Chapter 204 Father, Your Majesty, I Request You to Abdicate 19
At the time of Shen, the sunlight shines just right on the earth, bringing brightness and warmth to the lotus garden.
Jiuli led Meiruo, Meng An and Li Zhiyu to stroll in the lotus garden. Chuyi and Shiwu quietly hid in the dark, always on guard.
Looking up, I saw that the lotus leaves in the pond were so lush and green that they seemed to connect with the sky, an endless expanse of green; the delicate and beautiful lotus flowers looked particularly gorgeous and eye-catching in the sun, just as the saying goes "the lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are exceptionally red in the sun."
There are fish playing in the pond and monks busy picking lotus pods. It is a picture full of vitality and vigor that makes people feel extremely comfortable.
The group walked slowly along the wooden corridor and soon came to a pavilion surrounded by light gauze, which was ventilated on all sides. This was undoubtedly a great place to escape the heat and cool down in the hot summer.
Jiuli was leaning on the railing of the pavilion leisurely, holding a handful of fish food in her hand, preparing to feed the fish in the water. At this moment, a red figure suddenly passed by. Then, with a "plop" sound, the man lost his balance and fell directly into the water.
Jiuli's hands couldn't help but stop moving, and she looked towards the lake, where she saw a red figure rising and falling.
"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Who can save my young master! He has fallen into the water!" The next second, accompanied by a scream, a high-pitched and shrill male voice suddenly sounded, as if to pierce everyone's eardrums.
In an instant, many men appeared in the corridor opposite. They all looked towards the lake and saw a figure in red clothes in the middle of the lake, who stopped struggling and gradually sank to the bottom of the lake, obviously in danger.
After seeing the red figure clearly, the faces of the men instantly became extremely gloomy - it turned out to be the second son of the imperial merchant Mu family!
"Go save them! What are you all standing there for?!"
"Quick! Notify others to come and help immediately!"
"Hey! I remember that you are a good swimmer, why don't you go down and save them!!"
The footsteps came from a distance, gradually approaching, and finally stopped opposite Jiuli, Meng An and others.
"Meng An, save people." Jiuli raised her hand slightly, without even fluttering her eyelids, and continued to feed the fish.
The imperial merchant Mu family is a viable chess piece, especially since the second son is handsome but frail.
After hearing the order, Meng An showed a hint of pride on his face and cast a provocative look at Li Zhiyu.
“Yes.”
Then, a black shadow flashed across the lake like lightning, and it was like a piece of black silk. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the person in the lake, easily grabbed the other person's collar and flew back to the other side with him. The whole action was smooth and natural.
After landing and standing firmly, everyone present was still in a daze and just stared blankly at the maid who was summoned.
This was a good opportunity to build a relationship with the Mu family, but someone else got there first? He quickly put away his emotions and showed concern.
Meng An lowered his eyebrows and stared at the second son of the Mu family who was picked up by him personally, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
This guy looks like this? And he chose to make such a farce today. Is it intentional?
Just as many young masters were rushing over, Meng An threw down his handkerchief to cover the face of the second young master Mu so that no one else could see it.
His Majesty had previously given special instructions that Your Highness likes good-looking people. Meng suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Thank you very much for rescuing me, sir. May I know which family you are from? I will bring my second brother to visit you later to express my gratitude," Mu San, who came in a hurry, looked pale and anxious. He bowed and saluted while expressing his gratitude to his benefactor.
"It's just a trivial matter, why bother about it?" Meng An waved his hand.
After saying that, he flashed and flew up like a swallow, his toes lightly passing through the branches. He did not go back directly but made a detour, and entered quietly after making sure that there was no one.
At this time, a man in a tight-sleeved suit with a short sword on his waist slowly walked over. He held a piece of green grass in his mouth, and his demeanor was calm, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.
When he got closer, he suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared in the direction where Meng An left.
"That's quite a skill! Mu San, do you recognize this person?" The words were teasing but also tentative.
"Young Marquis, I don't know this young master. Thank you for your help today. When my brother wakes up, the Mu family will prepare a generous gift to express our gratitude.
But my brother is still in a coma and the situation is critical, so I will take my leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu San bent down and picked up his second brother who was taller than him, then turned around and left in a hurry. He did not forget to check on the people with strange expressions just now. He would definitely investigate them thoroughly when he returned!
The man called Young Marquis stood there for a long time before he turned around and left. He returned to the side room, casually painted a scroll and handed it to his personal servant. If he was not mistaken, it should be a piece of fabric that was only available in the palace. His eyes were full of brilliance.
"Go back home and hand this to your father personally."
Even if it's not, helping someone in need is better than icing on the cake. The Mu family's money bag is not just theirs.
"Your Highness, this Second Young Master Mu may have accidentally offended someone." Meng An stood respectfully under the pavilion, his hands clasped together, his tone full of seriousness.
Calculation? When the imperial merchant thought of what he saw in Jianzhang Palace before leaving the palace, Jiuli's eyes showed a hint of sharpness.
"Check!" Jiuli spoke casually yet firmly, revealing an irresistible majesty.
"Yes." Meng An accepted the order and retreated quietly.
The wind started to blow. She put her hands behind her back and looked towards the sky. The opportunity she had been waiting for must have come. Her cheap brother must not let her down.
"Back," I'm afraid it will take a long time before I can see this scenery again.
Leave when the people on the opposite side don't notice.
When Mu San carried his second brother into the carriage, his expression changed and his tone was still anxious and irritable.
"Return home immediately and ask the palace doctor to wait for you."
"Yes." The carriage was driven very fast, for fear that his second son would die in the carriage. His body was weaker than that of a girl.
"Second brother? Stop pretending!" Inside the carriage, Mu San pinched Mu Er, who was lying motionless, with both hands, and his face looked very ugly.
It had only been a short while since Mo Gewei had passed the news of the Empress Dowager to the palace. In the Jianzhang Palace, rice paper was scattered all over the floor, showing Emperor Cheng'an's fury. But he calmed down in just a quarter of an hour and sat on the couch.
"Check," the tone was casual and filled with blood.
A figure left silently in the dark.
"Su Qin, pass on the name of Prime Minister Li Xian, Minister of Revenue He Xiu, Minister of War Han Xuan," Emperor Cheng'an read out a series of names, and said in a cold voice, "Let's discuss matters in the Winter Warm Pavilion."
"Yes." Su Qin was secretly shocked. What is your Majesty doing?
Without any pause, he went out and ordered the eunuchs to ride away on horseback to the generals' residences to announce his orders.
After receiving the imperial edict, they all stood up, mounted their horses, and rode as fast as they could towards the palace, but none of them could find anything.
