Chapter 18 Conspiracy 3

Mei Nianfa lowered his head slightly, and he vaguely felt in his heart that Queen Renchen must know something and that he would face the fate of autumn wind and falling leaves?

"Please make it clear."

"Mame Shang, go and make a cup of tea to relieve Lord Mei's wine." Hearing this, Mei Nianfa finally confirmed that the meeting with the second prince yesterday was known by the Empress. Not only that, but I'm afraid that even the conversation between them had already reached the Queen's ears.

But why does the Queen know this? Did she already expect that the second prince would Zhao him, or did she already know the emperor's real intention?

The second prince said that the case of the crown princess had nothing to do with the emperor, so why did he want to tell himself that the emperor wanted to remove Zhao Shun through the case? No, there must be something wrong.

"Queen, this..." Mei Nianfa didn't know what to say, but she couldn't say nothing.

"The so-called mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch, won't Lord Mei understand this truth?" Queen Renchen said, "But no matter how powerful this yellow finch is, it forgets that there is a hunter behind it..."

Hunter? Does she want to tell me that she is the real cicada, and the hunter hiding behind the scenes is the second prince?

Seeing that Mei Nianfa didn't say anything, Empress Renchen said, "The emperor wants to use the case of the crown princess to eradicate my brother from the court, but do you think the emperor really has this ability? Or do you think you can drive the prime minister who controls the whole court situation out of the court by you alone?

"Weichen dare not."

"What if you dare? You don't have the power to compete with my brother at all. How can the emperor not know this, so..." Empress Renchen raised her eyebrows gently and did not pay the gentleness and stability at all. "So it will be you who will be eradicated from the court in the future. It must be like this."

Mei Nianfa was silent, and he felt that he had fallen into a trap of reputation. On the one hand, it is the persecution of the emperor, and on the other hand, it is the threat of the queen. There is also an uneasy and kind-hearted second prince in the middle. Why did things become like this? What's wrong with the entanglement?

"Your excellency, please have tea."

"Okay, M Mother Shang, please step back first."

"Yes, Empress."

"Of course, I didn't invite adults here today to embarrass you, but to make a deal with you." Empress Renchen picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "This tea comes from the Divine Moon Palace. Don't you taste it?"

"Yes." Mei Nianfa picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip, but at this moment, even if he gave him a fine tea, he would only feel the same as white water. Tasting this kind of thing is a luxury. You must have both time and mood, and have enough qualifications. Obviously, these three are not available at this time.

"How does it taste?"

"It's really a rare top grade. I don't know what the Queen wants to do with Weichen?"

"I want you to join hands with me. What do you think of Lord Mei?"

"Weichen is frightened."

"As long as you join hands with me, I promise you to get through this matter safely. Not only that, I will also let you sit in my brother's seat."

What? Is it crazy to let herself sit in the position of prime minister? "Empress, Weichen is just a small criminal division. How can He De sit in the position of prime minister?"

"Why not? As long as I introduce you to my brother, isn't it easy? The so-called Hundred Days Red, my brother controls the situation of the whole court and will be replaced one day, and the emperor trusts you, so it's better to help you to the position of prime minister before my brother is eradicated. You are nominally loyal to the emperor, but in fact you are a member of this palace. Empress Renchen put a delicate small wooden box on the table, and Mei Nianfa only felt a refreshing fragrance coming to her face, "Why don't you open it and have a look?"

Before opening the box, Mei Nianfa knew that it was nothing more than gold and silver treasures, but when he opened it, he was completely shocked by the contents. It seems that the jade-like exquisite fruit lies quietly in the box, and the whole body is snow-white but emits a faint red light. There is nothing wrong with it, that is the snow fruit that can only be found in the Flying Snow Villa of Cangguo. Eating one can increase the power by ten years, but ordinary people will die immediately as long as they take a bite.

"This, this is snow fruit." Mei Nianfa, as the punishment department of the State of Qi, is naturally good at martial arts. Ten years ago, he saw Liumu holding this kind of snow-white fruit with red light. Liumu told him that it was a snow fruit only in Feixue Villa, and he ate one that could increase his skills by ten years.

Although Mei Nianfa is a court official, as a martial arts practitioner, this kind of fruit is definitely not attractive.

"Yes, this is the snow fruit that can increase your skills by ten years as long as you eat one. If Lord Mei is willing to be a person in this palace, then this adult can take it away. The position of prime minister may not be rare, but this is the dream of martial arts practitioners. Empress Renchen saw the wavering of Mei Nianfa, and she always believed that as long as she was a person, she would have weaknesses.

"Mother, where did you get this snow fruit that is hard to get with tens of millions of gold?"

"Lord Mei doesn't need to ask in detail. How about Lord Mei, would you like to make this deal with me?"

"In fact, to tell the truth, the emperor ordered me to solve the case within a month, but now I don't even have a clue." Mei Nianfa's eyes stayed on the snow fruit for a long time and did not want to leave. "It's reasonable to catch a scapegoat."

"I am also curious about this case. Although I don't know who the real murderer is, I can provide some clues for adults."

"Please make it clear."

"There is only one clue. The person who committed this case must be the person in the palace."

"Why is it so determined?"

Empress Renchen smiled leisurely and said, "I know that the key to Jiaotai Hall is in the hands of Mother Shang, but few people in this palace know it."

Yes, Mei Nianfa was a little annoyed to know who had the key in the hands of only some people in the palace. Why didn't she think of this? Is it really the emperor who killed the princess?

As if she had seen through Mei Nianfa's mind, the queen continued to say, "Lord Mei, do you think the emperor killed the crown princess? That's impossible. I think it should be the same person who killed the crown princess and Empress Shunde.

Is it possible that the queen already knows who the murderer is?

"Queen, do you know who the murderer is?"

"How can I, a female, know who the murderer is? However, doesn't Lord Mei think it's strange?"

"What's strange?"

"This second prince is the bloodline left by the previous emperor. Look, the prince is now hiding in the State of Lu, the third prince is cultivating in the Divine Moon Palace, and the fourth prince follows Liumu to travel to Cang Country. Why is only this second prince stay in the palace safely?"

"That's because the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Yan, is a relative of the Empress Dowager, and perhaps that's why she is particularly allowed to stay in the palace."

"Don't allow others to snoo on the side of the couch." Empress Renchen said coldly, "How can the character of the Empress Dowager allow people who threaten her own son to stay in the palace?" I heard that the eldest prince and the fourth prince have been assassinated.

"What?"

"So, it's not easy for the second prince to be alone. Now he has asked you to eradicate my brother from the court. For what purpose, haven't you thought about it carefully?"

"So, what should I do?" Mei Nianfa said this, which obviously showed that he was willing to join hands with Empress Renchen.

"Since the emperor wants to kill people with a knife, change the person he wants to kill."

"Who will it be?"

"Change to the fetus in my womb."

Mei Nianfa's eyes widened and couldn't believe his ears: "Empress, you are pregnant, but..." As soon as he wanted to continue talking, he swallowed his throat. He can't say that the emperor has never touched you. How did you get pregnant?

"Your excellency wants to say that the emperor has never stayed in the queen's palace, how can I be pregnant?" Empress Renchen said, "It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about this. It's just that on the tenth day of April, when you meet the emperor, you have to insist on my brother who killed the crown princess. Do you understand?

"Ah?" Mei Nianfa asked in surprise, "Isn't this forcing adults to die?"

"Only when you die can you survive... The adult said, didn't you?"
