The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

When Yun Mujiu first came into contact with the Meng family, he clearly expressed his decision not to require any help from the Meng family.

However, Duke Meng insisted that he had said to Yun Mujiu: "A family must stand together." He even told a kind lie to comfort Yun Mujiu: "We are not standing on your side, but we weighed the pros and cons and felt that it is safer to follow the Night King."

After Duke Meng lied to Yun Mu Jiumei, he explained and analyzed the situation to other family members of the Meng Mansion.

First of all, the family must stand together, this is an obligation.

Secondly, even if they did not express their intention to support the Night King's faction, under the turbulent court, the Meng Mansion would be like a floating duckweed. Although they could barely protect themselves, what could they do? It would be better to put the useful forces on supporting Yun Mujiu and the Night King. If one prospers, all prosper, if one suffers, all suffer. At least everyone stands together.

Yun Mujiu was unable to persuade Duke Meng to make his decision, so he could only pass on some news to the Meng Mansion from time to time, so as to expand the Meng Mansion's information network and better protect his own safety.

When they arrived outside Duke Meng's bedroom, Yun Mujiu had already informed Meng Ninglang of some of the things he had found out recently, and reminded him, "You need to be careful as an official in the court, lest you be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."

Meng Ninglang waved his hands, "Hey, it's nothing. I'm not afraid of them." He looked at Yun Mujiu eagerly and said, "Thank you for your concern, cousin. I will pay attention to it."

Yun Mujiu nodded in satisfaction and knocked lightly on the door.

There was a crisp knock on the door. Duke Meng raised his eyebrows slightly and withdrew his thoughts.

The last thought that flashed through his mind was: Did his wife have something important to tell him before she passed away?

Duke Meng had just finished lunch and was very happy to see Yun Mujiu suddenly coming over. The kind smile on his face never faded.

Yun Mujiu insisted on paying respects to Duke Meng and checking his pulse. Under the effect of the medicine she prepared, Duke Meng was in better shape than before.

Yun Mujiu also took Meng Ninglang's pulse and finally shook his head slightly, which scared Meng Ninglang half to death. He almost knelt down to Yun Mujiu.

"Mu Jiu, please tell me what happened to me?"

"Meng Ninglang, you seem a little weak!" Yun Mujiu said bluntly.

Meng Ninglang's face turned dark in an instant. In the eyes of Duke Meng, this expression seemed like his guilty conscience had been exposed.

Duke Meng slapped his cane and scolded him directly, "What are you busy with all day, kid? Don't do anything that would bring disgrace to our family!"

"God can bear witness to my innocence!" Meng Ninglang wailed non-stop, jumping up and down anxiously: "I'm alone, how could I go out and fool around! Grandfather, you have to believe me! Cousin, sister, you have to believe me too!"

Yun Mujiu chuckled and first comforted Duke Meng: "Grandfather, don't worry, Meng Ninglang will be fine."

Duke Meng smiled kindly at Yun Mujiu, "Mujiu, we don't need to worry about this brat. He was naughty when he was at the border, and I don't think he can change back to his naughty personality for a while now."

Duke Meng still had some understanding of Meng Ninglang, not to mention that the Meng family had a clear and upright family tradition, and Meng Ninglang would not and would not allow himself to fall into the family tradition. He was saying that Meng Ninglang was naughty, not naughty to the point of being a playboy.

Meng Ninglang wanted to burst into tears, his grandfather really didn't give him face. In fact, he was slowly changing, after all, he had to support the Meng family in the future, and also support Yun Mujiu and Ye Wang!

Yun Mujiu nodded to Duke Meng and turned to look at Meng Ninglang.

"Why are you so anxious? I haven't said anything to you yet." She didn't even tell him the symptoms or the cause of the disease, so why was Meng Ninglang so panicked? It turned out that he was young and full of energy, and couldn't keep his mind steady.

"Sister, please speak."

Yun Mujiu sipped his tea slowly and did not give Meng Ninglang a prompt reply for a while.

In just a few breaths, Meng Ninglang recalled many things, and various speculations came one after another.

Seeing Yun Mujiu's serious expression, could it be that he had some serious illness? But why didn't he notice anything wrong recently?

In an instant, Meng Ninglang's fingertips began to tremble, and thousands of thoughts rolled into his mind.

Meng Ninglang was born in the southern border of Zhongyue since he was a child. Logically, he should have been born in the capital.

However, Meng broke with the Meng family, and the emperor favored Prime Minister Yun. Duke Meng, feeling extremely disappointed with Meng, chose to accept the emperor's transfer.

Before the Meng family moved out of the capital, Meng had already taken the initiative to sever ties with the Meng family, determined to be with Yun Boliang, who had just taken up the position of Left Prime Minister of Zhongyue State.

No matter how Duke Meng and Old Madam He persuaded her, Mrs. Meng remained unmoved. She even said many harsh words to the people in the Meng Mansion and was unwilling to meet with them.

Seeing that the daughter whom she had carefully raised for many years was going to be with a Phoenix man, and that Phoenix man was said to have a bad reputation, and had already pursued several noble ladies from aristocratic families in a high-profile manner before Meng.

Duke Meng and others did not think that Yun Xiang was a person worthy of trust, and Yun Xiang had fought his way up to the position of Prime Minister from a poor family. Regardless of how selfish and vicious he was, or that he had done all kinds of bad things for the Emperor in order to keep him as a big backer, in short, Yun Xiang was not a person who could be trusted in terms of character, morality, and future.

However, Meng still refused to listen to the persuasion of the people in the Meng Mansion. She insisted on fulfilling her engagement with Yun Xiang and stood firmly behind Yun Xiang.

The Emperor issued a transfer order to Duke Meng's mansion. Duke Meng could no longer stay in the capital, nor could he persuade Mrs. Meng to leave Yunxiang. In addition, he was extremely disappointed with Mrs. Meng, so he had no choice but to accept the transfer order.

During the three days after the Meng family moved to the Meng Mansion, Mrs. Meng did not send any news to the Meng Mansion, as if she had completely forgotten her family.

Three days later, Duke Meng, Old Madam He, Meng Shihao and the Yi couple left the capital together.

Half a month later, they arrived at a small town on the border. Not long after, Yi gave birth to Meng Ninglang.

Due to the harsh living environment at that time and Yi's inability to adapt to the local climate, Meng Ninglang was weak since his mother's womb and was often sick after birth, which was a cause of great worry.

Meng Ninglang nearly died several times, and after a few years he often suffered from some kind of serious illness.

Meng Ninglang has been in poor health since he was a child and has suffered from various diseases.

The Meng family was very concerned about their only child and often sought doctors from inside and outside the town to get better treatment for Meng Ninglang.

With the meticulous care of Duke Meng's Mansion, Meng Ninglang's health improved a lot after he turned eight, except for a period of illness once a year.

When Meng Ninglang was seventeen years old, he thought he was in good health and would never suffer from any sudden illness again. In order to meet Yun Mujiu in advance, he arrived in the capital early without telling the Meng family.

Unexpectedly, after being chased by Yun Xiang's secret guards, he suffered from respiratory alkalosis due to excitement. Fortunately, Yun Mujiu, who knew about this disease, immediately rescued him.

...

Now that Meng Ninglang has not had any relapse of his illness, looking at Yun Mujiu's solemn expression and his grandfather's look of disappointment, he feels more and more uneasy.

It’s over, what’s wrong with me!
