Chapter 208: It turns out that in this dynasty, there are also people fighting for positions
"Changyou, those people misunderstood you. They always thought I often summoned you to the palace, and they always thought you got so many benefits. But in fact, everything you have had over the years is what you deserve. And..."
The emperor paused before adding, "For Funing's matter, I owe you an apology. If it weren't for me... Funing wouldn't have married such a man in such a hurry."
Old Marquis Zhao was stunned at first. He blamed the emperor for this matter, but he blamed himself even more. He did not strongly defend Meng'er at the time, nor did he carefully examine the character of Sun Tu's family.
"I have never blamed Your Majesty in my heart. In fact, if I had insisted, Your Majesty would definitely not have made things too difficult for me. It's just that I said I loved Meng'er the most, but when it came to making a choice, I gave up on her the first time.
But I won't be upset because of this. After all, we have to live our own lives and rely on ourselves. Maybe Meng'er needs to go through this disaster in her life!
Your Majesty, don't think too much."
Old Marquis Zhao is not really senile. If the emperor is being modest, he will just go along with the words and say that he is afraid that none of his nine clans want him anymore.
As expected, Lord Zhao understood the emperor. When he said this, the emperor immediately nodded in agreement, "As long as you don't blame me!"
The emperor felt that he was really as the old Marquis Zhao said. Even if Changyou had not done that at that time, nothing would have happened to him. He completely forgot about his vigilant look at that time.
"Don't blame me, don't blame me!" Old Marquis Zhao said very cheerfully. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
Zhao Lingmeng woke up when the sun shone through the window. The first thing she did when she woke up was to look at the sun outside. She estimated that it must have been 9:00 in her previous life.
"Qiuyue..."
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng called out, Qiuyue came in immediately. She bowed her head and said, "Your Highness, you are awake!"
"Well, wait for me to get up!"
Qiuyue immediately went out and called the servants in, and she personally helped Zhao Lingmeng put on her clothes.
Zhao Ling dreamed that he had someone tell Master Fan today that he was going to the farm to sort out some weapons issues, so he instructed: "I'm going out later, so wear something smart so you can easily carry a crossbow."
"Yes!" Qiuyue responded promptly. She was Zhao Lingmeng's maid, and she had traveled with Zhao Lingmeng before. She knew the magnitude of what His Highness had accomplished. Although there were many things His Highness hadn't told her, she had her own guesses, but none of them mattered.
For people of their status, working for the emperor is a great honor, so Qiuyue always does whatever the prince says and she doesn't ask questions without permission.
She knew that His Highness hadn't told her because it was definitely for her own good. She had also grown up in the Marquis's Mansion, and the truth that the more you know, the shorter your life is was ingrained in her since childhood.
"Your Highness, where will you have breakfast?" Qiuyue asked about the arrangements for the future while helping Zhao Lingmeng get dressed.
The weather was great today, and Qiuyue thought His Highness might want to use the outside courtyard, where some young masters had planted flowers for His Highness. His Highness would definitely be happy to have breakfast there.
Sure enough, Zhao Lingmeng looked at the sun outside and said, "Let's put it in the yard! The weather is nice today, it should be beautiful outside."
When the people waiting nearby heard Zhao Lingmeng's instructions, they immediately went out to make arrangements.
Qiuyue and others quickly packed up Zhao Lingmeng, and then Zhao Lingmeng went straight to the yard. Mainly because she was really hungry at this time.
"Gobbling away everything in its path yet remaining elegant" is a very appropriate way to describe Zhao Lingmeng's meal. She quickly finished her breakfast and then instructed Qiuyue:
"I'm going out with Chunshui, Chunmu, and Dongyuan. You stay behind to look after the house! We probably won't be back for lunch at noon. Please help me keep an eye on the three young masters."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand!"
Zhao Lingmeng still believed in Qiuyue's ability, so he left with his men at ease.
By the time Zhao Lingmeng and her group slowly arrived at the next courtyard, it was almost noon. As soon as she entered, several pairs of eyes turned to look at her. Zhao Lingmeng took a closer look, and among them were Lord Jin and General Liu, with whom she had worked before.
When everyone saw Zhao Lingmeng also looking at them, they came to their senses and immediately bowed: "Your Highness greets Princess Funing! May your Highness be well."
"Get up quickly! What are you doing..." Zhao Lingmeng said while looking at Lord Fan Yongfan next to him in confusion, meaning, didn't I ask you to ask anything you want to ask, why did you bring so many people here for me?
Fan Yong also touched his nose a little awkwardly and added, "The questions these adults ask are quite professional and important. I'm worried that there might be some errors in the communication. And they want to ask in person, so..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have all been approved by the Emperor and have signed a life and death agreement. We dare not disclose your information."
General Liu had been to the battlefield and knew at a glance what Princess Funing was worried about. She was probably afraid that once her identity was exposed, it would cause a series of troubles and disrupt her peaceful life.
Now that everyone is here, Zhao Lingmeng can't just kick them out. If they want to ask, just ask! "Okay then! Let's put the table in the yard! The weather is nice today, it's more comfortable to sunbathe outside."
When Zhao Lingmeng said this, everyone immediately agreed. Not to mention putting it in the yard, even if Zhao Lingmeng wanted to put it in the sky, they would find a way to satisfy him! This person is now considered a leader of the Jing Kingdom, a living ancestor.
Lord Fan's men were very efficient and had everything set up in the yard in no time. The entire manor and the area within several miles around it were on alert, but overall the situation was still loose on the outside but tight on the inside.
Zhao Lingmeng randomly picked a seat that suited her. "Everyone, please take a seat! Who will go first?"
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng said this, the adults who had been quite reserved just now went crazy and quickly rushed to occupy seats around Zhao Lingmeng.
Not to mention Zhao Lingmeng, even Fan Yong next to him was stunned and immediately blocked Zhao Lingmeng with his body. Chunshui and the other three also looked at these people warily to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
However, this did not happen in the end. The person sitting closest to Zhao Lingmeng was General Liu, who was not engaged in research and was also an old acquaintance.
Zhao Lingmeng could only sigh inwardly, worthy of being a battlefield veteran. Seizing such an opportunity was truly remarkable.
Zhao Lingmeng sighed, but she still asked, "General Liu, what do you want to ask?"
