Chapter 58: A Female Corpse Emerges
Hearing Gonggong Li's communication, Emperor Mingde's face was obviously stiff, and he spoke up after a while: "Xuan." ”
Not long after, a middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes and dignified appearance walked into the hall quickly, just because her son Meng Tianxuan was imprisoned in the prison, presumably she had not had a good rest for several days, her eyes were red at this time, and her face was haggard.
Seeing that Emperor Mingde had woken up, Concubine Xian burst into tears for a while, knelt down in front of the bed, and cried to Emperor Mingde: "Your Majesty, please spare Lu'er, he really just missed for a while, and he definitely didn't mean it!." ”
Emperor Mingde snorted. Of course, he knew that the fourth child was not intentional, just with his stupid simplicity, how could he do such a thing, it was possible to be taken advantage of. He just wanted to take the opportunity to see which of these sons could be helped up.
Thinking of his unsuccessful sons, he felt panicked in his heart.
Another reason was that he was angry at the time. He has always considered himself wise and powerful, and his energy is outstanding, but he was beaten by a polo kick by the fourth child, and he was in a coma for so many days.
Concubine Xian sobbed and kept crying and begging, Emperor Mingde was a little impatient, but he couldn't slap himself in the face. So he turned his head to Shen Qianmo and said, "Shen family girl, you should tell me, what should I do with the four princes?" ”
Shen Qianmo cursed secretly. You old emperor is really insidious, you can't get off the stage yourself, and you have to pull me into the water.
She pondered for a while, and said carefully: "The crime of the four princes should be punished, but you come and go on the sports field, and it is normal for you to miss for a while. The emperor is benevolent and generous, reasonable, and these days he has imprisoned the four princes in the prison, presumably just to punish the four princes with a big commandment, so that he must remember not to be so reckless in the future, and ask the virtuous concubine to relax. The emperor has just woken up, his body is still very weak, and he needs to recuperate, why don't you go back to recuperate first, and come to Funing Hall tomorrow to serve the sick? ”
She once heard Meng Yuanheng say that among the princes of Emperor Mingde, Meng Tianxuan, the fourth prince, was the most simple-minded and straightforward, and he didn't understand these twists and turns, and the accident on the polo field must have been a momentary miss. How could Emperor Mingde not know? He just needed a step down.
I don't know how many steps I laid for him, is he satisfied?
After saying this, Emperor Mingde couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart. This girl of the Shen family really has some insight and courage, such sharp teeth and wit, with Meng Yuanheng's kid, it is more than enough.
Concubine Xian Niangniang listened to Shen Qianmo's words, she suddenly opened, she cast a grateful look at Shen Qianmo, and immediately made a request to Emperor Mingde to come early tomorrow morning to serve the sick, and then accepted it and retired to Emperor Mingde.
Her son should be fine, and on the way back to her bedroom, she thought about it and felt a lot more relieved. The woman who said just now to relieve her from the siege must be the future Princess Xuan who has been rumored in the capital recently.
After Concubine Xian retreated, Emperor Mingde leaned on the head of the bed and stared at Shen Qianmo with an inexplicable expression, and she felt a little furious in her heart.
It is said that a companion is like a tiger, did you say something wrong just now?
Shen Qianmo lowered her eyebrows and stood quietly beside the bed, but at this time, she heard Emperor Mingde spit out a shout full of anger.
"Shen girl, you are so bold!"
Gonggong Li, who was waiting next to him, trembled, and he didn't dare to breathe when he stood aside. secretly said in his heart: What's wrong with the emperor, he seemed to appreciate Princess Xuan just now, why did he get angry all of a sudden?
Shen Qianmo was also taken aback in her heart. Did what he just said really annoy him? There was no way, she could only kneel on the ground again, pretending to be very frightened and said: "The courtiers don't dare, just now they just confessed their true thoughts in front of the emperor, and they didn't want to be hypocritical in front of the emperor. ”
"Why are you so sure that I will let go of the Four Princes so easily?" Emperor Mingde was still angry, and his tone was stern.
Shen Qianmo secretly rolled her eyes, and said in her belly: Isn't that what you mean, it's just that you can't pull your face down in front of Concubine Xian, I'll help you say it, and you're still angry. Such an awkward temper is a bit like Meng Yuanheng's guy.
It's just that there is still a respectful look on his face. "The emperor is aware of everything, and he will definitely understand the innocence of the four princes."
Shen Qianmo felt that she was really sad. This is your Meng family's own family affairs, okay, the fourth prince is your son, you can be locked up for as long as you like, and she has a half-dime relationship.
"Alright, get up. I was just seen through by you, and I felt that some old faces couldn't hang up for a while, so don't take it to heart. Emperor Mingde suddenly became pleasant again.
Shen Qianmo was really powerless to vomit. Your Majesty the Emperor, are you schizophrenic, this is scary, do you think it's funny?
At this moment, the palace maid who was waiting outside the palace came to report again: "Your Majesty, Prince Xuan is asking to see you outside." ”
Why did he come back again? Shen Qianmo thought puzzled. Emperor Mingde had just woken up, and he knew the news so quickly?
