After Shao Tong took Lu Chong into custody, he truthfully reported the private salt incident. The emperor was furious and ordered Shao Tong to investigate the matter thoroughly.The emperor's move made the queen mother quite dissatisfied, and issued three orders in a row, ordering Fucha Ertai to return to Beijing immediately, fearing that it would be too late to prevent changes.

Fuchaertai immediately led [-] elite soldiers and rushed back to Kyoto without stopping.

In the imperial study room, a few candles were flickered by the wind that rushed in from the door.

Wei Yuanqi looked at the letter in his hand and read every word carefully, fearing that there might be any mistakes or omissions.In the end, he couldn't help showing a comfortable smile, lit the letter on the candlestick, and threw it into the charcoal basin.

The one serving beside him is Liu Xi, an old eunuch from the two dynasties. The late emperor was very trusted by the late emperor when he was alive. Now that the emperor has changed to another dynasty, he can still serve by his side. Apart from being cautious and knowing how to advance and retreat, There is one more important point.

That is faithfulness!

Liu Xi is not young anymore, and most of the other eunuchs at his age have retired and returned home.But it is no accident that he is still serving in front of Shengjia.

Liu Xi knew very well in his heart that the reason for the emperor's difficulty in this Great Zhou Kingdom was that he had no real power in his hands.Especially now that the emperor has been established, he is no longer the ignorant and ignorant child back then.Real power is the most urgent and important thing for the emperor.

People in this high position naturally want to hold the power in their own hands.But this right is not so easy to hold.

The empress dowager's party and the prime minister's party both harbor evil intentions.Fucheng Wang is in his heart, but his achievements are so high that it is not a good thing after all.

He bowed and covered the lampshade of the candlestick, with a smile on his respectful face, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should also rest."

Wei Yuanqi nodded, in a good mood. "Liu Xi, do you know that Fuchaertai returned to Beijing with [-] elite soldiers?"

Liu Xi didn't understand the meaning of what he said, so he said vaguely, "The slaves dare not ask about the affairs of the government."

Wei Yuanqi glanced at him with a smile, "I'm afraid you already knew about this, otherwise King Liang wouldn't have taken precautions in advance. Is King Fucheng going back to Beijing too?"

Only then did Liu Xi feel relieved and laughed out loud, "Hehe, you can't hide everything from the emperor!"

"If you want to hide it from me, it's not impossible. Everyone knows how many things are in the open and how many things are in the dark. If you don't want me to know, you will spare no effort to conceal it. Just like the private salt incident, This is the imperial court's malpractice, and this time, it's time to take advantage of this opportunity and rectify it."

"Your majesty is wise, it would be a good thing for the common people if this matter of private salt can be resolved."

Wei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, "Did that girl An Rong do it?"

Liu Xi didn't know when he said it, so he asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty?"

"How did King Fucheng know about Fuchaertai's return to Beijing?"

Liu Xi hurriedly bowed his head, "The princess was worried about the majesty, that's why she made the decision without authorization and sent a letter to King Fucheng. Since the princess is sincere, the emperor must not offend!"

"I want to blame her, but I know what she's thinking, but it's not the time yet. Let's just wait! Oh, by the way, what's the name of An Rong's son-in-law?"

"Back to the emperor, the son-in-law chosen by Princess Jingrong is Meng Qiucheng, the county magistrate of Chang'an."

"Meng Qiucheng? Is this person's identity background someone should investigate carefully?"

Liu Xi showed embarrassment, "The princess has already sent someone to investigate. Although this person's identity is clean, he seems to intend to make friends with King Yong. But this time the private salt incident was exposed, and it was related to him. Mr. Shao It was in front of him that the stolen goods were seized, and the guards of Prince Yong's residence were captured."

"King Yong has always been cunning. If he arrests a guard, he may not be able to make him confess. Whether this Meng Qiucheng is good or bad is not certain. It will always be a disaster to keep such a person by An Rong's side. When this matter is over, Mo To alarm An Rong, try to get rid of it!"

Liu Xihu was a little surprised. The emperor once said that he would not interfere with the princess's marriage, but now this practice seems to be contrary.But after thinking about it, it's not hard to guess.After all, the Chang'an magistrate's official style is extremely bad, and he has no value to use.Perhaps after finding a suitable candidate, his life will be over.

Meng Qiucheng was still lying on the bed at this moment, but he didn't know that the emperor had already moved his mind to kill her.The only reason she can be so comfortable is because she still has a life-saving amulet.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will not take it out easily.

After putting away the silk handkerchief and falling asleep at night, she was thrown into a nightmare.

The dream was full of blood red, she clenched her fists tightly, squeezed the corner of the quilt, frowned, and kept struggling.

With the knife in hand, all the heads rolled down on the ground.

These familiar faces stared at her with eyes that were dying.As if to say, wronged!We died so wrongly!

Meng Qiucheng covered his face and eyes, but the bloodless faces still lingered in his mind.

"Qiu Cheng, you have to live well!"

Meng Qiucheng stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the person in front of him, but before the hand touched him, the person had already gone away.

