Chapter 293: Besieged

Gongsun Xi was actually very surprised that he would go back to Wangchun Palace, that day he noticed that something was wrong, and after leaving in a hurry, he followed him out of the palace with Meng Guiyu and acted separately.

Although King Gaomi fell short that night and retreated to Chang'an City, the palace was always in the hands of this prince.

Gongsun Xi didn't deliberately inquire about Empress Meng's whereabouts, because he felt that he wouldn't hear any good news, so it was better to simply pretend not to know...... He even thought a little melancholy, even if Rong Sleeping Crane ascended the throne in the future, after Sheng Wei Qiao, he became the new owner of Wangchun Palace, and he who had a close relationship with this couple, probably would not return to Wangchun Palace.

He thought that such feelings were a kind of sacrifice, and he was ready to seal all the memories of the palace.

So later, when he sneaked back to the palace for various reasons, when he contacted Ge Zhongpeng, he asked about the situation in the palace, and he didn't mention a word about Queen Meng...... Chang'an is in chaos now, he has a lot of business to do, and he can't think about feeling sadness and regret at all.

It was Ge Zhongpeng, after finishing the business, he told him with a smile: "The queen mother was a little frightened before, and she has been lying on the couch in Wangchun Palace for the past two days, and the palace maid next to her is still a little loyal, and she refuses to leave her alone at this time, and she goes to the Imperial Doctor's Office all day long to beg hard...... In the end, the old lady really had a soft heart to see it, and I watched it once. It's just that the Taiyi is the Taiyi in the end, and the best medicinal materials are used to it. ”

"In the past, the queen was the queen, with the queen mother protecting her above, and the Meng family supporting her outside, even if she was unhappy in front of the second concubine of the Shu family, no one dared to shorten her in such a thing. ”

"But now the situation is ...... Even if there are reserves in the palace treasury, who would dare to continue to give good things to the queen of the Meng clan before he knows the attitude of the prince?"

"No, the palace maid can only ask the old lady to change the prescription again, change it back and forth, the old lady doctor is a little impatient, and secondly, she is also worried about getting into trouble, so she hides and disappears. ”

“…… I don't know what happened to the master and servant in Wangchun Palace at this time?"

Gongsun Xi frowned when he heard this, and was a little displeased: "I just sent a letter to the queen mother on the order of the princess of the county!

"Why do we think too much?" Ge Zhongpeng looked at him inexplicably, "Our family said these things to you, which means that the princess of the county and the queen are close friends of the boudoir! At this time, the queen is not very good, if you don't care about anything, it doesn't matter if this lady can survive or not, let the princess of the county know, how can we not settle accounts with you? Although our family has never seen the princess of the county, we have long heard that the princess of the county is obedient to this princess of the county...... Even if you are quite trusted in front of the king, are you sure you want to offend her?"

Gongsun Xi: "......"

He calmed down and said, "Father-in-law, how can I take care of this matter? I don't even dare to show my face in public in this palace." If you want to take care of the queen for the princess of the county, why should I ask you for a hand?"

Ge Zhongpeng laughed and said: "My Sheng Ye! Although King Gaomi's focus is not in the palace at this time, and it doesn't seem to be aimed at the queen's mother, but believe it or not, as long as our family orders the people below to take care of Wangchun Palace, the people around the prince will come to the door to accompany our family to have tea, and by the way, let our family explain, why should we treat the Meng family well? At that time, how do you say our family will answer?

"......" Gongsun Xi was speechless for a while, and said, "So what does Gonggong mean?"

"Of course you quietly sent things over!" Ge Zhongpeng said, taking out a large package from behind him as if he was juggling, and pushed it in front of him with a smile, "Well, medicinal herbs, food, and things to cool off...... Although the queen mother was not favored when she was in her mother's house, she was the daughter of the Meng family in the end, and she also grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, so she couldn't stand tossing! If she hadn't picked her confidant palace maid and had a little eyesight these days, she would have been unable to hold it for a long time!"

"Rao is like this, without these things, the master and servant will just stay up for a few more days!"

"If you want to explain to the princess, it's best to send it over tonight...... Don't worry about the guards of Wangchun Palace, the people of the Meng clan have long been wiped out by King Gaomi!

Ge Zhongpeng took a leisurely sip of tea in the cup, "Well, I can't think of other instructions for the time being, do you want to do it, how do you do it...... Think for yourself!"

Gongsun Xi hesitated for a while, then finally stood up, took the package, and walked out without saying a word.

After he left, a little chamberlain walked in to pack up the tea, and asked Ge Zhongpeng curiously: "Father-in-law, do you plan to match this with the queen?"

"What nonsense is a child talking about?" Ge Zhongpeng scolded with a smile, "Our family has been in the palace for so many years, when have you ever done the errand of the matchmaker?" Tong Sheng Xi said the truth, but I was afraid that the queen mother did not die in the hands of King Gaomi, but fell under the nose of our family, and the princess of Huitou County knew that she was angry with our family, and there was no other suitable manpower around her at this time, so she just sent him to run an errand!"

"Father-in-law, the child looks at that Sheng Xi refuses to admit it, but between his words and deeds, he has some meaning to the queen's mother?" asked with a smile, "Since you didn't match their ideas, send Sheng Xi to send charcoal in the snow at this time, in case you can't help but send something...... This?"

