Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 210 Confession
Mei Qian's guess was not groundless.

If the Imperial City Secretary could not even care about the life and death of the peace envoys, that would be very problematic in itself.

It doesn't even matter to them whether the peace talks result in success or failure.

The ultimate goal of the new emperor's peace talks, besides suing for peace, is to destroy Jiangbei Qi Zhen and others.

Since the Imperial City Division didn't care whether the peace petition could succeed, their purpose was simple - to capture the thief first.

Considering the size and average skill of the Imperial City Division, Mei Qian reasonably guessed that they wanted to carry out an assassination attempt.

"what!"

After sorting out her thoughts, Mei Qian took the time to meet Qi Zhen during the day and told Qi Zhen what she knew and speculated, and Qi Zhen also said that she knew.

This matter is not difficult to guess, and he knows it from the bottom of his heart.

"correct."

After finishing talking about the topic, she suddenly heard Qi Zhen say something right again, and Mei Qian knew that something was wrong again.

"Is there anything else your Highness can do?"

"Can you... help me meet my father?"

As soon as Qi Zhen said this, Mei Qian's eyes changed when she looked at Qi Zhen, and asked: "What does Your Highness want to ask the late Emperor?"

"I would like to ask what happened when my father was alive..."

"You want to ask him if he really wants Qi Yu to be the new emperor?"

Mei Qian made the point, and Qi Zhen nodded and admitted: "I also want to know whether my father was killed by Qi Yu."

Mei Qian understood this, but she did not agree immediately and asked: "If you ask the answer 'yes', are you going to seek revenge from the new emperor?"

"certainly?"

"reason?"

"Of course it's to avenge my father..."

"I'm talking about evidence."

Mei Qian said, her eyes darkened, and she added: "Just rely on the truth told to you by the dead? If everyone in the world asks you how you know, do you really want me to show the late emperor to the world?"

"This……"

"To be honest, if I make a big deal out of this, my life will be shortened if God finds out about it. From ancient times to the present, are there any records about my deities and ghosts in the history books?"

Last night, I helped Qi Zhen and Qi Fei see Prince Jing die, and then saw Qian Li who killed Prince Jing.

Mei Qian had already thought about making the dead speak again. Qi Zhen and Qi Fei would probably let them do other things.

Like now.

"I can privately look for the return of the late emperor's soul for you, but I want to——

Is it possible that without my ability, Your Majesty, your sword-fighting would be stopped because of some "inappropriate reputation and unjust words"?

Instead of killing the late emperor, would you accept a king like Qi Yu who killed his brothers, disrupted the court, and abandoned thousands of people? "

Mei Qian did not deny that Ying Ling Fan gave her a channel for rapid promotion, and even allowed her to get into the sight of high-ranking people in a short period of time.

But Mei Qian doesn't think that she or Qi Zhen and the others rely on this ability.

After all, restricted by the law, Mei Qian can secretly turn on a small stove for herself to make it easier for people around her, but this does not mean that she has no brains to use this ability.

She still had to think about whether this matter would become a big deal.

Once the dispute over the throne was involved, Mei Qian could not imagine the endless disputes she would fall into.

Oh, it's not impossible to get involved in it, but she's afraid that she won't have the chance to do it first.

She works for Qi Zhen, and there are some things she needs to make clear.

Qi Zhen was not angry when he heard Mei Qian's question. When Mei Qian said that his life would be shortened, Qi Zhen felt a little nervous. After Mei Qian finished speaking, he slowly spoke: "Of course I understand what you said... I came to see my father because of the regret that I rushed back to the capital that day but could not see my father for the last time.

Secondly, as I said before, I really want to know whether the father knows what Qi Yu did, or whether the father really wants Qi Yu to be the emperor. "

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and continued: "If my father knew about the little tricks Qi Yu did, but he was unable to intervene because he was seriously ill, I would like to ask my father if there is any evidence to prove that Qi Yu is unfilial and disloyal.

If the father doesn't know, then forget it.

If there is, then it is naturally the best.

There is also the issue of my father's preference. If he prefers Qi Yu, I will apologize to him, tell him what Qi Yu is doing now, and tell him that I can only protect Anguo in my own way.

If it's not Qi Yu that I care about, that's even better, at least my conscience won't be uneasy. "

After Qi Zhen finished speaking, he smiled at Mei Qian and said, "Also, I want to meet my father in my dream."

Mei Qian listened and raised her eyebrows: "Alone?"

"Yes."

Mei Qian nodded, feeling in her heart that she had been a little impulsive just now. Qi Zhen had many more thoughts on his mind now than when he was Li Baizhou.

So Mei Qian added: "When people ask me in the future, I should answer that I don't have enough magic power to summon the emperor-level undead."

Therefore, no matter what Qi Zhen said to the late emperor in his dream, only Qi Zhen knew.

Qi Zhen alone has the final say.

Understanding what Mei Qian meant, Qi Zhen stared at Mei Qian for a while and nodded slowly.

Before Mei Qian left, Qi Zhen said, "I will have someone bring you snacks every day from now on."

"I'll have two, one with double sugar and one with half sugar."

Mei Qian has never been one to refuse modestly. Qi Zhen said a reward, and Mei Qian accepted it and made a request at the same time.

After seeing Qi Zhen nodding in agreement again and again, Mei Qian curled up her lips, put on a face-covering mask and left the mansion where Qi Zhen temporarily lived.

Not long after returning, Mei Qian received the news that Wang He would be coming back soon.

After the salt mines in the mountains were handed over to the people specially sent by Qi Zhen, he came back and continued to be the magistrate of Xing'an County.

···
"I've lost weight and become darker."

Shitou, who had followed the escort for more than two months, returned to the village with Cui'er carrying large and small bags. Mrs. Mei and Han had been waiting at Li Changshou's house at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

When they saw Shitou and Cui'er, they quickly came in and looked at Shitou for a while before judging the truth.

"Nai, I'm fine. I just look thin, but my body is very strong! Cui'er even showed me a look yesterday!"

Listening to Mei Shitou's words, Mrs. Mei nodded repeatedly and walked home with her grandson and granddaughter-in-law. She mentioned that Shitou had missed the Mid-Autumn Festival by leaving.

Mei Shitou felt a little guilty after hearing this, but he had gained a lot of worldly knowledge by going south as a escort. When he came back to talk to Mrs. Mei, Mrs. Mei could also see that Mei Shitou's spirit was completely different from before.

He also said that Cui'er was an apprentice in a medical clinic and why he didn't come home in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cui'er also embarrassedly explained that a few days ago, a lot of people got cold due to the autumn wind.

Some of the more sophisticated female relatives were a bit shy about male doctors, so she was taken out by her teacher and father from the medical clinic to take her pulse.

At first, she checked the woman's pulse and examined the doctor. Her master occasionally gave guidance from behind the screen. Now Cui'er can go out alone to see the doctor.

Hearing that everything was fine with Cui'er and Mei Shitou, Mrs. Mei nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, grandma...have you heard any news about your sister recently?"

When Mei Shitou asked this question, Mrs. Mei's face that was happy just now gradually darkened.

Speaking of which, her old man didn't have any dreams during this period. Lin Qin and his family also went to deliver food several times, but they didn't get any useful information...

Mrs. Mei: Who will send a message? Living or dead.

Old Man Mei: ...

Lin Qin:......
