The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Meng Wenyao was lying on the bed eating and sleeping these days, listening to Huazhi telling all kinds of rumors about the palace and outside the palace, which made her life comfortable.

After several days of investigation, Lin Shuang'er's parentage was revealed. Her grandfather and father had both participated in rebellion, and she was charged as a priest when she was ten years old.

An Changsheng and her childhood sweetheart couldn't stay together forever due to family changes, so they eloped to the sandbank together.

Originally, if Lin Shuang'er stayed in the backyard peacefully and didn't come out, after so many years and the girl's transformation, not many people would recognize her.

Who would have thought that Lin Shuang'er was not willing to just be a concubine, and had to come out to find a way out for herself, so she ended up in the sky prison.

In the morning, the Minister of Punishment detailed the sins of Lin Shuang'er's grandfather and father. Now that she was the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an, the Marquis of Wu'an could not escape the charge of harboring criminals.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment reported to the emperor: "The Marquis of Wu'an harbored imperial criminals and allowed his common wife to mutilate his legitimate wife and legitimate son. This is a heinous crime. The whole family should be beheaded and the three tribes should be exiled to serve as a warning to others."

Many people went to see Meng Shangshu. He was the one who suffered in this matter and he had the most say.

Meng Shangshu was in a dilemma. He did not want to kill everyone for the life-saving grace of Marquis Wu'an, and his gentle and elegant character could not make him agree to a too severe punishment.

No matter how much he wanted to kill Wu'anhou's family, he could not say it out loud: "Your Majesty, these are all sins committed by Lin and An Changsheng. Wu'anhou is dead, so why not let the women and children in the mansion go and only punish the principal?" The person has recovered."

When the emperor heard Meng Shangshu's remarks, his face slowly turned cold. He was not sure whether this was what Meng Shangshu meant or what Meng Wenyao had entrusted to Meng Shangshu.

After he left the court, he rushed to the Mingguang Palace without stopping, trying to confirm whether Meng Wenyao had changed his mind and started to protect An Changsheng again.

When I arrived at the entrance of the palace, I happened to meet Mrs. Meng who was out. When I learned that Meng Wenyao had just fallen asleep, I wanted to test Meng Wenyao's intentions from Mrs. Meng.

He told everyone his opinions on the handling of Wu'an Hou Mansion that morning, and asked Madam Meng: "How do you think Madam should handle it?"

Mrs. Meng wanted to cut Wu'an Hou's mansion into pieces before, but now! After her daughter had an affair, she felt guilty. A few days ago, she went to Wu'an Hou's house to move the dowry, and she even moved half of the house. She felt guilty all the time.

"My wife doesn't understand government affairs. I just feel that women and children are pitiful. I hope the emperor can give me a lighter punishment. I think my wife feels the same way."

Mrs. Meng said this just to set up the image of Meng Wenyao pitying the young in the Emperor's eyes. Unexpectedly, after she said this, the Emperor was not only unhappy, but his face turned darker, and he turned around and left without even entering the inner room.

The nanny who was inquiring around Mingguang Hall immediately came to Zhaoyang Hall to report to the Queen.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor wants to punish the Marquis Wu'an Mansion. Both Master Meng and Mrs. Meng are begging the Emperor for mercy."

The queen caressed Yu Ruyi and thought about what happened in the past few days. The emperor went to Mingguang Hall to visit Meng Wenyao many times every day and stayed overnight every night.

She knew that Meng Wenyao could not sleep with her now, but the way the emperor valued Meng Wenyao made her very vigilant. The emperor had never been so interested in a woman. This was too abnormal.

The nuns around her all advised her that the emperor was trying to win over Meng Shangshu so that when the emperor wanted to appoint the prince as the crown prince in the future, Meng Shangshu would not take the lead in opposing it.

Scholars all over the world follow the Meng family. In the past few years, the emperor has said more than once that he wanted to adopt the crown prince, but he was blocked by Taifu Meng, Meng Shangshu and his son, together with the court officials.

Apart from wooing the Meng family, the queen really couldn't figure out why the emperor valued Meng Wenyao. The queen could only comfort herself by thinking that the emperor's abnormal behavior was to pave the way for becoming the prince.

"How did the emperor look after hearing the Meng family's plea?"

Mammy covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The emperor's face is so terrible. The Meng family is also confused. Their daughters have been sent to the palace, and they still defend their ex-husband's family. What man can be happy?"

The queen smiled and said nothing. The more stupid the Meng family was, the happier she was. She was afraid that the Meng family was not stupid enough.

Now that Meng Wenyao is still in confinement, it is not convenient for her to take action. After all, she is the most suspicious now. It is better to find a concubine to find out. The queen is thinking about which concubine is more suitable.

In the Imperial Study Room, the emperor thought that Meng Shangshu and his wife both defended the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and sensitively thought that this was Meng Wenyao's intention. He was heartbroken and unbearable. Is An Changsheng more important in Meng Wenyao's heart?

He was unwilling to give in, he couldn't bear it, and after spending a whole morning in the imperial study room like a trapped animal, he couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to ask Meng Wenyao himself why he was so disrespectful to his feelings.

In fact, after the emperor left with a dark face, Mrs. Meng felt that she had said the wrong thing. He didn't know the emperor, his preferences, or what he said that made him unhappy. When Meng Wenyao woke up, she immediately told him Emperor Meng Wenyao’s reaction.

Meng Wenyao smiled confidently, the emperor was probably jealous again.

During lunch, the emperor came over, looking calm. He coaxed Meng Wenyao to eat more with his gentle whispers as always. When the two of them finished their lunch, the emperor pretended to be casual and said: "Then the Lin family has committed a serious crime of rebellion. , she herself escaped from the Jiaoshifang privately, Wu'anhou Mansion is now guilty of the death penalty of harboring criminals, some people suggested that I should be lenient and spare the women and children of Wuanhou Mansion, what do Yao'er think?"

Meng Wenyao's eyes were red, tears were about to fall, and she said aggrievedly: "The emperor agrees?"

"not yet."

"How can we get a lighter punishment for hiding criminals in the Marquis Wu'an Mansion? Will everyone be allowed to hide criminals in the future? Where does this put the court law?

Then Mrs. Lin harmed my child. Her child is the descendant of a criminal. How can she still be alive in the world? The person who said this is hard-hearted. The emperor also asked him to lose his child to see if he can still be like this. Yun Danfeng said lightly that he would be given a lighter punishment..."

The emperor opened his mouth several times to say, "It is your father and mother who said this, but Meng Wenyao looked excited and spoke very fast, giving him no chance to interrupt."

After Meng Wenyao finished speaking, he said angrily: "The person who said this must have an old relationship with the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. The Emperor must investigate strictly and never let go of a suspicious person. This person has a heart to be punished and must not be spared lightly. "

The emperor couldn't hide the joy in his heart. He hugged Meng Wenyao and coaxed: "Okay, I know everything. I will never let anyone go. Stop crying, take good care of yourself, and give me another child, okay? "

"Even if he is born again, he won't be the same child again..."

Meng Wenyao cried and fussed, tossing the emperor so much that he fell asleep.

The emperor looked at Meng Wenyao's tear-stained cheeks, which seemed to have grown some flesh, but she was always in a bad mood, which was very worrying.

How can she take good care of herself if she is so sad and sad? The Wu'an Hou Mansion must deal with it as soon as possible so that she can feel at ease as soon as possible.
