It was the prince who made the decree!

The prince has been by His Majesty's side for hundreds of years, he is a celebrity around His Majesty, and he is also a close confidant of His Majesty.

Therefore, it is really His Majesty who is going to do something to Concubine Meng.

Although she knew that her majesty would sooner or later make a move against her and the Montessori clan, when this matter came, she found that she was so difficult to accept.

On one side is his husband, on the other side is his own son and clan, and he is in a dilemma.

Concubine Meng subconsciously looked at Ling Shuangshuang.

Ling Shuangshuang nodded slightly, indicating that he had expected it a long time ago, and everything was expected.

Concubine Meng couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for Ling Shuangshuang's own words, even if she was killed, she wouldn't believe that it was her son who was planning all this behind her back.

Even this step has been counted!?

It's horrible. Is this still her dumb son? It's like a different person, and there is a world of difference from the son she remembers.

After settling her mind, Concubine Meng asked, "Princess, I don't know what His Majesty summoned the concubines for?"

The prince said: "Your Majesty heard that the maid of the Seventh Prince has returned and is in the Niangniang's bedroom. Niangniang, you know, in the past half a month, the whole Snow Country has been talking about the news that the Seven Princes entered the Confucian Garden as a hostage, Your Majesty summoned you, just to ask Niangniang what is the situation with all this?"

Concubine Meng pointed at Ling Shuangshuang and asked, "What about her?

The prince said fairly: "How can a mere slave maid be qualified to see Your Majesty's holy face? Your Majesty only summons you, Niangniang, and as for her, she will be interrogated by the Criminal Department. ”

Concubine Meng snorted coldly: "Why don't you take me down and send me to the Criminal Department for interrogation?"

Wang Gonggong: "The body of a mother's daughter and her noble status can be compared with a little maid?"

Concubine Meng said angrily: "Do you still know that I am a mother, and do you still know that I am a noble person? I am the princess of the Snow Country, my son, the prince of the Snow Country, and the royal blood." ”

"Ling Shuangshuang grew up with my son since she was a child, and the world knows that she has long been committed to my son, even if she is not my son's concubine in the future, she will also be my son's side concubine. ”

"For the sake of the Snow Country, in order to promote the alliance of the demon and demon clans, my son did not hesitate to sacrifice himself into the demon clan as a hostage, and now he has been captured by the Confucian Garden, and his life and death are unknown. You courtiers, who don't want to save my son, but are here to embarrass my son's concubines, what are your intentions?"

Concubine Meng scolded angrily, "Do you still have the etiquette of a monarch and a minister in your eyes? Are you going to rebel?"

A big hat of rebellion was buttoned down, and the prince was also stunned.

As we all know, Concubine Meng has always been virtuous and virtuous since she entered the palace, and it was the first time he had seen such anger.

The prince hurriedly knelt down, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Concubine Meng shouted: "You go back for me and tell Your Majesty that if you want to arrest Ling Shuangshuang, you will arrest me together." My son is out there throwing his head and spilling blood for Snow Country, and I will never allow anyone to bully his wife at home!"

"Yes!" the prince climbed and retreated.

After everyone was gone, Ling Shuangshuang spoke, "Niangniang, why are you doing this? We must keep a low profile now, let Your Majesty feel at ease, and dispel doubts about us." ”

Concubine Meng sneered: "Shuangshuang, you don't know Your Majesty. I have been with His Majesty for many years, and I know that His Majesty is suspicious by nature, and no matter what we do, it is impossible to dispel His Majesty's suspicions. Instead of making compromises, why don't we make a fuss and let Your Majesty know what we are planning? In this way, in order to know our bottom line, Your Majesty will not attack us and cast a line to fish. ”

Ling Shuangshuang reacted at this time.

After all, Concubine Meng is His Majesty's concubine, and she knows His Majesty's temperament well, she knows better than anyone how to deal with His Majesty?

......

In the palace, in the council hall, two men are playing chess.

The man holding the white chess, wearing a dark golden dragon robe, a Chinese face, a burly posture, a mighty demeanor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking forward to it, revealing the appearance of a king.

There is only one person who can wear a dragon robe here, and that is the king of the Snow Country, Duan Liancheng!

The man holding the black chess piece, dressed in a cyan robe with a grimace mask on his face, could not see his face clearly, but those eyes, so deep, seemed to contain infinite wisdom.

It is the 'Soldier Heavenly Master' among the three heavenly masters, Guiguzi!

Duan Liancheng held the white son in his hand, stared at the chessboard, and was undecided.

Guiguzi said: "Your Majesty, you are indecided, but it is taboo for chess players." ”

Duan Liancheng shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm indecisive, but the situation is unclear and I don't know how to deal with it?"

Guiguzi: "Since the situation is unclear, then do your best and respond to all changes without change." ”

Duan Liancheng's eyes lit up, and the white son in his hand quickly fell, and asked, "Heavenly Master, do you say that Concubine Meng will tell me the truth?"

Guiguzi: "Niangniang will neither tell the truth to Your Majesty, nor will she deceive Your Majesty." Because Niangniang will not come to see His Majesty at all. ”

Duan Liancheng wondered, "Why is this?"

Guiguzi said with a smile: "Because Niangniang is a smart person, she knows that whether she is telling the truth or lying, Her Majesty will not believe it, so it is better not to say it." ”

Duan Liancheng bowed slightly, "Yes, sometimes silence will protect yourself." ”

As the two expected, the prince quickly ran in and told Concubine Meng about her temper.

