The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 137 The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Disturbance 3
The eldest princess saw her beloved daughter fell to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. She wanted to reprimand Yunyu, but when she saw Shangwei Jinyang's cold eyes, she swallowed her words.

Wei Jinyang stepped forward and took Li Meiying's hand naturally, then looked at the eldest princess and said, "Auntie, I respect you as an elder, and I don't care about today's affairs with you. You won’t be indulged lightly, so do it yourself!”

After Wei Jinyang finished speaking, he took Li Meiying to stride away. Li Meiying couldn't break away from Wei Jinyang's big hand, so he could only let him pull her away until she was far away. Unable to see, Li Sister-in-law reprimanded in a low voice: "Let go of me, gossip like this, let others see, maybe some gossip will come out tomorrow."

After all, he couldn't bear to let her be negatively affected, Wei Jinyang reluctantly let go of her soft and boneless little hand and said: "I have something to tell you, you can find a suitable place to talk about it!"

"Go back to the Peony Pavilion!" Without responding to Wei Jinyang's words or driving him away, Li Sister-in-law only said to Yunyu.

Yunyu understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Meiying's hand, and said to Wei Jinyang: "The princess has booked a box in Yumei Pavilion, if His Royal Highness doesn't mind, go to the box with the princess and have a cup of tea. Taste the new dim sum from Yumeiyuan!"

Hearing this, Wei Jinyang glanced at Yunyu gratefully, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, today I am the one who is honored by your princess."

The three of them returned to the Peony Pavilion. Mo Shu saw that Wei Jinyang was also coming back together, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he saluted calmly: "Greetings to His Royal Highness, best wishes to His Royal Highness."

Qing'er on the side was a little afraid to face Wei Jinyang, but now it was impossible to escape, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and salute with Mo Shu: "Greetings to His Royal Highness, all blessings to His Royal Highness."

Wei Jinyang didn't pay too much attention to Qing'er, he just said lightly to Mo Shu: "Let's all be free from courtesy!" After speaking, he sat down opposite Li Sister, and Yunyu had already After brewing a cup of tea and serving it, Wei Jinyang took a sip, and then said to Li Sister-in-law without hesitation: "I just received a secret letter, Xijiang mobilized troops to capture Saigon City, and the queen spoke to the emperor, It is recommended that the five emperors lead troops to Saigon City to quell the chaos."

Li Meiying was shocked when she heard the words. Not long ago, she learned that the Wu family had colluded with Xijiang in private, and Wei Haoyou made the decision to return to Xijiang. Xijiang attacked Saigon City, And the news of the capture of the city came back. I am afraid that Wei Haoyou will lead his troops to Saigon to quell the chaos in the near future. Thinking of this, a bold idea flashed in Li Meizhen's mind: "Why did you tell me this news? Do you want me to take action to stop the Fifth Prince from leading the army?"

"No!" Wei Jinyang quickly denied, feeling that he was overreacting, he took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "I tell you this, just to hope that you know the latest situation of the queen, as for the fifth prince leading the army I will not stop the matter. The people in Xijiang are afraid of Wu Huangdi's military ability. Hearing that Wu Huangdi leads the army, he will definitely abandon the city and retreat to Xijiang. He can take back the city without using a single soldier. Why not do it , I don’t want the common people in Saigon to suffer from the scourge of war again.”

"You worry about the world and put the people first. I have nothing to say. I hope you won't regret this decision you made in the future." Sighing, Li Sister-in-law pointed out something, and she had to admit, Wei Jinyang is indeed a very qualified prince, no wonder Wei Chengzhi values ​​him so much.

Hearing what Li Meiying said, Wei Jinyang frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he tentatively asked: "Do you know something, why would you say such a thing?"

Li Meizhen does not intend to tell Wei Jinyang that she let Yunyu eavesdrop on Wei Haoyou's words. If she doesn't remind Wei Jinyang, she can't do it. At present, she must guarantee Wei Jinyang's absolute power to dominate everything, so why don't she reveal it? The clue's reminder became the key point.

"I just want to ask you, how much do you know about the fifth prince?" After a long time, Li Sister seemed to have found an entry point.

Hearing the words, Wei Jinyang was startled at first, then seemed to think of something, he smiled wryly and said: "My son, you are really amazing, I have spent a lot of effort to understand the person, you have such a short time, and there is not much intersection. I really admire him for seeing through his essence under the circumstances.”

When Li Meizhen heard this, she laughed at herself and said, "You think highly of me. I don't know anything about the fifth prince. The reason why I know he is a person who uses whatever means to achieve his goals is thanks to my cousin for reminding me." .”

Wei Jinyang naturally knew that the cousin Li Meiying was talking about was Wei Xuanjin, the heir son of the Prince of Jiangning. : "After all, we are brothers. No matter how unscrupulous he is, he will not do anything to his elder brother. I still have this confidence."

Li Meiying heard the words and tried to persuade, but only opened her mouth. When her eyes met Shang Wei Jinyang's affectionate eyes, she realized that she was showing too much concern. In the end, she didn't say anything, but she had a decision in her heart .

In the imperial study room, after repeated consideration, Emperor Cheng finally decided to let the fifth prince lead the troops to Saigon to quell the chaos. When he was preparing the imperial decree and was about to let Eunuch Zhang go to the fifth prince's mansion to announce the decree, a servant hurried into the imperial study room and knelt down Said: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. Prime Minister Zhong sent someone to report that the fifth prince and his entourage were eating in Jinyu Mantang, and they got food poisoning together.

Emperor Cheng was shocked to hear the news, got up quickly and said, "Jin Yu Man Tang had a food poisoning incident, why did he go to Jin Yu Man Tang for dinner, did he lose his mind?"

Eunuch Zhang watched from the side, hurriedly picked up the tea and handed it to Emperor Cheng, and comforted him softly: "Your Majesty calm down first, now the important thing is to find out the situation of the Fifth Prince, as the commander, if he has something, I'm afraid The morale of the army will be in chaos."

After being reminded by Eunuch Zhang, Emperor Cheng calmed down, and he hurriedly said to the servant next to him: "If you go to inquire again, you must inquire about the fifth prince's situation. In addition, this matter must be kept secret, and the empress will temporarily hide it." on."

The waiter made a promise, and hurriedly exited the imperial study, but Chengdi's order was still a bit late, and the queen heard the news, not only that, even in the middle of the capital, the food poisoning of the fifth prince was spread, and the incident suddenly exploded It was out of control, and Emperor Cheng was furious about it. At this moment, Prime Minister Zhong found out the truth about food poisoning. The queen was worried about the safety of the fifth prince, so she no longer cared about the life and death of Duke An, and rejected Mrs. Ango many times. Outside the palace gate.

While Li Meizhen took advantage of Empress Wu's focus on the fifth prince, she ordered Xueyin to send a secret letter to Xijiang in the name of Empress Wu, asking them to withdraw from Saigon because the fifth prince was in danger of being poisoned. .
