De'an breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the palace, only to find that those ministers had already retreated just now, knowing that it must be Li Zhi who saw the report from the Lizheng Palace, and felt uneasy, so he found an excuse to send them down to change clothes or something......

So he hurriedly stepped forward, and without waiting for Li Zhi to speak, he told Li Zhi about the matter that had just been reported by the Lizheng Palace, and his own disposition, and asked Li Zhi to surrender his crime of declaring the holy will on his behalf.

As he expected, Li Zhi shook his head and said:

"It's good that you deal with it like this, why should I punish you? Get up! ”

Only then did Dean let out a sigh of relief, got up and said:

"But Lord, what the queen did this time, did she really want to ask the mother to speak for her father?

Why does De'an think that with the queen's temperament, he may not be willing? ”

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, but slowly shook his head and said:

"At the moment, I can't be qualified......

After all, there is still a matter of loyalty.

She has some affection for Zhong'er, and I can't see through it.

Maybe she will beg Mei Niang for the sake of Zhong'er.

This is one of them.

Moreover, with your master's daily arrangements, she is now not as rational and calm as when she first entered the palace, and she is afraid that she will inevitably do something wrong in her ignorance......

She can't be blamed for that. ”

Li Zhi sighed, shook his head and said:

"After all, your master behaves like that......

It is also a knot in the hearts of me and Mei Niang. ”

De Anxin knew that Li Zhi and Mei Niang had been the most helpless but also the most had to accept that Wang De had been drugging the queen's diet for several years.

But in the end, he is closer to Wang De and can better understand Wang De's feelings, so he is very disapproving.

However, in the end, Li Zhi has something to say, and it is not easy to refute it, but Nuo Nuo should be.

Li Zhi propped his forehead, glanced at the timepiece, nodded and said:

"Well, you've arranged it right. The ministers are coming back soon. That's it!

What's the matter, I'll go back to the Lizheng Hall tonight and speak again. ”

Dean Yingnuo.

……

At the same time.

In the Imperial Garden.

After all, Queen Wang still saw Wu Meiniang-

This woman who makes her hate to the bone, but also envy her.

is different from when I saw her in the Lizheng Palace, Wu Meiniang at this moment, dressed in fresh clothes and bright crowns, although she has given birth to two sons, she has not lost her appearance at all, but she is so carefully raised, which brings her a bit of pitiful charm that she has never seen in her before......

The queen had to hold her hands tightly in her wide sleeves to restrain herself from pushing her, and to laugh at the embarrassed appearance of her falling to the ground.

Mei Niang looked at her face, how could she not realize her anger and jealousy that was stretched and eager to be vented under the calm on the surface?

Therefore, she had no intention of delaying, so she bowed slightly, and said:

"I don't know what is the matter with Niangniang Xuanmei Niang so far?"

Seeing her say so bluntly, Queen Wang also understood in her heart that she really intended to avoid her edge, gritted her teeth, she pressed the anger in her heart, and said with a faint smile:

"Bengong originally wanted to say that there was nothing to do, but he intended to meet with Zhaoyi and say a few words of self-consideration......

However, Zhaoyi is also a smart person, and if such an official tone is beaten, I am afraid that it will make Zhaoyi disliked.

Well, this palace said bluntly:

Wu Zhaoyi, this palace still hopes that you will read it for the servants of Liu Palace back then, and protect Zhong'er for her this time! ”

Although Mei Niang had also thought of thousands of reasons why the queen was in a hurry to see her on the way here, she also thought about it once, could it be because of Li Zhong......

But when she said such words from the mouth of the queen with her own ears, she was still stunned.

After a long moment, she hesitated:

"What does Niangniang mean ......

Do you want Zhaoyi to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for you? ”

Queen Wang gritted her teeth and lowered her voice;

"Not bad......

At present, among the mother family of this palace, there are frequent incidents.

There are few people to rely on who can speak.

