Wei Yuanqi rested his forehead in thought, the smile gradually disappeared from the corner of his mouth, suddenly, he closed his eyes, stared at Meng Qiucheng and said, "Oh, Meng Qiucheng, Meng Qiucheng, you have learned to figure out my mind first."

Meng Qiucheng said with a smile, "I don't dare, I just want to share the emperor's worries with the emperor's daily affairs."

Wei Yuanqi stretched out his hand and pointed at Meng Qiucheng, "You little fox is not much better than those old foxes. Don't think I don't know, you have read that letter. The signature on the letter is clearly yours. Meng Qiucheng. I never believe that you will hand it over to me intact."

Meng Qiucheng nodded, "Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty is truly wise. I dare not lie to you. I have indeed read the letter, and I can also recite the contents inside."

Wei Yuanqi pretended to be angry and said, "Well, Meng Qiucheng, you read it and resealed the letter to me. Do you think I'm a fool? Don't think that I can't see your cleverness. You just want to see it. , What is my attitude towards this matter? Now I will tell you, thoroughly investigate to the end!"

Because of the thorough investigation of the four words, Meng Qiucheng's face became even more smiling, and he grinned and kowtowed to the emperor, "The emperor is wise, and it is the blessing of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"You, don't rush to pray, I haven't finished yet! This time, I have other arrangements for those who investigate this matter." Wei Yuanqi said to Liu Xi who was beside him, "Let him come in!"

Liu Xi bowed to answer, and shouted, "Tell me, Mr. Shao will see you!"

Not long after, Shao Tong knelt down beside Meng Qiucheng, with a bit of complacent look in his eyes, he glanced over Meng Qiucheng, and then bowed respectfully.

Wei Yuanqi raised his hand, "Excuse me! Shao Aiqing, Zhang Shuli is your mentor, this time I want you to investigate him, are you willing?"

Shao Tong bowed his head and said, "Although Prime Minister Zhang is my mentor, I am only loyal to the emperor and Da Zhou. If the prime minister really has evil intentions, I will never show favoritism."

"Well, I will leave this matter to you. As for Meng Qiucheng, I still have something for you to do. I received the secret security. Fucha Ertai conspired with the Northern Jiang King to rebel, and a large number of Northern Jiang barbarians emerged in Tianhu Pass. They may attack me at any time. I want you to take the princess to Xiliang."

Meng Qiucheng was slightly taken aback, "With the princess?"

Shao Tong's face also turned ugly at this moment, he thought that if Meng Qiucheng was sent away, he and the princess would have more chances to get along.Unexpectedly, the emperor asked the princess to go to Xiliang with Meng Qiucheng.

It's a long way to go, and Meng Qiucheng is a scoundrel, if he disrespects the princess, wouldn't it be.The more Shao Tong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, the princess is a rich man, and the journey to Xiliang is far away, the princess may not be able to bear it."

Wei Yuanqi glanced at Shao Tong coldly, "I've made up my mind, Shao Aiqing only needs to do her own job well."

Shao Tong didn't understand Meng Qiucheng looking at such an aloof King Zhou, but she could.Since the princess did not choose herself, the position of consort was vacant.

Fuchaertai wants to rebel, Zhang Shuli and Fucheng Wang are not good people, internal and external troubles, national strength declines.The only way to win the battle is to tie the Qin and Jin Dynasties with Xiliang and rely on Xiliang's troops.

Meng Qiucheng frowned and stared at Wei Yuanqi, "Does the princess know?"

Wei Yuanqi took a deep look at Meng Qiucheng, "This is An Rong's proposal, and I don't want it, but she insists on it, so I have no choice but to agree."

The princess' proposal?She met Wei Yuanqi's eyes, and suddenly laughed wildly in her heart.The princess also saw the emperor's intentions, and that's why.Because even if the princess doesn't say it, she can't escape such a result!

Coming out of the imperial study room, Shao Tong became even more hostile towards Meng Qiucheng, and said sarcastically, "Master Meng is so lucky to go to Xiliang and be accompanied by the princess. I'm afraid this trip will be regarded as a trip to the mountains and rivers."

