Empress difficult

Meng Yan left the palace amidst the mighty momentum.

Since she ascended the throne, the palace has not been peaceful.But at any rate, there are many high walls blocking it, and it takes a little real skill to sneak in, which is much better than the wilderness.

There are no shops in front of the village and no shops in the back. Some people really rush forward, and the siege alone can trap people to death.

After leaving the palace, the chariot team drove slowly, Chu Yun was still excited, and didn't notice Meng Yan's nervousness at all.

In order to distract her attention, Meng Yan simply chatted with her: "Didn't you say you didn't want to leave the palace before?"

"I don't want to. I eat delicacies from mountains and seas in the palace, and sleep on brocade couches. Your Majesty treats me so well, much better than outside. Do you know, Your Majesty, people who were born in the palace as soon as they landed must not have imagined that there are people outside. People who are starving to death.”

Why can't I think... what is the purpose of the cold palace?

She is still a simple girl, and she has never seen too many sinister people.

"Then you are still so excited?"

"It's different! It's like... living in your own home, but going out to visit. The tour is to visit, and you still have to go home afterward."

Meng Yan's heart softened, and she asked, "Do you regard the imperial palace as your home?"

"Chuyun is lonely and helpless, Your Majesty treats me well. Wherever Your Majesty is, that's my home."

But you have a sister... Your sister and I are at odds!Although I don't know the reason at all...

Meng Yan thought about his words and said, "If you find your sister, does your sister not want you to stay in the palace?"

Chu Yun was in trouble for a long time, and sighed: "I don't know if I can find it! If I can find it, can Your Majesty keep her in the palace?"

She also has to be willing to live in peace with me!

Meng Yan said vaguely: "If she is willing..."

Chu Yun was a chatty chatterer, he couldn't stop the brakes in the palace, and asked endlessly, and he became even more excited after he came out, and he didn't stop talking.Meng Yan asked someone to prepare various dried fruit desserts, trying to calm her down for a while with food, but she almost spit out her saliva while eating and talking.

Meng Yan suddenly thought why didn't she bring Princess Cheng or Chao Qian'er out, these two are even more precious than Chu Yun, and they will definitely be able to suppress this girl.

Meng Yan was having a headache when suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Are you here?

Meng Yan's heart tightened, and she grabbed Chu Yun and pulled her towards her.Chu Yun called out in a daze: "Eh? Your Majesty? What's the matter? What happened?"

There were only the two of them in the spacious and comfortable carriage, and Meng Yan regretted letting Chu Yun stay with him.Swords don't have eyes, and those attendants outside will protect him when the time comes, who cares about Chuyun, a little girl?

Meng Yan could only bring Chu Yun to her side, but she only heard the movement outside for a short while, and then she quieted down.

Meng Yan held his breath and listened carefully, and then someone came to report: "Your Majesty, that..."

Halfway through the speech, he stopped.

Meng Yan let go of his hand, Chu Yun cleverly went to lift the curtain, and looked down at the attendant kneeling on the ground: "What's the matter? Why are you hesitating!"

The attendant hurriedly reported: "Chao Qian'er is asking to see you."

Chao Qianer! ?

Wasn't she imprisoned in Liuhua Bieyuan by Gao Chi! ?How did you escape?How did you catch up again! ?

Meng Yan changed her mind and hurriedly asked, "Who else?"

"Come along with Princess Cheng."

Sure enough... these two people have no worries!

At first, he thought that Princess Cheng would make a fuss and put her on Chao Qian'er's side. Given how considerate and sensible Chao Qianer was, he would definitely persuade her.It was only later that I realized that since Princess Cheng was making such a fuss, adding a Princess Xian might stir up a puddle of mud between Chao Qianer and Princess Xian and discover something.

For example, breaking through the little ambiguous actions between them, or simply hearing what they were talking about in secret.

Meng Yan had a good plan, and if he didn't guard against it, Chao Qian'er would follow suit...

