Chapter 95: Think long-term
When Zhang Mengjie saw Long Tingxiao's expression, she knew that she had also said something and explained: "Yes, twice." Once was when the concubine entered the palace, and once when the concubine went to the imperial temple for the first time. The concubine at the Imperial Temple was certainly not Guo Xi, who was still injured at that time, and the assassin could not see any signs of injury at all. That is to say, there is only one time on the way to the palace. ”
Long Tingxiao said: "I remember that time in the Imperial Temple, Gonggong Su went with you. ”
Zhang Mengjie understood what he meant and said: "Yes, at that time, the concubine didn't want to expand the matter due to the special situation, and the concubine didn't have anything to do in the end?" ”
Long Tingxiao said: "Don't hide anything from me in the future." ”
Zhang Mengjie was subconsciously agreed to him by Long Tingxiao's serious expression: "Okay, let's get down to business, the concubine and Guo Xi should have no personal grudges, and the concubine and Guo Xi have never met before." It was clear that they were going to kill their concubines. They are not from Longcheng, and if they can know so well the time and route of the concubines entering the palace, it means that someone has sent them a communication, and the emperor should not forget Yu Linglong. ”
Long Tingxiao said: "This can only say that they have misdeeds in Dragon City, and we have no empirical evidence. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Since they all have this mind about Longcheng, it shows that their ambition is not small, doesn't the emperor think that Yuncheng is a treasure land?" The concubines expected that the old lady's illness was also related to them. ”
Long Tingxiao said: "This matter is difficult to do. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "So we have to think long-term. ”
Long Tingxiao said: "What is Jie'er's plan? ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Start with Guo Xi......"
Early the next morning, Mrs. Xiao heard that Yue Gongzi was going to treat her, so she ordered someone to clean her up early.
The city lord of Yuncheng and Xiao Mei'er were also waiting for Prince Mingyue in the living room early in the morning.
It may be that the two of them came too early, and after waiting for a long time, no one came, Xiao Meier said: "Why haven't you come yet?" Brother, did they lie to us? ”
The city lord of Yuncheng said: "No, Prince Mingyue does not govern people easily, and he will keep his promise if he agrees." ”
Xiao Mei'er said: "Then why haven't you come yet, didn't you say early in the morning?" ”
"Maybe I was tired from traveling yesterday, so wait" Suddenly, the eyes of the city lord of Yuncheng lit up and said, "It's here!" ”
The city lord of Yuncheng and Xiao Mei'er greeted the people at the door when they saw them: "Everyone, please! ”
Long Tingxiao said: "Lord Xiao is polite! ”
As soon as he entered, he saw the meal that had been prepared, and the city lord of Yuncheng said, "Xiao is just ......"
A few people came in just now and didn't see the old lady to know what the city lord of Yuncheng meant.
Long Tingxiao said: "I can understand the thoughts of City Lord Xiao. However, it is best to wait for the people of Changyi City and Yusha Kingdom to use this meal. It is also inappropriate for City Lord Xiao to be absent at this time. ”
Xiao Mei'er said: "Brother Dongfang used to come early, what happened today?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "That's because Miss Xiao is not in a hurry to do one thing on weekdays. ”
In the eager waiting of the city lord of Yuncheng and Xiao Mei'er, they finally saw Dongfang Rui holding Yu Xiuwen's hand and happily saying something with their people.
"Why did City Lord Xiao put the meal here today?" Dongfang Rui looked at the food on the table.
The city lord of Yuncheng said: "You guys are discussing here, and the weather is not good these days, so Xiao Mou asked people to bring the food directly here." ”
"It's still City Lord Xiao who thinks thoughtfully." Dongfang Rui said and pulled Yu Xiuwen to sit on the upper seat.
The city lord of Yuncheng and Xiao Meier were worried about seeing their mother's doctor, so they ate very quickly. As one of the parties, Mingyue Gongzi was the first to eat well.
