Chapter 185 Thunderbolt
In the imperial city, in a study in Changchun Palace.

The palace maid Qiao'er piled the scrolls in her arms on the table with difficulty, and bowed to Mei Dai who was reading: "Your Majesty, the book servant you want has been brought here."

Mei Dai kept her eyes on the scroll and said, "Well, let's go down."

In Qiaoer's eyes, Concubine Xian is really too powerful.Last night, I drank wine with His Majesty for most of the night, and then helped His Majesty fall asleep, and I didn't sleep until the middle of the night.In the morning, when it was just dawn, I got up again to send His Majesty to court, and then I practiced dancing, playing the piano, and painting in the palace by myself.

It was only after noon, after bathing and changing clothes, it was useless even for lunch, and the concubine Xian started to read again.

I heard that the empress read books every day when she lived in Jingxin Garden in Yongwei City before entering the palace.It's not like some concubines deal with errands and put on airs.Niangniang is really studying hard.

If it's just a day or two, it's fine, but the empress has always been like this. Since entering the palace, she has never been lazy, she is simply a superman.

It's no wonder that His Majesty can be bewildered.

In terms of appearance, the empress is originally a beautiful woman, when it comes to dancing, the empress is said to be second, no one dares to be the first, but she works so hard.An old woman like Concubine De, except for a second prince who can do it, how could she have the courage to compete with Concubine Xian for favor.

It would be great if Concubine De came to Changchun Palace to see the daily life of Concubine Xian.Surely she would immediately understand why she couldn't compete.

Just as she was thinking about it, a palace lady's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, an envoy from Xiliang has sent a letter."

When Mei Dai heard the word Xiliang, she immediately put down the book, raised her head and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "Qiaoer, quickly fetch the letter."

Seeing Qiao'er going out, Mei Dai stood up and stretched with ease.

It must be about the big brother's wedding, could it be that he came to urge her to prepare a big gift?

Thinking of this, Mei Dai shook her head with a smile, she still sent a letter to urge her.The congratulatory gift for brother is already on the way.

Qiao'er entered the study, handed the sealed letter in her hand to Mei Dai, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, take your time. This servant will order the kitchen to prepare some food for you."

Mei Dai took the letter, her eyes fell on the wax paint, her heart suddenly tightened.

This wax did not come from his father or elder brother, but from a secret sentry located in the southwest of Wusheng Town, at the border of Liangzhou and Jingzhou.

That secret whistle was set up by my grandfather before his death. Grandpa didn't tell his father and brother, but only told her.She was only 13 years old at the time, and asked her grandpa foolishly:
"Grandpa, why don't you tell Daddy about this?"

"Oh...you can't tell your father, if you tell him," grandpa knocked the ash in the cigarette rod on the table, "your father will definitely dismantle it."

"Daddy won't, he knows that grandpa is doing it for his own good."

"No, I know the virtues of my son best. Granddaughter, you are a sensible child, you must remember that this secret whistle is very important..."

Grandpa's words still echo in my ears.Since she didn't tell her father and elder brother about this secret whistle, she has always been supported by her salary.

Did Dark Whistle discover something?

Seeing that there was no one in the study, she quickly took apart the wax, opened the letter, and read it carefully in front of the light.

At a glance, she was immediately surrounded by severe dizziness, and the words on the paper seemed to start to spin.

There was only one sentence in the letter: Jingzhou sent 20 troops to attack Yongwei.

Man is not as good as God, but it is still a step too late.The plan on his side has not yet been realized, and Jingzhou has already preemptively struck.

Grandpa had long anticipated Jingzhou's wolf ambitions and made preparations in advance.But now that the other party sent an army of 20, it was clear that they wanted to crush Xiliang, and Xiliang was destined to be destroyed.

Tears flowed from her eyes and dripped on the trembling letter paper, blurring the words.

The thing that she tried her best to protect all her life was suddenly about to be lost.

Don't be in a daze, now is not the time to be in a daze.

Mei Dai kept reminding herself in her heart.He raised his head suddenly and looked around vigilantly.

Qiaoer went to arrange a meal and hasn't come back yet.

It doesn't matter what to eat, she has to act.

She is a weak woman who can't do anything, and her only reliance is Emperor Yongde.You must go to Emperor Yongde and ask him to send troops to save Xiliang.

Mei Dai wiped away her tears, sat at the table and began to make up herself in front of the mirror, just picked up the eyebrow pencil, and put it down again.

Do you want to go to see Emperor Yongde in such a miserable state?
Emperor Yongde went to court early this morning. It is said that many memorials have been accumulated during this period, but they have not been processed.Prime Minister Shen Guogong repeatedly begged His Majesty to attend the court.Emperor Yongde couldn't bear her, and didn't want to listen to Shen Guogong's nagging, so he agreed to deal with it for a day.

What reason should Emperor Yongde send troops?

Emperor Yongde never dared to offend King Jing and King Qi. He sent Zhao Mu to send troops before, but he just stopped Xiao Beiheng's army from advancing westward, and then it was done hastily.Now even if he knew that Jingzhou sent troops to attack Xiliang, he would stand by and watch.

Kneeling on the ground holding Emperor Yongde's thigh and weeping bitterly, maybe it will soften his heart...I still don't think it's possible.

Mei Dai thought of several ways, but they all felt that it was not feasible.

Emperor Yongde had absolutely no reason to do anything to Prince Jing, or rather he didn't dare.His world still needs King Jing and King Qi to maintain it. Back then when King Qi Xiao Ming tore up his imperial edict, he didn't dare to say anything.

How to do how to do?
Mei Dai clenched her fists tightly, her nails pierced her palms, and a stream of bright red blood dripped from the edge of her white and tender palms onto the table.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing has arrived and brought you a generous gift," Qiao'er walked into the study with a smile on her face and said, "The gift we sent will be taken back immediately."

"Prince Jing?" Mei Dai turned her head to Qiaoer.

By the way, during the autumn hunt, Qiaoer had told her that Prince Jing was coming to the capital.

He came here to give himself a generous gift, how could it be possible?Jingzhou has sent troops to attack Xiliang, how could King Jing not know that Mei Dai is the daughter of the king of Xiliang.What does it mean to send a generous gift at this time?
Mei Dai said to Qiao'er without changing her face: "I know, is lunch ready?"

Qiao'er said: "The servant has already ordered the imperial kitchen to start, just wait another quarter of an hour. King Jing is here, and the servant is afraid of delaying the important matter, so I will inform the empress first."

Mei Dai nodded, thinking quickly in her mind.

There is only one explanation for King Jing's gift, that is, King Jing didn't know that the Jingzhou army had already started to attack Xiliang, and it was a very long way from Jingzhou to the capital.He should have not been notified of the Jingzhou Army's dispatch of troops.

No matter why Prince Jing came to her place, she was smart enough to think of a way to get Emperor Yongde to send troops.

"Qiao'er, come and dress up for this palace," Mei Dai sat up straight, "This palace is going to meet Prince Jing."

Qiaoer was startled, and said to Mei Dai: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves are talking too much. Shouldn't Prince Jing go to see His Majesty first, and His Majesty will announce the decree..."

"Your Majesty is listening to the government at the court, let's not disturb him," Mei Dai interrupted her calmly, "I will go to see Prince Jing first, and you can order someone to report to His Majesty, saying that Prince Jing invited Xian The imperial concubine is going to the banquet."

Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, but Prince Jing didn't say that.

But since the master has already spoken, then she will follow suit as a slave.Thinking about its mysteries is not what a slave should do.

The more you know, the faster you die.
