Chapter 45
Meng Wanfeng has lived in Empress Xu's Weiyang Palace for more than a month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

The empress asked her if she wanted to leave the palace and go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Meng Wan lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Where is the minister's home?"

The queen sighed, and only said: "Take a step back and open up the sea and the sky."

Meng Wanfeng shook her head: "I once hoped that they could take a step back and raise their hands high, but what they got in return was always to push Fang Xiu to death."

The queen coughed twice, thinking of the prince, she couldn't help closing her eyes.

Yes, sometimes it's not that she doesn't want to take a step back, it's just that those people are pressing every step of the way, making it impossible to retreat. She looked at the blood foam coughed up on the veil, and quietly hid the veil In the sleeve, he clenched his fist.

At this time, Chang Shaojian went in and reported that the eldest grandson of the emperor had arrived.

The queen's complexion eased, and she said with a smile: "Quickly ask Sheng'er to come in, I will be thinking about it if I don't see him for a day!"

After the emperor's eldest grandson Li Sheng came in, the queen didn't let Meng Wanfeng back down. She pulled Li Sheng and talked for a long time, mainly asking about the health condition of the eldest grandson Concubine Zhou.Zhou's conceived within half a year after entering the house, and it was considered smooth at first, but at nine months, she was bumped by a three-year-old little prince in the palace, resulting in premature delivery.

The Zhou family gave birth to a baby girl, and the baby girl died half a year after giving birth. Zhou's body has also weakened a lot since giving birth. There are good times and bad times. The two concubines were both girls from good family backgrounds, Zhou's health was made worse by the stimulation, and the emperor's grandson was often in a dilemma between his wives and concubines and his mother, which made people feel different inside and out.

When the queen heard that the Zhou family was still crying because of the concubine's room, she couldn't help showing a dissatisfied expression, and couldn't help cursing: "Things that can't be supported!"

The grandson of the emperor was overwhelmed by the issue of heirs and women. Originally, he had heard his mother and the emperor's grandmother say something wrong about the Zhou family.

But now, he was so tired that he didn't want to say a word, and listened to Empress Xu's words in silence.

"I heard that your imperial grandfather often invites Li Zhao to the Imperial Study Room recently, and even takes him to attend the cabinet discussions from time to time. How about you?"

The emperor's eldest grandson, Li Sheng, raised his head slightly, met the hawk-like eyes of Empress Xu, and trembled all over, clenched his fists and said, "Father is not in good health recently, and I want to be filial to my father."

Empress Xu coughed loudly and spit out a mouthful of blood. Li Sheng was so frightened that he turned pale with fright, and shouted in a panic: "Prince doctor! Chang Shaojian, hurry up and pass on to the doctor!"

"Shut up, idiot!" Empress Xu coughed desperately for a while again, as if she was about to cough up her lungs, she managed to suppress the anger in her chest, she lay back on the soft pillow with some sadness, and gasped for a while , then said sadly: "I really regret, I regret letting His Majesty make him the crown prince when he was born, I regret letting His Majesty make him the crown prince at the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, and let him live such a life." It was safe and smooth, but in the end, I actually taught a fool!"

Huang Changsun's eyes were red, he lowered his head, and clenched his teeth tightly.

Afterwards, Empress Xu took a look at Meng Wanfeng and told her to back down. After confirming that she had gone far away, the Empress grabbed Li Sheng's hand and held it very tightly. Li Sheng was hurt by the imperial grandmother's grasp, but Not daring to show it, he stared blankly at Empress Xu, not knowing what she wanted to say next.

Empress Xu lowered her voice, and said with almost all her strength: "Li Sheng, listen carefully. This Palace is running out of time, and this is the last chance for you and the prince! Once this Palace falls, Your Majesty and The last bit of affection between your father is gone, understand?!"

Li Sheng's lips were trembling, and his eyes were already filled with tears. He nodded a little helplessly: "Grandmother will definitely live a long life..."

"Shut up! You still want to talk such useless nonsense to Ben Gong at this time?" She took a breath and continued: "Mr. Zhou, if she can't bear the burden of the eldest grandson's wife, she doesn't have to stay! "

"Grandmother!" Li Sheng widened his eyes in horror upon hearing this.

Empress Xu ignored him, and continued: "Your mother and I have already discussed it. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be autumn hunting. I will risk my life to save you and your father. But you also have to remember, Ben Gong only has this life! If you don’t seize the opportunity this time, there will be no next time! You, your father, mother, thousands of lives in the house will be lost, wipe away the tears for this palace! Your father If you can't stand up, you have to stand up! Look at what Li Zhao did!"

Li Sheng closed his eyes tightly after being yelled at by Empress Xu, and just nodded desperately: "Grandson listens to grandma, and grandson listens to grandma!"

Empress Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, laying it back on the pillow, her tone finally eased, and said, "You don't have to do it yourself, I and your mother have made arrangements. After Mrs. Zhou leaves, you go and beg your imperial grandfather to give Meng Wanfeng a gift." Give you."

"Meng...!" Li Sheng was shocked again and couldn't speak.

"That child, Ben Gong, looks resolute, courageous, and worthy of a great responsibility, but he has a bit of your mother's demeanor."

The concubine Yan's family is the first daughter of Yan Jingyue, the chief assistant of the former cabinet. Unfortunately, Yan Jingyue died of begging for bones the year the crown prince was deposed.However, Yan Shi is an extremely capable and powerful woman. Since the crown prince was deposed, if it weren't for Yan Shi's side, the crown prince would have given up on himself long ago, and the East Palace would have been disbanded long ago with nothing left.

Empress Xu continued: "If she doesn't want to marry you, you can find a way to get rid of her. It doesn't take much effort to get rid of her. Your imperial grandfather won't care about the life and death of a little girl who only makes trouble for him. Wan Feng is a knife, but you have to hold this knife in your own hands, understand!"

After finishing what she wanted to say, Empress Xu closed her eyes in exhaustion.

Li Sheng wiped away his tears, bowed his head and retreated quietly. In the backyard of the side hall of Weiyang Palace, he saw Meng Wanfeng decocting medicine.

He stared at this young girl with a complicated expression, and after a long while, Meng Wanfeng seemed to finally notice his gaze, turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and saluted Li Sheng.

Li Sheng nodded to her and said, "Thank you for your hard work, girl."
