"The Empress Dowager's body is ill, so you should go to the imperial doctor immediately. Even if there are thousands of things wrong with your concubine, you can't help but take your own body seriously." Meng Eqi said, turning around and looking for the imperial doctor.
The palace maid at the door stopped her, and the queen mother measured behind her: "Empress Xianhui, don't panic at this time. Aijia likes Buddha, not a violent person. Since you entered the palace, there has been no one under your knees. The Emperor Zi never forsakes you. We have never treated you badly. It stands to reason that you are the queen, so you should not be allowed to return to the residence. I am a daughter, so I can understand it. But I didn't expect that the trust of Aijia and the emperor in you would be abused by you. You'd better tell what happened in Jiutan Temple one by one, such as A little bit expires, Aijia can't spare you."
Meng Qiqi looked at the queen mother coldly in her heart. How dare this old woman never treat Meng Yong badly? How could she lie with her eyes open, Meng Qiqi looked at Concubine Shu who was proud of herself, knowing that the queen mother was doing everything she could to make Concubine Shu sit in the position of empress.
This damn old woman...
"The bridge down the mountain from Yanghua Mountain, where Jiutan Temple is located, suddenly collapsed for some reason, and the concubine had to stay on the mountain for one night. I didn't go out except sleeping in the room that night. I went back to the palace the next day. , I haven't even gone back to the Meng Mansion. I don't know what the Empress Dowager is referring to?" Meng Eqi's waist was straight and she was not afraid.
The mother beside the queen mother picked some mint from the sandalwood box and smeared it on the queen mother's forehead. In order to relieve the pain, the queen mother closed her eyes. Then he quietly said: "If it's really what you think, why does Aijia hear different from what you think? Your mother ****** stayed in Jiutan Temple for two hours and left, leaving you alone. What are you doing in the temple? How can there be such an outrageous thing, the mother left first, leaving the daughter alone in the temple? Queen, did you meet someone?"
Meng Eqi's heart thumped, and she wanted to cry without tears. This **** really killed her. She had already seen Li Yushu, so she had to cheat her out. Looking at the appearance of the queen mother, she obviously knew everything, and deliberately asked her to humiliate her.
Meng Qiqi had no choice but to answer truthfully: "My concubine ran into a cousin in the temple, so we chatted for a while. We ate dinner together at Qingyun Tower. After that, the cousin left first, and the concubine sat in the building for a while. We only left after the meeting. The bridge suddenly broke when we were going down the mountain, so I had no choice but to choose to stay in the temple. But since the separation of Qingyun Tower, the concubines have never seen their cousins again.”
The empress dowager sneered coldly: "It's nonsense." The maid beside her took out an object from her sleeve and threw it in front of Meng Eqi. Meng Eqi took a closer look and saw that it was actually a man's belt.
"If you and him were separated from Qingyun Tower and never saw each other again, why did this belt appear in the fasting room of the temple the next morning? The belt on this belt is like a jewel, do you know the queen?"
Meng Eqi leaned in and looked at it, where could she not recognize him. Such a big 'li' word!
This shows that someone wants to harm Meng Yong!
Meng Qiqi couldn't produce any evidence to prove his innocence now, so he said in a hurry: "The empress dowager, the concubines are really innocent. The maids who went with them can testify for the concubines!"
Just at this time, the eunuch outside came to report: "Qi to the Empress Dowager, the two maids brought back from Jiutan Temple this time by the Empress Dowager have crashed into the wall and died because they refused to admit the evidence of the crime."
There was a sudden explosion of thunder, and the color gradually became cloudy.
The palace maid died without evidence, and the dark guard didn't know if it went smoothly to Sheng Jiayan. If the queen mother really wants to force her to confess her guilt, I am afraid there are ways to stop the news and not report it to Sheng Jiayan. And she didn't go back to the palace with Sheng Jiayan today.
After a while, I heard the cold and ruthless voice of the Queen Mother coming from above: "Aijia has a very headache now, Queen, you go."
Concubine Shu immediately said: "The Empress Dowager, why don't the Queen kneel outside and admit her mistake, and then call her in when you are more comfortable."
The empress dowager said nothing, and looked down at Meng Qiqi: "Empress, what do you think?"
Meng Eqi bit her lower lip, her face unyielding: "The concubine can kneel, but the concubine is really innocent."
After that, she turned to the outside, bent her knees, and knelt on the cold white jade steps outside the Shoukang Palace.
The gust of wind and the swirling drizzle soon swept over, and the maids who were guarding the door all entered the hall to take shelter from the rain. Poor Meng Eqi was still kneeling in the rain, letting the wind blow and rain.
The drizzle gradually turned into a torrential downpour, and the bean-sized raindrops knocked on Meng Eqi. There was no noisy wind in his ears, only the pouring sound of the rainstorm made Meng Qiqi's mind extremely clear.
First, the **** invited her to go to Jiutan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and then she deliberately set herself aside to meet Li Yushu. Then, on the way back, he encountered a broken bridge and stayed on the mountain for one night. After that, he met Liu Lingyun and chatted for a while, and he was charged with adultery when he rushed back to the palace.
