Nan's heart was so anxious that now, in her opinion, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who was most involved, was not in a hurry and calmly calmed down--in addition to secretly scolding the "little thing without conscience", he also laughed a little angrily, put the tea bowl he had just picked up back on the table, and sneered: "I am really a villain again and again today! Since you think this is not a big deal, I will naturally not continue to dislike people!"

"Auntie, don't be angry!" Sheng Weiqiao knew that she was thinking about her own brothers and sisters, and also for the Sheng family, so although she was ruthlessly counted, she was not angry, and she ignored Sheng Sleeping Crane at this time, and hurriedly smiled and comforted her, "I know that you are all for our good, but today's response in front of the Queen Mother is really not what I want, it is carefully considered!

Seeing that Nan still had a cold face and didn't speak, she looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane for help, and when she received Sheng Sleeping Crane's eyes, she coughed dryly and continued, "Originally, although I didn't see that the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Wuyang didn't plan to mention the seven-day covenant today, but I didn't think about taking the initiative to admonish. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 But later, after the county lord Jingshu arrived, when I heard her talk to the Queen Mother about this, the Queen Mother deliberately looked at the palace to the west, and her eyes seemed to be suspicious and resentful!"

Although at the request of Sheng Sleeping Crane just now, Sheng Weiqiao told them how they entered the palace today, but considering that the Nan family was excited, of course Sheng Weiqiao could not go into a long and detailed speech, but only gave a general outline.

Regarding Empress Dowager Meng's suspicion of the Shu sisters, she had not described it before, which made the Nan clan slightly shocked when she heard this, and said, "There is still such a thing?"

"Auntie has a dignified demeanor, let's sit under the danqi together, your eyes are always slightly drooping, so I didn't see it. Sheng Weiqiao explained, "But because I was curious about the county lord of Jingshu, I quietly looked up several times, and found that since the county lord of Jingshu mentioned the matter of Bishui County, the queen mother has been looking at the west, and her expression is very complicated!

Nan's face turned pale, and he said: "You have discovered this, and you still have to wade into this troubled water?! Do you know that although those two Shu Niangniang have been out of the way for many years, with the favor of the Son of Heaven for them, even the Queen Mother can't prevent them from being divided into three points!!?!

"Auntie, it is precisely because of the two Shu Niangniang's favors that the Empress Dowager has given them three points, so even if the Empress Dowager suspects them, it is the same as the case of the disappearance of Duke Huan back then, and there is nothing to be done about them!" Sheng Weiqiao said with a straight face, "But neither Meng Boheng nor that little prince is an ordinary person! With the identities of these two, there is such a big fork, and the imperial court has sent them to Bishui County, if there is no one to come out, where will the face of the imperial court be? Where is the majesty of the Meng family and the Gaomi Palace?!"

Nan was stunned for a moment, and his expression became solemn: Indeed, with the identities of Meng Boheng and Rong Qingdrunk, one disappeared and one was seriously injured in Bishui County, if it was not resolved in the end, the prestige of the imperial court would definitely be gone!

Therefore, the court will never allow this to happen!

The problem is that the Shu sisters suspected by the Empress Dowager Meng have always been deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, and Huan Guanlan's favor to the Empress Dowager Meng's mother and son is well known to the world, and it can even be said that without Huan Guanlan's protection, Emperor Xuanjing would not be able to practice Zuo at all - such a great merit, such a deep favor, the Son of Heaven is still unwilling to dispose of the Shu sisters in order to avenge him.

What's more, Meng Boheng and Rong Qingdrunk, who had an accident this time, although they have a close blood relationship with the Son of Heaven, they have never met with the Son of Heaven at all, let alone have feelings?

Although Emperor Xuanjing didn't ask about the government for a long time, after all, he was the son of heaven of the Damu Dynasty and the master of the world.

He wants to protect the Shu sisters, even if the Empress Dowager Meng is his own mother, there is nothing to be done - this has been verified as early as twelve years ago when Huan Guanlan disappeared - I think it is also for this reason, now the Meng family and the king of Gaomi are attacking each other, accusing each other of being the culprit, but they tacitly did not mention the Shu sisters.

