Grandpa Rong lowered his head, and beads of sweat came out.

Zhou Ye said: "It's okay if the flowers are fine, Seventh Prince, open the door and go see the flowers." ”

Meng Qi ordered someone to open the door of the West Chamber, and he was still muttering in his heart, cousin, cousin, how to play this play, don't smash it. If I lose the money in my house, I will bear the sin of killing my head.

Cai Ye didn't look at Meng Qi, the next person opened the door lock of the west wing, pushed the door open, Meng Qi stepped into the room first, and Cai Ye made a gesture towards Meng Cong: "Your Majesty, please first." ”

The two entered the door one after the other, followed by Yin Chengnian and Rong Gonggong, as well as a large internal guard commander.

Meng Qi was in front, thinking about the master, the master, don't fool people, where are there any Xuandong flowers here? How do I get a few pots of flowers? But as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a very special aroma, which was very similar to the breath on Su Ri Ye's body.

Cai Ye said calmly: "Seventh Prince, open the door of the dark room." ”

Because of this strange fragrance of flowers, Meng Qi had some bottom in his heart, found the mechanism behind the screen, pressed the mechanism, and opened a door on the wall, Meng Qi took the lead in entering, Meng Cong followed behind, and smiled very meaningfully: "Old Qi, it turns out that there is also a dark room here." ”

Cai Ye replied on his behalf: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the Seven Princes originally didn't have a dark room here, I came to the Seven Princes the day before yesterday to settle down, because there was no safe place to place the Xuandong flowers, I found a craftsman to build a dark room." ”

Meng Cong said: "Xuan'er, didn't my uncle say that he had the kung fu to build a dark room, wouldn't it be safer to send the flowers directly into the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty, I am a person I have never met, I will go to the palace with a few pots of Xuandong flowers, and it will take time for you to summon you, if there is any accident during this period, who should be responsible?"

"That's right. Tweed? ”

Meng Cong looked around, the dark room was simply furnished, a table and a few chairs, there were no Xuandong flowers, and the fragrance of flowers was stronger. He believed that there must be some dark compartment in this room, otherwise there would not be such a strong aroma.

Meng Qi and Yin Chengnian were also very suspicious, obviously they came to the Seven Princes' Mansion together, and they didn't see any small moves from Zhou Ye, how could there be any Xuandong flowers?

Especially Meng Qi, he knew that this was not a dark room built by Ye Ye, but such a dark room was built when the mansion was built at the beginning. Because it is out all year round, the darkroom is not commonly used.

Everyone's eyes focused on Pan Ye's body, but Pan Ye said: "Your Majesty, you also know that Xuandong flowers are precious and abnormal, please invite all the idle people and others out." ”

As soon as he spoke, Meng Cong glared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to see his heart through his good-looking face and see what he wanted in his heart.

Cai Ye just looked at him lightly and calmly, and his posture was very proud, "Your Majesty, are you afraid?" ”

Father-in-law Rong's face changed suddenly, and he protected Meng Cong in front of him, "Bold!" How dare you talk to the emperor like this?! ”

The commander of the guards also immediately pulled out his long sword, and the cold light Lingling's sword slammed into Yu Ye's neck, and reprimanded: "What do you want to do?!" ”

Zhou Ye looked at the two of them calmly, with a slight smile in his eyes: "This is the Republic of Mao, and the door is full of our internal guards, saying, what can I do?" ”

Meng Qi and Yin Chengnian couldn't help frowning, what is this going to do, master?

Meng Cong stared at him for a while, and suddenly, he smiled heartily, "Let's all go out." ”

"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Rong and the commander of the guards spoke eagerly at the same time, but Meng Cong said solemnly: "He is my nephew, what can he do to me?" Let's wait outside! ”

Grandpa Rong and the commander of the guards looked at each other, looked at each other for a moment, and left the room respectfully.

Meng Qi and Yin Chengnian also retreated. Although they really wanted to see the Xuandong flower that was hidden somewhere, they didn't let them see it, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.

The idlers and others all retreated, and Yu Ye closed the door of the dark room and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty, please take a seat." ”

Meng Cong didn't sit down immediately, but stared at the bowl and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you trick me into this dark room to return the Xuandong Flower to me?" Although the dark room is surrounded by the rich aroma of Xuandong flowers, there is no shadow of flowers at all, and it seems that the appearance of the dish is not in a hurry to return the flowers, Meng Cong is not a fool, so he can naturally see it.

He dragged a chair and sat down calmly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Meng Cong looked at Zhou Ye deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Even if I have something to say, I don't have to go to this dark room to talk to me, right?" My palace is much safer than this dark room. What's more, I don't have anything to say in the dark room. ”

There was an unpredictable smile in his eyes: "Oh? Is that really the case, Your Majesty? ”

Meng Cong looked at him, silent, and for a moment before he spoke: "Meng Xuan, who is it?" What did you come to Jinling for? ”

Zhou Ye smiled: "Identity, I've already made it clear, right?" I am the illegitimate son of Princess Yanming, and I have already said why I came here. I'm here to fulfill my mother's last wish. ”

"And what else do you want to hear from me?" Meng Cong's eyes revealed a sense of danger.

