The emperor was always outside, and no one came to court. Everyone had to go to the palace to find Meng Li for big or small matters, forming a small court.
Although some people were unwilling to come because they couldn't stand the Queen Mother controlling the government, they could not find the Emperor when something happened, which was very convenient. They looked at Meng Li with a dark face and always spoke with insinuations.
Meng Li didn't care much. He was unhappy and helpless and could only express his dissatisfaction in words.
It's not like she's missing a piece of meat.
It's not that she is really power-hungry, it's just that she was forced to do this.
If the emperor was a wise king, would she have a chance
The queen was taken to his palace by Meng Li, and Meng Li was the one who worried about food and clothing, fearing that someone in the palace would not be able to see through it and tamper with her.
Meng Li didn't want the child he finally got to be murdered.
He called all the concubines in the palace and beat him, which made the queen feel flattered.
Meng Li took the initiative to take the queen into his palace to raise the fetus, which made Tang Xin unhappy when she returned to the palace later.
Zhan Yuancheng was not willing to let Tang Xin suffer a little injustice, so he directly went to Meng Li and asked:
"Didn't I say that the queen should be grounded and not allowed to come out without my order?"
Meng Li sat above and said to Zhan Yuancheng:
"It's probably been a few months since the Emperor went out after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's already winter, and the fetus in the Queen's belly is already a few months old."
Zhan Yuancheng frowned:
"Mother, you are answering an incorrect question."
Meng Li looked at Zhan Yuancheng calmly:
"After all, she is your married couple, and she is pregnant with your child. Do you still want to continue to ground her and treat her like this?"
Can it be more scummy
The woman you love is like the bright moon in the sky, and the life of the woman you don't like is like a piece of grass.
Zhan Yuancheng was silent for a moment and said:
"Mother, you know clearly that I don't want to do that. She is plotting against me."
Meng Li asked:
"So what?"
Zhan Yuancheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Meng Li's face carefully. Now this familiar face had an unfamiliar expression.
She is completely different from the gentle and kind mother she once was.
"This child should not have been born." Zhan Yuancheng's attitude became tougher.
Meng Li looked at Zhan Yuancheng indifferently:
"The emperor must kill his own flesh and blood with his own hands?"
Zhan Yuancheng:
"It was just an accident."
Meng Li almost laughed angrily, and she said:
"The Ai family must have this child, Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything more."
Facing Meng Li's strength, Zhan Yuancheng felt a little irritable and said:
"Queen mother, I am the emperor."
Meng Li nodded:
"I know."
"No one in the world dares to disobey my words." Zhan Yuancheng glared at Meng Li. He used to be around Tang Xin and didn't have the aura of a king at all, but now, he does have some of it.
Meng Li stopped talking and looked at Zhan Yuancheng quietly. Zhan Yuancheng said again:
"If the Queen Mother is willing to hand over the person today, I will let the past go."
Meng Li looked as usual and said nothing.
Zhan Yuancheng said again:
"Isn't it because the queen mother doesn't want to speak?"
Meng Li nodded slightly and looked into Zhan Yuancheng's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Yuancheng couldn't even tolerate this child. Was it Zhan Yuancheng or Tang Xin
Meng Li now acted like he wouldn't make friends with you no matter what you say, which made Zhan Yuancheng's chest rise and fall, and he said with anger on his face:
"Is the queen really determined to do this?"
Meng Li nodded, and Zhan Yuancheng's veins bulged on the back of his hands. He flicked his sleeves one last time and stepped out.
As soon as Zhan Yuancheng left, the queen rushed out from behind the screen and threw herself to the ground:
"Aunt, Queen Mother, please, please ask for my concubine."
Her words were a little incoherent. Meng Li felt that the queen was also a pitiful person, so he helped the queen up with some pity and said:
"I said I would take care of you, and I will take care of you. Don't worry too much, it's not good for the child."
Meng Li was still a little worried that there would be something wrong with the child, after all, both parents were related by blood.
But Queen Que has been worried all day long, and is now scared to death. Being too emotional is not good for her children and her health.
The queen looked at Meng Li in panic, with tears streaming down her face. She still had the demeanor of the mother of a country. She looked like a frightened deer, looking pitiful. She said:
"Mother, I am a concubine, I am a concubine..."
She wanted to say that the emperor's heart was harder than iron, she wanted to accuse the emperor, she wanted to scold the emperor, but the woman in front of her was the emperor's own mother.
There is no place to complain for all kinds of suffering.
Meng Li looked at the queen, probably because he would never get Zhan Yuancheng's love in this life. No matter whether Zhan Yuancheng was good or bad, he would never love the queen.
Nor will he get any good from him.
It's just that at such a young age, he will die alone in the palace.
It's okay if you can figure it out, but it's very uncomfortable if you can't.
The next day Zhan Yuancheng brought Tang Xin and others directly to Mengli Palace, intending to take the queen with him by force.
The queen followed Meng Li step by step, her face full of anxiety. She wore more clothes in winter and the month was not early, so she didn't show her pregnancy, but she hugged her belly nervously.
When they left the hall, Meng Li looked around Zhan Yuancheng, and Tang Xin was standing next to him.
There were many people following behind, and Zhan Yuancheng and Meng Li were confronting each other.
"Mother, please hand over the Queen." He said with a cold face.
Meng Li shook his head:
"No."
Zhan Yuancheng looked at the queen and said:
"come here."
The queen hid behind Meng Li. Zhan Yuancheng's face became darker and he said:
"Don't you think you need to pay the price for scheming against me?"
"If you are sensible and don't want to embarrass your mother, just come here by yourself."
The queen called softly:
"Queen mother..."
Her white hands tightly grasped Meng Li's sleeves, trembling a little.
Tang Xin was a little impatient, and she said calmly:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything. Just ask someone to take it down."
Meng Li looked at Tang Xin:
"You little concubine, is it your turn to speak here?"
Tang Xin and Zhan Yuancheng were both stunned at the same time, especially Tang Xin. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother, who had been polite to her in the past, suddenly turned against her.
Zhan Yuancheng shouted loudly:
"Mother!"
Meng Li said to Tang Xin:
"There is no distinction between honor and inferiority. You will not be polite when you see the queen, and you will not be polite when you see the Ai family. If you really think that the emperor loves you, can you ignore the etiquette left by your ancestors?"
Tang Xin looked at Zhan Yuancheng and said directly:
"I don't like people talking to me like this."
Zhan Yuancheng said:
"Mother, please stop talking. Everything Concubine Tang does is with my permission."
Meng Li said:
"Your Majesty, you allowed it, but the Ai family didn't. You can ask Tang Xin not to salute you, but the Ai family wants it."
Zhan Yuancheng didn't understand why Tang Xin was involved when he was clearly going to take the queen away. He said unhappily:
"Mother, you may not be in a good mood. Let someone take you to the palace to rest."
He glanced at the person next to him. The person next to him hesitated, but still walked towards Meng Li. Meng Li scolded:
"Let's see who dares to touch the Ai family today!"
Meng Li took out the Imperial Guard Talisman in his hand and shouted:
"Come here, listen to the order!"
