Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 608 Multi-pronged plans! (5)
"Mother and Concubine's worries are not unreasonable. However, this is beyond our control. If Xu Zhijian's family really wants to betray the Xu family and seek refuge with the Zhao family, then it is beyond our ability to interfere. If we die, we will not be able to control it." You can’t blame anyone else.”

Qian Xia was slightly stunned, "Do you know what they might be doing?"

Mu Liunian shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, let's wait and see. Anyway, they can't do anything this New Year's Eve. Now that Fang's family is subdued by me, and Prince Li has made it clear that he will support Sangqiu Zirui, the only thing left is Whether the Liu family in Luanhe and the Zhao family in Fuyang are truly loyal to the emperor, or not."

"The Mei family has collapsed, but the minions and forces of the Mei family are still there. We should not underestimate them. Do you still remember the girl from the Mei family who haunted Anyang City?"

"Of course. I've already found out about her. She's the daughter of the Mei family, Mei Yuning. She's been doing well now. To be more precise, the entire Mei family is doing well. Maybe they're waiting for an opportunity. Even if the First Prince is gone, they will not be willing to see the Second Prince take that position."

Suddenly, Qian Xia's heart skipped a beat, and an extremely bad premonition surged up immediately, and then she turned to Mu Liunian with some questioning eyes.

Mu Liunian knew that she probably guessed something, although he didn't want to admit it, but he knew that with Qian Xia's cleverness, it was impossible to hide it.

"You guessed right. Sooner or later, the emperor will reuse the Mei family. For the sake of the fourth prince, he will not just watch the family that he raised with his own hands die."

"There is no eldest prince, and the Mei family and the Sanqiu family are at odds. If the Mei family wants to make a comeback, they can only choose to rely on the emperor and continue to be the marionette in the emperor's hands, right?"

Mu Liunian nodded, "This is the benefit of power."

Qian Xia was a little disappointed immediately, "In this way, the Mei family will flourish again after all, so isn't everything we have done before all in vain?"

"How come? The emperor will continue to use the Mei family, but it doesn't mean that the trust in the Mei family will remain the same. Just wait and see, the Mei family will pay an extremely heavy price for this."

Qian Xia expressed her puzzlement, but on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, when the emperor announced the suspension of the court, a decree came from the palace.

The emperor decreed that Mei Qianshao, the third son of the Mei family, would enter the palace as the companion of the fourth prince. At the same time, Mei Qianyin, the second daughter of the Mei family, was canonized as the head of the county and married to the eldest son of the minister of Dali Temple.

Zhao Shuang, Minister of Dali Temple, is the head of the Fuyang Zhao family.

As soon as the news came out, almost the entire Liangcheng was in a state of eruption.

The Mei family, which had been neglected by the emperor for so long, turned out to be bustling and bustling again.

Although Mei Yuanyao is still unemployed at home, but the son was announced to the palace as a companion, and the daughter was granted the marriage gift of the county lord, which is enough to show that the emperor's favor to the Mei family is still there.

I am afraid that after the new year, Mei Yuanyao will be active in the court again.

Sangqiu Zirui remained indifferent to such news.

Although the second prince was in a hurry, there was nothing he could do. He visited Sangqiu Zirui several times, but he closed the door and disappeared.

There is no good way for the queen. What the queen can do now is to try her best to win over Concubine Hua. You know, she is the daughter of the Zhao family.She herself may not be of much importance, but the little prince under her knee is an extremely useful pawn.

Qian Xia didn't pay special attention to these, because she knew that the situation in the court was changing rapidly, and no one could predict what the coming year would be like.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, according to the rules, Mu Liunian accompanied Qian Xia back to Yun's house.

After drinking and eating, Mu Liunian accompanied Qian Xia to take a nap in her previous yard.

Mu Liunian patted her on the back lightly until she was completely asleep, then carefully moved her body, then tiptoed out of the room, stretched her waist, and said coldly, "Come out, why is it so urgent?" ?”

Mu Liunian was a little displeased with the behavior of the person who had just arrived that alarmed Qian Xia, so his tone of voice was a little bit colder.

It was Qinglong who came, "Master, something happened to Lu Xiaoxiao."

"what's up?"

"Lu Xiaoxiao disappeared last night. The people sent by her subordinates did not find out who took her away. But the only thing that is certain is that she did not leave the capital."

Mu Liunian's eyes darkened, and the aura of his whole body suddenly became a bit cold, "Look for it! You have to dig three feet to find it."

"Yes."

"How can you be sure you haven't left the capital?"

"After Mr. Hui's subordinates found out that Lu Xiaoxiao was missing, they quickly sent people to guard the city gates. It was night, and Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know martial arts. If he was taken away, it would be impossible to climb over the city walls. .”

Mu Liunian nodded, "This time I lost sight of it, who is guarding it?"

"Young Master Hui, he is a member of Suzaku's sect."

"Withdraw it and send it to Qilin Mountain for intensive training for three months, then come see me again."

"Yes, son."

"How is Suzaku in Cangming? Is there any news?"

"Returning to Young Master, everything is normal and smooth. Suzaku did not conflict with Huangfu Dingtao's people, and he has never even met. However, I heard that he has the trust of the emperor and the prince in Cangming."

"Well, let Suzaku tell Suzaku again, don't get into conflict with any dignitaries, and when necessary, give up some money. As long as it can be settled with money, it's nothing to worry about. No way. Small things lose big."

"Yes, my lord. It's not the first time Suzaku has done something like this, so you can rest assured, lord."

Mu Liunian nodded and waved his hands, "Go ahead. Don't alarm the Shizi Concubine about Lu Qianxiao's disappearance. She is pregnant now, so it's not appropriate to worry about it."

"Yes, son, this subordinate understands."

Mu Liunian breathed his breath outside for a while, and then ordered Sanqi to invite the three brothers from the Yun family over. There are some things that need to be prepared early.

"Ruoqi, you are in charge of some secret forces in the Yun family. I just want to ask you, how is your power in the capital?"

"What are your orders?"

"Looking for someone." Simple and clear.

"Although the power of the Yun family in the capital is not as powerful as that of Changping Palace, I believe it is not inferior to other families." Yun Ruoqi said confidently.

"Okay, then I will trouble you to find someone."

Hearing that it was Lu Xiaoxiao who he was looking for, the three brothers of the Yun family were still a little surprised. However, knowing that this Lu Xiaoxiao had contacts with Princess Songbao and had intended to harm Qianxia, ​​the three still hated him. He cursed a few words in hatred.

Mu Liunian originally thought that Lu Xiaoxiao was not threatening, but now he was able to disappear under his nose, which shows the strength behind his master.