"I want to hear my mother's story. Your Majesty, my mother died early, I left my mother at the age of three, I had no mother at the age of six, and I was a child with an unknown father, in other words, I was a child who lacked family affection since I was a child, and it would be good for me to hear stories about my mother. ”

"That's it?" Meng Cong's eyes were unpredictable, "You don't have to say this in the dark room, right?" ”

Cai Ye smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, is it really not needed?" ”

Meng Cong stared at him deeply, and he almost couldn't hold back the violent factor in his eyes, but in the end, he didn't have a seizure, but took a deep breath and said, "Meng Xuan, what do you know?" ”

"I don't know much." Cai Ye said lightly, "Mother is the dark emperor of Mao Min, and she is carrying out the task of secretly maintaining the Meng family's country. As the dark emperor of Mao Min, he can only live like a mouse who can't see the light all his life, let alone marry like a normal person and teach his husband and children. My birth was an accident. This accident made Mao Min's royal family panic, because once the Dark Emperor has love, he is bound to be able to do things without scruples and cares. Therefore, Mao Min sent someone to assassinate me as a child. My mother, who was seriously injured in order to protect me, had no choice but to entrust me to the care of a friend, and she returned to Jinling alone, lying that I had died, and eventually, in the palace. That's all I know. ”

Meng Cong's face was sometimes dark, sometimes pale, and he looked at him with a faint coldness in his eyes, and said slowly: "When you saw me yesterday, was Your Majesty shocked?" ”

"I'm shocked." Meng Cong forced himself to be calm, his eyes looked at Zhou Ye as if he didn't believe it, "I didn't expect that I survived, and I lived very well." Xuan'er, a mother who looks too similar. I am very happy to be able to come back. Mother's life is very simple, she knows almost most of it, what else do you want to know? ”

Dish Ye didn't directly ask the question he wanted to know, but instead went around to other questions: "My mother has died a long time ago, and I have grown up, I want to know, what is Your Majesty going to do with me?" ”

Meng Cong took a deep breath, and some kindness suddenly appeared in his complexion, "Xuan'er, now that I have grown up and my mother has long since passed away, what reason do I have to kill?" In fact, I really hope that I can return to Jinling and take my mother's place. He took a deep breath, and there was some helplessness in his kind eyes: "You know what? Since the mother immortal left, the Dark Emperor has no suitable candidate, and that position has been vacant. ”

Yan Ye's face was expressionless, and his tone became lighter: "What if I say that I can't come back?" ”

Meng Cong said softly: "Xuan'er, my mother entrusted Xuandong Flower to her before she died, do you know what it means?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Dark Emperor of the past dynasties, the token is the Xuandong Flower, the Dark Emperor guards the Xuandong Flower, guards the Meng family's rivers and mountains, until the day he dies, he will entrust the Xuandong Flower to the next Dark Emperor. What does she mean by entrusting Xuandong flowers to, is it clear now? ”

Yu Ye said: "Aren't the candidates for the Dark Emperor all princesses of the royal family?" ”

"Not really. The candidates for the Dark Emperor are designated by the previous generation of Dark Emperors, and generally speaking, they are all royal princesses, but there are exceptions. For example, the mother, she specified, then it can only be used to take over as the next Dark Emperor. ”

He sneered and said, "Ridiculous." Before my mother died, she instructed me to return the Xuandong flowers to the Maomin when I became an adult, but she didn't say that I should keep them for the rest of my life. ”

"When she was young, how was she going to tell me? can only entrust Xuandong to Yu first, and when he grows up, he will let him come to Jinling to find me, and I will tell the truth, child. ”

Meng Cong's words were affectionate, and after listening to his words, he didn't even have a little expression on his face, he glanced at him quietly, and smiled coldly, "Your Majesty is really easy to deceive me?" Even if you want me to take over my mother's position, wouldn't it be chilling to make up some decent reasons to trick me into that position under the guise of my mother? ”

Meng Cong was surprised: "Xuan'er, why do you say this? What did my uncle deceive? It's just my mother's will. ”

Dish Ye sneered: "Good uncle." Since I want to be my uncle, then I will call my uncle today. Uncle, let me ask, the position of the Dark Emperor looks very majestic when I hear the name, but what does it actually look like? ”

Without waiting for Meng Cong to answer, he asked himself and replied: "Actually, the Dark Emperor will always live in the dark, her identity will not be revealed to the world until she dies, and she cannot live like a normal person. As a Dark Emperor, I'm afraid I have to undergo very rigorous training since I was a child, right? I am her own son, let me ask, will she let her own son live in the dark forever and never see the light? ”
