In the middle of February of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang Palace.

When I woke up in the morning, there was a glimmer of light.

Mei Niang looked at the blue light outside the hall, and then looked at the bed that was already empty next to the pillow, and was a little dazed for a while. Soon, she calmed down and turned her head to call softly.

Soon, Qinghe hurried in.

"Akiwa followed Jiro to the palace?" Mei Niang raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

Qinghe shook his head and said: "Hui Niangniang, it is the Lord who said, from now on, Qinghe and his brother will be easy to serve each other for a few days." ”

Mei Niang was stunned again, but she didn't say much, only nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After changing clothes and washing, Mei Niang ordered Suqin, who had entered the palace a few days ago, to enter the palace.

As soon as the two sisters met, they were overjoyed, and chattered for a while, but they prepared chess and wine and fruit points, and played with each other under the warm corridor of the apse.

"Sister, have you heard some rumors lately?" Su Qin raised her eyes, looked at Mei Niang, and said softly.

Mei Niang's slender fingertips only carried a chess piece, looking for a place left and right, but she said casually: "There are rumors and rumors every day, what's the matter, what's new?" ”

“…… Some people say that one of my sister's sons can be held. After Su Qin finished speaking, she stared at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang remained silent, only shook her fingertips to find the whereabouts, and said softly: "Really? Who's hugging? ”

"Who else? My sister's good sister, Helan's. Su Qin snorted coldly and said softly: "She still doesn't give up." ”

Mei Niang's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, she slowly put down a chess piece and said, "It seems that someone wants to do something from her." But I don't know which one it is. ”

"I'm afraid, I can't get rid of those in the East City." Suqin said carefully.

The so-called East City, in Chang'an City, refers to the mansion of several dukes in the East Market. In Luoyang, it naturally also refers to their other gardens.

Mei Niang tasted a product in her heart, looked at the chess game in front of her, first said to herself, and then watched Suqin throw to admit defeat, and then only shook her head and said: "Not necessarily." ”

Su Qin was stunned: "Sister Nobunaga Sun Wuji? ”

"It is not a matter of belief or unbelief. In this way, he was above the government and only blindly concentrated on dealing with foreign enemies. In the previous domestic court meeting, I was so noisy and deliberately provoked him, but he didn't pay attention to it, and now he won't pay attention to it. What's more, when such rumors came out, it wasn't me who suffered the most, but Jiro. That's not his way of doing things. ”

Su Qin thought about it, but also nodded and said, "Sister is reasonable. The eldest grandson cares for the Lord, even more so than his parents. If you want him to spread these rumors, let him hear them, and they will also stir the real fire. Who does that sister think it will be? ”

Mei Niang thought about it for a while, but said: "It's really interesting to spread this rumor at such a time...... I think the other party is also a caring person. ”

Su Qin was stunned and said, "Interesting? Got a heart? ”

"Everyone in the world knows that my pair of unangry mother sisters are imprisoned in Chang'an City. And when these rumors don't pick anything else, they pick and spread after they come to Luoyang...... Isn't it interesting? ”

"What my sister means, Su Qin really doesn't understand."

"You've heard that, right? A few days ago, a minister asked Jiro to return to Chang'an, but Jiro refused to return. So many people are guessing that if it weren't for me being pregnant again, I, the queen mother, would have no intention of returning to Chang'an. ”

Su Qin's eyes were cold: "It turns out that that person wants to take the opportunity of people's hearts to fluctuate at this time and confirm the matter of my sister's hugging - yes, in the eyes of ordinary people, if it weren't for my sister's heart, why didn't she refuse to return to Chang'an?" Hmph, good intentions. I just don't know who it is? ”

Mei Niang took a sip of tea and said in a rambling voice: "No matter who it is, this time, he has provoked the wrong person." Don't mention anything else, just say that Jiro is the first one who can't tolerate such things. I said it's strange, why did you change Qinghe to stay with me today...... I was afraid that I would get angry after hearing these nonsense. What a ......."

When Su Qin heard this, she subconsciously looked at Qinghe who was guarding outside the hall, and said, "That sister wants to ......."

