After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 699: Secret Revealed
When Tan'er woke up, she went to Meng Qianqian's room to find her as usual.

"elder sister!"

She pushed open the door and saw the bed was empty. "Hey, where's the person?"

Banxia came out of the small kitchen carrying a lunch box and almost bumped into Tan'er who was turning around to leave.

"Hey, little ancestor, slow down!"

The lid of the food container fell off.

Tan'er caught it quickly and covered Banxia with it gracefully.

Banxia let out a long sigh.

Tan Er asked, "Why are you panicking?"

Banxia glared at her and said angrily, "How many times have I told you not to enter the room of the son-in-law and the young lady casually? What if you see something you shouldn't see..."

The last sentence turned into a quiet mutter.

"What did you see that you shouldn't see?"

Tan Er asked.

Banxia's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly covered her mouth: "You can hear this... It's nothing! Anyway, children should not enter adults' rooms casually!"

Especially early in the morning, the son-in-law and the young lady are so affectionate!
She had accidentally seen him many times, but the young lady was probably unaware, and the son-in-law always waved at her to go away, and she was so embarrassed!

After all, she was already a half-grown maid, at the age to get married, and was also the young lady's maid.

Nanny Li taught her some things so that she could serve the young lady better.

How old is Tan'er?

Tan Er folded her arms, with a chubby face, and said in a very mature manner: "It's not like I've read it! It's in the book, I've read it all!"

Banxia was stunned.

Who the hell would let a kid read this kind of book?!

After bragging, Tan'er turned around gracefully.

"I really want to eat braised pork today!"

She skipped out.

"Braised pork! Braised pork!"

As soon as I skipped to the door, I met Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan who were returning home.

Her eyes lit up, she stopped, and maintained the cute gesture of waving her hands: "Sister! Grand Commander!"

The morning light shone on her tender little face, and her eyes were filled with sunshine.

The remaining fatigue in Meng Qianqian's body disappeared completely in an instant.

She looked at the little girl in front of her tenderly, as if looking at her past self, raised her hand and touched her head.

"So early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Tan Er rubbed her palm with her little head, and said with enjoyment and attachment: "I've slept enough. I miss my sister. Sister, where did you go last night? Why didn't you bring your forehead?"

Meng Qianqian smiled and pinched her soft little face: "I'll take you with me next time."

Tan Er straightened up and said seriously, "It's a deal!"

Meng Qianqian nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's a deal."

Lu Yuan was treated as air.

In this family, your status is precarious.

Used to it.

"I'm going to see my grandfather."

Meng Qianqian said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said, "Grandfather should be fine now. You can accompany Tan'er to eat something first. I'll go over and take a look. If there's anything, someone will call you."

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Tan Er tilted her head and asked.

She was unaware of the crisis that had occurred last night.

Without waiting for Meng Qianqian to speak, Lu Yuan said, "Let's have dinner later and let your sister tell you in detail."

Tan Er grabbed Meng Qianqian's arm and said, "Sister! Let's eat!"

Meng Qianqian smiled helplessly.

She understood that Lu Yuan said this to Tan'er on purpose in order to get her to eat.

She didn't care that much about being hungry.

He always cares about things that she doesn't care about.

She somewhat likes this feeling of being cared for and cherished.

After dinner, Meng Qianqian and Tan'er went to Emperor Liang's courtyard together.

The old lady showed great cherishment for her son who was lost and found again.

She actually held a bowl of rice and wanted to feed it to her son who had already become a great-grandfather!

Emperor Liang's face turned red with embarrassment.

When Lu Yuan entered the room, he raised his eyebrows and hummed.

Emperor Liang was even more embarrassed.

He wanted to "kill his own relatives for the sake of justice" to maintain his image as a great emperor.

Then, Meng Qianqian took Tan'er's little hand and walked into the house.

Lu Yuan seemed to have understood everything from Emperor Liang's eyes. He folded his arms and raised his eyebrows meaningfully at Emperor Liang, as if asking: Do you still want to sacrifice your own relatives for the sake of justice?

Emperor Liang: ...You little bastard, you always take advantage of his weakness.

Her son woke up, and her great-granddaughter and her great-grandson-in-law also came back. The old lady was very satisfied and decided to play mahjong to celebrate.

The four of them happened to sit at a table.

The old lady was prepared to win three houses at one time, and placed her small purse in the most conspicuous place on the table.

Then he raised his chin and opened his cards heroically.

Half an hour later, the old lady's purse was empty.

She looked at the silver ingots piled up like a hill in front of Meng Qianqian, and tears of envy flowed from the corners of her mouth...

Meng Qianqian's family beat three families.

She was also confused.

She didn't mean to.

She played mahjong with her great-grandmother and great-grandfather, intentionally feeding them the cards.

