Hu Sheng looked at Meng Shaoqing in front of him and laughed sadly: "How could I let Prime Minister Hao know that I know this? I have been struggling in the court for decades, but I can't
Maybe you don’t even have the ability to save your life?”
"But you don't look very smart now. You can use this matter to threaten Prime Minister Hao. With his methods and the connections of the imperial concubine's family, it is not impossible to protect you!" Meng Shaoqi looked in front of him.
Hu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"He refuses to see me at all!" Hu Sheng lowered his head and looked at his fingers, "I have done so many things for him, but as for him, he refuses to see me at all. In fact, you are right,
I am just a chess piece, a discarded piece that he throws into the corner and will never be used again!"
Meng Shaoqing looked at Hu Sheng in front of him for a long time, and then laughed: "Okay, I understand!"
"Don't you want evidence?" Hu Sheng suddenly grabbed the railing in front of him.
"What kind of evidence can you give for this kind of thing? It's nothing more than some random things!" Meng Shaoqing stood up slowly, "Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, then I'll leave first!"
"Stop!" Hu Sheng suddenly grabbed the railing in front of him and looked at Meng Shaoqing with a splitting eye. "Where's the peony? You promised me that you would bring me the peony!"
Meng Shaoqing looked at Hu Sheng indifferently: "When did I promise you? I just want to know what you want, but I never promised you from the beginning to the end!"
"You lied to me!" Hu Sheng glared at Meng Shaoqing and yelled.
"Shaoyao is not at fault. She has had a rough life and is still being used by you. It's good that she can wake up and identify you in time. How can we push such a woman who is trying to change her miserable life into your clutches?
!" Meng Shaoqing sneered, "You know that the prince will not agree to your excessive request, so you think I will agree to it because I care about human life, right?"
Hu Sheng clung to your railing with a look of disbelief.
"I have no regard for secular etiquette, but I am not someone who cares about human life!" Meng Shaoqing turned and left, "Master Hu, I'm so sorry, you misjudged me!"
When Meng Shaoqing walked out of the cell, Hu Sheng's roar could still be faintly heard. It was raining outside, and the guard handed him an umbrella, and then said: "Except the prince, no one is allowed to see him next. You know
Is it done?"
The guard looked at Meng Shaoqing's solemn expression and nodded cautiously: "Yes, Crown Prince!"
Meng Shaoqing left in the rain, and Xu Shi led the horse behind him. He held an umbrella and walked forward slowly.
"Your Majesty..." Xu Shi was a little worried, so he followed Meng Shaoqing closely.
When Meng Shaoqing heard Xu Shi's voice, he turned around and said, "You didn't follow me in just now, right?"
Xu Shi paused for a moment, then nodded: "I have been standing outside, and the prince didn't let me go in with him!"
Meng Shaoqing nodded: "Remember, no matter who asks you, you have to answer this way. You have never been in, and you don't know what happened inside. Everything has nothing to do with you!"
Xu Shi wanted to say something else, but Meng Shaoqing was already holding an umbrella and slowly walking away. He didn't know what happened, but it was almost certain that that incident would involve many people.
Xu Shi trotted forward: "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, I will accompany you!"
"It's nothing!" Meng Shaoqing laughed, "Don't take it too seriously, let's go back home!"
There is no airtight wall in the world. As soon as Meng Shaoqing left the dungeon, Hu Sheng was taken into the palace by the emperor's people. Before Meng Shaoqing woke up, he was called away by people from the palace, and he was not even let go.
Pass.
Marquis Yongchang, who returned to Beijing after half a year, saw his son being taken away. He stopped the guards to ask, but only got one message: "We are just following orders!"
There was no news, and no reason was known, and the person was just taken away.
Marquis Yongchang, who had always paid little attention to Meng Shaoqing, noticed something strange. He went to the palace overnight to meet the saint, but was stopped outside the palace.
On the way to the imperial study, Meng Shaoqing bumped into Xie Chengyin, who was called into the palace just like him.
As soon as Xie Chengyin saw Meng Shaoqing, he hurried up and asked, "Did you go to see Hu Sheng?"
Meng Shaoqing raised his eyes: "I didn't take the initiative to see him, he insisted on seeing me, so I took this trip!"
"Then you must know what happened!" Xie Chengyin frowned, "Hu Sheng was brought into the palace by his father overnight. There is no news yet, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive!"
Meng Shaoqing didn't say anything, and just walked forward quietly.
Seeing his appearance, Xie Chengyin knew that something big had probably happened, and his heart became heavier and heavier. The two of them just walked forward, one step deeper and one step shallower.
It was late at night, but the imperial study room was brightly lit. When Xie Chengyin and Meng Shaoqing walked in, the emperor was sitting there with a dejected look on his face, with a hint of murderous intent hidden in his eyebrows.
As soon as Meng Shaoqing came in, the emperor sat up straight and without waiting for him to salute, he pressed forward and asked: "Did you go to the dungeon to meet Hu Sheng?"
Meng Shaoqing did not look guilty at all. He raised his head and looked at the emperor: "Hu Sheng came to me and said he had something to talk to me about. As for what it is, your Majesty should already know it by now!"
The emperor's face looked ugly. Whether it was Meng Shaoqing's psychological effect or the lighting problem, he always felt that the emperor's face looked a little green.
Xie Chengyin on the side still looked confused. He didn't know what happened from beginning to end, but he still realized the seriousness of the matter, so from the beginning, he didn't ask questions and just listened quietly.
After a long time, the emperor probably went through a very complicated inner negotiation, and finally let out a long sigh: "Meng Shaoqing, you should know the seriousness of this matter. Confusing the royal bloodline will punish the nine tribes!"
Meng Shaoqing lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"I will make other arrangements for the guards in the dungeon. Don't worry, I won't hurt their lives. But I hope that no one else will ever know about this matter!" The emperor looked at him with a gloomy face.
Meng Shaoqing.
"Your Majesty, put it down. I am the only son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. I have no descendants yet and have not yet completed the mission of our family to carry on the family line. I don't want to die just yet!" Meng Shaoqing said softly.
Meng Shaoqing's words calmed the originally unusually silent atmosphere, and the emperor's originally painful and messy heart gradually calmed down.
