Chapter 494 Will you agree?
When Sun Zhongyuan heard Li Meier say the word "we", he couldn't help frowning again, and then replied as coldly as possible: "I haven't made up my mind yet, Miss Li owes me first."

Li Meier frowned when she heard the words, she never liked to owe others, and that person was Sun Zhongyuan, she would feel even more uncomfortable.

She pondered for a moment, and then said: "Forget it. If one day, Mr. Sun, you make a request that I cannot fulfill, then you are not at a loss. I never like to owe others."

Sun Zhongyuan seemed to have a sullen look on his face, and his tone became a little colder. He stared at Li Meier and said slowly: "Miss Li, you should think about it. You have never been in the palace, so maybe you don't know that there is another famous place in the palace. The place called "Punishment Division" is dedicated to punishing the palace people who made mistakes in the palace, and also to investigate various cases that happened in the palace. The person who died this time was a servant next to the empress, so this case should be punished. He is under the jurisdiction of the Prison Division, and even if he is innocent, he will have to shed a layer of skin when he enters the Prison Division.”

Li Mei'er's heart skipped a beat, just listening to Sun Zhongyuan's description, she could already guess what a terrifying place that prison department is.

But she still pretended to be calm, and said in an unchanged tone: "Shanqing is under the protection of Xu Daru, so he won't be taken to the prison department so easily."

Sun Zhongyuan sneered, and said: "Xu Daru can protect Jiang Shanqing for a while, can he protect him forever?"

Li Meier was dumbfounded for a moment, she didn't know what words to refute.

Seeing Li Meier's obviously worried but pretending stubborn appearance, Sun Zhongyuan finally softened his heart and softened his tone, and said, "You know I won't harm you, so why are you so stubborn? Rescue Jiang Shanqing earlier , you and your family can feel at ease."

Li Meier was silent for a long time, before finally lowering her head, bowed deeply to Sun Zhongyuan, and said in a trembling voice: "My daughter is here to thank Mr. Sun on behalf of my husband. If Mr. Sun can really help my husband out of danger, our husband and wife I will never forget your kindness.”

Sun Zhongyuan heard that Li Meier was left with a "husband" and another "our husband and wife", the stuffy feeling in his heart rose inexplicably, and his tone suddenly became very cold and asked: "Mei'er, if my request is Let your marriage with Jiang Shanqing be annulled, will you agree?"

Li Meier was stunned for a while, lowered her eyelashes, and slowly replied: "Yes, but my daughter will never marry anyone else in this life, even if I have no matchmaker and no employment, I will stay with Brother Shanqing."

As soon as Li Meier said this, Sun Zhongyuan couldn't say anything anymore. He is a smart person, so he naturally knows that love can't be forced, and the twisted melon is not sweet, but he just can't help but want to be stupid once. , from childhood to adulthood, the only girl he had been thinking about and really wanted to marry, he always wanted to fight for one more, maybe his dream would come true.

So when he knew that Jiang Shanqing had been arrested at the wedding banquet, he felt a moment of joy in his heart. He felt that this was an opportunity given to him by God, and he must not miss it.

It's a pity that God didn't favor him after all. The girl in his heart was full of others. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change the result.

Li Mei'er didn't go to see Sun Zhongyuan, and naturally she didn't see the lost emotion in his eyes.

The two of them remained silent for a long time, and Heng Xiang over there got a little impatient, and was ready to come forward to ask.

"That's how it is..." Sun Zhongyuan finally said a word, then turned and left, he walked quickly, as if he couldn't stay in this place for a moment.

At this moment, Li Meier finally raised her head, looking at Sun Zhongyuan's fleeing back in front of her, she couldn't tell what it was like, anyway, she didn't want to do this kind of thing again, the feeling of rejecting people is not so good .

"Miss Li, we have to go to Madam's room quickly, it's getting late." Heng Xiang also came over at this moment, urging Li Mei'er with a somewhat anxious expression.

Li Meier woke up, nodded, and hurriedly followed Hengxiang to Xie's yard.

When they arrived at Mrs. Xie's place, Mrs. Xie was having breakfast with Sun Yaoguang. In order to avoid suspicion, she didn't let the servant girl bring Li Meier in, but instead let the servant girl take her to the side hall to wait, and she also let the servant girl serve a breakfast.

Sun Yaoguang finished his porridge, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said to Mrs. Xie: "I will enter the palace in a while, you don't have to worry, just take a carriage and go slowly."

Mrs. Xie also put down her chopsticks at this moment, and asked her husband with a smile, "Husband, do you want to inquire about the news first?"

Sun Yaoguang nodded, "After one night, I don't know what's going on. I guess His Majesty and Your Majesty are also up now, maybe Jiang Tanhua will be interrogated first. Let's wait for Your Majesty and Your Majesty first." attitude, and then think about how to deal with it in the future.”

Xie listened to her husband's words and wanted to help that Jiang Tanhua, so she thought about it and asked: "Husband, I think this matter is a bit strange, you still..."

Sun Yaoguang naturally knew what his wife wanted to say, so he smiled at her reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure, no matter who is behind this arrangement, I will not get involved."

Only then was Xie relieved, she felt from last night that her husband's attitude was a bit strange, as if he cared about that Jiang Tanhua very much.

Li Meier, who had breakfast in the side hall, was not in the mood to eat at all, but she knew that entering the palace today was going to be a tough battle, so she had to be in the best condition. She didn't sleep well last night, and now You have to be full, otherwise you won't have the strength to help Shanqing brother in a while.

Li Meier forced herself to drink a bowl of porridge, then finished a basket of steamed dumplings and a basket of steamed buns before she put down her chopsticks. Fortunately, the cook at the Earl's Mansion was very skilled. Although she had no appetite, she was still able to eat well. go down.

Not long after she was full, Mrs. Xie came over with her servant girl. She had already changed into the formal attire for entering the palace, looked at Li Meier with a gentle smile and said, "It's getting late, let's enter the palace."

Li Meier nodded, her face was calm, and she didn't show a trace of fear or apprehension.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie had a higher opinion of her. When encountering such a big event, she can still be so calm and calm, which is much better than ordinary ladies.

Together with Mrs. Xie, Li Meier boarded the carriage to the palace.On the way, Mrs. Xie also comforted her, "You don't have to be nervous when you enter the palace. You just look at me and act with my eyes. It's not the first time you've met your empress. You should understand some rules."