Ge Zhongpeng said disapprerovingly: "Who doesn't know what's going on with our current queen mother? When the Meng clan was still in its heyday, she was still a widow! At this time, Zheng Hou was nowhere to be found, even if her half-brother was a hussar general, but the two brothers and sisters had not been together for many years, and they were not the same mother, so it is estimated that they did not have much affection. Even if Meng Boqin has any achievements in the future, she may not get much light!"

"Why is Sheng Xi the henchman of the king of the county, I don't know how much better the future is better than that queen, what does it matter if the young man is occasionally romantic?

He said indifferently, "Our family has seen a lot of pickled things in this palace in the past few decades, and there are not many of them in the huge palace city, and there are not many of them, so let them go by themselves! As long as they can use this matter in the future, and sell it well with the princess of the same county, our family's purpose will be achieved!"

Although he is a person left by the first emperor and an old senior in the palace, he is less than sixty this year, and he is old and strong, but he is still ambitious, and he hopes to go further after Rong Sleeping Crane Dingding.

Then Sheng Weiqiao, the concubine who allowed the sleeping crane and the future master of the harem, naturally had to start currying favor in advance.

…… Gongsun Xi didn't know Ge Zhongpeng's thoughts, and he didn't have time to think about whether Ge Zhongpeng's move had any deep meaning, just thinking about what to say after seeing the queen?

After all, he clearly realized that the situation was wrong that night, and misunderstood that Ge Zhongpeng betrayed Rong Sleeping Crane, but he left the queen and left, and even escorted Meng Guiyu's brothers out of the imperial city, but he didn't even report the news to the queen...... If he had been given another chance, he would have done it.

It's just that when I thought of presenting Sheng Weiqiao's handwritten letterhead to Queen Meng, I didn't know why, and I was always a little empty.

In the end, he decided to quietly put down his things and leave, without meeting the queen's master and servant.

However, after arriving at Wangchun Palace, Gongsun Xi found that his plan had failed.

It wasn't that Empress Meng or Chunlai happened to block him, but that he had just stepped into the main hall of Wangchun Palace and noticed that something was wrong: the quiet here didn't look like someone at all.

"Someone" means a living person.

Gongsun Xi's heart sank, threw down the package, kicked open the door of the dormitory, and sure enough, there were two Bai Ling tied on the beam, Queen Meng and the palace maid Chunlai, one for each person, hung themselves high, and the ground was a toppled embroidered stool.

His pupils contracted suddenly, and he was about to step forward to untie the two of them to check the situation, when there was a sudden sound of hurried and heavy footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a shout of "Go to a group of people to watch the back window, he can't run"!

When Gongsun Xi fell into a heavy encirclement and the situation was precarious, in the northern Xinjiang, Sheng Weiqiao watched the nurse carry her crying son out of the house, and once again showed the expression of the rest of her life.

This made Xuan Yu Feng next to him feel incredible: "If it weren't for the fact that this child was watched by me and fell to the ground, he never left the yard from beginning to end, and there was no possibility of being transferred, I would have suspected that he was not your own...... Why is it okay for anyone to hold it, but you have to cry as soon as you start it?"

Sheng Weiqiao said depressedly: "I was about to ask my aunt! I cried when I hugged him the first two times, but you said that my gesture was wrong and made him uncomfortable." Another time he cried, it was because I saw him as strange and cute, pinched his face, and used some strength not to be careful. I'm being cautious and cautious today, and I'm trying to learn how to be a nurse with my gestures...... Why is he still crying?!"

“…… Forget it, just cry, children grow up quickly anyway. Xuan Yu Feng pondered for a while, refusing to admit that because he only had one biological son, he was not very experienced in parenting, and he couldn't explain his nephew's thoughts, so he said vaguely, "After a while, he will grow up and be sensible, knowing that you are his mother, it will definitely not be like this!"

As for saying that before this child grows up, what if he continues to cry when he touches Sheng Weiqiao's hand?

Xuan Yu Feng waved his hand: "What are so many mothers-in-law and maids and nurses for? There are more people holding children, not only you!

Sheng Weiqiao: "......"

She said weakly, "No matter how many people hold the child, I am his mother!"

"The child doesn't know at this time!" Xuan Yu Feng persuaded, "When he grows up and remembers, won't you just hug him every day?"

Sheng Weiqiao looked at her suspiciously: "Auntie, you shouldn't have treated your cousin like this in the first place, right?"

"You think I'm you!" Xuan Yu glanced at her at Feng, "so untreated by his own son...... Your cousin didn't say that he would cry when he touched my hand!"

"That's not necessarily!" Sheng Weiqiao was unconvinced, "I wasn't born when my cousin landed! At this time, my grandfather and grandmother, my father and my mother are not there, you are lying to me, and I can't refute it!"

Xuan Yu Feng was about to speak, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and the big master Wu rushed in almost with a gust of wind, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy and relief that could not be concealed: "Old lady, princess of the county, let the idlers avoid it, someone important is coming!"

The aunt and nephew were stunned when they heard this, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but when the words came to their mouths, they suddenly thought of a possibility, and exclaimed in unison: "Could it be!?"

Before the words fell, someone outside the door strode in, and said as he walked: "This is a mansion specially designed to house the princess of the county, and there are still any idlers who need to be avoided?
