There was not a single cloud in the clear night sky, the crescent moon hung in the dark, and the stars were bright.

Xiao Yan withdrew from the hall, looked at Meng Qing deeply, and left quietly after giving up.

Meng Qing sat on his knees limp on the ground, listless and depressed.

Meng Fei squinted his eyes and swept her, and his small mouth was endless.

"It's all your fault, if you didn't insist on protecting the surnamed Lu, how could you attract Mrs. Xiao, how could you kneel here, and the most important thing is that you have to be fined and grounded."

Meng Qing put his hands on his knees weakly, and he didn't want to compete with Meng Fei anymore.

She said, "Just stop for a while, and kneel for two and a half hours." ”

Meng Fei hammered his knees aggrievedly, it hurt and sore, it was not too funny.

"Otherwise, you go and beg your father, you are your father's favorite princess, maybe he will be light on you and me after listening to your words."

Meng Qing glanced at her with disgust and said, "Don't go, why do you have to let me go?" You go on your own. ”

"I'm not going either."

"Oh."

As she spoke, Meng Fei looked back at the direction in which Xiao Yan was leaving, thoughtfully, and at this moment, her knees moved to Meng Qing's side.

She asked curiously, "Aren't you the best relationship with Mrs. Xiao on weekdays?" Why didn't he intercede for you this time? ”

"I don't know."

"Don't know? How could you not know? ”

Meng Qing pursed her lips irritably and moved to the side, trying to escape from her.

"Why are you hiding from me?"

"Third sister, aren't you tired?"

"Tired, but I want to know more why he didn't speak for you."

“……”

Meng Qing chose to shut up.

If you really talk about it, no one in this world can guess what Xiao Yan is thinking.

The relationship between them is always close and far, hot and cold. Maybe this time she felt that she really had to be sharpened, so she brought them to Emperor Chu for disposal.

She looked up at the starry sky, and the corner of the cornice was pressed tightly against the back of the crescent, as if the moon had been plucked and set in the sharp corners.

I don't know how long it took, but she couldn't help but fall asleep as she looked at it.

Until a shadow enveloped the two of them, obscuring the dim candles in the temple.

Meng Fei directly woke up Meng Qing with an elbow.

"Huh?"

She looked at Meng Fei with puzzled eyes, and when she rolled her eyes, she found that Emperor Chu was looking down on her condescendingly.

Meng Qing hurriedly knelt down.

"Father."

Chu Huang just wanted to have a seizure, but it can be seen that the two of them tossed until the middle of the night, and they couldn't bear it after all.

"Sleepy?"

Meng Qing didn't dare to reply.

I heard a long sigh from my head.

"That's it, you two go back to the palace."

Meng Fei's eyes instantly turned color, and she looked at Emperor Chu's eyes, as if she saw the light of salvation.

"Thank you, Father!"

Almost all of Meng Fei's palace maids were scolded by Chen Jiazhuan for thirty boards, and they wailed in the Rosewood Palace, so they could only send a palace maid to serve Meng Fei casually.

She staggered out of the palace one by one, and was finally carried out of the palace in a sedan chair.

Meng Qing held his head high and stubbornly looked up at his father.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

She said softly: "What does my father plan to do with Zhuzhu?" ”

"I ......"

"Father, Zhu Zhu is just a businessman, and she has never had the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and it is not her wish to provoke Jiang Heng. The son begged his father to spare Lu Yuzhu's life. ”

Meng Qing slammed his head on the ground.

She knew that as an emperor, in order to prevent the scandal of the royal family, she would inevitably take some strong measures to silence him.

Therefore, she has to strike first to prevent Emperor Chu from attacking her.

Emperor Chu frowned, almost twisted into a Sichuan character.

He said helplessly: "You get up first." ”

Meng Qing didn't listen.

"Ask my father to spare Zhu Zhu's life."

She was so worried that he would attack one of his merchant women for the sake of royal reputation?

It's a pity that he is not this kind of emperor who will do anything to achieve his goals.

Emperor Chu squatted down and lifted Meng Qing up from the cold floor tiles.

He said, "I won't hurt her." ”

The girl's eyes were clear and simple, like the starlight dotted in the dark curtain on a summer night, without a trace of dust.

She smiled.

"The son thanked his father."

"Let's go back."

"Yes."

Qingluan Palace.

After Meng Qing went back, he lay on the Luohan couch after bathing and washing, and his knees were difficult to straighten.

Lingyu was distressed and drugged her on the side.

Little by little, the cold ointment touched her red, swollen and blue knees, and the fragrance of the medicine had already covered the angelica incense burned in the house, and it was fresh.

"My lord is really, why don't you know how to protect Your Highness a little ......?"

Lingyu's distressed tears swirled, and the strength of his hands was not too heavy.

Meng Qing rubbed his temples lightly, his face was so flat that there were no waves, and said: "Today's matter, Meng Fei is also there, he is not blatantly partial to anyone." ”

"But the relationship between His Highness and your lord is so good......

"I'm just a pawn he can discard at any time after weighing the pros and cons."

“…… Your Highness, don't be so arrogant, the slaves and maids can see that your majesty likes Your Highness very much. ”

Meng Qing was silent.

Like...... What's the use?

For an ambitious minister like Xiao Yan, he is already planning how to control her and control the court in the future.

There is still more than half a year to go, and she must rush to Jinguan City immediately after being grounded, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to come back to fight for the throne.

During this time, she had to add fire to Xiao Yan to prevent him from changing his mind to support the new master after she left Beijing.

He must be told to die.

……

Next.

Meng Qing slept soundly until noon before waking up, and after washing, he finished his meal and buried his head in front of the bookcase.

No one knew what she was writing about, and they didn't dare to go up and disturb her.

Partial Lingyu was not bound by the palace, and came in with a plate of grapes, and she picked up the manuscript on the ground and unfolded it to look at it.

"Taifu, today is the first day of the grounding, I think of you and remember your ......"

When Meng Qing heard her read it, her face turned red in an instant, and she said in shame: "Shut up!" Who told you to read it? Give it to me! ”

Lingyu held back a smile and hurriedly handed the manuscript back to her.

The jade plate was placed next to the desk, and she leaned over curiously to see what Meng Qing was writing.

As a result, Meng Qing reacted greatly, subconsciously covered his palm, and said, "Go out!" ”

Lingyu actually glanced at it and knew what she had written, so she was about to finish her words with a smile.

"Your Highness, since it is a love letter, you have to write as much as you want, you can write as much as you want, why care about your face? You know, face is not worth mentioning in the face of love! ”

After Meng Qing's careful thinking was exposed, she deliberately pretended to be serious, "I, how can this princess write love letters, she is obviously practicing calligraphy, you are a little palace maid, what do you know?" Go, go, do your job! ”

The ghost knows how miserable Lingyu was holding back her laughter, and she nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
