The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

"I just want to climb higher, what's wrong with me?"

Meng Lianqing laughed self-deprecatingly, but did not feel that he was wrong at all, "It's just because I lost... If I had won, how could you still be alive today and say this in front of me?"

She looked at Jing Shu with eyes full of contempt, "What's more, you say it so nicely, don't you want to climb up and become a queen? You are no more noble than me!"

"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. You want to climb to higher places. There is nothing wrong with that, but that is your mistake. When you climb up, you only think about relying on others, not on yourself. "

Jing Shu said in a sarcastic tone when he saw that she was really unrepentant and that she had lost nothing.

Meng Lianqing frowned slightly when he heard the words, but seemed a little confused.

How could she no longer rely on herself?

Didn't she rely on herself along the way?

"In the beginning, you relied on King Duan. After King Duan died, you relied on Xiao Ye and your father. You have always relied on men. When did different men really rely on themselves?"

Jing Shu seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance, and directly exposed her last self-righteousness, "Maybe it's because you know in your heart that you are too incompetent and only have delusions in your head!"

"I don't have the ability? If I didn't have the ability, how could I have gotten to this point?"

When Meng Lianqing saw Jingshu belittling herself in this way, she immediately got up from the ground uncontrollably and asked in a loud voice, "The reason why I am only one step away from success today is not because of men at all, but because of Myself!

"To me, those men are just tools in my hands!

"It was the ineffectiveness of these tools that caused my failure! It's not that I was useless!"

Meng Lianqing defended herself repeatedly.

However, her words only made Jing Shu couldn't help but laugh.

"You say you have no ability, but you still don't admit it?"

Jing Shu had laughed enough and said rather speechlessly, "If you were really capable, why didn't you assist Prince Duan as an adviser? You could have given advice to Prince Duan while the late emperor was still alive and asked him to depose the prince. , and changed King Duan to be the crown prince.

"It's a pity that you just don't have the ability!

"Although the late Emperor dotes on Prince Duan, his preferred choice for the crown prince is still our Holy One. Prince Duan just can't become the crown prince!

“That’s all.

"After the death of the late emperor, the Holy Emperor ascended the throne for the first time, and his position is not stable. You can continue to plan for Prince Duan, disrupt the court, and make the Emperor's position untenable, so that Prince Duan still has a chance to claim the throne. Emperor, but you still have no ability. King Duan's rebellion was suppressed that night.

"Yes, Prince Duan is useless, but aren't you even more useless?"

Jing Shu's words were not very harmful, but extremely insulting. Every word poked Meng Lianqing's lungs, making her feel deeply humiliated. The calm look on her face was difficult to maintain.

Meng Lianqing could only press her lips together, grit her teeth, clenched her fists, stared at Jing Shu with red eyes, and endured it.

Just listen to Jing Shu continue: "Let's not talk about Xiao Ye, an old fox.

"Let's talk about your father, King Pingnan. He has great military exploits and is deeply loved by the people of Fujian. He could have relied on these military exploits to spend his old age in secret, but what about now?

"Because of your ambition that does not match your abilities, he committed the crime of rebellion, and all the achievements he had had were wiped out by you!

"He is your biological father!

"However, in your heart, I am just a tool for your self-expansion!

"Oh, how pitiful.

"Meng Lianqing, I would like to ask you one last question. You have harmed your biological father. Do you really feel no guilt at all about this?"

When Jing Shu said this, she just stopped talking.

Because she had already seen it. Lu Zan arrived at some unknown time and brought a team of guards. Standing next to him was an old man with shackles on his hands and a look of embarrassment. He was looking at Meng Lianqing with a sad and disappointed expression. He is Meng Lianqing's biological father, Meng Huaizhang, King of Pingnan.

Obviously, they have all heard what Meng Lianqing said.

Including Meng Lianqing's words that people, including her father, are just tools in her hands.

"Why should I feel guilty?"

At this time, Meng Lianqing didn't know that Meng Huaizhang was listening outside, so he sneered and said nonchalantly, "He has a large army in Pingnan, but he can't conquer the territory of the Xia Dynasty because he has too much useless pity in his heart." I don't want the people to suffer war.

"If he were more ruthless and led troops directly to the capital, I would still have a chance to escape even if I lost. How could I be like this now, where I can only become a piece of meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by you?

"For a useless old loser, I don't need to feel any guilt at all!"

As Meng Lianqing said this, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Outside, King Pingnan burst into tears for an instant, looking very sad and disappointed.

Lu Zan looked past Meng Lianqing and looked at each other from afar with Jing Shu.

Then, he quietly took King Pingnan away.

Jing Shu knew that after this incident, King Pingnan might be so disappointed with Meng Lianqing that he would give up resistance completely.

In this way, the war in Fujian can be avoided.

Even King Pingnan was able to save his life.

After all, he used to be like a god of war to the people of Fujian, and he was also a great deterrent to Japanese bandits and pirates. Even for these reasons, Lu Zan would not kill him.

"Did you say that on purpose? Did you know that King Pingnan was outside just now? You said that on purpose to protect him?"

After a while, Jing Shu looked at Meng Lianqing with penetrating eyes and said softly.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. I can't even protect myself. What does his life and death have to do with me?"

Meng Lianqing rubbed her neck and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, more tears welled up from his eyes.

Jing Shu sighed slightly.

For a moment I didn't know what to say.

"Take her down and hand her over to the Holy Lord." In the end, she only waved her hand and ordered.

"Yes, empress." Gu Changzai obeyed the order and ordered the imperial guards to take Meng Lianqing away.

Meng Lianqing looked back at her for the last time and stopped talking.

In the end, he suddenly sneered and said nothing. His hands were tied by the guards, and Gu Chang followed behind him, and was half dragged and half dragged away.

Her sneer made Jingshu instantly turn cold again.

Just listen to Meng Lianqing say in her heart: "Although I was completely defeated this time, it is not a failure after all.

"The false information that Lu Zan was to be executed was sent out of the palace two days ago, and he rushed all the way to Beirong Palace.

"Beirong Emperor Qi Yanlu has always been ambitious. If he knew that there was a palace coup in the Great Xia Dynasty, the emperor was dead, and the situation in the court was unstable, he would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to attack Saibei.

“It won’t be long before the entire Saibei is plunged into war.

"When the time comes, huh."