"Where is Princess Xian?"

The guard's face darkened instantly when he saw Meng Yan, he couldn't help but trembled, and stammered: "Xian, Princess Xian is in the palace."

Meng Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The guard added: "It's just that Princess Cheng and Chao Qian'er seem to have...a dispute and are making a noise in the rear. Your Majesty sees this as..."

You two are grasshoppers on the same line, why are you arguing!

Meng Yan rubbed the center of her eyebrows: "Bring them all here."

The two people brought over were indeed still arguing.

Rather than saying it was a quarrel, it was better to say that it was Princess Cheng who got angry unilaterally, and it was rare for Chao Qian'er to be so serious, with the corners of her mouth pursed, as if she was holding back.

This surprised Meng Yan.The recent Chao Qian'er seems to have shed a layer of flashy shell, and is walking on the path of seriousness.Even when trespassing into Qixiang Palace at night and intending to climb into the emperor's bed, it was the same, there was no first-time charm and enchantment, it was like doing a daily task, slap your ass and leave when you are done.

But still different from this moment.

At this time, Meng Yan found a very serious sense of disobedience from her body. Princess Cheng whispered dissatisfiedly in her ear, but she frowned slightly, completely ignoring the existence of Princess Cheng.

This scene made Meng Yan a little dazed for a while, and he wondered whether the gap between the reality in front of him and the impression in his mind really existed.

It’s much better to become a princess. Just like when I met her before the trip, I angrily accused: “Why are you! You ran out first, why did you drive me back! Don’t pretend to be dead, answer me! The identity of the princess orders you! Why can't I parade with His Majesty!"

The two stood in front of the Mengyan Dragon Chariot, Chao Qian'er had gloom in his eyes, and finally turned around and said: "The former emperor gave me privileges before he passed away, and even the current emperor has to be courteous to me, let alone you."

Princess Cheng was so deflated that her face turned blue with anger: "You!"

Meng Yan waved his hand to interrupt the two of them: "Okay! What are you doing in front of so many people!"

Princess Cheng took the right to speak and complained first: "Your Majesty! You don't know! She—"

"Come in!"

Immediately, someone put down the pedals, and Princess Cheng stretched out her arms first, and was supported by others to get on the car.Chao Qian'er took a wrong step to block her and pinned down her arm.Princess Cheng didn't react, but Chao Qian'er didn't speak to her. She turned to look at Meng Yan, and asked for an order: "Your Majesty, Princess Cheng will not go with you. Your Majesty, please assign another vehicle and guards to the princess."

Princess Cheng really exploded this time: "Chao! Qian! Son! You are too deceitful!"

However, Meng Yan was keenly aware of Chao Qian'er's begging hidden behind the indifference, which seemed sad and helpless, but she didn't want others to find out.

Meng Yan thought for a while, and found that this was exactly what she thought.Originally, she was still regretting having Chuyun by her side, so she absolutely couldn't add another Princess Cheng.

Meng Yan ordered: "Come here, bring the princess into the car, and two more people will wait on her."

Princess Cheng was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty? Why are you facing her!"

Meng Yan put on a parental attitude: "My lord is talking about things, if you want to come out to play, just be obedient and don't cause trouble."

"We're only two years apart! Who's the grown-up!"

"But I'm the emperor, and you're just a princess. Chuyun, you go too, and you're ready to see what the princess likes to eat."

Chu Yun responded and got out of the car to help Princess Cheng.Meng Yan glanced at Gao Chi who was waiting at the side, he immediately lowered his head, his guilt was palpable, and immediately went to arrange the guards for Princess Cheng.

Meng Yan said to Chu Yun: "You can stay with Princess Cheng."

Chao Qian'er lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

Meng Yan asked her to come up: "Tell me, what's going on."

Chao Qian'er knelt down with a "plop".A soft and thick blanket was laid on the wooden boards of the carriage, there was no sound and it didn't hurt much, Meng Yan's heart flickered for a moment in fright.

