Chapter 43: The Princess Who Died in the Chamber of Secrets (8)

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Hui woke up refreshed, and after finishing his makeup, he walked towards the main hall where Concubine Liang lived.

There is no specific time limit for being invited to live in the palace this time, and Meng Hui estimates that he will have to wait at least until Concubine Liang improves slightly or deteriorates completely.

If it improves, both inside and outside the palace will be happy. The queen doesn't have to think about how to settle a crazy high-ranking concubine, the emperor doesn't have to think about how to appease the concubine's mother's family, the three princes' support in the harem is still solid, and even the virtuous princess will breathe a sigh of relief.

If it deteriorates, the situation will definitely change, and the emperor and queen will definitely not want to see Concubine Liang completely crazy and upset the current balance. Not to mention the third prince, he naturally hoped that Concubine Liang could return to normal so that he could ascend to the throne.

Only Meng Hui doesn't want Concubine Liang to recover too quickly at the moment.

It's not that she's uneasy and kind, but that once Concubine Liang returns to her original state, she will inevitably wear a mask and become the perfect palace concubine who is high above and can't find flaws. When the time comes, if you want to talk again, the difficulty is secondary, and the most important thing is that it will make her suspicious.

If Concubine Liang improves, Meng Hui must also leave the palace and return to the palace, and it will be even more difficult to investigate the case at that time.

When the two were alone before, as soon as Meng Hui guided her slightly, Concubine Liang had the desire to talk, and if she could find another opportunity to give it a try, maybe she would be able to gain something.

In the early morning, the palaces are resplendent in gold, shrouded in the magnificent light of the morning sun. The faces of the attendants who walked in a hurry were dyed red, and the whole palace came to life at this time.

Meng Hui walked forward, and when there were few people, he suddenly turned his head and asked Agarwood: "Amber and Coral have gone to find old friends?" ”

Agarwood nodded and replied softly: "Yes, I went out early in the morning with the prepared gifts, and I guess I won't be able to come back until night." ”

Every time Sun Youyi enters the palace, Amber and Coral, who are good at dancing with long sleeves, will go to the palaces to meet old friends. These so-called old friends are all trained by King Xian, after all, this is where he grew up, and it is not difficult to bury some chess pieces for himself.

The chess pieces are scattered in different palaces, usually performing their own duties, and they don't know each other, and only a few of them can let Amber and her meet under the banner of making friends.

Their positions are very inconspicuous, but they are very observant, and the main task is to hand over a message to Sun Youyi after she enters the palace, telling her about the recent situation and taboos in the palace, so as to prevent her from making mistakes and getting into trouble.

"Recently, martial law has been imposed in the palace, I don't know if I can find out anything." Meng Hui had great hopes for them, this was the last source of information, if he didn't find anything, he could only sit in Ningxi Palace and stare at Concubine Liang until the mission failed and crossed back.

"Don't worry, the county lord, there will be a few words more or less, and if you put them together, you can often use them well." Agarwood has no doubt about the ability of these "old friends", and sometimes, they can know a little bit about things that the masters in the palace don't know.

Meng Hui nodded and stopped talking, and soon came to the door of the main hall.

There was wind in the early morning, and the palace was quite cool, but the doors and windows in the hall had not been opened, and the heat that had been accumulated for a long time came to his face, making Meng Hui feel suffocated.

After entering the temple and saluting, she saw a long table full of dishes in front of her, exuding an attractive fragrance, and she forgot about the heat for a moment. Swallowing shamefully, he used the power of the wilderness to take his eyes off the table.

"Recently, the mother has a bad appetite, and the diet is mainly light and simple, and I ask the county lord not to dislike it." Fang Qing smiled apologetically as she ushered her into her seat, as if the "simple" breakfast table made her feel very guilty.

"It doesn't matter." Meng Hui smiled very reservedly, and kept shouting in his heart, come on, someone, someone here is pretending to be forced!

Concubine Liang sat on the main seat, Meng Hui sat on her right side, eating without saying a word, the two silently picked up the dishes picked by the maid, and ate them very boring one bite at a time.

The hall was getting hotter and hotter, and the table full of delicacies was hard to swallow, Meng Hui was still looking forward to the food at first, and then he only hoped that it would end soon.

Concubine Liang mechanically repeated a series of actions of picking vegetables, chewing, and swallowing, and Meng Hui couldn't put the chopsticks before her, so she could only continue to eat.

Fortunately, Fangqing stopped the vegetables in time, glanced at Concubine Liang cautiously, and persuaded euphemistically: "Niangniang, why don't you go to the garden to eliminate food?" ”

It took a long time for Concubine Liang to react, and she nodded sluggishly in agreement.

Meng Hui put down his chopsticks and looked at Concubine Liang, his crazy babbling stopped, but his brain became so unbright, the bowl of medicine yesterday was obviously not quite right.

"I'll help my aunt, Aunt Fangqing, please help me get some refreshments and bring it."

Meng Hui stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Liang's arm and walked out quickly, the elf-like agarwood and red sandalwood immediately discovered her intentions, and the two of them grabbed Fangqing and dragged her back more than ten steps away. You can see the master in front of you, and you can pretend to whisper.

Fangqing had no doubts, only when Agarwood and Rosewood wanted to further deal with her, she was happy to make friends with them, so she didn't break free.

God assists! This kind of maid is really powerful! Meng Hui secretly praised in his heart, and hurriedly took the opportunity to approach Concubine Liang, and asked in a very small and soft voice, "Is the medicine that my aunt has drunk recently bitter?" ”

"Bitter." Concubine Liang responded sluggishly, and under the influence of Meng Hui, she also lowered her voice very softly.

"Can you not drink it?"

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Zhao'er is not happy."

It's the Three Princes again! Meng Hui's mind was full of thoughts, and he turned his head to the side slightly, and Yu Guang saw that the people behind him were following farther away, and took the risk of mentioning Sun Yi'an. "Why didn't my aunt tell Sister Pingyang? She will help you. ”

Concubine Liang's mouth opened slightly, her eyes were full of fear, and her voice was lowered. "Don't tell Pingyang! Zhao'er is all for our good. ”

Meng Hui's heart was pounding, and he finally quickly calmed down and continued to speak softly. "But Sister Pingyang doesn't listen to me, she doesn't believe that the Third Emperor Brother is for her good."

Concubine Liang's lips couldn't stop trembling, she lowered her head in a panic, and said tremblingly: "It's for her good...... It's for her good...... You have to believe Zhao'er ......"

"Auntie, this time Sister Pingyang and the Third Emperor Brother have an awkward quarrel, it's different from before, right?" Meng Hui finally asked what he wanted to ask the most, and there was no one around him, only the leaves rustling by the wind.

Concubine Liang's footsteps suddenly stunted, the arm that was held became stiff, turned her head with difficulty, leaned into Meng Hui's ear and said, "Yes, Pingyang she...... She will never forgive Zhao'er again, and she will not forgive me. ”

"Why? If my aunt doesn't tell me, how can I persuade the princess well? Meng Hui Yuguang saw that the maid behind him was about to arrive, but he didn't dare to forcibly take Concubine Liang away, for fear of disturbing her current state, but he couldn't ask anything.

Concubine Liang bit her lip and reacted sluggishly for a long time, which made Meng Hui's heart extremely anxious.

When the maids were only a few steps away from here, the expressionless Concubine suddenly smiled strangely and said almost silently: "Qinghe...... Pingyang she's dead......"
