.    After leaving the banquet hall, Meng Ju let out a long sigh, and the annoyance in his heart eased a little - now whenever he saw Murong Nan's hypocritical smiling face, he became so disgusted that he had just been dealing with this disgusting guy for so long.  , Meng Ju could hold it in almost to the limit.

    Back in the camp, Meng Ju gathered all his men and announced an order: The Dongling Guards have completed the tasks entrusted by His Majesty, and tomorrow morning, the entire army will withdraw and return to the camp.

    "In order to prevent the Northern Bandits from sneaking into the camp at night, the order is passed down: without permission, any outsider who breaks into the military camp without permission will be killed. When camping tonight, each brigade will arrange double the number of armored sergeants to be on guard. Be vigilant and do not slack off.  "

    From Meng Ju¡¯s gentle tone, the officers smelled a sinister smell, and everyone was in awe.

    "Yes, Commander" the Dongling Guard officers responded in unison and then dispersed.

    Meng Ju walked towards the general who was still standing there with a deep frown on his face: "Li Shuai, withdrawing the troops is just my personal decision, not the instructions of the imperial court. I have offended Mr. Nan and Governor Qiao. I am afraid I will be attacked by them when I go back this time."  Li Shuai, who holds a grudge, Mr. Nan seems to value you very much. You and your subordinates can stay in Jincheng."

    Li Chimei raised his head and interrupted Meng Ju rudely: "Prefect, I don't know what happened just now, but I will go forward and retreat with you tomorrow. We will leave together. If anyone obstructs me, I will be your lord."  Cut a bloody path¡ªno matter who the enemy is."

    After saying that, Li Chimei gave a vigorous military salute, turned around and strode out of the door.

    Watching Li Chimei's figure disappear into the dim night, Meng Ju did not look back and said calmly: "Eunuch Ma has been here all along. I heard you just now. What do you think?"

    Chamberlain Ma Gui walked out of the shadow of the candlelight, looking a little embarrassed. When Meng Ju's generals gathered, he was already here, but he kept silent and hid in the dark corner. No one noticed him.

    "The town governor is laughing at our family. What opinion can a eunuch of our family have? It's just the town governor. Although the reinforcements have arrived, the battle in Jincheng is not over yet. You just walked away without caring. This - no  OK?"

    Meng Ju turned around, his dark military robe fluttering in the wind, like a soaring falcon in the sky, his sharp eyes shining brightly in the darkness

    "My father-in-law is overly concerned that Governor Qiao has experienced hundreds of battles and is rich in experience. Your majesty, Nangong, a handsome young man, has appointed two talented people to guard Jincheng. Even if the border troops invade again, they will only ask for trouble - my father-in-law is not at ease."  Governor Qiao, are you still worried about Mr. Nan? Or maybe the father-in-law doesn¡¯t believe in His Majesty¡¯s ability to judge people?¡±

    Ma Gui waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare. Your Majesty is wise and appointed Governor Qiao and Mr. Nan to guard Jincheng. This is naturally no problem. But Governor, you retreated before the matter was completed. In the future, in front of His Majesty, you  Isn¡¯t it easy to do business too?¡±

    "Our troops have been fighting fiercely for days and have suffered heavy casualties. If your Majesty knows the truth, your Majesty is kind and will sympathize with the hard work of our soldiers and order us to withdraw as soon as possible - could Eunuch Ma think that your Majesty is not a benevolent king?"

    Eunuch Ma Gui opened his mouth wide and smiled bitterly - next time, who would dare to say that Governor Meng is a rude martial artist? I am determined to go up and spit on him. With such sharp words and being so good at labeling his opponents, I am afraid that the Hanlin Academy  Those great Confucian scholars who have read many poems are not as good as him

    At this time, Eunuch Ma had completely given up his plan to persuade Meng Ju - to quarrel with the other party. He was no match for this kind of person at all, so he could only say it bluntly. He changed his tone to an affectionate tone: "Governor,  Tell us honestly that you insist on withdrawing the troops. Is it His Royal Highness who ordered you? Tell us, if it was His Highness who ordered it, then our family will be confident and know what to do."