After hearing this, Duan Liancheng laughed out loud, "It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, Concubine Meng has always been virtuous and gentle, and she has never been angry, I really want to see her lose her temper." ”

The prince asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how can Concubine Meng explain it?"

Duan Liancheng said lightly: "Concubine Meng's words are not disrespectful, she has lost the royal face, and she will be fined three thousand to set an example." ”

The prince asked again, "What about the maids of the Seventh Prince?"

Duan Liancheng glared at him.

The prince instantly understood, "The slave understands, and the slave retires." ”

Duan Liancheng turned a blind eye, and then left a white son, "Heavenly Master, did you say that Concubine Meng would really be involved?"

Guiguzi said in a very affirmative tone: "Wei Chen has never understood before, why did Confucius capture the Seven Princes alive and not kill them? It wasn't until the maid of the Seven Princes appeared that Wei Chen understood that that person was trying to control Concubine Meng through the Seven Princes to achieve his ulterior purpose. ”

Duan Liancheng asked, "Then according to the Heavenly Master's eyes, who will be the person behind this plot?"

Guiguzi was silent and did not answer.

Duan Liancheng asked tentatively, "Shen Xugu?"

Guiguzi shook his head and said: "No, with Weichen's understanding of Shen Xugu, using the peace talks between the human and demon clans as an excuse, it is not his Shen Xugu's style of acting. ”

Duan Liancheng said again: "Could it be Zhuge Ming?" That guy is cautious and impermeable, and always makes people scratch their heads. ”

Guiguzi shook his head again: "It's not Zhuge Demon Dao. Zhuge Demon Dao knows better than anyone that the human race is powerful, and the demon and demon races can only protect themselves by an alliance. Therefore, Zhuge Demon Dao will never do anything to destroy the alliance between the demon and demon races. ”

Duan Liancheng was puzzled and muttered to himself, "It's not Shen Xugu, it's not Zhuge Ming, who else can it be?" When has there been such a character in this world, and his style of action can make me and the Heavenly Master confused." ”

Guiguzi hesitated: "Weichen suspects that this person is the Seventh Prince!"

"Xiao Qi?" Duan Liancheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Heavenly Master, are you entertaining me?" Xiao Qi is something you watched grow up, don't you know what kind of character he has? With his little cleverness, can he lay out a situation that neither I nor the Heavenly Master can understand?"

Guiguzi groaned: "Weichen is not lost for no reason. Please think about it, Your Majesty, with Concubine Meng's steady character, even if the other party captures the Seventh Prince, can it really threaten Concubine Meng?"

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Duan Liancheng seemed to have an understanding and said: "What the Heavenly Master said is right, Concubine Meng is steady, and she has always focused on the overall situation, even if the other party uses Xiao Qi's life, she can't threaten her." Unless Xiao Qi speaks in person and moves with affection, he can say that Concubine Meng is moved. ”

Guiguzi said: "That's right. If you follow this line of thought, you will be able to figure out a lot of things that you can't figure out. ”

Duan Liancheng arched his hand and said, "Please teach me the Heavenly Master." ”

Guiguzi nodded and continued: "First, why did the other party play the guise of peace talks? The Seventh Prince is in danger, and only by using peace talks as an excuse can he say that the group of corrupt Confucians in Yangshan Academy will not die. ”

"The second is Concubine Meng's actions. Concubine Meng was eager to protect the calves, and after knowing that it was the Seventh Prince who was secretly planning everything, she would naturally help the Seventh Prince without hesitation. ”

"Third, it is also a problem that has plagued Weichen for a long time, that is, the purpose of the other party's this?"

Guiguzi sneered: "Everything is done for a purpose. If this matter was plotted by Shen Xugu or Zhuge Demon Dao, Wei Chen really couldn't think of their purpose in doing so. But if it is the Seventh Prince, it is easy to guess, it is to promote peace talks to save his life. ”

After listening to this, Duan Liancheng couldn't help but praise: "What a little Qi, it seems that I underestimated him, and he hid it so deeply." If it hadn't been for him to a dead end this time, I really wouldn't have thought he would have such a means. ”

I don't know if Qiye heard this, I don't know if I should cry or laugh?

The real Seven Princes had long been calculated to death by them, and now it was someone else who was planning all this.

Guiguzi sighed: "Not only Your Majesty, but Weichen has also looked away. ”

Duan Liancheng asked, "Heavenly Master, what should I do next?"

Guiguzi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty must be prepared with both hands. First, secretly send people to contact the demon clan, Weichen still said the same thing, when today, the human race is the strongest, and the demon and demon clans can only protect themselves by an alliance. ”

Duan Liancheng nodded in agreement, agreeing.

Guiguzi continued: "These two, Your Majesty is afraid that he will have to make peace talks with the human race. ”

"What?"

Duan Liancheng was taken aback, "Listening to the meaning of Heavenly Master's words, could it be that Xiao Qi really resolved the blood feud between the human and demon clans, and promoted the peace between the two clans?"

Don't believe it!

Even he, the king of the Snow Country, the lord of the demon race, does not believe that people and the demon race can negotiate peacefully, and no one in the whole world will believe it. It's unbelievable!

"Wechen doesn't know either. ”

Guiguzi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Weichen will tell you the truth to Your Majesty, the current Seventh Prince, Weichen can't understand it anymore, and I'm afraid that no one will be able to understand him anymore." ”

Weichen even suspected that the Seventh Prince had deliberately pretended to be an arrogant and domineering prince all these years, in order to let His Majesty abandon him and exile him. ”

"This time, His Majesty sent the Seven Princes to the Demon Clan as hostages, I am afraid that they will fall into the hands of the Seven Princes. He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape His Majesty's control. ”
