“It’s too late to say anything now, the matter has come to this point. You can’t escape the punishment, and the Meng family is the same.”
Meng Changling kowtowed twice again and cried: “Your Majesty, I did this all by myself, and it has nothing to do with my elder brother. They don’t know anything.”
Chu Yan picked up the paper on the table, and threw it in front of her: “Look for yourself.”
Meng Changling picked up the paper with trembling hands, and read it word by word. It was written very clearly. Since Deputy Chief Zhang entered the palace, he had done things for the Meng family, one after another.
It was for the Meng family, not for her alone, Meng Changling.
Seeing that Meng Changling had no more arguments, Chu Yan asked again: “Did Meng Nan participate in this matter?”
Meng Changling’s body trembled. She immediately shook her head, firmly shaking her head: “No, Meng Nan doesn’t know about this matter. If he knew, he would never agree with his temperament. Don’t you know Meng Nan too, Your Majesty? He is not such a person, you know it!”
Yes, it was precisely because Chu Yan knew Meng Nan’s temperament and personality that he asked this question.
“I will find out. If he did not participate in this matter, I will naturally not implicate him. But if he has a part in this matter, then I will also not miss the old relationship.”
Meng Changling has nothing to say. Murdering the monarch, but not killing her nine clans immediately, was already extraordinarily merciful. If she can leave a little blood for the Meng family, she can also have the face to meet the ancestors of the Meng family.
At this time, Meng Changde took the identity token given by Meng Changling and rushed to the Baiyuan Palace.
He just got the news that Zhou Awu was not dead and was rescued by Bai Zhi.
Zhou Awu had seen the secret letter, and his name, Meng Changde, was on the letter.
As long as the Emperor knows that his name was written in there, with the Emperor’s ingenuity, it was impossible not to understand the key points.
So, he hurriedly came to Baiyuan Palace to discuss this matter with his sister.
If it was in other places, he only needed to send some assassins to attack Zhou Awu again, but at this time, he was in Dongfang Family Mansion.
That place was like an iron barrel. Even if those quack assassins he hired to get in, they will never succeed.
Unless some more sophisticated Imperial Dragon Guards were dispatched instead, they may still be a few percent certainties.
As soon as he arrived at Baiyuan Palace, he learned that Meng Changling had been invited by the Emperor to the Imperial Study Room.
Meng Changde was a little puzzled. Why would the Emperor invite his sister to the imperial study for no reason?
“Do you know what it is for?” Meng Changde asked Bi’er, the palace maid next to Meng Changling.
Bi’er’s eyes were slightly red, and her complexion was pale. Although he was the eldest brother of the imperial concubine, she didn’t dare to say something casually, so she could only bite her lip and shake her head.
Seeing her like this, Meng Changde panicked and yelled: “What are you shaking your head for? Why don’t you say it quickly, are you going to kill me?”
Under Meng Changde’s repeated questioning, Bi’er finally opened her mouth: “The imperial concubine said, she may not… …come back again, so she let us take good care of Prince Jue. My lord, please save the imperial concubine.” Bi’er knelt and kowtowed repeatedly to Meng Changde.
Meng Changde’s ears were buzzing, as if thunder was constantly exploding in his ears, causing his brain pain.
What happened? What is going on?
Everything was so flawless. Even that person who slipped through the net was still in a coma. As long as the person he arranges goes to work in the imperial study, what he planned will be considered a success!
Everything has been arranged, just one step away, just one step away.
Could it be that the last step went wrong?
No, impossible, it can’t be.
Meng Changde said in his heart that it was impossible, but he walked out honestly.
