Chapter 180, Father's Kindness and Daughter's Filial Piety(?)
It is said that women from this aristocratic family would always bring an extra set of clothes with them when going out in case of emergency. Meng Shu first asked her nurse to help her wrap the wound a few times to prevent blood from seeping out, and then she put on new clothes and started again.
When dressing up, especially blush and lipstick, your whole face will look brighter.
Otherwise, how can we say that makeup is one of the three evil arts?
Meng Shu, dressed as if she was safe and sound, slowly walked out of the inner room, bowed Yingying and said goodbye, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the Concubine, I will do my best."
Although Yue Wangshu hesitated a little, he still let her go.
Yan Zheng hummed, "She knows what she's interested in."
Then he held Yue Wangshu's hand and said, "Okay, if you don't leave, the palace gate will be locked."
Yue Wangshu pursed his lips, "I don't believe there are people who dare to lock the emperor out of the palace."
But she was really tired after all the fuss today, so she nodded and followed the emperor back to the palace.
The Yuanzhi Palace was extremely quiet under the night. Yue Wangshu looked in the mirror and combed his long black hair, "I still don't understand. Why does the Marquis of Qingning have to make dangerous moves when he obviously has great wealth and splendor? Is he?
I don’t understand, Rokuro doesn’t value the second prince? It’s such a waste to put so much effort and bet on the second prince even at the expense of a daughter!”
Yan Zheng had already taken off his outer robe and was lying on Yue Wangshu's soft high bed, with a cold expression on his face: "Huixin asked before her death that she must not give her several brothers official positions, so Meng Dongchuan can only be an idle marquis."
At that time, I thought she cherished a good reputation, but now that I think about it, she must have understood the character of her brother, so she did not dare to let him become an official."
Yue Wangshu knew that Empress Meng strictly restrained her mother's family during her lifetime. If any of the Meng family's children did anything illegal, she would definitely ask the emperor to deal with it severely. Even her brothers were not allowed to serve as officials. In this way, she can be called
She is worthy of being regarded as a virtuous queen through the ages.
"So, Meng Dongchuan is not willing to be a marquis waiting for death, so he decided to assassinate me?" Yue Wangshu almost cursed in his heart, this is none of my business! It was your sister who refused to let you be an official!
Yan Zheng pondered slightly and said: "I'm afraid he thinks that Cheng Zhen and Meng Shu's marriage failed and it was you who was responsible for it..."
Yue Wangshu:mmp!
This is none of my business?!
"Okay, Wang Shu, don't be angry. Since he dares to do such a treasonous thing, I won't tolerate it." Yan Zheng's tone was calm with a hint of coldness that was hard to detect.
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but hesitate: "But he is Queen Meng's brother after all... If this happens, won't the entire Meng family be affected?" - He will die if he dies, but after all, there are still so many innocent people.
Woolen cloth.
Yan Zheng sighed: "So, I will investigate and find out whether there are other accomplices. After they become traitors, I can only hide them and kill them."
Oh, I understand, it’s like killing King Shou.
Although the method is disgraceful, at least it preserves the reputation of the descendants and prevents innocent people from being implicated. It can be regarded as a way to have both worlds.
"Wait, accomplice? Contrarian? Who is Liulang suspecting?" Yue Wangshu couldn't think of anyone else who would follow Meng Dongchuan in such a high-risk thing.
Yan Zheng did not answer directly, only said coldly: "I hope not!"
Is this Yan Laoliu doubting his own son?
You know, the princes have not yet opened their mansions, and they are all living under the nose of Yan Laoliu!
"Okay." Yan Zheng showed a warm smile and waved to her, "It's getting late, so go to bed early."
At the same time, Qingning Hou was in a different situation.
"Father!" Meng Shu walked quickly into Qingninghou's study with a panic look on her face and said with tears, "My daughter is useless. Before she could stop her, the assassin was killed on the spot by the eunuch beside the imperial concubine!"
Meng Dongchuan's expression was shocked, and he instinctively suspected at first. He quickly looked at his daughter, "How can the eunuch next to the imperial concubine have such skill? Shu'er, your clothes..." Meng Dongchuan naturally noticed that Meng Shu had changed clothes immediately.
.
Meng Shu cried with tears on her face: "At that time, blood was sprayed everywhere, and anyone who came closer was splashed all over. The eunuch was so cruel that even the imperial concubine was frightened! When my daughter looked at it, she didn't look like a eunuch at all.
Like, like...Embroidery Guard!"
As she spoke, Meng Shu's body trembled slightly: "Father, everyone was detained for questioning at that time. If I hadn't been your daughter, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back today!"
"Don't be afraid!" Meng Dongchuan quickly patted Meng Shu on the shoulder, acting like a loving father.
It was also a coincidence that this shot happened to hit the injured area. Meng Shu tried not to show any signs of strangeness, but looked timid and panicked: "Father, the emperor has asked the Xiuyi Guards to conduct a thorough investigation. In case... the investigation is on father's head,
Our whole family will die!"
Meng Dongchuan looked calm. He put his hands behind his hands and said, "Don't worry, my father has arranged everything."
Meng Shu couldn't help but asked hurriedly: "How did father arrange the aftermath? Will this matter really be found out on us? Xiuyiwei is not a vegetarian, and this is at the feet of the emperor..."
How could Meng Dongchuan not panic at all, he just tried to stay calm: "There are people more suspicious than us."
Meng Shu was shocked. Her father really wanted to put the blame on someone else!
"What my father said...could it be -" Meng Shu immediately thought of the most suitable candidate to take the blame. He must have some power and compete with the four princes, wouldn't it be...
"Okay, I will leave the rest to my father. You can go back and rest in peace." Meng Dongchuan waved his hand.
Although she didn't get a clear answer, Meng Shu knew that she shouldn't ask further, otherwise it would only make her father suspicious, which would be a blessing to her body. "Yes, my daughter has resigned first."
Pianran returned to her boudoir, Meng Shu staggered and sat down on the beauty's couch.
"Girl!" Qiao's mother hurriedly went up to help her.
Meng Shu took a deep breath: "It's okay. Fortunately, it was bandaged a few more layers and it didn't seep out. I... just have a little rest."
Mother Qiao wiped away her tears: "Do you want to talk to the eldest son about this matter?"
Meng Shu shook her head hurriedly: "No, my brother is dull and simple. You must not let him know about this kind of thing!"
Mother Qiao sighed, "Girl, it's not been easy these past few years!"
At this moment, the cuckoo's call came from the back window. Meng Shu quickly cheered up and opened the window. Outside the window stood a familiar man dressed as a domestic servant, handing Meng Shu a badge.
After Meng Shu carefully examined it, he whispered the information he had just found out and the speculation in his heart, "Please report it to the emperor as soon as possible."
The servant nodded and disappeared into the night.
Meng Shu closed the window and couldn't help but be surprised: "The embroidered clothes guards penetrated in so quickly..." Or is it that there were already embroidered clothes guards in the Qingninghou Mansion?
