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

She must stay in the palace, take control of the power as soon as possible, and then find a father-in-law to have children.

As for Ye Lianyi, who holds real power as the Marquis of the Northwest, it is unlikely that he will be her face.

If she rejects Ye Lianyi now, will it make him think that Meng Wenyao doesn't want to marry because she doesn't like his bloodline?

Unable to find a suitable excuse, Meng Wenyao could only laugh and said: "What a coincidence, I, like you, have no intention of getting married. Do you think I am forcing you to get married, so you deliberately used my begging to marry me to make me I understand that you don’t want to marry a wife. Now that I know it, I won’t force you in the future. It’s getting late, so you can go back.”

After saying that, Meng Wenyao yawned and signaled Ye Lianyi to leave quickly because she was sleepy.

Unexpectedly, this man became stubborn again and stared at Meng Wenyao without moving.

Ye Lianyi felt that he had never been so nervous before when he went to the battlefield and faced thousands of troops. He lost the battle and only received a knife. Eighteen years later, he was a good man again.

Now waiting for Meng Wenyao's answer, a knife is stabbing his heart every moment.

"Does the princess not want to marry, or does she not want to marry a minor minister?"

Meng Hulu suddenly asked about the key point, and Meng Wenyao replied with a promise: "I don't want to marry, it's not that I don't want to marry you."

"I understand."

After saying that, Meng Hulu turned around and walked away. Did he really understand? Meng Wenyao scratched her hair in confusion. Forget it, Ye Lianyi's marriage is not the priority now. She wants to take advantage of the entanglement between Ning Qinghan, Meng Mingxuan and Lin Jiaojiao to quickly reorganize the power in the court.

After a few days of this, Ning Qinghan finally figured out why Meng Mingxuan secretly left the palace every day. When he heard the report from the visitor, Ning Qinghan asked three or four times with uncertainty.

"Did you read that correctly?"

It was Lin Jiaojiao, her innocent cousin, who seduced the emperor. How could this be possible?

She asked people to inquire about the story inside, and finally understood the truth of the matter. The two had hooked up since hunting in the palace.

Ning Qing was trembling with coldness. Lin Jiaojiao was not such a scheming person. Meng Wenyao must have been involved in this.

Since when did Meng Wenyao, who was as innocent as Lin Jiaojiao, plot against her like this?

It started in the imperial study room when reviewing memorials. Meng Wenyao used to have a headache when looking at books, but now she can stay in the imperial study room all day long to process memorials.

Ning Qinghan clenched her palms tightly and dug her nails into her palms. She was completely unaware that Meng Wenyao would stand opposite her.

First deal with Lin Jiaojiao, and then deal with Meng Wenyao, Ning Qinghan thought, and issued a series of orders.

But overnight, rumors spread wildly in the capital that Lin Jiaojiao had an affair with a wild man and was no longer innocent, so the Marquis of the Northwest broke off the engagement.

Meng Mingxuan was so angry that he almost overturned the imperial study room and said angrily: "I will issue an order immediately. I want Jiaojiao to enter the palace tomorrow. Let's see who dares to say that Jiaojiao is hanging out with a wild man."

Meng Wenyao knew full well that this was a rumor spread by Ning Qinghan. This rumor was not to prevent Lin Jiaojiao from entering the palace, but to ruin Lin Jiaojiao's reputation.

If Meng Mingxuan insists on letting Lin Jiaojiao enter the palace at this time, everyone will easily think of who the wild man in the rumors is. From now on, everyone will either say that Lin Jiaojiao seduces the emperor, or that Meng Mingxuan secretly leaves the palace to be with his ministers because of his lust. Female private meeting.

Unless Lin Jiaojiao gets married in a low-key manner, she will never have a clean past in the future. Ning Qinghan must know exactly how lethal this sewage is to women.

Therefore, before Lin Jiaojiao clears her reputation, it is really not a wise move to make her a concubine. Not only will it not save Lin Jiaojiao's reputation, it will also drag Meng Mingxuan into trouble.

"Brother Emperor, if it is a rumor, it must have a source. Brother Emperor, you should first find out the truth of the matter and give Jiaojiao a clean reputation, and then declare that because of this matter, Jiaojiao has been wronged, and then let her enter the palace. To appease her, this will also stop Youyou's mouth."

The furious Meng Mingxuan finally calmed down after hearing this.

"I am confused because of my anger. If I let Jiaojiao enter the palace at this time, wouldn't it just confirm the rumors? I will let people go and investigate. I must find out who is talking behind my back."

"Brother, please ask the Marquis of Northwest to investigate. He does not belong to any faction in the capital, and he can be impartial."

Meng Mingxuan nodded, and he ordered people to call Ye Lianyi into the imperial study room, and said: "Send additional manpower immediately to investigate the origin of the rumors in the capital, and be sure to find the mastermind as soon as possible."

"Yes."

When Ye Lianyi lowered his head to accept the order, he saw Meng Wenyao's gesture and knew it was a code for an appointment in the evening.

As night fell, Meng Wenyao looked out the window absently, quietly waiting for Ye Lianyi's arrival.

"I see you, princess."

A male voice sounded from behind, and Meng Wenyao slowly withdrew his consciousness and said tiredly: "Get up, the first thing is to find a few people to pretend to be the Ning family, or directly find a few people who have been sold by the Ning family to spread the news in the capital. Rumors, tell more about Lin Jiaojiao's private things to make the rumors more real.

After everyone knows about the rumor, you take action to catch the person who spread the rumor. Tomorrow you will report to the emperor the mastermind behind the rumor. I hope it is the Ning family, and there are all witnesses and material evidence. Can you do it? "

"It can be done."

After pondering for a while, Meng Wenyao looked at the chair next to her and said, "Sit down, I will tell you some private things about Lin Jiaojiao. When the time comes, you will have someone spread the word."

After a while, the two of them discussed how to spread the rumors and close the network tomorrow. Meng Wenyao took a piece of paper.

"I've seen your secret, and there are a few people who can't be kept here. Take a look, find evidence of their crimes, and let people expose them. If you can't find them, they'll be dealt with privately."

Ye Lianyi looked at the list in his hand and hesitated for a moment, wondering what Meng Wenyao was going to do.

"Want to know what I am doing?"

Nodding silently, Ye Lianyi repeated: "Yes."

Meng Wenyao looked up at the moon again. The Huns attacked in the previous life. These were the people who abandoned the city and surrendered. They held military power but could not protect the people, so they were useless.

"The army has been starved of money for many times, and the national treasury has become increasingly difficult in recent years. I want to make changes to the personnel arrangements in the army. If these people are not eliminated at this time, they will become a serious problem."

"I accept the decree."

After explaining this matter, Meng Wenyao thought that Meng Mingxuan must be very irritable these days because of Lin Jiaojiao's incident, so she took this opportunity to arrange manpower.

"There will be some turmoil in the court next. You should investigate all the new scholars from last year. I need to select some people. I need people."

"Yes."

"Then there is Mr. Lao, please leave slowly without seeing me off."

Meng Wenyao turned her head to look at Ye Lianyi, who was also looking at her blankly. For a moment, Ye Lianyi's lips moved and she uttered: "Princess."

"Ok?"

"The princess doesn't want to leave the palace to get married, but she doesn't feel comfortable leaving the government to the emperor?"
