But having said that, if the emperor hadn't suddenly arrived at Yanbo Lake today and took King Wei away, would that guy have continued to pester her?
Meng Shu felt sick when she thought of King Wei.
In fact, the King of Wei was good-looking. After all, the Queen Mother was a rare beauty when she was young, and the late Emperor was also handsome. Of course, he could not give birth to a crooked melon and cracked jujube.
But his character is too bad.
The former king who subjugated his country was a lecherous and violent person. According to unofficial records, he not only had an affair with his aunt, but also forced his sister to stay in the palace to play with.
Compared with King Wei, the gap is not big. If he is allowed to continue to be ridiculous, he will probably be even worse.
It is a pity for the current emperor. When he was young and he was the crown prince, he was obviously very powerful. Not only was the late emperor extremely satisfied with him, but the civil and military officials of the entire court also praised him.
However, he was too weak after being poisoned and had no time to take care of the government affairs. He could only let the Queen Mother control the government affairs. Sooner or later, he would have to give up the country and the country to others, and even to a shameless maniac.
Meng Shu couldn't help but shook her head when she thought of this.
The master said that the emperor's body was beyond recovery.
King Wei took such a big advantage but was ungrateful and even touched the emperor's women. Jian Shou was worse than a beast.
Their Majesty is quite unlucky to have such a partial mother and such a useless brother.
……
On May 27th, the Queen Mother set off to Chengping Palace to escape the summer heat. She only took Concubine Su Gui, Princess Jiahe and Concubine De along with her.
In addition to this are the King of Wei, his main concubine Song, his concubine Ding, and some court officials.
King Wei and Wei Mingtao were responsible for the safety of the Queen Mother.
When King Wei left the palace to establish his own kingdom three years ago, he was ordered to supervise the five major camps outside the city.
The five major battalions on the outskirts of Beijing, with a total of 150,000 troops, were responsible for defending the capital.
Therefore, this dandy among dandies actually holds military power. Even if many people in the court are dissatisfied with him, they can only endure it.
This time when we went to Chengping Palace, in addition to the guards led by Wei Mingtao, the King of Wei also deployed 6,000 troops and horses from each of the five major battalions, totaling 30,000 troops, to protect the Queen Mother.
After the emperor sent the Queen Mother and others to the gate of the palace, he also took them to Xiyi Garden on the outskirts of Beijing.
The Queen Mother went to Chengping Palace and brought many officials with her. Major affairs in the court were still handled by the Queen Mother. Although the Emperor stayed in the capital, he did not need to intervene too much and could only "rest in peace and recuperate".
On May 28, Meng Huaiyuan set off for the northwest with his second son Meng Yansheng.
As the general guarding the northwest, Meng Huaiyuan could not leave Guiyun City without an edict.
He returned to Beijing this time to send his daughter off for marriage, and he specifically requested the emperor's permission.
His daughter's marriage was canceled and he could not stay in Beijing for long. It was time to return to the northwest.
The Queen Mother has not targeted the Meng family in the past few days, and has no intention of taking back military power. Meng Shu has not seen King Wei again, which makes her feel at ease.
After sending his father and second brother to the outskirts of Beijing, Meng Shu was about to accompany his mother back when he found the little Taoist boy next to his master coming over.
"Senior sister, master invites you to go to the villa on the outskirts of Beijing to have a talk." The little Taoist boy said in a low voice.
"Master has another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing?" Meng Shu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"It was a gift from the emperor two days ago. It is very close to the royal Xiyi Garden." The little Taoist boy replied quickly.
Meng Shu nodded after hearing this.
The master told her that the fact that he accepted her as his disciple was not a secret in Qixia Temple. Instead of letting people find out and make a fuss about it, it was better to live a clear path.
Therefore, the old man had reported to the Queen Mother that he had accepted Meng Shu as his disciple in his early years and taught him for two years.
In fact, she had only been studying medicine and the Nine-turn Golden Needle technique with her master for two years.
Two years later, she left Qixia Temple and returned to her residence in Guiyun City. In the past few years, Meng Shu only went to Qixia Temple at the end of every month to listen to the master's sermons.
Master asked her to go to the other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing today to talk. Of course, Meng Shu would not refuse, nor would she hide it, she would just go there openly.
When Mrs. Lu heard that Bai Yuanze wanted to see her daughter, she smiled and said, "Shu'er, don't worry, your eldest brother is still here. He can just send your mother back to her mansion. If it's too late, you don't have to go back to the Duke's mansion tonight. You can stay with us." Just a separate courtyard in the house.”
These high-ranking officials in the capital also had other courtyards in the suburbs of Beijing, distributed in Xiyiyuan and the Western Zhou Dynasty. The British government palace was certainly no exception.
Mrs. Lu had originally planned to accompany the old lady to live in another courtyard in two days, and everything had been packed there.
"Yes." Meng Shu smiled and nodded: "Then my daughter will go."
"I'll send a few guards to follow you!" Meng Yanxing, who was standing aside, waited for his mother and sister to finish speaking before speaking with a smile.
The maids around my sister are all good at martial arts, especially the big maid, who is very powerful.
I also accompanied my sister out today.
Not to mention his sister, she has excellent bones and is a talented martial artist. In his father's words, she is no worse than him and his second brother.
However, when my daughter goes out, the more people around her, the better.
When Mrs. Lu saw her son protecting her sister like this, a smile appeared on her face: "That's Xing'er's arrangement."
After a while, Meng Shu separated from them, took Su Ye and the others, and took a carriage to the direction of Xiyi Garden.
At the same time, in Xiyi Garden, Bai Yuanze was checking the emperor's pulse.
"Your Majesty, Pindao's disciple is very skilled in acupuncture. If he applies acupuncture every day, it will take more than two months at most to remove the toxins from the Emperor's body."
Previously, the emperor wanted to invite people to Princess Jiahe's Yaohua Palace to perform acupuncture every other day. Bai Yuanze speculated that it would take at least ninety-nine and eighty-one days for the emperor to recover.
If acupuncture is applied every day, it won't take that long.
If the emperor's body can be restored to its original state before the Queen Mother comes back, the next thing will be easy to handle.
"Then I'll ask Master Bai to arrange something." The emperor smiled.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Pindao has made arrangements. Pindao told Shu'er before that after Pindao had an old friend, he was poisoned by a strange poison and needed acupuncture to detoxify it. In the recent days, the emperor only needs to disguise himself every day. Just dress up and go to Pindao's other courtyard," Bai Yuanze said quickly.
He originally thought that Meng Shu would detoxify the emperor under the arrangement of Princess Jiahe, so he wouldn't have to worry about it.
He had wanted to tell Meng Shu before that his old friend had died of poison later, so he didn't need to bother her to help with detoxification.
Fortunately, he didn't speak.
Now it seems that he has to take action!
"Can we go today?" the emperor asked.
When Bai Yuanze heard this, he didn't expect the emperor to be so impatient. He also planned to ask Meng Shu to detoxify the emperor from tomorrow.
But thinking about it, the emperor has been poisoned for eight years, and the lingering poison has not been cleared away. He is not in good health, and he must be eager to detoxify.
"It's done today. Pindao will wait outside. When the emperor has finished packing, he will go to Pindao's other courtyard." Bai Yuanze said with a smile.
There is a father-in-law under the emperor who is good at disguising people. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly find him.
If the emperor wanted to conceal his identity and let Meng Shu detoxify him, he would definitely have to disguise himself.
However, what Bai Yuanze didn't expect was that the emperor only changed into ordinary clothes, put on a mask and let him go.
