Meng Guiyu's idea wasn't bad. Shortly after being dragged to a corner and hearing about Madam Xiang's scheme, flustered, Sheng Weiqiao changed her face and said, "Why does she suspect us?! It's... It's too..."
Meng Guihuan tried to reassure her, "According to Sixth Brother, our Eldest Aunt is tempted by your property. She's hatching a plan to make you my Eighth Brother's concubine!"
Meng Guihuan talked out Meng Guiyu's surmise to her, leaving out the part of Empress Dowager Meng's intention of matching Meng Guiyu with Sheng Weiqiao, and then she heaved a sigh, "It's good that Sixth Brother happened to be there and justified your family. But I fear that Eldest Aunt won't give up and will propose it again to Her Grace. As you know, Her Grace isn't as vigorous as she used to be. She can easily be convinced if someone keeps drumming something into her head! Thus, Eldest Brother debated about it and believes it's best to tell you so that you can get prepared for
Sheng Shuihe shepherded Sheng Weiqiao to the study and beckoned the servants to back away. He poured two cups of tea, and Sheng Weiqiao uttered urgently before he settled the teapot, "Brother, Meng Family are likely to have learned about the mastermind behind Bishui County Incident and find the evidence!""Impossible!" Sheng Shuihe denied it without blinking his eyes, "Huan Family worked for the government before Mr. Huan distinguished himself in the imperial court! And after that, Bishui County completely became Huan Family's territory. Everything there is under their control! Mr. Huan was a prestigious man who had served two emperors. He valued the image of his family and didn't allow his offspring to work for the government because they weren't qualified enough. Though Huan Family's members were left to conduct reading and farming only at home, Huan Family's authority in Bishui County was consolidated as well!""Mr. Huan has been missing for merely twelv
Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao immediately refuted, "Brother, here is Chang'an! Gaomi King and Madam Meng have been here for decades. We just arrived here. If you acted recklessly, they might find some clues and be against us!""Don't worry. Meng Bopeng was seriously injured. He was still being cured in Bishui County. He will arrive in Chang'an when recovering." Sheng Shuihe said with a smile, "People arranged by me stayed in Bishui County, and there were people from Huan Family cooperating with me. There would be no mistakes."He added, "Furthermore, people of Huan Family were not fools. Unless they were sure that there would be no flaws found out, they would stop me for their safety! If they agreed with me on that, they must have much confidence!"Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao seemed to say more, Sheng Shuihe changed the topic with eyes flickering, "By the way, although what the fourth branch of Meng Family told may not be true, he really told us go
Of course, the sister and brother didn't think that Guangling King was loyal to Gaomi King and never betrayed Gaomi King. As family members of the Emperor's mother's side, they communicated with many powerful families. Also, they knew many fratricidal fighting. In fact, they were not sad about the accident of Meng Bopeng in Bishui County. Though Guangling King was favored by the prior Emperor, he was too young to be the successor of the throne.When the prior Emperor died, he was less than ten years old. Therefore, he received a few things from the prior Emperor.As a result, he was not powerful in the dynasty. If it weren't that Huan Guanlan and other powerful officials protected him and Gaomi King, at the request of the prior Emperor, cared for him, he might have died!Therefore, even if he wanted to stand with Shu Sisters secretively and made his son the stepson of Emperor, he had no such ability.After all, in addition to the b
"Indeed, we shouldn't compromise so easily." Meng Guiyu himself did not feel humiliated, because he had suffered various humiliations, and thus developed a stoic personality over the years in order to survive and raise his younger siblings. Although the girl Empress Dowager Meng chose for him was everything he had wanted, from family background, look to temperament, the engagement was not settled, since Madam Xiang made the Empress Dowager change her mind the second Her Grace voiced out the suggestion.He never got the girl!Then, he didn't lose her, either. So, he could now speak in an even tone. "After all, our aunt has made a request for me. Eldest Aunt definitely would ask for a favor before she gives her consent.""How can she trade your marriage with a favor?" Meng Guihan had lived all his life under his brother's wing and was not as stoic and mature as Meng Guiyu. He stamped his feet angrily, his face turning red, "Though I don't know mu
Xu Zijing couple and Xu Baomo had expected that, when the brother and sister of Sheng Family had left Ningwei Marquis Family because of the words of Xu Caikui, the news would be known by Senior Master Sheng and Old Marquis Xu in the south and the consequence would be serious.However, they didn't expect that Old Marquis Xu would come to them in person, even setting out before the upcoming New Year!This morning, after failing to visit the empress dowager, Madam Nan was about to find a teahouse near the palace and wait for her husband in the room.She found a teahouse nearby and sat in the room she ordered. Before the cakes and tea could be served, the housekeeper of Ningwei Marquis Family came in a hurry, saying that the letter of Old Marquis Xu was brought here by people from Cangwu County!Madam Nan was shocked when hearing it, and got desperate when she was told by the messenger that Old Marquis Xu was coming after returning to
