The funeral of the princess of Jincheng County was held with great fanfare amidst the competition between the imperial court and various forces. However, Meng Yan refused the good intentions of any Zhong family members, including the envoys of his senior brother Hou Zhongfan of Kuaiji.

The Jiangxia Jiedushi of the Zhengxi Prefecture launched a raid on Xizhou under the command of Ye Bohuai and captured a large number of Andong Prefecture troops. Empress Dowager Zhong Rouning sent Lu Chongzong to help the Zhong family make peace with Meng Yan. The result can be imagined. Meng Yan

Didn't buy it.

"Sanniang, I didn't expect you to be so heartless and crazy!" Zhong Rouning was filled with anger after being pushed back by Meng Yan. She didn't like Meng Yan, but it was just political differences. She had never thought of attacking his family.

"Empress, believe it or not, I have never thought of harming Haoyue." Zhong Roulan was already in a state of panic at this moment. The verbal and verbal attacks from all forces had exhausted her physically and mentally, and Cang Shuliang's words of "Killing for life" made Chen Chao even more nervous.

The taxi men criticized Zhong Roulan very hard.

"But now that the body of Princess Jincheng County is there, how should you explain it? Your people have been arrested by Lu Chongzong, and you can't explain it even if you are covered in words!" Zhong Rouning said with disappointment in her eyes.

.

"This is a conspiracy of the Donghai people. Everyone knows that I just want to get Meng Yan's support." Zhong Roulan explained as best as possible.

"But people died!"

With just this sentence, thousands of reasons are false. Meng Yan's attitude has been very clear. Zhuo Tianya is no match for Ye Bohuai. If it weren't for Ye Bohuai's mercy, Xizhou City would have been destroyed by now.

Seeing Zhong Roulan's helpless expression, after all, she was her sister, Zhong Rouning still couldn't bear it, "It's impossible for the court to help you. If you want to solve this matter at this time, firstly, you must confirm the conspiracy of the Donghai people, and secondly,

Let Xiao Yu come forward to help you, otherwise you just have to wait for the three courts to interrogate."

Zhong Roulan nodded in agreement, but she didn't have any clue in her heart. Xiao Yu was being merciful by not adding insult to injury at this time. As for helping herself, it was basically impossible. All she could do now was admit her mistake and figure out the Donghai people's conspiracy.

It is clear that Anton Mansion and Dongyang County Prince are going to carry out a large-scale purge. Who knows how many people the Donghai people have arranged around them.

Gu Qingfeng did not choose to return to Changsha, but asked Meng Huan, who was already able to walk, to go back to Changsha under the escort of Tong Yan to announce the death of Cang Shu Haoyue. He took Meng Wanshu back to Chencheng again. She was wary of all the people around her.

People, especially those from Mingjian Division, always take Meng Wanshu with them.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng was sitting in the mourning hall with Meng Yan, and Meng Wanshu fell asleep in her arms. The crisis of not being able to find her mother made Meng Wanshu feel very low sense of security, even if she fell asleep, she would not feel safe.

Holding Gu Qingfeng's fingers tightly.

"Your Highness, Su Qing has imprisoned himself in the prison, and the affairs of Mingjian Division have been taken over by Commander Qing." Gu Qingfeng looked tired.

"You should take your child to rest, you shouldn't come back." Meng Yan's voice was full of exhaustion.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said stubbornly: "Your Highness, Changsha is not necessarily safer than here."

Meng Yan looked at Gu Qingfeng meaningfully and said, "Qingfeng, I want to thank you for keeping your promise. If you want to leave, just let me know. Whether you go to Bihai City or Dongchuan is up to you."

Gu Qingfeng smiled miserably and said: "I am from Zhengxi Mansion. My wife entrusted the child to me. I can't break my promise. My father is very good in Bihai City. As for my brother, I think he will understand it one day."

Seeing Gu Qingfeng's persistence, Meng Yan didn't say anything more. The two of them just sat quietly. Meng Yan looked at Cang Shu Haoyue's coffin in a daze. After a while, he said: "You send a message back to Su Qing and tell Su Qing that I am

If you trust her, let her not be burdened. Mingjian Division is temporarily taken over by Qing Shuai because he is worried that she has gone too far. I believe that most of the soldiers in Zhengxi Mansion are still good."