    Meng Ju squinted at Eunuch Ma: "What the father-in-law said is very strange. I don't understand at all. The prince is far away in Luojing. What does our matter have to do with him?"

    The more Meng Ju firmly denied it, the more Eunuch Ma believed it. He must have been secretly instructed by Murong Yi to make trouble with Murong Nan. Ma Gui suddenly said: "Our family understands, understands, this matter has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince - our family  He¡¯s not a fool, so he won¡¯t go out and talk nonsense. His Royal Highness wants to withdraw his troops.¡±

    "Father, be careful what you say"

    "Oh, that's strange for us. Governor, what's the purpose of your insistence on withdrawing the troops? We are so stupid that we can't see it at all."

    Meng Ju sneered: "My father-in-law is very curious, and he likes to get to the bottom of things. There are many things in this world that cannot be seen. For example, father-in-law, do you support His Highness the Crown Prince or Mr. Nan? Even the general cannot tell.  "

    Eunuch Ma laughed: "Haha, our family is just a little slave in the palace, with little knowledge. We don't understand such important things. Anyway, whatever your majesty says, our family will do it."

    MengJu slightly nodded, and Eunuch Ma's answer was as he expected. Eunuchs are the servants around the emperor, and their power can only exist depending on the emperor. It is impossible for them to express their inclination to the dispute over the heir apparent. But Meng Ju  The purpose of talking to Ma Gui was not to understand his attitude. He asked directly: "Eunuch, do you understand the marriage between Mr. Nan and the Ye family?"

    "This, our family also heard a little about it when we were camping"

    Seeing Meng Ju wanting to ask but not knowing where to start, Eunuch Ma was very considerate and gave the answer himself: "Actually, we have been discussing with the Ye family about forming an alliance to resist since the Northern Bandits invaded.  Yes, we have been talking about this for half a year."

    "Since forming an alliance to fight against the Northern rebels is beneficial to both families, why do we have to talk for so long?"

    Ma Gonggong laughed twice. The secret behind this is really not something that can be told to outsiders. However, Meng Ju has a close relationship with Murong Yi and the Ye family. Even if he doesn't tell it, he can get the news from those two families afterwards.  Yes, you don¡¯t have to be a villain in vain, you might as well reveal it to him to sell some friendship.

    ¡°The governor is not an outsider, so it¡¯s okay to tell you, but you must not let it out.

    At the beginning, our two families discussed forming an alliance. Both His Majesty and Mr. Ye were interested in getting married, but there was an obstacle. Our Crown Prince had already gotten married and had been conferred the title of Princess. The Ye family was unwilling to let their daughter serve as a concubine. So,  , His Majesty proposed a flexible method: the third prince Nan Gongzi and the Ye family's girl Zijun are also very suitable in age. How about getting them married?

    But Mr. Ye was firmly opposed. He said that Miss Ye Zijun could only marry the prince of the Murong family as the princess, and there were no other conditions to be negotiated.

    Just because of this, the covenant matter has come to a stalemate. It has been delayed for half a year. Mr. Ye is really calm. Seeing that His Majesty did not agree, they have been holding back and watching us lose the battle in the company.  He refused to send a few Mingjue masters to help him, and he didn't even think about it. If the Northern Thieves were to win, what would happen to the Ye family?  "

    "My father-in-law, wait a minute, you said that the covenant was never completed because of Mr. Ye's objections. But why did I hear Mr. Nan say that he and Miss Ye Zijun already had a marriage contract?"

    Eunuch Ma looked at Meng Ju with a very strange look in his eyes and said: "This, our family doesn't know. Maybe the father-in-law of the Ye family was persuaded by your majesty. He changed his mind and was willing to marry his daughter to Mr. Nan - this  It¡¯s also possible¡±

    Meng Ju sneered at Ma Gui's statement. Meng Ju knew Ye Jianxin too well. This guy's temperament was so stubborn that he was so stubborn that instead of believing that Mr. Ye would change his mind, Meng Ju would rather believe in the third generation of Mu-level Saiyans - wait, what's going on here?  Something's wrong

    Meng Ju glanced at Ma Gui suspiciously, and the latter turned away with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at Meng Ju.