However, for some reason, they couldn't catch what she was feeding them.

They used all their punches on her.

Or you just draw it by yourself and win.

The mother and son were defeated miserably.

Meng Qianqian said awkwardly: "I didn't mean it."

The mother and son said in unison: "I didn't win like this on purpose, what would happen if I did it on purpose?!"

Meng Qianqian blinked innocently.

Lu Yuan lost to his wife, it was just like transferring money from the left hand to the right hand, it didn't matter.

But he was also vaguely aware of a change.

Originally, she had good luck. After all, she was the only one who could withstand Ji Li's bad luck and still have good luck.

But apparently her luck has improved recently.

He touched his chin.

Am I really a lucky guy for my wife?
"His-"

Meng Qianqian took a deep breath.

Lu Yuan asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Meng Qianqian covered her slightly bulging belly and said, "The baby seems to be moving."

The fetal movement was still very slight, but for some reason, the image of the little guy kicking his feet in dissatisfaction flashed through my mind.

What is the little guy dissatisfied with?
The old lady fell asleep on the table while she was fighting.

Tan'er carried her back to Tinglan Garden to rest.

Emperor Liang discussed serious matters with the two men.

Meng Qianqian did not hide the whole process of how she broke the witchcraft.

She was mentally prepared. If the emperor's grandfather asked her where her witchcraft came from, she would say that she had read a book on witchcraft in the temple in Wushan.

Emperor Liang didn't ask.

"Grandfather, are you hiding something from us?"

Lu Yuan spoke frankly.

Emperor Liang said unhappily: "You little bastard, do you know how to speak?" No wonder King Miao always fights with this kid.

He also wanted to beat up his once obedient grandson after his status plummeted!

"Jifeng is gone."

Lu Yuan said.

He noticed it as soon as he entered the yard.

Ji Feng is the most trusted master of the Imperial Palace by my grandfather, and he has been secretly escorting me here all the way.

Last night I left Jifeng in the yard and asked him to guard my grandfather.

Unless the emperor’s grandfather personally ordered him to do so, Ji Feng would never leave.

"What is more important than the safety of your precious grandson?"

Getting Ji Feng away from him is no small matter.

"Grandfather."

Meng Qianqian looked at him eagerly.

Emperor Liang could reject the brat, but he couldn't reject the expectant look of his granddaughter-in-law.

"Do you know why Princess Loulan came to Beijing?"

he asked with a sigh.

Lu Yuan opened his mouth.

Emperor Liang: "I didn't ask you."

I just want to talk to my granddaughter-in-law!
The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched.

Meng Qianqian couldn't help laughing and gently pinched Lu Yuan's fingers on the table.

Lu Yuan held her soft hand, not letting her pull away.

Meng Qianqian coughed lightly and said calmly, "When Ayi Mulan first came to the capital, I thought she came here to avenge her son, but later I found out that she had greater ambitions."

"That prophecy has been circulating among the various princes and royal families in the Western Region for many years. She wants to become the king of the Western Region as predicted."

"The King of Loulan is the one closest to the prophecy. In order to replace him, she even planned to marry into Loulan and get closer to the prophecy as the Princess of Loulan."

A hint of admiration flashed across Emperor Liang's eyes, and he motioned for his granddaughter-in-law to continue.

Meng Qianqian said: "This time she plotted against Grandfather Huang, wanting to sacrifice Grandfather Huang's imperial blood to the gods to complete the witchcraft formation, and also for the prophesied King of the Western Regions."

"But I always feel that she is a little too hasty."

Emperor Liang was quite surprised.

After going through so many overwhelming calculations and events, she was able to keenly capture this subtle abnormality.

You know, if it were anyone else, they might never notice it.

Meng Qianqian looked at Emperor Liang: "Grandfather, Ji Feng and Cui Hu told you that her original choice for blood sacrifice was grandpa."

Although Emperor Liang was reluctant to admit it, he could only nod.

He snorted, "How can the blood of the emperor surnamed Bai be as useful as mine? It's just that he is easier to deal with, and the people of Loulan have to settle for the second best."

Lu Yuan added: "You are the one who got hit."

Emperor Liang: ...Another day when you want to sacrifice your own relatives for the sake of justice.

Meng Qianqian said thoughtfully: "She could have waited a little longer... Of course, it could also be that the opportunity is lost and it will never come again, and I made a wrong estimate."

Emperor Liang said, "You are not wrong in your estimation. She can indeed wait for a more suitable time. Something else must have happened that made her feel that she could not wait any longer."

"Something else?"

Meng Qianqian was puzzled.

Emperor Liang pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know much about the Ten Kingdoms in the Western Regions. I only heard the goddess mention a few things when I went to Wushan to pay a visit to her."

