Meng Ruimo laughed bitterly, “Grandfather is not at home for many years, I am one mouth, they are many mouths, including my own father and sister, grandfather believe who more? When I was young, I told my grandfather about the Fu’s twice, and my grandfather’s favorite saying was, ‘I know, listen to both sides is clear, listen to both sides is dark. You are a man, do not be confined to the house, but look at the world.’……

“Or perhaps he only sees the fight between me and Fu as a bad blood between stepmother and stepson, a small fight that doesn’t hurt. As long as the Fu’s do not do things that jeopardize the interests of the family, do not hurt me and my sister, his old man will turn a blind eye. It’s not good to make my father’s life difficult because of me, and to make Fu and her two sons and daughters lose face. Many big elders, not all so make peace with mud …… figured out the joints, I will no longer say Fu’s not.”

Jiang Yishi was another burst of liver pain. Sighing, “There is no reason to say, there is no place to say, it is difficult to move, it is difficult to move …… You were still a child at that time, it was too difficult.”

Meng Zhimo looked at Jiang Yishi, and said, “However, my sister’s affinity is too bad, grandfather should have dissatisfaction with the clan. Coupled with this incident today, it will be even more touching to grandfather. I also have to thank Miss Jiang, if my eyesight hadn’t recovered, I really might have fallen into their trap today, and it would have also caused the good impression I managed to leave in Grandfather’s mind to be greatly diminished.”

Jiang Yishi wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, “I will definitely be able to cure your eyes and restore your eyesight as soon as possible. Really, I can do it.”

She didn’t dare to be sure before, but now with the addition of Hua Hua’s Yuan Shen and tears, she was sure she could do it.

Meng Zhimo smiled, “I believe it.”

Seeing Jiang Yishi’s slightly red eyes and little nose, he blamed himself a little. Embarrassed, he said, “It’s my fault for making Miss Jiang sad.”

Jiang Yishi said, “I originally thought that my brother and I were pitiful, but now I realize that Brother Meng is even more difficult.”

Meng Zhimo said, “Manly man, suffer a little rubbing does not matter. Just pity my sister, alas ……”

Suddenly, the sound of Flower and Jojo arguing came from outside.

“Meow meow meow ……”

“Get out, get out of the way, military sticks will serve.”

Meng Lianshan and Meng Qingshan’s soft laughter, and Shui Qing’s soft drink.

Jiang Yishi and Meng Ruimo both looked toward the small window, and in the midst of a garden full of flowers, Meng Lianshan and Meng Qingshan and Shui Qing stood under Jojo’s birdcage, while Hua Hua climbed up the thin iron rod and shook the birdcage with her claws, and Jojo cursed as she was shaken.

Meng Ruimo’s voice rang out again, “My injuries don’t rule out man-made, I suspect there’s a mole. In addition to Lianshan and Dongshan big brother, the other few people around me are not excluded from suspicion …… have already investigated Qingshan and Gaoshan, they will not have a big problem, the matter of Miss Jiang helping me to cure my eyes is not hidden from them, but the matter of my eyes getting better can not be said.

“If the people around me must have a problem, the biggest possibility is Meng Dingshan, who was given to me by my father. When he returns in the future, Miss Jiang should be more careful when she encounters him. I’ve been sending him out to do things since I returned to the capital. In order not to let him suspect, even the oldest and most I believe in big brother Dongshan was also sent outside, is to better investigation. Starting with an internal investigation, then expanding outward step by step.”

Jiang Yishi was shocked, “Grand Madam Meng is not yet capable of putting her hands into the military camp, is she?” …

Meng Zhimo sneered, “Of course she doesn’t have that ability …… but, don’t rule out the people behind her. My grandfather didn’t allow the Meng family’s children and grandchildren to take sides and only follow the orders of the Emperor alone. Currently, the Meng family is ostensibly doing this. My mother and Concubine Qu De are close sisters, and I heard that, when she was alive, the sisters rarely interacted with each other. Fu is cousins with Noble Concubine Zhao, and with distant relatives, they interact even less.”