"Most of the kids don't know. Besides, there is really no need to involve him in such a trivial matter—after all, he has only stayed with me for a few days, and sooner or later he will still be brought to the side of Sadakan Tejiro. If he is involved too much in the affairs of the court, he will inevitably be affected in the future. The affairs of the woman's family are better solved by ourselves. Mei Niang put down the tea bowl, took a silk handkerchief from the side to wipe her palm, and called Yuming.

Soon, Yuming appeared in front of Mei Niang: "What does Niang Niang command?" ”

"I heard that there have been some indiscriminate rumors in and out of the palace recently, you have to find out which mansion and which garden they came from. Remember, don't startle the snake, let alone deal with it rashly. It's about the children's innocence, you know? Mei Niang said lightly.

Yuming answered the call and left.

Su Qin watched Yuming leave, and then turned her head to look at Mei Niang: "Sister, don't you start with those two?" At this point, they also benefited from this rumor. Presumably someone will lobby for their cameras......"

"Not necessarily." Mei Niang said proudly: "Right now, they are afraid that they can't hide." ”

"Why?" Su Qin was stunned: "Them? ”

"They." Mei Niang smiled faintly: "Because Jiro arranged some things, so that they know very well that once they accept such a camera lobby...... will be doomed to be ruined, and you can't survive and die. ”

When Su Qin heard this, she didn't ask about Li Zhi's methods, and she knew more or less about it.

Therefore, she was slightly relieved, and then looked at the maid beside her. The maid immediately understood, turned around and knelt up with a small box, Suqin glanced at Mei Niang, reached out to take the small box, and put it in front of Mei Niang with a smile: "This." ”

"You can take it, and you can reward whoever you want." After only glancing at the seal on the box, Mei Niang said lightly: "Also, if there is such a thing handed to the German Award in the future and entered the Department of Internal Affairs, you can just take it for me and lose it." ”

"Why?" Su Qin was puzzled: "People pay tribute according to the courtesy." What's more, although Suqin has never seen the contents of this box, according to what he has seen, what the lord of Silla can see will not be anything unsatisfactory. What's more, the Longqing Pearl that I paid tribute to before, as well as the Canaan bracelet, are all treasures that even our Datang can rarely see...... Sister, people thank you for saving your life, why are you so indifferent? ”

"I saved his life because he saved our lives first. Don't you think it's strange to have such a grace? Mei Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Qin's smiling face a little strangely, and then immediately understood: "You know! Then you're still messing around! ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look angry.

Su Qin smiled to save her and pushed her, and then said: "Sister, if you are based on Su Qin's nature, this kind of thing is really unsightly, and I don't want my sister to accept it." But now, Su Qin feels that her sister is still good to accept it. Don't let it flow out, and then cause some big trouble. ”

Mei Niang squinted her eyes and was waiting to speak, but she heard Su Qin continue: "Su Qin knows that my sister is most reluctant to be involved in these unclear things. But sister, now that you are the queen of the Tang Dynasty, this lord of Silla pays tribute according to the ceremony, and you should accept it. If I don't accept it, wouldn't it seem that my Datang has another layer of belly to Silla? Sister, if he doesn't pay tribute according to the courtesy, if you accept it, I will scold you for being confused. But he paid tribute according to the courtesy, and it was only right for you to accept it. Not only will you receive, but you will also have to give it back...... No, it's not you, it's the Lord. ”

Mei Niang thought about it when she heard this, but sighed: "In the end, you think about it thoroughly, I didn't expect this layer...... That's it. ”

She raised her hand, beckoned Kiyowa to come closer, repeated these words to him, and told him to tell Li Zhi to give back to Silla.

While watching Qinghe run out of the hall with a pale face, Suqin couldn't help but smile: "Seriously, sister, Suqin is really curious, what will our lord give back to Silla!" ”

"Whatever he likes, as long as you don't bother me." Mei Niang shook her hand impatiently, and said with a straight face: "Speaking of these things, I think of one thing...... I heard that a few days ago, King Han's mansion got a few treasures from the Western Regions, have you ever heard the news, do you know what kind of treasure it is? ”

Su Qin understood, nodded and said, "I know that my sister is in the heart of the movements in the palace of King Han, so I went to see Princess Han a few days ago." She also asked me to give my sister the same thing. ”

As she spoke, she took out a splendid pouch from her cuff and handed it to Mei Niang.

