The rebirth of the first daughter to chase after the husband

Chapter 32 The Bloody Pigeon

When Meng Jing came to Gongsun Mansion, he happened to meet Lu Chaoyan coming out of the study and returning to his room.

Ye Pu looked at Lu Chaoyan's figure and the rumors he heard when he came back, and said, "My lord, I heard that there is something unclear between this Lord Hou and Miss Shen."

After hearing this, Meng Jing glared at Ye Pu angrily, and scolded, "What? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The gentle eyes disappeared, and there was more anger in the eyes, Ye Pu lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I know my mistake in my humble job."

Meng Jing put his hands on his back and walked straight to the lake in Lu Chuan's backyard.

A row of rockery leans against the lake, and there are a few willow trees by the lake. Lu Chuan sits under the willow trees and plays chess alone.

The maid behind her saw Meng Jing coming, and immediately said, "Master, the king of NATO is here."

Lu Chuan raised his head and saw Meng Jing walking towards him, and immediately stood up to greet him: "Old minister, welcome the lord."

"Exemption." Meng Jing quickly stepped forward to help Lu Chuan, then sat down, looked at the chessboard and said, "I haven't seen the prime minister for a long time. How have you been these years? How is your body?"

"The old minister is in good health. Is it the emperor's intention that the prince will come back this time?" Lu Chuan was also curious as to why Meng Jing would come back at this time, still with Meng Xuan.

Meng Jing didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "It was the king of Zhenbei who said that the father is going to choose a prince, and he needs me to come back."

"Then what does your lord think about this position?" Lu Chuan first wanted to find out whether Meng Jing wanted this position.

After all, Meng Jing traveled a long time ago in order to escape from the imperial power, and never came back even for the emperor's birthday.

But this time, he came back with only a word from Meng Xuan, thinking that he was interested in the crown prince.

"The prime minister thinks that I am suitable to be the prince?" Meng Jing asked Lu Chuan with a smile.

Lu Chuan held a black chess piece, thought for a moment, and landed it very close to Meng Jing, and then said: "Although the prince doesn't care about the court, the choice of the prince is related to the future comfort of the people of the Western Kingdom. Those princes and princes, the old ministers can’t see that they have the appearance of emperors. But the princes are different, the old ministers believe that the princes will be a generation of wise kings that will be passed down through the ages in the future.”

Meng Jing was shocked. He didn't expect to hear such a big evaluation of himself from Lu Chuan. He asked, "I'm afraid the prime minister will be disappointed. I have been away for many years, and I have no clue about the affairs of the court. If I get involved rashly This dispute has really been chosen, what should I do?"

"The old minister will go all out, do his duty faithfully, and help the prince ascend to the throne."

Meng Jing said with some concern: "If I compete for the crown prince, will the Prime Minister stay by my side and become a sharp weapon?"

Lu Chuan couldn't wait to reply: "As long as the prince needs it, the old minister is always there."

Next, Meng Jing opened his heart and said: "When I came back, I saw King Zhenbei. He was calm, thoughtful, and decisive. He stayed in the barracks all year round and had already gained the support of the soldiers. I have been practicing medicine outside, and the gap between this and King Zhenbei cannot be bridged."

Meng Jing knew that Meng Xuan's biggest supporter was his master, Gu Rong. Gu Rong's son was also a general. With the help of these two, he had already won many people to a certain extent.

"The prince has not been in the palace all this time, so this matter needs to be taken slowly. The ministers in the court and the old ministers have also contacted a lot. There are many ministers who are willing to follow the prince. Please rest assured."

Meng Jing then mentioned Lu Chaoyan and asked, "I wonder how Lord Hou is doing now? I wonder if we can see each other?"

When Lu Chaoyan was mentioned, Lu Chuan hesitated a little, and then said: "To be honest, Yan'er doesn't want to get involved in this matter, but for the future of the prince, and as a prince, he must take some responsibilities."

"Prime Minister, I still need to think about this matter carefully. Besides, if Master Hou is unwilling, it's better not to force him." Meng Jing was afraid that pushing Lu Chaoyan into a hurry would backfire.

Besides, I also know the relationship between Lu Chaoyan and Gu Shaoyu, if the two turn against each other, it is not what I want to see.

"Come here, go and call Lord Hou." Lu Chuan wanted to call Lu Chaoyan over to meet Meng Jing, but the servant behind him came back after leaving and said, "Go back to Master, Lord Hou has already left the house."

Meng Jing was a little confused. He saw Lu Chaoyan just now, but now he said it. Could it be that Bai Ji came back to find him?
Lu Chuan was a little embarrassed, and a little sulking. This kid was making things difficult for himself again, and went to look for Gu Shaoyu again.

"I made the prince laugh." The embarrassment on Lu Chuan's face was hard to hide, and he was obviously trying to restrain his anger as much as possible.

Meng Jing persuaded: "If Master Hou is involved in something, the Prime Minister need not be angry. Since the Prime Minister wants to help me, I can meet Master Hou in the future. There is no rush."

Hearing Meng Jing's comfort, Lu Chuan also felt a lot more relieved, and then said: "My lord has just returned to Beijing, and there are many people and things that I don't understand in other places. I will sort out the list of followers of my lord, as well as the recent affairs of the court. Send it to the palace."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Meng Jing played a few games of chess with Lu Chuan, and after talking about many things, they returned to the palace.

Shen House
Shen Lili was packing things in the room, but her eyes were lost in thought.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Xiang Toon asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah? It's okay." Only then did Shen Lili realize that Xiang Toon had returned.

"What does mother say?" These days, Shen Lili has been worried about her mother's affairs, so she asked Xiang Toon to go to her mother's yard to have a look.

Xiang Toon shook his head and said: "Miss, Madam told you to stay in the mansion obediently for the next few days and not go anywhere."

She weakly put down the things in her hands, and then sat on the bed, feeling that things had become more complicated and worse, things that hadn't existed in her previous life were emerging, and Shen Lili couldn't accept it at first.

What Meng Jing said made her suspicious, as if he knew her very well.

"Is father there?" I don't know if my father has noticed the abnormality of my mother.

"Master is accompanying Madam. If Madam is abnormal, Master will not fail to notice." After Xiang Toon packed her things, she could see Shen Lili's expression, and stood behind her, squeezed her shoulders and said, "Miss, you Don't be sad anymore. Maybe the master and wife don't want you to worry, maybe they want to protect you. "

Shen Lili might have believed it before, but now he can't disbelieve anything so easily.

Turning to Xiang Toon, she said, "Keep an eye on Cui Ying, and report immediately if there is any situation."

"The servant understands."

The two were talking, when suddenly a pigeon flew in, hit the bed frame, and landed on Shen Lili's lap.

Pigeon was wounded and a letter was tied to his feet. The two looked at each other suspiciously, then took off the envelope and opened it. It said: See you at the old place tonight.

The accidentally hit pigeons made Shen Lili completely suspect that there was a traitor in Shen's residence, so Xiang Toon put the pigeons into her mother's yard without anyone noticing.