    Meng Ju snorted coldly and ignored him, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, slowly sorting out his thoughts. Where are the clues?

    Ye Jianxin insisted on marrying his daughter to the prince as a princess;

    Ye Jianxin has a stubborn temperament and a firm will. Once he decides on something, he will never change it;

    Ye Jianxin agreed to marry his daughter to Murong Nan;

    In the quiet hall, the cool breeze was blowing, and only the gentle footsteps of Meng Ju were echoing. He suddenly stopped. In the summer of May, he felt cold all over, and he was shivering from the cold.

    Murong Yi¡¯s crown prince position is about to be unstable

    The inference process to come to this conclusion is not complicated. Meng Judu hated himself for being slow. He should have thought of it long ago - unless Murong Po promised Ye Jianxin that he would support Murong Nan as the prince in the future, how could Ye Jianxin agree to this engagement?  ?

    Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see that the power of the Ye family is too great. No matter which prince of the Murong family marries the Ye family, the help that prince will receive will be terrible. It will threaten the power structure of the Murong family. Such a force,  We can only control the true heir of the Murong family - this is equivalent to saying that whoever can marry with the Ye family will be the real prince of the Murong family.

    Murong Po asked Murong Nan to serve as the supervisor of the army to cultivate his reputation and power. This is already a very obvious signal. The reason why he has not publicly announced the replacement of the prince now is probably because the war is tense now and the emperor does not want to shake the rear.  But as long as he makes up his mind, it is probably only a matter of time before Murong Yi loses power.

    "I will leave tomorrow and go back to Luojing to see the prince." Meng Ju's tone was very firm.

    Ma Gui hesitated for a moment, and finally had no way out. It was useless to dissuade Meng Ju. Now, Meng Ju's great backer Murong Yi was about to lose his position. Meng Ju did not go back to find out the news and wait and see the situation, but stayed on the front line.  If you are fighting with the border troops, you are really going to have water in your head.

    "Governor, if you want to go back to Luojing, we can't stop you. But there are a few things I really want to say to you: These are troubled times. A general like you who is good at fighting will definitely treat you no matter who is in power.  Reused Departure from JinchengBefore, our family heard with our own ears that His Majesty praised you, the Governor, saying, "I have obtained this general, and his body is worth as much as gold." Not to mention how much he relies on you.

    ?????????????????????? Although Mr. Xuan had some issues with you before, isn¡¯t Mr. Nan still polite to you now?

    "A general like you who can win battles is not afraid of traveling all over the world. Who else is not getting paid and rewarded like you?"

    His Royal Highness, Mr. Nan, no matter which young master takes charge of the world in the future, this is a major matter for Your Majesty to consider. We ministers do not need to mingle, and we cannot afford to mingle. As long as you fight honestly, your Majesty will definitely be indispensable when the Northern traitors are put down.  No one else in our family dares to boast about that generous gift. A marquis can never escape. In the future, you will be rich and prosperous, and your children and grandchildren will all benefit from it.

    Of course, our family said this a bit selfishly - this cannot be hidden from the Governor, the Governor, you will defeat the Northern traitors in the future and capture Tuoba Xiong alive. His Majesty was in a good mood at that time, watching our family keep  For all the hard work of running around with the town governor, maybe he will do some good for our family.

    Governor, you are both civil and military, and you will definitely be a big shot in the future. We know that we cannot compete with you. If your majesty is willing to reward our family with some money for old age, let us leave the palace, and let us buy hundreds of dollars in our hometown.  We can hire people to plant acres of dry land, adopt a child from my uncle as an adopted son and give it to our family as an adopted son, and live out our lives peacefully as a wealthy family, then our family will be satisfied."

    Ma Gui was talking nonchalantly, and Meng Ju was silent so that he could tell that the eunuch in front of him did say this to him with good intentions, and his words did come from the bottom of his heart and were not false.

    Looking at Ma Gui¡¯s expectant eyes, Meng Ju could only secretly apologize: It¡¯s a pity, your paths and mine are not the same.

    He said coldly and without emotion: "We will set off tomorrow morning. Father-in-law, please remember not to be late."

