Gongsun Xi's eyes froze, and the hands hanging on his sides also subconsciously clenched his fists, but quickly calmed down: "I don't understand what Niangniang means, and I have never been to the palace where Xiao Wen's family lives!"

"You think I'm lying to you?" Empress Meng raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Although I am just a pawn of the Meng Clan, I have a bearing on their future in the future. In particular, His Majesty favors the Shu sisters, and it took a lot of effort for His Majesty to reluctantly agree to me to enter this Wangchun Palace! Once I have a three-year-old and two-short, even if there is still a group of nieces waiting for me at home, His Majesty will not agree to toss like this again. With the important news, the Meng clan may not tell me, let alone care about my thoughts, but the guards of the Wangchun Palace, they are very careful!"

The queen raised her arm and pointed in the direction of the palace gate, "The commander you saw on the first day of your arrival as a guard was my third brother, that is, the prince of Zheng Guogong and the hussar general Meng Boqin personally selected and trained in northern Xinjiang.

"It's just that even if there is a chronic illness in the body, the martial arts have been discounted a little, but the eyesight and the city government have not been left behind!"

"You are a close servant of Mizhen, and since you came to Wangchun Palace, he has been staring at you very closely. ”

"So you think that the few guards on duty with you are so useless that the martial arts are commonplace, and the guards of my Wangchun Palace are so useless?"

"That's deliberately arranged by someone to paralyze you!"

"The real masters are all staring at you in private, just to know if you will run around while you are my guard, or do something unfavorable to the Meng clan!"

When Empress Meng said this, her expression was a little bitter, "I really didn't expect it...... I really want to help you avoid trouble, but who knows, it's hurting you!"

"Since Niangniang has determined that the lowly position is the so-called little prince, why don't you hand over the lowly position to Zheng Guogong for disposal?" Gongsun Xi listened silently, and the murderous intent suddenly rose in the middle, and he had the urge to kill the queen and escape, but thinking about it, this move would inevitably drag down Rong Sleepy Crane, and Wangchun Palace, as the dormitory of the queens of the previous dynasties, was not as close to the corner of the imperial city as the cold palace.

This place is located in the authentic deep palace, and there are many temples blocking the way on all sides.

Even if Gongsun Xi was born as a bandit and was proficient in assassination and lurking, if he killed the queen, he would not be sure to escape from here.

He thought for a moment, decided to wait and see, and then tentatively asked, "Why do you have to force your humble position to admit such a ridiculous thing?"

“…… You are my savior. Empress Meng smiled bitterly when she heard this, and after a long sigh, she said in a low voice, "And I will never do anything to take revenge!"

Gongsun Xi said expressionlessly: "That day, I jumped into the lake to save people by the order of the county king, and the county king was worried about the county lord Kangzhao. ”

He saved the queen only by the way, after all, Sheng Weiqiao had already been rescued by Gongsun Yingjiang at that time, and Gongsun Yingjiang had no accidents during the entire rescue process, and it was very easy to drag the tip of his family's leader's heart to Tingzhou. Heng and Zhu jumped into the lake, and Rong Sleeping Crane never showed his dislike for Queen Meng, so he also dragged the queen to Tingzhou.

Speaking of which, although he and Gongsun Yingjiang reacted the fastest and entered the water the earliest that day, the sailors on the dragon boats next to them also jumped into the lake. In the end, it is the daughter of the Meng family, the queen of the main palace, and the people on the boat are hindering the concubine and Zhaoyi who dare not rescue without authorization, where does the sailor dare to drown in front of them after looking at the dignified country?

Even without him, there are always others who can save the queen.

Because he has seen too many things to take revenge on Enjiang, Gongsun Xi didn't take the queen's "repayment" to heart at all.

Even Empress Meng suggested that he come to Wangchun Palace as a guard before, he did not suspect that the queen had other plans, but he himself also wanted to enter the palace, so he nodded with Rong Sleeping Crane in the water.

Gongsun Xi really didn't feel that he had any great kindness to the queen.

