When Xiao Yi heard the news that Baoqin was almost taken captive, he knew that this should be a trap, but it was really hard to say whether this trap was for him or for the prince.

Xiao Yao and Xiao Li both came to King Liang's Mansion, and seeing that he had been undecided, Xiao Yao was a little anxious, "What is my brother still hesitating about?" If this news was revealed to Xiao Duo, he would definitely not waver anymore. ”

Xiao Yi glanced up at Xiao Yao, saw the excitement in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and fell into deep thought again. Xiao Yao wanted to say something more, but was persuaded by Xiao Li, "You let the eldest brother think again." ”

"What is there to think about," Xiao Yao frowned and asked a little impatiently, "When I first received this news, I also went to Qingwang's Mansion to investigate. Now that there is no Xiao Duo in King Qing's mansion, only one concubine is left in the mansion, and it is simply a plate of loose sand, and it is very easy to verify the news. What I inquired about was the same as the rumor. ”

"Big brother doesn't think this news is fake, or he thinks that someone is using us to kill people with a knife." Xiao Li saw that Xiao Yao thought things too simply, so he couldn't help but mention something.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked back and forth at the two brothers, "Who could it be?" ”

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind," Xiao Yi said suddenly, and put his hand on the cold stone table, "If we don't move, we may never know who this yellow finch is." ”

"What is the eldest brother going to do?" Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yi, calm as usual. However, Xiao Yao was a little nervous, he knew very well that what Xiao Yi hated most was the tricks of these calculators, and now he was treated as a chess piece on the chessboard. Xiao Yao was really worried, Xiao Yi would rather give up this low-hanging fruit opportunity than be manipulated by others.

"Dali Temple still has to go," Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and said helplessly: "Regardless of whether or not he will make wedding dresses for others, this king must also go this way." ”

When Xiao Yao heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he was the only one among the three who looked happy, "Big brother is right to think so." Without further ado, let's go to Dali Temple now. ”

"Don't worry, let's wait until nightfall." Xiao Yi picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took a sip, only to feel that the tea was a little cold, and he couldn't hide the bitter taste of the tea.

……

As soon as Shen Yu returned to the East Palace from Xinglin Garden, he saw Meng Yidi sitting in the garden in thin clothes, and Zhu'er was waiting on the side, and he didn't take the initiative to add clothes to Meng Yidi.

Shen Yu walked to Meng Yidi's side lightly, and looked at her in the distance in amazement, "Niangniang, it's late autumn now, and sitting here in such thin clothes is not conducive to your recovery." ”

When Meng Yidi heard this, he came back to his senses and looked at Shen Yu, "Are you back?" I also just woke up, and when I saw that you were not there, I suddenly felt empty in my heart. ”

Shen Yu listened to Meng Yidi's words, pursed his lips, and reached out to help Meng Yidi up from the cold stone bench, "The slave is back now, and I will accompany you into the house to talk for a while." ”

"Okay." Meng Yidi smiled and followed Shen Yu into the room. Zhu'er followed with her eyebrows lowered throughout the whole time, neither speaking nor showing any expression on her face, making people feel like a dispensable sculpture. The maid who was waiting for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to this extent also opened Shen Yu's eyes, "Ayu, sit down and talk to me." Otherwise, I don't know how to pass the time. ”

"If the mother has orders, the slave and maid will naturally obey them." Shen Yu said, first gave Meng Yidi a pulse, and then smiled: "What does Niang Niang want to talk to the slave maid today?" ”

"Tell me about the case that is making a lot of noise right now. Regarding the overturning of the case of corruption in Huainan County. Meng Yidi lowered his head and was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke.