"Oh? What did the goddess say?"

Meng Qianqian asked curiously.

Emperor Liang said, "The first person to fulfill the prophecy of the King of the Western Regions was General Shang Jue of the Shang Dynasty."

Meng Qianqian nodded. She and Lu Yuan already knew about this.

Emperor Liang asked again: "But do you know who calculated his royal aura?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head.

"It's a witch."

Emperor Liang said, "Her witchcraft is even better than the current Loulan witches. She has predicted Shang Jue's fate and is determined to assist Shang Jue. To become the king of the Western Regions as predicted, a witch must help."

"Who is that witch?"

Meng Qianqian had only heard Duan Mingyue mention the prophecy and had never heard of this witch.

Emperor Liang shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know who she is. I only know that the King of Loulan wants to get her, and the princes of the other countries also want to take her for themselves to help themselves become the real king of the Western Regions. The Western Regions have never been a monolithic entity, just because of this prophecy. As long as I get her, she can help me unify the world, so who would be willing to submit to the King of Loulan?"

"The King of Loulan wants her..."

Meng Qianqian chewed on this sentence, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her mind, and a bold guess emerged.

That person...could it be...

Lu Yuan saw Meng Qianqian's shock and suspicion and asked Emperor Liang, "What does this have to do with Ayi Mulan's plan to come to Beijing this time?"

Emperor Liang looked in the direction of Loulan and said, "The goddess once said, 'It is a disaster, it is also a destiny. A person who has both disaster and destiny will appear in the world with a huge secret. Aimulan wants to get that secret, and she wants to find the person who brought disaster even more."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes: "The Loulan wizard calculated that the person with the doom is in the capital. Is Ayi Mulan coming here for this person? What does she want to do?"

Emperor Liang said, "Kill the one who brought disaster upon us, and we will never have any more trouble."
-
Weiyang Tower.

Duan Mingyue waited all night, and at dawn, Xun Wu finally returned.

"You're back."

He spoke.

Duan Wenliang dozed off on the table. When he heard his fourth brother's words, he sat up with a start: "Did he come back? Did he come back? How did it go? Did the Governor's Office win or lose? Was Emperor Liang's witchcraft broken? Did he die? No way, no way?"

Xun Wu: "You've become more and more like that chicken lately."

Duan Wenliang: “…”

Duan Mingyue's eyes wandered over Xun Wu: "Your clothes are neat and tidy, but you didn't make a move?"

Xun Wu said: "I didn't have a chance to do anything. They solved it themselves."

Chen Long split the mountains and seas with one sword, and he almost became the mountains and seas under his sword.

He narrated what happened.

"They should have known that I was following them in secret, but they didn't care."

"You have no ill intentions, so they naturally don't need to care. But, are you sure it was Meng Qianqian who broke the formation?"

"is her."

Xun Wu said with certainty.

Duan Mingyue frowned: "This is troublesome."

Duan Wenliang asked in confusion: "She has already broken the formation, what's the trouble?"

Duan Mingyue said: "It's only because the formation is broken that there will be trouble. She is the only one who can compete with the Loulan wizard. The Princess of Loulan will not let her go. I was wrong. Why didn't I think of this?"

Duan Wenliang was confused: "What is it, Fourth Brother?"

"Formation... The purpose of this formation from the beginning was not to sacrifice the emperor's blood. Or rather, sacrificing the emperor's blood was not the only purpose. It was just to see if it would succeed. If it failed, there was still the Miao King."

"Fourth brother, what are you saying? Old Five, can you understand?"

The more Duan Wenliang listened, the more confused he became.

Xun Wu thought for a moment and said, "I can understand, but I don't know what exactly you mean, brother."

Duan Mingyue clenched her fists: "The Loulan wizard wants to use this formation to find that person and then kill her."

He gasped, then exhaled in sudden realization.

"It turned out to be her...it turned out to be her...why didn't I think of it earlier..."

Duan Wenliang's face was full of black lines: "Fourth brother, you are so strange tonight... It's fine that you and Old Five are hiding a secret from me, but now you don't even let me understand what you are saying. Am I still your real brother?"

Duan Mingyue said to Xun Wu: "Xun Wu, do you remember what I told you about the person I want to protect?"

"Is it Tan'er?"

Xun Wu asked.

Duan Wenliang's body trembled: "What are you doing, Fourth Brother? Why are you protecting that little girl?"

Duan Mingyue smiled and said, "There is another one. I found her so late."

Xun Wu asked calmly, "What do you want to do, brother?"

Duan Mingyue's eyes showed a rare solemnity and murderous intent: "I will kill anyone who touches her!"

"Xun Wu, it's time for the Shadow Guards you secretly trained to go out."

"Brother wants to--"

"Kill, Ayimulan!"
