Chapter 257 The Truth 4
Seeing the pair of Bi people in front of her, Shen Mengqi's expression was indifferent, and one thing she said was: "How long is the regent planning to keep me shut? Are you planning to coerce the emperor to order the princes?"

Looking at Shen Mengqi who was pretending to be calm, Lin Jihan smiled, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never take your position. After you have recovered, this king will return this country to you."

"Is the country of Tianyuan Kingdom still peaceful now?"

Regarding this, Lin Jihan did not answer, he said: "Today I just sent your sister here to talk with you, not to talk about state affairs, and I will leave when she is delivered."

After finishing speaking, Lin Jihan didn't give Shen Mengqi a chance to speak, turned around and left, leaving only Shen Qingning staring at her.

Shen Qingning looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "The Prince Regent invites you, Ding'an dare not refuse, please forgive me, Your Majesty the Empress."

Shen Mengqi smiled, "Princess Ding'an and I have the same reason and connection. I am very happy that you can come. There is a West Lake Dragon Well in the palace. Princess Ding'an might as well come in and taste it, and see if the taste is the same as before."

Shen Qingning was taken aback for a moment, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect Her Majesty to still remember this little hobby of my minister."

"After all, you are the only blood relative I have."

Shen Mengqi and Shen Qingning looked at each other and smiled, all the past and the past disappeared in this conversation and laughter.

Entering Jingtai Palace, looking at the same layout as back then, Shen Qingning's heart ached, this place was Shen Mengqi's lifelong wound, a lifetime of pain.

"Hasn't Her Majesty the Queen changed the layout of this room?"

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. When you look back after many years, you will find that although this is the beginning of pain, it is also the end of pain. There will always be such a place that will remind you all the time, how did you go all these years?" It’s actually pretty good to come.”

With that said, Shen Mengqi took out the cup of West Lake Longjing from the plate Luo Jiuqing was holding and handed it to Shen Qingning, "How are you and the regent?"

"What does Her Majesty think of us?"

Shen Qingning's rhetorical question caused Shen Mengqi to slap her hands, yes, what does she want?
"Family harmony and everything prospers. Only with family harmony can the regent have more energy to assist the government. I naturally hope that you and your husband will be of the same mind and raise your eyebrows together."

Shen Qingning said mercilessly: "Your Majesty, you are lying. You have been lying since you were a child. Whenever you lie, you will make small movements with your left hand. Even if you can correct it, there are still traces."

"This is also the reason why Uncle Huang and Grandmother Huang can guess correctly every time and understand you thoroughly."

"That's right, no wonder." Shen Mengqi smiled indifferently, "I lied, but my blessing is true."

She changed the subject and said, "Why did the Prince Regent call you here?"

"To understand the knot in your heart."

Shen Mengqi paused when she sat down, she looked at Shen Qingning and said, "My knot?"

Shen Qingning nodded, she looked at Shen Mengqi and said: "Actually, although the prince accepted me, he has never consummated the marriage with me. To be precise, he has never touched any woman or man except you."

"He married me because he wanted to annoy you. Who told him that he thought you were more concerned about your uncle Luo Bufan."

Hearing Shen Qingning say that Lin Jihan had never touched her before, she couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, and even a little happy. She couldn't help thinking in her heart, is this the feeling that Luo Jiuqing said she liked? ?
Do you feel happy because you know that the person you like is always only with each other like yourself?

Seeing that Shen Mengqi's brows stretched a little, Shen Qingning also laughed, and she continued to explain: "I live in the same room as me, but they always knock me out and ask Ye Wei to come in and watch. Actually, I know everything about it." Yes. I didn’t say it because the queen mother didn’t ask me to report to her when I encountered such a thing, but now I say it because I hope you don’t make yourself so tired.”

Shen Qingning grabbed Shen Mengqi's hand as if she was a child, and she said earnestly: "Uncle Huang is right, it's rare to meet someone I like, and he also likes you, but you must hurry up and sit down." In this supreme position, you are doomed to be alone. It is such a blessing to have someone who loves you sincerely."

"The emperor's grandmother is too arbitrary. She believes that the emperor cannot have emotions and desires, but she forgot that the emperor is also a human being."

Shen Mengqi's eyes darkened, "But now that we have come to this field, even if I go to find him, will that person really be the same person as before?"

Looking at Shen Mengqi who was full of confusion and a little panic, Shen Qingning said: "If he wasn't, he wouldn't have brought me here today."

"I know you are still hesitant, but Mengqi, don't forget that the person who rescued you from the abyss was also the one who pushed you into the abyss with his own hands, so you don't owe her anything. She is a good empress dowager to Tianyuan Kingdom, she should The name goes down in history, but she is not a royal grandmother. The death of the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother was actually prepared by her long ago."

"what?"

Shen Mengqi only felt a dull pain in her heart, she tried not to show it, and after taking a few breaths, she continued: "That is the flesh and blood of the emperor's grandmother!"

"The random flowers are becoming more and more charming. When the imperial grandmother decided to use the elder brother, the second elder brother, and the third elder brother to cover you, the real chosen heir to the throne, she was no longer our imperial grandmother, but The Empress Dowager of Tianyuan Kingdom."

"She knew about it a week before the palace change, and made arrangements. She expected that if something happened in Mobei, the second and third brothers would go to the battlefield in person, so she sent people to ambush in Linchuan early in the morning. As soon as the second and third brothers arrived, they were arrested by the First Prince's lieutenant and taken to Mobei, and Linchuan was slaughtered by the Queen Mother's order."

"Not impossible." Shen Mengqi clenched her teeth, her face as pale as a piece of white paper.

Shen Qingning knew that it was difficult for her to accept, but she continued to speak bravely. After all, only by letting her know the truth, could she completely get rid of her guilt towards the queen mother and the emperor.

"The queen mother's original words are that the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince must all die. Only by cutting off her following and thoughts can she be ruthless and a good emperor who acts resolutely. If you understood the importance of guarding the gate, then the people of Linchuan would have deserved their death."

"For Tianyuan Kingdom, for the foundation established by Huang Taizu, these sacrifices are necessary."

After Shen Qingning finished speaking, she found that Shen Mengqi's eyes were full of tears, "I don't believe it, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, it's not true!"

As she said that, Shen Mengqi felt as if her heart was about to burst. After she screamed, she passed out directly.

"Meng Qi!"

"Your Majesty the Queen!"

The exclamation instantly resounded throughout Jingtai Palace.
