The Queen Mother understands that the more times like this, the more she can't panic.

If she can be calm and calm, she can also negotiate with Meng Yichen. But if she can't hold her breath first, she can only let Meng Yichen lead her nose away.

Meng Yichen came earlier than she imagined, and coming early means that Meng Yichen is the one who can't hold her breath, and she has already grasped the initiative in this negotiation.

The Empress Dowager was still calmly drinking tea, and mocked Meng Yichen and said, "Why did the regent also engage in petty theft?" Could it be that the court's gift to the regent was not enough? It actually reminded the regent of the mourning family's private money. ”

"Where is this the Queen Mother? Those are indeed not enough for Weichen's expenses, not to mention that Weichen is about to marry the princess. However, the Queen Mother's words, Weichen can also be understood as that the Queen Mother is praising Weichen for being an honest official, so he is slightly poor. ”

"As for what the Queen Mother said about worrying about the mother's private money, it was purely a misunderstanding. The Queen Mother herself knows that now there are several forces that want to assassinate Niangniang, and then push it to Weichen. Weichen Fang sent someone to inspect the palace of the Queen Mother? It's to ensure the safety of the mother! ”

"Hmph, what you say is better than what you sing? Now that you have the power in your hands, you can naturally say whatever you say. It's unbelievable to reverse black and white like this. ”

"No matter how Niangniang misunderstands Weichen, it's okay, Weichen is here, there is something to ask Niangniang."

"Excuse me? With the regent in power, what else do you need to ask the mourners? The mourning family doesn't dare to be. ”

"Naturally, it's a matter of the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom."

"The princess of the Western Chu Kingdom? Isn't the poor Yao'er who mourns her family killed by a traitor on the way to get married? What does the regent mean by this? The mourners don't understand. ”

"Why should the Queen Mother and I pretend to be stupid, you and I know what was going on in the first place."

Meng Yichen said this, and took out the letter that was searched, "This letter was written by Shu Yao herself, and the content of it is also known to the Queen Mother." I only ask the Queen Mother, where is Shuyao now? ”

"Hmph, you're going to die of this heart! Not to mention that the mourning family doesn't know Shu Yao's whereabouts, even if the mourning family knows, they won't tell you. ”

The Queen Mother was resolute, and Meng Yichen knew that from the Queen Mother, she couldn't ask anything, so she was not in a hurry.

Weichen understands that the Queen Mother may really not know Shu Yao's whereabouts. But Wei Chen knew that the Queen Mother was able to communicate with Shu Yao, and it must have been passed on through the secret guard. ”

"Come on, help the Queen Mother to the chair."

As soon as Meng Yichen spoke, two guards immediately pressed the Queen Mother on the chair.

The Queen Mother was furious, "Meng Yichen, you are so bold, you dare to be rude to the mourning family?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen just thinks that the Queen Mother has been standing all the time, and she is too tired." Meng Yichen said this, and smiled proudly at the Queen Mother.

"You mean!" The Queen Mother scolded hatefully.

Meng Yichen didn't care, but shouted loudly in the queen mother's bedroom, "I know, I don't know how many secret guards are hidden in this room." Please tell Princess Shuyao that if I can't get her whereabouts, the Queen Mother will not be allowed to eat for a day. When will I get the news, when will the Queen Mother be able to eat. ”

"Hidden guards, why don't you hurry up and go back to Princess Yuyan? lest the queen mother suffer a few more days. ”

Meng Yichen's despicable methods simply shocked the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said sarcastically, "I thought you were just blinded by revenge and lost your conscience." At least he is a person who is above board, capable, and responsible. I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless in your bones. The power of the Western Chu Kingdom will fall into your hands sooner or later. It is better to give up to the Tanglin Kingdom, at least to avoid the suffering of war. ”

"Queen Mother, Weichen is also trying his best to guard the Western Chu Kingdom, the Western Chu Kingdom guarded by Weichen, but the Chu family, not the Meng family. Shouldn't the Queen Mother be grateful to Weichen? Meng Yichen said that the head is the Tao.

"Shameless, villain!" The Queen Mother spit out these two words hatefully.

"Take good care of the Queen Mother, only one teacup of water a day is allowed. None of them are allowed. Meng Yichen commanded in a cold and hard tone.

"Yes." The few guards who stayed behind responded respectfully.

Meng Yichen left very chic.

And when Chu Shuyao got the news, it was already three days later.

Chu Shuyao was furious when she heard the news, "Why is it only now that such an important matter is going back and forth." ”

Nighthawk replied ashamedly, "Princess, this is already the fastest speed. ”

"The subordinates are ashamed, since they knew that the princess was in the Tanglin Kingdom, they had already transferred most of the secret guards, and there were not many secret guards who stayed in the Western Chu Kingdom to protect the Queen Mother. Moreover, Meng Yichen is now in power, and the guards in the palace all listen to him. Even if the secret guard can rescue the Queen Mother from the guards, it will be difficult to take the Queen Mother out of the palace! ”

"Princess, what are we going to do? Do you really want to tell Meng Yichen's whereabouts to that despicable villain? ”

"If you say a random place, Meng Yichen can't verify it for a while, but the Queen Mother is still in his hands, and Meng Yichen will definitely monitor the Queen Mother at all times before verifying."

