Xiao Yu came out of the palace with a gloomy face. Gan Ming, who was waiting outside, quickly went up to him and put on his cloak, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, does your Majesty disagree?"

"Humph! Zhong Rouning!" Xiao Yu's face turned even more ugly.

"Did the Queen obstruct it?" Gan Ming asked carefully.

"Father-in-law is no longer important enough. My uncle just ordered me. Let's go back. Things have changed." Xiao Yu seemed to have made a strong determination.

As soon as Xiao Yu's king left, Zhong Ju followed Zhong Jue and flashed out of the side door. Zhong Jue said, "Ju'er, you have to closely monitor Xiao Yu's every move. Something big is going to happen in Chencheng."

"Uncle, do you mean that Xiao Yu will make a big move? He won't rebel, right?" Zhong Ju said worriedly.

Zhong's whereabouts have always been at sea, but Zhong Jue has already arrived in Chencheng in hiding. He already knows Xiao Huli's condition very well. He has great opinions on Xiao Huli. If he really wants to do it for Zhong Rou

Ning Ning thought, at this time, Chencheng should be sealed off and all princes should be strictly prohibited from returning to the capital, but Xiao Huli actually recalled Xiao Yu and Meng Yan. What is this, a threat to the Zhong family?

"Did Meng Yan go to Beijing?" Zhong Jue did not answer Zhong Ju's question.

"Well, Duke Chu entered Beijing before noon today, but instead of returning to the Duke of Chu's mansion, they went directly to Cang Shuliang."

"Have Su Qing or Shi Ying returned?" Zhong Jue suddenly had an idea in his mind. If Su Qing or Shi Ying were also in Chencheng, Ning'er's chances would be greater.

Zhong Ju shook his head. Although he didn't understand what Zhong Jue meant, he still replied wholeheartedly: "No, Mingjian Secretary Su Qing went to Jiangxia with Ye Shuai of Zhengxi Prefecture, and Shi Ying stayed in Changsha as Chen Zhiqing's deputy."

Zhong Jue's heart trembled. It seemed that Meng Yan had long expected that Su Qing's identity would affect the situation in Chencheng, so he simply didn't bring him back this time. He suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Come back to Mingjian with Meng Yan this time."

Who is in charge? Who is the commander of Bai Zewei?"

"The temporary head of the Mingjian Department is An Can, the personal guard of Duke Chu, and the commander of Bai Zewei is Meng Huan."

"It's a good plan. One of these two people is his personal guard and the other is his brother. No one can get involved. This clearly tells everyone that Meng Yan's attitude is not to get involved." Zhong Jue said with hatred.

Zhong Ju now understood Zhong Jue's thoughts, "Do you want to win over Meng Yan to help the empress?"

Zhong Jue rolled his eyes at him and said: "Can Sanniang enter the city tonight? We can't do nothing. Now is the critical moment for us to compete with Xiao Yu. This old guy Xia Houming is leading a group of people to lock the door on the island.

The people have completely sided with Xiao Yu."

The court is now divided into three forces. One is the forces from Suomen Island headed by Xia Houming. This group of people accounts for nearly half of the officials. However, Xiao Huli's recent attitude is obviously to exclude Xia Houming; the other is the forces headed by Zhongshu.

The officials headed by Geng Xian

The officials have always maintained a neutral attitude. Although there are not many of them, most of them are admonishing ministers and loyal to the court; thirdly, relying on the rising power of the Zhong family, most of these people do not have enough actual power, but fortunately they have the Secretary of General Affairs in their hands.

, can barely be regarded as one share.

In the military power, the Zhong family's strength is not weaker than that of Zhengbeifu. Chongqi is a king with a different surname and will definitely not express his position easily. Lu Chongzong is Xiao Huli's loyal supporter. It is basically impossible to win over him. The key lies in Meng

Yanle, Zhengxi

Everyone in the world knows the strength of the government. As long as Meng Yan leans towards one side, the outcome is self-evident. However, this Meng Yan has a sworn relationship with Xiao Yu and Zhong Roulan. No one is sure that he can win them.

