroidery workshop. He knew that I like needlework. He will not let me suffer. His family is not in good condition, and his distant relatives also fell in an accident. After Jiang Ting became poor, it was I who bought all the silver taels I had saved in the palace over the past few years to get him When I entered the palace, I thought that even if we couldn't stay together for a long time, it would be good to be able to face each other occasionally. But you discovered the matter, and you suddenly made me realize that Jiang Ting actually has ulterior motives... "
Chu Yu gave a wry smile: "Empress Empress, you asked your concubine... how to believe it?"
Meng Qiqi shook her head slightly: "I don't need you to believe me, I just want to tell you that there are many infatuated children in this world, but few immortal couples. Sometimes your tenderness may actually be wrong. No matter what Jiang Ting Because this matter is whether I want to give up on you or protect you, it has nothing to do with me. The words of my advice have just been passed, I will do what I say, and I will let you two leave. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shen took out a box from the cabinet and handed it over.
"There is some gold in it, which is your trouble. If he is still willing to take you away, or if you are still willing to go with him, you can take this and fly away, and you don't have to live a life of fear, because neither your Majesty nor I will go after him. You guys. But if you regret it..." Meng Qiqi paused and smiled slowly: "Just take this money to open an embroidery workshop and do what you want. Without Jiang Ting, you would have no worries. Maybe in the future your embroidery will become famous, and I can show off the peony picture you gave me back then."
Chu Yu may be a girl who likes to cry very much. Tears kept pouring out of her, and she kept thanking her. She opened her mouth and seemed to have a lot to say, but nothing came out. In the end, she kowtowed heavily to Meng Eqi: "Thank you, Empress."
Meng Eqi waved his hand: "If you go, it will be difficult to go down the mountain when it gets dark again."
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, and she asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, can the concubine speak to the Queen alone?"
Sheng Jiayan glanced sideways at Meng Eqi, who clasped his palm with his fingers under the quilt.
Sheng Jiayan got up slowly: "I'm waiting outside."
His words were related to Meng Qiqi.
After Sheng Jiayan went out, Chu Yucai smiled bitterly: "Empress Empress, the emperor really loves you now."
"Well... that's right." Meng Qiqi replied absentmindedly.
Because maybe Zhou Xing and Meng Yong are back, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen will become tense again.
"Niangniang, in fact, the concubine knew something that other people didn't know about what happened back then. I didn't dare to come out back then, but now I want to report it to you." Chu Yu seemed to have made up her mind. Locked Meng Qiqi.
"What happened back then?"
"It was rumored that your maid was having an affair with the guard back then. In fact, there is a secret behind this incident." Chu Yu bit her lip and continued, "The guard was deliberately arranged to make people think that your maid was with the bodyguard. The guards are fornicating and implicate you by the way."
Meng Qiqi closed his eyes slightly, every meridian in his mind seemed to be aching. She pressed her fingertips to her temples, frowning slightly. Meng Yong's memory flew through his mind like fragments.
Back then, Lu was slandered for having an affair with the guards, and Concubine Shu sued the queen mother. The queen mother made Meng Yong kneel in the Shoukang Palace for two full hours on the charge of being lax under Meng Yong's rule and humiliating the majesty of the family.
The Empress Dowager's cold eyes, Concubine Shu's ridicule, and the pointing of the palace servants in front of Shoukang Palace seemed to be vivid in my mind. Meng Eqi saw it very clearly, as if he had experienced it himself.
"I know," she said, her voice hoarse: "Of course there is a secret. Concubine Shu did it, didn't she?"
"No." Chu Yu said hurriedly: "It was actually your other maid, Min, who did this at the time. Today's Noble Min."
Meng Qiqi was startled, and his heart suddenly ached. As if Meng Yong heard the news, she heard her voice uncontrollably ask: "How come?"
"Because the concubines and the people in the palace didn't make good friends, no one was willing to take care of the concubines. So the concubines had nothing to do other than embroidering women's red every day. The concubines remembered very clearly that day. , it was raining a lot, and the concubine was preparing for the empress dowager's birthday next month. I happened to embroider the 'shou' character in Kai, but there was a little gold thread missing. So the concubine went to pick it up by myself. It was not easy to walk, so the concubine took a shortcut from the road of Zhuoxiangchi to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When passing through the deserted Guanju Palace, she saw Mrs. Min hurriedly leave from there, and she dropped an object in a hurry, and it happened that the concubine saw it. I picked it up and prepared to give it back to her. But she didn't seem to hear her after calling her a lot, so the concubine thought that she would wait until the next time she had the opportunity to visit the empress, and then return the items. But soon after that, the green quilt came out. The matter of slandering fornication has also implicated the Empress."
Chu Yu took out a brocade bag from her arms and handed it to Meng Qiqi, she said, "This brocade bag was dropped by the noble man back then. The concubine took a look after returning to the pavilion, and this brocade bag was embroidered on it. The family crest of the 'Meng Mansion' happened to be a concubine who knew very well about needlework, so after a cursory look, it was indeed not the craftsmanship in the palace. I thought maybe it was something in the dowry brought by the queen from home. The next time she saw Mrs. Min on the palace road, she denied that she did not leave the cabinet, she denied it in every possible way, and the concubine became suspicious, so she did not take out the treasure."
When Chu Yu arrived here, Meng Eqi had already heard it very clearly.
"Do you suspect that it is Mrs. Min who colluded with the men of the Meng family to frame me?"
Chu Yu nodded heavily: "But it's just a guess, after all, the concubine is a woman who knows nothing. Moreover, this matter is very important, and the concubine dare not report it to the empress. Because... Because Meng Mansion is your mother's family, How could it be designed to harm you. But there is something strange, the concubines are just suspicions. I thought that I would take this right and wrong away when I left the palace this time, and bury this secret forever. The concubine doesn't know how to repay you, so this is the only way..."
Meng Eqi looked at the kit carefully, the edges and corners had been twisted, and the inside of the kit was empty, but there was a family crest belonging to Meng's house on the stitched line.
If it's really something from the Meng family, there's nothing wrong with it.
