After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 675: The Doting Devil
Meng Qianqian went to the palace to visit Zhou Nanyan.

Zhou Nanyan's condition has improved a lot. She can walk and her appetite is back to normal.

When Meng Qianqian arrived at Changchun Palace, she was doing embroidery.

"Your Majesty, Madam Lu is here."

Ms. Ying said with a smile.

Zhou Nanyan hurriedly put down the embroidery in her hand and casually pushed it to the side, as if she wanted to cover it up with the embroidery basket.

Then she walked towards Meng Qianqian happily: "Sister Meng!"

Meng Qianqian's eyes swept across the embroidery that she had deliberately "covered up" and she said calmly, "Let me see you."

Zhou Nanyan took Meng Qianqian's arm and sat down on the stool: "His Majesty told me that it was thanks to Sister Meng that she arrived, otherwise I would be in great danger."

Meng Qianqian looked at her, making her cheeks slightly red. She looked away and asked shyly, "Sister Meng, why are you always staring at me like this? Is there something on Yan'er's face?"

Meng Qianqian thought to herself that she was so bad. If she didn't act like this, it would be fine. But the more she acted like a little white rabbit, the more she couldn't help bullying her.

Meng Qianqian took the half-finished embroidery in the basket and asked with a half-smile, "Ah, who is this dress made for? There's even a goose embroidered on it."

"Ah, Sister Meng!"

Zhou Nanyan's pretty face turned red and she quickly reached out to take it.

Meng Qianqian gently raised her arm, but she missed. Her face turned red and she said angrily, "Sister Meng!"

Meng Qianqian said wickedly, "Tell me who you made it for, and I'll give it back to you."

Zhou Nanyan was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She covered her face and whispered in a low voice after a long while: "I did it for him."

"Who is he?"

Meng Qianqian asked even though she knew the answer.

"Yes...Axi."

"Ah Xi?"

Meng Qianqian burst out laughing.

He doesn't have this nickname, it must be the two of them's own hobby. Based on her understanding of Zhou Nanyan, it is most likely not her initiative, but Zong Zhengxi asked her to call him that.

He would go and name it.

Meng Qianqian felt like her own child was trying hard to act like an adult.

However, this also proves one thing, that the two little guys are beginning to get their senses.

Well, not much though.

"Can you give it back to me?"

Zhou Nanyan asked shyly.

Meng Qianqian rarely saw Zhou Nanyan’s shy side, she liked it very much and wanted to continue teasing her.

I managed to hold it in after all.

She returned the crookedly embroidered dress to its original owner.

Zhou Nanyan coughed lightly and corrected righteously: "Also, what I embroidered was not a goose, but a mandarin duck."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

Wang Rou and Lin Xiaoru also went to the palace to visit Zhou Nanyan today.

The two were very surprised to see Sister Meng was there too.

The four of them talked for a while, and then Yao Qingluan summoned Meng Qianqian.

"What's wrong with the Queen? She always summons Sister Meng. Is she making things difficult for you?"

Zhou Nanyan held Meng Qianqian's hand and asked worriedly.

Meng Qianqian reassured her: "It should be about you and Concubine Lan being poisoned. The Queen has never made things difficult for me. Don't worry."

This is the truth. So far, Yao Qingluan has not shown any intention of making things difficult for her.

Wang Rou said to Zhou Nanyan, "Given Sister Meng's status, the Queen will consider it carefully even if she wants to make things difficult for her."

Zhou Nanyan thought about it and it made sense. She still asked Lady Officer Ying to send Meng Qianqian to Jingren Palace and wait outside.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

Meng Qianqian bowed politely.

Yao Qingluan said, "Stand up. I asked you to come here today. I'm sure you have guessed why."

"Please enlighten me, Madam."

Meng Qianqian said.

Seeing that she was measured in her actions and not overly ostentatious, Yao Qingluan hesitated for a moment and said, "You are indeed different."

Meng Qianqian heard something wrong.

Why do these words... make me feel a little inexplicably melancholy?
Wait, could it be that the Queen thinks that there is something going on between her and the Snake?

Or, did she think that Sishe had some feelings for her, which was why he listened to her advice and protected her from Prime Minister Xun's schemes?
Meng Qianqian put herself in the queen's shoes and thought about it, and suddenly realized that if the queen really had feelings for Si Snake, then her thoughts were indeed understandable.

The Snake didn't know the Queen, so he would protect her. He must have been asked to do so by someone.

Lu Yuan is not familiar with Si Snake either.

The only person involved is her.

As one of the Twelve Guards, Si Snake was her predecessor. She could not give Si Snake orders, and Si Snake was not a person who meddlesome.

Well, it seems that there is really only one possibility left.

Snake...liked her, so when she asked Snake to protect the future queen, Snake agreed without hesitation.

A thought flashed through her mind, and Meng Qianqian secretly held her forehead.

This is really... such a big pot of dog blood!
The reason why Snake obeys her orders is because she is the commander-in-chief.

It has nothing to do with love between men and women.

But how could she explain this to the Queen?

For the first time, Meng Qianqian felt a sense of inexplicable distress.

Wait, I think I got the point wrong, Queen, you——

"I have been investigating the poisoning of Concubine Gui and Concubine Lan in the past two days."

Yao Qingluan seemed to notice Meng Qianqian's surprised look, and changed the subject at the right time, getting back to the point, "It was indeed not Concubine Lan who poisoned her. She was also a victim."

"Ah."

Meng Qianqian also collected her thoughts and nodded.

She also felt that Concubine Lan was innocent.

