Chapter 399: Forced
Meng Shi glanced at the man and said lightly: "Royal affairs, why should I wait for my beak?" ”
After that, he didn't say anything more, and went to mourn with his daughters-in-law.
The man touched his nose and felt depressed, but he didn't dare to offend the Han family, who was now in the limelight, so he had to pull the corners of his mouth in front of him when he heard the words, and quietly retreated into the crowd.
Shu Yu and Qi sighed lightly, alerting themselves in their hearts.
As a member of the Han family, which is in the limelight, they must be more cautious in their words and deeds in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the Han family and Emperor Kangping.
The women mourned for a moment at the city gate, and the funeral procession disappeared into the distance, and the officials of Taichang Temple, who were in charge of guidance, returned to the city to complete their rituals and dispersed.
The three of Meng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to board the car and return home, when they were stopped by a palace maid with a round face and a smile.
"Mrs. Qinghe, please stay." As soon as the palace maid opened her mouth, she revealed two lovely pear vortices, which made people feel happy and unguarded.
Before Shu Yu could speak, the palace maid respectfully introduced herself and asked, "The slave maid is the palace maid Ruizhu of Ci'an Palace, and on the order of the Empress Dowager, I specially invite my wife to enter the palace to see her." ”
Shu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
Now Emperor Kangping led hundreds of civil and military officials to Tanglin for funeral, and the palace has become the world of the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager is a person with a very strong desire for power, otherwise she would not have tried to win over the young Emperor Kangping again and again. It's just that Emperor Yuan Jia has always been on guard against her before her death, and Han Yan and Shu Yu have always taught Emperor Kang Ping to be calm and rational, which did not let her succeed.
A while ago, some people even asked the empress dowager to listen to the government on the grounds that the new emperor was young and ignorant, and did not mention that Emperor Yuan Jia had already appointed an auxiliary minister. Whose handwriting is behind this, a discerning person will know at a glance.
The Empress Dowager summoned her to the palace at this time, but she was afraid that the person who came was not good.
Meng and Qi were also very worried about this, frowning slightly.
Shu Yu knew that the imperial power was supreme at this time, and the Empress Dowager personally sent someone to summon her, she couldn't refuse, but she didn't want to go to the Longtan Tiger's Den unprepared, so she raised the corners of her lips, which was regarded as a greeting, and said in a sad tone: "There is Miss Lao Ruizhu to invite." It's just mourning and thinking, it's not good not to go and see the Queen Mother again. I also ask Miss Ruizhu to return to her life first, and I will be there later. ”
Shu Yu said sincerely and politely, as long as the Empress Dowager's invitation was not ill-intentioned, she would definitely not even be allowed to make this request.
But Ruizhu, who looked to have a round face and a smile and was very talkative, refused respectfully but resolutely when she heard the words.
"The death of the Emperor Taishang, the whole country mourns, even the palace is also full of vegetarian and mourning, that is, the Empress Dowager and her old man, and now she has also changed into plain clothes, copying scriptures and reciting Buddha. Madame neednot have to worry about that. Ruizhu explained deferentially.
Shu Yu's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but his heart sank, and his hands in his sleeves tightened together again.
Where did the Empress Dowager send someone to invite her into the palace, obviously to force her to throw herself into the net.
She is Emperor Kangping's aunt, and is relied on filial piety by the other party as her own mother; She was the wife of the imperial prince and the auxiliary minister appointed by the first emperor, and was deeply loved by her husband; She is the second daughter-in-law of the Han family, and she is valued by the Han family because of her achievements in Liaodong.
The Empress Dowager took such great pains to invite her into the palace, but she was afraid that she had set up a Hongmen banquet and was ready to detain her to deal with Emperor Kangping and Han Yan and the Han family!
Seeing this, Meng Shi pinched Qi Shi without a trace, and then snorted, and the whole person directly collapsed to the ground.
Qi subconsciously held Meng Shi, blessed his soul, suddenly understood, and hurriedly exclaimed at Shu Yu: "Mother fainted!" ”
Shu Yu didn't understand that Meng Shi was relieving himself, so he hurriedly supported Meng Shi from the other side, called out to his mother anxiously, and shouted to the accompanying maid guards.
Rui Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
Meng Shi was fine before, how could he suddenly faint, obviously to take the opportunity to stir up trouble and prevent her from bringing Shu Yu into the palace.
Before coming, the Empress Dowager gave her a death order, and today she must bring Mrs. Qinghe County into Ci'an Palace, otherwise she will wait to apologize for her sins with death!
Rui Zhu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help, and shouted anxiously: "Old Madam Han, I'm afraid it's a convulsive disease, this is careless!" Come on, hurry up and help the old lady get into the carriage and go back to the palace to ask the imperial doctor for treatment! ”
Since the three of Meng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so ignorant and dare to play tricks with her in public, then don't blame her for being polite and serve them in one pot!
Wait for the three of Meng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be held, are you still afraid that Han Yan and the Han family will not throw a rat bogey!
To say that Rui Zhu was angry with Meng Shi for making a hindrance and hurting her errand before, then now she was extremely excited and glad that Meng Shi was stupid and gave her this opportunity to make a great contribution.
After the Empress Dowager listens to the government and rules the world, will she, a great hero, still be worried about her wealth and glory in her life?
Rui Zhu's heart was full of enthusiasm, and she immediately beckoned the people of Ci'an Palace who came with her to step forward and "invite" people to get into the carriage.
The three of Meng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect this Ruizhu to look kind and kind, but who knew that their minds turned so quickly, and they were so steady, ruthless, and accurate, they were all stunned for a while.
However, there were onlookers who did not know the truth, and when they saw this, they all envied the royal family's attention to the Han family, and even Meng's fainting had to be invited to the palace to let the imperial doctor see him.
Seeing Rui Zhu bringing someone over, Shu Yu immediately made a decision, stood up, and shouted angrily: "Madame has fainted, why don't you come and help her go to the doctor!" ”
Hongying and the others were stunned, and immediately understood, and hurriedly rushed to the front of Ruizhu's people to "support" Meng's family, and quickly surrounded Meng's and Qi's families, isolating Ruizhu and others.
Shu Yu knew that it was difficult to do good things today, and he could only do the lesser of two evils, so he said to Rui Zhu solemnly: "Mother fainted suddenly, I am afraid that my heart is blocked, and I am afraid that if I send it to the palace, I am afraid that it will delay the treatment." The Empress Dowager has always been a bodhisattva, and she doesn't want to see such a situation. ”
As long as the Meng family and the Qi family can be saved, Shu Yu doesn't mind complimenting the Empress Dowager a few words.
Rui Zhu's face changed when she heard this.
Shu Yu's words seem to be praising the Empress Dowager, but in fact, he wants to force her to retreat.
If it weren't for the fact that Meng Shi pretended to be unconscious before, Rui Zhu would not have moved the idea of making great contributions, and at this time, Shu Yu could take the initiative to retreat, she couldn't ask for it.
But seeing that the opportunity to make great contributions was in front of her, and knowing that Meng Shi was pretending to be unconscious to relieve Shu Yu, the so-called 'delay in healing' would not appear at all, and she was really a little unwilling to give up like this.
