Chapter 193: Meeting and Trading Soon!
What Xi Concubine did has long been no longer just a simple matter of deceiving the heir of the dragon, but also framing the imperial concubine, what she did was extremely insidious and vicious, and the impact was also very bad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fortunately, it was detected and stopped in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Emperor Meng Zhao sent him into the cold palace for the sake of the past, otherwise, even if he was directly executed, it would be a normal thing.
As a result, everyone did not squeak, even Empress Jiang.
"Queen, such an unbearable thing has happened in my harem, I wonder how you, the master of the harem, feel? Do you think that my punishment is too much, or do you think that you, the queen, are too derelict in your duties on weekdays, and you actually manage this harem into such a mess? ”
After the concubine was pulled out, the entire dormitory finally regained peace. And Emperor Meng Zhao directly aimed the artillery fire at the Jiang family, who had an extremely bad complexion on the side.
Of course he knows who Xi Concubine is, if Xi Concubine really doesn't know anything about it, or has no responsibility at all, then he, the emperor, is really in vain!
It's just that Emperor Meng Zhao naturally won't involve too much of other people, after all, this is a scandalous matter, and there is no special evidence to show anything so far.
But this does not mean that Emperor Meng Zhao will not take the opportunity to give the Jiang family eye medicine, because now all kinds of things in the harem make him feel more and more dissatisfied, and of course the queen has an unshirkable responsibility!
Jiang's careful thinking, he knows better than anyone else, he looks generous and decent in the palace for so many years, but in fact, he has always rejected and suppressed some other concubines in his bones, for fear that anyone will threaten her and the status of the prince.
If it's just like this, after all, everyone has a selfish heart, and it is understandable for the queen to have such worries, but now the queen is getting more and more excessive, and she just hasn't blatantly cleared up the dissent!
The last time there was a rumor in the palace, he had already given him enough wake-up, and now he has intensified it, directly putting the knife on Ning's neck!
Is such a smoky harem still his harem of Emperor Meng Zhao? Although the queen is the master of the harem, this harem is his harem after all!
Hearing Emperor Meng Zhao's words, of course the Jiang family knew that the emperor was already angry with her, and his heart was cold for a while.
"The emperor is right, the concubine, as the queen, has indeed not fulfilled her due responsibilities, and it is an afterthought that such a big thing happened in the harem!"
At such a time, of course, the Jiang family would not have the slightest intention of going against Emperor Meng Zhao, so he immediately took the initiative to admit his mistake and plead: "The concubine knows that she is derelict in her duty and disappoints the emperor, and the concubine deserves to die, and she is willing to be punished by anything!" ”
She made her attitude seem sincere, and she made herself look like she really regretted her mistakes, it didn't matter if she broke a concubine, the important thing was that she would never let herself get involved again.
And now, the Jiang family can also see clearly, even if the emperor is really angry, but in the end, he will not really deal with her because of what Xi Concubine has done.
Therefore, only by making the emperor feel comfortable as soon as possible can her life be better.
Sure enough, Jiang was right.
After Emperor Meng Zhao reprimanded Empress Jiang in public again, he didn't really give her a practical deal in the end, after all, he still had to give some face to the queen. In addition, tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the New Year is coming soon, and someone still has to come forward to preside over various affairs in the harem.
However, for the Ning family, Emperor Meng Zhao rewarded and comforted the good life in public, after all, the Ning family not only suffered a great grievance in today's matter, but was almost framed by Xi Concubine and succeeded.
In addition, Zheng Qin and the Ninth Princess were also praised by Emperor Meng Zhao, after all, both of them have merit this time, especially Meng Xia!
After going out of the Xi Concubine's dormitory, Emperor Meng Zhao directly led the Ning family to Mu Qing Palace, seeing that he must have to stay in Mu Qing Palace tonight.
Meng Xia didn't follow him, anyway, the crisis was resolved.
After sending off the black-faced Jiang family, Meng Xia and Zheng Qin left together.
"Thank you......"
Along the way, Meng Xia thanked Zheng Qin.
If it weren't for Zheng Qin's help today, according to her father's temper at the time, I would definitely not let her in if it was her.