After all, before the two sisters were moved, they first shouted out their suspicions, and in the end, once they were gone, they raised the arrogance of the sisters in vain and weakened the voice of the court.

So regardless of whether the real culprits are the Shu sisters or not, the Meng family and King Gaomi are unwilling to continue fighting like this - although they are political enemies, they are not overwhelmed by each other's grasp now, and there is no point in continuing to entangle.

However, just like Sheng Weiqiao said, the matter of Bishui County must have a result that can be explained to the people of the world to prove the majesty of the Damu court!

Twelve years ago, Huan Guanlan's disappearance was made by the bandits as scapegoats.

But it was precisely because of the fact that the imperial court sent sailors to sweep away the bandits near Bishui County under the guise of "avenging the Huan Gong", which led to the left of Bishui County, and it is refreshing until today, not to mention serious pirates, and there are not even few bandits who work part-time as fishermen!

So this time, it is impossible to drag the bandits out of the top tank - and with the identities of Meng Boheng and Rong Qingdrunk, plus the old mansion of the Huan family who had an accident again, such a lineup, it is impossible to say that a few people with no names and surnames can be caught as the culprits, right?

That would not be to maintain the dignity of the imperial court, but to make the imperial court laugh for the world!

"The Meng clan and the Gaomi King will definitely not let themselves and the people on their side bear this charge!" Nan thought quickly in his heart, "The Shu sisters are protected by the Son of Heaven, and both the Meng clan and the Gaomi King are afraid of forcing them into the other party's camp, so they don't even mention them! The only ones who are most likely to be cheated are those who have not taken refuge in the Meng clan or the Gaomi King......"

Thinking of this, her heart was awe-inspiring, Ningwei Hou Mansion was one of these people!

And because the two parties in the court have been opposed for a long time, almost all the high-ranking and powerful ministers have a choice, and the Ningwei Marquis Mansion is actually a more eye-catching among the courtiers who have not chosen!

In other words, if it weren't for Sheng Weiqiao's advice in front of the Queen Mother today, the matter of Bishui County might fall on the head of Ning Weihou's Mansion one day!

After all, for the Meng family and King Gaomi, this not only ended the matter of Bishui County and maintained the dignity of the imperial court, but also severely warned those who had not yet chosen how naΓ―ve and dangerous it was to stay out of the matter!

――As for the sacrificed Ningwei Hou Mansion, how innocent and wronged it is, whether it is the Meng family or the King of Gaomi, will they care?

Nan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "So, instead of letting this court fight involve innocents in the end, it is better to cause trouble and push it on Ruru's head?!"

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao nodding vigorously, Nan's eyes were extremely complicated, his eyes roamed back and forth between her and Sheng Sleeping Crane for a long time, and he smiled bitterly and muttered the words that Xu Zijing said a few days ago, "The future is terrifying!"

She really thought the brother and sister were terrible.

Although she had not been rude to quietly raise her head to peep at the Queen Mother's expression because she had met the nobles many times just now, she was unable to discover the Queen Mother's suspicion of the Shu sisters from the Queen Mother's subconscious expression and demeanor - but Nan knew that even if she found out about this, she might not have the courage to seize the opportunity of Huan Yehe to mention the seven-day covenant in the next step and target Ruru!

The reason is very simple, the conditions given by the Queen Mother are so good, far more than her most optimistic imagination before entering the palace, why do you have to take the risk of interfering in Mingli involving the Meng family and King Gaomi, and secretly affecting the Shu sisters and the neutral faction.

But Sheng Weiqiao did it decisively!

And the reason why this girl was able to wade through the troubled waters this time was mainly because she had Sheng Sleeping Crane behind the scenes to refer to her - after all, Sheng Weiqiao herself couldn't think of the idea of dragging Ruru out as a target!

Nan's heart is mixed now, and he doesn't know whether to praise her for making a quick decision, or should she be too speculative?

