"Where have you been today?"

"Today I went to Longhua Temple with the prince, and the prince met a monk alone. When I came back, the prince also specially instructed me that if others asked, they would say that we went to Ruyuzhai. Meng Junchi replied truthfully.

"But what's going on?" Master Meng asked.

"Not really." Meng Junchi replied, but he concealed the fact that he saw Xie Anyi. He thought for a moment and asked, "Why does my father ask that?" ”

Master Meng didn't speak, but the old lady Meng on the side said: "Jun Chi has already made a marriage, there are many things that should be said to him, and you must not be like the boss before." ”

"Big brother?" Meng Junchi listened to Mrs. Meng's words, and couldn't help but have a lot of questions in his heart.

Everyone in Beijing knows that the eldest master of the Meng family has two sons-in-law, the eldest son Meng Junji and the younger son Meng Junchi.

Meng Junji is five years old when Meng Junchi is the eldest Meng Junchi, before Meng Junchi became famous, he was a standout among many children in the capital. I also learned the skills of Mrs. Meng, and I can shoot stones and drink feathers with one stone.

Therefore, he has also become a husband candidate in the minds of many ladies. It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the people who came to Meng's house every day to talk about matchmaking were about to close the threshold.

But three years ago, such a figure disappeared from Beijing. The Meng family said externally that they sent him to the Southern Xinjiang Army for a few years of training, but internally, except for the head of the Meng family, Mrs. Meng and Master Meng, even Mrs. Meng didn't know.

Southern Xinjiang is not a good place, there are many mountains and forests, and there are many wild areas.

During his reign, the first emperor sent an invincible general to lead a large army to fight. The general went his own way, and without stopping the persuasion of the locals, rushed into the forest with a large group of men.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering the forest, he met a group of people from southern Xinjiang. When the people of southern Xinjiang saw them, they turned around and ran, but they chased after them and went deeper and deeper.

Who knew that at this time, the leader of this group cast a spell, causing poisonous gas all over the mountains. Many soldiers were poisoned and died, and so was the general, almost annihilated. In the end, those who were lucky enough to escape were also left disabled, and most of them were blind.

Since then, no one has dared to enter the forests of southern Xinjiang. The first emperor had no choice but to order the army to retreat fifty miles, and only defend it to prevent the southern Xinjiang people from attacking the city, but never mentioned the crusade again.

is such a place, how could the Meng family let the eldest grandson go to death? Moreover, Master Meng didn't mention this matter afterwards, which made people even more curious.

Meng Junchi asked once, but instead of answering him, the eldest master punished him for standing for two hours, and then he didn't dare to ask again.

But the more he couldn't get an answer, the more he wanted to know why, and he had privately asked someone to investigate, but there was no progress. He also wrote to Meng Junji, but he was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he couldn't hear from him.

At this time, as soon as he heard that Old Lady Xie wanted Old Master Xie to tell him what happened, he couldn't help but stand up straight, and even pricked up his ears.

Master Meng thought about it, and probably felt that it was time to sue Meng Junchi, so he took a sip of tea from the teacup and opened his mouth: "The reason why I sent your brother to Southern Xinjiang is because he made a big mistake, and if he still stays in Beijing, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed." ”

This brainless sentence made Meng Junchi stunned, he knew Meng Junji's personality best, how could he do something wrong and make a big mistake?

"You also know that Jun Ji, this kid is upright, but it's this temperament that can't turn around hurts him." Old lady Xie on the side said.

Seeing Meng Junchi stunned there, he couldn't help asking, "Do you remember what I said to you the night before you entered the palace as the prince's companion?" ”

Meng Junchi blurted out: "How dare my grandfather teach his grandson." The grandfather said that the crown prince was the future prince, and the grandson had the distinction between the monarch and the minister, and he had to obey him in everything on the surface, but he could not have a heart-to-heart with him. ”

"If you remember, you have done a very good job today, and it is not in vain that your father and I have high hopes for you. The Meng family swears allegiance to the emperor, and there are many secrets in it, the less you know, the safer it is, and when the time is right, your father and I will sue you. ”

Meng Junchi, who thought that he could understand the whole story, was very disappointed after listening to the old lady's words, but the old lady changed his words and asked: "You have been with the prince for so many years, do you know what the relationship between the prince and the princess is?" ”

Meng Junchi recalled the words and deeds of the prince on weekdays, and after a while, he pondered and said: "The prince and the princess have always respected each other like guests, but the grandson thinks it is ......."

"What do you think?"

But the grandson thought that the prince didn't really like the princess. The prince has always been fond of a woman, but the grandson doesn't know who it is. The grandson is also curious, if it is a young lady from the official eunuch's family, she will accept it. If it is a woman in a green house, you can also redeem her body and raise her outside. He is a prince, what other woman can't get it? Unless...... Unless the woman is in the palace? Or someone who is already married and he can't afford to mess with? ”

Old Lady Meng nodded appreciatively and said, "That woman is Prince Li's princess, the Liu family. ”

"But, but it was a marriage given by the Queen Mother herself, and the Holy Lord nodded and agreed?" As soon as Meng Junchi asked, he immediately figured it out.

As a member of the Meng family, he knew that the emperor was not so close to his younger brother Prince Li as he appeared, and he guarded against Prince Li everywhere, and gave the niece of the Queen Mother's family to Prince Li in marriage, first, so that Xiao Xiaohan could not get the support of others because of the marriage, and secondly, the Liu family was the niece of the Queen Mother, and she often went in and out of the palace, which was also an eyeliner that the Queen Mother and the Emperor placed in Prince Li's mansion.

Although he knew this, he was still surprised by Old Lady Meng's words afterwards.

"The saint has always known that the prince and the Liu family are in love, but when the queen mother discussed with him that day to give the Liu family a marriage to the prince of Li, the saint still nodded, just because he knew that his son's character was the same as his, that is, ......" Old lady Meng deliberately lowered his voice, and finally dipped his finger in the tea and wrote four words on the table.

"Do you know that the saint is not the prince, the first emperor mistakenly pointed out the eldest daughter of the Lu family to the prince as the princess, who expected that the Lu family would later die in childbirth. Later, the crown prince was deposed, and the saint ascended the throne, and it didn't take long for it to be reported that the abolished prince was sick and sick. ”

Old lady Meng's meaning couldn't be clearer, the death of the abolished prince was ten ** because the current saint blamed him for the death of the Lu family, and revenge will be avenged.

Liu is also dead! A thought suddenly flashed in Meng Junchi's mind, he looked at Old Lady Meng in surprise, but saw Old Lady Meng nodding at him.

"It has been a few days since the emperor gave Prince Li a marriage decree, and there should be some arrangements on the prince's side, you should pay attention to every thing you want to pay attention to when you are with him." Old lady Meng finally said this, and sent Meng Junchi back.