    In the early morning of May 9th, the soldiers and horses of Dongpingling Guards evacuated Jincheng

    Compared with the lively scene of the overwhelming welcome last night when the reinforcements arrived, Meng Ju seemed very deserted when he left. There was not even a single person to see him off - fortunately, Meng Ju did not expect Qiao Ying and Murong Nan to come with him.  Performing a tearful farewell scene, as long as they don't come to cause trouble, I will be satisfied

    The weather was bright and sunny, and there were no accidents along the way as the Dongling Guards and Horses marched quickly. At sunset and dusk, the soldiers and horses had arrived at the outskirts of Zapo County.

    Because advance personnel were sent to report the news, the camp had already made arrangements for Meng Ju's arrival. The Ministry of War sent several officials from the Ministry of War to wait outside the city to welcome Meng Ju. They were like stars accompanying the moon, surrounding a man wearing a green robe.  The aging chambermaid

    Seeing the old chamberlain, Eunuch Ma Gui hurriedly greeted him: "Eunuch Wu, you have come here in person because of me? But does your Majesty have any instructions?"

    The old eunuch smiled with his wrinkled face, nodded kindly to Ma Gui, but walked straight towards Meng Ju: "This must be Mr. Meng from Dongping? Our family is Wu Ping, the leader of the Royal Horse Supervisor.  By order of His Majesty, I am here to await your arrival, Mr. Meng."

    ?You can tell by looking at Ma Gui's style. This must be a very important chamberlain. Meng Ju bowed his hands and saluted: "When I see Eunuch Wu, he has worked hard and my father-in-law came out to greet me. How can I take this responsibility?"

    The old eunuch laughed dryly: "Mr. Meng defeated the Northern traitors and turned the tide, and the credit goes to Sheji. This is a great contribution to Qingtian's protection. Our family welcomes you. This is what His Majesty also planned to come to greet in person.  , but it¡¯s a pity that we were delayed because of other important things, so I asked our family to come over for a visit. I hope Mr. Meng won¡¯t dislike our old family.¡±

    Looking at the three scattered cats and two dogs in front of him, Meng Ju didn't even believe that Murong Po really planned to come to greet him in person. Everyone just listened to the polite words. Meng Ju also said the polite words:  "What did your father-in-law say? Who doesn't know that Eunuch Wu is the most favored person around the emperor. When the father-in-law comes, it is almost like the emperor coming. He is as honored as the general."

    "Hey, what Governor Meng said went too far. Our family is just the emperor's slaves, how can we compare with the emperor? Master Meng's words are over the top, over the top, haha~"

    After some pleasantries, the atmosphere was very friendly, and Eunuch Wu finally explained his purpose: he had brought Murong Po's imperial edict, which he wanted to promulgate to Meng Ju. After hearing this, Eunuch Ma Gui and several officials nearby quickly helped to find the case.  Meng Ju knelt down on the stage and incense burner to receive the order. He heard Eunuch Wu shouting four and six parallel lines in his drake voice. Meng Ju was confused and his eyes were blank. Although he had the reputation of being a scholar,  , but he doesn¡¯t have half the ability to be a scholar.

    Fortunately, Eunuch Wu has been through many scenes of announcing edicts to military generals, and he knows how much information these Qiu Ba gang has. The beautiful essays that the Hanlin Academy took great pains to produce in response to the edicts are purely for the blind to see, while Meng Ju's performance is not bad.  Not surprising

    He laughed dryly and said: "Mr. Meng, I have accepted the order. Congratulations to His Majesty for your kindness. You must take it into your heart. We will go back and pay the order."??, Mr. Meng is free someday, so you might as well come and have a chat with me."

    Meng Ju sent away Eunuch Wu and several officials from the Ministry of War who were congratulating him in confusion. He took out the imperial edict and threw it to Ma Gui: "Old Ma, please help me see what the emperor has rewarded me for?"

