Meng Hongyu went to Cining Palace with a stomach full of doubts and anger, and when he arrived at Cining Palace, Aunt Shuwen said that the Queen Mother was copying scriptures in the study, and Meng Hongyu went to the study. %&*";

Seeing Meng Hongyu coming, the Queen Mother put down the pen in her hand and said with a smile: "Why is the emperor ...... today" Before the words were finished, the Queen Mother noticed the gloom in Meng Hongyu's eyes, and hurriedly asked him anxiously: "What's wrong?" Why does the emperor look abnormal? ”

"Someone deliberately delivered a letter to Yongle Palace, but Ling'er couldn't withstand the blow of the death of Concubine Rong (after Su Zirong's death, she was posthumously named a virtuous concubine by Meng Hongyu) and fainted." Meng Hongyu said coldly, it seemed that he was telling the truth to the Queen Mother, but it was actually a kind of spying.

"The mourning family also heard about this, and the imperial doctor said that Concubine Xiao Guifei was fine, and the mourning family was relieved." The Queen Mother said.

"Is the queen mother really relieved, or is she disappointed?" Meng Hongyu couldn't care about the filial piety of his sons, and his tone was cold and mocking.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face changed greatly, her brows were tightly locked, and she asked Meng Hongyu angrily: "What does the emperor mean by this?" Could it be that the emperor thinks that the mourning family sent someone to Yongle Palace to deliver the letter? ”

"Even if this matter has nothing to do with the queen mother, eight years ago, the matter of laying down the fetus in Concubine Rong's womb has nothing to do with the queen mother?!" Meng Hongyu's voice trembled, half angry, half scared - he was afraid that the answer given by the Queen Mother would make the embankment in his heart collapse in an instant.

After hearing his words, the Queen Mother was stunned in surprise, her face gradually darkened, and she murmured, "You...... You got it? ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother reacted like this, the embankment in Meng Hongyu's heart really collapsed, and the flood in his heart was overflowing, and he was filled with grief and anger - sure enough! Sure enough, it was really the queen mother's doing! How could it be the queen mother?!

He held back the tears of grief and indignation in his eyes, his eyes were full of sorrow, and he squeezed out the words with difficulty from his handsome lips: "Sure enough, sure enough, ......"

"No!" The Queen Mother also burst into tears, but she still didn't forget to shake her head to defend herself, "No! The mourning family will never harm their children and grandchildren! Back then, it was Yue Yu who drugged Concubine Rong privately, and the mourning family immediately rushed to Xihuatang after hearing about it, but unfortunately, the mourning family went late...... However, Yue Yu was the niece of the Mourning family after all, and the Mourning family threatened Concubine Rong in order to help her hide the matter...... Whining...... The mourning family, the mourning family just threatened her not to tell you about it......"

The Queen Mother sat on her seat, and her old tears were rampant: "But the mourning family swears - the mourning family will never harm their children and grandchildren!" ”

Meng Hongyu suddenly thought that that day, after Liu Ruxin took realgar without permission and caused a slippery fetus, the Queen Mother said sadly: "It must be that the mourning family has done too many wrong things in this life, and the sins are ......" It turned out that the "wrong thing" in her mouth was this matter!

Meng Hongyu endured the sadness in his eyes and nodded lightly - he chose to believe the words of the Queen Mother - so that the image of his mother in his heart with hard work and deep affection would not collapse, and he could continue to love his mother. %&*";

Meng Hongyu knelt at the empress dowager's knees, held her hand, and said half-complaining, half-reproaching: "The queen mother...... Why are you so stupid...... This is aiding and abetting! ”

The Queen Mother also held Meng Hongyu's hand tightly and said sadly: "The mourning family knows, the mourning family knows that they can't live with Concubine Rong, with you, and even more with the ancestors of the Meng family...... There will be retribution for the mourners......"

Outside the door, Lin Yueyao listened quietly, and she heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and the Emperor......

Soon after Su Zirong's death, Bai Rushuang's father, Bai Zhongming, was indeed released from the prison. It is said that Bai Zhongming's "confession" said that he had received a military order from Xiao Zixun, asking him to lose the battle, and he "didn't know anything" about the rest.

Bai Zhongming's "confession" trapped Xiao Zi in an even more unfavorable position, and Xiao Ziling finally knew that he had miscalculated!

Xiao Ziling originally thought that the emperor just wanted to divert the focus of the Xiao family through this matter, so that the Xiao family would be busy rescuing Xiao Zixun, and there would be no time to mention her as a follow-up matter, so his brother's life would not be in danger. Who knows, Bai Zhongming would "confess" this remark in order to save his life, and now, his brother is really in danger.

Zi Ling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and asked to see Meng Hongyu several times, but the guards guarding Yongle Palace were on duty day and night, and she was not allowed to go out of Yongle Palace!

Bai Zhongming's "confession" was also outside Meng Hongyu's plan, he knew that Xiao Zixun did not collude with the Huns, as Ziling expected, all of this was a good show "directed" by him and the Queen Mother, in order to divert the attention of the Xiao family, so that the Xiao family would have no time to take care of the future affairs, who knows, killed a Bai Zhongming halfway, this Bai Zhongming actually "confessed" out of nothing that he was "instigated" by Xiao Zixun.

Meng Hongyu knew that this play was singing and singing, and it was really a fake play! And among them, in addition to the "conspiracy" of him and the Queen Mother, there must be other people's "conspiracy", so after listening to the invitation of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he ordered Bai Zhongming to be "released" without changing his face, and then asked Lu Yao to secretly investigate the matter.

Three days later, Lu Yao reported what he found to Meng Hongyu-

In the imperial study, Meng Hongyu stood in front of the bookcase, bowed his head to write Qu Yuan's "Lisao", only to see him holding his breath and concentrating, the ups and downs of the pen, the brilliance is shining, the momentum is unrestrained, there is no ridiculous pen, it is really a good calligraphy work!

Lu Yao knelt on the ground and told Meng Hongyu: "Li Zhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, accepted a bribe of 1,000 taels of silver from Bai Yunfeng and promised to exonerate Bai Zhongming, so he secretly did something. ”

Meng Hongyu didn't stop the pen in his hand, and after calmly writing down "I will go up and down and seek", he whispered the doubts in his heart: "Is this really so simple? Listening to his tone, he seemed to question Lu Yao's ability to do things.

Lu Yao raised his head slightly, with a slight hesitation in his eyes, and finally, he still spoke: "Humble duty...... I don't know whether to say it or not. After all, this matter also involves the emperor's own uncle Lin Lu'an, and if he says it bluntly, he will inevitably embarrass the emperor.

Finally, Meng Hongyu stopped licking the ink and waved his hand, put the pen in his hand heavily on the yellow-green pine flower imperial inkstone, and scolded sharply: "You have followed me for so many years, when have you seen me protect the Lin family?" He had already expected that this matter must have something to do with the Lin family!

"The emperor is angry!" Seeing that Meng Hongyu was angry, Lu Yao hurriedly told Meng Hongyu what he had ascertained: "It was Lord Lin who instructed Bai Yunfeng to bribe Lord Li, and then Lord Lin instructed Master Li to make a false confession to exonerate Bai Zhongming!" ”

"Sure enough, it's Lin Lu'an!" Meng Hongyu said angrily, "I have long guessed that this matter has something to do with him!" ”

It's just that why did Lin Luan help the Bai family? Everyone in the capital knows that after Lin Rihui injured Bai Yunfeng in Zhiwei Building, the Lin family and the Bai family have formed an indissoluble enmity.
