The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 177
Looking at the sachet in Mrs. An's hand, a dark light flashed in Li Meiying's eyes, but she said flattered on her face, "Then there is Mrs. An Guogong."

After Li Meiying finished speaking, Yunyu behind her untied the cloak on her body, while Li Meiying raised her arms and waited for Mrs. An Guogong to fasten the sachet around her waist before she put down her arms, And put on the big cloak again, and then entered Anguo Gong's mansion under the guidance of the maidservant.

Li Meiying came to the mourning hall under the guidance of the maidservant, and after offering incense sticks to An Guogong, the Wu family wanted to return the gift, so Li Meiying stepped forward to help Wu Shazi and An Guogong's two concubine sons.

Wu Miaozi's eyes were red from crying, and when she saw Li Sister-in-law, she looked extremely sad: "Thank you, Princess Yao Huang, for sending my father off for the last time, please take a rest for the princess, and when the banquet starts, there will be a maid to lead the princess Go to the feast."

"Dead people cannot be resurrected. Ms. Wu, please mourn." Li Sister-in-law gently patted Wu Miaozi's hand, and said in a gentle tone. After finishing speaking, she naturally let go of Wu Miaozi's hand, and followed the maidservant to the side. Sit in the flower hall.

The servant girl led Li Meiying into the empty flower hall, and then she bowed and explained: "The princess has a noble status, and the eldest lady specially asked the servant girl to arrange a separate flower hall for the princess, so as to prevent some blind people from accidentally bumping into the princess. .” The maid was extremely clever, and while explaining, she had already brewed a cup of tea and served it.

Li Meiying picked up the tea and said with a slight smile: "Your young lady has a heart, you thank her on behalf of me."

The maidservant smiled shyly when she heard the words, and stepped aside, while Li Sister-in-law pretended to look at the layout of the flower hall, and put the teacup in her hand on the table beside her without any trace.

"Sister, the house must be very busy today. We are here to serve the princess. Elder sister, go back to Miss Wu to help!" Seeing the maid's eyes fixed on the tea, Yunyu felt vigilant in her heart. He said with a smile on his face.

Yunyu was chasing people away in disguise, the servant girl's expression changed, she looked at the teacup worriedly, and finally bowed and exited the flower hall.

As soon as the maid left, Qing'er walked to the entrance of the flower hall smartly, seeing that the maid had indeed left, she said to Yunyu: "Sister Yunyu, she is gone."

Yunyu understood, stepped forward to uncover the cup lid, took out a silver needle from her bosom and inserted it into the tea water, when the silver needle was picked up, the color did not change, seeing this Li Meizheng and Yunyu's eyes flashed doubts at the same time,
The tea was fine, but Li Meiying still didn't drink it. She always felt that something would happen during this trip to the An Guogong's mansion. She was afraid of being plotted against. She tried her best not to touch the things here.

After sitting alone and bored for a while, the servant girl who left earlier brought some snacks: "Princess, these are the snacks that the eldest lady ordered the servants to bring. I am afraid that the banquet today will be postponed. Princess, let's use some snacks first." Stomach, so as not to starve the body."

"Let's put it here first, I will use it when I'm hungry." Smiling calmly, Li Sister-in-law seemed to think of something, and asked expectantly: "I wonder if Miss Guo and Miss Mu are here?"

"Miss Guo and Miss Mu haven't arrived yet. If they arrive, do you need a servant to lure the two ladies to the flower hall?" The maid replied cleverly after hearing the words.

"Then when they arrive, I will trouble you to lure them to the flower hall. I'm bored here by myself, and I can chat with people I know well to relieve boredom." Li Sister-in-law said impatiently, obviously she It's really boring to be here alone.

"Yes, I will." The maid saluted and left the flower hall without waiting for anyone to chase her away.

After sitting for a while, Li Sister-in-law felt really bored, and was about to take Yunyu and Qing'er out of the flower hall and go for a walk in the garden, but just as she reached the gate of the flower hall, she heard eager footsteps coming from far and near, Then there was the sound of the door of the side room being pushed open, followed by a very soft conversation.

"Scared me to death, the fourth son is too courageous, even the current emperor dares to plot."

"Useless things, the emperor planted them in the hands of our fourth son, so we have nothing to be afraid of.;"

"Can you not be afraid, that is the emperor, the behavior of the fourth son is tantamount to treason, if you are not careful, you will be executed all over the house, I don't want to die yet!"

"If you say you're useless, you're really useless. The emperor is unconsciously in the hands of our fourth son. Prince Kang is also on his way back to Beijing. Once he returns to the middle of the capital, what more does the emperor need? Prince Kang is also the empress dowager's son, he is the legitimate son, so shouldn't it be natural for his step-brother to take the throne?"

"You're right, the fourth son is so smart, everything is in his plan, what can happen. But the fourth son is really powerful, I don't know where he found someone who looks exactly like the master, even The people with the same voice acted like falling into the water, otherwise there is no way to trick the emperor out of the palace."

"These are not important. What's important is that the poor young miss thinks the master is really dead, and she cries so sadly. She didn't eat all day yesterday. It hurts me to see it."

"Hey, Missy is a person who can't hide her thoughts. If you don't hide it from her, how can you deceive the emperor today? Didn't you see the pain in the emperor's eyes after seeing the sad look of Missy?" Is it a pity? After all, they are cousins, and the bond they grew up with is still there. If Miss Cousin's real sadness had not dispelled the emperor's vigilance, things would not have gone so smoothly in the future."

"Okay, let's stop talking, and quickly send the things that the Fourth Young Master wants."

The conversation stopped, and then there was a clanging sound, as if they were looking for something, and then everything became quiet next door, and then there was the sound of closing the door. Hearing the sound of footsteps going away very quickly, Li Sister had an incredulous expression on her face. Looking at Yunyu, she said after a while: "Yunyu, how much truth did you say about the conversation between the two maidservants just now?"

Yunyu thought for a moment before shaking her head when she heard the words: "I can't judge, but it is a fact that the emperor was not born to the Empress Dowager Wu, and the emperor is obviously indifferent to the Empress Dowager Wu, I think with the temperament of the Empress Dowager Wu, she should not be able to accept it." An uncontrollable person is sitting on the dragon chair, and that person is not her own."

Li Meiying heard the words, thought for a while and said to Yunyu: "You are good at it, follow those two maids quietly, find out where they went and what they did, come back quickly and tell me."

"Yes, I'm going now, servant girl." Yunyu responded, turned around and gave Qing'er a few words, then stepped out of the flower hall and chased in the direction where the two maidservants disappeared.

After about a quarter of an hour, Yunyu turned around with an anxious expression: "Princess, what those two maidservants said is true, the emperor was really captured by Wu Haolong, they bound the emperor with iron chains, probably because they were afraid that the emperor would use his internal force He broke free from the iron chain, so he was handcuffed and anklet on his hands and feet, and many people were sent to guard him."