    According to Ma Gui, Emperor Murong Po was indeed very generous to Meng Ju, and the rewards included the following:

    1. Promote Meng Ju to serve as the Governor of Northern Xinjiang, concurrently serving as the imperial censor of Zuodu and bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. His official title is Congyipin, and he is in charge of the military and political affairs of the six towns in Northern Xinjiang;

    2. Confer Meng Ju the title of Chicheng Bo, granting the title of 300 households;

    Three: Reward 200,000 taels of silver for military merit

    When Meng Ju heard this, he felt dumbfounded: The land in Northern Xinjiang was now occupied by himself and was not under the jurisdiction of the Murong family at all. Murong Po's generosity to others was really convenient. As for the title of Chicheng Bo and Chicheng Bo  Three hundred feudal households - well, Meng Ju can only say that Murong Po is really good at using other people's things as favors

    However, when he goes out from now on, Meng Ju can also pretend to call himself "Ben Bo" or "Ben Du", and when he meets Qiao Ying, Xuan Wenke and other town commanders, he can be on an equal footing with them. This is also a good thing.

    Meng Ju asked: "Did your Majesty say when he would receive me?"

    Ma Gui read the imperial edict again: "There is nothing in the imperial edict that Your Majesty said, Governor, you have worked hard in successive battles, and you have granted your troops a month's rest."

    Meng Ju nodded silently, thinking that this is how an emperor should be. Qiao Ying and Murong Nan are pure generals. In order to win, they can do whatever it takes. But after all, Murong Po holds the title of emperor, so he must take all things into consideration when doing things.  They gathered thousands of miles to come for reinforcements, defeated the powerful enemy, and turned the tide. The Murong family also forced him to fight continuously without allowing him to rest. If this kind of thing spreads, Murong Po cannot afford to lose face.

    However, the emperor did not even have a routine interview with a general who had returned triumphantly and had just been ennobled as a first-class governor. This was also very abnormal. This also revealed Murong Po's warning - for Meng Ju in  The emperor is very unhappy with the behavior of disobeying the commander's military orders on the front line and will not do it next time.

    That night, Meng Ju rested in the camp for a night, and the next day he led his troops to leave the camp and march toward Luojing. When Meng Ju rushed from Luojing to Bingzhou, he walked for a total of thirteen days on the road. But this time he traveled from Bingzhou to Luojing.  On the way back, Meng Ju was so anxious that he hurried all the way and arrived in Luojing in only eight days. He stationed his troops outside the city and hurried into the city with a few soldiers.

    At the gate of Luojing City, he was still greeted by Brigade Commander Wei Tiexin

    Meng Ju noticed that from a distance, Wei Tiexin had a serious look on his face, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with deep sorrow. When Meng Ju came closer, he tried his best to put on a smile and said, "Welcome to the Governor.  After returning in triumph, the Governor showed off his power in Jincheng and when the news came that he had defeated the Northern Thieves, His Highness the Crown Prince was so happy that he drank several glasses of wine that night."

    After returning from Jincheng, almost everyone Meng Ju met had to say the same congratulations to him. Meng Ju almost vomited when he heard it. He interrupted Wei Tiexin rudely: "Commander of the Wei Brigade, Your Highness the Crown Prince."  Are you in the city?"

    "Yes, His Highness is in the palace, but he has something to do and cannot come to greet him in person today, so the general will do it for him."

    "I have something important to do. I need to see His Highness tonight. Please inform the Commander-in-Chief of the Brigade as soon as possible - tonight, there are urgent, life-and-death matters."

    Wei Tiexin looked at Meng Ju in surprise. He could feel the trace of anger hidden under Meng Ju's calm tone. What happened to make this famous general who had just returned from victory so anxious?

    Wei Tiexin knew that His Highness the Crown Prince valued Meng Ju very much, and he did not dare to ignore Meng Ju's request: "I will inform His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, but I still ask the town governor to go to the city to rest first."

    Returning to Luojing this time, Meng Ju¡¯s residence was still in Siyiguan. Wei Tiexin sent him to his residence and left before leaving. Meng Ju walked around anxiously in the house alone, as irritated as if he was trapped in a cage.  tiger

    After rushing back from the front line as if on fire, Meng Ju only held one thought: he must prevent the marriage between Ye Jianan and Murong Nan.

    As for how to proceed with this matter, Meng Ju had no idea, but he was certain of one thing: Murong Yi was his most reliable ally in this matter.