Jiang Yishi also heard of an old story, the Qu family is not obvious, but the two daughters look like heavenly fairies, known as the “two Qu”. They were known as the “Two Curves”, and they were lucky that the first one became the crown prince’s daughter, and the second one married the Duke of Chengdu’s son.

People said that Meng Zhi Yu looked like Pan An, and his reputation was much more prosperous than Meng Zhimo’s. But in Jiang Yishi’s opinion, Meng Zhi Yu’s reputation was much more favorable than that of Meng Zhimo. But in Jiang Yishi’s opinion, Meng Zuyu’s looks were not as good as Meng Zhimo’s, but he was only good at his studies and had a good reputation. Meng Zhimo’s reputation wasn’t good when he was young, and at the age of fifteen, he went to the border to fight in the war, and came back five years later, blind again. This kind of Meng Zhimo, of course, can not compare to the young, talented and elegant Meng Zhiyu.

I’ve heard that Ping Wang Li Xi is also exceptionally good-looking, but Jiang Yishi has never seen him.

Only to hear Meng Ruimo continue, “Four years ago, I was still fighting at the border, Qu De Fei and Ping Wang had an accident. It was said that Consort Qu De pandered to the Crown Prince, and King Ping angrily beat up the Crown Prince, and the evidence was overwhelming. The Emperor was furious and demoted Consort De to Concubine De, and drove King Ping and Concubine De to guard the royal tomb. Because of my grandfather’s family rules, when I was young I seldom interacted with King Ping and my aunt, but I could also see that Ping was gentle and calm, wise and forward-looking, and my aunt was even more gentle and courteous, so how could she possibly have made that foolish move ……”

Jiang Yishi waited for him to continue to say, but he did not say again, quietly looking out the window to daze.

Although Meng Zhimo didn’t say anything, based on his memories from his previous life, as well as the deliberate inquiries he made in this life, Jiang Yishi also knew some things about King Ping and King Ying and the Crown Prince.

In addition to the Duke Cheng’s House, King Ping’s outer family and several of his relatives all had insignificant family power, and the biggest official was the Grand Master of the Qu family, who had made it to the Press Attorney Department and was now serving as an official in a foreign country. Currently, the biggest power among King Ping’s relatives is cousin Meng Zhimo, who, despite his eyes going blind, was still established as the Duke of Cheng Guo’s son ……”

Crown Prince Li Kang, born of Queen Yuan, is quite popular with the Emperor, but he is too mediocre and headstrong, and is becoming less and less popular with the Emperor. The most favored prince in the dynasty is the fourth prince, King Ying Li Zhao, and before that there was a third prince, King Ping Li Xi.

Many people say that the emperor likes Ping Wang because Qu De Fei is beautiful. Four years ago, some ministers who knew the inside story were dissatisfied with the Emperor’s treatment of concubine Qu De, saying that it was too light. A demonic concubine who does not abide by the ways of women then should be given poisoned wine.

His Majesty.

indeed can not bear to Qu De concubine cruel hand, only to the mother and son out of the palace. To the outside world also give concubine Qu De left face, did not say that she pandered to the Prince, only that she and the King of Ping teamed up to set up the Prince.

The concubine Qu De charming the Prince, creating the Prince seduced Qu De concubine, and then by the King of Ping because of the protection of his mother and the anger of the Prince’s false image was uncovered, or Jiang Yishi in the married into the Mengfu overheard.

Now, it seems that neither of the two Qu’s had a good life. One was defeated by Princess Zhao, and the other was defeated by Fu, who had not yet joined the Meng family.

Ping Wang went to guard the royal tomb, away from the center of power, the remaining several princes are not to be feared. If the Crown Prince is taken out again, King Ying will rise up as a matter of course.

Great Lady Meng was after more than just the title, she should also be helping the people behind her. The person behind her refers to Zhao Guifei, the fourth prince, King Ying Li Zhao.

The Emperor and Empress Yuan had a deep love for each other, and after Empress Yuan’s death, there was no queen. In addition to the Empress Dowager, the person in charge of the harem was Zhao Guifei.