On the day Gu Qingfeng arrived in Chencheng, he conveyed Cang Shu Haoyue's last words to Meng Yan word for word. It was not until today that Meng Yan officially responded. In her heart, Su Qing would be fine. After hearing Meng Yan's attitude

, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief. If Su Qing is really dealt with, it will probably affect the vitality of Mingjian Division.

"Your Highness, would you like to send someone over? Your safety is very important right now." Gu Qingfeng asked for instructions.

"Just look at the arrangements. I really don't have the energy to think about this."

Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please give me an order to have Gu Yanfeng, Jiangxia's military envoy, come over."

Meng Yan immediately took out the seal from his arms and handed it to Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng knew the weight of this seal. She was surprised that Meng Yan was not wary of her. When she looked at Meng Yan again, she saw his

His eyes were full of sadness. Since Cang Shu Haoyue's coffin was placed, he didn't shed any tears. He just stayed in the mourning hall every day and talked to Cang Shu Haoyue's body. Sometimes he was sad and sometimes he was happy. No one understood Meng Yan.

What was the couple's relationship like until yesterday when Cang Shuliang was carried over and saw Meng Yan's condition, she lamented: "Don't bother him, they have a lot to say."

As soon as Gu Qingfeng went out with the child in his arms, he saw Xiao Yu's car arriving. Just as he was about to go up to it, he saw Zhong Roulan getting off the carriage. Gu Qingfeng immediately asked everyone to take a defensive posture.

"What are you going to do!" Xiao Yu said quickly when he saw this. He was persuaded by Zhong Roulan and wanted nothing more than to stabilize the court. It was not that he didn't understand when he saw the hostility of Meng Yan's subordinates, but the knot in his heart would eventually be resolved.

Gu Qingfeng took out Meng Yan's seal without showing any signs of weakness, and said loudly and loudly: "Your Majesty has an order! The children of the Zhong family are not allowed to step into the mansion! Anyone who dares to violate it will not care about life and death! Please forgive me, His Highness the King of Wu!"

The dignified King Wu was somewhat embarrassed when a maid blocked the door, but it was hard to get angry. Besides, he knew the seal in the hands of the maid. In Zhengxi Mansion, this seal was more powerful than the jade seal. It seemed that this

The little maid had an unusual identity and said coldly: "Can I, the king, go in?"

"If His Highness King Wu must go in, I will not dare to stop you." Gu Qingfeng's respectful expression was full of hostility.

Xiao Yu turned around and looked at Zhong Roulan behind him, and said, "I'll go in first and talk to my second brother. Please wait here."

Zhong Roulan shook her head and smiled miserably: "Don't bother Your Highness King Wu, I will stand here and say the same thing."

After saying that, Zhong Roulan strode forward, and the guards in the courtyard all had their swords unsheathed and arrows cocked. If Zhong Roulan dared to step in, they would not show mercy because of her identity.

Zhong Roulan took out a stack of papers from her arms, held them up with both hands, and said, "Girl, please pass these to the prince."

Gu Qingfeng probably guessed what the content was, and with a glance, a guard took the thing and went straight to the atrium, while the others still maintained a confrontation.

Xiao Yu had been observing Gu Qingfeng's movements and expressions, and always felt that his face was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Suddenly, the faces of the Gu family of Zhengbei Mansion flashed in his mind, and he asked: "Girl, I dare to ask, but who is the Gu family?"

female?"

Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Excuse me, Your Highness, I am indeed the Gu family's daughter, Qingfeng."

"Gu Qingfeng?" Xiao Yu murmured, "What is the relationship between the girl and Gu Qufeng and Gu Yingfeng?"

"They are my clan brothers." Gu Qingfeng did not hide it. When his wife was assassinated, he used Gu's secret skill. He couldn't hide it, so it was better to reveal his identity.

"I see, but why did you..." Xiao Yu was thinking at this moment.

"It's just a grudge from the previous generation. My Highness is kind to the Gu family and kind to me. I am willing to serve by my Highness's side." Gu Qingfeng could hear Xiao Yu's intention of drawing in and alienating each other.

"Hehehe," Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly. He was a little helpless after being scolded by a little girl twice in a row, so he could only smile awkwardly.

While the two sides were maintaining a vigilant stalemate, another group of people came outside the house. Zhong Jue was seen leading a group of people to surround the place. He walked in fiercely and asked loudly: "Meng Yan! Come out here.

, I, a descendant of the Zhong family, dare to take responsibility! The Donghai people’s deeds have been found out, what else do you want?”

