"Okay!" The emperor replied very quickly, and then he was in no mood to listen to the trivial things in the court, so he took the wine and said that he wanted to drink with Gu Zhikai.

As a result, the ministers had no choice but to end.

When leaving, Gu Zhikai pulled out a smile at her, and made a gesture of reassurance.

Meng Fan nodded and walked out.

She had just walked outside the main hall when she received an invitation that surprised her.

"The queen invites the prime minister to the imperial garden for a gathering." The person who came was a little palace maid, who should have just entered the palace, and she was a little timid when she spoke.

When Meng Fan heard this, he still didn't believe it a little.

And the little palace maid in front of her said astringently: "Niang Niang said that you must go, saying that there is a big matter to discuss, Prime Minister, you should go." ”

"Then lead the way." Meng Fan couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

After walking for a while, I stopped at the small pavilion in the middle of the imperial garden.

The queen mother was drinking tea, and she was holding a small yellow flower in her hand, which seemed to be admiring, and she didn't seem to care.

Meng Fan approached, and the little palace maid went to report.

The queen raised her head slightly, looked at Meng Fan and nodded, and motioned for Meng Fan to come in.

"Wechen see the queen mother." After Meng Fan saluted, the queen waved her hand and motioned for several palace maids on the side to retreat.

For a while, only the queen and Meng Fan were left in this pavilion.

The queen just chatted with Meng Fan for a few words, and didn't say anything else.

There was still a trace of sadness in her tone, and it seemed that she was still not completely relieved of the little prince's affairs.

"Have you heard? The emperor accepted a new Liangdi. After the queen finished speaking, a trace of rain and mist appeared in her eyes, which were not very clear.

Meng Fan never cared much about the emperor's harem, so as for who the emperor favored, she didn't feel anything, and she didn't inquire much, so naturally she didn't know who this sudden Liangdi was?

She shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, and the queen smiled, and the smile was unusually pale. It's like a hard squeeze.

The queen is a lady cultivated by the family, and even expressing her jealousy is so calm and self-contained.

It's just that Meng Fan has never looked at the restraint of these ladies. Xu is that she has been in the army for a long time, and she likes the kind of appearance that does not twist and pinch in everything.

"It's the woman who was brought to my birthday banquet by the Kai of the last review." After the queen finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, people are old...... I can't hold anything. ”

As she spoke, the little yellow flower in her hand slid down her hand into the pool.

The flowers floated out of the palace along the slowly flowing water.

"You say it's boring like this in this palace. Why are so many people still coming in? Meng Fan didn't understand the queen's words, and he didn't understand why the queen wanted to find Meng Fan to say this.

The two talked and talked about nothing, and the queen somehow always looked uneasy.

Suddenly, the queen fell to her knees, pulled Meng Fan's sleeve and said, "I have one thing I want you to help me, Meng Fan." ”

Meng Fan was taken aback by her move, and took her hand to get her up.

The queen shook her head and said in a bit of a panic: "My people don't trust me, I can only beg you, you must promise me." ”

"Whatever it is, the queen asks you to get up and say."

The queen knelt down on her, and she knew that it didn't matter. As long as anyone who doesn't look down on Meng Fan sees it, this is a crime, and she doesn't have the courage to take on this crime.

However, the queen had a determination, and if Meng Fan didn't say to help her, she wouldn't get up.

"So the queen mother, you get up first and tell me about it, and then if I don't agree with you, kneel down and beg me again, is that okay?"

The queen thought about it and got up.

She was anxious to say the words that pressed against her chest. So much so that every sentence stumbles.

It wasn't until she finished speaking that Meng Fan understood what she meant.

It turned out that it was because she felt that Gu Zhiqi was the one who killed her youngest son, and she told her brother, but her brother said that she died suddenly because of the child. People have become demonic and do not believe her.

She went to tell the emperor and got the same answer.

After several times, the people around her no longer believed her.

And half of those officials who are familiar with her were introduced by Gu Zhiqi, let alone talk about this.

Thinking about it, there is only one Meng Fan in her heart, but. She thought about it for a long time, although she and Meng Fan had no grievances, but she didn't know if Meng Fan would help her.

Today, she couldn't hold it back so she opened up to Meng Fan.

"Then the queen mother, do you have any evidence?" Although Meng Fan also has some doubts about Gu Zhiqi in his heart, but now Gu Zhiqi's power in the court is becoming more and more stable, and if there is no evidence at this time, saying that he killed his brother will inevitably make people wonder if it is related to party disputes.

The queen thought for a while and said, "That palace maid, yes, it's that palace maid." ”

She hurriedly called out the little palace maid who went to find Meng Fan just now.

"Meng Fan, you can ask her, she knows." The queen said, looking at Meng Fan with extremely serious eyes.

Meng Fan looked at the little palace maid, this person was not the one who reported Concubine Yong, so what does this matter have to do with her?

"Then tell me about it!"

Hearing Meng Fan's question, the little palace maid trembled and said: "The slave maid only saw Sister Wan go to His Royal Highness Zhiqi on the night of the queen's birthday banquet, and walked out with a ruddy face. ”

The little palace maid said that Sister Wan was the one who reported Concubine Yong, and it is said that she was drowned in the liquid pool after the report.

Because she was an accomplice, everyone thought it was a suicide, so they didn't pay attention to it anymore.

And in the mouth of this little palace maid, that Sister Wan told her the night before she died that she was about to leave the palace and marry a dignitary.

Such a person who is looking forward to living out of the palace should not have the mentality to commit suicide the next day.

Therefore, the queen has always believed that these two things are related.

After Meng Fan listened, although she already had a certain number in her heart, if she really asked this little palace maid who was by the queen's side to be a witness, people would probably only say that the little girl was crazy.

Or maybe it was instructed by the Queen's mother.

Therefore, even if what the little palace maid said is true, it cannot all be used as evidence.

Meng Fan thought for a while and replied: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, Weichen will help you investigate immediately when he goes back, please pay more attention to it in the palace." ”

The queen nodded, held Meng Fan's hand very gratefully and said, "You must help my son find out, otherwise he will die at such a young age, and he must be very sad if he can't severely punish the murderer, and he must be saying that I have no ability." ”

Her tone was already a little out of order, and it seemed that she was still deeply blaming herself.

When Meng Fan left, he didn't forget to comfort the queen.

However, she forgot to ask the queen, if Gu Zhiqi really found out that he was the real murderer of his younger brother, would the queen really be willing to kill him too?

Thinking about it, this royal is really cold-blooded. (To be continued.) )