Emperor Mingde smiled knowingly. "Let him in."
In the flickering candlelight, the man who was as cold as jade but had a tight face shook his wheelchair alone and slowly entered the hall, although he was dressed in black, depressed and gloomy, but in Shen Qianmo's eyes, he was still arrogant and dazzling.
Meng Yuanheng pushed the wheelchair and slowly stopped in front of the dragon bed.
"Minister Meng Yuanheng, see the emperor." The tone was still as flat as ever, but Shen Qianmo always felt that his performance today was a little unusual.
When Emperor Mingde saw Meng Yuanheng, there was a flash of light in his eyes, but it was only a flash.
He calmly took a sip of the tea offered by Gonggong Li, and said to Meng Yuanheng jokingly: "King Xuan came here late at night, is he worried about me, or is he worried about your future princess?" ”
When Shen Qianmo heard this, her face was a little unnatural. Unexpectedly, this emperor not only gossiped, but also loved to laugh. Is it really appropriate to make jokes about your own courtiers on such an occasion?
Meng Yuanheng's face did not change, and he still said coldly: "Since the emperor is fine, can you let Mo'er go back to rest." There are so many women in the palace, presumably it will not be Mo'er's turn to serve the sick. ”
He admitted that he was really angry when he heard Meng Tianyu say that he wanted Shen Qianmo to accompany him for one night.
Why did his Mo'er come to accompany this old man!
Hearing Meng Yuanheng's disrespectful tone, Emperor Mingde didn't care, smiled meaningfully, and said: "You kid, this hasn't been married yet, so you protect it so tightly, if you become a parent, you will have it." That's it, I'm tired, so you all go down. ”
Shen Qianmo glanced at Meng Yuanheng with some surprise. The emperor was particularly indulgent to him. However, she thought about it for a moment, and it was not unreasonable for the emperor to be good to him.
Xuan Wangfu has made many contributions to the Dasheng Dynasty, several generations of Xuan Wangs have died on the battlefield, and Meng Yuanheng became physically disabled at a young age for the Dasheng Dynasty, the emperor feels guilty about him, and it is normal to be more tolerant.
Since Emperor Mingde agreed to let her go, of course she would not miss such a good opportunity to get out. She didn't want to stay in this empty and unpopular palace at all. So, after waiting for some precautions from Li Gong's bus, she pushed Meng Yuanheng out of Funing Palace.
It was already the third watch, the palace gate had been closed, and it was impossible for Shen Qianmo to go home now. Fortunately, Emperor Mingde was quite kind, and allocated her a room in the side hall next to the Funing Palace, so that she could rest for a night.
The palace maid who led the way was waiting on the side, and Shen Qianmo could only say goodbye to Meng Yuanheng in a hurry. Meng Yuanheng silently held her hand and stared at her stupidly.
Something must be wrong with this guy! Shen Qianmo frowned slightly. She crouched down, faced him, and asked, "Ah Heng, what's wrong with you, did something happen?" ”
Meng Yuanheng smiled slightly, but with a little bitterness. He resisted the urge to hug her into his arms, shook his head, looked at her baba, and said in a low tone: "I just don't want to be separated from Mo'er." ”
She glanced at him helplessly, patted the back of his hand, and said, "Hurry up and go back to rest, tomorrow morning, I will return to the Gongfu, you yourself be careful in everything." ”
There are many people in the palace, and it is really not a good place to talk to each other. Shen Qianmo understood his cold attitude towards him in the Funing Hall today, and it must have been another way to protect her.
Situ Gong was already waiting on the sidelines. Shen Qianmo nodded at him, and wanted to ask him about the progress of the cold poison antidote, but after thinking about it, he still gave up. When you are in the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must be careful in every step.
The unfamiliar environment, the unfamiliar bed, everything made Shen Qianmo unaccustomed. She lay on a fairly spacious bed in the side hall with her clothes untied, and she had no sleep all night.
It's really the experience of this day that makes her a little foggy until now. In just one day, she basically got to know several important members of the royal family in the Dasheng Dynasty. Now her mind flashed their shadows one by one like a movie.
The eldest prince made her feel dangerous, the third prince made people unable to see through, and the seventh prince looked harmless but definitely not simple. Princess Yaohua is rude, Princess Qionghua is quiet, but sometimes the quieter the person, the more dangerous it is. and that Concubine Li, which always made Shen Qianmo feel that there seemed to be some story between her and Meng Yuanheng.
In the second half of the night, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by a torrential rain. Shen Qianmo pillowed the sound of rain and fell asleep unconsciously.
In a daze, Shen Qianmo was awakened by the noise that gradually sounded outside the hall, and looked at the sky, which had already revealed the white of the fish's belly. She got up, straightened out the clothes on her body, called the palace maid who was waiting outside to wash her face, washed up a little, and thought about whether she should go to see Emperor Mingde, and say goodbye to him by the way.
It's just that I don't know if he is still resting, will he be angry with Long Yan if he goes to disturb him so early?
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a scream from outside in the distance: "Dead! Dead! ”
