Chapter 1517 Catastrophe

Xiao Rongyan's eyes were deep under the mask. After bowing to the Queen Mother Yan, he straightened up and said in a solemn and majestic voice: "If you don't come back, there will be big trouble in the Yan Kingdom!"

After saying that, Xiao Rongyan turned to Meng Shangshu: "Medicinal materials are not allowed to be sent to the cities of the Zhou Dynasty in the Yan Kingdom, but Meng Shangshu advised the Queen Mother?"

When Meng Shangshu heard this, he knew that Xiao Rongyan should have known it, and he couldn't argue any more. He bowed hurriedly and saluted: "Prince Regent, now the two countries are gambling. An epidemic broke out in the Yan Kingdom, and it was in the city of Zhou Dynasty." ...The epidemic is also getting more and more severe. This is a good opportunity given by God to Yan State to win, so Wei Chen suggested that the Queen Mother make preparations in advance."

The silver mask with a cold light covered Xiao Rongyan's facial features, and his calm and indifferent voice made it even more difficult to hear his emotions: "Ready?"

Meng Shangshu looked at Xiao Rongyan who was standing with his hands behind his back, took a step forward and said: "According to the original covenant signed, the population calculation after three years will also be an important part of measuring national affairs and national policies..."

"So three years later, Meng Shangshu wants our Yan State city to become an empty city?"

Xiao Rongyan's voice suddenly became louder, and the ministers in the court, who were overwhelmed by the power, couldn't stand, fell to their knees, and kowtowed.

Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes and stared at Meng Shangshu who was kneeling in embarrassment. He walked half a circle around him and looked at Meng Shangshu condescendingly: "Trapped the city designated by the State of Yan for Zhou, and did not allow the herbal medicine to be sent in. Meng Shangshu... this killing It’s our own people! At that time, the Yan State was in dire straits. If these people hadn’t scrimped on food and clothing, how could the Yan State have gotten to where it is today? Your Majesty is young and doesn’t know, the Queen Mother may not know that she has been living in the harem for a long time, and Meng Shangshu doesn’t know either?”

The Queen Mother of Yan wanted to speak for Meng Shangshu, but before she could speak, she saw Xiao Rongyan looking towards the high-ranking people: "If the people in power cannot protect their own people, how can they deserve the taxes and support of the people of Yan?"

"Ayan, Meng Shangshu is also for our Yan country..." The Queen Mother Yan spoke hastily, but she did not have enough confidence.

However, Xiao Rongyan seemed not to have heard what the Queen Mother Yan said, and spoke slowly: "Meng Shangshu, you tempted the Queen Mother to put Your Majesty under house arrest. After the Queen Mother came to power, you also tempted the Queen Mother to abandon the people. You deserve to die..."

"Prince Regent Mingjian! I don't dare!" Meng Shangshu opened his eyes wide and kowtowed.

Even the Queen Mother Yan couldn't stand still and hurriedly explained: "Ayan, how could you have wronged my sister-in-law like this! Ah Li obviously left the palace privately...and then contracted the epidemic, so my sister-in-law was ordered to die in danger..."

"In this case, now that my son is well, I would like to ask my mother to return to the harem to take care of herself!"

Murong Li's voice came from outside the palace. Empress Dowager Yan suddenly tightened her palms. Some of the courtiers who were kneeling and kowtowing without daring to raise their heads bravely raised their heads and saw the pale and weak Murong Li being supported by Yue Shi and Wang Jiuzhou. When I walked into the main hall, I thought that the emperor had contracted an epidemic. I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do. There were people on both sides and there was no way to hide, so I had to bury my head lower and hold my breath.

Queen Mother Yan tightened her fists, glanced at Xiao Rongyan, then looked at Murong Li and said hurriedly: "A Li, why are you recovering from this illness?"

"I was just infected with wind and cold. I'm fine now. It's not like I was infected with an epidemic. It's just... my mother is so worried!" Murong Li walked to Xiao Rongyan and bowed to Xiao Rongyan, "Uncle Ninth!"

"The medicine in your body has not yet been resolved, so there is no need to be polite." Xiao Rongyan pointed out that Murong Li was drugged, and he did not spare any face for the Queen Mother Yan.

When Murong Li heard Xiao Rongyan's words, he also understood what Xiao Rongyan meant. He tightened his fists at his sides. He thought about how his mother drugged him and trapped the people who had been assigned to the city of Zhou by the State of Yan. He also thought about how those people had once been Having shared the joys and sorrows with the Yan Kingdom, he made up his mind and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Wang Jiuzhou... You personally send your mother back to the palace and let her rest well. If you are still as ignorant as Meng Shangshu, you disturb your mother." It’s pure, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

As soon as Murong Li said these words, Meng Shangshu basically had no way out.

Meng Shangshu closed his eyes. He was fighting to the death. He was not as fast as the regent, and he did not have the manpower and royal blood of the regent. It was reasonable to lose...

"Ah Li! Ah Li..." The Queen Mother Yan looked at Wang Jiuzhou and others who were walking towards her quickly, "How reckless! The Ai family belongs to the Queen Mother of the Yan Kingdom. Who of you dare to touch me!"

"Queen Mother, calm down!" Wang Jiuzhou still looked respectful and smiling, "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest. This is for your own good. You are old and it's time to take care of yourself! Please, Queen Mother, I have a heavy hand... …If I were to support the Queen Mother, I might hurt the Queen Mother.”

Empress Dowager Yan stepped back two steps and looked at Xiao Rongyan again: "Ayan! Ayan... This Wang Jiuzhou is your slave, and you just watch him commit crimes like this?"

Xiao Rongyan seemed not to have heard anything. He stared at Meng Shangshu who was lying on the ground and said, "I heard that Meng Shangshu intends to send his daughter to the palace? To become the queen of my country, Yan? What a big ambition!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly turned pale and she almost lost her balance. She didn't expect that Xiao Rongyan even knew about this.

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!" Meng Shangshu kowtowed quickly, fearing that his daughter would be implicated, "Wei Chen has absolutely no such intention. Wei Chen is self-aware, how can my little girl be worthy of Your Majesty? This... this is all the Queen Mother's intention, It has nothing to do with Wei Chen! Queen Mother... Queen Mother, please explain Wei Chen to the Regent!"

"Wang Jiuzhou! Why are you still standing there! Why don't you invite the Queen Mother back to the palace!" Murong Li spoke sternly, with a serious look in his eyes.

After all... the Queen Mother Yan is Murong Li's biological mother. Murong Li once bore the name of betraying the allies for the Queen Mother Yan. Now even if his mother teamed up with Meng Shangshu to drug him and imprison him, by this time... even if he has been implicated. Murong Li still wanted to save some face for his mother and didn't want to embarrass her too much.

This is Murong Li's last act of filial piety to his mother. From now on, he will move his mother out of Yanhuang Palace so that she will never step into Yanhuang Palace again and spend her life peacefully in the palace. Nor will I meet her.

Wang Jiuzhou took the order.

"Queen Mother, please..." Wang Jiuzhou spoke again, reaching out to support Queen Mother Yan. Queen Mother Yan wanted to shake Wang Jiuzhou away, but she felt Wang Jiuzhou's hand holding her arm was so strong that half of her body went numb. He didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to speak, so he could only let Wang Jiuzhou support him and get down from the side of the high platform.

Murong Li looked at his Uncle Ninth and bowed his head as an apology. Then he said to Xiao Rongyan, "If Uncle Ninth hadn't come back in time to save him this time, the country of Yan would have suffered a catastrophe! Uncle Ninth will tell you what happens next." Give it to Ah Li!”
