Chapter 59: Fighting Poison with Poison (Part II)

Jingjing was right. But this happened too suddenly, and I was in a mess for a while, and I didn't know what to do. I really can't think of a complete plan that can properly arrange Mei Niang to enter the palace without causing an uproar. The emperor still had a bitter face.

"Why don't you go to the queen to discuss this matter? This matter must not be hidden from the queen, rather than letting the queen find out and fall into her mouth, it is better for Brother Jiu to tell her first, and to the queen to understand reason, moved with affection, Jingjing believes that the queen will eventually relent. ”

"Huh?" The Emperor didn't expect me to make such a proposal, and in his opinion, it was still difficult to talk to the Empress about this kind of thing.

"Then there will be Lao Jingjing as a lobbyist for me." The emperor really didn't have the courage to open his mouth to the empress.

"Brother Jiu personally went to tell the queen about this matter. Jingjing suggested that Brother Jiu wait until after the first month before mentioning this matter to the queen, so as not to spoil the atmosphere and mood of the New Year. "The emperor is so escapist that I am a little disappointed. And thinking of the queen's resentful expression and chatter, my scalp was numb, and naturally I would not take the initiative to ask Ying to take on such drudgery. What's more, this is the emperor and the empress's own private affairs, and if I shirk it so much, the emperor can't blame me.

"I also know that it is difficult for Jingjing to meddle in this matter, and the queen still has me to find a way. It's just that Mei Niang has to settle down properly, and this matter still needs to be arranged by Jingjing. "The emperor had no choice but to face the harsh reality.

I nodded slightly and promised: "Mei Niang can no longer stay in Ganye Temple, Jingjing will definitely arrange everything outside the palace for Brother Jiu, and Brother Jiu can rest assured." ”

In the following days, the emperor and I were busy with our own work. Of course, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and I am busy with Wu Mei's affairs. I don't know much about everything outside the palace, so I can only turn to Chu Qing for help. Chu Qing met Wu Mei about this, but she didn't know why I had to arrange a place for this young and beautiful nun. He asked, but I prevaricated in a few words. This kind of shady thing, the less people know about it, the better, and Chu Qing also knows as little as possible.

Chu Qing found a house near Yong'an Canal for Wu Mei, Wu Mei was quite satisfied, but I was worried. Yong'an Canal is one of the famous downtown areas in Chang'an, where fish and dragons are mixed, and it is easy for people to take advantage of them. Wu Mei disagreed, thinking that Da was hidden in the city, and if someone wanted to have bad intentions towards her, they should not have thought that she would hide here. In desperation, I left the trustworthy Yunqing to take care of Wu Mei closely, and announced to the outside world that Yunqing was seriously ill, and I allowed her to lie on the couch to recuperate.

As soon as the first lunar month passed, I reminded the emperor that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, Wu Mei's growing belly would be impossible to hide.

The emperor was forced to go to the Ganlu Hall to ask the empress for help. An hour later, I learned that the emperor had walked out of the hall of manna with a pale face, and it is conceivable that the negotiations between the emperor and the queen had broken down.

I sympathized with the Queen's current situation, and I was to be surprised by her categorical refusal. The queen loves the emperor deeply, and when she hears this news, it must be difficult to accept. It's just that she did this, which invisibly increased the estrangement between her and the emperor. I originally wanted to help her, but I didn't want her to fall out with the emperor completely because of this matter.

After I got the news that the emperor had left the Ganlu Hall angrily, I left Yiyuxuan. I knew that the Emperor would come to me for advice at the first time, and that I should go to the Manna Hall to lobby the Empress at the first time.