Ai Mulan was anxious to get a Loulan dancer into the palace. Everyone thought she had bad intentions, but she did the opposite. Arna was a flaw in the open, and her moves were in the dark.

She looked at Yao Qingluan, waiting for the final result.

Unexpectedly, Yao Qingluan just sighed and said, "It's a pity that the person who poisoned us has not been found."

Meng Qianqian asked, "Did anyone else approach Concubine Gui and Concubine Lan in the Imperial Garden that day?"

Yao Qingluan paused and said, "The full moon in Ci'en Palace."

The former Empress Xiao was Lady Wang's cousin. After Zong Zhengxi's wedding, she was promoted to Empress Dowager and moved into Ci'en Palace.

Yingyue was her trusted female official.

No wonder Yao Qingluan looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

As they investigated the matter, they actually found the cause of the matter: Empress Dowager Xiao.

"What is Lady Yingyue going to do?"

she asked.

Yao Qingluan said, "I was just passing by and happened to be picking flowers nearby. I greeted Concubine Gui and Concubine Lan."

After a pause, she added, "The Queen Mother has a hobby of flower arrangement and sends people to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers every day. It's not that she deliberately tries to get close to the Imperial Concubine and the Lan Concubine."

Meng Qianqian understood.

It all seems like a coincidence.

Two possibilities.

First, Yao Qingluan was lying. She deliberately pointed the finger at Empress Dowager Xiao.

Second, this matter is indeed related to Ci'en Palace.

But that doesn't mean it was Empress Dowager Xiao who did it, and it's not certain that Aimulan bribed Yingyue.

After all, that was Aimulan.

Yao Qingluan glanced at Meng Qianqian and said calmly, "I know you may be suspicious of me, but it doesn't matter. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to clear my name."

Meng Qianqian bowed: "Xiaojiu will take his leave."

After leaving Jingren Palace, she asked the female official Ying about Xiaoquanzi, who was by Empress Dowager Xiao's side.

Xiao Quanzi was Lu Yuan's spy placed next to Empress Dowager Xiao. When she entered the palace before, the other party had helped her a lot.

"Mrs. Lu, are you talking about Eunuch Quan? Eunuch Quan passed away some time ago."

Said the female official Ying.

"Dead?"

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment, "How could it be such a coincidence?"
-
When Emperor Liang came to the capital, the happiest person besides the old lady was Bao Zhuzhu.

Baozhuzhu doesn't even ride a horse anymore.

After all, how could riding a big horse be as cool as riding on Emperor Liang’s neck?
She raised her little chin and shook it proudly, as proud as a little peacock who relied on the power of another. Don't mention it, how impressive she was!
Emperor Liang took the little one walking through the streets of the capital.

Cui Hu, a guard from Daliang who had only been in the capital for a few days, introduced all the major shops in Da Zhou like the back of his hand, just like a traitor to Liang.

"A hundred steps ahead is the Weiyang Tower where we will fight Loulan to the death. The Weiyang Tower is a century-old brand. It started out as a winery, but unfortunately the boss didn't know how to run a business. He sold too many things on credit and didn't know how to judge people well. He was cheated by his friends and ended up being heavily in debt. He had no choice but to sell the winery."

"Sold it, sold it!"

Baozhuzhu imitates others.

For the sake of making the little guy happy, Emperor Liang did not care about Cui Hu's "traitorous heart".

It's all tears to talk too much. Even the imperial guards he promoted might not know so well about the shops in Liang State.

The three men passed by Weiyang Tower but did not enter.

Cui Hu was confused: "Your Majesty, we...are not here to see Weiyang Tower?"

Emperor Liang gave him an indifferent look.

Cui Hu was tactful: "Your Majesty, please give your orders."

Emperor Liang: "I have finished reading the storybook. Where can I buy a new one?"

Cui Hu: “…”

Half an hour later, Cui Hu walked out of the last study with a deathly pale face, carrying a heavy bag weighing twenty kilograms on his back.

Emperor Liang strolled on the streets of the capital for half a day, observing the customs and practices of the Great Zhou.

Although he believed that Liang's military strength was stronger than that of the Great Zhou, and was confident of his ability to intimidate others, when it came to governing the country, he had to admit that the court of the Great Zhou had a good way.

Whether it is the city streets, shops, markets, peddlers... everything is thriving and well organized.

"I will go back and ask the Great Zhou's Emperor for advice. This will be an unexpected gain from this trip."

Originally I just wanted to meet my biological mother, but who would have thought that I would gain so many insights.

"Great grandfather! Yes!"

Baozhuzhu suddenly stretched out his little hand, pointed at a certain place and said in a milky voice.

"Which one do you want?"

Emperor Liang's eyes followed the direction of the little guy's finger and looked, "Rattle or candied haws?"

Baozhuzhu shook his head.

"So what does Zhao Zhao want?"

Emperor Liang saw no one else except those selling rattles and candied haws.

Baozhuzhu raised his little finger slightly, looking very domineering.

Emperor Liang's gaze also moved upwards and made eye contact with someone sitting on the second floor.

Yu Chenglou, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, was startled.

What a powerful aura!

One old and one young, the older one is like a tyrant, and the younger one... the younger one is a little tyrant.

"I want him!"

Bao Zhuzhu said word by word
Yu Chenglou pointed at himself: "Me?"

Little baby, do you know what you are saying?!

Sir, I am——

Baozhuzhu raised his finger in disdain and moved half an inch to the side.

Yu Chenglou turned his head and looked him up and down: "Mo Yi, she seems to be referring to you."

Mo Yi: "...!!"