Meng Yan’s support.

"Father-in-law, things are different from what we expected. My uncle is obviously very dissatisfied with my attitude today." Xiao Yu said while holding the wine glass.

"Your Majesty has been unwilling to see me for a long time. The only people in the palace who can make decisions are the empress and Lu Chongzong. I tested Lu Chongzong, and his attitude is the same as before." Xia Houming's face turned gloomy.

"Father-in-law, we can't sit back and wait for death like this. We still have to fight for Meng Yan." Xiao Yu said with squinted eyes.

"Are you sure? If you look for him, wouldn't Princess Chenyang look for him?" Xia Houming has never had a good sense of Meng Yan, but he has to admit that Meng Yan is the most critical link at the moment.

Xiao Yu turned to look at Xia Houying who was busy, and asked with a smile: "The princess and Mrs. Chu are like sisters, why don't you pay a visit to the princess?"

Xia Houying was stunned. She had been dissatisfied with Xiao Yu's behavior in taking concubines. Whether she lost her temper or made trouble, Xiao Yu always treated him with cold eyes. Now looking at Xiao Yu who was smiling slowly, she understood that she

There is still value, but it’s hard to say how much of the sisterly love between myself and Cang Shu Haoyue will remain.

"Your Majesty, I can try, but it's hard to say whether Haoyue is willing to see me or not. The Duke of Chu's family returned to Beijing and lived directly in Mr. Cang Shu's house, making it clear that they refuse all contact." Xia Houying said coldly.

"Ying'er! Now is not the time to lose your temper!" Although Xia Houming was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yu's concubinage, Xiao Yu had already publicly made Xiao Ning, the daughter of Xia Houying, his heir apparent and informed the ancestral temple of this fact.

Ming is still satisfied.

"Father-in-law, it's really not that Ying'er is having a bad temper. The relationship between Cang Shu Haoyue and Ying'er is indeed no longer the same as on Lockdown Island." Xiao Yu quickly said protectively. Although his feelings for Xia Houying are not that deep,

But he understood that his princess could only be Xia Houying, and taking a concubine was indeed intentional. Xia Houying was too jealous, and he did it just to beat her up.

"Father, can you talk to Mr. Cang Shu? Geng Xin is also his disciple. If we can get Geng Xin's support, our chances of winning are not small." Xia Houying was still happy when she heard Xiao Yu's protective words.

For a moment.

Xia Houming shook his head helplessly, "Not to mention whether Cang Shuliang will help us, but Geng Xian's attitude will never compromise, so don't think about it here."

The three of them couldn't think of a better way and fell into deep thought for a while. Xiao Yu drank several glasses of wine and said, "Father-in-law, no matter what Meng Yan's attitude is, it's better to prepare for the worst and notify Ganzhou to take action."

Xia Houming was startled and said quickly: "It's not as bad as this. Doing so is tantamount to treason!"

"If we wait until uncle's decree comes down, won't we all have to go down the same road? Are you willing to be controlled by the Zhong family? The Xiao family's empire must not fall into the hands of the Zhong family." Xiao Yu's tone became more and more serious.

While Zhong Jue and Xiao Yu were in trouble, Meng Yan, the key figure they mentioned, was living a relatively happy life and was enjoying Cang Shu Haoyue's massage with her eyes closed.

"Qilang, what do you think His Majesty wants to do? Drive you to Xichuan?" Cang Shu Haoyue said dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty has been very gentle and did not force the Zhengxi Mansion to go north. Su Qing and Qingfeng are becoming more and more sophisticated. Mingjian Division does not need me to worry about it." Meng Yan was not dissatisfied with Xiao Huli's actions. Instead, he was dissatisfied with Su Qing and Gu

Qingfeng is happy with his growth.

