Chapter 146: Temptation, the Imperial Court Comes

Jingzhou City, the backyard garden of Taishou Mansion.

Although it is the depths of winter, the warm afternoon sun still makes people feel comfortable.

Shen Qianmo sat on a chaise longue covered with thick cushions, leisurely flipping through the scrolls. Meng Yuanheng sat next to each other, leaning back in the chair, burying his head in Shen Qianmo's shoulder and closing his eyes to recuperate, looking extremely lazy and casual.

Feeling the rare ease and no longer tense appearance of the man next to him, Shen Qianmo smiled sideways, held the scroll in one hand, and put it on his back with the other, patting it gently.

When Yun Fei strode in, what he saw was this warm and quiet scene in front of him. Seeing Meng Yuanheng's calm and peaceful sleeping face, he suddenly felt that he shouldn't have broken in at this time to disturb the peace of the two.

In the dungeon of Taishou Mansion five days ago, when Lou Xinyue's woman told the truth about the Ghost Nu River, everyone was shocked and unbelievable.

But the facts couldn't help but make them not believe it, because Lou Xinyue actually hid a secret edict from Emperor Mingde, which was an edict ordering the secret poisoning of Xianxuan King Meng Langqing.

Yun Fei really can't imagine how Meng Yuanheng, as a party concerned, has to face such a cruel fact.

They searched for seven years, found the Wuji Sect, found the Shadowless Gate, and found Meng Tianjue, but they didn't find Emperor Mingde, or they didn't go to this clue at all.

Who would have thought that as the supreme ruler of a country, Emperor Mingde would put the lives of so many soldiers at risk for his own selfish desires, just to secretly seize the military power of the former Xuan King Meng Langqing and weaken the power of the Xuan Palace.

As for Meng Yuanheng, his biological father killed his father, who had always regarded him as his own, killed 100,000 soldiers of the Meng family army who were born and died with him, and he was also killed by the strange poison in his body and his legs were crippled and almost became a waste, and he had to suffer every month for seven years. Such a bloody and cruel fact is probably difficult for anyone to accept.

Fortunately, he had such a gentle and beautiful woman by his side who could accompany him and comfort him, otherwise, Yun Fei really couldn't imagine that with Meng Yuanheng's unscrupulous temperament now, he would do anything drastic.

At this moment, he really couldn't bear to break the warm and beautiful scene in front of him, but he had to come in to report this matter, and for a while, Yun Fei, who had always been chic and uninhibited, stood at the door for a long time, a little at a loss.

Shen Qianmo raised her eyes and saw Yun Fei's hesitant appearance at the door, smiled faintly, and said to him, "Yun Fei has something to report, come in and talk." ”

Yun Fei laughed a few times, raised his feet and stepped into the threshold, and after approaching, he cautiously glanced at Meng Yuanheng, who was leaning on Shen Qianmo's shoulder and closing his eyes to recuperate, seeing that he still maintained this lazy posture, and when he heard the sound of himself approaching, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Shen Qianmo noticed a few slight twitches at the corners of Yun Fei's mouth, and couldn't help but smile, put down the scroll in his hand, carefully tussed a azure coat covering his shoulders for Meng Yuanheng, and asked him, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Meng Yuanheng seemed to be very satisfied with Shen Qianmo's action, her cheek rubbed against her shoulder, and the whole person was a little more relaxed.

Yun Fei glanced at Meng Yuanheng, who was obviously not asleep but didn't bother to open his eyes, secretly spit in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Qianmo, the person sent by the imperial court has arrived." “

Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows, but she was a little unexpected. "Who's coming so soon?"

Yun Fei grinned silently, and glanced at Meng Yuanheng, who was not moving at all, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and his tone was faintly interesting. "The Seventh Prince, Meng Tianyan, the secretary of the ministry, Liu Wensheng, and ......", he paused for a moment before continuing: "General Wuwei Fengze." ”

After speaking, Yun Fei unexpectedly saw Meng Yuanheng's eyelashes move. He chuckled to himself. Meng Yuanheng, no matter how you collapse in front of Mount Tai and remain silent, you will break your success when you hear this name.

Meng Yuanheng opened his eyes at this time and threw a brief glance at Yun Fei. This glance carried a strong threat, which made Yun Fei's heart alarmed, and he intuitively felt the danger, so he immediately put away the strange look on his face and changed it to a serious expression.

"I didn't expect Meng Tianyu to look up to us." The royal family, civil servants, military generals, and important ministers of the court are all-encompassing. Shen Qianmo smiled, glanced sideways at the man beside him who closed his eyes again, and said softly, "Ah Heng, what do you see? ”

In fact, it has always been Meng Tianheng's one-sided decree, reprimanding Meng Yuanheng for plotting treason and rebellion, but Xuanwangfu did not make any response to this, let alone blatantly declare that he had rebelled. Now Meng Tianjue has probably figured it out, or rather, the four-nation alliance that he has been planning for a long time is not going well, and he is worried that the Xuan Wangfu will come out to stir up the situation at this time, and the situation in the imperial court will be even more unfavorable at that time.

