Chapter 124 Already covering the sky with one hand
"We have no choice but to protect the emperor's heirs. Otherwise, if Yue Li's army really attacks the palace, won't the bloodline of the Nanlin royal family be cut off?" Linglong said, taking Nangong Meng's hand, "They all say
People who are pregnant cannot be sad, otherwise it will be bad for the baby in the belly. Sister, please be more open-minded!"
"Having said that, I still feel very sad. The child is so innocent. I have been in this palace for five years, and I have watched one or two princes be born. I have watched these princes and princesses grow up day by day.
They are all like beauties. The emperor usually loves her so much and holds them in his hands like treasures, but now they can only live among the people. It's so pitiful." Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, so the motherly nature of Nangong Meng naturally came out.
"I think the emperor must have his arrangements. Although the prince and princess will not be able to live as good as in the palace from now on, he is determined not to make them suffer too much."
"Maybe. But they are still young, and it is the first time they have left their mother, so they may not be able to adapt to it for a while." Nangong Meng thought thoughtfully. "Besides, the emperor's arrangement must not be much better. Since it is going to
Hiding their whereabouts will certainly not arouse suspicion from outsiders. I’m afraid it’s safest to pretend they are children of ordinary people!”
"My sister is smart, I didn't expect this." Linglong played with the tea cup in her hand, "The queen is also a careful person. I must have considered these issues again and again. The eldest prince is also among them. She must protect her.
My own son’s thoughtfulness.”
"The emperor always loves the eldest prince the most, but now, alas..." Thinking that Xian Xiao had worked hard for so many years, but in the end, it was all in vain, Nangong Meng couldn't help but sigh, this imperial power and the world have never been the same.
The road is never up to you. No wonder A Ding would say that if he rises in the future, he will be forced to do so.
"The eldest prince is not the only one that the emperor loves most. That Qingyu, doesn't the emperor love her? But this morning, she didn't even come to see the emperor off. She is really proud of his favor!" Linglong changed the subject and started talking again.
To Qingyu.
"The Emperor went to bed at Lingyu Pavilion last night. He must have said goodbye to Concubine Qingyu early this morning. It's understandable that she didn't go to the tower." Nangong Meng understood how uncomfortable Qingyu might be.
He must have been afraid that he would lose control in public, so he forcibly resisted not going to the tower to say goodbye to Duan Muqian. Without thinking much at the moment, he said something to relieve Qingyu.
"Sister is kind-hearted and always thinks of others in everything." Linglong sighed, "It's a pity that the Queen will not think so." At this point, she raised her eyes and saw that the maids were all standing far away, and then she lowered her head again.
sound.
"Now that the emperor has left, the harem belongs to the queen. If the queen is offended, the consequences will be unimaginable. When the emperor was here before, the queen might have been afraid. Now, the emperor won't be back for a while, and we won't be able to come back.
If you don’t go, the queen’s punishment of an individual would be as simple as crushing an ant to death?!”
"What do you mean, sister?" After hearing this, Nangong Meng suddenly felt cold all over, and a chill spread from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister, haven't you heard yet? The emperor already said in the court that day that after he personally conquered the country, all matters big and small will be handed over to the prime minister. This means that the queen now has one hand to cover the sky. If anyone offends her, there is still something to be done.
Good fruit to eat?”
Linglong lowered her voice as she spoke, "In my opinion, this Qingyu is really ignorant of current affairs. The emperor went on a personal expedition and stayed in her palace the night before leaving, which made the queen dissatisfied. Today,
Early in the morning, everyone went to the city tower to see her off, but she still dared not to go. How could the queen feel happy? I think the queen would definitely make trouble for her in less than two days!"
Nangong Meng was shocked, and when she thought about Xian Xiao's behavior, it was indeed possible. At that moment, she was a little worried about Qing Yu.
"Sister, don't blame me for talking too much. You should be more careful. My sister advised you to stay away from the pouring rain last time. But it's better for you. Not only do you stay close to her, but you also help her talk in every way. Just
Aren't you afraid that the Queen will have a grudge against you and punish you too?" There was already a trace of complaint in Linglong's words.
"How has my sister ever gotten close to her?" Of course Nangong Meng couldn't admit her closeness to Qingyu.
"Yesterday, you and she actually took the emperor's soft sedan to the Buddhist hall together. You didn't see it. The queen's face was so ugly at that time!"
"Yesterday morning, the emperor came with her to Qingmeng Pavilion. Is it possible that my sister kicked her out? At that time, the emperor also offered to take me to the Buddhist hall." Nangong Meng's voice was a little aggrieved.
"My silly sister, do you think the Queen will think so too?" Linglong patted Nangong Meng's hand, "The Queen must be thinking, why did the Emperor bring Qingyu to your palace instead of bringing anyone else? Why?
The Emperor did not take Qingyu to other people's palaces, but came to you? This can only show that in the eyes of the Emperor, your relationship with Qingyu, sister, is extraordinary. After all, no one in this palace is close to Qingyu.
"
"My sister said that the emperor proposed to take you to the Buddhist hall, but my sister clearly knew the power of this, so why didn't she refuse? Doesn't my sister know how dazzling it is to get off the emperor's soft sedan with that Qingyu in full view of everyone?"
"This..." Nangong Meng was stunned for a moment. Yes, although she was cautious in everything, she forgot that others would exaggerate under the stimulation of jealousy. Such small details actually became a good relationship between herself and Qingyu. "
evidence of guilt".
"My sister is kind-hearted and usually thinks about things easily. But the queen is different. She has been following the emperor for nearly twenty years. If she doesn't have some means, how can she manage the harem smoothly and manage all the women obediently? She thinks
She always has her own perspective on issues and will not easily listen to other people’s excuses. My sister
But you must remember, after all, things are different now. The emperor is not in the palace, and the queen is confident now. It would be bad if she angered her sister because of the pouring rain." After Linglong said this, she stood up.
Come on, "Sister, what I said today is all for my sister's good. Please don't worry about it."
"How could it be, sister? Sister, you are careless. You must pay attention to it in the future." Nangong Meng also stood up, "Sister is going back? Why don't you have lunch at your sister's place before leaving?"
"It's not necessary to have a meal. I also want to go see the Queen. Now that the prince and princesses have left the palace, the Queen must be in a bad mood. I'll go see what news there is, so that I can let you know when the time comes.