    If the Ye family and Murong Nan get married, and Murong Nan gets help from the Ye family, this will also be a disaster for the prince Murong Yi. As for whether Murong Yi has the ability to stop this -  Meng Ju didn't even care that his emperor, Murong Po, was away at war. Murong Yi was the highest military and political officer in Luojing. He had great power. This was a matter of life and death. A prince overseeing the country could always accomplish something if he risked his life.

    Having made up his mind, Meng Ju waited in the Siyi Pavilion for Murong Yi to come over. He was restless and waited from dusk to midnight until all the people in the Siyi Pavilion came.Lights were lit everywhere, and then he heard the long-awaited call: "His Royal Highness has arrived."

    We were very familiar with each other, and Meng Ju didn't pay attention to politeness anymore. He hurried out of the room and bumped into Murong Yi who came in in the hall.

    Meng Ju was surprised when he saw Murong Yi - compared to when he left last month, Murong Yi looked worse. His face was an unhealthy pale color, his face had become thinner, and his body was thin.  Wrapped in a black robe, it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

    What worried Meng Ju was the vigor and sharpness that the former border military attache had, the aggressive spirit that burned like a flame, the always confident and inspiring aura, the bright and sharp eyes, and the hearty voice.  ¡ª¡ªAll these have disappeared from Murong Yi

    Murong Yi was wearing a black silk robe, with his shoulders drooped and his eyes dim. Meng Ju felt that there was a very uncomfortable atmosphere around Murong Yi, as if there was a layer of black mist, tightly lingering.  At first glance, others would think he is an old man.

    Seeing Murong Yi's appearance, Meng Ju couldn't help but feel nervous. He hurried forward to greet him and held Murong Yi's hand: "Prince, state affairs are serious, you have to take care of yourself. Look at you like this."

    Seeing Meng Ju¡¯s expression so moved, Murong Yi felt slightly moved in his heart. He held Meng Ju¡¯s hand behind his back and shook it vigorously. He looked at Meng Ju for a moment and said in a deep voice: ¡°Come, let¡¯s go in and talk.¡±

    In the hall, the two sat opposite each other and chatted for a while. Murong Yi congratulated Meng Ju on his achievements in Jincheng, and also congratulated Meng Ju on becoming the Duke of Chicheng.

    "Your Highness, you know these things, haha. It's better to get more battle armor and silver to make it more economical."

    Murong Yi smiled, thinking that this Brother Meng really dared to say that he didn't even think highly of his father's reward. However, since the people present were all confidants, he was not afraid of rumors spreading about the conversation. Murong Yi waved his hand and drove away the followers around him.  Got out

    "Brother Meng, I also know that compared to your merits, this reward is indeed a bit sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it. Now I am not in charge of the family. You have to believe that in the future, I will definitely make it up to you one day."

    Murong Yi changed the subject: "I heard from Tie Xin that you came back in a hurry and wanted to see me? Is there something important?"

    "It was exactly when I heard something on the front line that I felt very worried, so I hurried back. I heard that Mr. Ye was going to marry his daughter Ye Zijun to Murong Nan?"

    Meng Ju suddenly mentioned this matter. Murong Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slowly with a cold light in his eyes: "There is such a thing that Mr. Ye has indeed made an engagement with his father."

    Seeing Murong Yi's calm look, Meng Ju wanted to pick up the tea cup and smash this idiot to death who didn't know he was about to die. He suppressed the impatience in his heart and persuaded him: "Brother Murong, if this matter happens  It¡¯s done, it¡¯s going to be very bad for you. I¡¯ve seen your younger brother on the front line. From the looks of him, he doesn¡¯t look like someone who wants to be subordinate to others. Then, with the Ye family as his backing, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to keep his peace in the future. I think your Majesty  His mind seems to be a little shaken now - we have to disturb him about this matter, and we must not let your brother marry the daughter of the Ye family smoothly."

    Meng Ju said it bluntly, but Murong Yi knew that these were heartfelt words that only a true person could say. Thinking of the other party's painstaking efforts in coming back from Bingzhou for more than ten days to discuss countermeasures with him, Murong Yi couldn't help but be slightly moved: This Meng Ju  Brother, you really care about your own affairs.

    He said softly: "Brother Meng, don't worry, I don't think it will happen."

