Chapter 94: The Serious Consequences of the Poison Scheme (3)
Meng Xinzhu held the tea cup, frowned and nodded: "The storm is coming."
"The empress has also seen the problem." Lin Kefeng suddenly walked into the room. Xiao Zhao hurriedly stood up to greet him. He looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "You came out, how are you doing with the emperor? These are extraordinary times!"
"Xiao Zhao has made arrangements, don't worry, elder."
It seemed that the tenth prince also left because of this incident. Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Xiao Zhao looked at her and said, "There is another rumor in Yuedu, related to the empress."
"Doesn't it mean that the subjugated princess of Ye Kingdom went home to visit relatives and never returned, so she was killed by the emperor?"
Xiao Zhao and Lin Kefeng didn't say anything. In fact, judging from their expressions, there was no need to say anything.
Meng Xinzhu nodded, "It's really not innocent, what a vicious strategy!"
Alas, why is it not poisonous? A member of the subjugated imperial family was assassinated by the government because of his talent, and the subjugated princess was also killed when she returned to her hometown to visit relatives. What a huge impact this would have on the vassal countries of those months. In fact, these
The implication of the rumor is to tell everyone that Yue has begun to eliminate the influence of the vassal states in the court, and the next step may be to formally annex these vassal states.
It is said that the desire for power is like the temptation of a poppy, which makes people unable to let go and forget it. Those who stand at the pinnacle of power hold their power tightly for fear of being snatched away by others, and they are more willing to take advantage of those who intend to seize power.
Even if you kill a hundred by mistake, one will be in vain.
Nowadays, these vassal states are dependent on Yue because of their weak national power, but it does not mean that they have lost their desire to control power. Now that such rumors have emerged, the emperors of the vassal states who were already worried about Yue's intention to kill them are even more worried, and soon
It is hard to say whether they will reach an alliance driven by interests, and the situation that month will be worrying.
What's more important is that we still don't know who spread such rumors, but it is obvious that he has a purpose. The purpose is to see those countries of the moon become disloyal, to see civil strife emerge in the moon, and then reap the benefits of others.
Meng Xinzhu shook her head. This is politics. It is dark and inhumane. It only requires goals and results. "Well, this is really a difficult problem. The emperor has encountered a strong opponent." She stood up, "But in this world, it is a pleasure to meet an opponent.
Only in this way can life be fun and the intelligence and wisdom in the brain not be wasted."
In the evening, Meng Xinzhu was sitting in her room playing Huarong Road, and Xiao Zhao gently knocked on the door. Looking at Xiao Zhao with a serious face, she shook her head.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that cup of poisonous tea?"
Meng Xinzhu paused and nodded, "Remember, it's a good thing it smells like it, otherwise I wouldn't know how I died."
"There is a lot of right and wrong in the palace, so how can it be just a cup of poisonous tea?"
"Well, that's right. The reason why I can live safely is because of your protection."
"Your Majesty, do you know?"
Meng Xinzhu put down Hua Rongdao and poured him a cup of tea, "After being in the palace for so long, I haven't encountered anything else except poisoned tea. No matter how stupid you are, you should understand that the emperor sent someone to protect me.
"
"Xiao Zhao has always felt that the empress is a smart and powerful person, and there should be no problem living in the palace. The emperor is just too nervous and cautious about you. But later Xiao Zhao understood why the emperor did this," Xiao Zhao
For the first time, he boldly stared at Meng Xinzhu, "Because the emperor knows that the empress does not want to stay in the palace. The empress wants to leave the palace and leave the place of right and wrong. The empress is not afraid of death, and maybe she thinks that death can relieve everything, or in other words, death can
It will make you return to your own world, so the empress may not protect herself at all."
Meng Xinzhu looked at him, and she did think that maybe death could return to modern times.
"But the emperor is fond of the empress. The emperor knows that the empress is aware of the dangers in the palace, but has no intention of competing with the concubines, nor does he bother to deal with them, nor is he careful to be wary of their hidden tricks, so he sent four flame tribesmen
Guarding the empress day and night in the Bamboo Garden, ensuring the safety of the empress from food to daily life. The emperor did all this silently, just hoping that the empress would live an easier life and not have to worry about the conspiracies. He also hoped that the empress would feel that the palace was safe.
A place where I can stay. I hope I can keep my empress with my heart instead of using threats." Xiao Zhao paid attention to Meng Xinzhu's expression.
Meng Xinzhu nodded, "I am very touched and grateful for what he has done."
"Since you are touched and grateful, can you do something for your Majesty?"
Meng Xinzhu looked up at him and smiled, "Can everything be solved if I go back? You also know that I don't want to stay in the palace. Even if I go back, I will still leave."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has done so much, but you still can't keep your Majesty's heart?"
Meng Xinzhu stood up and said, "It's night, go back and rest. I'm leaving here tomorrow and I have to get up early!"
Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then walked out of the room, "Mother, you once said that among millions of people, when you meet the person you meet, in millions of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, there is neither a step early nor a night.
Step by step, you happen to catch up with the person who is destined to be with you for life. The empress came to Yue from another world, neither early nor late, but she happened to arrive at the palace. The first person she met was the emperor. Isn’t this considered
What about destiny? The Empress also said that if you fight hatred with hatred, hatred will always exist; if you fight hate with love, the hatred will disappear naturally. Since the Empress has love in her heart, why is she so ruthless? "
Meng Xinzhu smiled slightly. Even Xiao Zhao knew that she was from a different world. She didn't know who else would know. She stepped forward and closed the door.
The next day, when Meng Xinzhu left the small courtyard, only Xiao Zhao followed him. Lin Kefeng had disappeared. Anyway, he was used to his elusiveness. But who knew that the two of them met by the river on the outskirts of the city just after they left the city.
he.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to speak to you alone for a few words."
Xiao Zhao led the horse and continued walking forward. Meng Xinzhu stood by the river, "What, even the elders want to persuade me?"
Lin Kefeng looked towards the river, "I have been with your Majesty for so long, and I know that your Majesty has her own opinions, and she will not change them just by being told by others. I just want to ask your Majesty, does he know what the Emperor did when he was seriously ill?"
Meng Xinzhu shook her head, not to mention that she was unconscious and didn't know anyone else. After waking up, she quickly prepared to leave the palace. Everyone was busy saying goodbye, and no one mentioned what happened when she was unconscious.
"At that time, no one knew the identity of Elder Chen. He was just the father of the Ninth Princess. However, I was full of curiosity about the empress. I wanted to know what kind of person he was, so that his daughter, whom I had played with for most of my life, could recognize me as a godfather.
.Secondly, I also want to see what kind of person the Princess is who can be found by the Flame Clan."
