Song Huaci seemed to be startled, and after slowing down, he said: "When I was outside the city just now, thank you, I ......"

It turned out to be for this, Meng Zhaoyan interrupted her with a smile, "It's okay, protecting you is something I promised from the beginning, no need to thank you." ”

Song Huaci lowered his head, sighed lightly, and said, "I still want to thank you, it's just ...... It's just that my sister was seriously injured, and I didn't protect her......"

Meng Zhaoyan's brows jumped, knowing that Song Huaci didn't mean to blame herself, but she didn't want to see her blame herself, "Miss Song San turned the danger into a disaster, don't worry too much about the ancestral hall." ”

"I understand, if I hadn't insisted on going out, this wouldn't have happened, you were right at the beginning, and I still refuted you like that, I'm really ......"

Song Huaci was a little annoyed as she spoke, Meng Zhaoyan gently tapped her unconsciously clenched fist with her index knuckle, and comforted: "You are naturally at fault when you talk about this matter, but in the final analysis, it is still the thieves who are eyeing us, we can't prevent it, don't have these thoughts in the future." ”

He stared sideways, stared at the Song Painting Temple, and continued: "I have wronged you during this time, and after the rumors have passed, there is no need to be so grassy and woody." ”

Song Huaci shook his head and said, "Don't be wronged." ”

Meng Zhaoyan smiled, "Don't be aggrieved, who is the person who called me a few days ago?" ”

Song Huaci glared at him, couldn't help laughing, and only said, "What's wrong with me?" Do you still want to beat me? ”

"How dare you ......"

The two tacitly walked together, and under the sun, two shadows fell to the ground, entangled constantly.

Shen Yanxiu really had something to do, he met with Ling Chi's envoys, mentioned what happened today, touched his chin with one hand and pondered, and said: "My identity has been exposed now, and I can't continue to lurk here, tomorrow, you will follow me into Beijing, we will reveal our identity and meet Emperor Cangli." ”

The envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not appropriate......

"What's wrong?"

"Cangli Lingblazing is independent, and has not fought for many years, but now we are here, but there is no reason ......"

Shen Yanxiu stretched out his hand to block his words and said, "But it's just that a friendly country is coming to the court, adults don't have to think about it." ”

He chuckled, and the face of the Song Painting Temple flashed in his mind in a hurry, and his heart screamed strangely, and he quickly threw out the thought.

Shen Yanxiu asked someone to send the worship sticker into Beijing, and the worship sticker stamped with the seal of Emperor Ling Chi entered the inner courtyard of the palace unimpeded, and the first person to know the news was Yin Shang, he was silent and handed the worship sticker to the imperial study, his eyes were obscure.

The emperor rubbed his head, pointed to the paste, and frowned: "What kind of mess is this Ling Chi coming to add to ......?"

Taiqi Fang was optimistic about the tea, brought it to the emperor, and said with a smile: "Now that Cangli is strong, it is incomparable to Ling Chi, it seems that he just wants to show sincerity, and His Majesty does not need to worry......

The emperor nodded, he also thought so, the headache was that the parties in the court were crowded, but I was afraid that this Shen Yanxiu would have to intervene if he didn't know the times, and then it would not be just a civil strife.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "When the four princes of Ling Chi come to the court, who should go to greet them......

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not good at taking it out, even the one that is locked up in the palace can't lose Your Majesty's face......"

This is almost explicit, but it also hits the emperor's heart.

The emperor glanced at Taiqi, shook his eyebrows, and said, "Draw up a decree." ”

Meng Lianfeng was holding the Taifu to talk on the stage, he was already bored with idle books, and when the holy decree came down, Meng Lianfeng couldn't hide his smile.

In the past few days that the emperor has locked him up, Meng Lianfeng has also patronized the calculating people, anyway, he has not reflected on anything.

Now that the emperor has finally released the man, it is time for him to move his muscles.

Of course, the first thing Meng Lianfeng wanted to see was the emperor, and only after meeting the emperor did he know what it was for.

"The ministers will negotiate with the Ministry of Rites, and they will meet each other ten miles outside the city, and they will never lose the face of the Cangli Dynasty!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead." ”

Meng Lianfeng went straight to the Ministry of Rites when he got the news, and the Ministry of Rites had already greeted him, and by the way, he also found an oil head, and there were also Yin Shang.

The Ministry of Rites left an empty room to talk to the two of them, and no one else retreated one by one.

"The assassination of Meng Zhaoyan failed again." Yin Shang came up with this sentence.

Meng Lianfeng's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it, "Why did you fail again, didn't you send two hundred more people this time?" ”

Yin Shang's face was ugly, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Meng Zhaoyan took precautions in advance and scattered our people a lot, and he knew in advance, and the timing was not right. ”

Meng Lianfeng gritted his teeth, "Meng Zhaoyan! ”

Yin Shang had a headache, sat down and stroked his forehead, "It's not important, the assassination is not completely certain, the main thing is to expose the strength, I'm afraid that Meng Zhaoyan knows a little bit about us." ”

"What then?"

Yin Shang shook his head and said: "It's just this step, it's not to the point of fiasco, you received an order to welcome the four princes of Ling Chi, which means that the emperor is completely going to let you out of the palace, this is good news, this matter is done, it is good to show your face in front of the emperor and kill Meng Zhaoyan's sharp spirit." ”

Yin Shang looked at him and said tightly: "The Ministry of Rites is mostly our people, I have already taken care of it, Shen Yan's cultivation into Beijing represents Ling Chi, both good and evil, and it depends on how we use it." ”

"Utilization?"

"Exactly, the emperor is not as good as before, and I don't know when he will go, but the emperor has not yet established a prince, and no matter who ascends the throne at that time, he will definitely be infamous, and you will use this Shen Yanxiu to seize the opportunity to make the emperor's impression of you better, and in the future, he will know that his life is short, and he is not afraid that he will indulge in power."

Meng Lianfeng was shocked and said, "Uncle, you are ......"

Yin Shang nodded silently.

The two looked at each other, and both understood.

The next day, Shen Yanxiu wore a brocade robe and met Meng Lianfeng at the official road outside the city, Shen Yanxiu politely greeted him, but Meng Lianfeng looked arrogant and unceremoniously, the Ministry of Rites wiped the sweat on his forehead, and found the right time to diverge and said: "The four princes of Ling Chi are tired of traveling and driving, you might as well go to Beijing to rest, and the emperor will set up a banquet for the four princes in the palace at night, and invite the four princes." ”

Shen Yanxiu had already been so cold by Meng Lianfeng that he was too lazy to deal with him, so he responded directly: "In this way, Master Lao will lead the way." ”

Today, Yin Shang came together, and Meng Lianfeng also seemed to have no backbone, everyone except politely respectful to him, but did not lead the topic to him, which unknowingly snubbed him.

Until Shen Yan entered the palace.

There were not a few officials who greeted him, and Meng Zhaoyan didn't need to inquire about the news and gradually reached his ears, and when he heard this, he just smiled lightly and said coldly: "I know that I will learn from his mother to do something that praises the high and the low......

Zhou Zhun didn't answer, he didn't have the right to speak like this, he just lowered his head and stood under Meng Zhaoyan.

Meng Zhaoyan asked again, "Is there any news in the palace?" ”

Zhou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, it is estimated that someone will come in a while." ”

Meng Zhaoyan nodded, straightened his sleeves, and said, "You go first, send a letter to Wang Qingtong, and we will meet this Ling Chi Fourth Prince." ”
