Chapter 577

"General, how can you run to the roof? Come down quickly. The emperor is eager to find you."

Under the roof, the steward called Li Meng on the roof.

Zhong Li said in a low voice: "the emperor is crazy these two days. He always asks you to be around. Even when he deals with the Court Affairs with the minister, he has to ask your opinion about everything. How can he suddenly become close to you?"

Li Meng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Xu is the one who thinks that only my loyalty will not harm him. He is also sad enough that no one can trust a king. "

"Now I know you're a loyal minister. He's committing his own sin." Zhong Li said in a cold voice.

Li Meng looked at her, shook his head and said: "don't talk nonsense. The emperor was bewitched by Qi Zixian. The emperor vaguely understood Qi Zixian's ambition when he assassinated the Empress Dowager. Compared with the emperor, who was planning strategies and foresight in those years, now he can only make people sigh. He was completely decadent by Prince Sheng's blood washing palace. "

"He even forced his brother to revolt with his courage. If he did, he couldn't catch it. To put it bluntly, he would be a counsellor." Zhong Li said with a sneer.

"It's getting late. Go back to the barracks and have a rest." Li Meng said.

"Good." Zhong Li nodded, handed him the wine pot on his waist, and said, "drink a little when you're bored, but don't drink too much."

Li Meng took the bottle and nodded with a faint smile.

"Oh, general, where are you still talking about? You'd better hurry down. The emperor won't see you sleeping."

"Oh, here it is." Li Meng answered and looked at Zhong Li and said, "let's go down."

Zhong Li nods, and they jump down from the roof. Li Meng watches Zhong Li leave, and then walks into the Qianqing palace with the chief steward.

When he went into the hall of Zhaoren, he saw the emperor of Xia pacing back and forth in the hall, and he looked uneasy.

"When I see the emperor, I don't know what's the matter with me." Li Meng saluted.

Seeing him, Xia Huang immediately went over and grabbed his wrist and said, "Ai Qing, you are here just in time. You are sleeping with me."

"Er, emperor, how can I stay with the emperor? Absolutely not." Li Meng said.

"If I want you to sleep together, you will come with me. If anyone dares to say anything, I will cut off his head..."

"Emperor, if other people don't say anything, I can't forget the difference." Li Meng refused.

Xia Huang said bitterly, "Li Meng, you have to accompany me. Otherwise, I can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, many people come to kill me with their swords. You have to stay by my side and protect me. Only in this way can I feel at ease."

"Don't be afraid, the emperor. I will stay outside the bedroom. You can rest assured." Li Meng said.

"No, no, you can't go, you can't go..." Xia Huang tightly grasped Li Meng's wrist and said nothing. His eyes were full of fear.

Li Meng thought about it, looked at it and said to the steward, "please go and get some quilts. I'll sleep under the emperor's Dragon couch."

The steward looked at the emperor. The emperor said, "how can Ai Qing sleep on the ground?"

"It's OK. I often camp in the wild when I fight at the border. It's so warm in this palace. The manager should help me get the quilt, and I'll sleep on the ground." Li Meng said.

"Well, we'll get you a quilt." Then the chief steward ran out of the bedroom.

Soon, a few waiters came in with quilts in their arms, laid the floor in front of the Dragon couch, and they all withdrew.

The emperor of Xia asked the chief steward to go out. He closed the door and tied it.

He ran back in panic, looked at Li Meng, looked around in his sleep, and finally found a rope.

He went to Li Meng and tied the rope to his waist. Then he tied the other end to his wrist.

He raised his hand, looked at Li Meng with a smile and said, "if you run away, I will know. Ha ha."

Li Meng looked at the rope on his waist in surprise. Can this tie him?

He looked at the emperor with a slight frown, tiger eyes deep.

In the past two days, the emperor was fine in the daytime. At night, he was restless, surprised and deceitful. It seemed that there was something wrong with his mind.

"Sleep. If you have Aiqing here, I can sleep at ease." Xia Huang's face finally showed a smile, jumped to the Dragon couch and lay down, covered the quilt and closed his eyes.

Li Meng sighed, lying on the floor with his clothes closed, eyes wide open and sleepless.

He thought that Longyue told Qi Zixian to the emperor. Qi Zixian was determined to die. It seemed that the Emperor didn't want to cure Qi Zixian.

He turned his head and looked at the emperor with his eyes closed. He said softly, "emperor, you can sleep."

"Not yet. What's the matter with Aiqing?" Xia Huang asked with his eyes closed.

"The emperor, how to deal with the case of assassinating the empress dowager, I think it's related to the empress dowager, so I can't do it." Li Meng said.

Xia Huang opened his eyes, turned to Li Meng and said, "how does Ai Qing think this matter should be handled?"

How about him again? In the past two days, he has almost become an assistant minister.Li Meng sighed helplessly and said, "the empress is determined by her death. Someone has designed to frame up the case against her. This matter should be strictly investigated to the end."

"Yes, we have to go on the investigation. I'm sure to find the bandits who want to assassinate my mother." Xia Huang said angrily.

"On the day when the Empress Dowager was assassinated, the minister inspected the guards of Weiyang palace. There were only four guards at the gate of the palace and six maidservants in the palace. How could such lax guard not let the villains succeed.

Emperor, you specially told the empress to take good care of the Empress Dowager. Will the Empress Dowager's Weiyang palace be so lax? If you don't know, it's that you didn't take good care of the Empress Dowager as you said. As the head of the harem, it's a serious dereliction of duty. As a daughter-in-law, it's even more unsophisticated, immoral and unfilial. " Li Meng said.

"Hum." Xia Huang snorted coldly and said, "Ai Qing is right. This bitch dares to ignore my words. She almost killed my mother and empress. She abandoned her when she understood me."

"It's no small matter that the empress has been in power for you for many years. I'm afraid there are many courtiers who support the empress. If you really want to abolish the empress, it may cause chaos in the court. The emperor should make a good plan.

The empress really has some suspicions about the assassination of the Empress Dowager. It's better to let the empress avoid the suspicion and recover the jade seal and Phoenix seal in the hands of the empress and gradually weaken her rights.

If the Empress Dowager's assassination is really done by the Empress Dowager and the truth is revealed to the world, even if there are people loyal to the empress dowager, they dare not jump out to resist. " Li Meng said.

"Yes, Ai Qing's words are reasonable. I'll do it according to her words." Xia Huang said excitedly.

Li Meng looked at Xia Huang and thought that he was really obedient. If this little thing was Xia Huang who was good at trickery four years ago, how could he use him to support it.

Again, Xia Huang always blinks his eyes quickly. His eyes are floating and in a state of panic. This is obviously hysteria.