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, she first subconsciously looked up at Zhu'er, and saw that the other party was just looking at her indifferently, with a clear conscience, and then turned her head sideways to look at Meng Yidi and said, "This is a matter in the court, how did Niangniang know about it?" ”

"You also know that this is a matter in the court, and the things in this court have already been reported to the harem, so it can be seen that everyone has known it for a long time," Meng Yidi replied in two pounds, directly ignoring Shen Yu's question, "When I first heard it, I was very surprised. I have some doubts, and I don't know who to ask to answer, so I can only ask you. ”

Shen Yu stood up with a frightened expression, and saluted Meng Yidi with Zhu'er: "The slave is frightened, how can He De let the mother look down on the slave and the maid so highly." ”

Meng Yidi saw her trembling and dealing with herself, and she didn't feel good in her heart, "You don't have to be afraid, we will also talk about these words in private, and no one else will know." ”

"Mother, things will always come to light, and the day the dust settles, it will be a matter of time. The most important thing for Niangniang now should be to take care of her body. Those things that will cause trouble to the mother, don't think about it first, right? Shen Yu comforted softly, not only for self-preservation, but also for the sake of Meng Yidi. In this deep palace, there are many capable people who solve problems for the queen and the prince, Meng Yidi's mind is too simple and upright, and he is not suitable for mixing into this mess of troubled waters.

"Actually...... I understand what you say...... It's just ......" Meng Yidi lowered his head, smiled bitterly, raised his hand listlessly towards Shen Yu and said, "Don't kneel, get up and talk." I don't ask anymore. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Shen Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up from the ground. As soon as she looked up, she saw Meng Yidi sitting on the edge of the bed and was distracted, so she thought about saying some good news to make her happy, "Niangniang, just now the slave maid went to Xinglin Yuan to ask Wei Yuanzheng for some things." Wei Yuanzheng listened to the slave's description of Niangniang's recent situation, and also said that Niangniang's palace cold disease should be half better. In a few days, you will be able to use the soup again. ”

When Meng Yidi heard this, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of resistance, "No, I don't want to drink that thing again." ”

"Niangniang......" Shen Yu looked at Meng Yidi, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, so he had to stop, "Niangniang, you have a good rest first, and no matter whether you want to drink this Qiuzi soup or not, the wind cold always has to be cured first." The slave will go down and give you the medicine. ”

After appeasing Meng Yidi, she exited the room. Just as she was about to go in the direction of the small kitchen, Zhu'er stopped her, "Shen Yu, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is so resistant to drinking Qiuzi soup, you should persuade her more." What you say, the mother can listen to it somewhat. ”

When Shen Yu heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhu'er, although there was a smile on his face, but this smile did not give people a warm feeling, but a little cold and alienated, "Speaking of this, I still feel strange." How did this matter in the court reach the ears of the mother? ”

Zhu'er looked at Shen Yu, but also calmly, "You don't have to look at me like this, she is the crown princess, this matter involves the prince, she will know sooner or later." ”

"Oh, how much does that lady know?" Shen Yu asked again.

Zhu'er stared at Shen Yu expressionlessly for a long time, "We are slaves, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to know less about our masters." Doctor Shen, you are so smart and icy, you should also understand what I mean by this. ”

"Naturally, that's the case. It's just that Zhu'er wants me to persuade Niangniang, I have to know more clearly before I can open this mouth, right? ”

"This morning, the queen summoned the queen to come over, and after talking for a while, she came back, and she was a matter of front and back feet with you."

When Shen Yu heard this, he chuckled in his heart, "What do you mean......"

Although Niangniang did not say it very bluntly, she still told Niangniang about the stakes involved in the Huainan County case. When she came back, she sat in the garden until you returned. ”

"I see...... I will try my best to persuade me, but how I do it after that ultimately depends on what the mother wants. Shen Yu nodded and turned to leave.

Zhu'er took a step forward and stopped her, "This time the queen mother has a complete showdown with the crown princess, since she is the crown princess, some things can no longer be controlled by her temperament." On this point, I hope you can make the mother understand. ”

"Zhu'er, Niangniang doesn't necessarily don't understand. It's just that in some ways, I'm a little stubborn," Shen Yu sighed, turned his face sideways and said to Zhu'er standing behind her: "This is not necessarily a good thing, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Zhu'er frowned and looked at Shen Yu, listening as if she didn't understand, "Who are you?" ”

"The slave's name is Shen Yu, she used to be a medical girl in Xinglin Yuan, but now she is just an ordinary palace maid serving by Niangniang's side. These things, Zhu'er should be very clear. Shen Yuwan smiled and replied.