"Brother seems to be in a bad mood. Do you think there will be any changes in my brother's situation?"

Meng Yan turned over and hugged Cang Shu Haoyue in his arms. While stroking restlessly with his big hands, he said: "Brother grew up beside Your Majesty. He has deep feelings for Your Majesty. I will accept whatever choice he makes."

No surprise.”

Cang Shu Haoyue gasped and murmured in response: "What are you going to do about Xichuan? You have to deal with not only the Zhuge family now, but also the Zhu Mu family and Cao Li."

The weather in the southern border always makes people feel more excited. Meng Yan's hands were just restless at first, but now they were wandering all over Cang Shu Haoyue's body. Suddenly he stopped at a key position, and Cang Shu Haoyue was caught.

I was shocked by this sudden movement and said shyly: "What are you doing in broad daylight?! Are you ashamed?"

After saying this, Meng Yan became even more unscrupulous. Skin-to-skin contact cannot be controlled by the brain. Meng Yan firmly pressed Cang Shu Haoyue under her body and said seriously: "There is nothing wrong with Xichuan. The people of both rivers are simple and honest."

, is more suitable for the development of my concept, but at this time, shouldn’t you fulfill your responsibilities as a wife?”

Cang Shu Haoyue didn't have the strength to push Meng Yan away. After a lot of twists and turns, Cang Shu Haoyue couldn't control the ethics anymore. She put her hands around Meng Yan's neck and said bitterly: "You are unkind and I am unjust!"

The spring scenery in the evening originally belonged to Meng Yan and his wife, but Gu Qingfeng's head outside the Moon Gate added a touch of interest.

Gu Qingfeng was originally going to report the information about Cui. As soon as she stepped through the Moon Gate, she happened to see the two of them being affectionate. She exited the Moon Gate without thinking, but the sneakiness in her heart urged her to just hide, her heart pounding.

He was dancing, and the hot feeling on his face watered the seed in his heart, and it burst out of the ground at this moment.

Gu Qingfeng calmed down for a long time before arranging his posture and walked out of the inner house, and quietly closed the door quietly, then sat quietly outside the door, holding his head in a daze.

Cang Shuliang, who was standing in the distance, looked at Gu Qingfeng who looked like a little girl and smiled. Cang Shuliang stroked his beard and said to himself: "This girl is not bad. The one named Su Qing last time was also good. It's a pity that

Meng Yan is a stupid goose, his eyes are full of moons, and he doesn't understand the wind and moon at all."

It was already dark after the fierce battle. The two were lying hugging each other. Meng Yan played with Cang Shu Haoyue's messy hair and said: "Yue'er, if Sanniang or Xia Houying comes to your door tomorrow, don't refuse. Let's meet.

Show your generosity, Mrs. Chu, and listen to their thoughts."

"Why don't you see them?" Cang Shu Haoyue said softly as she huddled in Meng Yan's arms.

"They won't take the initiative to visit me. Isn't it too obvious to visit at this time, so both Sanniang and Xia Houying will visit you in the name of sisters. After all, you are the former 'Five Sheep and Three Harms', aren't you?

"

"Well, anyway, I only talk about sisters, not state affairs. Do you think I will send them a post tonight and invite them to get together tomorrow?" Cang Shu Haoyue suddenly straightened up and said with a little excitement.

.

"Madam, it's a good plan. We don't wait for them to come to the door, we take the initiative, that's great!" Meng Yan squinted and stared at Cang Shu Haoyue's smooth body and said, but Honest's body started to feel again.

Cang Shu Haoyue felt the fire in his eyes, and immediately crossed her arms and said vigilantly: "What are you doing! We can't mess around anymore. If you want to mess around, I will accompany you tonight. We still have business to do."

Meng Yan couldn't care less and rushed forward. Amid Cang Shu Haoyue's exclamation, a fierce battle began again.
