When Bai Yuanze heard this, he knew that the Queen Mother wanted to mess with the relationship.
This woman took charge of the harem when she was young and served as the ruling queen mother for several years. She hardly paid attention to anyone. In her opinion, it was an honor for Meng Shu and even the entire Meng family that she gave Meng Shu a marriage. Such wanton behavior will harm the girl's life.
"To report to the Queen Mother, Pindao did calculate the marriage for Meng Shu when she was young, and found that this child's marriage was bumpy and had many twists and turns. This time she broke off the engagement, and Pindao was worried, so he calculated it for her again, and found that It will take two years for her to meet her destined good match, so... the British government is not in a hurry and plans to see her again in two years," Bai Yuanze said with respect.
The Queen Mother frowned. She had to wait another two years. Then wouldn't her plan be in vain?
However, there is no need to rush for some things. Things are constantly changing. In two years' time, the emperor may have died of illness. At that time, the Meng family can only be loyal to the King of Wei, and there is no need for her to find ways to get rid of the Meng family and the Lu family.
As long as her son ascends the throne, the world belongs to them, mother and son. Do those courtiers still dare to rebel?
Maybe then the son will be able to get his wish and include Meng Shu into the harem.
The Queen Mother loved King Wei very much.
Although she verbally reprimanded her son, the legitimate daughter of the British Duke's family was of noble status, and the family was particularly concerned about face. They would never send their legitimate daughter to him as a concubine, so that he would not have any wishful thinking and cause trouble.
But in the Queen Mother's heart, only she and King Wei were the masters of the Zhou Dynasty, and the others were slaves. Why couldn't Meng Shu be her son's concubine?
When her son becomes emperor, he will naturally get his wish.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt much better and was too lazy to give Meng Shu a hand in marriage.
She was originally thinking about her nephew Xie Yanqi.
The son's princess, the Song Dynasty, cannot be moved, and the nephew's daughter-in-law is from an ordinary background, so why not change her to another one?
After all, the benefits that marrying Meng Shu would bring are too great.
Since Meng Shu's marriage was two years away, she didn't have to rush.
"Does the Immortal Master have any other prescriptions? It would be best if they are suitable for the emperor to take. As a mother of the Ai family, she really cares about his health, so she naturally has to make plans for him." The Queen Mother looked at Bai Yuanze with a hint.
"Yes!" Bai Yuanze nodded quickly: "Pindao, there is a pill recipe here, which was left by the founder of my Qixia Temple. It's called Guiyuan Pill. This pill is a great tonic for people who are weak. The effect can make people's bodies recover quickly. On the surface, they look red and full of energy, but in fact they are consuming the body's remaining reserves. Time is running out. It can be as short as three months or as long as half a year, and we will reach eternal bliss. "
Bai Yuanze frowned slightly as he spoke: "This elixir is not suitable for ordinary people to take. It is specially prepared for people who have been ill for a long time and suffer from pain. It can relieve people's pain in a short time and save them for the remaining three months of their lives." In five months, live happily, do what you want to do, and have no regrets. Pindao has never refined this Guiyuan Pill."
"Then let Taoist Master Lao refine some!" the Queen Mother said with a faint smile.
"Yes!" Bai Yuanze nodded slightly and said with a little worry: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor has become suspicious of Pindao. I am afraid that the Emperor will not use the pills refined by Pindao anymore!"
"You don't have to worry about this. Just refine the elixir and leave the rest to the Ai family." The Queen Mother said confidently.
"Yes!" Bai Yuanze nodded, stood up and exited.
……
When Meng Shu returned to the British government's residence, it was getting late and it was almost time for dinner.
She took Qiu Sang and Qing Dai to the Anxi Escort Agency, so she came back a little late.
Meng Shu had sent her maid back to tell her mother that there was no need to pack her bags. Now she would naturally go to her mother's house to listen to Xuexuan's explanation.
"What? Your master said that if I leave the capital, there will be a bloody disaster!" Mrs. Lu was shocked after hearing what her daughter said.
"Yes!" Meng Shu nodded: "Master rarely tells people's fortunes, but one hexagram is very accurate. Mother knows this. Master said... If I leave Guiyun City this time, the future will be uncertain. The future is uncertain and the marriage line is almost severed. He is worried that I will be in big trouble, so he persuades me to stay in the capital! "
The more Lu heard, the more frightened she became, and the more worried she became, she quickly said: "Then we won't go to Guiyun City for the time being."
"Okay!" Meng Shu nodded: "The safety of mother and me is the most important thing. Master said that although we will encounter some minor troubles when we stay in the capital, we can easily solve them and there will be no worries about our lives. Mother can rest assured. "
"Yeah!" Ms. Lu nodded quickly and held her daughter's hand: "It really scares my mother. I have to drink some tea to calm down. Don't go anywhere. Come and have a meal with me."
She needs to look at her daughter to feel at ease.
"Okay!" Meng Shu nodded in agreement.
……
The marriage was canceled due to the emperor's obstruction, because everyone in the court did not agree with the marriage, even if the Queen Mother was unwilling to do so, she finally had to face reality.
In recent days, the Queen Mother has said that she is ill and the emperor is handling all government affairs.
In the beginning, the two days were relatively stable. On the third day, many ministers began to claim that they were ill and could not go to court. In fact, they were following the orders of the Queen Mother and used this as a threat to manipulate the emperor and make him understand that he still had control over the affairs of the court. In her hands, without her, the emperor would be unable to move forward.
By the western day, nearly half of the ministers in the DPRK had taken leave of absence due to illness.
The emperor knew that many ministers were waiting and watching.
Of course, he is also waiting to see who can use it and who cannot.
Early on the morning of the fifth day, the emperor personally went to Taikang Palace to welcome the Queen Mother to the court. After kneeling at the door for nearly an hour, the Queen Mother finally had the door of the palace opened and personally helped the emperor up. The mother and son went to the Qian'an Palace to go to court together. .
The Queen Mother originally wanted to take good care of the emperor, so it would be better to wait a few more days to let him understand that he defeated her on the marriage issue and got the support of everyone in the court. It was just a coincidence. On other matters, the courtiers I will still listen to her.
But as time went by, the Queen Mother became a little anxious. The emperor's body looks weak, but he has been going to court in the past few days. If she stays away for a long time, and all major affairs in the court are decided by the emperor, won't she suffer a loss?
The emperor came to invite him in person and knelt at the door for a few hours to apologize. The queen mother calmed down a lot and walked down the steps.
As soon as the Queen Mother came to court, all the ministers who had been unable to come due to illness naturally arrived.
The whole court was as happy and harmonious as it was in the past. It seemed calm, but in reality there was a turbulent undercurrent.
Especially the ministers who sided with the emperor, they had long regarded those people as rebellious ministers and traitors.
The morning session was proceeding in an orderly manner. Meng Shu, who had been in the palace for five days, was not at Princess Jiahe's Yaohua Palace, but at the place where Bai Yuanze made alchemy, watching him refine the Guiyuan Pill.
"Master has worked hard for two days and finally the elixir is ready." Meng Shu said with a smile.