"And still, you call me ‘pretty girl’. I thought you were complimenting me on my beauty." Completely hopeless, this fine-looking maid regained her composure and uttered coldly as she rested her eyes on Xu Baomo, "To think of that, do you ever remember my name, Young Lord?"Rattled by his upcoming tragic fate, Xu Baomo wasn't in a mood to talk with her. He said perfunctorily, "Pretty girl, don't be ridiculous. I need to go see my father now... Maybe it's not the end for us, and my parents will chide me and let it be. If my mother only throws you out of the manor, I have some savings for...""Your first question for me half a day ago when knocking into me in the side yard was what my name was... And I responded that my name is Mingcui (Vine Jade)." Her watery eyes fixed on Xu Baomo, this maid gave a triste and ironic smile. She sobbed, "You cited the verse "Chains of fine jade flutter like cicada's wings, and a pair of fine hands do her makeup" and praised th
"But Father and Mother aren't at fault!" Madam Nan's face changed, and she remained silent for quite a while before she uttered, "They got him to the faraway Cangwu County for our sake! They sacrificed their leisure time of retirement and went out of their way to look after a small baby!""The saying that the old take pleasure in babysitting is literally crap! It's delightful to babysit from time to time, but I know better than you that how much it takes to raise up a kid from his birth!""And you gave recognition to that brat's academic performance. Would a boy as ridiculous as he automatically sit down and study?""Father and Mother must have had to urge him every day!""It's obvious that how dedicated they were to nurse him!""How old are they already? How much have they endured in the past years?""And we haven't yet expressed our gratitude for them. Aren't we unhuman, if we blame our parents for pampe
And the rest of the people unanimously agreed to Xu Tong, "Eldest Master Sheng doesn't beat his son? It can't be!""Exactly! When Senior Master Sheng lectured his son, he never bothered to talk! Fists solved everything!""Didn't they?! Old Marquis would have liked to talk at first, but he decided to follow Senior Master Sheng's method later because a literate man must be right!""Senior Master Sheng pampers Eldest Master Sheng best, but still, he beat him when he played too much as a child. He would exercise restraint though, unlike when he beat Second Master Sheng and Third Master Sheng!"“It's like a family culture. Since Senior Master Sheng teaches his children in this way, Eldest Master Sheng must be doing the same! Well, I was wondering why Eldest Childe Sheng and Third Miss Sheng both look reserved and quiet. They must have been beaten a lot before they cultivated that good demeanor. While our Young Lord flattened the maid an
Shu Zhaoyi lost her soul and returned to the Xuanjing Emperor placed outside the bedchamber, and was about to go in to see how the Xuanjing Emperor slept ... After she came back with the Xuanjing Emperor, because she was anxious to go to interrogate Meng Guiyu alone, she excused herself to drink wine to drown her sorrows, and left the Xuanjing Emperor after she got him drunk.This moment back can not help but go in to see, who knows just to the door to see the two chamberlains eyes and nose guarding.Seeing Zhaoyi come over, their faces all changed, and they bowed tremblingly, saying, "Long live the Empress!""There are people inside?" Shu Zhaoyi asked with a raised eyebrow when she saw that despite their respectful attitude, they never had the intention to give way.The two chamberlains looked at each other, with trepidation in their eyes, knowing that the Shu sisters were in great favor and neither were good-tempered.Especially at this moment, the ne
Shu Zhaoyi's expression was harsh, but Meng Guiyu's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "Back to Lady Zhaoyi, I really didn't know about Your Highness's suffering at all!"He glanced at Shu Guifei's remains on the door panel not far away, "As for why His Majesty and Lady Zhaoyi found that Lady Guifei was missing, they issued an imperial edict for the forbidden army to search everywhere, and in the end, it was me who sent Lady Guifei to His Majesty as well as to Lady Zhaoyi.... Ma'am, I reported up before that Lady Guifei wasn't personally found by me, but was reported up after his men found it. personally found, but rather after my men found it and reported it up, I went to see it!""After all, I have been favored by the two empresses and have joined the forbidden army as the Grand Commander of the forbidden army. When the forbidden army discovers a clue, it is natural to report it to me first, and then I will convey it to His Majesty and you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!" Meng Gui Yu's expression was somber, his eyes were also red, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "After I learned that Your Highness and her attendants had disappeared, I couldn't believe that Your Highness had been in an accident! However, the Queen Consort lived in the Qiongxue Palace and the left side of the inch by inch search down, the Committee did not see any silhouettes, can only be dispersed towards the distance. At this time to listen to the water division side of the report, said the spring wave lake floated up ... floated up a number of people, all for the palace attire, the leader of the even more expensive clothes extraordinary, I ... ministers eleven million hope that it is a mistake!""But the minister to the lake, personally saw this body pomegranate red dress shirt ... I remember, two days ago also see your concubine through ...""This must be which bitchy servant girl, stole this palace sister's robe!!!" Shu Zhao Yi covered