"I know. Queen Meng listened to this, but she didn't mean to be ashamed, but nodded very calmly, "You and I don't know each other, and I don't know the king of Mizhen County, if you talk about it carefully, Mizhen is the son of King Gaomi, and the Meng family from whom I was born is still a political enemy, if you and Mizhen specifically save me, it will be strange." ”

She paused and said lightly, "But in the end, you pulled me ashore." So I remember this kindness after all. ”

Gongsun Xi couldn't guess her thoughts, and after thinking about it for a while, he said cautiously: "Then Niangniang is now summoning the lowly ...... What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Don't act rashly anymore. Empress Meng sighed, "The guards in this palace are not as relaxed as you think! You don't want to think about it, if this palace is really negligent enough that you can walk around without knowing it with a little effort, and the nobles in the palace can still sleep? As the saying goes, learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family, although the people may not have no masters, but the most outstanding and talented people in the world are probably in the court. I know that you are not comparable to ordinary subordinates, but if it wasn't for me to strike you, you didn't have the ability to keep your flaws under Meng's supervision. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Xi was silent, she pinched her forehead a little tiredly, "The last time you went to worship in the palace where Xiao Wen's family lived, I fooled you over, saying that I sent you to do that, the reason is that I have been sleeping very badly at night recently, and I always dream that there are children crying in the palace over there...... I want to send you to worship and ask for peace of mind. ”

"The reason why I am looking for you instead of Meng's guards is because the death of the little prince back then was due to the fact that my aunt, my grandmother, did not take care of it wholeheartedly. ”

"In the future, if someone asks, remember the confession, don't leak it. ”

When the queen said this, she quietly peeked at Gongsun Xi's expression from between her fingers to confirm his identity.

But Gongsun Xi has always been expressionless, and only said lightly: "Niangniang's kindness, humble duty and indignation." ”

"What are you going to do next?" Empress Meng sighed in her heart, cheered up, and said, "Although the Meng clan has been fooled by me for the time being, this is also just the right time for the return of the King of Mizhen County, and now that the court is in full swing around the Gongsun clan of Tortoiseshell Island, the Meng clan has no time to pay attention to this little matter of you for the time being...... I guess it's also because of King Gaomi, he should convince Zheng Guogong and them that the little prince is no longer there, right?"

"Otherwise, Zheng Guogong and them...... You should know that although His Majesty has no children under his knees, neither King Gaomi nor the Meng family will hope that the little prince who was strangled by the nurse will come back to life. After all, you're not intimate with either party. ”

The queen waved her hand to interrupt Gongsun Xi's explanation, "I know that you have a good relationship with Mi Zhen, but Mi Zhen is only the son of King Gaomi, not King Gaomi. King Gaomi has been camping for many years, and the picture is to ascend the throne himself, but he is not assisting a royal nephew who suddenly appeared!"

She hesitated, but still asked, "By the way, Mizhen shouldn't know your background, otherwise, how could she keep using you as a close attendant?"

"......" Gongsun Xi was silent for a while before he showed a look of crying and laughing, and said, "Niangniang, you really misunderstood, the humble position is definitely not the so-called little prince!"

Although Empress Meng didn't believe it at all, she didn't want to force him anymore, so she pursed her lips and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, don't talk about it." Let's talk about something important: Originally, after Mi Zhen came back from Nanfeng County this time, he wanted you to go back to the county king's mansion, and he had already prepared a seat for you as the commander of the county king's mansion guards. But you refused......"

Gongsun Xi thought that she was going to send herself away, so she said: "If Niangniang doesn't like to be on the side, the lowly will go and pack up her things." ”

"Originally, it was nothing for you to go back to the Mizhen County Palace, after all, I discussed it with the Mizhen County King earlier. But the queen shook her head, "But at this time, the Meng clan is already suspicious of you, if you leave like this, I am afraid that even if the Meng clan has no time to pay attention to it for the time being, and after turning around, he will find you again sooner or later!"

She said, "So, I suggest you don't go back for a while and stay here." ”

Gongsun Xi glanced at the queen in surprise and reminded: "Niangniang, since the Meng family has already suspected the lowly position, and the humble position has refused to go to the Mizhen County Palace as the commander of the guard, if you continue to stay in the Wangchun Palace, it will be more likely to be considered as suspicious and deceitful, right? For example, recognizing Your Majesty through the identity of the mother? Although the lowly position is not a little prince at all!"

