At the same time, Montessori Farm on the outskirts of Beijing.
Aunt Ying and Meng Jia were chatting happily. The two parties had an in-depth exchange of views on each other's wishes and future plans, and gained mutual understanding and support.
"The empress originally did not agree with letting other girls from the Lin family continue their marriage. She felt that the general should be matched with a better daughter from a famous family. However, she is in the palace, old and frail, and cannot go out for a long time. There are many things that she cannot control."
Meng Jia said politely: "I know, I would like to tell my empress not to worry, the girl from the Lin family is very good."
Aunt Ying was very satisfied with his attitude. She changed her voice and whispered: "Didn't you tell the general to bring someone here? Why did you only see the general?"
Earlier, they had discussed a crucial matter with Meng Jia.
The Royal Forest Army was controlled by King Shou, and after Meng Jia entered the capital, he was a lamb to be slaughtered.
In order to seize power easily, he must have an army that is trustworthy and highly effective.
He was responsible for secretly leading the army to Beijing, while the Lin family was responsible for covering up the whereabouts of the army and secretly providing some military supplies.
Although the Lin family had provided such information to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was not willing to entrust her head to anyone, so it needed to be confirmed again.
Meng Jia said calmly: "I'll come first, they will come later. Don't worry, they will be there immediately if needed. Don't worry about me here, as long as you take care of the things over there."
Aunt Ying observed her words and was convinced that Meng Jia had not lied to her, so she left happily.
Through the Lin family's connections, I returned to the capital smoothly, only to see people making noise in the streets.
When people asked about it, it turned out that the Confucian scholars got together to make trouble again.
The peace treaty was leaked by someone unknown, and it was written out in full and posted on the city wall. The Confucian scholars took a look at it and thought, is this okay?
It was obvious that he had lost his power and humiliated the country. Everyone was responsible for the rise and fall of the country, so he had to oppose it. So a crowd gathered to cause trouble, and they all asked the regent and the Queen Mother Shen to come out and explain clearly.
There were also some hot-blooded people who were not afraid of trouble. They ran to surround the houses where the people of Qi lived, throwing rocks, excrement, oil, and torches inside, trying to break in, drag the people out and kill them.
However, the people of Qi had fled long ago and no one knew where they were hiding.
It seemed that the strategy had begun to take effect. Aunt Ying smiled with satisfaction and returned to the palace.
The secret was leaked out so easily. King Shou was furious and the first thing he thought of was Mu Yunhan.
Who told her to leave the palace at such a coincidence?
Almost as soon as she left the palace, rumors began to leak out, and the capital began to become uneasy.
A series of orders were issued, first closing the city gates and continuing to enforce martial law, and then arresting many people. At the same time, they also sent people to spread rumors that Mu Yunhan had seen the contract and she was also involved.
By the time all these arrangements were completed, it was already dark, and the Imperial Forest Army, armed with weapons, swept forcefully from one end of the capital to the other, and the noisy crowd finally calmed down for the time being.
Mu Yunhan also heard about what was going on outside. Although she was surprised, she didn't pay much attention to it. She was just annoyed that this little trouble caused the martial law to be renewed again and missed her important event.
But there was no need to rush such a matter, so she called Mu Ying over, first to collect blood for medicine, and second to arrange for Mu Ying to be transferred to the temple with Zhao Qing.
As you can imagine, Mu Ying objected fiercely: "No, I won't go! Let me live alone and leave you here, I can't do it."
Mu Yunhan handed over the jade seal in silence and looked at her quietly.