Meng Qiucheng paused, and his face was gloomy, "Master Shao, you have always had a grudge against me, and I know it all. I ask myself that I am not a clean official. Master Shao is the master of Qingtian, and he is a good official in the mouth of the people. So Master Shao I can't bear the princess getting close to me.

But the princess is kind to me, but this time I will personally send the princess to a road of no return.Does Mr. Shao think that this official feels better? "

"You, what do you mean?"

"Hmph, what do you mean! Mr. Shao still can't see the emperor's intention to ask the princess to go to Xiliang? Before the country, the princess has no choice. Neither you nor I can interfere with such a choice. Besides, the emperor said, this is also the case. Princess' own choice."

After Meng Qiucheng finished speaking, he stopped talking to him and left angrily.

Shao Tong was left standing in front of the palace gate, finally trying to figure it out.The princess didn't choose Meng Qiucheng, she didn't choose him, but she chose the most pathetic way to be a royal.

Shao Tong looked back at the huge and resplendent palace behind him, and suddenly came to his senses.He wholeheartedly wanted to win the princess's heart. He thought that as long as he was a clean and honest official, as long as he made countless contributions, as long as he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, the princess would look at him more.But he is not even qualified to admire the princess.

Above the imperial power, the princess has no choice.No matter how good he is, he has no way to choose for the princess.

He even regrets it now, regretting that the princess did not really marry Meng Qiucheng.

After leaving the imperial study, Meng Qiucheng did not go back to the mansion, but went to Qinghe Hall.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw Jinxi. Jinxi shook his head quietly at her, and Meng Qiucheng looked sideways behind her.Wei Anrong sat on the seat, tasting the Xiliang delicacies delivered by the imperial dining room.

She didn't raise her head, but just smiled and said, "Master Meng has smelled the delicacy of Xiliang in this palace, and wants to come and taste it too? Although this Xiliang is not as plump as Dazhou's, it is also better than that of Beijiang's wasteland." The beef and mutton in Xiliang are even more tender and delicious. I feel that the taste is not inferior to that of Da Zhou.

This time I went to Xiliang, Mr. Meng didn't have to worry about not getting used to the food there. "

When Meng Qiucheng heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Jin Xi winked at her, and Meng Qiucheng knew very well that she could not change Wei Anrong's decision.And if she mentioned it, it might make people feel even more uncomfortable.

"Jinxi, don't stand still, come and have a taste with Master Meng." Wei Anrong urged.

Jin Xi stepped forward and stood beside Wei Anrong, staring at the delicious food on the table, but couldn't swallow it.

"Princess, is there no other way?" Meng Qiucheng couldn't help asking.

Wei Anrong's hand holding the food froze, and still smiled, "There is always a way, but there is no better one. Now that Mr. Meng has been promoted again, the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger. Then Mr. Meng thinks, what is the difference between now and before? How about a more comfortable time?"

"The minister has always been a rascal, so there is no difference."

"Master Meng, you lied. Although you are a rascal, you don't think so in your heart. Just like me, I want to be a rascal, but the facts are not up to me. What's more, this time the emperor asked me to go Xiliang also didn't express the intention of a marriage, which means that the emperor still has some family affection in mind.

I know, you are worried.Xiliang has proposed marriage many times, and the royal princess is the only one who is suitable for marriage. If I don't go, how can it appear that my great Zhou values ​​Xiliang as a friendly country?Whether to go or not is one thing.This is gone, how to do it is another matter! "

After Wei Anrong finished speaking, he took a small piece of beef and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

Meng Qiucheng felt relieved after hearing this.

With Wei Anrong's words, she knew that this woman would not give in to a marriage.Whether there is a turning point depends entirely on this trip to Xiliang.

After the meal, Jinxi sent Meng Qiucheng to the courtyard, turned around and glanced at Wei Anrong who was still in the hall, "I can see the princess's intentions, you must know."

Meng Qiucheng paused, "So what if I know, so what if I don't know? I have no place in my heart. Should I lie to the princess falsely, or ask the emperor to marry me? If I really do this, it will be a delay." The life of a princess."

