Meng Qi sneered, wondering what Meng Changfeng had offered in exchange this time. Her grandfather, clearly a man who kept his business afloat, had insisted on starting a new business. He'd started a business, but he didn't know how to employ or judge people, placing his bet on Meng Hai. Humph, thinking about Song Chengze's increasingly sophisticated plan against Prince Cheng, Meng Qi could imagine his grandfather's fate.
But she had no solution. In fact, even if she had a solution, considering how deeply Meng Hai was trapped and how much Meng Changfeng had been running around for him, she would not be able to get Meng Changfeng out. All she could do was probably protect the plaque of the Huainan Marquis Mansion.
After Song Chengze finished speaking, he glanced at Meng Qi, then moved his gaze downwards. He wanted to say something but didn't say anything. He just picked up the tea on the kang table and took a sip.
Meng Qi looked at his expression and understood what was going on. After a moment's thought, she said, "I'm thinking of finding a reason to have a miscarriage in a few days. That way, I should be able to attend Concubine Xian's birthday."
Song Chengze paused with the teacup that was about to reach his lips, and looked over with his eyes like black gemstones. The mist rising from the tea made it difficult for Meng Qi to see the emotion in his eyes.
After a long while, Song Chengze finally hummed, "Have you thought of a reason?"
Meng Qi nodded, "There are many reasons." After thinking for a moment, he said, "What stage are we at now? What do you need me to do?"
Song Chengze put down his teacup and smiled slightly, "I can't hide anything from you."
Meng Qi said playfully, "Didn't you say I was your number one military advisor? As a military advisor, observing people's expressions is paramount."
"Oh? You can see that I need your help?"
"That's right. I'm afraid the palace has become less lively these past few months without me. How can there be any opportunity if some things don't stir up trouble? Now there is no such blind Concubine Duan, and Concubine Jing and Concubine Cheng are both known to be good at talking and doing things. Princess Yong'an is a lady from a noble family. How can Fanghua sing a one-man show?"
Song Chengze looked at Meng Qijing's bright eyes smiling at him, and his mood suddenly improved. He nodded, "Yes, the arrangements are almost done now, and I don't want to delay it too long, but the reason is really hard to find."
Looking at Song Chengze's hand tapping the table lightly, Meng Qi nodded. Since the secret passage of King Cheng had already been dug, the sooner it was exposed, the better. If he was allowed to use the secret passage, it would be a waste of time if he succeeded.
After all, King Cheng has invested so much money and has been doing it for such a long time, so he must have already planned something and is just waiting to implement it.
But when I heard Song Chengze talking about this just now, he only mentioned "I" but not "we". Could it be that this was his own idea and not the prince's?
Meng Qi stood up and walked back and forth twice. "It would be great if I could meet Meng Zhi. Unfortunately, nothing special happened at home. I thought she could bring back so much valuable information, so she must have more."
Song Chengze hummed, "You're right. If we want to use this method against the fifth brother, there will be a lot of arrangements to be made in Prince Cheng's mansion. And after the news is passed to the palace, there must be enough reasons to convince the emperor."
Meng Qi stopped, turned around and looked at Song Chengze for a long time.
"What's wrong? Did you think of something?" Song Chengze asked.
Meng Qi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and walked excitedly to Song Chengze, "I have an idea."
Song Chengze looked at her excited expression and was infected by her emotions. He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "What idea? What's it about?"
"How can we let the secret passage of Prince Cheng's Mansion be discovered by the Emperor?"
Song Chengze raised his eyebrows. He had discussed with everyone for several days but couldn't find a good solution. Lu Jinzhou even said that if it really didn't work, they could start directly from Chengtian Palace and create an accident at the location that King Cheng had dug.
While this method was feasible, it was too risky. He simply didn't have the manpower and resources in Chengtian Hall. He didn't know where Lao Wu's exit was, and it was just a guess. He couldn't possibly cause accidents in every small courtyard surrounding Chengtian Hall, could he?
Looking at Song Chengze's hopeful expression, Meng Qi said proudly, "Tell me, if you want to make someone believe something, what is the most effective way?"
Song Chengze thought for a moment and said, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes."
Meng Qi clapped her hands, "That's right, what could make the emperor believe it more than seeing Prince Cheng's secret passage with his own eyes?"
Song Chengze showed an expression of disbelief, "Let father see it with his own eyes? How is that possible?"
"Why not? We can just invite the Emperor to Prince Cheng's Mansion and then lead him to discover it."
Song Chengze also stood up and took two steps. "Meng Zhi is in Prince Cheng's mansion. With her abilities, she should be able to arrange something. But how do we get the Emperor to visit? As far as I know, it seems that my father has never been to our mansion. At least, he hasn't been here once since we opened the mansion."
Meng Qi tilted her head. "So, there are special cases for everything. All we have to do is find a reason to convince the Emperor."
"How do you convince him? Do you have any ideas?"
Meng Qi nodded, "This matter still requires Fanghua to take the lead."
"Fanghua? How is she going to make a name for herself?" Song Chengze asked.
Meng Qi thought for a moment, "This is just my thought, but I still need to discuss the details with Fanghua. So, I need to abort the baby quickly and then go to the palace. The virtuous concubine's birthday is next month, which is a good opportunity."
Song Chengze turned around and sat down, silent. He was thinking about the feasibility of Meng Qi's idea. "How confident are you?"
Meng Qi sat across from him and thought for a moment. "If both sides plan together, I think there's a 70% to 80% chance that it will work. The prerequisite is that the specific content is finalized and the prince arranges some details accurately."
