The First Daughter Reborn: The Snake Queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 168 The Disaster of the Meng Family (2)

"The Empress, the Crown Princess, please see me."

Eunuch Yan, who was guarding the door, came to Fengluan Hall and said to the queen who was lying on the bed, the queen closed her eyes and heard Eunuch Yan's report, then slowly opened her eyes and said, "Let her in. "

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

Eunuch Yan retreated immediately, and after a while Meng Yiwan walked in alone, came in front of the empress, obediently bowed to the empress and said: "Daughter-in-law sees the empress."

"Get up, what's the matter today?" The queen didn't even bother to get up at this time, she looked at Meng Yiwan with sideways eyes and said in a flat tone.

Looking at the Queen's appearance, Meng Yiwan was slightly moved, but she disappeared without a trace. Standing there without changing her expression, she took out a food box in her hand, and said, "Daughter-in-law recently learned a new sweet-scented osmanthus and red date cake. Hearing that the woman is very healthy, I personally made a portion for my mother to taste."

"Well, let's put it there." The queen slowly closed her eyelids without even looking at the food box in Meng Yiwan's hand, and said in a calm tone.

This time Meng Yiwan's face finally showed a trace of unnatural emotion, she stood there in a daze for a while not knowing what to say, after a long while, the queen opened her eyes again and saw Meng Yiwan was still standing there, And his face was obviously a little ugly, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said in a reprimanded tone: "Why are you still standing there, you are still a little weak now, please sit down quickly."

After finishing speaking, the queen got up from the bed and tidied her clothes slowly.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Because Meng Yiwan had been standing for a long time, her body was really unbearable, but the queen didn't speak, how could she dare to sit down, at this time, hearing the queen's permission, she sat down on the stool beside her, enduring the pain in her body, and put the The food box was also placed on the table, and the gentle smile appeared on the face again.

"Is the prince not in the prince's mansion today?" The queen asked casually.

"After returning to my mother, the prince has been busy with political affairs outside recently, and is rarely in the mansion. As a princess, Wan'er naturally has to be considerate of her husband." Meng Yiwan said very virtuously, but only she knew that what was in her heart How deep is the resentment.

But the queen sneered when she heard Meng Yiwan's sensible words, looked sideways at Meng Yiwan and said mockingly: "What kind of understanding, don't you know the real reason why the crown prince doesn't go back? It’s a waste, just give it to a woman who is more suitable for the prince!”

"Mother!" Meng Yiwan hurriedly knelt in front of the queen after hearing this, and then two lines of tears flowed down her knees, crawled to the queen's feet, pulled the queen's dress and cried, "Mother, I don't want to leave Your Highness the Crown Prince. Please don't let me leave Your Highness! Wan'er really loves His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Meng Yiwan knew that this day would come eventually, but she never thought it would come so suddenly. Suddenly, Meng Yiwan completely forgot the purpose of her trip. All she could think about was how to stay by the prince's side, how to prevent the queen Change your mind so that you don't step down from the position of the princess.

The queen looked down at Meng Yiwan begging for mercy, and said coldly: "The crown prince wants to be a crown princess who can open up the future for him. Now that you can't even keep the prince's heir, how can you be this crown princess? If you let The other princes took the opportunity to snatch everything from the prince, how should you be responsible for all this?"

Meng Yiwan shook her head violently, and whimpered: "As long as I can stay by the prince's side, I am willing to do whatever I am asked to do, even if I am asked to die. I will stay by the prince's side!"

Hearing Meng Yiwan's words, a triumphant smile flashed across the corner of the Queen's mouth, then she changed into a melancholy expression, sighed slightly, bent down to help Meng Yiwan up, seeing that Meng Yiwan had already cried into a mess She stretched out her hand to brush her somewhat messy hair from her temples, and looked at Meng Yiwan earnestly and said:

"The queen mother is also reluctant to part with you, but the situation forced it. Originally, you were pregnant with the prince's heir. This is the first child of the royal family. The emperor will definitely inherit the throne to Qi'er, but the child has died now. The prince's respect for you With such an attitude, the empress mother just uttered angry words when she had no other choice!"

Meng Yiwan looked at the Queen with tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice: "As long as it is for His Royal Highness, Wan'er is willing to do whatever I ask Wan'er to do. I only hope that the Empress can let Wan'er stay by the Prince's side all the time!"

After hearing this, the queen's mouth curled up slightly, and she gently hugged Meng Yiwan into her arms. Where Meng Yiwan couldn't see, her smile became a bit calculating.

