Spring dyed pear blossoms

After leaving the palace, Meng Qiucheng went directly to Fucheng Palace.

These days, King Liang was very active in the court. His Majesty didn't show it on the surface, but he already hated him to the core.

However, the higher the support for King Liang, the worse the ending will be.There have been several groups of people who have become kings, but they have been secretly dealt with by the emperor.

King Fucheng kept claiming to be sick, but Meng Qiucheng didn't believe it, so he wouldn't know.

In the past, Meng Qiucheng felt that the emperor was the most isolated and helpless one.After going through these things, she realized that the emperor is always the king of this land.A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how bad the emperor is, he is still superior to others.

The emperor's current thoughts are so deep that she also feels afraid.

Fucheng Wang is a scheming master. After all these years of dormancy, the forces in the court and China are intertwined. In the end, he was also calculated by the emperor.Before that, King Yong fell, the Queen Mother fell, and Zhang Shuli also fell.Speaking of it, all of this seemed to be related to her, but today, Meng Qiucheng found that every step of her was led by the emperor.

Now the only remaining courtiers with unruly intentions is King Fucheng, but he can still live well to this day. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a powerful character.

It's a pity that he is still one step away from the goal in his heart.

Therefore, in front of the present emperor, even King Fucheng seemed so vulnerable.

When Meng Qiucheng entered Prince Fucheng's mansion, he had probably figured it out, the emperor wanted her to come, not to persuade King Fucheng to surrender, but to warn King Fucheng, to urge him to die.

The butler of Fucheng Palace led Meng Qiucheng directly into the inner room, and then closed the door of the inner room.

King Fucheng lay on the bed, turned his head to look at Meng Qiucheng, with a smile on his face, and said, "Master Meng, I'm sorry if I trouble you to come here yourself."

"The lord is serious! The emperor is worried about the health of the lord, so he specially asked the minister to visit. You also know that the barbarians in Beijiang have been harassing all the time, and Fuchaertai's intention of treason is clearly revealed. The emperor is worried that once Fuchaer Tai joined forces with Northern Jiang Manzi to attack Dazhou, which will do us all harm but no benefit.

The emperor was still worrying about this matter, so he couldn't come in person, so he specifically asked Weichen to bring the hundred-year-old ginseng from the Qihui tribe to the palace to the prince.Although this ginseng is not the best among ginseng, it is born in a very dangerous place, and ordinary people cannot get it at all.This was brought by the leader of the Qi Hui Tribe and his tribe to get it from a dangerous place.It is said that many people died, and even the leader of the Qi Hui tribe was injured before he got it. "

"The emperor loves such a precious thing." King Fucheng didn't say much, but Meng Qiucheng answered each sentence.

Meng Qiucheng paused slightly, but he was a cautious old fox.But no matter how careful he was this time, he was only destined to die.

"My lord, the emperor intends to let you be the general of the Northern Expedition to wipe out the northern Jiang barbarians." Meng Qiucheng sighed and shook his head, "Looking at your lord's body, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take on such a big job!"

"Hehe, what Master Meng said is true! This king's body is getting worse day by day. I think that when I was young, I followed the late emperor to conquer east and west. On the battlefield, I was invincible. Time really is not forgiving. Now if you let me just sit in command of the army, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit still."

"Father Tiger has no dogs. Although the prince can't go on the Northern Expedition, His Royal Highness Prince Liang is very active. I believe that the Northern Expedition will surely be a success with King Liang going on behalf of the prince."

King Fucheng smiled and said nothing, just leaned on the thick pillow and looked at Meng Qiucheng, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

Meng Qiucheng also stared at him without squinting, his eyes full of magnanimity.

King Fucheng laughed even deeper, "In the past, I always thought that Mr. Meng would be the biggest stumbling block for me, but I didn't expect Mr. Meng to be just a pawn of the emperor."

"Your majesty is the king of a country. How can I guess what the emperor thinks? Besides, you have exhausted all your tricks, my lord, but today is the end of the day?" Meng Qiucheng did not intend to be euphemistic, but said bluntly. asked.

"Hahaha!" King Fucheng laughed suddenly, "Master Meng speaks quickly, if this king had known Master Meng earlier, maybe it would not have ended like this."

Meng Qiucheng shook his head and smiled, "Differences do not conspire with each other. The prince's thoughts are on the dragon chair in the imperial city, so the prince can be cruel to those innocent people, and get rid of them quickly. I don't agree."