Mei Niang took it, untied it, poured it out, only glanced at it, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Beans? ”

"Beans." Su Qin nodded and said, "But this bean seems to be very different from the common beans." ”

Mei Niang's heart moved when she heard this, she looked down for a while, and suddenly turned her head and asked Yuru to come and see what was wrong with this bean.

Yuru took it, only tossed it in her hand once, and said without thinking: "This bean has been hollowed out, and I am only afraid of some fame inside." If you want to know the details, you need to open it and look at it. ”

"Then open it." Mei Niang said immediately.

As it should be, Yu reached out and took out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing from his waist, and carefully cut it to cut the beans in half. Sure enough, it was hollow inside, but there was nothing left.

Yuru glanced at it twice, but was a little puzzled: "There is nothing?" It's weird......"

Mei Niang didn't answer, but just reached out and picked up the beans, looked left and right in the palm of her hand for a long time, and suddenly said lightly: "It's not that there is nothing, but it has been taken out." At one end, there was a pinpoint-sized mouth, with residual wax on it, and there were signs of melting, showing that something important had been put in it, and then it was taken out. ”

When Yuru Suqin saw it, she was also surprised, so Suqin said: "According to Princess Han, this thing was found by the people around her in King Han's mansion, but she couldn't find out what it was for...... My sister also knows that since the Shen Shu incident, King Han has almost stared at the princess's sister as a prisoner - if it weren't for the presence of the lord and his sister, and ordered Suqin to go to see Princess Han's sister from time to time, how much would it deter him...... I'm afraid that he will attack the princess's sister. ”

Mei Niang nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "So this kind of thing can be passed on to the princess so much, and she also sensed something wrong...... But what can a few beans hold? ”

"Could it be...... What is flowable? Such a small thing was pierced with such a small opening, and sealed with wax, so that it was evident that there was some kind of liquid in it. Yuru said a word, but it seemed to light a fire in Mei Niang's heart, and it burst into flames.

She stood up on the ground, was in a daze for a while, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Someone! Quickly invite Imperial Doctor Qin into the palace! Be quick! ”

……

It's night.

Zhenguan Temple.

Li Zhi calmly looked at the somewhat solemn look in front of him, and said for a while: "You go and pass the word to Mei Niang and tell him that I already know." I'll take care of the rest. Tell her not to worry. ”

The Virtue Award should claim to be.

Li Zhi continued: "Since this is the case, then I will not be allowed to enter the Palace of Eternal Life to accompany her these days. Therefore, I must have your wife, and from now on, I will accompany her for a few days, so that I can deal with these matters with peace of mind. ”

Li De Award replied again.

Li Zhi thought for a while, and then said, "Let my uncle know about this matter too!" said that in the past few days, Hong'er and Xian'er will have to take care of him. ”

"Yes, the little highness will stay with the mother."

"Hmm. Xian'er is still young and can't leave her mother. So you tell Shura Jian to follow Mei Niang these days. ”

"Yes."

"What about Murong Zheng?"

"He is still in Chengjiabao at this time, but I am afraid that he will not be able to return empty. It's strange to say that Cheng Jiabao has not had any major events that Miss Cheng can't control for many years. This is the first time in several years. ”

"It seems that he even counted Murong Zheng into it...... This time, he's afraid he's going to fight. That's right, Hong'er is growing up day by day, and he is deeply loved by the ministers. Xian'er is smart and smart, and Xian'er was born...... He wasn't in a hurry, but he shouldn't. Otherwise, how could he want to use such villains to spread such rumors to slander Mei Niang? Three children, if you can solve one, it's just one. ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "It's a pity that he chose the wrong person, and he expected the wrong person - but he never thought that it was a villain, and he also had the scheming and hesitation of a villain." ”

The Leeder Prize should claim to be.
