Chapter 751 Ancient Robbery 34
If you reach such a high peak and still can't get the woman you want, what's the point?
The flashes of swords and sabers on the battlefield, the scars and medals on the body, what do these mean?
Thinking about his son's first relationship, Emperor Ming curled his lips in disdain, but still decided to lend him a helping hand.
He took the brush from the imperial desk, wrote an imperial edict in a very eloquent manner, and asked the eunuchs in the inner court to stamp it with the seal.
"Go and pass on the order."
No matter how reluctant she is, she has to be his son's woman. Even if she is a dragon, she has to prostrate herself in front of them.
Fu Wenting had just entered the mansion when he heard from the housekeeper that Meng Liu had invited Li Shiyun and the others to have dinner. He thought about it and decided not to disturb them. Under such circumstances, she probably wouldn't want to bother with him.
I just finished bathing and changed out of my court robes.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Now they had to meet, so Meng Liu, mother and son, hurried to the main hall.
She looked at him puzzledly, as if asking what the imperial edict was.
Fu Wenting was also confused. When he just came out of the imperial study, his father didn't say anything. How come the imperial edict suddenly came?
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that Meng Liu, the daughter of Meng Qi'an, the Deputy Commissioner of the Salt Transport Department, is both talented and beautiful, and has both virtue and integrity, and is deeply in my heart. Now that the Crown Prince has reached the age of 20, it is time for him to marry, and I should choose a virtuous woman to be his partner. Meng Liu is still unmarried, and you are a perfect match for the Crown Prince. In order to make you a perfect match, I hereby betroth you to the Crown Prince as his principal wife. I wish that the two of you can live in harmony, raise virtuous heirs together, and contribute to our great country. I decree this."
All the people kneeling down were dumbfounded, especially Meng Liu, who did not move for a long time.
The eunuch who came to announce the decree put away the imperial edict with a smile on his face and said, "Miss Meng, accept the decree."
Li Shiyun hurriedly pulled her daughter's hand to help her come back to her senses.
Meng Liu clenched her teeth and glared at Fu Wenting, then replied aggrievedly: "Your Highness, I accept your order and thank you for your grace."
After they stood up, the eunuch looked at the prince and Meng Liu with a smile. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. Meng Dingfeng quickly pulled off the purse and stuffed it into his hand.
"I dare not accept it. Sir, you are embarrassing me."
Fu Wenting pinched his brows and waved his hand: "You go back to the palace first. Give me the imperial edict. I will ask my father."
As soon as the person left, the atmosphere became awkward. The awkwardness between Li Shiyun and Meng Dingfeng was that Meng Liu had just said that they were just good friends.
Fu Wenting was angry that his father acted on his own. He had managed to cover up the past in front of Meng Liu, but right after he came back from the palace, the imperial edict arrived. How would Meng Liu look at him!
Sensing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Meng Dingfeng tugged at his mother's sleeve and hurriedly said goodbye, not even bothering to have the agreed dinner.
"Oh, you have no interest in me?" Meng Liu glanced at him lightly.
This guy is really boiling a frog in warm water. I let her down in the early stage, and now after just a few days, she can't hold back anymore.
"It's not me." Fu Wenting explained somewhat helplessly.
Meng Liu sneered, said nothing, and turned to walk inside.
Fu Wenting hurriedly followed her: "It's really not me. I don't know why my father suddenly issued an imperial decree. I will go to the palace to ask tomorrow..."
Meng Liu suddenly stopped and didn't look at him: "I don't want to see you now."
Regardless of whether it was him or not, he must have shown something in front of the emperor, which led to the emperor granting the marriage.
Otherwise, if he only has this one son and he marries him to a woman he doesn't like, isn't he afraid that Fu Wenting will disobey his order?
Meng Liu is feeling very confused and upset right now.
On the one hand, Fu Wenting is indeed the male protagonist, and there are tasks that must be completed with him.
On the one hand, Gu Zhige’s death always made her feel uncomfortable.
If Gu Zhige was not so nice to her, she would have happily accepted Fu Wenting.
To Meng Liu, Gu Zhige was completely brought to justice. It was only because Fu Wenting fell in love with her that he abused his power and killed him. To be honest, Gu Zhige died because of her.
How could she marry Fu Wenting with peace of mind?
When Gu Zhige in the underground found out, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.
Even if there wasn't much love, he was still the man I had lived with for several years.
Having no appetite to eat, Meng Liu got on the bed, covered his head and fell asleep.
There was a 'clang' sound.
The window was pushed open and a man rolled in. Meng Liu was stunned and covered his mouth and nose with a quilt.
Who is this person?
The man covered his face and lowered his head. Seeing her on the couch, he knelt down hurriedly, not daring to look at her any more: "Madam!"
This voice is so familiar!
"You, raise your head!"
Yuan Bao raised his head tremblingly, with two bubbles of hot tears in his eyes: "Madam, I finally found you!"
"Yuanbao!" Meng Liu sat up quickly. Fortunately, she didn't take off her clothes when she went to bed. "Why are you not dead yet?"
Yuan Bao clenched his fists, a look of forbearance flashed across his face: "Prince Duan and his son have gone too far, not only did they wipe out the entire Princess's mansion, they even coveted the Madam! If the imperial edict hadn't been spread, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find the Madam yet!"
"You guys?" Meng Liu asked hesitantly, "Who else is there besides you?"
"Jin Bao and the others are waiting outside, Madam! Time is running out, so please follow me and leave quickly!"
Meng Liu quickly put on her shoes. She didn't want to leave, she just wanted to see what these people were going to do.
Yuanbao and Jinbao as he called them were both Gu Zhige's personal servants. Logically, they should have died. No one knew what kind of chance had allowed them to still be alive.
The guards at Prince Duan's Mansion were very strict, but Yuanbao had a Western-style incense in his hand and easily knocked out a group of people.
It looks like it comes from the same source as the drug she used to fake her death.
The two of them dodged all the guards along the way, and after connecting with the two people outside, they entered an inconspicuous teahouse in the capital. As soon as they entered the house, three grown men knelt down in front of her.
"The entire Gu family has been wiped out, and only three of us are left. Please, Madam, avenge the prince!" they said in unison.
Meng Liu: "..."
After a moment of silence, I still couldn't figure it out. Aren't these people a little funny? Just the four of them? Revenge? Kill Prince Duan and his son? What a joke.
She cleared her throat: "You get up first."
Who would have thought that these three people were so stubborn, not only did they not stand up, but they also repeatedly begged: "Madam, please avenge the prince!"
Meng Liu sighed and poured himself a cup of tea. "It's not that I don't want to, but you have to look at the reality. The three of you plus me, the four of us going to kill the emperor? Do you think it's possible?"
Yuan Bao got up quickly, his eyes full of hatred: "Madam, don't worry. We have already contacted the former emperor's old subordinates. When the time comes, we only need to cooperate with each other, and we can capture Prince Duan and his son in one fell swoop."
Meng Liu reached out and touched his forehead: "You don't have a fever, right?"
He was previously guarding the palace and sitting firmly on the throne, but was killed by Prince Duan in an instant. Now that he has become a trapped dog, he still dreams of revenge. It is really wishful thinking.
