The night was dark, and Mei Qu's thoughts couldn't help but go further.

At the beginning, he sought medical advice, but there was no way to take Jiulang's body.

It wasn't until I found the old way of the Divine Palace that I got a secret method.

Jiulang was born with poison in his body, and if he wanted to truly protect his life, there was only one feasible way, which was to find a person close to him who matched him to exchange blood regularly.

Not long after Kurou was born, his father was gone, and the remaining mother died of depression in a few years.

Mei Qu used the excuse to ask the old Taoist of the Divine Palace to see all the children and daughters of the Mei family, but none of them could match Jiulang. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered the adulterous son who had been exiled.

Later, he sent someone to find Cen Niang, and fortunately, Cen Niang and Jiulang's bloodline were matched. He took the people back to Chizhou and found a small courtyard to settle down.

Since then, Cen Niang has been trapped in that small courtyard, taking blood for Jiulang every six months for blood.

In this flash, it has been more than ten years, Jiulang's body has gradually improved a lot through recuperation, and Cen Niang's place does not need to take blood last year.

Just in case, Mei Qu still kept Cen Niang in that small courtyard.

As long as she doesn't go out, then it won't do much harm to Jiulang and the Mei family.

But Xu is because of the need to take blood to recuperate, the so-called long-term illness to become a doctor, Cen Niang imperceptibly opened up the way of medicine, and was quite appreciated by the old Taoist of the Divine Palace, and even taught her a lot of mystical arts.

From time to time, Lao Dao will also tell her about the Divine Palace, and Cen Niang is also very discerning and knows how to seize opportunities.

This time and again, she is more and more reused by the old way, and she is gradually unable to be trapped in this small courtyard.

Mei Qu looked at it coldly, he naturally knew Cen Niang's thoughts, it was nothing more than wanting to get out of this situation of being slaughtered by others.

Now that Jiulang's body is much better, since she has some ability, she might as well use it.

In any case, she is bleeding the blood of the Mei family, and even if she wants to turn over, she can't turn over his palm.

Only he didn't expect that Cen Niang would become the Yongmu princess of Da Zhou this time.

At the beginning, she injured her body and lost her vitality, even if she carefully recuperated, it would be useless, and at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, she saw that she was about to die.

Who knows, but she didn't know how to ask the old Taoist of the Divine Palace, and successfully seized Xiao Cheng, and since then she has been out of the Mei family's control.

If she hadn't revealed her identity this time, she would have teamed up with Mei to get rid of Xiao Lingjiang, I'm afraid she wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact Mei.

And the old way of the shrine......

Thinking of this, Mei Qu's eyes were slightly deep.

It is true that he and Lao Dao joined forces to subvert the Great Zhou, but Lao Dao's mind may not be as simple as it seems.

The Mei clan does have the royal blood of the previous dynasty, but after dozens of years, the shrine may not still be bent on supporting the Mei family and recovering the previous dynasty.

Who knows what he has in mind?

Mei Qu couldn't help but twist her fingertips, and her thoughts became more and more solemn.

In another place, Xiao Lingjiang lived in the Thorn Mansion peacefully, and drank tea, went shopping, and chatted with the little ladies of the Wen family for several days, but he was very comfortable.

In this way, what is it like to come to handle a case?

Wen Deliang saw that she looked calm and relaxed, and there was a feeling that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.

Princess Yong'an didn't hurry up to find out the case and go back to Yingdu, he couldn't put it down with his heart all the time!

Wen Deliang secretly tried a few times, but she blocked her with no clues for the time being.

He had to press down in his heart and let her do it.

Xiao Lingjiang looked at his dejected figure, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, this Wen Tingshi was afraid that he was not slandering her in his heart.

However, she came to Chizhou to target Mei's because of her own speculation, although she was a little sure in her heart, but when it came to handling the case, she had to tell the truth.

The Mei family is also a big family for hundreds of years, and she has always acted cautiously, how can she find out the real thing so easily?

No, when she came, even the little ladies of the Mei family rarely came out to socialize.

The head of the family, Mei Qu, she has never even seen her.

Xiao Lingjiang chuckled lightly in his heart, but he was calm.

In that case, she might as well throw a stone and ask for directions.

She raised her voice slightly and called He Zheng: "Go and make a post to the Mei family, just say that I didn't see the old head of the Mei family during the last banquet, and I regret it very much." Now I heard that his body has not been well, and I am worried about it, and I will visit the house tomorrow. ”

"Yes." He Zheng clenched his fists and took his life.

When Mei Qu received Xiao Lingjiang's post, he was leaning on the warm couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the news that Xiao Lingjiang was coming to the door tomorrow, his expression remained unchanged.

Mei Qing was a little dissatisfied on her face: "Princess Yong'an's post doesn't look like a post, but like a notice." ”

As a princess, she wants to come to Mei's house, can Mei's family still close the door and not let people in?

"Grandpa avoided her before, she endured it for a few days, and now I'm afraid she can't sit still."

Xiao Lingjiang came to Mei's family, but now he couldn't catch anything useful, didn't he just come to the door to find out the truth?

Mei Qu lifted her eyelids and said softly, "Come on." The so-called battle between the two armies, the first to move, loses. She only thinks about taking down Mei's, but our Mei's handle is not so easy to grasp. If she can't hold her breath, she'll lose most of it. ”

The arrangement of the dark place, he has almost arranged it, and he is waiting for an opportunity.

The more Xiao Ling Jiang couldn't sit still, the more he liked it.

He waved his hand: "Tell someone to clean up and prepare to entertain the distinguished guests tomorrow." ”

On the second day, when Xiao Lingjiang arrived at Mei's Mansion by carriage and horse, Mei Qing had already taken his wife and children to greet him outside.

As for Mei Qu, she is still nowhere to be seen.

"Meet Princess Yong'an!"

Xiao Lingjiang's gaze swept over everyone, and he raised his hand with a light smile: "You don't need to be polite, but I came to the door rashly today and bothered me." ”

Mei Qing straightened up and said with a smile: "What did the princess say, you are here, it is too late for us to welcome." ”

As he spoke, he enthusiastically welcomed Xiao Lingjiang into the flower hall, and the rest of the group followed them bustlingly.

Xiao Lingjiang took the tea from the maidservant, took a sip, and then asked, "I heard that Mei Gong's body is still not good these days?" ”

Mei Qing sighed and replied: "My father accidentally saw some cold in the past two days, and he couldn't even get out of the door. I couldn't come out to greet the princess in person, and I ask the princess to forgive me. ”

Xiao Lingjiang waved his hand: "It's okay." I've heard of Mei Gongxian's name early, since Mei Gong is unwell-"

She flicked her sleeves, stood up, and said, "I'll go see him myself." ”

"Don't dare to bother the princess." As soon as she finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from outside the hall.

When he greeted the voice, he saw an old man in a dark blue color robe and a cloak, slowly walking in with the support of his attendants.