Since Meng Tianjue ascended the throne, the border of Dasheng has become more and more uneven, and small-scale wars often break out in the southwest, northeast, southeast and other places, so it is not easy for Meng Tianjue, the new emperor. On the contrary, the northwest occupied by Meng Yuanheng, because the surrounding neighbors were afraid of the strength of the Xuan Palace, they did not dare to attack easily. Therefore, since the Meng army was stationed in the northwest cities, it has become a rare place of tranquility. Because of this, no matter what other people say about Xuanwangfu, at least in the northwest, the people's support for Xuanwangfu has become deeper and deeper.

For ordinary people, in troubled times, whoever can give them a life of peace and contentment is worthy of their support and love.

This Meng Tianheng probably felt that Meng Yuanheng would not easily turn his face with the imperial court, so he thought of taking advantage of the opportunity of Shen Qianmo's survival to send people to Jingzhou City to offer condolences, one was to test Meng Yuanheng's attitude towards the imperial court, and the other was also to show his generosity in front of the world and save a little face for the Dasheng court.

Hearing Shen Qianmo ask him, Meng Yuanheng finally sat up, but he still habitually hugged Shen Qianmo's shoulder, and asked lightly towards Yunfei: "This king asked you to draw up a list of officials to be appointed in the northwest a few days ago, have you drawn up a list?" ”

Yun Fei nodded. "It's ready, it was on your desk yesterday." said this on his lips, but he was secretly crazy in his heart.

Since Qianmo came back, how many times have you been in the study? In the past, the workaholic prince when Qianmo was not there was worry, but now the prince who is too lazy to look is even worse. Yun Fei remembered the mountain-like pile of documents on the desk, and his eyes were dim.

"Well, let's do it today. Also, how is the new mansion being built? Meng Yuanheng said, leaning his head on Shen Qianmo's shoulder again.

Yun Fei knew that Meng Yuanheng's move was clearly provoking the imperial court. He grinned, "It's been ready for a long time." The mansion was originally owned by the richest man in Jingzhou City, and later the richest man moved his family, after some reconstruction, although it is not as magnificent as the Xuanwang Mansion in Shengjing, it is passable, and it is just in the center of the city. ”

In fact, these things were already being done by someone before Shen Qianmo was found, but Shen Qianmo was not found for a day, and none of them dared to bother Meng Yuanheng with these trivial matters.

"Good." Meng Yuanheng nodded and said, "Let people clean up as soon as possible." ”

His wedding to Mo'er took place in that new mansion.

Yun Fei smiled and said: "Steward Mu has been working hard these days, rest assured, the mansion has been prepared up and down, just waiting for the auspicious day to arrive, and the two of you will go to the church to get married." However, the plaque of the mansion is still up to the prince to decide. ”

Now that Meng Yuanheng's title has been taken away by Meng Tianheng's decree, they don't know what this mansion should be called, so they simply let him ask for his own title.

Meng Yuanheng didn't think about it, and said lightly: "It's still called Xuanwangfu." ”

Yun Fei raised an eyebrow. Looking at Meng Yuanheng's indifferent appearance, it was obvious that he didn't take Meng Tianheng's deprivation of his title to heart at all.

"Then how should these imperial envoys arrange?" Seeing Meng Yuanheng leaning on Shen Qianmo's shoulder, he closed his eyes and ignored him anymore, and gritted his teeth in anger, so he could only turn to look at Shen Qianmo and asked in a deep voice.

Shen Qianmo smiled helplessly, and said to Yun Fei: "Let them wait for a while, and the prince and I will go over immediately." ”

Yun Fei said goodbye and left, Shen Qianmo slightly turned his head to look at the man next to him who was leaning on his shoulder and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Ever since he learned the truth about the Kinugawa, he hadn't slept for a moment in the past few days. Seven years of forbearance, seven years of investigation, who knew that the truth in exchange for the end was so cruel and unbearable, the pain in his heart can be imagined.

Lou Xinyue was Emperor Mingde's favorite concubine, and the secret edict in her hand should not be fake.

Now that I think about it, after Lou Xinyue jumped off the cliff and disappeared, Emperor Mingde was furious and searched the entire harem up and down, inside and out.

No wonder he's so nervous. If this matter spreads, I am afraid that his throne at that time will not be stable.

Lou Xinyue stole the secret edict that day, originally wanted to use it to get close to Meng Yuanheng, but later was hurt by Meng Yuanheng's completely ruthless attitude towards her, and jumped off the cliff in despair, and the secret edict has been hidden on her. But this time, thanks to this secret edict, she was able to survive.

Yes, Meng Yuanheng did not break his promise, he did not kill her, and let her return to Beidi alive, but before leaving the dungeon, he did not hesitate to order to break her two hamstrings, as a reward for her intention to break Shen Qianmo's two legs in the Hefu dungeon.

Therefore, Lou Xinyue was carried back to Beidi, and she couldn't walk again for the rest of her life.

Meng Tianheng's intention of sending Meng Tianyan and others to Jingzhou is obvious, and the two decisions made by Meng Yuanheng just now have obviously shown his attitude towards the imperial court.

Xuanwangfu, it is no longer possible to return to the Dasheng court.
