After saying what she needed to say clearly, Meng Shu felt relieved a lot.
At least the emperor would not force her to enter the palace.
As for the Queen Mother?
Just treat her as a delirious, crazy person.
As long as the emperor is in power, the queen mother has nothing to fear.
Meng Shu really felt that the Queen Mother was ill, and she was very ill. She would have different ideas from one moment to the next.
The master had told her before that he had informed the Queen Mother that she would not get married until two years later. This was the result of the Master's fortune-telling. Her destined good match would not appear until two years later. The Queen Mother also believed it. , I gave up the idea of giving her a marriage a few days ago, but... not long after this, she was rewarded with this set of noodle.
It can only be said that this aloof Queen Mother is a fickle person.
For her own future, she must stand more firmly on the emperor's side and help him seize power as soon as possible.
……
What Meng Shu didn't know was that the reason why the Queen Mother suddenly rewarded her with this set of masks was because Princess Wei was ill.
On the surface, the Queen Mother still cares about this daughter-in-law. After all, she has the Song family of Duke Dingguo behind her.
The Song family surrendered to the Queen Mother during the two years when the late Emperor was seriously ill and her descendants were handling the affairs of the court. The Queen Mother promised that the King of Wei would marry the legitimate daughter of the Song family, and she fulfilled her promise, so everyone got what they needed.
Even though she doesn't like Princess Song of Wei now, she feels that she is too jealous and ignorant. Last time, she exposed the adultery between Prince Wei and Concubine De in front of everyone, which made the Queen Mother very unhappy.
But for the sake of profit, she had to continue to tolerate this daughter-in-law.
But this time, Princess Wei had been lingering on the bed for several days without any improvement. The Queen Mother asked Bai Yuanze to go to Prince Wei's Mansion yesterday to diagnose Princess Wei's pulse. However, Bai Yuanze diagnosed that Princess Wei had a slight heart disease. She fell ill this time and had a high fever. , aggravating the condition.
Princess Wei had already suffered physical injuries the last time she gave birth to her eldest daughter, and now she has been diagnosed with a heart disease. If she gets pregnant again and gives birth to another child, her life may not be saved.
In addition, she was overly worried, and even if she took good care of her, she would not be able to live a long life.
In Bai Yuanze's words, if Princess Wei can put down everything from today on, take good care of her health, and stop interfering in the affairs of the palace, she can still live for another ten or twenty years.
If she still worries about the big and small things in the house and takes the risk of getting pregnant and giving birth to a child, it will be dangerous, and maybe one person and two people will die by then.
But King Wei has no legitimate son, how can she, the princess, not have one?
Because of this, the Queen Mother came up with Meng Shu's idea again.
Two years later, if Princess Song is still alive, she will first let Meng Shu be her son's concubine. She can promise to the Meng family that once Song dies, Meng Shu will be straightened up.
If Princess Wei dies of illness within these two years, that would be even better, as long as her son marries Meng Shu as his successor.
Presumably the Meng family would not refuse.
Meng Shu was brave and had been on the battlefield, so he was not afraid of her as the Queen Mother, which originally made the Queen Mother very dissatisfied.
But after learning that her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, was too weak to have children and would not live long, the Queen Mother had other ideas.
Meng Shu has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has become strong and healthy. She will have a good childbirth in the future. She will not worry about having grandchildren.
In addition, his son has been living and drinking all year round, and Princess Song cannot control him. When his son becomes emperor, he will become even more unscrupulous. If no one controls him, his body will deteriorate sooner or later.
It would definitely be much better if there was a powerful queen in charge of him.
Therefore, the Queen Mother, who used to dislike Meng Shu for being too powerful, is now very satisfied with her.
As for his son’s obsession with Meng Shu?
That would be even less of a problem.
Meng Shu really wants to become his queen, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen is good, which is also a good story.
Just like her and the late emperor, I don't know how many people are envious of her.
She thought about it and gave Meng Shu this set of masks just to tell the world that this girl was royally determined and no one else had the right to think about it.
……
The emperor sent someone to investigate and soon learned that Princess Wei was ill, and that she was seriously ill.
Princess Wei had heart disease since she was a child. Because her condition was not serious and she had been nursed back to health all year round, she was relatively healthy when she grew up. The imperial doctors took her Ping'an pulse and found nothing wrong.
This time, it was because she was overthinking and worrying, and her high fever persisted for several days, which caused her heart disease, and she was discovered by Bai Yuanze.
Bai Yuanze also didn't expect that reporting the matter to the Queen Mother truthfully would bring such big trouble to his disciple.
Early the next morning, he rushed to the paddock and told Meng Shu everything about it.
"Shu'er, it's all Master's fault. Master didn't expect the Queen Mother to do this." Bai Yuanze regretted it.
He originally thought that Princess Wei was just an insignificant person, and since he was outwardly loyal to the Queen Mother, this kind of matter must be reported truthfully to gain the Queen Mother's trust.
Princess Wei's condition was still very obvious, and even if he didn't tell the Queen Mother, subsequent doctors would be able to diagnose it.
"Master, don't blame yourself. As long as the marriage is not granted, there is room for change. The emperor said that no one can force me to marry, not even the Queen Mother." Meng Shu did not blame her master.
After all, this kind of thing can't be kept secret for long.
As Princess Wei's condition worsens, her heart disease will always be exposed.
"The Emperor really said that?" Bai Yuanze was a little surprised.
"Yes!" Meng Shu nodded.
"The Queen Mother gave you this phoenix crown. Everyone thinks that she has chosen you in advance for King Wei. But isn't the Emperor also the Queen Mother's son? He is also an emperor. If he is really desperate, marry the emperor. It’s a hundred times better than marrying the King of Wei, Shu’er, you might as well think about it carefully.”
He recently observed the sky at night and found that the Emperor's Star was getting brighter and brighter, and the stars in the Western Zhou Dynasty seemed to be worshiping the Emperor's Star. This was a very good sign.
It was only a matter of time before the emperor assumed power.
As for the disciple Meng Shu?
He had also calculated it.
This girl was blessed with good fortune in the past. She was born with wealth and a lifetime of glory. Now she is even more precious.
It can be seen that many things will change.
Even a person's fate is not completely determined at birth.
Meng Shu didn't expect her master to say that. Recalling what the emperor said to her yesterday, Meng Shu fell silent.
"Master knows that you don't want to get married and just want to protect your family and country, so of course I won't force you. However... being a queen can protect all people in the world, but being a female general can only protect one side's safety. Make your own choice!" Bai Yuanze said softly.
"Master knows that I don't want to trap myself in a world. The palace is too boring and there are too many constraints. As for the emperor... just take it one step at a time." Meng Shu thought for a moment and said.
Bai Yuanze nodded and said no more.
The reason why he persuaded Meng Shu was because the emperor had the qualifications and virtues of a wise king, and was destined to be a wise king, and his disciple was the most noble girl in life among the women he had ever seen, and she was not inferior to men in all aspects. , if she assists the emperor, why worry about the great Zhou Dynasty not being able to prosper?
Today's Great Zhou Dynasty is already showing signs of collapse. Only the emperor can turn things around. If Meng Shu helps, everything will be done with half the effort.
Of course he loved his disciple, but he had to tell her because of the justice in the world.