Meng Yan frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chao Qian'er fell on the ground: "I... Chao Qian'er intends to conspire against me, and I deserve to be punished for my crime. I have now been punished. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Meng Yan broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

It was because her tone was too tragic, she almost gritted her teeth and said the words "Chao Qian'er", each word in a vicious manner, completely different from the mild and frivolous way she usually called herself.

She is seriously explaining her crimes.

"Chao Qian'er colluded with the traitor Wu Yayang Yun, with evil intentions, gathered the remnants of Wu Yayang Yun's forces, and ambushed during His Majesty's march."

Wait... This development trend... What's going on! ?

Chao Qian'er's body seemed to be lowered a bit, but in fact she was completely on the ground, and there was no possibility of her going any lower.Her words were clear, and she said word by word: "Wu Ya Yang Yun has eight hundred remnant soldiers, all of whom are in ambush in the west of He Liu Lin. In addition, I helped him connect and hired Jianghu people with a lot of money—"

"Wait first!" Meng Yan interrupted her, "You said you colluded with the second prince?"

Chao Qian'er took a deep breath and bit down the next word: "Yes!"

Meng Yan stared at her closely, and immediately called Gao Chi: "How far is it from He Liulin!?"

Gao Chi suppressed his curiosity, instead of looking at Chao Qian'er who was kneeling on the ground, he replied, "We've arrived, and we'll be able to enter the edge of the forest in half a day's time."

Chao Qian'er suddenly jumped up from the ground: "Notify the team! Retreat! Can't enter He Liulin! Retreat quickly!"

Gao Chi was completely stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Chao Qian'er walked up to Meng Yan on his knees, held Meng Yan's ankle, and said eagerly: "There are two Jianghu people, and these guards are definitely not their opponents! Your Majesty, retreat! Let them retreat!"

Gao Chi's face turned serious, and he turned to give an order.

Meng Yan stopped him, keeping a calm face: "Go ahead!"

Both Gao Chi and Chao Qian'er were surprised.

Meng Yan said: "Slow down. Since the 800 people are all in He Liulin, Gao Chi, you take people there personally, and leave no one behind!"

Wu Yayang Yun's soldiers took a surprise attack, if Meng Yan was mentally prepared to attack them instead, one can imagine the situation of the battle.

But Gao Chi disagreed.

"Absolutely not!"

Meng Yan has never heard him say "no".

Gao Chi looked at Chao Qian'er, and confessed his worries directly and understandingly: "Chao Qian'er said that she was in collusion with Wu Yayang Yun, so how can it prove that her words are not false, and she is here to feign surrender?"

Makes sense...

Chao Qian'er eagerly argued: "I am grateful to His Majesty for treating me with such kindness as a mountain in the past, and I suddenly wake up!"

Gao Chi shook his head: "The words of those who colluded with the traitors are not credible. How do you prove that this is not a way to turn the tiger away from the mountain? I took people to He Liulin, and His Majesty left the gate empty, waiting for the 800 people from Wu Yayang Yun to attack?"

Makes sense...

Chao Qian'er walked forward again, getting closer to Mengyan: "Your Majesty! There's no time! Like Xia, she's far from being able to handle Gao Chi and his group of idiots!"

Like summer?The quack she mentioned earlier?

Meng Yan pondered for a moment, then said to Gao Chi: "Pass down the order and go to He Liulin with the troops——If Chao Qian'er wants to take my life, she will have countless opportunities while talking."

Gao Chi sighed, and said helplessly, "Yes!"

Chao Qian'er seemed to be relieved, the exhaustion under the heavy makeup appeared instantly, and there were tears in her eyes.

Meng Yan wanted to ask about the details, but suddenly heard a scream from outside, and then the sound spread, and within a breath, several people had already started screaming.

Chao Qian'er was stunned in place, a tear fell, and she turned to look at Mengyan: "It's late, it's Xia Ban! Xia Ban has arrived!"