If you can't even enter, everything else is just empty talk!
"Don't thank me, I didn't actually do anything, I just led the way, and I didn't say a word for you after I went in."
Zheng Qin smiled slightly, now she looks much calmer than before: "In the final analysis, you are smart and everything is arranged properly, but I still followed you and got praise." ”
Although she and Meng Xia have rarely met since that long talk in the bamboo forest, let alone any real communication, it does not affect the trust and tacit understanding that already exists between them.
"Those are two different things, if it weren't for your stepping stone, I wouldn't even be able to see my father today, so what else would I talk about?"
Meng Xia said sincerely: "In short, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me. ”
"Don't, don't say that, I'm not doing this for you, you know in your heart."
Zheng Qin smiled absently, and at the same time stopped to look at Meng Xia and said again: "I heard that things have been going well for Prince Zheng recently, maybe it won't be long before he can regain the position of the crown prince that belongs to him." Being able to share some of his worries for him is the happiest thing for me. ”
Seeing Zheng Qin inadvertently mentioning Chu Zhengchao's appearance, Meng Xia fell silent and did not answer.
She probably knows about the affairs of Northern Chu, the infighting in the court of Northern Chu has officially kicked off, and Chu Zhengqian stands on the cusp without any taboos.
Today's Prince of Northern Chu is just a little doll who has not fully grown up, and he is not Chu Zhengqian's opponent at all, and now there is only one breath left in his life, and when he swallows his last breath I am afraid it depends on Chu Zhengqian's mood.
And the Emperor of Northern Chu is not above the government at all now, ******** is not above the government at all, and he is not interested in other things at all when he is looking for immortals with a group of immortal masters and Taoist masters, and seeking immortality through alchemy.
Meng Xia knew that the previous Northern Chu Emperors were not like this, and now that he was abandoning the government and thinking about the promotion of immortals, he was afraid that it would be due to Chu Zhengqian's contributions.
"When you mention the prince, you simply don't squeak, it's been more than two years, do you really don't miss him at all?"
Zheng Qin actually teased Meng Xialai: "Or are you afraid that I will feel uncomfortable?" ”
"No, Zheng Qin, in fact, I've always regarded him as a good friend."
Meng Xia smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'm going back to Heling Palace, and I'm going the other way from you, so I'll go first." ”
She nodded, turned and walked in the other direction.
"But he doesn't just regard you as a good friend, Axia, maybe it won't be long before you can meet again!"
Zheng Qin stood there without moving, but told this sentence with great certainty, and then didn't say anything more, and also turned to leave.
Meng Xia was slightly stunned, turned around and glanced at Zheng Qin's superb back, his eyes were a little puzzled.
Can't we see each other again after too long? Could it be that Chu Zhengqian will come to Nanmeng again? It's just that the identity and purpose of this time are completely different? How long will it be?
Meng Xia couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart, she seemed to owe Chu Zhengqian a favor, and she didn't know how she would have to pay it off when the day came to pay it back in the future.
But soon, Meng Xia didn't think much about it, retracted his gaze and continued to walk away.
It's just that she didn't rush back to Heling Palace first, but told Caiyi to go back and tell the three emperor brothers in detail about the situation here, and she herself had to go to the cold palace first.
went to the cold palace, naturally to see the concubine alone.
Meng Xia always felt that there seemed to be something missing about Concubine Xi, and it wasn't until the end that Concubine Xi took the initiative to admit her mistake by holding her father's leg that she realized that it wasn't her care.
Although Concubine Xi's words were not finished at all, and she was immediately interrupted by her father and directly dragged down, Meng Xia still noticed the most critical sentence she heard, "Blame Chen Xiangzhong"!
In fact, for Meng Xia, today she is the one who completely stands on the sidelines, so she is much calmer and more objective than her father, mother, and Jiang family.
The sentence "It's all to blame on Chen Xiangzhong" that Xi Concubine said at the end may not mean that she wants to put all the blame on Imperial Doctor Chen, and another great possibility is that the pretending miscarriage was not planned by Xi Concubine at all!
But what exactly happened in the middle, Meng Xia couldn't make a conclusion based on speculation alone, so she was in a hurry to go to see Xi Concubine alone as soon as possible to listen to Xi Concubine's explanation.
