Chapter 456: I Am the Queen Nineteen
Meng Li brought a group of ministers, Wei Weilin, Zhang Ningyun, and a group of guards to Nanshan Temple.
The abbot of Nanshan Temple came to receive him, and Meng Li took the lead to burn a stick of incense, and then promised to donate some sesame oil money to Nanshan Temple.
Then came to the gate of the Supreme Queen.
The Empress Dowager really put on airs and didn't come out the whole time.
Meng Li was standing in front of the door. The weather was already hot and the sun was shining. She shouted to the inside:
"Mother, I'm here to take you back to the palace."
The Empress Taishang changed her expression inside, snorted, and pursed her lips without saying a word.
The female officer next to her hesitated for a moment, and said that she was going to leave the door for Meng.
The Empress Dowager didn't speak, but her expression was still arrogant. After all, the female officer knew the Empress Dowager, so she went to open the door.
"Your Majesty." The female officer saluted Meng Li.
Meng Li hummed, and said to Wei Weilin:
"Take care of the lady."
Zhang Ningyun raised her head, looked at Meng Li, and then at Weixing Lin.
Wei Weilin didn't hesitate for a moment, and agreed, casting a low glance at Zhang Ningyun.
When Meng Li entered the room, the female officer withdrew by herself, leaving only Meng Li and the Supreme Empress.
"I thought, Your Majesty wants to deal with this lonely person." The Empress Dowager felt very unhappy.
They didn't turn their heads to look at Meng Li.
Meng Li said:
"Empress, my daughter has grown up, and some responsibilities should be picked up by her. It has always been my daughter's wish to let Empress take care of her life without any worries."
The Empress snorted.
It sounds nice.
"Then put Gu here in Nanshan Temple, since Gu has nothing else to contribute, then pray for the Zhang family day and night." She said angrily.
Meng Li folded his hands together,
His gaze was as calm as water, looking at the back of the Supreme Empress.
"Emperor Mother, my daughter really wants to ask you to go back. Only when Emperor Mother is by my side can my daughter feel at ease." Meng Li said seriously.
To be honest, Meng Li is not very good at coaxing people.
But the Empress Dowager was really angry with her.
It's okay to coax people who leave her angry.
The Empress Taishang didn't speak, she didn't want to pay attention to Meng Li.
In short, what Meng Li said couldn't impress the Supreme Empress, and her anger didn't dissipate.
Wei Weilin saw Meng Li go in for a while, and thought of the instructions Meng Li gave him in the carriage.
Meng Li had already arranged for Weixing Lin. She would go in for a while, and then let the ministers shout outside.
This makes it seem that everyone is looking forward to the Queen's return to the palace.
He began to encourage the ministers to beg the Supreme Queen to return to the palace together.
Therefore, the silence between Meng Li and the Supreme Empress was broken by the shouts of a group of ministers.
"Please return the Supreme Empress to the palace, please return the Supreme Empress to the palace..."
The Supreme Empress finally turned her head, and seeing Meng Lisu standing behind, Meng Li bent down to salute the Supreme Empress, saying:
"Please return to the palace, mother."
The Supreme Empress snorted and called out the name of the female officer who served her. The female officer opened the door from the outside. The Supreme Empress walked to the door and saw people kneeling on the ground outside begging her to return to the palace.
Kneeling in front of her were Queen Feng and Zhang Ningyun.
Zhang Ningyun raised her head, looked at the Supreme Empress and said:
"Grandmother, let's go back to the palace."
The Empress Taishang moved her lips, and everyone also begged the Empress Taishang. After earning enough face, the Empress Taishang declined first, saying that she was doing well in Nanshan Temple and wanted to pray for the world.
Of course, he sighed a few times later, and agreed as if he was serving the country and the people.
It's just that it's not suitable to leave today, so Meng Li said to stay overnight at Nanshan Temple and start again tomorrow.
Anyway, Meng Li is the queen, and no one would object to such a trivial matter as staying outside for one night.
Let the ministers go freely. There is a large forest behind Nanshan Temple, and you can also play around in it.
Since it is in a temple, everyone has come, and most of the ministers went to ask for fortune-telling.
It was also awkward for Meng Li to stay with the Empress Dowager, so he stayed in the room arranged by the abbot.
Mingyue waits by her side.
Meng Li asked:
"Where is the lady?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness is in the back mountain."
Meng Li groaned, and tapped regularly on the table with his fingers.
I don't know if this is a good opportunity.
The empress and ministers are all there, and there are so many monks in the temple.
And this way the news spreads faster, even if you want to block it, you can't block it.
Meng Li asked Mingyue to tell the abbot that he hoped that the abbot would prepare a fast meal and that everyone would eat together tomorrow morning.
Dinner.
Mingyue complied, and Empress Taishang didn't have any objections when she learned about it. Originally, she led the ministers to have a vegetarian meal, which was a kind of respect for the gods and Buddhas.
The next morning, everyone was there.
Meng Li deliberately arranged Zhang Ningyun to sit beside him.
This table is very big, and it is usually used for monks to eat together, so it can naturally accommodate Meng Li and his group.
To be honest, many people will never have the opportunity to sit at the same table with the Empress and Empress, so I am still a little nervous.
Meng Li told everyone not to restrain themselves, let's eat.
Meng Li ate everything very carefully, carefully, checking for poison.
But to Meng Li's regret, she had already given the opportunity to Zhang Ningyun, but Zhang Ningyun didn't seize the opportunity.
Meng Li finished his vegetarian meal, but he didn't eat anything with extra ingredients.
Glancing at Zhang Ningyun next to her, she was still fidgeting beside Meng Li, not knowing what was going on in her head, her eyes were wandering, she really had an inexplicable and peculiar temperament.
Meng Li wanted to scold him for being mentally retarded.
If she wanted to poison someone, this kind of opportunity couldn't be better. There are a lot of people out there, and it's not easy to find the person who poisoned her.
But in the palace, the scope is narrowed, making it easier to investigate.
Zhang Ningyun didn't know how to grasp the opportunity, which made Meng Li very speechless, fortunately she brought so many people out.
On the one hand, it was to save face for the Empress Dowager, and on the other hand, it was because she wanted so many people to witness Zhang Ningyun's crime.
Leaves people speechless.
When it happens in the palace, it is always easy to carry a lot of mystery, and it always makes people feel that there is another truth.
Meng Li was speechless, so he could only bring this group of people back to the imperial city.
After the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, Meng Li had a talk with the Empress Dowager once, the words were reserved, but the meaning was actually very clear.
It is to let the Supreme Empress take good care of her old age in the palace, and relax her mind. Don't worry so much until the moment of life and death of the country. She will definitely give the Supreme Empress a very dignified old age.
But if the Supreme Empress insists on interfering too much in major and minor matters, and she acts very forcefully, she may damage the bond between mother and daughter.
Facing these words, although the Supreme Empress was angry, she also had a feeling that it was expected.
Sigh, it depends on whether you can think about it or not.
It stands to reason that when you are older, you should make less fuss. You don't know how long you can live. What's the use of fighting so much?
The point is, it may not be possible to win the battle. The queen's wings are stiff, and she should have thought of it long ago. These are things that will happen sooner or later.