“…… I have seriously thought about it just now, and it is indeed difficult to suppress Meng's suspicions based on the arguments I made up at that time. Empress Meng pondered for a while and said, "But you can't leave now, and it's not even easy to explain after leaving." Maybe you have been following the King of Mizhen County and staying in a good family like the Sheng family, so I don't know what a family like the Meng family will do with this kind of thing: I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go!"

She sneered when she said this, "After all, in their opinion, the male heir born to my eleventh sister and King Guangling is suitable to be raised under my knees and established as the East Palace!

After calming down her feelings as a chess piece, Empress Meng continued, "I know that Mi Zhen is very capable and attaches great importance to you. But he was too young, and he didn't have enough weight in front of King Gaomi. Therefore, once the Meng clan has murderous intentions towards you, I don't think Mizhen can protect you 100%. Even if he could...... Would you like to see him bow down to King Gaomi and make all kinds of concessions and sacrifices in order to protect you?"

Gongsun Xi was speechless by her and did not make a sound.

The queen sorted out her thoughts, and then continued: "So maybe we can play a play: you and Mizhen are the same age, and your appearance is good, but you can only be his subordinate by chance; I am the concubine of the Meng family, but my biological father spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and my life was not good! Now that the family needs to send me into the palace to be the queen, I have thought about the humiliation and indifference I have suffered in the past, and try to take revenge; second, I don't want to be a pawn for the family all my life, and I plan to break free from the family's control. It is also understandable that they will give birth to their own descendant forces. ”

"But the people around me, except for Chunlai, who served in the side hall of Xinshou Palace before and was asked to come over, are almost all from the Meng family, and I can't win them over. ”

"It's rare to use the grace of saving your life to place you, a person who has nothing to do with the Meng family, to Wangchun Palace as a guard...... If I want to pry the corner of King Mizhenjun, it's not impossible!"

"And your words...... Do you need a reason to climb up?"

Empress Meng finished talking about her plan in one breath and said seriously, "What do you think of this statement? Of course, Mi Zhen has to explain it to him clearly, so that he will not retaliate against you if he misunderstands." He's been very popular with the Shu sisters lately, and if I want to target you, to be honest, I don't have the confidence to keep you. ”

Gongsun Xi was silent for a while before looking at the queen with a treacherous gaze: "Niangniang, since you have decided that I am the so-called little prince, and you still protect me like this, you are not afraid that the Meng family will fall short in the future, and even you will not end well?"

"Then what can I do?" Empress Meng said very calmly when she heard this, "Who told me that when I encounter a life-and-death crisis, it is always outsiders who save me? And to put it mildly, after the Meng clan wins, I may not be able to have a good end." ”

The Meng family insisted on getting a child to be the heir of Emperor Xuanjing, not to be a generation of auxiliary political ministers, but to usurp the throne!

And the foundation of Empress Meng's important status and noble status is based on the fact that she is the master of the six palaces in the world of the mother of the Great Mu Dynasty!

If Meng's plan succeeds, the Great Mu Dynasty will definitely become a thing of the past, and at that time, what is she?

Coupled with her dissatisfaction with her experience in the Zhengguo Mansion before entering the palace, Empress Meng really couldn't say words of blessing for the future of the Meng family.

She just can't resist now, and there is really no other way out.

Otherwise, just like she said to Sheng Weiqiao: If she can withdraw from the Meng clan and not be affected by the fall of the Meng clan, she wishes that the Meng clan would be unlucky!

Therefore, for concealing important news and repaying Gongsun Xi's kindness...... Queen Meng didn't feel guilty at all.

There are so few people in the world who are kind to her and willing to lend a helping hand when she is in trouble, how can she still live up to it?

Gongsun Xi didn't know much about the queen's experience, and he couldn't be sure of her thoughts, so he stared at her strangely, weighing the pros and cons, and then said: "Obey the orders of the mother." ”
