1023. Chapter 1023 Desperate to achieve the goal 【07】
Only then did Xiao Xian feel that he was too worried. Mingzhu was upright and upright. She had been in and out with him more than once and didn't care what others said.
He raised his hand and called a guard over, "What's going on?"
He didn't need to ask specifically. The guard immediately saluted and said, "Return to the prince, the third lady of the prime minister's house..."
He glanced at Shen Mingzhu and continued: "Kneeling at the Meridian Gate."
When Shen Mingzhu heard this, she sneered, "Are you asking for mercy from Mrs. Liu? Does Your Majesty have anything to say?"
The guard immediately said: "Yes, she wanted your majesty and the empress to treat Mrs. Liu lightly, and she also said that she was willing to save her mother with her own body and bear the blame for her mother. But your majesty ignored her and neither asked anyone to drive her away.
Without a summons, it’s like you don’t know.”
Shen Mingzhu frowned, what does the emperor mean?
Are you trying to reap the benefits?
She hummed softly and said to Xiao Xian: "Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, she hurried to the Meridian Gate, and Xiao Xian followed immediately.
Because there was a heavy snowfall, the whole outside the Meridian Gate was completely white, with only a few cleared paths running through it.
At this time, the north wind picked up again in the dark sky, and by the time they reached the Meridian Gate, snowflakes were already falling.
From a distance, you can see a thin and delicate figure kneeling outside the Meridian Gate, motionless, like a stone sculpture.
Shen Mingzhu sneered, "If you really want to ask for mercy, just go to Kunning Palace or Qianqing Palace, and go to the Meridian Gate to show off. Do you think everyone in the world is a fool?"
Xiao Xian pondered: "Even if she gets mixed reviews, at least she can make those who support her like her more."
At the expense of people who have no feelings for her, they also hate her. This kind of behavior will undoubtedly gather a group of people who are very supportive of her.
When the time comes, these people will be the pawns she uses to suppress Mingzhu.
Xiao Xian clenched his fingers, he would not allow anyone to harm Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyes and looked at the majestic outline of the Meridian Gate in the dark sky, and said calmly: "Neither Your Majesty nor the Queen expressed their opinions, so they just let her act like this. It seems that they also want to watch the excitement. Since they are so
If you want to see the excitement, then make it more exciting."
Xiao Xian was a little puzzled.
Shen Mingzhu chuckled, "Your Majesty, it's such a cold day, why should we join in the fun? Let's go home and drink tea by the stove and enjoy the plum blossoms."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, he staggered and suddenly fell into the snow.
Xiao Xian understood and immediately grabbed her into his arms before she landed, holding her and leaving quickly.
When he met the guard guarding the door, he only said, "Let me tell your Majesty that Miss Shen is ill and will not be able to see the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin today."
With that said, he left without looking back.
The guard had no choice but to report it in a hurry.
The emperor was having a banquet with Ye Luen, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin, and the queen, Xiao Che, Xiao Run, Xiao Wen, and Chu Ting were accompanying him.
Hearing that Shen Mingzhu was ill again, Xiao Che was the first to stand up, "Didn't you say that the antidote pill has been prepared?"
Xiao Run looked sarcastic: "Brother, maybe Miss Shen didn't take it or took it but didn't want to get better immediately?"
Xiao Wen had an unpredictable look on his face, while Chu Ting's peach blossom eyes were sparkling, causing several palace maids to blush and keep peeking at him, giggling.
Chu Ting glanced at Xiao Run, "Your Highness, are you familiar with Shen Mingzhu?"
