A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 982 Take it all down
Chongyi and Mammy didn't understand it for a while, so they followed Meng Yan back and forth between the corridor and the courtyard several times.

Then Chongyi Yuemo also found something unusual and thoughtful.

Finally, Meng Yan stopped by a pillar beside a corridor.

On the corridor, there were maids from the palace passing by gracefully back and forth, holding trays of fruit and snacks.

Meng Yan's expression was unpredictable, and all the things she had been unable to figure out all the time suddenly became clear.

She couldn't help laughing, and murmured to herself: "Probably this is the so-called village with hidden willows and bright flowers." Then she whispered to Chongyi: "Chongyi, I want you to do something, you must hurry up .”

It just so happened that King Shou would also entertain guests today, and it was the time when he had no time to spare.

Chongyi replied: "Please tell me, Princess."

Afterwards, before the luncheon in Shouwang Mansion started, Meng Yan brought Chongyi and Nanny to leave the mansion.

Concubine Shou pretended to keep one or two away, and said: "The banquet is about to start, and the concubine should come back after lunch."

Meng Yan said, "No, my child is still at home waiting for me to go back and feed him."

Concubine Shou paused for a moment, thinking that she was probably going to fall ill, so how could she dare to keep her for a while.

Meng Yan got into the carriage, and Chongyi drove back to the mansion.The Guards had no choice but to go back together.

King Shou knew that Meng Yan was here today, but he had to receive the officials who came to the banquet, so he couldn't get away for a while, so he was watched secretly.

But the people who were watching were also confused, and when they came back, they whispered in King Shou's ear: "Princess Yin Wu was running around in the garden like a headless fly. Later, she said she wanted to go home to feed the children, and left again. gone."

Anyone who behaved like this would look like a lunatic.

King Shou couldn't figure it out for a while, but just as someone else was talking to him, he had no choice but to respond with a smile, and at the same time told the people around him: "Let the imperial guards carefully watch over the Palace of Prince Yin Wu."

"Yes."

***
After Meng Yan returned to the palace, she took Chongyi and went straight to the backyard.

She had thought carefully in the carriage just now, and at this moment said seriously to Chongyi: "From today onwards, you will leave my side."

Chongyi was stunned, "Princess?"

Meng Yan said: "Take your people and leave the palace, and never appear beside me in front of people at will." She walked and said, "I'm not sure how King Shou is going to go next, but I need A helper is out to take care of me. If I'm in prison, you must not be in the same prison as me, you know?"

Chongyi pursed her lips, looking a little struggling.She said: "But I have to stay and protect the princess."

Meng Yan said: "I can protect myself. Until the prince's matter is settled, I will be fine."

Finally Chongyi said: "I know."

Meng Yan said: "Go, go and do what I entrusted to you."

After Chongyi left, there was no one close to Meng Yan to accompany her.But she knows she's not alone.

As expected, things only went from bad to worse.

A few days later, the imperial guards rushed into the palace and took all the people in the palace into prison.

As the concubine of Yin Wu, Meng Yan was the first to bear the brunt.

She felt that sending Chongyi away two days ago was really the right thing to do.

Unexpectedly, there are very few people in the palace.Except for the princess, there are only housekeepers and some nuns left, totaling no more than a dozen or 20 people.

The Imperial Guard asked, "Where are the rest of the palace?"

Meng Yan was puzzled and said: "Everyone has been guarding the gate of my palace, have you ever seen anyone who missed it? In the past, my prince didn't have many people around, and I was used to living a hard life in the countryside since I was a child." , and don’t need many servants, so that’s all.”

Prince Yin Wu's Mansion rarely opened its doors to welcome guests, so no one knew about the personnel inside.Even if the Imperial Guard finds out that someone is missing, they will go and catch them if they can.

Meng Yan and the housekeeper went to the prison of Dali Temple and were detained separately.Yan Shouzhen asked the jailer to lock the prison door, and said: "I have wronged the princess first, as soon as King Wu of Yin returns to Beijing, I believe everything can be easily solved."

Then Yan Shouzhen waved his hands to make the jailers retreat.

Meng Yan asked, "Is there any news from King Wu of Yin?"

Yan Shouzhen shook his head, and said: "It is precisely because King Yin Wu did not respond that the emperor issued an order to seize the whole palace." He continued with a low voice, "The emperor learned that King Yin Wu has half of Jinlin blood, so he issued an order to call King Yin Wu hurried back to Beijing. However, according to reports, King Yin Wu is still wandering north of the northern border, refusing to return to the camp, let alone return to Beijing."

Meng Yan frowned and said: "This news must be wrong. Someone spread the news falsely. If you want to know the truth, you must send someone trustworthy to go to the northern border to find out."

Yan Shouzhen said: "I will send people to rush to the northern border later. Don't worry, Wangfei, the chief assistant has already entered the palace to have an audience, and Wangfei will stay in Dali Temple for the time being without any danger."

Then when Yan Shouzhen was about to leave, Meng Yan suddenly said, "Lord Yan."

Yan Shouzhen looked back and said, "What else does the princess want?"

Meng Yan was sitting cross-legged in the prison, even though she was caught in the prison, she did not appear to be in the least bit downcast.She has a calm demeanor, but under this weak appearance, there is a kind of majesty.

Meng Yan sized him up for a moment, then said, "Can I trust Mrs. Yan?"

Yan Shouzhen bowed and said: "If the concubine has an account, the officials will definitely live up to the entrustment of the concubine. Mrs. Xia has explained, and the officials will definitely take care of it with all their strength."

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, then his thoughts turned, and the darkness in his eyes floated.

Meng Yan hooked her lips vaguely, and said: "With Lord Yan's words, things will be much easier to handle. There is indeed one thing that must be done by Lord Yan."

***
The emperor ordered Yin Wu Wang to return to Beijing quickly, but Yin Wu Wang did not return.And according to the battle report he got, King Wu of Yin never returned to the camp of the army in the north.

The emperor was really annoyed, or rather panicked in his heart.The situation he was most worried about was that King Wu of Yin would seek refuge with Jin Lin, which in turn would be detrimental to Great Yin.

So the emperor immediately ordered to take down the upper and lower palaces of King Yin Wu, and then issued a second decree, asking King Yin Wu to return to Beijing.

After Xu Shoufu heard the news, he hurried to see him.

The fact that King Yin Wu has half of Jin Lin's blood can no longer be concealed.The emperor did not expect that this matter was gradually spreading among the people.

Xu Shoufu remonstrated: "Your Majesty, before King Wu of Yin returns to the court, your Majesty should not act rashly and imprison the whole palace."

The emperor was very annoyed, and said: "I have issued a decree, but he resisted and refused to obey it. If he never returns, will I continue to be so passive? I took down all the people in his palace to force him to return!"

Xu Shoufu shook his head and said: "But if King Yin Wu is not restrained by this, what should we do? The emperor's move will only anger him, and push him to Jin Lin's side instead!"

The emperor had a gloomy face and was speechless for a moment.
