But what Meng Shu didn't expect was that her eldest brother actually joined the battle himself.
The eldest brother is very skilled in swordsmanship. Even though the emperor has no weapons, he is not at a disadvantage.
Facts have proved that the emperor is indeed excellent in martial arts. Even though he has been poisoned for eight years, he is no worse than his elder brother because of the special skills he has practiced and accumulated.
While Meng Shu was observing this for a moment, the emperor took a long knife from one of the guards.
With the weapon in hand, the emperor suppressed Meng Yanxing not long after. Seeing that the knife was about to hit Meng Yanxing's arm, the emperor quickly put away the knife, but the next moment, Meng Yanxing put a sword on his neck.
Meng Shu had to admit that the elder brother who had been on the battlefield knew how to seize the opportunity.
They couldn't bear to hurt him, so he took this opportunity to backhand with a sword.
When the guards saw that Meng Yanxing had restrained the man in black, they swarmed up and surrounded him. Meng Shu was afraid that the emperor would be accidentally injured by them, so she quickly shouted: "Stop!"
Others don't know his identity, doesn't she know it?
What's more, even if everyone doesn't know his identity, if the emperor is injured here, the entire British government will be in trouble.
Meng Yanxing turned his head and looked at his sister, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
The man in black came out of his sister's yard. During the fight just now, he could have hurt himself twice, but he showed mercy.
If it weren't for this, Meng Yanxing wouldn't have dared to put the knife on someone's neck at the risk of injury.
He had just taken down the man in black, and his sister hurriedly shouted to stop. There was definitely something wrong.
Otherwise, with his sister's support for him, she would have rushed over with him to capture the man in black. How could he stand aside and watch the show?
"Tie him up!" Meng Yanxing said in a deep voice.
In full view of the public, he was reluctant to remove the black cloth covering the face of the man in black, and he did not ask his sister to avoid ending the situation.
But at this moment, Meng Shu's third uncle Meng Huaian also came with someone.
"Yanxing, Shu'er, the assassin has been captured, so there is no need for Third Uncle to take action. Let me see which bastard is so bold that he dares to come to my British mansion to assassinate." Meng Huaian said as he spoke. He strode forward and was about to pull off the black cloth from the emperor's face.
At this time, the emperor had been tied up by Wu Huada.
"Third uncle!" Meng Shu and Meng Yanxing shouted in unison.
"What's wrong?" Meng Huaian turned his head and looked at his nephew and niece, his face full of confusion.
"Let's let my nephew take him down for interrogation." Meng Yanxing said with a smile.
"Yes, it's getting late. Third uncle has to get up early to go to the Yamen tomorrow. You should rest early. I don't have to be on duty, so let me interrogate you." Meng Shu also said with a smile.
Meng Huaian also fought on the battlefield for many years in his early years. He returned to the capital only after being injured. Relying on his military exploits and the shadow of the Duke's government, he entered the court as an official.
He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and his ability to observe people's emotions is first-class, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong with this matter.
"Okay, Third Uncle listens to you!" Meng Huaian nodded with a smile.
But the next moment, he turned around with lightning speed and pulled off the black cloth scarf from the emperor's face.
Meng Shu: "..."
She never knew that her third uncle actually had this side.
The point is...the emperor was exposed.
Meng Yanxing didn't expect that his third uncle would do this. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the man in black who had his black cloth removed, and his whole body froze instantly.
"Emperor..."
"Brother!" Meng Shu interrupted him, fearing that he would expose the emperor's identity in front of so many people.
She stepped forward quickly, took the masked black cloth from the hands of her third uncle, who was already stunned, and gave it to the emperor. She winked at him and signaled him to quickly cover her face.
In this courtyard, not many people knew the emperor, and the guards had never seen the emperor before.
As long as she and the maids around her didn't tell anyone, and her eldest brother and third uncle remained silent, the emperor's identity would not be exposed.
If word got out that the emperor had appeared at the British palace, the Queen Mother would definitely suspect that the emperor was pretending to be ill.
The emperor is dreaming if he still wants to seize power without bloodshed.
The capital will soon be in chaos, and a war is absolutely unavoidable.
"You all stand down!" Meng Shu waved his hand, signaling for all the guards to stand down.
"Hurry up!" Meng Shu winked at the emperor who had covered his face, then turned to look at his third uncle and eldest brother, coughed lightly and said, "I will explain the rest!"
But the emperor lowered his voice and said, "Will you be punished if I leave like this?"
Meng Shu couldn't help but glare at him when he heard this. What did he mean?
They didn't do anything shameful, so why should they be punished?
Have a private meeting with a foreign man?
It doesn’t seem to count!
After all, he was the one who shamelessly came here on his own. She also saw that it was too cold outside, so she let him sit inside for a while. The two of them did not go beyond each other.
Otherwise, he would have to stand outside the window and not even be able to enter her door.
"This is all my fault, don't blame Shu'er, just come to me if you have any problems!" After the emperor finished speaking, he jumped onto the roof and quickly disappeared into the night.
Meng Shu: "..."
what to do?
Although he is the emperor, she really wants to tear his mouth apart now!
If he said that, how could he explain it?
I didn't expect that the dignified emperor would be so shameless. He kept saying that he would not force her to stay with him, but in the end he only made some small moves.
Meng Shu now seriously suspected that the emperor was discovered by her eldest brother on purpose.
Of course, she has no evidence!
"Shu'er, what's going on? You and the emperor..." Meng Yanxing asked quickly after entering the room.
It's just that there are some things he can't say easily.
Firstly, it was related to his sister's reputation, and secondly... he felt that his sister would not do something that was disgraceful to the family tradition.
"If I said that it was the emperor who came to pester me, would you believe it, brother?" Meng Shu said helplessly.
"Of course I believe it, my sister is the best woman in the world." Meng Yanxing nodded quickly.
Meng Huaian on the side was not so easily fooled, and asked first: "How long has it been?"
"What?" Meng Shu pretended to be confused.
It would be great if only the eldest brother found out.
"How long has it been since the Emperor sneaked into our house to look for you?" Meng Huaian asked.
He didn't believe that this little girl didn't understand, she was just pretending to be confused in front of him.
"Including today, it's been eighteen days!" Meng Shu didn't dare to hide it and confessed honestly.
"It's been so long!" Meng Huaian and Meng Yanxing were shocked after hearing this.
"Third uncle, eldest brother, don't worry. The relationship between the emperor and me is pure and innocent. There has never been any violation. Originally, I let him stand outside the window and didn't let him in. It's just that it's too cold tonight, and he It's the emperor, and I'm not exempt from the blame if he gets frozen, so I let him climb through the window and go into the house to warm himself by the brazier, and then let him leave in a moment," Meng Shu explained quickly.
