138 The fate of the prince
As soon as Meng Yu arrived at the corner gate on the west side of the Emperor's Palace, suddenly a paper ball wrapped in stones flew over, and Meng Yu caught it. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun pavilion must wait for him to reach the gate of the palace before throwing this paper ball, which is obviously aimed at him. He opened it and took a look, and a dodge entered the harem through the corner gate. Although it was a palace, men were not allowed to enter the harem, so he walked against the outermost side of the palace wall painted with red powder.
It was just before dinner, there were almost no people, and it was even more off-the-beaten-path. Sure enough, he soon spotted a pink corner behind a tall rockery. Meng Yu looked over and saw that it was really her.
"Miss Moonorie, what are you looking for me?"
Du Yueying is already a concubine, and her clothes are luxurious and unassuming: "Gongzi Meng, the emperor is about to leave for Beijing, Yueying doesn't know if Gongzi is also going, there are two things to explain to Gongzi." ”
Her well-decorated but delicate face was full of anxiety, and it seemed that her mood was much calmer than when they met before.
"Girl, please speak. ”
Du Yueying said anxiously: "First, the emperor is also dissatisfied with Shen Hechang, and is using Lord Meng to suppress him, but Lord Meng should be more careful, the emperor has not rested that heart;"
Meng Yu sighed, this vicious and insidious emperor.
Du Yueying hurriedly said the next one: "The emperor is good to me, he and the queen are not monolithic, now Lord Xiao must be in a very bad situation, Yueying stays with the emperor and only wants to help the adult get rid of the crime one day." Please also ask Gongzi and Master Meng not to forget Lord Xiao. ”
After saying that, she was about to kneel down for Meng Yu, but Meng Yu hurriedly stopped her: "My father and I are both responsible for this matter, and the girl herself must be careful in the palace." ”
Du Yueying nodded.
Meng Yu whispered: "I'll go first, you also hurry back, be careful not to let others see it." ”
Meng Yu and Du Yueying separated, thinking that Du Yueying would also live well for Xiao Zhengyi's family, so that she could help them, and she would settle down for a while. He was afraid that someone would see him if he continued to walk in the harem, so he hurriedly turned over to the palace wall with both feet, and went around to the front door from outside the palace, and entered the palace from the front door for the second time to find Liu Cheng.
Unexpectedly, on the road, he met Shen Hechang, a team of officials and guards behind, and Shen Wanhua, who was running around and was about to break in the previous dynasty. Meng Yu stepped forward and saluted: "Meng Yu greets Lord Shen." ”
Shen Hechang was very polite to Meng Yu, after all, he was the one who saved his daughter: "Ah, Meng Yu." Will you also go back to Beijing with the emperor?"
After all, he was a member of the imperial court and an elder, Meng Yu bowed down respectfully and replied: "My lord, the emperor wants Meng Yu to return to Beijing together, and he is currently preparing." ”
Because the matter of going to Jiangnan alone was not made public, Meng Yu still quietly said that he was going to the capital.
Shen Hechang laughed: "The emperor trusts you very much, do it well." ”
Meng Yu replied without humility or arrogance: "Lord Xie, if there is nothing to do, Meng Yu wants to do things in the palace, so he will retire first." ”
Shen Hechang looked at Meng Yu, but smiled slightly: "You are entrusted by the emperor, and things are busy, hurry up." Benjue was ordered by the emperor to go to King Ti Kangming and be imprisoned separately. This king will escort King Kangming back to Beijing in advance, and he will not go with the emperor. ”
Meng Yu was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Shen Wanhua.
Shen Wanhua's eyes widened, her brows frowned, Meng Yu knew that this emperor looked ridiculous on the surface, but he had his own calculations in his heart, which was very insidious.
Meng Yu remained silent: "My lord is busy with official business, so Meng Yu will retire first." ”
He took a few steps back and let Shen Hechang pass, and Shen Wanhua also followed his father, but looked back at Meng Yu again, and his big apricot eyes were full of grievances and grievances.
Meng Yu avoided her gaze, but her mind was spinning rapidly. Since Shen Hechang clearly told himself about escorting King Kang Ming back to Beijing, it means that his father must know about this matter. Otherwise, Shen Hechang would definitely not take the initiative to say it, he would be afraid that he would tell Meng Dingguo and then cause trouble for him.
When Shen Hechang and his entourage walked over, he hurriedly ran to find Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng is still so fat, and he still walks so slowly.
He was sitting outside his hut under the porch and chatting with the little eunuchs, looking very leisurely, like an ordinary fat old man. Seeing Meng Yu, Liu Cheng stood up and said with a smile: "Meng Gongzi returned to Xiyuzhou, but he didn't come to be a close guard for the emperor, and he didn't have enough money to spend, right?"
It seems that Meng Dingguo has solved the most threatening thing for him, and he has become the cunning and experienced emperor's chief eunuch again.
Remembering that he was a palace guard before, Meng Yu himself felt funny: "Gonggong Liu, don't joke with Meng Yu, I just saw Shen Hechang go to King Kangming." ”
Liu Cheng let Meng Yu into the house and personally brought Meng Yu a cup of tea: "Sit down and drink saliva first." ”
Meng Yu realized that he was really thirsty after being busy for most of the day, and remembered that he had only been received for a moment when he went to his father's place, and his father didn't even give him water to drink. He took a sip of the teacup, and looked at Liu Cheng's own cottage, which was much more neat than the original, and some of the furnishings were also seen to be thoughtful, and some exquisite and elegant furnishings were replaced, and the teacups and tea sets were also very exquisite. I remember that Liu Cheng was either revolving around the emperor before, or worrying about his unsuccessful nephew, who was busy every day, but he couldn't see his own nature. The room is also simple, although it is the big eunuch next to the emperor, but there is no appearance of calm enjoyment.
I didn't expect to see each other for two months, but I actually paid attention to it.
Liu Cheng also picked up the teacup, let Meng Yu smile and took a sip himself, and then asked steadily: "You just saw the Duke of Zhenguo go to King Tikangming? The emperor also has his own thoughts." ”
He put the thin porcelain teacup on the table: "Actually, King Kangming was originally protected by Lord Meng, and this time something happened, Lord Meng avoided suspicion and did not speak for him, so he declared to the emperor that he would not interfere with King Kangming's disposal." However, first mention the capital to be tried, which was also discussed by the emperor and Lord Meng. ”
Meng Yu nodded: "This is also expected, it's just that King Kang Ming is pitiful, but this time it is inevitable to suffer." ”
Liu Cheng laughed twice: "It will take a few days for Shen Hechang to leave Xiyuzhou, and the things he worries about are not finished yet." But it is not a matter for King Kangming to be placed in the palace, and the emperor wants him to taste the real foundation of prison. However, although he is not the emperor's brother, King Kangming is also a prince and a prince. And he used to be in charge of the military, don't look at him who was suspicious of the emperor before and was not powerful, it was also a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and Lord Shen would hurt himself if he didn't do it. ”