    "Ah? Brother Murong, you are too careless. Mr. Ye and His Majesty have already been engaged, and you still say that?"

    "My father and my father-in-law have agreed on a marriage contract, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Xiao Nan will marry Miss Ye."

    Meng Ju sat up straight and frowned. Murong Yi's words became more and more incomprehensible, and it became increasingly difficult for him to understand him: "Your Highness, you mean that there are other children in your Murong family? Do you plan to let them go?"  Is he going to marry Miss Ye?"

    Murong Yi shook his head: "The only direct descendants of this generation are me and Xiao Nan, and there is no one else."

    "Then, this engagement"

    "I believe that if Mr. Ye is given a choice, between me and Xiaonan, he should be inclined to choose me. After all, he has chosen me once before."

    Murong Yi's answer was completely beyond Meng Ju's expectation. Meng Ju was stunned for a moment: "But I heard that when Mr. Ye chooses a son-in-law, he wants the royal princess. But Brother Murong, you have already conferred the title of princess -  ¡ªI remember, she was the young lady from He Shangteng¡¯s family in the previous dynasty¡¯s household department? Brother Murong, are you afraid that Mr. Ye won¡¯t agree to this obstacle? He is very stubborn and hard to talk to.¡±

    Speaking of this, Meng Ju's mind flashed with inspiration, and he blurted out: "Could it be that, Brother Murong, you put TaiIs the concubine divorced?  "

    Meng Ju still remembered that when the Murong family lost power, everyone thought that the Murong family was in ruins, and even He Shangteng, who was engaged to them, wanted to regret their marriage. However, Miss He was so devoted to Murong Yi that she ignored the opposition of her family and threatened to die.  She just married Murong Yi - you know, at that time, everyone thought that marrying the Murong family was just waiting to confiscate the family and exterminate the family. Miss He's feelings for Murong Yi were truly unswervingly loyal and they would live and die together.

    Murong Yi wouldn¡¯t be so cruel. In order to marry Ye Canaan, he actually divorced his wife?

    But immediately, Meng Ju overturned his guess: It is impossible for Murong Yi to be so ungrateful and abandon his first wife, his wife, who lived and died with him in order to marry the daughter of the Ye family. The world's saliva alone would be enough to drown him.  It is absolutely impossible for the Ye family to marry their daughter to such a treacherous and notorious person.

    Murong Yi's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Meng, please don't mess up."

    As if afraid of Meng Ju's inquiring eyes, Murong Yi lowered his head to drink tea. Then he put down the tea cup and stared at the ripples of tea in the cup. His whole body was as motionless as a wood carving and clay sculpture. The room was so quiet that he could hear the night wind blowing on the windows.  the sound of

    After a long time, Murong Yi began to speak. His voice was weak, as if coming from a far away place: "The Crown Princess He suddenly fell ill late at night five days ago. I asked the imperial doctor to come over for treatment overnight, but I still have to wait.  The imperial doctor arrived, and she had already left. I have been busy at home for the past two days, otherwise I would have gone to the city gate to greet your poor He. She has been with me for so long, even though she is called the Crown Prince.  Concubine, I have been worried all day long, but I haven¡¯t enjoyed a single day of happiness.¡±

    As he spoke, Murong Yi wiped his eyes. His eyes were red, as if tears were about to burst out of his eyes. From the beginning to the end, he never raised his head to look at Meng Ju.

    Meng Ju stared at Murong Yi for a full ten seconds, and then he said hesitantly and stiffly: "Your Highness, the dead cannot be resurrected. The frontline military affairs are serious, and Luo Jing still has to rely on you to take charge of the overall situation. Please also ask  Please take heart and take heart.¡±

    Hearing Meng Ju's condolences, Murong Yi raised his head, nodded slightly to express his gratitude to Meng Ju, and then he quickly lowered his head again - at this moment when they looked at each other, Meng Ju had already caught a glimpse of the trace in the other's red and swollen eyes.  Invisible panic and fear

    In an instant, Meng Ju understood everything. He stared at Murong Yi in horror. At this moment, that familiar and friendly face suddenly became so strange and terrifying. His mind went blank. He was so shocked that he couldn't think or breathe.