"Silly boy."

And Meng Yiwan was still obsessed with the helpless warmth in her mouth as the queen gently stroked her hair, without the slightest idea that she had been treated as a pawn.

Meng Zhong's business has encountered some accidents in recent days, and some shops and smuggling businesses suddenly disappeared for no reason, but he still can't find any reason. Only then did I go to find Meng Yiwan, and after returning from the Prince's Mansion, I waited anxiously at home every day.

Seeing Meng Zhong's anxious appearance, Mrs. Jiang stepped forward and said, "Don't worry about it here. Since Wan'er agreed to this matter, she will definitely do it. Wan'er was raised by us since childhood. , don't you know her filial piety?"

Although Meng Yiwan was still a little worried when she had a miscarriage, she not only attached great importance to the matter of miscarriage, but also did not drive Meng Yiwan out of the prince's mansion in the end, so Jiang thought she was her own daughter Consolidated its position in the Prince's Mansion.

Hearing Jiang Shi's words, Meng Zhong felt a little relieved, and said with a sigh of relief: "I raised Wan'er by myself, she has always been the most obedient and the most worry-free, it is the old man. Too much to worry about."

"Okay, okay, my concubine has made some pastries, go and try them."

After speaking, Jiang Shi took Meng Zhongla to the yard to taste pastries.

On the third day after Meng Zhong came back, there was a notification at the door, saying that the Crown Princess had sent someone to deliver a letter.

Meng Zhong didn't care why his daughter didn't come, so he hurriedly sent someone to bring in the letter. After the servant brought the letter in, he couldn't wait to tear the letter open, and Mrs. Jiang waited curiously. with.

Meng Zhong unfolded the letter and read it seriously. The more he read, the more difficult Meng Zhong's expression became. In the end, it turned completely white, and he staggered back a step.

"Master, what exactly happened?" Jiang Shi was a little anxious in her heart, and hurriedly asked.

Meng Zhong handed the letter directly to Mrs. Jiang, and sat down on the chair, depressed.

Jiang Shi took the letter, and when she saw what was written on it, Jiang Shi's face became very ugly.

At the beginning of the letter, she made some ashamed and polite remarks, but at the end, Meng Yiwan expressed her position and said that it was not suitable for her to beg the empress at this time, which meant that she politely rejected Meng Zhong.

"Master, master is not good!"

A middle-aged man in a colored robe hurriedly came in from the outside, came to Meng Zhong, gasped and yelled, "Something happened, all our shops were sealed up by the government, saying we The medicinal materials sold caused many people to vomit and have diarrhea! Many people have sued the government!"

"what!!"

After hearing this, Meng Zhong jumped up against the case, looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief, and said to the middle-aged man with an ugly face: "How could this be? Aren't all our medicinal materials good? How could there be trouble?" Did these things happen? Could it be that someone played tricks later?"

When the middle-aged man heard Meng Zhongyi's righteous accusation, he lowered his head with some guilt, and he hesitated for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Yes, I bought medicinal materials from some black merchants for the sake of cheapness."

"Confused!"

At this time, Meng Zhong can be said to have suffered a double blow. Not only did his daughter's help not be helped, but also such a thing happened. As a result, the shop under his hands was completely over.

"This is not the most serious thing!" Seeing Meng Zhong's furious appearance, the middle-aged man shrank and said immediately.

Meng Zhongwei squinted his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man and said coldly: "What do you mean by that?"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, looked at Meng Zhong and said with difficulty: "After all the shops were sealed up, some people were not rescued because of too much consumption, and several people died. If the family members of the dead If you file a complaint, you may be affected somewhat."

When the words came out, Meng Zhong couldn't stand still, and fell back on the stool again. He slapped the table angrily, gritted his teeth and glared at the middle-aged man and said, "No matter what method you use, you must block it." Keep the mouths of the families of the people who died, and they must not be allowed to report to the central district of the government."

"It's the right side!"

After receiving the order, the middle-aged man hurriedly left the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Right Prime Minister did not blame him.

And the reason why he didn't blame him was because Meng Zhong was so confused by the incidents that followed, he didn't have the energy to blame anyone else. After the middle-aged man left, Meng Zhong dragged his head Leaning on the table with eyes closed, her breath was a little unsteady.

Seeing Meng Zhong's appearance, Mrs. Jiang felt a little nervous, walked up and said cautiously, "Master, what are we going to do now?"
