Princess Cheng held Meng Zhi's hand and said, "Oh, my dear sister, you are really clever and clever. You can actually come up with such an idea."
"Does the princess think it's good too?"
"Of course. The Emperor is old, and he likes to dwell on the past. If we arrange it this way, and then have the Empress praise the Emperor's bravery and wit, and use this opportunity to point out that the Gao family lost so many male descendants when the Emperor ascended the throne... the Emperor will definitely be soft-hearted."
Seeing Princess Cheng excitedly going to the outer courtyard to discuss things with Prince Cheng, Meng Zhi suppressed the emotion in her eyes and stepped forward and said, "There's one more thing. I wonder if it's feasible?"
Princess Cheng said happily as the nanny dressed her, "Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, tell the prince about it and let him have his say."
"If I could invite the Emperor to take a nap or rest in the prince's study, I would be the only one among the princes to do so."
"take a break?"
"Yes, think about it, the emperor went to Prince Jing's mansion a few days ago, and I heard that he returned to the palace after lunch."
Princess Cheng's face lit up with joy. "That's right. If the emperor can stay for a rest, I'm afraid the prince will also..." After saying that, she patted Meng Zhi's hand and said, "Come with me to see the prince and tell him about this idea."
Meng Zhi smiled and said, "I don't know what the princess is talking about. Weren't those ideas just now the princess's idea?"
Princess Cheng was stunned at first, then smiled and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist. "My dear sister, if this matter is handled properly, I will take the initiative to ask for you to be appointed as a concubine."
Meng Zhi bowed gratefully and followed Princess Cheng out of the courtyard.
Watching Princess Cheng get on the sedan chair and head towards the outer courtyard, Meng Zhi waved his hand, and a plain-looking eunuch came up with his back bent.
------
Meng Qi watched Mama Liu come into the room and asked, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
Mother Liu nodded and said, "I made it in the small kitchen tonight, and the second young master ate it all."
Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. A few days ago, Song Bairan accidentally fell while playing with Song Nongyu, and only scratched the skin on his palm.
Meng Qi quickly invited the imperial physician to come and check the patient's entire body. After finding no other injuries, he prescribed some calming decoctions.
Originally thinking it was just an accident, Song Chengze didn't take it seriously after seeing it. He just thought that boys are bound to fall and get bumped sometimes.
Unexpectedly, Song Bairan, whether frightened or for some other reason, had been sweating profusely lately. It was better during the day, but especially at night, his sweating was even worse than Song Chengze's, who practiced sword fighting in the school martial arts arena every day.
Not only did he sweat a lot, but Song Bairan also looked listless. The chubby boy had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Meng Qi felt so distressed when she saw this.
However, they invited doctors one after another, and the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau even came several times with a pediatric physician, but nothing could be found.
Zhao was worried that Song Bairan was possessed by something unclean, so she asked to go to the temple to burn incense. Meng Qi agreed and sent Liu Ma to accompany her. She also asked Wang Chenghai to arrange for someone to go to Gong's grave.
Fortunately, after all this ordeal, although Song Bairan still sweats a lot, he is much better than at the beginning and feels much more energetic.
In the evening, after Song Chengze entered Jing'an Garden, Meng Qi told him her thoughts.
"You want to move Ran Ge to the outer courtyard?" Song Chengze was surprised. "Is it because he's sick this time? Don't overthink it. No one will think anything of you."
Meng Qi shook her head. "It's not that I'm afraid of what everyone thinks of me. I don't need anyone to think about how I treat these children. Only Mother and the Prince know. Just trust me."
Meng Qi poured tea and handed it to Song Chengze. "I have two reasons for thinking this. First, there have been a lot of things going on lately, and sometimes you need to meet other people in the courtyard. After all, the Second Young Master is young and curious about everything. Second, his illness is really not right. I am afraid that he has really offended something. It would be better to move to the outer courtyard. Maybe a change of environment will be better."
Song Chengze took the tea and took a sip. He understood Meng Qi's meaning. These past few days had become a critical period for closing the gap on Old Five, especially since all the actions against Old Five were planned without the Crown Prince's full approval and cooperation.
This means that this matter must be successful in one go. If a mess is left behind, it will be very difficult to clean up later.
Meng Qi had also told him clearly that although the inner house seemed very quiet now, as if all the traitors had been driven out, she was still worried. Even elderly people like Li Mancang and Matron Hai were being exploited by others, so who knew if there were any more people hiding in the corner.
If the news leaked out just because I met some people in Jing'an Garden recently, it would really not be worth it.
As for the second reason, Song Chengze also thought it was reasonable. Children are more willing to provoke things.
"Okay, you decide. If it's hard to clean up the yard, you can let Ran and Mo live together first."
Meng Qi knew that Song Chengze would not object, so she smiled and said, "In that case, let Mama Liu go to the outer courtyard to clean up tomorrow."
Song Chengze didn't continue the topic. He walked to the window and looked at Yuanyue and Xiaoman standing in the corridor. There was no one else in the yard. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Meng Hai's men are about to arrive in the capital."
Meng Qi was stunned at first, then took two steps forward excitedly, "Oh? He's back after all."
Song Chengze hummed, "His former deputy general has already entered the horse farm outside the west gate."
Meng Qi was stunned when she heard this. Thinking of the horse farm, she couldn't help but say angrily, "These two short-sighted people will make the prince bear the consequences later."
Song Chengze waved his hand and turned around. "Don't worry about this matter. It will be no problem to find an excuse after the matter is over. It will not involve too many people."