The sky was overcast as if it were night before the rain poured down.In the back room of the assassin's residence, the doors and windows were closed, and it was too dim to see the outlines of things.Yi Liu dressed in Xuan Shirt strong clothing, full head of green silk also with the same color of the handkerchief tightly wrapped up, foot soft sole light boots, quietly stepped over the scarlet ground tangled branches of lotus pattern unicorn play beads rug.The short sword in his hand was coated in black paint, dark and heavy that would not emit any reflections, best suited for the immediate environment.She narrowed her eyes slightly so as not to let the luster between the flow of her bright eyes be detected by her opponent.The thunder outside the house had been raging for a long time, and her confrontation with her opponent had lasted even longer.She's in no hurry.In addition to the fact that this was the Assassin's Palace, the home bas
Rong Sleeping Crane was busy smiling and greeted her, "Auntie! I disturbed you last night, are you resting well now?"Xuan Yu Feng first looked him up and down, saw his gray head and face, and his clothes were dirty, then said in a pleasant manner, "I am an idle person anyway, it is nothing to make a mess once in a while, but it is you ... how did you get this? How to make such a mess? I just saw with you a piece of over the guards, are good, thought you also safe and sound it!"Let's just say that he, "Auntie knows that this child of yours is both literate and skilled in martial arts. But the so-called not in his position does not seek his own politics, you now is not to the district Gongsun clan to sell their lives of the Wuyi camp leader, but the king of the big Mu County, is the husband of Qiao Er, lemonade father of the king! If it is because of the first to fight, there are any shortcomings, you call Qiao'er mother and son in the future how to do?""What's mo
"..." Rong Sleeping Crane froze and said, "Good girl, although Meng Boqin is gone, the Northern Border may not be peaceful ah! And you also know that I secretly came from the Western Border this time, so after settling your mother and son, I will talk to uncle for a few more days, and also have to hurry to return to the Western Border."Sheng Weiqiao said, "You have urgent matters, you go to the western border first! I'll go over slowly with lemonade, at most it's just a few more days of traveling."She frowned slightly, ''Before I left from the Western Frontier in such a hurry, the things I lost down were just that, Geun Li, Ju Li those people, and the twelve niang and whatnot ... I'm telling you, if it wasn't for the fact that you were in the way of Meng Boqin before, and you said that it was safest to take the sea route to leave, I would have wanted to go to the Western Frontier to witness it no matter what. I'd like to go to the western border to see them before I fe
"Think of the good in things!" The plan to use Zhao Shi as a front failed, Rong Yuhe could only go alone to face his wife's doubts, he was on his way to comfort himself, "I can't say that my daughter is worried and scared alone in the camp, and she is satisfied to see that I am well past it. Why is it that things are happening differently from what she told me before, and she's not in the mood to get to the bottom of it, so I'll be able to get by with a few perfunctory sentences?"With that thought he looked down at his neat as new robes, pondered for a moment, and decisively halted his mount!The left and right guards were instantly aghast, taking off the bow hanging on the saddle and nocking arrows from the arrow pot at their waist while asking in a low voice, "County King?""... "Rong Sleeping Crane looked at them as if they were enemies, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "It's nothing. Well, you guys stay here, lone go to the side forest for a bit!"
The green-clothed boy heard, a face of "difficult to say" expression, once again look at Zhao Shi, mouth vaguely said, "I do not know how to say ... anyway... several stewards feel very difficult to make a judgment. ...Several stewards feel that it's very tricky and can't make a judgment, so I can only ask the County King to personally decide!"Seeing this situation, Zhao Shi raised an eyebrow and said to Rong Sleeping Crane, "I'm about to go out to see how things are going underneath, you guys talk over here!"Just take the old maid and go.The room is left with Rong Sleeping Crane and the boy, that boy immediately swept away the calm in front of Zhao Shi's master and servant, said in a tone of excitement mixed with inexplicable excitement, "County King! To tell you the truth, you may not believe it: brother Ah Xi, he ... actually slept with the Empress!!!"Yung Sleeping Crane, who has taken a hundred and twenty-thousand percent care and is ready to receive
Zhao Shi sniffed, froze for a good while, before asking with doubts, "You ... you send all the horses of your Western Frontier elite cavalry over? Then what about the direct line that you single-handedly trained?"Not waiting for Rong Sleeping Crane to answer, he shook his head again, "Not right! You kid has always been treacherous, not taking advantage of others would be good, how could you do something so self-sacrificing?!"Mind electric turn, suddenly eyes bright, breathing are a little short of breath, eagerly asked, "I remember you promised Deng Chen Liyu to help him raise his son and grandson ...?""I'm not as old as his grandson, what do you mean by helping him raise his son and grandson?" Rong Sleeping Crane cried and laughed, "It's just a promise to shelter a few of his heirs."Zhao suitable toward him leaned his body, attentive to ask, "The previous dynasty has the emperor Na Ru Ru princess as a consort, when Ru Ru accompanied by 10,000 horses, tha