Meng Eqi tried her best to recall that when she first arrived at the city gate, the guard stopped her directly. At that time, the Empress Dowager had already ordered people to catch Meng Eqi when she returned to the palace, and it took only half a day for the broken bridge to happen, and the Empress Dowager knew all about it.
Up to now, Meng Qiqi is still unclear.
There was no one around, Meng Qiqi smiled bitterly: "Meng Yong, Meng Yong, I know why you have been in such a difficult situation in the palace for so many years. Your family is plotting against you, and the people in the palace are walking on thin ice against you. Not too much."
Now that Meng Eqi knows what the other party wants to do, she is not afraid. Don't you want to deal with her, then come one by one! No one can run away anyway, pick you up one by one.
Otherwise, when she leaves, Meng Yong's life will not change at all.
After kneeling for a while, Meng Eqi's eyes gradually blurred, and his physical strength gradually became exhausted. Just moments before she fell to the ground, she saw a phoenix sedan swaying over, and stepped out a pair of colorful butterfly shoes.
Other than that, Meng Qiqi lost consciousness before he could look at anything else.
What woke her up was a tingling pain in her arm.
"Ouch!" She howled and sat up, startling Zhaoluan sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Sister-in-law, you are awake." Zhaoluan showed a rare smile to Meng Eqi.
"Zhaoluan... how could it be you?"
Zhaoluan helped her to sit up: "Why can't it be me? Are you waiting for the royal brother? Don't wait for him, he is entangled by the court officials, and he can't get out, so let me save you first. Slightly."
Zhaoluan waved her fat white hand, and the palace maid brought the medicine Meng Eqi had drunk: "Drink up the imperial sister-in-law to get rid of the cold. If you really can't give birth, you're going to cry."
Meng Eqi drank it all and looked at Zhaoluan: "Why do you..."
"Why am I willing to save you?" Zhaoluan seemed to know what she was going to ask: "Why else, for Young Master Li."
Li Yushu this guy...
"Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to go to Shoukang Palace to get you. My mother has a rare tantrum. If it wasn't for me begging hard, no one would know if you died outside Shoukang Palace. But don't thank me, I don't accept it. Your kindness, I do this also to thank you for revealing the news of Young Master Li to me."
The news... Wouldn't it refer to Meng Eqi's prank? When she returned to the palace, she asked Zhaoluan to tell Li Yushu that Li Yushu was very busy recently. Could it be that Zhaoluan was for this matter...
Meng Qiqi looked at Zhaoluan's innocent and innocent eyes, and guilt emerged in her heart.
"Zhaoluan, in fact, Li Yushu..."
"I know, do you think others are not good." Zhaoluan pouted, looking like he didn't care: "It doesn't matter, anyway, he will only be one of the princess' concubines in the future."
Meng Qiqi almost spit out a mouthful of the decoction: "One, one?!"
"Yes." Zhaoluan nodded: "I'm here this time because the emperor promised me that he will find a way to recruit consorts for me in the future. I can see one who loves one, and find one who likes one."
"..." Sheng Jiayan, what kind of agreement did you reach with her!
There were two clear knocks on the door, and the gentle voice of the palace maid came: "Princess, the queen mother asked the queen mother if she was awake, and if she woke up, she would pass it to Shoukang Palace."
Meng Eqi was about to say something when Zhao Luan held his hand.
"The royal sister-in-law hasn't woken up yet. You go with your mother, and if you wake up, I'll take it there as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Seeing the palace maid retreat, Zhao Luan winked at Meng Qiqi: "Don't go now, you have just woken up, if the cold outside is agitated again, it may not be all right."
"Zhaoluan..." Meng Eqi wanted to thank you, but remembered that Zhaoluan just didn't want to hear thank you. In order to express her gratitude, Meng Eqi grabbed her hand and said, "Otherwise, I will help you see the pictures!"
"Ah?" This time it was Zhaoluan's turn to be stunned: "Sister Huang, do you still... fortune-telling?"
Meng Qiqi smiled embarrassedly: "I know a little about fur."
Anyway, the book of life and death has to be clear, she can just read it according to her memory.
"That's not as good as the marriage between me and Young Master Li." Zhaoluan smiled and waited for the answer.
Meng Qiqi was stunned, marriage? She really doesn't know this, so she has to ask the old man!
However, when Zhaoluan asked this question, Meng Eqi suddenly remembered something. The former palace maid Liu Lingyun's dead husband, Marquis Yingwu, had his own army and horses, and Sheng Jiayan also passed Li Yushu in the book as a general who would eventually lead troops to break through the imperial cities.
His soldiers... Wouldn't it start from Marquis Yingwu? !
"Zhaoluan, hurry up! I have something to tell the emperor! Oh no, the empress dowager can also! Bring me to see her!" Meng Qiqi grabbed Zhaoluan's hand excitedly, and the thoughts in her mind became clearer.
