cross princess

Qi Cheng and Lu Meng were sitting on horseback together. This was Lu Meng's first time riding a horse, and the dishes he served were very fresh.

"Don't move around." Qi Cheng straightened Lu Meng impatiently.

"Oh." Lu Meng secretly rolled her eyes wildly, if it wasn't for riding a horse with you, who would be so close to you.

The horse stopped at the foot of the mountain, Qi Cheng turned over and dismounted, "Come down."

"Where is this?" Lu Meng stood safely on the ground with Xiaoqiang's help, and looked around. The trees in the mountains were lush and the air was fresh, but there were too many trees, and except for a small road, there was no other place to be seen. that's it.

"Fuyuan Temple." Qi Cheng took the lead on the path without even looking at Lu Meng, and Xiaoqiang quickly helped Lu Meng to follow.

The scenery in this mountain is very good, with trickling streams, Lu Meng feels much better when walking on the mountain road.

"You look happy."

"Yes." Lu Meng opened her arms, "It's really exhausting to be bored in the palace all day! Once in a while, I come out to climb mountains and worship Buddha, so I feel refreshed!"

"If that's the case." Qi Cheng warned lightly, "If you have any other plans for coming to Fuyuan Temple this time, it's better to get rid of that idea as soon as possible."

he knows?

Lu Meng half-closed her eyes, Qi Cheng's expression was the same as before, and there was no flaw.

Sure enough, Bingshan's face is so good, don't worry about what he thinks in his heart, there is no emotion on his face, it's too difficult to figure out his mind, strange, why did I like such a hero in the first place?

Hey, it's just because I was too young!

"What other plans can I have, isn't it all within your expectations, the emperor?"

"Let's go!"

Moving on, Qi Cheng didn't say anything strange.

The incense in Fuyuan Temple is strong, and the people who come and go are all pious. The golden Buddha in the temple is merciful, and the Arhats next to it are mighty, which is no different from modern temples.

After the show was over, Lu Meng begged a few sticks of incense from the novice monk, lit it, and knelt down on the futon.

"Faithful girl Zhang Pengpeng, hereby beg my son Qi Hao to grow up safely, happy and healthy, and smart."

"Faith girl Lu Meng, I hope everything will go well after this, and Xiaojiu, Qi Hao and I can be together forever."

Lu Meng bowed three times and got up, the novice at the side took the incense from Lu Meng's hand and put it in the incense burner, and said with a smile: "As long as you are sincere, the Buddha will surely bless your wishes to come true."

Qi Cheng walked to Lu Meng's side, glanced at the golden Buddha, and did not kneel down and offer incense, "The road is chosen by oneself, as long as he chooses the right road, I will ensure that he grows up safely."

Are you saying this for me?Lu Meng raised her eyebrows.

"The road of life is difficult, and we can always encounter bifurcations. Before reaching the end, no one dares to say that he is on the right road, so the only thing to do is rely on the heart."

Lu Meng clasped his hands together and bowed three times in a pious manner.

"Ah, what a coincidence!" Lingling and Yang Yan chatted and laughed clearly, and Lingling saw Lu Meng with a surprised face, "Linger greets the emperor and empress!"

"Excuse me." Qi Cheng didn't look surprised at all.

Lingling stretched out her hand and grabbed Lu Meng, "Your Majesty, everyone said that there is a lotus pond in Fuyuan Temple, which is a must-see. Why don't we go and see it too?"

Lu Meng didn't leave, Lingling pulled Lu Meng coquettishly, "Let's go."

Qi Cheng understood, and stepped forward.

Walking to the backyard, the so-called lotus pond is really good, but it's a bit small, and the lotus hasn't bloomed yet.

Lingling led Lu Meng to the front, while Yang Yan kept playing around with Qi Cheng in order to separate them, "Hey, Your Majesty, do you know that lotus has another name?"

"Yes, Fu Rong." Qi Cheng only stared at Lu Meng, but still answered Yang Yan's words.

Yang Yan was a little dejected, his head hung to one side, and he did not give up: "Your Majesty, you know that the thousand-petal lotus is a treasure in the lotus. Your Majesty, are you listening? The one with a double flower heart is called a double lotus..."

Lingling turned her head, Qi Cheng was still following the two of them, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to fall into the lotus pond when he slipped, but was caught by Lu Meng's sharp eyes and quick hands.

"Niang Niang?" Lingling was puzzled.

Lu Meng shook her head and said loudly, "Your Majesty, sister Ling'er and I will go to the back room for a walk, so don't follow me!"

Qi Cheng stopped in his tracks, expressionless.

"Hey, that's all right?" Lingling was surprised, "I have prepared a lot of plans!"