"But you shouldn't come today. The emperor has issued an order in the morning. The princess doesn't seem to care, but she cares a lot in her heart. If you come to persuade, the princess will be sad. If you come to visit, the princess will be even more sad.

I always thought that you had a way of coaxing women, but today I realized how unfeeling you are.If you insist on asking questions, you will tear the scars under the light. "

Meng Qiucheng smiled suddenly, "You are kind, and you always protect her. This princess is kind and righteous, and you have known each other since childhood. If you are asked to serve a husband together, I am afraid that you will suffer a disadvantage."

Jin Xi punched Meng Qiucheng in the chest, "You're talking nonsense."

"It was nonsense, but you really hit me." Meng Qiucheng pouted. "Okay, okay. You! You just like to worry about other people's affairs, why don't you think about yourself? Besides, this twisted melon is not sweet. The princess knows in her heart that she will always meet her lover.

This time I went to Xiliang, I don't know when I will be able to return to the palace.The emperor has allocated manpower, and sent a few older nuns to follow.Everyone in Qinghe Hall must stay.

Neither the princess nor I are in the palace, so you really need to be more careful.If something happens, find a way to send a message and tell Ayu.I'll be back as soon as possible too. "

Jin Xi nodded vigorously, "I know, don't worry, I will be careful in everything."

Meng Qiucheng's eyes reflected Jin Xi's appearance, she was very reluctant to give up, but she didn't dare to overdo it.Jin Xi smiled slightly, and Meng Qiucheng also pursed his lips into a smile. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them, and they understood each other's mind in an instant.

The two love each other and share the same mind, that's exactly what it is.

As the sky darkened, Meng Qiucheng hadn't been to the Yanyu Building for a long time.Went there today, and Fang Jue has changed a lot.

The business of Yanyu Building is booming, and Zhenniang is very busy.After exchanging a few words with Meng Qiucheng, he went to greet the guests again.Meng Qiucheng went to Feng Sanfang, knocked on the window, and Ah Yu who was outside the window rolled over and came in.

Feng San deliberately said displeased, "Hey, what kind of wind is this, why did it bring Mr. Meng here?"

Feng San got angry when Meng Qiucheng knew he would not come for a long time.But she also knew that Feng San was definitely not really angry.In front of her, she didn't need to pretend, she took Feng San's hand and said softly, "Sister Feng, there is a strong wind outside, didn't it just blow me here!

I'm going to Xiliang tomorrow, but today I came here specially to say goodbye to you. "

Feng San was suddenly worried, "Leave tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that the emperor is in a hurry. Fuchaertai has already made moves, and Zhang Shuli and King Fucheng are also ready to move. Sister Feng, I'm here today because I have something to ask."

Feng San patted Meng Qiucheng's hand, "Chu Xi often comes to Yanyu Tower to have fun, and I will find a way to get something out of him."

Meng Qiucheng nodded, "Ayu, protect Sister Feng well."

Feng San was taken aback, "Ayu stay here, do you want to go to Xiliang alone?"

"The emperor sent a small team of troops to escort her along the way this time, but these people are old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. The emperor was sure that I was prepared, so he let me escort the princess to Xiliang.

Sister Feng, don't worry, this journey may not be smooth, Master Zhuang will lead people to protect us secretly. "

Only then did Feng San nod in relief.

Meng Qiucheng took Feng San's hand, his face full of worry, "Chu Xi is a real villain, sister Feng can't force her. Regardless of whether there is a result or not, she must wait for me to come back."

Feng San smiled, "You girl, you always have more things on your mind than others."

Luckily, Meng Qiucheng rested her head on Feng San's shoulder. In her heart, she had already regarded Feng San as her own sister, "Sister Feng, I always feel that I am not far from the truth. Maybe I will know when I come back from Xiliang this time. "

Ayu stood aside without speaking, looking at Feng San and Meng Qiucheng, only hoping that the truth would be revealed sooner.

The author has something to say: I think the following direction may be a little abused, what should I do?

Will sweet little readers kill me?

Well, I know, you definitely won't!
