Chapter 752 Ancient Robbery 35
Yuanbao turned his head somewhat awkwardly, but after being with Gu Zhige for so many years, he had become accustomed to his wife's occasional unusual behavior.
"In my opinion, since you have a life saved, you should cherish it and don't think about revenge. I'm telling you, even if the late emperor were to come back to life, you wouldn't be able to do it."
Emperor Ming's regime was extremely stable, and all the soldiers and generals in the court were trained by him. As the saying goes, the truth is only within the range of cannons.
Although there were no cannons in ancient times, with the military power in the hands of the Fu family father and son, no one could do anything to them.
"Of course we can't do it easily! But ma'am, you can!" Jin Bao said excitedly.
Meng Liu: "..."
"Doesn't the traitor want Madam to be his Crown Princess? When Madam assassinates him from the inside, our people will be placed inside the palace to fully cooperate with Madam!"
In the end, let her go first, while the others hide outside and make plans secretly.
If she were caught, she would be the first to die, and these few people might even run away secretly when they see that the timing is not right.
What a loyal servant.
"You guys go if you want to. I don't have the ability."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened and several strange men walked in, saying in a rough voice, "Why waste your time talking to her!"
"Women are short-sighted. Who knows, she might have already taken the thief as her husband!"
Meng Liu laughed in anger, crossed his arms and asked, "Then tell me, what should we do if we lose?"
"We lost, but at least we tried our best and it's not in vain that the late emperor showed us such kindness!"
"What if it succeeds?"
"If it succeeds, I will naturally overthrow the traitor father and son and return to the court."
Meng Liu raised his eyebrows: "What happens after returning to the imperial court? Who will be the emperor?"
"Of course it's me!"
"I!"
"I!"
Several people started arguing on the spot.
They haven't even distributed the benefits after the success, but they are already dreaming of fighting for the throne. If this group of rabble can really succeed, her word "Meng" will be written backwards.
They said they were doing it for the late emperor. The late emperor and his descendants all died. Even if they won, the dead could not be resurrected. So it was clear whether they were doing it for their master or for their own selfish desires.
"Stop arguing! We are all brothers. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, right?"
"Yeah, so let me do it."
"You can't do that. You can't even read. How can you want to be an emperor? I'm different. I even attended a private school for two years before I sold myself into slavery."
"The kingdom must be conquered with fists. You are just a scholar. Even if you become the emperor, you can't control the court!"
Meng Liu sat aside, drinking tea leisurely and listening to their argument.
After arguing for nearly two hours, the group finally stopped.
"So, Madam, are you willing to lend us a helping hand?"
Meng Liu chuckled: "Sure, but after this is done, I want to be the emperor."
Several men immediately widened their eyes and said, "Why would a woman like you be an emperor?!"
"Women should stay in the backyard and raise children, yet you dare to dream of that position!"
"I really don't know what to say."
Meng Liu stood up and glanced at the greedy faces: "You can be the emperor, but I can't? Don't forget, I am the most important part of the plan. If I don't agree, you can't even get close to Emperor Ming and his son."
After she said that, several people were stuck, looked at each other, and openly discussed in a low voice in front of Meng Liu without letting her hear. But the way he looked at her from time to time, it was obvious that he was teasing her behind her back.
In the end, I couldn't persuade her and agreed immediately: "Deal!"

After Meng Liu returned to her room, Fu Wenting looked at her back with a helpless look on his face. He stood there for a long time before turning around and going back to his room.
He really didn't know what to do with her.
Of course, he could force her to marry him as his father had planned, but then he would end up with an unwilling Meng Liu, which was not what he wanted.
But if we follow the previous plan, we will just boil the frog in warm water and take our time.
She also felt that Meng Liu was really cruel, so she resented the fact that she had killed Gu Zhige.
And it is very likely that I will never forgive him in this life.
No matter what he chooses, it seems that it is not what he wants most.
Why did the two of them come to this point?
Fu Wenting lay dejectedly on the couch, covering his eyes with his arms, thinking to himself with a look of dejection and grievance.
"Prince!" The deputy walked in, looking anxious, "The guards at Prince Duan's mansion were knocked unconscious, and Miss Meng... is missing!"
Fu Wenting stood up immediately, and his previous fragility instantly turned into fierceness: "What's going on!"
He asked as he hurried towards Meng Liu's boudoir.
The person had disappeared, there were no signs of a fight in the house, and there were two footprints, one shallow and one deep, by the window.
There was no need to explain the shallow and small footprint; Fu Wenting could tell it at a glance, because all of Meng Liu's clothes, shoes and socks were made by him personally and he knew her shoe size very well.
As for the deep one, it must weigh at least 120 pounds and is the size of an adult man's foot.
This proves that the other party was not coercing her.
But Meng Liu went with him voluntarily.
Fu Wenting was struck by lightning. He couldn't believe that Meng Liu would make such a choice. Even if she wanted to follow a man whose background she didn't know, she was unwilling to be his crown princess!
He killed Gu Zhige with his own hands, so who could this man be?
He clutched the collar of his shirt tightly, his heart aching as if it were being stabbed by a knife. There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
"Pass on this king's order to seal off the capital city. Not even a mosquito can be let out!"
"Zhang San, take your men and chase them out from several gates of the capital. Stop all the caravans and civilians leaving the city today."
"Li Si, take your men to capture everyone in the Meng residence and bring them to the palace."
"The remaining people, divide into four teams, starting from the palace, and search along the houses in the southeast, northwest, and northeast directions!"
Fu Wenting's men hurriedly took orders and retreated.
He also rode a horse and took people to search house by house.
When Emperor Ming in the palace learned that Meng Liu was missing, he became furious. He had just issued an imperial decree, and then the person disappeared. Where could he put his face?
"Bring the Imperial Guards and search the entire city!"
*
Meng Liu was leisurely eating melon seeds and listening to a few people planning how to carry out the plan. She just listened for fun.
With their IQ, there is no need to worry at all.
Calculating the time, it has probably been almost two hours since she disappeared, and Fu Wenting should have come looking for her by now.
These idiots never imagined how big a stir her disappearance would cause.
The emperor had just granted the marriage, but she was kidnapped right after. No matter what, for the sake of the royal family's reputation, the father and son had to send someone to look for her. Besides, it was already dark now, and if she was left outside overnight, where would the prince's face be?
Moreover, after discussing for a long time, they could only come up with the result of asking her to assassinate Fu Wenting.
As for how she could return properly now that she was missing, and how she could avoid the emperor and his son's suspicion, no one mentioned it.
