Meng Li brought a group of ministers, Weixing Lin, Zhang Ningyun, and a bunch of guards and servants to Nanshan Temple.
The abbot of Nanshan Temple came to receive him. Meng Li took the lead in offering a stick of incense and then promised to donate some sesame oil money to Nanshan Temple.
Then he arrived in front of the Queen Mother's door.
The Supreme Empress was really putting on airs and did not come out during the whole process.
Meng Li stood in front of the door. The weather was already hot and the sun was shining brightly. She shouted inside:
"Mother, I'm here to take you back to the palace."
The Supreme Queen's expression changed inside, she snorted, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The female officer next to her hesitated and said that she was going to open the door for Meng Li.
The Supreme Empress did not speak, her expression remained arrogant. The female officer understood the Supreme Empress after all, so she went to open the door.
"Your Majesty." The female officer saluted Meng Li.
Meng Li hummed and said to Weixing Lin:
"Take good care of your concubine."
Zhang Ningyun raised her head, looked at Meng Li, and then at Weixing Lin.
Weixinglin agreed without a moment's hesitation and glanced down at Zhang Ningyun.
Meng Li entered the room, and the female officer stepped out, leaving only Meng Li and the Supreme Empress.
"I thought that Your Majesty was going to deal with this lonely man." The Queen felt very unhappy.
They didn't even look back at Meng Li.
Meng Li said:
"Mother Queen, my daughter has grown up. She should take on some responsibilities. It is her daughter's long-cherished wish to let the Queen Mother live a carefree life."
The Queen snorted.
That sounds nice.
"Then leave Gu alone in Nanshan Temple. Now I have nothing else to contribute, so pray for the Zhang family day and night." She said angrily.
Meng Li folded his hands together and looked at the back of the Supreme Empress with eyes as calm as water.
"Mother, my daughter really wants to ask you to go back. Only with the mother by your side can my daughter feel at ease." Meng Li said seriously.
To be honest, Meng Li wasn't very good at coaxing people.
But the Queen was really angry with her.
She will comfort those who run away in anger, there is nothing wrong with them.
The Supreme Empress remained silent and did not want to pay attention to Meng Li.
In short, what Meng Li said could not move the Supreme Empress, and her anger did not go away.
Weixinglin saw Meng Li go in for a while, and thought of the instructions Meng Li gave him in the carriage.
Meng Li had already arranged for Weixing Lin to go in for a while and then just let the ministers shout outside.
This makes it appear that everyone is very much looking forward to the Queen's return to the palace.
He began to encourage the ministers to ask the Queen to return to the palace.
Therefore, the silence between Meng Li and the Supreme Empress was broken by the shouts of a group of ministers.
"Please return to the palace, please return to the palace. Please return to the palace..."
The Supreme Queen finally turned her head and looked at Meng Li standing behind her. Meng Li bowed his hands and bowed to the Supreme Queen and said:
"Please return to the palace."
The Supreme Queen snorted and called out the name of the female officer who was serving her. The female officer opened the door from the outside. The Supreme Queen walked to the door and saw people kneeling outside, all begging her to return to the palace.
Kneeling in front of them were Queen Feng and Zhang Ningyun.
Zhang Ningyun raised her head, looked at the Supreme Queen and said:
"Royal Grandmother, let's go back to the palace."
The Supreme Queen moved her lips, and everyone also asked the Supreme Queen. They had gained enough face. The Supreme Queen declined at first, saying that she was doing well in Nanshan Temple and wanted to pray for the world.
Of course, he just sighed a few times and agreed as if he was serving the country and the people.
But it was no longer suitable to set off today, so Meng Li said he would stay overnight at Nanshan Temple and start again tomorrow.
Anyway, Meng Li is the queen, so no one would object to something as trivial as staying out for one night.
Let the ministers move freely. There is a large forest behind Nanshan Temple where you can also play around.
Since it was in the temple, everyone came, and most of the ministers went to ask for fortune-telling.
Meng Li was embarrassed to stay with the Queen, so he stayed in the room arranged by the abbot.
The bright moon is by your side.
Meng Li asked:
"Where's the concubine?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness is in the back mountain."
Meng Li groaned and tapped his fingers regularly on the table.
I don’t know if this is a good opportunity.
The Queen and the ministers are all here, and there are so many monks in the temple.
And the news spreads faster this way, even if you want to block it, you can't block it.
Meng Li asked Mingyue to tell the abbot that he would prepare a fast meal and that everyone would eat together tomorrow morning.
It's a dinner party.
Mingyue complied, and the Supreme Queen had no objection after learning about it. It was a sign of respect for the gods and Buddhas to lead the ministers to eat fast together.
The next morning, everyone was there.
Meng Li deliberately arranged for Zhang Ningyun to sit next to him.
This table is very large and is usually used by monks to eat together. It can naturally accommodate Meng Li and his group.
To be honest, many people will never have the opportunity to sit at the same table with the Queen and the Empress, so I was still a little nervous.
Meng Li asked everyone to relax and eat.
Meng Li was very careful about everything he ate, checking to see if it was poisonous.
But what makes Meng Li regretful is that she had already given the opportunity to Zhang Ningyun, but Zhang Ningyun did not seize the opportunity.
Meng Li finished his fasting meal but didn't eat anything with any added ingredients.
He glanced at Zhang Ningyun next to him. He was still restless next to Meng Li. He didn't know what was going on in his head. His eyes were wandering. He had an inexplicable and strange temperament.
Meng Li almost wanted to call him mentally retarded.
If she wanted to poison someone, this would be the perfect opportunity. There were so many people out there, it would not be easy to find the person who poisoned her.
But in the palace, the scope is narrowed, making it easier to investigate.
Zhang Ningyun didn't know how to seize the opportunity, which made Meng Li speechless. Fortunately, she came out with so many people.
On the one hand, it is to earn face for the Supreme Empress, and on the other hand, it still wants so many people to witness Zhang Ningyun's crime.
Leaves people speechless.
When things happen in the palace, they are always filled with a lot of mystery, and people always feel that there is another truth.
Meng Li was speechless and could only bring this group of people back to the imperial city.
After the Supreme Queen returned to the palace, Meng Li had a talk with the Supreme Queen. His words were subtle, but the meaning was actually very clear.
Just let the Supreme Queen take good care of herself in the palace, relax, and stop worrying so much until the country's life and death is at stake. She will definitely give the Supreme Queen an extremely dignified old age.
But if the Queen insists on interfering too much in big and small matters and acts very forcefully, she may ruin the relationship between mother and daughter.
Faced with these words, although the Supreme Queen was angry, she also felt that it was expected.
Sigh, it depends on whether you can think too hard or not.
Logically speaking, as you get older, you should worry less. You don’t know how long you will live, so what’s the use of fighting so much
The key point is that it is not necessarily possible to win. The Queen's wings have become hard, and she should have thought of it long ago. These are all things that happened sooner or later.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