Meng Xia had a hunch in her heart, if this matter was really not planned subjectively by Xi Concubine at the beginning, then now only Xi Concubine can tell her the specific beginning.
The direction of the cold palace was really getting colder and colder, and the seedlings who were cold to the last side finally couldn't help but sigh.
"Ninth Princess, this cold palace is really cold enough, I don't know how many times colder than us and Suzumiya."
"That's because you haven't really felt how cold it is when you're cold with Suzumiya, and you haven't experienced how shocking it is when Cold Palace is crazy."
Meng Xia responded, but didn't say much.
Some things are not as simple as they seem.
When He Miao heard this, she sensed the meaning of the Ninth Princess's words, and estimated that she was thinking too simply, so she didn't say anything more, and honestly closed her mouth and followed aside.
He Miao was pondering the words that Meng Xia said just now in her heart, but suddenly she heard a woman's screaming and crying, from far to near, from small to large, and she could hear her hair straight.
And soon, she realized that they had come to the gate of the cold palace, and the sound that made her hair just now came from inside, which would be heard more and more clearly, it was the concubine who had just been beaten into this time.
Correcting the gods, He Miao quickly took the intention of the ninth princess and stepped forward to call the palace people who guarded the door.
The palace people saw that it was the ninth princess, and they hurried out to greet them, after all, this cold palace is all bad luck for the nobles in the palace.
"Okay, don't be polite, this princess still has something to ask Xi Concubine, you lead the way!" Meng Xia directly instructed the palace people to arrange for her to meet Concubine Xi.
Seeing this, the palace people did not dare to slack off, and immediately led the way, and at the same time reminded Meng Xia very diligently, saying that the sinner Xi had just been beaten by the wolf and cold the palace, so he was very emotional, and he came and bit the two people who were in charge of guarding them here.
As for why the ninth princess came to see the concubine, these palace people are very sophisticated, and they don't ask or mention anything.
Meng Xia soon saw the Xi Concubine locked up in a room, in order to ensure that the ninth princess would not be attacked and injured by the emotional Xi Concubine, several palace people deliberately guarded it tightly, for fear that something would happen.
"Okay, you all go out, there is He Miao, she can't hurt the princess in the slightest."
Meng Xia waved his hand at a few people, signaling them to go out first.
Those palace people didn't dare to disobey the words of the ninth princess, and the second saw that the concubine suddenly calmed down after the ninth princess came in, and no longer shouted and screamed like crazy before, but quickly received the order to wait outside first.
"Why are you here? Is it to come and see my jokes? ”
Looking at Meng Xia, Concubine Xi smiled coldly: "The Ninth Princess is indeed powerful, I admit that I am really not your opponent, but don't be complacent, there are many people in this palace who want your life, maybe one day you will end up worse than me!" ”
"I'm not here to see anyone's jokes, but I just think that there is something hidden in today's events that you haven't said, so I came here to listen to you."
Meng Xia stood there, his expression calm, and he was not affected by Concubine Xi's words: "As for what will happen to me in the future, it is my own business, and I won't bother Concubine Xi for the time being." ”
"Hehe, that's really good, it's really lucky for the imperial concubine to have such a titular princess as you, I can understand now why those people can't tolerate you so much, and they want your life so hard!"
Xi Concubine really didn't have to hide it for anyone at this time, she was beaten into the cold palace, and she ended up like life was worse than death, but no one spoke for her, and her ending didn't matter to those people at all.
"You, it's not that you really did something that you had to die, but that you are too smart and too powerful, so they are all afraid of you and dare not let you live comfortably. As long as you live, it will be the biggest hidden danger for them, a dynamite that may cause them to have an accident at any time! ”
Concubine Xi sighed, looking at Meng Xia's gaze, she couldn't tell whether it was hatred or sympathy.
Hearing this, Meng Xia couldn't help but smile and said at the same time: "Thank you for telling me this, although I have always been clear, but I still want to thank you for reminding me." To make a long story short, I want to make a deal with you, as long as you tell me the real reason for today's incident, and I can help you fulfill a wish within my ability. (To be continued.) )
