"However, why did Lin Luan help the Bai family?" Meng Hongyu was still puzzled, his brows were tightly knit, he meditated, and his handsome face gradually wrinkled like a bitter melon. %&*";

"In the end, what kind of power is so great that the Lin family and the Bai family can put aside their hatred and help each other? Could it be that the Lin family intends to win over the Bai family, after all, the Bai family also holds a certain amount of military power in their hands......"

Thinking of this, Meng Hongyu couldn't help but shudder - could it? The Lin family intends to rebel?

Although the Queen Mother has always trusted the Lin family highly, just like when the Queen Mother didn't let him make Xiao Ziling the queen, she said that if the Xiao family was a relative, it would threaten his country, and now, the Lin family is also a relative! Moreover, the Lin family was already strong enough to threaten his country!

"Lu Yao, you continue to investigate this matter and find out to me why Lin Lu'an wanted to save Bai Zhongming!" Meng Hongyu ordered Lu Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, "Also, be careful not to startle the snake." ”

"Obedience!" Lu Yao kowtowed and got up, and left with the order - he had already heard the seriousness of this matter from Meng Hongyu's tone, and it seemed that he had to investigate overnight!

It is said that when the Queen Mother and Meng Hongyu's mother and son planned Xiao Zixun's "collusion with the Huns to rebel", no third party knew. When the Queen Mother instructed Lin Lu'an to arrange for someone to accuse Xiao Zixun, she did not explain her true intention to frame Xiao Zixun. Unexpectedly, Lin Lu'an thought that the emperor was finally going to start suppressing the Xiao family, which was really a good time to fall into the ground! In the past few days, he has been diligent in and out of Cining Palace, and strongly persuaded the Queen Mother to take advantage of this matter to cut off the military power in Xiao Zixun's hands.

One day, when he went to the court, several ministers led by Li Zhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, jointly asked for the removal of Xiao Zixun's military power, and Meng Hongyu knew that Lin Luan must have instructed them behind his back, so he was noncommittal. %&*";

After leaving the court, Meng Hongyu went straight to Cining Palace, wanting to "discuss" the matter with the Queen Mother. When he arrived at Guangshou Hall, the palace maids of Cining Palace told him that the Queen Mother was unwell today and was lying on the bed.

Meng Hongyu went to the Queen Mother's bedroom, and when he arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, he saw Lin Yueyao with a five-month-old belly waiting at the Queen Mother's bedside.

Seeing Meng Hongyu coming, Lin Yueyao hurriedly handed the water in her hand to Aunt Shu Wen, and greeted Meng Hongyu happily: "Cousin Emperor, why are you here?" ”

Meng Hongyu nodded at her and told her to retreat, she reluctantly secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, who also nodded at her and said softly: "Yao'er, you can go back to the room to rest and rest first, and the mourning family has Shu Wen waiting for you." ”

Every time the emperor's cousin came, he didn't talk to me properly-Lin Yueyao pouted unhappily, and let the personal palace maid Mu Xue carefully help her down. The palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied them also retreated with interest, and only Aunt Shuwen was left in the room to serve.

Aunt Shuwen moved the sandalwood red lacquer stool and put it at the head of the bed, and Meng Hongyu sat down in front of the queen mother, and said with concern: "The queen mother is unwell, why don't you send someone to tell her son?" Is it rumored that the Imperial Doctor has seen it? ”

The Queen Mother shook her head lovingly, looked at Meng Hongyu's eyebrows with faint worry, and said with relief: "The imperial doctor has seen it, and said that it is not in the way!" The emperor is busy with state affairs, and the mourning family can't help with anything, so how can he still worry about the emperor. ”

"It's good if it's not in the way, and the ministers there will not be filial to use state affairs to worry about the queen mother." Meng Hongyu said half-jokingly, "Today, there is a joint concert by ministers asking for Xiao Zixun's military power to be cut, what does the queen mother think of this matter?" ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help coughing, and Aunt Shuwen hurriedly patted her back gently, and handed her a glass of warm honey water to moisten her throat. After drinking the water, the Queen Mother said faintly: "What else can the Queen Mother think?" Your uncle must have been at the instigation of this. ”

Meng Hongyu lowered his head and groaned slightly, and then asked with a serious face: "Does the queen mother think that I should cut the Xiao family's military power?" After asking so solemnly, he pretended to be "just asking casually", but he waited for the Queen Mother's answer earnestly, because the Queen Mother's answer was related to whether she was on her side or on the Lin family's side!

However, the Queen Mother did not answer, she shook her head weakly, then closed her eyes and quietly leaned on the bed rail and gasped, for a long time, she said weakly: "Look at the mourning family, my head is dizzy all day long, and I don't have the strength to share the worries of the emperor, after all, the emperor, you are the emperor, you should weigh the pros and cons yourself, and judge the situation." ”

The Queen Mother is a veteran of power schemes who has experienced wind and rain, how could she not hear the temptation in her son's words? She knew that for a long time, Meng Hongyu had not only guarded against the Xiao family, but also against the Lin family, otherwise, how could he be reluctant to make the daughter of the Lin family the queen?

His delaying tactics have been used since Lin Yueyu first entered the palace, although he had promised himself that if Lin Yueyao gave birth to a prince, he would make Lin Yueyao the queen, but she knew that if Lin Yueyao really gave birth to the prince, Meng Hongyu would still have a way not to make Lin Yueyao the queen at that time!

Over the years, in order to establish the queen, she has fought, quarreled, and fought with her son, but she has not been able to make him the daughter of the Lin family the queen, but it has backfired to make him more and more defensive and disgusted with the Lin family. And now, he actually tested his mother? How could she not know? At this time, if she really wanted to help the Lin family, the best way was to never meddle in this matter and let Meng Hongyu decide for herself.

The Queen Mother knew that Meng Hongyu did not want to cut off the military power in Xiao Zixun's hands as the Lin family wished, because, over the years, Meng Hongyu had been watching the Xiao family and the Lin family fight in secret, and the two families restrained each other and hindered each other. And if one of them wins, it's in full control! Then, the family that has full power must start plotting against the Meng family next......

"Since the queen mother is tired, let's rest early!" Meng Hongyu got up and said goodbye, "Erchen will come to visit his mother tomorrow." ”

When Meng Hongyu walked away and could no longer hear his footsteps, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and said to Aunt Shu Wen in a mournful tone: "Shu Wen, the mourning family regrets it now...... I regret letting Yu'er and Yao'er enter the palace......"

Aunt Shu Wen stood aside and listened quietly, she knew that her duty at this time was to be a qualified listener and listen to the Queen Mother tell her about the pain in her heart.

The corners of the Queen Mother's eyes glistened with tears, she coughed lightly, and continued: "Even if the mourning family buried their lives in this human purgatory, why did they harm Yu'er and Yao'er...... It's all the fault of the mourners...... For women, the most important thing is not power and status, but to find a man who truly loves them......"

"If it weren't for the mourning family to let them enter the palace, Yu'er would not have learned conspiracy methods in this filthy place and become a femme fatale, nor would she gradually lose herself and end up in the flames...... Yao'er will not lose her original innocence and become so ruthless...... The mourning family knew that Concubine Rong was killed by her......"

There was a crisp sound of porcelain breaking outside the door, and then a strong smell of medicine gradually diffused in the air......
