Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

At the beginning of the new year, the capital city was in turmoil.

Some families who were planning to host banquets at the beginning of the year were worried about getting into trouble, so they simply canceled the banquets and visited relatives and friends.

But there are also some who are bold enough not to care at all, such as the Cui family and the Song family.

Cui Jian was clever enough to think that his son Cui Chen was a close minister of Emperor Yuan Qing. He intended to prove his family's loyalty to Emperor Yuan Qing by distancing himself from the Prince Heng's Palace.

So on the first day of the New Year, he went to the palace to pay his respects.

Although he did not wait for Emperor Yuanqing to summon him, he was still complacent.

Compared with them, the Song family is more desperate.

On New Year's Eve, Song Jinyan had to guard the palace gate and was unable to attend the palace banquet, nor did he know what exactly happened at the banquet.

It was already late at night when he learned from the officials attending the banquet that Meng Yunshang had been poisoned and was unconscious.

He was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, so he had no way to visit the palace.

After learning that Lu Chenxiao had brought the person back to the palace, he rushed to ask for a meeting, but was stopped outside the palace.

After some discussion, the doorman not only did not let him in, but instead humiliated him severely.

Unwilling to give up, Song Jinyan rushed to the Prime Minister's Residence to ask to see Cheng Mengjinyou.

I hope he can tell Meng Yunshang the true condition of her body because of their past relationship.

Not only did Meng Jinyou not tell him the first-hand information, but he personally kicked him out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Jinyan walked in the empty street in a daze, completely unaware that Meng Shuyao was actually following him.

Watching him being ridiculed by the doorman of Prince Heng's Mansion and being beaten black and blue by Meng Jinyou.

And all this is because of Meng Yunshang.

Even though she was poisoned and unconscious, Meng Yunshang still caused unrest in the capital.

She hates it so much!

Why didn't that person poison Meng Yunshang to death directly?

Seeing Song Jinyan walking towards the Song family dejectedly, Meng Shuyao changed direction and quickly turned into the street of the Lu Mansion.

She did not go to the main gate of the Lu Mansion, but went to the back door of the Lu Mansion as she was familiar with the place.

After three long and two short knocks on the door, the door to the backyard was opened from the inside.

An old woman with wrinkles on her face poked her head out. The moment she saw Meng Shuyao, her tone was a little gloomy, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Meng Shuyao pushed the old woman away and strode into the room.

"Where's your mistress? I have something to say to her."

"My master is busy, Madam Song, you should go back quickly, today is the first day of the new year."

"So what if it's New Year's Day? Your house is still just as deserted."

"How dare you!" the old woman scolded with a dark face.

But Meng Shuyao didn't take it seriously. She leaned over to the old woman and whispered, "I have news about Meng Yunshang. Are you sure you want to kick me out?"

The old woman shuddered, stared at Meng Shuyao for a while, then said stiffly, "Follow me."

Meng Shuyao nodded and followed the old woman through twists and turns into a courtyard.

I don’t know what she said when she went in, but when she came out, her face looked a little more amiable.

"Mrs. Song, please come in. Our master wants to see you."

In the large and bright room, the place where the luxurious furniture was originally placed is now empty.

All that was left was a bare table and a few chairs for display.

Meng Shuyao stepped over the threshold and stood in the middle of the room without moving.

Guo Yue, who was sitting quietly at the table, saw her deliberately making trouble, and a flash of hostility flashed across her eyes.

But he quickly returned to his gentle demeanor, "I wonder what message Mrs. Song wants to give me today?"

"During last night's palace banquet, Meng Yunshang was poisoned and unconscious. Now the entire Prince Heng's Mansion is under martial law."

Guo Yue stood up excitedly, "Really?"

Meng Shuyao nodded, "Of course, the emperor has ordered all the great doctors in the world to come to the capital to help her detoxify."

"I heard that Prince Heng had a big fight with the Emperor because of Meng Yunshang's poisoning. He also threatened that if Meng Yunshang couldn't be saved, he would break up with the Emperor."

"That's great!" Guo Yue pretended to be calm and sat back at the table, but her trembling hands revealed her excitement at the moment.

"If you want to take action against Meng Yunshang, now is the best time."

"If I remember correctly, Madam Song and Meng Yunshang are sisters. Do you really want her to die at such a young age?"

Meng Shuyao sneered, "Everyone in the capital knows that Meng Yunshang and I are not on good terms, yet you are using this to test me. No wonder your life in the mansion is getting worse and worse, you are so stupid..."

"Meng Shuyao, you are so outrageous!" Guo Yue was enraged by her words and slammed the table.

Meng Shuyao was not afraid at all, "You are no longer the Princess of Yu, don't use your princess airs to intimidate me."

"Don't forget that you are asking me for something. If you make me angry, I will just quit. I'll see how you guys end it then."

Guo Yue gritted her teeth in anger, but had to hold it in.

"I'm not testing you. I just want to make sure that you won't restore your sisterly relationship with Meng Yunshang and turn against us in the future."

"Don't worry about this. Meng Yunshang and I are now either she or me."

She said it casually, but Guo Yue remained silent for a long time.

Until the old woman sent Meng Shuyao out, when she returned she saw her still sitting at the table in a daze.

"Princess, if what Meng Shuyao said is true, then now is indeed our best chance. As long as Meng Yunshang never wakes up again, the Heng Palace will be in chaos. At that time, the princess and the concubine will be able to..."

"We can't trust everything Meng Shuyao says. So, take my token and find someone. Make sure you find out what happened at the palace banquet last night."

The old woman nodded and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will find out everything before I come back."

As for Meng Shuyao, she just returned to her yard and found a letter on the table.

She quickly waved Yue'e away.

After opening the envelope and reading its contents, she fell onto the bed in panic.

how so!

……

In Prince Heng's mansion, Xuan San was reporting Meng Shuyao's every move to Lu Chenxiao.

"It seems to me that Meng Shuyao is very familiar with the people from the Lu Mansion. It doesn't seem like this is the first time they've met."

"Keep staring at Meng Shuyao, don't miss a single detail."

"Yes!"

Lu Chenxiao sat on the bed, pulled Meng Yunshang into his arms and hugged her tightly before asking in a low voice, "What do you think of this?"

"How else can I look at it? Guo Yue and Meng Shuyao have a common enemy, so it's normal for them to get involved. But what I don't understand is, what can Guo Yue get from Meng Shuyao?"

"What if Meng Shuyao is just a cover?"

"You mean someone is deliberately using Meng Shuyao to attract our attention and then sneak into Chencang?"

Lu Chenxiao nodded, "My brother and Lu Kang interrogated people overnight last night and got some useful information."

"Ok?"

"Lu Yuanjing and his mother did not leave the capital. They are waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback."

"Come back?"

"At the palace banquet last night, my brother was not their target. Their main purpose was to use Lu Youlin to contain you and me."

"So you and the emperor staged a drama of brothers turning against each other, letting the world know that you broke up with the emperor because of me. Then, Lu Yuanjing and his mother, who were secretly watching, would think that their chance had come?"

What a good trick to lure the snake out of its hole.

Lu Chenxiao nodded, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
