Chapter 359: Take the initiative to ask for help
Empress Meng pinched her palm, ignoring the blood stains that slowly dripped from her palm, and asked in a low voice: "You brought me out on impulse, and on impulse to admit our relationship in front of those people...... But now you regret it, don't you?"
"......" Gongsun Xi was silent for a moment, and said lightly, "The prince of Ningwei Hou and the prince's wife, as well as the grandchildren of the Sheng family, managed to leave Chang'an City two days ago. β
The queen didn't expect him to answer like this, and she couldn't react for a while, so she only looked at him in a daze.
"Fang Cai Ning Wei Hou Shizi contacted Wuyi Ying and asked about the whereabouts of his father, Gongsun Shu. β
"Wuyi Ying found out that Gongsun Shu, Luan Yusi, Kang Gui, Shao Yan and other former high-level leaders of Tortoiseshell Island were all in Shanglin Yuan, under the command of Meng Guiyu. β
"The princess was not worried about Gongsun Shu, and asked the Wuyi camp to try to rescue her. β
"But except for me, who went to Shanglin Yuan with the king of the county to attend a banquet, almost no one else has ever stepped into it, so I don't know anything about the situation inside. β
"It was they who sent someone to spread the word and ask about the situation in Shanglin Yuan. β
"I think I've only been there once, so I'd better check with my mother. β
"......" Empress Meng pursed her lips for a while before she said astringently, "Shanglin Yuan, I've been there several times, and it's not very strange." But because when I went, I followed my aunt. My aunt is old and doesn't like to go far away. Probably a few palaces near Chunbo Lake take turns to live, so that one is familiar, and if there are other places, I am also black-eyed. β
Seeing that Gongsun Xi was silent, she thought for a while and asked, "You...... Well, do you want to know the way in and out of the Upper Forest Garden?"
"Not bad. Gongsun Xi bowed his head and said, "The biggest problem now is that Shanglin Yuan is heavily guarded and difficult to enter, let alone find out the traces of Gongsun Shu...... If you can enter it, Shanglin Yuan is vast, and it is impossible for the forbidden army to cover all of them, even if the path is not familiar, be careful, at most it is slower to find. β
Empress Meng thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "The prince of Ning Wei Hou just came out of Chang'an, do you know the news of my disappearance from the palace?"
Gongsun Xi shook his head and said, "At this time, Chang'an is staring at the Gaomi Palace...... up and down."
At this point, he realized something, and frowned, "You want to?"
"Shanglin Yuan is my cousin presiding over the forbidden army at this time, and my aunt is also over there. Empress Meng looked at him, "So, why don't you find a few people who they are looking at and send me over?"
She glanced down at her arm that was holding Shougong Sha, and said lightly, "And there is this evidence, I won't worry about explaining when I go back!"
"......" Gongsun Xi was silent for a while, and said, "Although the Queen Mother is your aunt, Meng Guiyu and her wolf ambitions, judging from the news brought out by the Ningwei Hou Shizi and their group, as well as the recent inquiries of the Wuyi Battalion, although you and him are both Meng's children, he may not have good intentions towards you." β
He thought for a moment, but finally said, "Your brother-in-law has committed treason. β
"What?" Empress Meng was stunned, and didn't react for a while which brother he was talking about?
"Meng Boqin, he brought his family and subordinates, and after a big fuss in Northern Xinjiang, he voted for Ruru. Gongsun Xi said, "This is the news I just received, and the new khan of Ruru, Na Fuzhen, was very happy and directly named him as Qi Lifa." It is said that he also married one of his granddaughters to Meng Boqin's eldest grandson to show his favor. β
"At this time, the Meng family can be said to have the Meng Guiyu brothers left to support the situation, you are the daughter of the big house, because of the matter of the concubine of the king of Guangling, the Meng Guiyu brothers have always had some knots in the big house...... The concubine of King Guangling was not long ago, and she went to the door at this time, one is not good, it is Meng Guiyu's punching bag!"
Empress Meng sat in a daze for a while before muttering, "So many things have happened outside these days?"
Her eyes were confused, but there was not much sadness, she had long been desperate for Meng, and she was bent on breaking free from Meng's control, and she sighed for a while, gathered her mind, and only asked, "What about my aunt?"
Seeing Gongsun Xi nodding, the queen sighed secretly and said, "Then I'll rest assured...... Although there are many people in the Meng family, there is not a single one who treats me sincerely! Although my aunt values the Meng family more than me, she already takes good care of me. Meng Shi is like this, and I have nothing to think about, but I am still worried about her...... She's fine. β
She thought for a while, and then said, "You oppose me going back to Lin Yuan, just because you are worried that Meng Guiyu will not be good for me. But don't say anything else, just say that my aunt is still there, even if Meng Guiyu plans to anger me, he always has to look at my aunt's face. The fourth room where he is located is the weakest room of my Meng clan's power, even if the other three rooms are gone now, the legacy is all his own, and it has only been a few days so far?
"I don't believe he dares not to take his aunt in his eyes at this time!"
"Besides, I have been allies with him before and have helped him, and he also knows that I may not have less resentment towards Dafang than he does. β
"Even if he doesn't remember this affection, he won't use me in the future. β
"After all, Your Majesty is old and has no children under his knees, and after this toss, it is impossible not to consider the issue of heirs in the future. β
"Meng Guiyu absolutely refuses to set up the eldest prince in the clan, he wants to set up a young master, so that it is convenient for him to seize power. And then my aunt is so old, does he still expect his aunt to raise him with a young master? How can I be his cousin, even if I don't have his own sister's affection, now that the Meng clan is gone, in his opinion, who else can I rely on except him? The eleventh sister has passed away, does he want the tenth sister to leave her husband's family and enter the palace to take care of the young master?!"
