The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 141 Hot Potatoes
When Empress Wu heard the words, she smiled coldly: "Don't get complacent too early, the emperor is shrewd, I'm afraid that this time the big brother will not take over such a good job!"

When Madam An Guogong heard this, the smile on her face froze. After a while, she forced a smile on her face again and said, "Empress Empress, what do you mean? It was His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince who led the troops to Saigon for reinforcements. But the uncle of His Highness the Fifth Prince, could it be that the Fifth Prince will harm the Duke?"

Empress Wu heard the words, looked up at Mrs. An Guogong, and hated that iron could not be made into steel: "It's just that big brother led the troops to reinforce Saigon. It's just a big deal, so I forget you with joy. Your Majesty is such a shrewd person, so good The military power that is easy to take back, will it be easily returned to the eldest brother! Don't use your brain to think about it, a good thing will be the turn of the eldest brother who has been idle at home for a long time and is not liked by the emperor!"

The queen's words were like a basin of cold water, which drenched Mrs. An's heart, the smile on her face could no longer be held, replaced by worry and anxiety: "Empress, is it really so serious? Now the emperor has made a decision, I'm afraid that if the Duke doesn't want to pick up this hot potato, it won't work, so what should I do?"

Seeing Mrs. An Guogong who had lost her mind, Empress Wu shook her head in disappointment and said, "Go back and tell elder brother that the emperor will not easily let him regain military power. When I meet the emperor tomorrow, I will think too much about everything, and I am not sure." Don't promise things, lest the gain outweigh the loss."

Mrs. An Guogong hurriedly responded. Although she felt that Empress Wu was too cautious, she did not dare to refute. After leaving the palace and returning to An Guogong's mansion, she did not dare to hide Empress Wu's confession. When Eunuch Zhang conveyed it, Empress Wu confessed He told An Guogong word by word, and An Guogong went to the study alone, and didn't step out of the study until dinner. At the same time, the worry on his face disappeared, replaced by a kind of high spirits.

On the second day, after all the ministers came down to court, An Guogong entered the imperial study to meet Emperor Cheng. No one knew what Chengdi and An Guogong talked about. Everyone only saw that when An Guogong left the imperial study, his face was never changed. too dignified.

After Li Meizhen received the news that An Guogong led the troops to support Saigon, she did not take any action to obstruct it, but it was because An Guogong led the troops so smoothly that Empress Wu was always faintly uneasy.

After lunch at noon, Li Sister-in-law was taking a walk in the garden to digest food. A maid came to report that Wei Jinyang had arrived. She smiled faintly and ordered the maid to invite Wei Jinyang to the flower hall, while she walked in the garden for a while Zhong, and then took Yunyu and Qing'er to the flower hall in a leisurely manner.

In the flower hall, Wei Jinyang was drinking tea with a teacup, while Mo Shu was quietly waiting aside, when he suddenly heard the maidservant's voice of greeting from outside the flower hall, Mo Shu hurriedly opened the door curtain, and welcomed Li Meiying into the flower hall.

Today's Wei Jinyang is wearing a deep purple cricket dragon pattern robe, a jade belt around his waist, and his jet-black hair tied in a purple gold crown. Although his attire is the same as usual, Li Sister-in-law always feels that today's Wei Jinyang looked a little different, but she couldn't tell what was the difference.

Hearing the movement, Wei Jinyang put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Li Meiying carefully with his dark and deep eyes with tenderness. Today, she is still wearing the most common bun with clouds, and there is not too much hair on the bun. Wearing a light purple cross-neck collar embroidered with folded plum blossoms, and a crescent white pleated skirt with light red blossoming plum blossoms embroidered on the skirt.

"Xiao'er, this purple jacket is really pretty, and only you can wear it elegantly." Wei Jinyang looked at her light purple jacket, and his handsome eyes looked at his dark purple sleeves , he smiled with ulterior motives.

Li Meizhen didn't think about Wei Jinyang's words, she only thought about how she could get his blood sample and not be suspected by him when Wei Jinyang came to the door by himself.

On the other hand, Mo Shu immediately heard the deep meaning in Wei Jinyang's words. Looking at the two people, both in appearance and temperament, they are a perfect match. For some reason, an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart. Come on weird.

Yunyu on the side looked at the two people who were on the right side, and a look of anticipation quietly flashed in her lowered eyes.On the other hand, Qing'er looked at Wei Jinyang and then at Yunyu, her eyes still confused.

"You came to my house at this time, probably not just to compliment my clothes!" Sitting down opposite him, Li Meiying said indifferently.

"Last time I met some people I didn't want to see in Yumei Garden, which even affected my mood of enjoying chrysanthemums. You must have never seen Jasper Chrysanthemums. I am here today to invite you to go to Yumei Garden to enjoy chrysanthemums. Yes, I just don’t know if you’ll appreciate it or not.” Wei Jinyang had thought about the reason a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn’t have entered through the main entrance in a panic.Breaking through the window into her boudoir is usually used when there is no reason to see her.

Li Meizhen did not expect that Wei Jinyang would invite her to appreciate the chrysanthemum at this juncture. If he is really not Wu's biological son, An Guogong's power will still have some influence on him. He should be very concerned about it, but now If he has time to appreciate chrysanthemums, doesn't he have the slightest sense of crisis?

"An Guogong led troops to reinforce Saigon, what's your opinion on this matter?" Avoiding Wei Jinyang's expectant eyes, Li Meiying asked irrelevantly.

"Everything is under your control. It doesn't matter what I think. The important thing is that I stand still, but I don't want to affect the situation you have worked so hard to set up." Wei Jinyang replied seriously with the smile on his face .

Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Li Meiying's eyes, she raised her eyebrows, and suddenly became interested: "Oh, so, what I will do next is within your expectations!"

"I'm a human, not a god, and I don't have the ability to predict. How could I know your plan? I just believe that you will make An Guogong busy." With a smile on his face again, Wei Jinyang seemed to be joking. opened the mouth.

Having said this, there is no point in talking any further, Li Sister-in-law had an inexplicable smile on her face, she tilted her head and told Yunyu, "Go get my cloak."

Knowing what Li Meiying said, Yunyu agreed to Wei Jinyang's invitation, quickly took the cloak on the side and tied it on Li Meiying, and asked softly: "Princess, when you go out this time, you are still a slave, Aunt Mo , Is Qing'er accompanying you?"

Li Meiying heard the words, thought for a while and said, "Aunt Mo is inseparable from everything in the house, you and Qing'er can go with you."

So two gorgeous carriages set off from Princess Yingsu's mansion and headed for Yumei Garden.When they arrived at Yumei Garden, Li Sister-in-law knew that Wei Jinyang had taken over the entire Yumei Garden in order to prevent being disturbed. Today, the only guests in Yumei Garden were her and Wei Jinyang.

"You have always been frugal, but now you are enjoying a chrysanthemum, but now you spend a lot of money to cover the entire Yumei Garden. Do you want to find something for those speech officials with pens?" sneered.