Thinking about it, I can only count on Wu Zhaoyi to you, and you can still remember the little affection with the child's biological mother in the old days, and help him to get out of this crisis. ”

Mei Niang looked at her steadily, and said suddenly:

"Why did the mother choose Mei Niang? There are still many palace concubines in the palace who can be guarantors for Niangniang. It's the mother herself......"

"The palace will go out on its own, or Your Majesty will have to pardon Zhong'er in the name of the queen.

But in this way, Zhong'er left a grateful and arrogant impression in His Majesty's mind, that is, he could not escape.

Bengong knew that Zhong'er acted this way just because he was angry and had the intention to humiliate Bengong and his biological mother, how could he let the child bear such a reputation and leave such a bad mark in the eyes of his father?

Yes, I can only ask Wu Zhaoyi for your help.

After all......"

She lowered her head and smiled sadly at an angle that Mei Niang couldn't see, but she blocked her sadness behind her beautiful makeup and hair, and then raised her head, looked directly at Mei Niang, and said sincerely:

"After all, the only person who can make His Majesty believe without doubt at the moment is Wu Zhaoyi."

Mei Niang looked at her, and suddenly said:

"Niangniang just wants to intercede for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and forgive him for lifting the grounding as soon as possible?"

"Yes."

"I haven't thought about it at all, to use this matter to revive the mind of the mother's mother?"

"Since the day I married into the East Palace, this palace has always kept a sentence in mind," Queen Wang said indifferently:

"Once I married into the Li family, I was just a Li family member all my life. The glory of the maternal family is just for the palace to be able to help her husband and get some benefits. This thought is that the world does not know, as long as the palace itself is clear, it is enough. ”

Mei Niang looked at her intently, and suddenly said for a while:

"Okay, Mei Niang knows, Mei Niang will definitely handle this matter for Niangniang."

It's night.

Tai Chi Palace.

In the Imperial Palace.

Mei Niang took Li Hong to the apse and slept early, but she snuggled on the couch, while carelessly making a small coat for the unborn child in her womb, while looking out of the hall from time to time.

After a while, the person she was waiting for arrived.

When Li Zhi saw her, he swept away the exhaustion of his body and mind, so he came up and sat down with a smile, hugged her in his arms and asked:

"What are you doing?"

"You just hugged it......

Aren't you afraid of being pricked with a needle? ”

Mei Niang angrily grabbed him, but she couldn't open it, so she simply didn't hold it, so she sat straight on the couch and looked at Li Zhidao sideways:

"Why is it so early today?"

Li Zhichang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Today's affairs are not complicated, so I will come to see you earlier.

Why, don't you want me to come back to see you sooner? ”

Mei Niang pushed him with a smile.

The two of them were tender and sweet for a moment, and the topic was inevitably mentioned by Li Zhi, and turned to Queen Wang's actions this afternoon:

"I heard......

This afternoon, the queen looked for you? ”

Mei Niang raised her eyes to look at him and nodded:

"Hmm. After saying a few words, he came back without a long delay. ”

Li Zhi nodded:

"You know it's good to keep care of yourself.

That...... Is she looking for you, is it for Wang Renyou, or for herself? ”

"Neither."

Mei Niang's answer made Li Zhi a little surprised:

"Neither? Who is that for? ”

"For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Zhi's eyes widened:

"Zhong'er?"

Mei Niang nodded, and repeated what the queen said this afternoon to Li Zhi word for word, and then said:

"I didn't expect that either...... She was willing to ask for help from me, the person she hated the most in her life, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Li Zhi was also silent for a long time, and then said for a long time:

"Zhong'er is indeed pitiful—in fact, I know everything that should be done. But when I asked him that day, he refused to answer.

In addition, Concubine Shu made a tight fuss, and King Yong was indeed injured, so I had to do this.

Now that I think about it, isn't there something wrong with it?

So, what do you mean? ”

"Since Jiro has this heart, then forgive His Royal Highness the Prince!

In the final analysis, whether this matter was provoked by His Royal Highness King Yong first. ”

Mei Niang said lightly:

"It's just that how to forgive the law, I still have to worry about it."