"Father! Mother! Don't go!" Meng Qiucheng murmured, unable to wake up.

A cock crow woke up the sleeping Chang'an City, Master Zhou stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was still no movement.He looked at the people behind him with some embarrassment, and raised his hand to knock again.

When he knocked, the door opened.

Master Zhou glanced inside, and the people behind him smiled in a low voice.Hearing this smile made people feel chills, Master Zhou was full of wit.

"It seems that Mr. Meng's official airs are getting bigger every time!"

"Princess, my lord was too tired to review the official documents last night, I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet!" Master Zhou whispered.

"Hehe, I still misunderstood this. You guys just wait outside. I want to see how Mr. Meng spends all his sleep and food to fulfill his responsibilities."

Immediately, two guards stretched out their swords, one on the left and the other on the right, and stopped Master Zhou.

Xia Lian, Wei Anrong's personal maid, immediately stepped forward and closed the door tightly, looked down at Master Zhou, and turned her head coldly.

The reason why Wei Anrong dared not avoid suspicion was that this person was already a candidate for the son-in-law.The queen mother will not bother, a corrupt official with no background.

It was the first time for Wei Anrong to go to a strange man's room, even though this strange man was her future son-in-law, she still felt a little uneasy.

Wei Anrong entered the inner room cautiously, looked at the person behind the gauze curtain, and listened to what he was whispering.Any restraint was immediately dispelled by anger.

"Master Meng, why don't you come out and salute after seeing me?"

After talking for a long time, there was still no movement on the bed.

Wei Anrong couldn't stand still, so he stepped forward.After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and lifted the gauze curtain.

With this lift, the person inside suddenly grabbed her hand.Wei Anrong was so scared that he almost cried out.

But when she took a closer look, the man was still asleep with his eyes closed.

"Mother, don't go, don't leave the child alone..."

It turned out to be a dream, Wei Anrong heaved a sigh of relief, and patted his heart in shock.The other hand was still tightly held in Meng Qiucheng's.

"Master Meng!" Wei Anrong's icy tone was somewhat cool.

"The child will be good, and the child will never make mother angry again..." Meng Qiucheng put his hand on his face ravingly.

Wei Anrong suppressed his anger, raised his eyebrows and stared at this person, not knowing what to do for a while.I had to shout again, "Lord Meng!"

Meng Qiucheng fell into a nightmare, her hair was already wet with sweat, she seemed to hear someone calling her, but she couldn't wake up no matter what.

Wei Anrong wanted to forcefully break her hand away, but the more he broke it, the tighter the man's grip became.

Originally, I came to ask him about private salt, but I didn't expect it to become like this.She sat helplessly by the bed and stared at the person on the bed carefully.

It was the first time to look at a man like this, but she found that the unknown man in front of her was not like an ordinary man.His face is thin and clean, without any stubble.Under the tall bridge of the nose, the thin lips are a little white.

Looking carefully, this life is not ugly, but the more you look at it, the easier it is to be fascinated.

Wei Anrong came back to his senses and coughed lightly.But looking at this man's appearance, she suddenly stretched out her hand to try his forehead out of nowhere, but she didn't expect it to be feverish.

Wei Anrong called out, "Xia Lian, come in!"

Xia Lian hurriedly opened the door and entered, and saw Meng Qiucheng holding the hand of her own princess.

Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she bowed in front of Wei Anrong, "Princess!"

"Go ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come and show him."

Xia Lian opened her mouth in surprise, and nodded after a while, "Yes, princess!"

Finally, Meng Qiucheng became quieter and let go, Wei Anrong took advantage of the situation and pulled the corner of his quilt up.

With a snap, something fell out from under the pillow.

Wei Anrong bent over to pick it up, and a different emotion suddenly appeared in his eyes.

No wonder she couldn't find the golden fork even when she searched for it that day. It turned out that this person picked it up.His cold eyes seemed to soften a bit, looking at the person on the bed, he put the golden fork under the pillow again.

After a while, Meng Qiucheng's eyelids moved slightly, and he finally woke up.

Opening his eyes, he saw Wei Anrong standing in front of him, grabbing the quilt in panic and wrapping himself tightly.

"My lord, princess, why are you here! Master Zhou, the princess is here, why didn't you report it!"

Master Zhou stood outside the door with an innocent face.

Wei Anrong sneered, "Master Meng, don't blame Mr. Zhou, he called Mr. Meng for a long time, but Mr. Meng has been in a coma all the time. He is still holding on to Bengong's hand, it's really courageous!"

Meng Qiucheng wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, but he was only wearing underwear and dared not move.He had no choice but to hug the quilt and whisper, "Your official has no intention of offending the princess, and I ask the princess to make amends!"

"Master Meng is sick, and I am not an unreasonable person. I came to see you today because I have something important to ask. Since Master Meng is awake, I should go outside and wait."

After finishing speaking, Wei Anrong stood up, looked down at the way Meng Qiucheng wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and sneered, "Master Meng, please don't keep me waiting!"

Meng Qiucheng nodded nervously, fearing that the princess would see through his identity.