"Qi Cheng's willingness to let me come to Fuyuan Temple speaks for itself. Be straightforward and save you from falling into the pool and suffering! Let's go, don't make Xiao Jiu and General Yang wait in a hurry."

The Nine Kings looked even more handsome today, Yang Yu followed behind him, and the two walked out from the inner hall.

"Mengmeng!" Nine Kings stepped forward and looked Lu Meng up and down, "It's hard to see Mengmeng during this time, and I haven't seen Mengmeng since the last time we parted. Mengmeng has lost a lot of weight!"

"Xiao Jiu." Lu Meng patted Jiu Wang's hand and looked at Yang Yu.

"The Queen Mother."

"General Yang, you don't need to be polite." Lu Meng replied, "I haven't congratulated General Yang on raising my country's prestige in Southern Xia, but after this battle, General Yang's name will be immortalized forever!"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Yang Yu's face was full of smiles, and he was still very satisfied with these words, "This time I came to see the empress in person and tell His Highness the Nine Kings something important! After Yunxi is calmed down, the emperor We are about to go to the Northern Desert!"

"Our chance has finally come!" Jiu Wang's eyes flashed with excitement, he had been waiting for this opportunity for too long.

This day is still coming!All the preparations were just for this one opportunity. If Qi Cheng survived, the Nine Kings would be exiled to the frontier for rebellion. However, if Qi Cheng died, where would I go?

Lu Meng was a little confused.

"What's the matter? Mengmeng?" Noticing Lu Meng's silence, the Nine Kings said anxiously, "You... don't you want this opportunity to come?"

"No." Lu Meng shook her head and looked directly at the Nine Kings. The firmness in her eyes dispelled the uneasiness in the Nine Kings' hearts. No matter what, even if I will travel back later, I will give the Nine Kings a different ending! "General Yang, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

"Yes!"

"There are no outsiders here. I have something to say to General Yang." Lu Meng didn't close the door, looked into the distance, Yang Yu cupped her hands behind her, "I'm all ears!"

"Since ancient times, kings have hated masters with great achievements. Of course, at this moment, Qi Cheng has no wings, and he still has to rely on the general. The general will not have such worries. It's just that after the Beimo expedition, the nine kings and Zhao kings were all eliminated by Qi Cheng. What about the future?"

Yang Yu didn't answer.

Lu Meng went on to say, "Before you came here again, you already met Qi Cheng, right?"

Yang Yu was taken aback, wondering whether Lu Meng really knew or lied to him, "Why did you say that?"

"You're a smart man, let me just say it straight! The general seems to have one heart with us, but in fact, he is Qi Cheng's confidant behind the scenes, right?" Lu Meng waved her hand to stop Yang Yu from explaining, "I'm not surprised you have I don't think you made a mistake with such a choice, it's just that the spy business is still unpleasant, the general might as well think about it."

"I have a question for the general."

"My lady, please tell me!"

"I didn't expect it at the beginning, when Hao'er was born in Yang's residence, how did the general answer Qi Cheng?"

Yang Yu pondered, what Lu Meng asked was "How to answer" instead of "Did Qi Cheng ask?" In addition to the previous words, I am afraid that he really knows the relationship between himself and Qi Cheng.

"I said that I was not present when my mother gave birth, so I don't understand."

Lu Meng smiled, "A long time ago, someone told me to put eggs in two baskets, so that if one basket was overturned, the other basket would remain. I asked, why do I have to think that the basket will overturn? All my eggs are in one basket, but I just need to make sure that this basket doesn't tip over, won't it be fine?"

"I'm afraid, nothing is absolute!" Yang Yu sighed, struggling.

"The Nine Kings label on Yang Yan is deeply ingrained, do you think you can get rid of it? Once the Nine Kings fail, for your sake, Qi Cheng will definitely not do anything to Yang Yan, but you don't have to think about the future. This handle Put it there, you can take it out and wave it when you need it later, has the general thought about it?"

"Yichen's understanding of the emperor..."

"General Yang, people change. Especially sitting on the throne, many things will change."

"Then how can the empress guarantee that after the minister chooses the Nine Kings, the minister will not end up in the same end?"

Yang Yu finally didn't hide it, and asked directly. Choosing Qi Cheng was a helpless result. The burden of rebellion was too great. He used to think that the Nine Kings could not accomplish anything, so he hugged Qi Cheng's thigh tightly.It's just that recently, he didn't dare to be so sure anymore, which is why he didn't choose to tell Qi Cheng the news about the relationship between Qi Hao and the Nine Kings before, he always wanted to leave a way out for himself.

"The Nine Kings will not ascend the throne." Lu Meng said earnestly: "After Qi Cheng dies, the Nine Kings will only become the Regent King, my Hao'er will sit on the dragon chair, I will be the Empress Dowager, and you will be the Zhen Guo." Lord, my father is Duke Fu. Before the emperor grows up, we all need generals. After the emperor grows up, Yang Yan will be able to take the position of general and continue to assist. Dai Ronghua still has it!"

