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

Shaking Chu Yuanfeng's hand away violently, Meng Wenyao raised her feet and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, the door was pushed open with great force. Meng Wenyao was so frightened that she stepped back and was hugged by Chu Yuanfeng. .

Before she could break free from Chu Yuanfeng's arms, someone said: "There's big news in the capital today. I went to your house to find you. They said you were here for dinner. Why did you come out to inquire about the news? ?”

While talking, Lin Shuyang sat at the dinner table minding his own business, drank a glass of wine and asked, "What did you find out?"

Meng Wenyao and Chu Yuanfeng looked at each other, where are they? The two of them just went out to have a meal and inquire about any news.

Seeing the reactions of the two people, Lin Shuyang was surprised and said: "You don't know?"

The two nodded tacitly, which suddenly aroused Lin Shuyang's gossip. He started to talk with great interest: "Let me tell you, that Mr. Liu has been lingering in Baihua Building for many days without entering the house. I heard that he came back last night. Stayed at home for one night, guess what happened?"

Meng Wenyao and Chu Yuanfeng opened their eyes in unison, expressing doubts.

"Dead, he died unexpectedly. I heard that Mr. Liu was planning to hire a teacher for him to study, and Mrs. Liu was about to tell him that he didn't have a wife, but he died unexpectedly. It's really retribution."

She actually died at home. Meng Wenyao lowered her head slightly. The poison she gave to Yao's mother seemed to have been eaten by Mr. Liu as she wished. She thought that Mr. Liu would die in Baihua Building, so that Baihua Building would be closed down by the government. Many sisters there can be rescued.

Now Mr. Liu died at home. Didn't Yao's mother escape the disaster? It's really depressing.

"People die every day in the capital, so why is it strange that he died?"

Chu Yuanfeng answered the question in a nonchalant manner. Chu Yuanfeng helped Meng Wenyao sit down and hesitated for a moment. Meng Wenyao decided to listen to Lin Shuyang's gossip before deciding whether to stay or go.

"It's nothing to be dead. It's just that the way he died was so strange. I heard that his lower body was covered with blood. Several imperial doctors were called over to take a look. It was found that Mr. Liu had taken a large amount of aphrodisiacs before his death. No, Liu The Minister has sent people to seal Baihua Tower."

This is strange. Meng Wenyao remembered that the poison she gave caused people to die from abdominal pain. It was not an aphrodisiac at all. Could someone else be harming Young Master Liu?

No, aphrodisiacs don't kill people. Most likely, Mr. Liu was inhumane during those days and took a lot of aphrodisiacs. After he was poisoned by Meng Wenyao, the aphrodisiacs in his blood were detected by the imperial doctor.

I didn't expect that even if I died at home, Baihualou would be involved. It's true that evil comes with evil consequences. Now Yao's mother can't run away no matter what.

"It doesn't matter if it's sealed. Many women in that building who were trafficked can be rescued now."

Meng Wenyao almost whispered, she wanted to know if others would be implicated.

"It was originally like this, but because Mr. Liu died from taking aphrodisiacs, I heard that any woman who had served him would be called over for questioning one by one, so I came to you. Fortunately, you came from Baihualou that night You have escaped, otherwise you will be caught now. Keep a low profile these days and don't be found out by the people from the Ministry of Punishment. According to Liu Shangshu's crazy behavior after losing his son, if I know that you have also served Mr. Liu, I'm afraid... If the Prince of Nan'an comes forward, you have to go to the Yamen."

After hearing this, Meng Wenyao couldn't react for a long time. It was really baffling how she became a suspect in a blink of an eye.

"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, no one dares to touch you. Besides, if you escaped that night, I would have cut off all your escape routes and no one would be able to find you."

Meng Wenyao was completely dumbfounded. Just now, she wanted to leave Nan'an Prince's Mansion in frustration. Now it seemed that she could no longer do it. What if she was caught when she went out? After all, she had to wait until Master Liu's case was understood before she could leave.

So inexplicably, Meng Wenyao returned to the palace and continued to work with Chu Yuanfeng.

In the main courtyard of the palace, the princess's niece Cao Qinglian held the princess's arm and said coquettishly: "Auntie, please quickly bring my cousin's wife over to see you. You used to send so many people to your cousin, and he saw it." No, just look at that girl and you’ll know who my cousin likes, and you’ll be able to fall in love with her in the future.”

"Lian'er, no matter how much your cousin likes that girl, she is just a common roommate and a concubine in the future. You don't need to spend your time on that kind of person, it's not worth it.

This year your cousin comes back from Northern Xinjiang. The prince has said that the marriage must be finalized this year. What you should pay attention to are the ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, such as the granddaughter of Taifu Xu and the daughter of Wei Shangshu. "

After speaking, the princess patted Cao Qinglian's hand to express comfort.

Sorry to have her little thoughts revealed by the princess, Cao Qinglian said embarrassedly: "I just want my aunt to see the girl's appearance and conduct, so that she can choose the prince's wife for my cousin in the future, and she will know how to choose her, so that my cousin can be satisfied."

"Lian'er, you are wrong again. No matter how much your cousin likes that girl, he will only give her the status of a concubine. The position of the future mistress of the Nan'an Palace is not just what your cousin likes. What kind of person, first of all, it must be worthy of the lintel of Nan'an Prince's Palace, secondly, it must be good in character and morals, and secondly, appearance, talent and so on."

After being hit repeatedly, Cao Qinglian couldn't help but her eyes became red. She whispered: "Aunt, I just like my cousin. Do you think I can do it?"

Looking at her niece's appearance, the princess shook her head and sighed: "The lintel of our house is too low."

"But my aunt will marry the prince."

"Auntie, I was filling in a house, but now I'm choosing a first wife for the prince. This is different."

Tears fell down with a snap sound. Cao Qinglian wiped away her tears and said stubbornly: "Auntie, is it impossible for me to marry my cousin in this life?"

Watching the butterflies flying freely in the yard, the princess said quietly: "Lian'er, besides looking noble, this palace may not be a good place to go. Why do you keep staring at the prince?"

"I either fall in love with the noble status of the prince, or I like my cousin as a person."

"It's really touching."

I don't know whether it was approval or ridicule. After speaking, the princess smiled and comforted: "Everyone has their own way to go. If you really want to be the prince's wife, there is nothing you can do."

"What can I do?" Cao Qinglian grabbed the princess's hand and asked excitedly.

"Let the prince fall in love with you, or make the prince have to marry you."

Make Chu Yuanfeng fall in love with him? Cao Qinglian was a little discouraged. She had tried before. She gave soup, purses, and even pretended to fall, but she didn't attract any attention from Chu Yuanfeng. This road was dead.

So what does it mean to have to marry? Let the emperor grant a marriage? She, Cao Qinglian, seems to have this ability.

Then there is only one way left, raw rice and cooked rice.