King Fucheng paused for a moment, then moved his body slightly and said, "It turns out that Master Meng has always been pretending to be stupid. Hehe, that's right, the people around the emperor are not simple. This king really misjudged, and now he is even more stupid. It's too late to regret."

Meng Qiucheng's words had already arrived, and the rest didn't want to talk to him.He cupped his hands and bowed to King Fucheng, then said, "My lord is in poor health, I don't want to disturb you, so I will take my leave first."

After Meng Qiucheng finished speaking, he got up and wanted to go out.

King Fucheng still couldn't hold back and called out to her, "Lord Meng!"

Meng Qiucheng looked back at him, and suddenly felt that the haggardness on his face was not faked.

"Is there any other order from the lord?"

"The king knows that there is some quarrel between you and him. This time, you are also part of the Northern Expedition. I hope that Master Meng will put aside the previous suspicions and take care of him."

Meng Qiucheng knew that he was talking about King Liang, but he couldn't talk about taking care of him.She also knows a thing or two about King Liang, she is narrow-minded, and she must take revenge.If he didn't take the opportunity to retaliate against himself this time, it wouldn't be him.How about taking care of it?

Meng Qiucheng sneered in his heart, and was about to refute, when King Fucheng asked again, "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"

Meng Qiucheng paused, it turned out that the old fox already knew the result.In this way, he probably wanted to protect his only son.Since ancient times, tigers are poisonous and do not eat their children. Presumably he was really forced to have nowhere to go, so he begged himself.

Frowning slightly, she couldn't help but look at him more, "Since the prince understands everything, why bother to ask?"

"Hehe, this king has delusional thoughts in his heart, and he has been working hard for this idea all his life. In the end, the tricks are exhausted, and it is a dream in the end."

"So, my lord, do you still want to fight for the last time?"

King Fucheng smiled wryly and shook his head, "Is there any other choice for this king?"

"I have no choice." Meng Qiucheng said flatly.

"I don't have a choice, but my son still has a choice. Lord Meng, I hope you have a choice too."

Meng Qiucheng didn't understand whether what he meant by his words was a desperate hope or he had other ideas.But he closed his eyes unwilling to say any more, took a deep breath, and waved his hands.

The matter was a foregone conclusion, even if he had other ideas, he still couldn't find the emperor's palm.

Meng Qiucheng sighed inwardly, cupped his hands and saluted, "Your official, I will take my leave!"

Coming out of Prince Fucheng's mansion, Meng Qiucheng didn't go back to the mansion directly, but went to an open space in the suburbs of Beijing.

The snow was quite thick, so Meng Qiucheng chose to walk.The official boots quickly sank into the snow, making a creaking sound as they stepped on it.After walking to an open space, he turned his head and looked around. It was covered in silver, and even the lake in front of him was frozen.

Meng Qiucheng took a few more steps forward until he reached a tombstone on the open space, and reached out to sweep away the snow on it, feeling a pang of guilt in his heart.

Not long after, someone stepped on the thick snow and approached with a creaking sound.

Meng Qiucheng didn't need to look, because there was no one else who would come to this place except Wu Zhaoting.

"Long time?" Wu Zhaoting approached Meng Qiucheng and asked.

"Just arrived!"

"How do you know I'm here?"

"Today I heard that you are going to Fucheng Palace, so I know that the emperor has made a decision, and you have made a decision. I thought that before I left, you must come here, so I will try my luck .”

Meng Qiucheng said with a smile, "When did General Wu know me so well?"

Wu Zhaoting shook his head, "I don't know you at all, it's Luo Ying. When she is with me, she always talks about you. But she is right about one thing, you are indeed a person who values ​​love and righteousness. She probably You know, only by doing this can you stay in your heart forever! Heh, tell me, isn't she stupid!"

"It's stupid!" Meng Qiucheng echoed while touching the cold stone tablet.

"This time the King of Liang was the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, and the emperor specially appointed General Zheng as the commander. General Zheng has experienced hundreds of battles, and he has followed him since the first emperor. Although General Zheng is over half a hundred years old, he still needs to attack the northern Jiang barbarians. He oversaw the battle himself.

The reason why the emperor asked you to be the military supervisor is to better assist General Zheng and win Bei Jiang in one fell swoop.I will follow King Liang and keep an eye on his whereabouts.

In addition, the queen asked me to tell you, don't touch the king of Liang! "

"Then what if King Liang plans to kill me?"

"The queen said, you are a dead man!"

Meng Qiucheng understood half of it, but the other half didn't quite understand, "Is General Wu here today at the order of the queen, or the emperor?"