After settling down, she asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that this matter will not turn into a bad thing?"

"Sure. Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Sheng Sleeping Crane when he said this, then turned his head and continued to tell the Nan family, "The matter of Bishui County, from the perspective of the entire imperial court, must be resolved as quickly as possible, so as to show the strength and authority of the imperial court! ”

After all, whether it is the Meng family, the King of Gaomi or the Queen Mother, their power and status are all based on the approval of them by the court.

If the current imperial court loses the trust of the people of the world, it will also be a huge damage to their interests.

"The problem is that the Meng clan and the Gaomi King have been facing each other for many years, and they have always been evenly matched, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. ”

"It's just that the two sisters-in-law who had an accident this time are all in charge, not to mention that they can't swallow this breath emotionally, and it's impossible to give up for the sake of face!"

――As a leader, he can't even protect his own son, and he can't get justice if something happens, so how can he serve the public?

"It's been a month since the matter of Bishui County, and I estimate that whether it's the Meng family, King Gaomi, or even the Queen Mother, it's actually a bit difficult to ride a tiger. ”

In this case, suspecting that Ru Ru is the real murderer is equivalent to handing them a ladder. I'm 80% sure that they'll take advantage of this to step down!"

Speaking of this, Sheng Weiqiao stretched out his hand to hold Nan's arm and said coquettishly, "If there are no more variables than two percent, I will ask my aunt and uncle to help and persuade your two courtiers who are familiar with each other to promote this matter!"

Nan scolded with a smile: "Are you making fun of me as a three-year-old child? When I can't hear it, this is an opportunity to give me a favor with your uncle!"

Although she didn't know if any of the courtiers who were currently as neutral as the Ningwei Marquis Mansion realized that if the real culprit of the Bishui County incident could not be found, it was their faction that was most likely unlucky. But even if these people didn't expect it, Xu Zijing and his wife would come to remind them, and they would react.

In this way, it is not Xu Zijing and his wife who come to the door to beg for help, but these people owe Ning Weihou Mansion a favor!

However, the Nan clan was moved by Sheng Weiqiao's hatred for ignoring Xu Caikui's expulsion order in public, and at this time, he did not forget to let the Ningwei Hou Mansion shine, and worried: "But your brothers and sisters are too young, and they have been in Nanfeng County before, and they have no reputation......!

"Auntie is really concerned about it!" At this time, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who had been smiling silently, said slowly, "It is precisely because of the incident in Bishui County that there is no result today, as long as the imperial court decides to accept the suggestion to designate the culprit as Ruru, then my aunt thinks that many people, including the imperial court, have been suppressed by an ordinary scholar, or have they found a young man and brilliance?"

Sheng Weiqiao raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, and snickered beside him: "Although Jinshi is rare, but there is a list every three years, and there are a lot of people in the whole country! In the eyes of Gaomen, ordinary Jinshi is nothing! So if they want not to be ashamed, unless their brother is ranked first, or even the top student in high school-my brother has already taken the first place in the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, and the township examination is also Xie Yuan, if he can try the palace examination and win the championship, it is the six yuan of the ancients!" In this way, even if it is a court envoy, losing to an elder brother at this age is not stupid, it can only be said that it is a talent of fate!"

When Nan heard this, he couldn't speak for a long time, and only after a while did he pat the back of Sheng Weiqiao's hand and sighed, "I know!"

After a pause, she looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane with complicated eyes and said, "The matter of Northern Xinjiang...... I'll talk to your uncle when I go back, don't worry!"

Sheng Sleeping Crane was inexplicable: "What does Auntie mean by this?"

Nan thought that he didn't want Sheng Weiqiao to know that he was already paying attention to military power, so he didn't continue when he heard this, but said: "It's nothing, let's discuss it and look for you later!"

Sheng Sleeping Crane heard that she seemed to have misunderstood something, but in front of Sheng Weiqiao, he thought about it and didn't ask, only lifted the curtain and looked outside, and said with a smile: "Auntie, we are almost here, it's time to go back to our car and say goodbye!"
