Ever since he met Meng Ying, Zhuo Yao's mind had been tense. Now that he was grabbed by her, his face was filled with shock, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhi secretly pointed at the person staring at her, "Who is he? Why is he always staring at me?"

Zhuo Yao didn't know them either, but he could roughly judge from the age, seating position, clothing, and number of people that they were the two forces from Southeast Qiongzhou and Jingdi Nanyang.

Bai Zhi pointed out that the man was sitting behind the leader. He didn't look friendly. Zhuo Yao could only guess that they were forces from the southeast. "Xu is the recently crowned Southeast King Lin Ling and his military governor, Wu Yong."

"Wu Yong?" Bai Zhi thought the name sounded smooth, but also a little strange, "Have I known him before?"

"We know each other." Zhuo Yao remembered that she had mentioned Wu Yong when she was on the desert island.

Bai Zhi frowned slightly. She seemed to have stayed in Qiongzhou before. Zhou Li also said that there was a famous woman in Qiongzhou named Bai Lianhua, and Zhuo Yao also called her Bai Lianhua. It didn't sound very real before, but now that she was targeted by that man, she felt like it was real.

Ok……

That famous slut Bai Lianhua couldn't really be her, could she?

Although Zhou Li praised this woman, her reputation was really unpleasant!

It even made her wonder if she was having an affair with the man who was staring at her.

While thinking about it, he felt a little embarrassed on his face and hurriedly avoided this look.

As soon as he avoided this gaze, he met another gaze.

He was an old man with gray hair neatly tied up. He looked at him politely, unlike Wu's anxious gaze.

The other party realized that they were looking at each other, showed a polite smile, bowed to Bai Zhi, and nodded slightly.

Bai Zhi also returned a salute to the other party, and then asked Zhuo Yao in a low voice, "Where are they?"

The corner of Zhuo Yao's mouth twitched, "Meng from Nanyang in Jingdi is the father and eldest brother of that pretty boy. I have only met Meng San and Meng Si, and they look very different."

As soon as he said pretty girl, Bai Zhi understood. She observed them from time to time, and saw that Meng Wenjing's father and eldest brother were also observing her from time to time, and she sighed after watching them.

Bai Zhi could roughly guess what they were talking about, so she stopped asking for trouble and simply talked to Zhuo Yao about the power of the people in the scene, "Their family is very powerful in the local area?"

She was asking about Meng Wenjing's family.

Zhuo Yao also answered truthfully, "Well, his family secretly produced a lot of military supplies for the Hucheng Army."

"Did Boss Lu contact them to help you establish the Tiger City Army?" Bai Zhi was a little curious.

"It is."

"So does this army belong to you or Boss Lu?"

This question made Zhuo Yao fall silent. He turned to look at Meng Ying beside Emperor Jingde with a solemn expression, "It's mine, the soldiers only recognize generals, but if I can't support them, it's another matter. "

Bai Zhi followed his gaze and roughly understood what he meant. Zhuo Yao still had absolute say in the Hucheng Army. Even if Boss Lu was working for Meng Ying, he could not directly command the army.

Bai Zhi felt a little reassured. Even if she couldn't hug Meng Ying's thigh, her tanning wouldn't be alone.

The banquet was always lively. Meng Ying said a few words during the entire banquet, and no one talked about anything serious. It was all empty compliments.

Everyone is wary of each other.

Bai Zhi sat in the middle of the field, feeling that these people were all being scheming, and there was an undercurrent surging.

Of course, they are all powerful people, aristocratic families, and warlords from all over the world. If they can cooperate and quell the war, it may not be empty talk.

And the one who maintained all this was Meng Ying sitting next to the emperor. Everyone exchanged cups with him, except Zhuo Yao and Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi looked at the emperor sitting in the center, her mouth slightly slanted. Although she had probably heard that the emperor was ill before, but now that she saw Bai Zhi, she knew that he was suffering from a stroke.

An emperor who had suffered a stroke could no longer express himself clearly, and his hands and feet were no longer flexible. He relied on others to feed him soup and wine, and even issued edicts through the mouth of Meng Ying.

Bai Zhi felt inexplicably emotional.

She thought, if this emperor announced his abdication, what would the world be like today?

Perhaps the Mei family will rely on their huge military strength to push Meng Ying to the throne, and Meng Ying becomes the emperor. Then Meng Jing is the only candidate for the prince now.

Or if Mei Boyang becomes the emperor, Bai Zhi will know from his contemptuous words at the beginning that he always thinks that he is Meng Ying's woman and Meng Jing's mother, but she is just a woman. He probably won't respect the political ideas he puts forward.

Bai Zhi would never want to see such a result, not to mention that she still had a grudge against Mei Shaohong.

It was difficult to choose any way. If she could, she would even hope that Zhuo Yao would be the emperor, so that she could continue her idea of ​​​​Danning.

It seems that everyone is thinking about this matter like her, who will be the emperor?

This made the atmosphere of the banquet strange and undercurrent.

So, she silently prayed that the emperor who had suffered a stroke could live well.

She glanced over unconsciously, and met the queen's eyes, and then she saw the queen who still had charm... winking at her?

Bai Zhi even suspected that she was wrong. She quickly leaned into Zhuo Yao's ear and whispered, "I used to have a good relationship with the Queen?"

Zhuo Yao had been nervous about whether she still had feelings for Meng Ying, but she always asked questions as if nothing was wrong. This made him relax a lot, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "It's okay, I heard it's good. "

"Oh! That's good!" Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily at Zhuo Yao, "She just gave me a wink, I thought I was wrong!"

"What is... winking eyes?" Zhuo Yao didn't understand the meaning of this word.

Bai Zhi explained it to him naturally, and also winked at Zhuo Yao, making Zhuo Yao's eyebrows widen.

However, all these intimate actions were sour in Meng Ying's eyes, and humiliating in Mei Boyang's eyes.

The Mei family treats women with a strong symbolic attribute. This is the tradition and belief of the Mei family.

They would never tolerate a maid serving two husbands, let alone a young boy from the Zhuo family.

Mei Boyang waved to Meng Jing. At that time, Meng Jingzheng and Meng Xi were building something like building blocks on the table. This was the favorite toy of the uncle and nephew recently.

Meng Jing ran over obediently, and Mei Boyang tore a leg of mutton to him and asked, "Jing'er, do you want a mother-in-law?"

When Meng Jing was asked this question, he remembered that he got a sister today. It was not that important to him whether he wanted a mother, but he wanted a sister. He hesitated and asked, "If you have a mother, will you have a baby?" Brothers and sisters?”

"Of course! You can have as many as you want!" Mei Boyang teased him.

"Of course!" Meng Ying replied innocently.

Mei Boyang suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter silenced everyone around him, "Then uncle will take it back for you!"

The hall fell silent instantly. They all heard this sentence and didn't know what he wanted to take back?

In an instant, everyone held their breath.

Bai Zhi looked at Meng Jing in Mei Boyang's arms and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, the next words Mei Boyang spoke made her feet feel cold and her mind went blank.

Mei Boyang turned to Emperor Jingde and said loudly, "Your Majesty! My nephew was imprisoned by the rebels a few years ago. Although the world thought he was dead, Princess Ning not only did not find any trace of him, nor did she attend the funeral for her husband, she went to another place. Marrying someone else! If something like this happens to an ordinary person, you have to take off your clothes and parade around! As for this kid from the Zhuo family, why should you pay the price for not tarnishing the dignity of the royal family? reason?"

These words really made everyone present afraid to take a breath, including Meng Ying.