Zhong Roulan hurriedly came up to hold her father. She was a little confused as to why her father suddenly became confused at this moment. "Father, what are you doing?"

"What did I do? Ask Meng Yan what he did?!" Zhong Jue said angrily.

"What's going on?" Zhong Roulan asked confused.

"Why does he encourage the scholars and common people to insult me, Zhongshi, in all kinds of ways?!"

No wonder Zhong Jue was so angry. He could admit that he had done something wrong, but it was the family's reputation that was reviled and ruined by the world. The current situation is that even if he could explain it clearly, it would be difficult to restore Zhong's reputation.

Zhong Roulan lowered his head and said nothing. Xiao Yu felt a little secretly happy in his heart, but he still maintained his demeanor. However, he could use his toes to figure out who was behind it. The only one who could raise his arms and make the scholars and common people of Chen Dynasty cause trouble was Cang Cang.

Who else could Shu Liang have? Moreover, Zhongshu Ling Gengxian was his disciple and would never interfere. The Zhong family could no longer stay in Chencheng.

After a while, another team with the emperor's chariot came outside the house and directly confronted the Zhong family. It turned out that Zhong Rouning came with Lu Chongzong's people.

Zhong Rouning slowly got out of the car, looked around at the kneeling people, and said, "All of you dear ladies are here to see Princess Jincheng? Father, what do you mean by bringing so many people?"

Zhong Jue was embarrassed, but there was no reason for a father to bow his head to his daughter, so he just stiffened his neck and refused to reply.

"To the Queen Mother, the old prince has brought people here to question Prince Jincheng." Gu Qingfeng's voice came from the courtyard.

"Question? Isn't the death of the princess enough?" Zhong Rouning's tone immediately became stern. She was looking for trouble. She came to worship the Zhong family in person because she was trying hard to repair the relationship with Meng Yan. She was scolded by two people.

Just bear with it, the Zhong family's roots are not in Chencheng, and my father is really confused.

At this time, the guard who had delivered something to Meng Yan hurried back, whispered to Gu Qingfeng, and said: "The Queen Mother, my Highness said that if Chencheng really cannot accommodate us, we will set off back to Changsha today, at most three

Yue Zhengxifu will definitely give up Changsha, and please have mercy on my wife."

This was embarrassing, even Zhong Rouning's face was a little confused, but what could he do, he could only try his best to comfort him, and said: "Prince Jincheng is too worried. Zhengxi Mansion has made many military exploits for our Chen Dynasty. Now,

The princess was assassinated by Donghai, and I am really heartbroken. The court will definitely give the county king a satisfactory explanation. The Ai family came here today just to pay homage to the princess, and have no other intention."

"Don't be surprised, Queen Mother. My Highness is mentally damaged and can no longer stand up to greet you. If you wish to pay homage, please come with me." Gu Qingfeng's attitude was extremely indifferent, and even basic manners and etiquette were perfunctory.

Zhong Rou Ning was displeased in her heart, but she had no choice but to push Meng Yan into a panic. She didn't know what he would do.

Zhong Rouning led everyone to the atrium to offer three pillars of fragrance to Cang Shu Haoyue. Unsurprisingly, Zhong Jue and Zhong Roulan were blocked outside the door. Meng Yan had no mercy at all.

Seeing this, Zhong Rouning sighed softly, adjusted her posture and comforted Meng Yan. However, there was no trace of emotion in Meng Yan's dull eyes. The papers scattered on the ground were collected by Zhong Roulan.

Evidence and motives in the East China Sea.

At this moment, no one noticed Lu Chongzong's complicated eyes and his resentment towards Mr. Zhong.

Zhong Rouning didn't want to stay too long. From the moment he walked in until he couldn't walk away from half a stick of incense, Zhong Jue and Zhong Rouning naturally followed Zhong Rouning away, and the soldiers they brought with them dispersed quietly.

Just when she was about to walk out of the alleyway, Zhong Roulan was suddenly stopped.

"Princess Chenyang, please stay!"

Gu Qingfeng hurriedly came up and handed her a brocade box, "My Highness gave it to you." After saying that, he turned around and left.

After Zhong Roulan opened it, she closed her eyes and couldn't bear to look directly. What was supposed to come came anyway, and no accident happened.

Xiao Yu glanced at it, and found a cut-off veil lying quietly in the brocade box.
