Chapter 182: The Past

Meng Qing was silent.

She did suspect and worry about Lingyu, but in the end, she had indeed dissociated herself from Xiao Yan and them, otherwise she would have revealed such a big secret as the Yizhou Treasure House.

What are you worried about?

should be worried that if she fails, Lingyu, the person who betrayed Xiao Yan, has nowhere to go, at least give her a way to survive and keep her away from these disputes.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to hand her over to Liang Yinqiu, who holds the military power.

Meng Qing showed a crescent-like smile as if she was nothing, and only she knew how much bitterness was hidden in it.

"What nonsense do you say, in a few days, you will know."

Lingyu's mind was confused, she didn't know what Meng Qing was going to do.

And what is it that makes her unwilling to tell her now?

"The Emperor's ......"

Meng Qing soothed: "You haven't been in a good state lately, let's go down and rest first, just change Yunhe or Zhu'an." ”

Lingyu shook his head aggrievedly, the corners of his lips pulled down, and his eyes were sad.

"How much better are you than a slave now? The slave still wants to stay with you, and doesn't want to go anywhere. ”

"Well, let it be."

Ling blessed his body and exited the inner sanctum sideways.

The vermilion window is ajar, and the heat thrown in also melts in an instant, and although the wind power of the enamel seven-page fan is small, it can also bring her a trace of coolness.

She looked at the heat surging outside the Lingmen, churning on the blue brick surface, and the cicadas chirping chaotically.

Xiao Nanzi bowed his head at this time and respectfully came in from outside the hall, and made a big salute before stopping the case.

"Your Majesty, King Yong has returned from Tingzhou."

Meng Qing couldn't lift his spirits, so he only said lightly: "Let Uncle Huang come in." ”

"Yes."

Xiao Nanzi withdrew from the hall and went to Tongyu.

Subsequently, Meng Tingchuan wore a purple robe, the robe was embroidered with silver silk unicorn patterns, walked in all directions, his posture was tall and upright, lifted the robe, and crossed the threshold to enter.

He respectfully bowed: "Weichen sees the emperor, and the emperor bows to Jin'an." ”

"Excuse me, Uncle Huang."

She was weak.

"Emperor Xie!"

Meng Tingchuan got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body.

He reported seriously: "Your Majesty, the matter you asked Weichen to investigate has already been decided." ”

"Say it, I'll listen."

"Yes. These days, Weichen hurried to Tingzhou to explore the clan behind Mrs. Xiao, Tingzhou Xiao. This Tingzhou Xiao clan is not a famous family, just a down-and-out family, and there are very few clansmen, but with the unremitting efforts of Wei Chen, he still found a rather useful Xiao clansman. ”

"I remember that his parents died, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals."

Meng Tingchuan lowered his head and acquiesced, "What the emperor said is good. Weichen did ask Mrs. Xiao's former neighbors, and he did eat a hundred family meals, but it was only for a few months. According to the clues provided by the local villagers, it was learned that Mrs. Xiao was not the son and child of the Xiao couple, but was adopted, and Mrs. Xiao was already ten years old when she was adopted. ”

Meng Qing was stunned, "Ten years old!?" How could it be ......"

"Wechen will not be mistaken, he is ten years old. When he first came to the Xiao family, he was ten years old and unusually taciturn, without the vitality of his peers, indifferent to the care of the Xiao family and his relatives. What's even more strange is that he was only ten years old at that time, but he was proficient in everything, his poetry and singing were not inferior to his talents, and his piano, chess, and martial arts were very comparable. ”

"Later."

Later, the Xiao couple treated him as their own and accompanied him almost every day, so he naturally chose to accept it, and chose to accept everything here. But such a good time was fleeting, and one day the Xiao couple died suddenly for some reason, leaving Xiao Yan alone. The neighbors in this neighborhood saw him pitiful, abandoned by his family at a young age, and finally found a warm home, but he suffered miserably, so they spontaneously sent him food. ”

Meng Qing's eyes were slightly red.

It turned out that his childhood was also so miserable......

It turned out that she had never known him......

"After the hundred family meals were delivered for a while, the villagers found that there was always a group of mysterious people in the Xiao family who would come in and out here, and each of them was five big and three thick, and they didn't look like good people. The local people felt strange, and it was naturally rumored that Xiao Yan killed the Xiao family, which caused the matter to become more and more serious, and many neighbors were dissatisfied and came to the door to crusade, almost cutting off any of Mrs. Xiao's rations. He was only eleven years old at the time, and he was alone and miserable and endured the insults of the whole village......"

No wonder Xiao Yan's temperament is so eccentric, sometimes gentle as jade, sometimes crazy as a wolf dog, it turns out that in his childhood, he had such a miserable life.

"He survived this while, and almost everyone in the village regarded him as a disaster star and avoided him. However, the Xiao family in Tingzhou is scarce, and only one person has been found so far, and that person is Xiao Yan's nominal uncle. ”

"Uncle? I've never heard of him having any uncles......"

"The emperor hasn't heard of it, his uncle rarely returns home, and he wanders outside all the year round, but he knows the inside story. When the Xiao couple had been married for many years and had no children, they thought about fostering a child, and they searched for a long time and finally found a businessman from the Jin Kingdom. The businessman's rhetoric to the Xiao couple was, 'His son Yan was born in the outer room, and his wife was jealous, so it was not suitable for him to return to his ancestors and recognize his ancestors, so he entrusted Brother Xiao to take care of his younger brother, and then his son recognized him under Brother Xiao's knees, and he was the Xiao family for the rest of his life'. ”

But the uncle was returning home at this time, and overheard the merchant's conversation. Only then did he know that everything the merchant said was a lie at all, how could there be any wife in the outer room, if he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, this Xiao Yan was clearly the eldest son of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, and the purpose of incognito was also to subvert the Chu State. ”

After hearing the last sentence, Meng Qing trembled inexplicably, as if he was frightened, and it took a long time to recover.

"To subvert ...... Chu? ”

This is his ultimate goal.

Everything he did turned out to be for the Jin Kingdom, and the wolf was so ambitious that he wanted to annex them!

How is this possible!

No, it's absolute.

In the last life, he succeeded, the state of Chu belonged to him, and she also died on the Jinluan Palace.

Meng Qing suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, and she couldn't stand up, she held on to the table and gradually tried to find a way to support herself.

But helplessly, she still fell back on the dragon chair as if she was physically exhausted, making a sound of jade shattering.

"Your Majesty! You...... Are you okay? ”

Meng Tingchuan was dusty, running around for a long time, and his face was also darkened, tired but not losing his bearing.

Her brain was like the call of 10,000 flies "buzzing-" inside, and the noise made her head split, and she wanted to hit the table hard.

"You...... I'm fine, you go down first. ”

"Your Majesty, if there is a need, Weichen will be ready to be dispatched at any time, support the emperor and the queen mother, and ensure the safety of Quan Yujing, and will not let the Jin thief succeed!"