……

After talking to Meng Yidi early in the morning, Zhu Liangxin's old illness relapsed and he had a splitting headache. Mama Kong looked at her distressedly, and while giving her a scent, she proposed softly: "Niangniang, let's ask the doctor of Xinglinyuan to take a look." ”

"No, I don't. Since the main palace has this problem, I have invited them to come over to see this stubborn disease no less than a hundred times, but it is useless," Zhu Liangxin closed his eyes and replied irritably: "If the people around Ah Shuo can be more alert, I don't have to worry so much." ”

Mama Kong knew that she meant something, thinking of Meng Yidi's pale face, she couldn't help but shake her head, "Princess, she ......"

"If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, why would this palace have to persecute her with such fanfare?" Speaking of this, Zhu Liangxin opened his eyes, his gaze was cold, "Does she think the position of the crown princess is so easy to occupy?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Liangxin only felt another throbbing pain in her head, she gritted her teeth and endured this wave of pain, and then said, "There's news from the eldest brother." ”

Mama Kong withdrew her hands and clasped them in front of her, and shook her head gently. Seeing this, Zhu Liangxin breathed a sigh of relief, and his body, which usually sat straight, also relaxed, "It seems that we have to prepare for the worst." ”

"Yes." Mama Kong owed to the queen and didn't say anything more.

……

As Xiao Zhan expected, a few days later, Xiao Duo suddenly testified that the crown prince Xiao Shuo was the mastermind behind the scenes. For a moment, the government and the opposition were in an uproar. I didn't expect that this case in Huainan County could be involved in so many things after further investigation, and even affected the two princes at once.

Zhu Liangxin was not very surprised when she first got the news, she clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white, and only after a while did she grit her teeth and laugh, "Okay, that's really good." These sons of the saint are all like wolves and tigers, and they are no longer the weak young men who were at the beginning. ”

Mama Kong looked at Zhu Liangxin with a solemn expression, there was no outsider in Jichang Palace at this time, and the queen naturally didn't have to shy away from saying such things, she was worried about other things, "Niangniang, if this news is true, then we don't have much time." ”

Zhu Liangxin's expression was gloomy, but his eyes were extremely firm, "You take someone to the East Palace today and let Da Meng drink that bowl of medicine." ”

"Yes." Mama Kong bowed slightly, and then retreated quickly.

……

In the East Palace, Xiao Shuo has not yet returned from Chaoshang. Meng Yidi was sitting in front of the window embroidering, suddenly her fingertips tingled, and when she came back to her senses, a few drops of blood had stained the white silk.

Meng Yidi looked at the bright red color and looked stunned, only felt a sigh in his heart, but he didn't know why. Shen Yuzheng came in with a cup of medicinal food, and when she saw her so hurriedly put down the medicinal Gu, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hearing Shen Yu's words, Meng Yidi came back to his senses and said softly: "It's not in the way, I was stabbed by an embroidery needle just now." I haven't done it for a long time, and I'm a little clumsy. ”

With that, she set aside the embroidered silk cloth.

"Mother, the slave will deal with it for you." Shen Yu gently pinched her slender fingers, and saw that the blood had gradually solidified, so she wanted to take some medicinal wine over and clean it up again for Meng Yidi, and just turned around to go out, she saw Mama Kong coming in with Zhu'er. Seeing this, Shen Yu immediately knelt down, "I've seen Mama." ”

"Well, you go out first. The old slave came at the mouth of the queen's mother, and there were some things to say to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Mama Kong said to Shen Yu, Shen Yu stood up, and saw that Zhu'er had no intention of leaving, so she knew that this matter was not so simple.

But now is not the time to be hard-hitting, she can only see tricks. So she pretended to be ignorant, looked at Zhu'er and said seriously, "Zhu'er, let's go out together."