In other words, Qi Hao was indeed born of the Nine Kings and the Empress!Yang Yu's heart seemed to be churning, but he breathed a sigh of relief.Being able to give birth to Qi Hao under Qi Cheng's nose, the Nine Kings are definitely not as...simple as it seems!

"Maybe the general still needs some time to verify?" Lu Meng is considerate, "I don't force the general to make a choice at this moment. There are always forks in the road of life. One side looks like a lot of flowers, but it is actually full of poisonous snakes. The other side may be full of thorns, but in fact there are no roads. Worrying about life, which side to choose depends on how the general will do it!"

the other side.

Qi Cheng and Yang Yan knelt and sat on the lawn.

"I really want to know why you and the Nine Kings are so close."

Yang Yan rolled his eyes left and right, thinking that Lu Meng and the Nine Kings still had a conversation to say, so he had to coax Qi Cheng a bit, "Then I just said it, Your Majesty, don't be angry."

"Exempt you from death."

Yang Yan leaned forward with a shy face, "To be honest, although I'm a man, I'm also the honorary president of the Appearance Association, Brother Nine..." Yang Yan was a little embarrassed, and he waved his hands and acted like a baby. "Forget it, let's not talk about it." She looked like a little girl thinking of spring.

"Go ahead." Qi Cheng felt a little chilly in his heart.

"Oh." Yang Yan clicked his lips, with a straight expression, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile ambiguously as soon as he spoke, "Ninth brother, he is the most beautiful man in the dynasty, he needs to have a good appearance and a good figure. "Perhaps thinking of the handsome Nine Kings, he twisted his braids around his fingers, "And he is courageous and resourceful, with a good personality and tenderness~~"

"yi~~" Hearing that, Qi Sheng's goosebumps fell all over the ground.Fortunately, he is used to being expressionless. Although his expression is a little distorted at this moment, it is not enough to collapse.

"Yang Yan, the Nine Kings are as tender as water to you?" Lu Meng came out at this time, just in time to hear Yang Yan's coquettish last sentence, she couldn't help shivering, I said what's the matter with your expression?With a shy face, what happened to my Xiaojiu?You are a straight man, you have a soul!

"Of course."

Bah, you really shameless, Lu Meng spat secretly, obviously because she was so tender to me.

"It's over?" Qi Cheng opened his eyes.

"Ah."

"Let's go back."

Xingsheng Palace

"Ouch, son, you are getting heavy again!"

Back in the palace, Lu Meng's only activities were to hug and tease his son.

After playing with Qi Hao until he fell asleep, Xiaoqiang came.

"Qi Cheng met Yang Yu?"

"Your Majesty, do you know?" Xiaoqiang opened his mouth wide in admiration.

"Isn't this obvious?" Lu Meng shrugged, even if she hadn't seen the plot, she could guess it.

"Do you know what the two of them said?" This is to see if Yang Yu is on her side. Although she is sure, since Yang Yu didn't tell Qi Hao about Qi Hao last time, he probably won't now. She would say it, but it was about her life after all, so she couldn't help being nervous.

Xiaoqiang recalled it and began to perform Errenzhuan.

"General Yang said: This time, the Ninth King asked him to go to Fuyuan Temple to meet with you, the Empress, to discuss about the emperor's expedition to Beimo! If there is any doubt, General Yang said no, the emperor asked what the ladies were talking about, and General Yang said, just as the emperor expected, the lady is going to attack the emperor in Beimo, my lady, General Yang betrayed us!" Xiaoqiang was filled with righteous indignation, With fear again, "In this way, the emperor will know our plan, what should we do?"

"It's not difficult to guess, Qi Cheng knows nothing to be afraid of, did Yang Yu say anything else?"

"No more! General Yang just mentioned Yang Yan, and the emperor said that he would spare him for General Yang's sake!"

"You did a good job." Lu Meng nodded appreciatively, "Go back quickly! Lest Qi Cheng not find you and become suspicious!"

"Yes, madam!"

Since Yang Yu didn't tell about Hao'er, it showed that he wasn't a die-hard Qi Cheng faction. This Yang Yu has become a Mission Impossible now!Now the big plot remains the same as before, Qi Cheng will definitely follow the plot, and will do whatever he can in Beimo.

But, could Qi Sheng really die in Beimo?

Alas, if Qi Sheng dies, can I really stay?

Qi Hao was lying in the cradle, unaware of Lu Meng's troubles, sleeping soundly, with his mouth slightly open, looking unspeakably cute.Lu Meng gently poked his pink cheeks with her fingers, the softness from her fingertips could melt her heart, what should I do?

I don't want to go back anymore.
