Chapter 393: A Candidate with a Flash of Inspiration
The master and servant in the hall glanced at each other, and sneered: "She has a stomachache, just call the imperial doctor, what do you ask the queen mother to do? First, the queen mother does not know how to use medicine, and second, in terms of age, the queen mother may not have more experience than Zhaoyi! What is the use of going there at this time? Isn't this just disturbing the queen mother's meal?"
Because of Meng Guiyu's relationship, the waiters of Wangchun Palace are not as afraid of Shu Zhaoyi as before at this time, and the little palace maid smiled when she heard this: "Sister Weixin is right, but the appearance of the steward over there is really anxious, and it doesn't look like she has nothing to do...... The slave maid thought, is there really something wrong with Zhaoyi, the palace people over there are afraid of taking responsibility, so they came to invite the queen mother?"
When she heard it, she hurriedly said: "Niangniang, if this is the case, then you should invite the Queen Mother to sit in the town! After all, you are not a person from the past, and in this situation, I am afraid that you may not know how to make the decision?"
This is afraid that Meng Guiyu will come to Wangchun Palace on the front foot, and Shu Zhaoyi in the West Palace on the back foot will go wrong, don't let Empress Dowager Meng suspect that her nephew colluded with her niece and harmed her own grandchildren...... The queen's biggest backer at this time is this aunt, but she can't let there be any gaps between her aunt and nephew!
Empress Meng also thought so, and immediately got up and said, "It's a big matter, I'll go and tell my aunt in person!"
After a while, the Empress Dowager Meng of Xinshou Palace received the news, she was terrified, and while taking the queen to the West Palace, she really asked on the road: "I heard that Fang just returned to Yu to find you?"
"Yes. Empress Meng hurriedly said, "I was going to come to you after the meal, but before the meal was delivered, the people below said that the steward of the West Palace came to invite, I was scared at the time, for fear that I was inexperienced and missed a big event, so I hurried over and told you!"
The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, and she said kindly: "What did Gui Yu tell you? Is it Zhaoyi's pregnancy?"
"That's what I said. The queen quickly groaned, deliberately lowered her voice, and said in her ear, "I told the sixth brother about some of your suspicions, and the sixth brother was also very hesitant, saying this kind of thing, he doesn't understand, since you have made a decision, then wait a few more months, if it is Shu Zhaoyi's fake pregnancy, it will only delay settling accounts with her for a few days!"
Empress Dowager Meng patted the back of her hand knowingly: "Good boy!"
But she thought that the queen was using this way to relax Meng Guiyu's vigilance and strive for a safe environment for Shu Zhaoyi.
However, the Queen Mother felt that even if Meng Guiyu completely believed this, it would be able to drag on for a few months, in case Shu Zhaoyi was really pregnant with the imperial heir...... When the time comes, I can't say that I still don't expect to be born.
So after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Guiyu is young, and it is too heavy to carry the burden now......! The mourning family thinks it's time to think of sharing some of the burden for him!"
Empress Meng understood that this was to weaken Meng Guiyu's powerful position, so as not to hinder Emperor Xuanjing's own flesh and blood.
She muttered: "It's just my aunt, our family is now withered, and the third brother is still ...... But how can you help the sixth brother?"
Empress Dowager Meng was also very distressed by this question, and couldn't help sighing: "Boqin is really ...... He was going to Ruru before, so why did he bring all his children and grandchildren with him? Even if he left one and a half behind!"
These words reminded Empress Meng, and she hurriedly said: "Auntie, before the third brother defected to Ruru, didn't he once drive the second son and his family out of the house?
"Second son, the mourning family thinks about it, it's the kid named Jiaxing, right?" Empress Dowager Meng patted her forehead and thought quickly, "Although it's just a concubine, it's Boqin's bloodline!" And the reputation of Boqin's family is ruined at this time, and this child was kicked out of the house earlier, so it is just right to get rid of it at this time...... It's just that the child has been in northern Xinjiang before, and he has no foundation in Chang'an, but this has to be well understood!"
Empress Meng said: "Auntie, you also said that Jiaxing's nephew is the third brother's bloodline, and he is the son of my big house!"
Therefore, if Meng Jiaxing is still alive and is willing to openly serve the imperial court, under the command of Marquis Zheng, shouldn't he serve him as a matter of course?
"However, the soldiers were in chaos before, and Boqin's family didn't go south at all, except for a few who escorted you to Shanglin Yuan before, almost everyone else has already taken refuge under Gui Yu......!" People go to tea and cool, but I don't know how many people are willing to be loyal to the real young master?"
Her voice was low, "In case these people are black-hearted, and in turn want to be unfavorable to Jiaxing, it is good to sell it in front of Guiyu...... That?"
"The most important thing now is to confirm whether Jiaxing is still alive and his whereabouts. Empress Meng offered a plan, "After contacting him, you can let him not come to Chang'an for the time being! Instead, he will play the banner of the Meng family's big house elsewhere and gather the people under his father's hands...... In this way, the true loyal people are identified, and they are not so easy to be murdered. ”
"After entering the court, with your help and support, are you afraid that you won't be able to be the right hand man for the sixth brother?"