Hearing this, Zhu'er raised her head and glanced at Shen Yu deeply, then lowered her head again, and their eyes met on the bowl of soup and medicine that Zhu'er was holding.

"She stays and waits with the old slave, you go and guard the door." Mama Kong glanced back at Shen Yu, but she was not annoyed and angry, but still reminded her in a good-natured manner.

However, Shen Yu did not appreciate it. She still looked at Zhu'er stubbornly, with a smile on her lips, "Zhu'er, I do the work of decoction on weekdays, I don't remember that I asked you to do it for me today." ”

"You ......" Speaking of this, Mama Kong also saw that this girl did not plan to leave. She turned her head sideways, looked at Shen Yu coldly, and was about to say something, but Meng Yidi, who was sitting in the room, slowly spoke.

"Ayu, don't mess around, you go and guard the door."

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, she turned her head to look at Meng Yidi, knowing that she was protecting herself. She bit her lip, saluted the crown princess, and then left the room.

Mama Kong turned her head to look at Meng Yidi, and became the gentle and approachable old lady on weekdays, "The crown princess has a good slave who is loyal. ”

Meng Yidi smiled, glanced at Zhu'er, who bowed his head and was silent, and then said: "The hearts of ninjas are flesh and blood, and this palace has not treated them badly, so they will naturally not treat this palace badly." Between Mama Kong and the queen mother, it is probably the same. That, that's what the queen mother said to the palace a few days ago, is that kind of medicine? ”

Meng Yidi raised his head and asked.

Mama Kong didn't answer her question, but just motioned to Zhu'er to bring the decoction to Meng Yidi, "Niangniang also heard that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is not in good health, so I specially asked Xinglin Yuanzheng to give a pair of decoction to Niangniang to use to replenish your body." Mother, drink it while it's hot. ”

Meng Yidi looked at the decoction that had been brought to him, and asked gently, "What if this palace doesn't drink it." ”

"The mother drinks it herself, and the slave waits for the mother to drink, and the result is the same."

Meng Yidi listened to Mama Kong's words, her body trembled, she raised her eyes to look at Mama Kong, and only felt that the seemingly gentle smile on her face was not cold and sarcastic.

Mama Kong didn't seem to be worried that she wouldn't drink this dose of medicine, and when she saw that she didn't move, she waited quietly. After a long time, Meng Yidi trembled and stretched out his hand and took the bowl of medicine into his hand.

Seeing this, Mama Kong's expression became even more gentle, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is a painful person, if the Crown Prince can escape this catastrophe safely in the future, Niangniang and the Crown Prince will definitely remember the good of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." ”

Meng Yidi listened to Mama Kong's words, she didn't feel comforted, she only felt that she had been greatly insulted, she drank the decoction with tears in her eyes, and threw the empty bowl on the tray held by Zhu'er, "In this way, Mama Kong can go back to her life." ”

"Yes, the old slave will not disturb the mother's rest here, and the slave and maid will retire." With that, Mama Kong turned around and walked out, but Zhu'er had no intention of leaving.

Meng Yidi glared at Zhu'er, who had an indifferent face, and clenched his hands into fists and said, "You can also get out." ”

Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, this was the first time Meng Yidi had ordered her with such vulgar words. She bowed to him and walked out with a tray with a blank face.

Shen Yu stood guard outside the door, and when she saw Mama Kong and Zhu'er leaving one after another, she hurriedly entered the room, "Niangniang, what did they feed you?" ”

"It's okay, it's not poison," Meng Yidi replied in despair, Shen Yu was still a little uneasy when he heard this, and reached out to check her pulse, but found that everything was normal.

She looked at Meng Yidi suspiciously, and saw that she had a sad expression that was more than dead, "Niangniang...... Your body, it looks like everything is normal. ”

"Well, I know," Meng Yidi put away his wrist and said, "But after a few days, it won't be normal." When the time comes, no matter which doctor comes to check the pulse, he will find out that I am pregnant. ”

"What?" Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, she understood what Zhu Liangxin fed Meng Yidi, "Queen Mother, she ......"

