Doting the evil king and foolish concubine

Chapter 317 Entrusted with an important task (2)
Yan Po glanced at Xue Shu with flickering eyes. Obviously, he seemed to know about the changes in the palace, but he never told Xue Shu.At this moment, Jincheng was left outside the palace, and only Yan Po followed Xueshu into the palace.

It was Mei Xiang who pushed Cheng Yanyan, she looked at Xue Shu, embarrassed, but her face was full of apology.

"What happened?" Xueshu asked, staring into Cheng Yanyan's eyes.

Cheng Yanyan let out a heavy sigh of relief, "You came too suddenly, so the Empress asked me to inform you first..."

When Xue Shu heard this, her heart sank. She first thought that maybe Meng Jueran's poison had not been cured, or something more dangerous had happened.So, she took a deep breath and said calmly, "Just say what you want, I can still bear it... No matter what happens to him, we will never be separated again..."

Cheng Yanyan sighed deeply, then stared at Xue Shu sincerely and said solemnly, "I say two things, you have to be prepared. One is that the poison of Prince Ming has been cured, and people have woken up early, but they are I have lost my memory, and I can no longer remember everything that happened in the past. Now people have become like a piece of wood, and have not said a word since waking up. The second is that the empress is in charge, and Murong Yan has already been given to him as a side concubine .”

When Xueshu heard this, she was stunned for a long time without any response. She just stared at Cheng Yanyan, and after a long time, she blinked her eyes and said, "You mean, his poison has been cured but he has lost his forgetfulness, while Murong Yan has married him..." When she said the last sentence, Xueshu's body shook a little, and she felt that sense of emptiness as if all her strength had been pulled from her body, she was in a daze, and slowly backed away.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Yan Po supported her from behind, "Princess, the prince is not that kind of person..." What he meant was that Meng Jueran would never marry Murongyan willingly.

Cheng Yanyan took a look at Xue Shu, sighed, and continued, "Even my uncle is puzzled by the memory loss of Prince Ming. Normally, after all the poison is exhausted, he should recover, but no. Thinking about others but becoming dumbfounded, now she doesn't even pay attention to the affairs in the court. As for Murong Yan, there is no other way. She took care of the prince all the way without taking off his clothes, and did everything by herself, even mouth-to-mouth to deliver medicine for the prince... These The matter, the maidservant next to Murong Yan had already told the Empress Dowager, in front of Murong Piao, what could the Empress Dowager do? She could only do it. Anyway, Murong Yan can be regarded as a lady, well-educated, and of good status. I love the prince even more wholeheartedly. For more than a month, I have been submissive and gentle to the prince, and the queen empress has accepted her secretly, but she feels that she owes you a lot."

Saying that, Cheng Yanyan looked at Xueshu again, and saw that her eyes were full of sadness, her heart must have been cold.But at present, Xue Shu must be kept steady, so she gave Mei Xiang a look.

Mei Xiang knelt down in front of Xue Shu with a plop, "Princess, please understand the empress's suffering. Murong Yan took care of the prince's clothes and was unrecognizable, and it was rumored all over the world. If the empress didn't do it at that time, she might be called ungrateful. The reputation is also bad. But the empress said, you have made contributions to the Duke of Meng, no matter what, you are the righteous concubine of Prince Ming, and the empress asked me to give this to you..." Said, Mei Xiang solemnly said An object wrapped in a handkerchief was held up in front of Xue Shu.

Xue Shu recognized this object, it was the Xuanyuan Blood Jade representing the dignity of the Queen of the Meng Dukedom.It seems that grandma really wanted to make up for Xueshu, and she did not hesitate to give her the seal symbolizing the queen's status in advance, and also assured her that in the future, Meng Jueran would be the throne of God, and she would be the most honorable queen.

But Xueshu looked at the seal indifferently, and even took a step back, shaking her head firmly, "Mei Xiang, tell grandma, this is not what I want, I understand her heart..." As she said, Xueshu bowed her head He walked around Mei Xiang and wanted to leave.

Seeing that Mei Xiang was in a hurry, she walked on her knees and knelt down in front of Xue Shu, "Princess, if you don't accept this seal today, this servant will not have to see the Queen Empress again, and this servant will apologise with death." With a sob, "Princess, the day Murong Yan married the prince, the empress did not close her eyes all night. She hugged Meng Yao and said sorry to you all the time... Just because of her dedication to you, please accept the concubine." Get this seal! Otherwise, how can the empress feel at ease?"

"Mei Xiang, don't force me to die, that's useless to me. Don't worry, I will explain to grandma, she won't blame you." Xue Shu said coldly without looking at Mei Xiang.

When Cheng Yanyan saw that Xueshu had refused even the position of queen, she panicked and grabbed Xueshu in a hurry, "Princess, please forgive Murongyan for this matter. You know, the prince has lost his memory now, and the court has become a little turbulent. Murong Piao recommended himself, but the emperor couldn't refuse him, so he was perfunctory at the beginning and let him take a small post in the Ministry of Rites. Unexpectedly, this month, he has been promoted to three ranks, Having achieved the position of Minister of Rituals, I really turned my hands into clouds and rain, and was highly regarded by the emperor. Others may not know the details of the Murong family, but my father knows it very well, so I am very worried, afraid that the Murong family will use the Meng Duke So he told the emperor, who knew that the emperor was obviously impressed by Murong Piao's talent, and he didn't care at all. My father was worried and racked his brains, trying to use the reputation of the princess I pushed you out, and hoped that you would replace the lord to participate in the government and fight against the Murong family. So a month ago, my father asked the emperor to tell the emperor that women should participate in politics. He also wanted to test the emperor, although the emperor laughed it off at the time. But I still appointed me as the imperial repairer. It should be said that I am half-participating in politics. This is definitely a good sign, which shows that the emperor does not look down on women. The most important thing is that the benefits brought by the princess to the Duke of Meng make the emperor look at women with admiration, so My father and others are waiting for Wangfei to come back at this moment, and jointly wrote a letter to appoint Wangfei to take on the important task of keeping Meng Duchy safe for generations."

At this moment, what Cheng Yanyan said was enough to shock Xueshu, she looked at her in astonishment with her mouth half open, and was speechless for a long time.

Yan Po, Mei Xiang, and other guards who accompanied Xueshu into the palace had already guarded the surroundings closely, and when Cheng Yanyan said these words, she had already led Xueshu to a remote palace. Before the empress, she had to explain all these powerful relationships clearly to her, just to prepare her heart.

Today's Xueshu can be described as riding a tiger.What Cheng Yanyan said was not what she wanted.In this life, she only wants to be with him, to live a comfortable life, to compete in court, this is really not what she pursues.

"Yanyan, I'm afraid I can't agree to these things you said. Don't say that I have no family background in the Principality of Meng. The most important thing is that I have no intention of engaging in government affairs. Women's involvement in politics has always been taboo in all countries, and Grandpa will never agree."

"What if the emperor agrees?" Cheng Yanyan asked reluctantly.

"Then I won't agree, I just want to guard him, and I don't want to do anything else." Xue Shu frowned and said boldly.
