Even if the Chen family did not rebel, could the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty tolerate such a woman continuing to control the government?
And that despicable son of King Wei, why should he inherit the throne?
Everyone said that her son, the King of Liang, was submissive and could not hold a big position, but in her opinion, her son was more than a hundred times stronger than the King of Wei.
Living in the hands of a vicious woman like Xie Manyun, if her son was too outstanding, would he be able to survive until now?
It’s also time to make some plans.
Concubine Chen Shu left happily.
"Concubine, let's go back to the carriage." Princess Jiahe supported Concubine Su Gui, thinking of everything that had happened before, her face was full of disdain.
The queen mother is really partial!
However, no one thought much about it before, and no one doubted that she was not the biological mother of the imperial brother.
I just feel that she is too partial to her youngest son.
Poor imperial brother, he was assassinated by this poisonous woman and suffered for eight years.
And the King of Wei is really shameless. How can he compete with his brother for the world?
They have lived in Chengping Palace for more than two months, and the emperor's brother's poison should have been cured.
Princess Jiahe couldn't wait to return to the palace early and confirm it quickly.
"Concubine, when you get back, you must find a way to help your daughter protect Sister Meng." If the poison in the emperor's brother has been cured, then Meng Shu will be their benefactor.
"Concubine Mother knows that she is your little master, and Concubine Mother will naturally protect her for you." Concubine Su Gui joked with a smile.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Meng Shu gave her daughter, but she taught her how to whip for two days. In the past two months, her daughter often mentioned Meng Shu and praised her, saying that she was older than her younger sister.
A dignified princess is not afraid of being laughed at even if she is called a servant sister.
However, as the only princess in the dynasty, her daughter has no sisters and has little friendship with her cousins. It is rare for her to value someone so much, and Concubine Su Gui is happy to see it happen.
"Sister Meng is very kind, and my daughter likes her very much. There are some things that it is not convenient for my daughter to say now, but my mother and concubine will know about it in the future." Princess Jiahe held Concubine Su's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay!" Concubine Su Gui nodded.
"Third brother, seeing her beauty, has some thoughts that he shouldn't have. If trouble breaks out in the future, for the sake of Sister Meng's future, my daughter will definitely find a way to stop it. Concubine, you will also have to persuade the queen." When the matter comes up, , Princess Jiahe was quite worried.
"Don't worry, the mother-in-law knows what to do, but... the Queen Mother may not be willing to listen. In her heart, King Wei is more important than anything else. On the contrary, the emperor who is seriously ill is really pitiful."
As soon as Concubine Su finished speaking, her daughter's voice came to her ears: "Then you can't always stew some soup and water and send it to Taiqian Palace for the emperor's brother as you did before. These days, mother and concubine should stay in Rong. Just stay in peace and don’t go out much. You must have listened to your daughter.”
In the past, the mother-in-law always felt that the emperor's brother was pitiful, especially after the emperor's brother was poisoned and became weak. From time to time, the mother-in-law would personally cook some medicinal meals and send them to him.
At that time, she didn't know that the emperor's brother was born from his mother's concubine, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.
Now that I know the truth, of course I have to advise my mother and concubine to keep a distance from the imperial brother for the time being, so as not to make the queen mother suspicious.
……
The weather was excellent today. Meng Shu took Su Ye and Qingdai out early in the morning.
A few days ago, they moved back to the Duke's Mansion in the capital from the villa on the outskirts of Beijing. They no longer have to go out every day to detoxify people. They are now free and can do whatever they want, which is quite comfortable.
Of course, she couldn't say these words to others, otherwise it would reach the ears of the emperor in the future, and they would think that they disliked him and would be dissatisfied with it.
"The Empress Dowager's chariot is coming soon. There are more and more people on the street. Let's find a place to sit and rest." Meng Shu looked up, with a smile on her face: "Ahead is Jiamu Tower. Let’s go get a private room, order a pot of good tea and a few plates of snacks, just to get away.”
If they didn't hide, they would have to kneel on the street and wait until the carriages of the Queen Mother and the masters in the palace were far away before they could get up.
"Yes." The two girls responded and followed Meng Shu to Jiamu Tower.
Tea drinkers are the famous trees in the south.
Jiamulou is in the capital. It is a century-old teahouse and is extremely famous.
When Meng Shu arrived, there was a private room on the second floor. She went upstairs with two maids, but she met an acquaintance.
"Miss Meng." Zhang Wan and Zhang Li, who were standing outside the private room responsible for protecting the emperor, were slightly startled when they saw Meng Shu and the others approaching, and quickly bowed their heads and saluted.
"So it's you. I thought Mr. Su was here to have tea too." Meng Shu smiled and nodded, and without waiting for Zhang Wan and the others to reply, he took the maid to the private room next door.
Meng Shu had guessed before that the person who asked her to help detoxify was the emperor, but now she was not sure.
Every time he went to his master's hospital to ask her to help with acupuncture and detoxification, he always had brothers Zhang Peng, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Wan and Zhang Li with him.
Zhang Wan and Zhang Li were guarding the outside of the private room, which proved that Mr. Su was drinking tea in the private room next door.
If he is really the emperor, shouldn't he greet the Queen Mother at the palace gate at this time?
Of course, based on this alone, Meng Shu did not dare to make a conclusion, but she had doubts in her heart.
The emperor could hear the "Ms. Meng" just now clearly. He just raised his head and glanced at Zhang Peng before confirming it.
"Master, Miss Meng also came to Jiamulou for tea, right next door to us." Zhang Peng asked in a low voice after asking clearly.
The emperor nodded upon hearing this and subconsciously looked at the wall across the private room.
Tea was being made next door, and he heard the sounds of cups and plates, as well as the chatter of their masters and servants, very clearly.
Since he was detoxified, the emperor's martial arts have been improving by leaps and bounds. After all, he has not given up practicing martial arts in the past eight years. It is just because of the influence of the poison that he dare not use his internal power to move his body.
Moreover, the very special external skill he has practiced for eight years is very extraordinary. It only nourishes his meridians and flesh and blood that have been damaged by toxins, giving him a glimmer of hope.
At this time, he can be regarded as standing up again, which is completely different from the simple head before.
"Miss, I just heard someone say in the lobby downstairs that the prince of Xiqiang Kingdom and the third princess have come to our Dazhou. They will arrive in a few days. They must be fooling people." Su Ye said while making tea.
Their father-in-law was guarding the northwest, guarding against the cavalry of the Western Qiang Kingdom.
The Duke and the Second Young Master have returned to Guiyun City a long time ago. If the Western Qiang Kingdom sends envoys to Beijing, their British Duke will definitely be the first to receive the news.
She had not heard the young lady mention this matter.
Those people must have lied.
"They didn't lie. The Xiqiang delegation should arrive within a few days." Meng Shu took a sip of tea and spoke with a smile.
Su Ye: "..."
"They want to come and have a marriage alliance, saying that they will have a good relationship for a hundred years with me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Western Qiang Kingdom will promise not to invade Guiyun City in the future, and I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will withdraw the northwest army." Meng Shu had a trace of sarcasm on his face.
Do these Xiqiang barbarians regard the people of the Zhou Dynasty as fools?
Fortunately they were able to open this mouth.
The envoy told the matter in front of his father, and his father also reported it to the court.
This matter will soon be known to everyone, and she will no longer hide it from Su Ye and the others.