"So I'm going over now, I can't say that I'm playing into his arms!"
"It's a lot better than trying to sneak in and risk all sorts of dangers!"
He also said, "I formed an alliance with him before, just because I didn't want to be at the mercy of the Meng family for a lifetime, and I was unwilling to always ask Kang Zhao for help, thinking that maybe I could rely on my own plan to find a way out step by step!"
"Looking at it now, it's really a little naΓ―ve. β
"Because people like me who are either staying in the deep boudoir or staying in the deep palace have such a narrow vision, how can they play with Zheng Hou and those people?"
"Now that the Meng clan has been unexpectedly destroyed, although I escaped with you, I can't just forget the kindness of the past...... The son of Ningwei Hou, that is, the lord of Jiaxiang County, was ...... Together with Kang Zhao, they are all of great kindness to me. β
"In the past, I was made by others, and in addition to giving some rewards, I also gave no substantial rewards. β
"Now that the biological father of the county lord of Jiaxiang is trapped in Shanglin Yuan, isn't it my chance to repay my kindness?"
Gongsun Xi was silent for a while before he said, "If you go back to Shanglin Yuan, it will be difficult to come out again." β
He said very frankly, "I haven't recovered yet, and it will take a few days to fully recover." So this time the rescue of Gongsun Shu and others was presided over by others. They may not care about your safety, if it is difficult to take you and Gongsun Shu away at the same time, eighty percent will leave you and only take Gongsun Shu. β
After a pause, he said, "On the bank of Weishui that day, I said that you are my person, because I was afraid that they would be rude to you while I was sick. The Wuyi camp is from the sea, and the people in it are all lawless, and the county princess can suppress them, but the county princess may not. So if I don't say that, even if I mention your identity as the queen and your friendship with the princess of the county, I don't know if they will care!"
In fact, according to Gongsun Xi's understanding of those colleagues.
If they knew the identity of the queen, they would be more interested.
After all, for these traitors and murderers, sleeping with the queen is one of the noblest ideals in life.
As for what happens after you finish sleeping...... We'll talk about it then!
also had a special relationship between Gongsun Xi and Rong Sleeping Crane, and implied that he had a substantial relationship with the queen, and the group was afraid that Rong Sleeping Crane had always been partial to Gongsun Xi, so they gave up stupidly.
ββ¦β¦ Actually, I don't mind you saying that. When Empress Meng heard this, her heart was sour and astringent, and she said: What do you think of me? I hope for a while, I am desperate for a while, I think you are considerate for a while, and I think you are cruel for a while.
She suppressed her complicated mood and said lightly, "But in these extraordinary times, I don't think you have the heart to think about these things." It just so happens that I also hope to be able to do something for the county lord of Jiaxiang...... So let's not mention that. Let's talk about Shanglin Yuan, anyway, now that I'm here, it's almost a burden, in the way, it's better to go to Shanglin Yuan to accompany my aunt. β
"After all, a person like me who can't lift his hands and shoulders and can't resist, in this kind of chaotic days, stay here, you have to find someone to take care of and protect me!"
"Either you try to send me to a place like Kang Zhao that is willing to shelter me. β
"No matter what, it's a toss, just send me to Shanglin Yuan, the road is close, and I can also let Shanglin Yuan find me the palace people who are waiting for me and the forbidden army of the guards!"
"By the way, I can also find out the news and pass on information to you. β
Gongsun Xi frowned and said: "Meng Guiyu is a fine person, and it is not easy to do things under his hands. Even if he doesn't intend to embarrass you at first, if he finds out your motive for going back, he won't spare you!"
After a deep groan, he said, "You still draw the path to Shanglin Yuan that you know, and I'll show it to the others!"
"What's the use of that?" the queen disagreed, "Can you get in?" You just said that what you want is a path map for entering and exiting, and if you go in, it doesn't matter if you are unfamiliar!"
Her eyes were shining, and most of the depression and resentment she had been in the past few days had disappeared, and when she had only entered the palace after some recovery, she told Sheng Weiqiao about the excitement and yearning when Wangchun Palace could let herself be the master, "Meng Guiyu doesn't know our relationship, how could he never have imagined that I would help Wuyi Ying! Such a good opportunity for meritorious service, why should you let it go?"
Looking outside, his voice lowered, "Do you remember what Princess Gaomi said before? She said that I am a burden to you, and it will even affect the prince of Mizhen because of me! The princess thinks so, don't the people around the county king want to blame you more and more? At this time, I can help a little, and I can go back and plug the mouths of those people, right?"
ββ¦β¦ The county king will not pay attention to those people. Gongsun Xi said lightly, "My relationship with the county king is extraordinary, and he won't worry about some trivial matters." β
"Even if you don't care, why bother with your colleagues?" Empress Meng narrowed her eyes and said, "If you don't agree, I won't paint you the terrain of Shanglin Yuan that I know!"
Seeing that Gongsun Xi seemed to be about to say something, she snorted, "And even if no one is here at this time, someone will come over and ask you about my experience! I will guard here and never leave! When they come, I tell them myself, I don't believe it, they will not be tempted by such a ready-made way to send it to the door!"