"Master Meng, it doesn't matter whose life you take. The important thing is that you can save your life. Now everyone is thinking about how to save your life. Luo Ying sacrificed herself to protect you. So, I must let you live, and this is my last promise to Luo Ying."

The wind blew the snowflakes and landed on the shoulders of the two of them, and soon turned into traces of snow water, which slid down the fine fabric.What fell on Meng Qiucheng's fox fur neck guard was quickly absorbed.

When you move your neck a little, you can feel the damp and cold.

The two stood motionless in front of the monument, staring at each other.

After a while, Meng Qiucheng still spoke, "I see!"

Wu Zhaoting nodded, walked around Meng Qiucheng, walked to Luoying's tomb, and bent down to worship, "We will leave the day after tomorrow, so we won't be able to visit you often. Don't worry, I will keep your wishes in mind. What you said , I also keep it in my heart, and I will protect her well."

Wu Zhaoting turned around and glanced at Meng Qiucheng, "Master Meng, go back earlier and get ready!"

Meng Qiucheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Wu."

This time, she had a lot of doubts in her heart, but she couldn't find the answer.The doubts in Fucheng Wang's words, the doubts in Queen's words, and Wu Zhaoting.

Meng Qiucheng took a deep breath and let it out slowly, the white mist melted instantly.

There are always too many complicated people and complicated things in this world, so there are so many intrigues.And she is finally going to stay away from these, and start a new life with Jin Xi.So, she didn't want to think about it.

Perhaps, there is not much difference between good and evil for people in high positions, what they want is what is beneficial to them.Otherwise, her father and those more than 400 innocent people would not have lost their lives in vain.

After all, power is the scariest thing.

The snowflakes gradually subsided, and the sky gradually darkened.Someone at home is waiting to return, and my heart is satisfied.

Looking back at the cold tombstone, Meng Qiucheng said softly, "Thank you!"

When I returned home, the street was already brightly lit.

Occasionally, people who came home late passed by, and they all shrunk their necks, gasped, and said, "This damn weather, it's really cold!"

Meng Qiucheng touched his neck guard, his heart warmed up, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Jin Xi stood outside the door and had been waiting for a long time.It wasn't until he saw Meng Qiucheng's figure that he hurried forward, patted Can Xue off her shoulders, and entered the room to welcome her.

A charcoal stove has been lit in the house for a long time, and it is as warm as spring.

Jin Xi took off her outer robe and neck guard for her, and dragged her into the dining table, "You're hungry!"

Meng Qiucheng nodded, eagerly holding the bowls and chopsticks, wanting to feast on them.But looking at Jin Xi's appearance, this thought suddenly stopped.

She moved closer to Jinxi and asked in a low voice, "Who made this dish today?"

"Of course it's a little girl!"

Meng Qiucheng's hand holding the bowl and chopsticks trembled, almost falling to the ground.

"Little beauty, hehe, it's so hard in this cold weather. But, I'm full today, so let's stop eating!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to get up, but Jin Xi pressed his shoulders and pushed them back to the original position.

"Look at how worried you are! Today the cook cooks this dish, but in the future, when we go elsewhere, you still have to eat my cooking every day. At that time, you can't hide even if you want to."

Meng Qiucheng said with a smile, "Then my stomach has to get used to it slowly, doesn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qiucheng's stomach started to growl.She rubbed her belly in embarrassment, Jin Xi didn't tease her, and picked up a lot of food for her, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!"

"Yeah, you can eat too! I'm really hungry after running all day today."

"Is everything settled?"

"Okay, the deployment of the army, food and grass will be finished tomorrow, and it's time to set off the day after tomorrow."

Jin Xi filled a bowl of soup and brought it in front of her, "Sister Feng and Ah Yu also came to the house to bid farewell today."

Meng Qiucheng put down the bowl, raised his head and said in surprise, "So fast." At the end, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, nodded his head and sighed with a smile, "It's fine to leave, I know Ah Yu's temper very well. If you want to delay, I am afraid that he will follow!"

Jin Xi also smiled, "You didn't see it. A Yu didn't see you today, so he really didn't want to leave. Thanks to Sister Feng, otherwise he would have to wait until tomorrow."

"By the way, did Sister Feng tell me where they are going?"

"She said she was going to the south, and she heard that the scenery there is beautiful. She said that she would notify us as soon as the place was confirmed."

"Well, that's good! When our matter is settled, let's go find them!"

Jin Xi looked at her with a smile, as if no one else could catch her eyes in this world.Then Yingying replied, "Of course it's very good."