Long Tingxiao and Zhang Mengjie, who knew the reason, also ate faster than usual, and the people next to them also unconsciously sped up.
In the end, only Dongfang Rui and Zhu Yanlian were still eating, maybe everyone stopped chopsticks, maybe there were not many dishes left in the bowl, and the two also stopped chopsticks.
Zhu Yanlian also said wistfully: "The concubine hasn't eaten yet." ”
Hearing Zhu Yanlian say that he hadn't eaten yet, Dongfang Rui's brows tightened, but the next words of the Yuncheng City Lord made his face sink even more.
Xiao asked Mingyue Gongzi to see a doctor for his mother, but Xiao didn't accompany him. I'll leave it to you for now. I wonder how long you'll be discussing? Later, Xiao asked someone to bring some pastries. ”
"Your Majesty, what you are talking about next is that it is not appropriate for the concubines to be here, it is better to take advantage of this time to see Old Madam Xiao if you have nothing to do." Zhang Mengjie said.
"Okay." Long Tingxiao said.
Concubine De just wanted to say that she was also with her, but Zhu Yanlian said: "Didn't the emperor bring his concubines to agree to discuss with the concubines?" It's unruly! ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Although my parents died early, I often hear people say that filial piety comes first, and marriage follows her husband. I came out this time because the queen mother asked me to take care of the emperor, and the emperor never told me about discussing together, so I really didn't know that we were also involved. But just now the emperor has promised me to go to see Mrs. Xiao, so if there is no result in today's discussion, I will come with the emperor again tomorrow. Empress Zhu will not blame me for being virtuous and virtuous, right, Empress Zhu? ”
Zhu Yanlian was proud of Zhang Mengjie's flattery, and disdainful of herself, and raised her head arrogantly.
Dongfang Jue was annoyed by Zhu Yanlian's ignorance and didn't dare to speak out because of Dongfang Rui and Changyi Cheng's faces, so he had to say: "Guo Xi, you go and talk to Linglong, she doesn't have to serve this king when discussing things, take advantage of this time to greet Mrs. Xiao for her mother." ”
"Yes." Guo Xi answered and went out.
"City Lord Xiao, shouldn't we go?" Mingyue Gongzi said.
"Of course, the bright moon boy comes with me." The main road of Yuncheng City.
When the group came to the old lady's residence, Zhang Mengjie found that the city lord of Yuncheng really cared about the old lady Xiao. The interior is well furnished. There are living rooms, dining halls, kitchenettes, and bedrooms. Zhang Mengjie noticed that all the furnishings were neat and clean, and they should have just been cleaned.
Old Madam Xiao was a little excited when she saw that Prince Mingyue really came to treat her: "Prince Mingyue, it's hard work!" ”
Mingyue Gongzi said: "The old lady doesn't have to be like this, Mingyue is a doctor." Old Madam Xiao, please take a seat, Mingyue will take the pulse for you. ”
When Mingyue Gongzi was checking the pulse of Mrs. Xiao, a servant came over with pastries and tea.
Zhang Mengjie handed Qingfeng some pastries from time to time, which made Yu Linglong, who was already a little hungry on an empty stomach, feel even more hungry.
Waiting for the Mingyue Gongzi to finish taking the pulse, the Yuncheng City Lord asked anxiously: "Mingyue Gongzi, my mother's illness?" ”
Mingyue Gongzi said: "Old Madam Xiao's physique is inferior to that of ordinary children, and the most important thing now is to take care of Old Madam Xiao's body." Mingyue didn't know the drugs that Old Madam Xiao used before, so she didn't dare to prescribe prescriptions at will to avoid the drugs clinging. ”
Old Madam Xiao said: "This is easy to say, I have been using the medicine of my nephew in the East all these years, and I will bring it to Prince Mingyue." ”
Old Madam Xiao took out a bottle of pills from a box and handed it to Mingyue Gongzi, Mingyue Gongzi took out a pill and smelled it, and his face changed slightly.