"She said that this is the only way to save Ah Shuo," Meng Yidi finally had some reaction when he mentioned the prince. Shen Yu saw that her body was trembling violently, so he got up and hugged her, "I'm confused, why?" As the crown prince, what mistake did he make to escape the crime in such a way? What kind of person is he...... Ayu, how did things come to this, why did they come to this, why did they come to this? ”

Shen Yu frowned and gently patted Meng Yidi's back, trying to calm down her excited emotions, but she couldn't say a word of comfort, "Niangniang, since it is a medicine used to disrupt the hearing and hearing, I think it will have no effect on your body." At this point, you don't have to be too sad, it's still your body that matters. ”

Meng Yidi listened to her words, but did not respond, just cried vigorously. Shen Yu knew that she was wronged, so she stopped persuading.

……

That night, the news that Meng Yidi was forced to drink this medicine reached Ah Jin's ears. Ah Jin lowered his head and folded the note in his hand, while repeatedly thinking about whether to disclose this matter to Song Wenyu.

Just when she was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Ah Jin heard this movement, opened the incense burner, threw the note in, and just closed the lid, Song Wenyu had already come in.

"It's raining outside?" Ah Jin turned his head to look at Song Wenyu, and when he saw that his dark robe was covered with a layer of water droplets, he asked.

"Yes, it's all drizzle, so sitting in the room, I can't hear the sound, and the umbrella doesn't do much." Song Wenyu said, first walked to the screen and took off the coat, then sat down in front of Ah Jin, put his hands on the incense burner and roasted it.

"Look at you've been busy again for a while, and the case has progressed?"

At the mention of this incident, Song Wenyu's eyes lit up, "Well, Xiao Duo has confessed." ”

"Oh, then how did you arrange for the piano?" With this result, Ah Jin is not surprised. Don't say Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhan will definitely not let go of this opportunity. She didn't care if she could pull Xiao Shuo off the horse, she just cared a little about the safety of Baoqin and the child in her belly.

"Xiao Duo proposed and asked us to send troops to protect King Qing's Mansion. King Run's excerpt was invited, and the sage agreed," Song Wenyu thought for a while, and said: "This time, the sage will also mention Ateng as the president of the forbidden army." ”

"Guessed right, it should be Ah Teng leading troops to protect King Qing's Mansion?" Seeing that Song Wenyu deliberately mentioned this, Ah Jin propped his chin and said thoughtfully: "I am afraid that it is not the saint who wants to release Xiao Duo from Dali Temple for the time being and put him under house arrest in King Qing's Mansion." ”

Song Wenyu listened to Ah Jin's analysis and gave her a thumbs up, "It's exactly the same." ”

Ah Jin gave him a blank look, ignoring his sycophancy. The matter about Meng Yidi is on my mind again. Song Wenyu saw that she was duller than usual, so he leaned over and said softly, "What's wrong?" See you have something on your mind? Is it a loss in business? Or is it because I've been with you too little during this time? ”

“…… Wen Yu, I was suddenly thinking, if it's this time, I mean if...... The crown princess or Xiao Meng is pregnant at this time, will the saint still deal with the prince vigorously? ”

Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and his expression became extremely serious, "Why did you suddenly ask this question?" Do you know something? ”

"I just thought of it out of the blue." Ah Jin blew up, she felt a little uncomfortable about Song Wenyu's changing face. I always felt that the reason why he was so flustered was not because he couldn't deal with Xiao Shuo, but because of Meng Yidi, who was being used.

Song Wenyu stood up and paced back and forth in the room, Ah Jin just looked up at him, and suddenly he stood still, turned his head to look at her, and said, "If this is the case, they must have been prepared...... It can be regarded as the destiny of heaven. ”

"Hmm." Ah Jin lowered his eyes and didn't look at Song Wenyu again, but he was secretly thinking in his heart about when he would meet Shen Yu again.
