From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 178 Fang Pingsheng

Doctor Zhou knew that it was a secret that Mei Zhannan was recuperating in the palace, except for him, the emperor and the people around the emperor, almost no one knew.Zhangkou promised: "Okay, but the emperor can't let the emperor know about this, please forgive me, Concubine Rong!"

As an imperial physician in the first week of the imperial hospital, he knew exactly what to say and what not to say.Therefore, in order not to cause trouble, and to save his life, he could only remind him bluntly.

Concubine Rong understood, and said gratefully: "Thank you, don't worry, only you know about this matter, Jianchun knows about it, and there will never be a fourth person. Doctor Zhou, thank you!"

Putting the pulse pillow back into the medicine box, Imperial Physician Zhou stood up and said, "It's not enough to raise one's hand, Madam, rest, I will leave!"

After finishing speaking and saluting, Imperial Physician Zhou bowed and retreated.

Unable to sit still, Mei Linlang signaled Jianchun to let her go and lie down.Jianchun Huiyi immediately pulled the folded quilt on the bed and put it behind her, let her lean on it, then let go of his hands to help her cover the quilt and said: "The emperor said that the mother has suffered all these years, and there are too few people serving in Luomei Palace. Ask Eunuch Qian to pick a new group of people to come in to serve. In addition, Aunt Bizhi was transferred back to be in charge, empress, the emperor still has you in his heart."

If Mei Linlang heard such words eight years ago, she would have been very happy, but now it is not eight years ago, her heart is dead.After disappointment and even despair again and again, he died completely, regretting the beginning.

The sneer was full of self-deprecating, Mei Linlang leaned weakly on the quilt and raised her head and said, "Don't say such stupid things in the future, and I don't want to hear them anymore. You said that Xin'er saved me, how is she now? Did the emperor make things difficult for her?"

No matter how incompetent or useless the prince is, he is his son after all, and it has something to do with the prince. Even if he makes a big mistake, he will not be punished easily.Therefore, she was very worried about Mei Xin, and was also afraid that she would get angry for a while and be overwhelmed.

Jianchun was in contact with the Mei family's secret guards, and knew the news in Prince Liang's mansion clearly, so he reported truthfully: "Missy is wise, and has reached an agreement with the emperor. In order to protect the crown prince, and also to preserve the reputation of the Mei family, the eldest daughter The lady said that the child in her womb was Mei Xiao's. She also said that she was married and Mei Xiao was dead and was a posthumous child."

"Who is Mei Xiao?" Mei Linlang almost blurted out, having never heard of this person's name.

Jianchun asked carefully, and knew who he was from the secret guard, and told her: "It was a member of the Qianfeng Battalion. He died on the battlefield not long ago. He came out of Yiying Hall. It is said that the general once wanted to kill him." The eldest lady pointed it out to him. Empress, there is one strange thing, the eldest lady changed all the soldiers in the mansion as soon as she entered the mansion, and arrested everyone in the mansion."

The commotion was so great that the dark guard sent the news early, but she couldn't figure out why Mei Xin would do this.

She was stunned for a moment, and Mei Linlang said in a daze, "What's the situation, what do you mean they've all been arrested? Something happened at home, isn't it..."

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Jianchun quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, nothing happened at home, everything is normal! I just don't know what happened to the eldest lady, not only the servants were arrested, but the princess was also locked up. ... and the old lady, who threatened to release the princess with death, but the eldest lady refused, and the old lady fainted from anger. However, there is no serious problem!"

Speaking of Mrs. Mei Jianchun, she was a little depressed. After so many years, she hadn't improved at all.People who are so old are forced to die in front of the juniors, and they are not afraid of being laughed at when it spreads, and this old lady in the capital is probably the only one who can do this.

Shocked, she sat up abruptly, Mei Linlang was dumbfounded and said in disbelief, "Prisoned sister-in-law?"

Although she has always disliked Shangguan Xinrou, she is the eldest brother's wife and Mei Xin's biological mother.She had just returned to the mansion, and the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. Why did they lock her up as soon as they met?
"Yes, the dark guard saw it with his own eyes, but he didn't know the inside story, so he didn't dare to guess randomly." Turning his head and glanced at the door, seeing no one, Jianchun leaned forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard from the dark guard that the eldest lady is not She is not a reckless person, and she is very respectful and filial to the princess. Although she has been in Liangzhou for these years, she will send many things back to the princess every year. Based on the concubine's guess, the princess must have done something to apologize to the Mei family or to the princess It's about the general, otherwise the eldest lady wouldn't have locked her up as soon as she returned to the mansion."

"Oh, by the way, there is also Mesichu, the hidden guard said she was locked in a dungeon."

If it was just surprise before, it is undoubtedly shock now. As if struck by lightning, Mei Linlang murmured in disbelief, "Why... how could this happen, how could Xin'er do this?"

The dungeon is not a firewood room, it is a place specially used to punish the government soldiers. Mei Sichu is the third lady of Prince Liang's mansion, no matter how big a mistake she makes, she will not be locked up in the dungeon. Why did Mei Xin do this.

While thinking about it, Bizhi, the girl in charge of Luomei Palace, came in, holding a tray in her hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I haven't eaten any rice since yesterday, so I should be hungry. This servant made a bowl of bird's nest porridge, my Majesty, let's drink it."

After speaking, he put down the tray in his hand and picked up the bowl on the tray.

Jianchun took it with a slight smile and said, "Auntie has worked hard, let me do it!"

Bi Zhi nodded and let go, then looked at Mei Linlang and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent a lot of supplements, do you see..."

She was interrupted by Mei Linlang before she finished speaking, and she leaned on the quilt and closed her eyes and said, "You are an old man in the palace, you can figure out what to do. From now on, I will hand over all the affairs in Luomei Palace to you." For you, just a little, I can't tolerate betrayal."

Bizhi had served her before, so she knew her temper naturally, knelt down and said, "Your servant understands!"

"It's fine to have Jianchun here to serve her, go down!" Although Bizhi served her loyally and wholeheartedly in the past, after all, eight years have passed.People's hearts are separated from each other, and no one knows if she is the same as before.So, take your time and watch carefully.

Feeling that she was in a bad mood, Bizhi didn't say much, and went out after saluting.After the door was closed, Mei Linlang opened her eyes and said with certainty: "Something must have happened at home, otherwise Xin'er wouldn't have made such a big move. Jianchun, I wrote him a letter, and today should be the time. You go out of the palace to see him tomorrow night, and let him find out what happened at home and what Xin'er wants to do."

In troubled times, and her elder brother was unconscious again, she was really afraid that Mei Xin would do something drastic.

Jianchun knew that he was referring to Fang Pingsheng, the former military adviser of the Mei Family Army, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that the master is in Sichuan, is it so soon?"

Mentioning Fang Pingsheng, Mei Linlang felt that it seemed to have happened in her previous life, her heart was bitter and sad, and her intestines were green with regret: "Others may not be so fast, but I believe he has arrived at this moment, and he will go straight as soon as he enters Beijing." Go to Liang Palace."