"For the sake of today's plan, it is most important to solve the crisis of the queen mother first. You asked someone to send a message back to Meng Yichen, saying that I was in the southern Xinjiang country. ”

"Southern Frontier?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why did the princess say the southern frontier country? This southern Xinjiang country is just a small country, will Meng Yichen believe it? ”

"He'll believe it, you just have to bring him the letter from the palace."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Without further ado, Chu Shuyao quickly wrote a letter and asked people to send it back to the Western Chu Kingdom.

And quickly whipped up, and two days later, the letter was sent back to the Western Chu Kingdom.

After Meng Yichen read the letter, although he was skeptical, he also believed half of it.

The reason why the Western Chu State was able to relieve the crisis of being attacked by the Tanglin State was indeed because of the joint attack of the Southern Xinjiang State and the Northern Desert State against the Tanglin State.

And the southern frontier country has always lived in a corner of peace, and it is simply an unexpected thing to be able to take the initiative to attack the Tanglin country.

From this point of view, it should be true that Shu Yao went to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and persuaded the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom to attack the Tanglin Kingdom.

After reading the letter, Meng Yichen asked, "How is the Queen Mother now?" ”

"In accordance with the king's orders, he cut off the food for three days, but the water has been sufficient. The subordinates specially sent a little eunuch who had received the favor of the Queen Mother to bring water and food to the Queen Mother. The little eunuch secretly fed the Queen Mother, and we didn't know about it. And in the past two days, the little eunuch has secretly fed the Queen Mother nourishing bird's nest. It was also specially instructed by his subordinates to give it to the little eunuch. ”

"Well done."

"From today onwards, the house arrest of the Queen Mother will be lifted, but the Queen Mother must be guarded at all times. In addition, don't let the Queen Mother go out of the palace again. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

And not long after the guard went down, there were palace people coming and going, saying that the Taishi had come and asked to see the prince.

Hearing the word Taishi, Meng Yichen understood. I think it's for the princess. Before the empress dowager under house arrest that day, the empress dowager's marriage decree had been sent to the Taishi's mansion, and during this time, he was busy forgetting about this matter.

"Please come in!" Meng Yichen said indifferently.

The old lady was neither humble nor arrogant to Meng Yichen, "The old minister is the regent." ”

Meng Yichen also smiled perfunctorily, "The Taishi doesn't need to be polite, the Taishi is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, where can the younger generation take the Taishi salute." ”

"The old minister doesn't dare to rely on the old and sell the old, and now the prince is the regent, and the position is above the old minister."

When the Taishi said this, Meng Yichen stopped saying polite words anymore, and asked directly, "I don't know why the Taishi came over in person?" ”

"The regent also knows that the Queen Mother has personally made a decree to give marriage."

"Although Weichen hopes that his daughter can stay in the boudoir for a few more years, since Yi's decree has been made, it is better to get married first."

"Oh! It turns out that the Taishi is here to talk about the wedding period! This matter has already been considered by this king. Are you going to tell the master? ”

"Taishi also knows that the Tanglin Kingdom has always been eyeing the Western Chu Kingdom. There is something going on in the Western Chu State, and the Tanglin Kingdom is ready to move. Therefore, the Western Chu State needs to have a partner. And before, the princess of my Western Chu Kingdom had already gone to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom with her relatives, and now she is the concubine of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. If the Western Chu State wants to find a partner, then the Southern Xinjiang State is the first choice. ”

"Therefore, this king wants to go to the Southern Frontier Kingdom in the name of visiting the princess and discuss with the emperor of the Southern Frontier Kingdom the matter of joining forces to resist the Tanglin Kingdom."

"And this king is going, if he can take the princess with him, it will be more suitable."

"This matter is sooner rather than later, so this king has decided that the marriage with Ling Qianjin is also as early as possible."

"This matter is urgent, and it is better to choose a day than to hit the day. Taishi thinks, is it okay after three days? ”

"Three days? These three days are inevitably too rushed, right? What is this not prepared for? If the wedding is well prepared, it will take at least a month or more! ”

"Master! Didn't this king just say? Hurry up and do what you want. Master please rest assured, this king will not treat Ling Ai badly. This king will instruct the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hurry up and deal with this matter, and before the wedding, they must be properly prepared. ”

"But the little girl's dowry, as well as the wedding dress, have not been prepared yet?" Taishi was very embarrassed.

"This is easy to do, wedding dress! The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a ready-made phoenix crown and xia curtain, and it is good to use the phoenix crown xia curtain directly. The king will send someone to the palace later. ”

"As for the dowry! The king asked the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare according to the princess's custom. Taishi doesn't have to bother. ”

Meng Yichen has already said this, and he has given his daughter enough face, and the Taishi can't say anything more.

"Yes, since the prince has already thought about it, it will be up to the prince. The old minister retired first. ”

"Master walks slowly."

After sending off the Taishi, Meng Yichen sat back on the chair and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
