Chapter 185
What the Marquis of Zhennan asked Mrs. Fu to do was that within two to three quarters of an hour after the banquet started, several carts of fine wine from the capital would be delivered to the east side gate of the palace, where Luo Zhongshu, who was the prime minister of Guanglu Temple, would check Receive wine.

When Mrs. Fu heard about it, she led Meng Yue to take a look at Luo Zhongshu from afar.

At this time, the prince will be lured to appear nearby.As soon as the crown prince saw Meng Yue, Mrs. Fu hurriedly took Meng Yue back, and her mission was completed.

The crown prince was already drunk. Seeing the mature and beautiful Meng Yue, Meng Yue looked like Concubine Qu.

Compared with letting the emperor see Meng Yue, Concubine Zhao and others would rather let the prince see.If the crown prince can't control himself and cause a catastrophe, not only will he be able to prevent the emperor from seeing King Ping and Concubine Qu, but it will also hit Cheng Guogong's mansion, and even hit the crown prince.If the emperor is unwilling to bear it any longer, it would be better to abolish the prince directly.

This arrangement can also avoid the Meng family's suspicion of Fu to the greatest extent.Even if they blamed him, Mrs. Fu listened to Cheng Guogong and did bad things with good intentions.She will be punished for being careless, but she will not lose the love of Cheng Guogong and the title of Cheng Guogong's wife...

Fu gritted his teeth in hatred.The old man and the old lady are not dead yet, and Meng Cimo and his wife are trying to catch themselves, so they can't wait to let themselves take this step.His status and good reputation in the Duke's Mansion for so many years may be greatly affected by this incident.

They didn't fulfill their promise, they didn't kill or mutilate Meng Cimo, so why would they let themselves take this risk?
But she dared not do it...

Just as Fu was thinking, Meng Yue walked in with a tray.

"Is mother better? I specially asked the girl to cook some rice porridge, which is refreshing. Mother should drink some."

If she is at home, she will cook porridge by herself.

Fu shook his head and said, "It's disgusting, I don't want to eat it."

Meng Yue put the tray on the table next to the small bed, and persuaded, "There are yams in the porridge, mother, eat less."

She helped Fu Shi up and leaned against the head of the bed, and fed Fu Shi spoonful by spoonful.

Seeing Meng Yue like this, Fu's heart softened.If that happens, she has the status of Heli and is not eligible to enter the palace.However, her grandfather was Meng Ling who fought for the Jinhe Dynasty and was highly respected by the emperor, so the emperor may not necessarily make an exception for the old man.

It's just that she has this face and enters the palace in such a form, neither the emperor nor the empress dowager will welcome her.She is soft-tempered and simple, and I don't know how long she can live there...

But thinking of Zhennanhou's threat, and Meng Cimo who had been against him since childhood, Fu's heart hardened again.

Fu barely drank half a bowl of porridge and pushed the bowl away.

She closed her eyes and said to Meng Yue who was sitting by the bed, "For some reason, my mother is feeling more and more ill, and I don't know how long I can live."

Tears welled up in Meng Yue's eyes, "Mother..."

Mrs. Fu held Meng Yue's hand and said, "Mother knows you are filial, so I just said that. Sigh, you have been kind and simple since you were a child. Among the children, you are the one I worry about the most. This morning, I talked to you Your father talked about your marriage..."

Meng Yue's face was as red as rouge, "Mother, I don't want to marry again, enough is enough."

Mrs. Fu squeezed her hand even tighter, "I know you were frightened. Alas, when you were betrothed to Huang Cheng, my mother took a fancy to his family status, talent, and appearance, and she also asked about his Temperament. Who would have thought that old godmother would be so bad...Because my mother misunderstood, the old man and Ci Mo complained a lot to me, thinking that it was me, the stepmother, who deliberately pushed the stepdaughter into the fire pit..."

Meng Yue hurriedly said, "Mother, I know that you are sincerely doing it for my own good. I have explained it to my grandfather, grandmother, and Ci Mo."

Mrs. Fu sighed, "Is your explanation useful? Don't mention them, even your father has complained about me. It's not good to be a stepmother, I'm really wronged." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she said, "Your father said that Mr. Luo is very good. Jinshi and his younger brother have only one daughter. Although he is a few years older, he will hurt others when he gets older. I heard that his elders are gentle and he has a good temper. Your father asked I'll show you him when I have a chance, if you're satisfied, it's better, if you're not, then mother will be on a mission."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Meng Yue earnestly.

Meng Yue looked down at Fu Shi, bit her lips, and after a moment of contemplation, she raised her head with red eyes and said, "Mother, I promise to think about it. I still don't want to remarry, I just think about it for my mother's sake."

Fu Shiyu said earnestly, "Silly boy, I can't talk enough. If Master Xiao Luo is really good, you can agree. Human life is long. Your father and I are dead, and Xin'er remarried. Say goodbye to Mo and The people Ci Yu cares about most are their wives and children, who can you rely on? You can't let me and your father die, and you won't look down."

Fu's eyes were full of concern, and his tone was soft. Meng Yue was both embarrassed and moved, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She choked up and said, "Mother, I know you love me, I always know."

Fu stretched out his hands to straighten her hair, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, you are the daughter I brought up since childhood, of course I love you..."

The two were talking softly, when a man's voice suddenly came from outside, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has brought wine, at the east gate of the palace. Master Luo is there to hand it over. Let's go and see if we can ask for some to drink."

A few footsteps sounded away.

Fu said with a smile, "Lord Luo is one of the officials in charge of the banquet. They must be Lord Luo. I feel better. Let's go out and have a look at him from a distance. Ruo Yue'er really doesn't like him, Never mind."

Meng Yue blushed, unwilling, "Mother, it's not good."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Before many people get married, both the man and the woman look at each other. It's all kinds of flower feasts, and those unmarried men and women are also allowed to see each other first. We just go out for a walk and take a look at it from a distance. , is a coincidence."

Meng Yue was still unwilling.Lao Guogong, Cheng Guogong, Meng Cimo, and Mrs. Fu all warned her repeatedly that she was absolutely not allowed to approach the palace, and she must not be seen by the emperor.

"Mother, didn't you let me approach that yard?"

Fu smiled and said, "Silly boy, we won't go to the front. Don't say that that person won't come out now, even if he comes out, he will go through the front door."

Meng Yue had no choice but to personally help her put on her clothes, and the two walked out of the tent hand in hand.

The evening after the rain is beautiful.In the west, the sky is full of colorful clouds, which are extremely brilliant, and there are several golden lights in the middle of the clouds.The sky on the other side is a tile blue without a trace of white clouds, as if it has just been washed.

The tents are densely packed with similar shapes, most of them are khaki white, and some are khaki yellow.Fearing that it would be difficult to distinguish, there was a number plate on the lintel.

There were very few pedestrians shuttled between the tents, most of them were servants and patrolling soldiers.

Meng Yue supported Fu Shi's arm, followed by two maids, they picked up a clean place and walked to the back of the palace.