Empress Dowager Meng felt that it was very reasonable, but she made a difficulty: "It's just that this kid has never seen the mourning family until now, but where are you going to find him?"
Empress Meng's eyes flashed, and she said: "Auntie, have you forgotten these people who escorted me to Shanglin Yuan before? They were all left by my father before his death, and they were specially designed to preserve the bloodline of the Meng family at a critical moment! At that time, because of the suddenness of the incident, the male heir of Chang'an really couldn't keep it, so he had to enter the palace to save me! These days, I have been searching for the bloodlines scattered all over the place...... If I hadn't known about this, to be honest, I wouldn't have thought of a good trip!"
"When your father was here, he gave Meng a lot of consideration. When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes were filled with tears, and she said, "I don't want him to go so abruptly, even the children under his knees...... In the end, all four rooms were completed! This is really something that the mourning family did not expect before. ”
The queen hurriedly comforted: "These are all in the past, and my father must not want to see you sad for them under Jiuquan...... What's more, the rebel king Rongjing has already been defeated like a mountain, and someone may bring his head back soon, and then he can pay tribute to the Meng family!"
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "But let's hope so...... Alas, the mourning family really can't think about those things at all at this time, and it hurts to think about it!"
He said, "You can let your father's people do this." ”
After hesitating, he advised, "It's best to let those people who saved you before do it alone, if it is Gui Yu...... He's too busy right now, don't make a mistake!"
The queen couldn't ask for it, so she agreed.
Having said that, Feng Yuan also arrived in front of Leyi Palace.
Leyi Palace, commonly known as the West Palace, has been favored by Emperor Xuanjing for decades, and it has always been arrogant inside and out.
But this time, the Queen Mother got out of the car in front of the palace gate, looked up, I don't know if it was because of psychology, I always felt that this palace that once made them tremble a little when they thought about it was nothing more than that.
Once inside, the sensation is even more pronounced.
In the past, they used to walk with their chins high, for fear that others would not know that they were serving the palace people who were famous in the world, and they were all sincerely afraid, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, obviously knowing that even if Shu Zhaoyi was pregnant, it would be difficult to turn the tables.
It is even most likely that the mother and child will be removed.
"What about Zhaoyi?" Seeing this situation, Empress Dowager Meng felt comfortable for a moment, but then it was heavy: Shu Zhaoyi has not fallen out of favor until now, and the reason why the palace people dare not rely on her favor to despise the Empress Dowager is simply because she feels that Emperor Xuanjing can't control the scene, and it is difficult to protect herself.
The Queen Mother's feelings for the Meng family are very deep, and her feelings for Meng Guiyu are not very deep, plus she still has hopes for Shu Zhaoyi's pregnancy, but at this time, she is more and more determined to find Meng Jiaxing back and balance Meng Guiyu!
Otherwise, it's not a matter of his own grandson not being able to live, it's an unknown reason why his son is not sure to die!
And as a queen mother, her biological son the emperor is gone, what use value does she have?
At that time, wouldn't this well-behaved and considerate nephew, who is still in front of her, also have to send her down?!
The Queen Mother was thinking about it, and a palace man who looked like a steward came up and bowed, and said respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, Zhaoyi Niangniang was unwell in her abdomen, and now she is placed in the dormitory, and the two Niangniang are invited to move there!"
Empress Meng was about to help the Queen Mother to walk inward, but the Queen Mother stood still, staring at the steward, and said lightly: "There is no need to go over to the mourning family! ”
The steward knew that she was angry with the Shu sisters in the past, so she didn't dare to say much at this time, so she only bowed her head and said, "The slave obeys the order!"
He ordered someone to make tea and set up pastries.
The Queen Mother didn't touch the refreshments, and after sitting down, she just asked idly: "Have you ever summoned the Imperial Doctor?"
The steward said cautiously: "Back to Niangniang's words: Fang Cai has already sent someone to ask for a doctor, but Xu Shitai Hospital is some distance from Leyi Palace, so it has not yet arrived." ”
Empress Dowager Meng nodded when she heard this, but didn't say anything more.
In order to show her love to Zhaoyi...... Well, to be precise, I was very concerned about Zhaoyi's pregnancy, and then asked: "How uncomfortable is Zhaoyi's abdomen?
"Back to the queen's words, Zhaoyi Niangniang was in a lot of pain, and was helped by the palace people to lie on the couch for a while, and finally eased up, and it looked stable at this time, but Zhaoyi Niangniang was still crying pain. The steward hurriedly said, "After all, it is related to the emperor's heir, and the slaves and maids dare not slack off, so it alarmed the queen mother and the queen mother!"
Empress Dowager Meng glanced at the steward lightly, and said to the queen: "The mourning family remembers that you just said that you were about to eat, but you received a notice from here, so you went to the mourning family before you had a meal...... In this way, anyway, we have already called the imperial doctor, in this case, our mother has nothing to do, and ask someone to put your meal over, so as not to starve you!"
The queen knew that the queen mother's move was of course distressed by herself, but the main thing was to beat Shu Zhaoyi, and when she was angry, her heart was racing, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "I know that my aunt loves me!"
When the people in the palace heard this, they hurriedly went to do it.
After a long time, the palace arranged the queen's dinner, and the imperial doctor was late!
