    Chapter Index

    When the Queen Mother went to Chenghuan Hall, the Queen Mother was looking at the account book.

    Fugui gave a brief announcement outside, and she walked straight in.

    Of course the Queen knew that on weekdays only the concubines went to see the Queen Mother.If old man She came to visit in person, there would probably be no other reason other than calling an army to investigate.

    Therefore, when the queen heard that it was the Queen Mother, she was inevitably uneasy. She quickly put down her account book and stayed in bed to greet her in person.

    When the Queen Mother walked in, her face was as usual, but she didn’t look like she wanted to raise an army to hold him accountable.

    The queen poured her a cup of tea herself.

    The Queen Mother sat sideways on the couch, took it over as if nothing had happened, lowered her head, took a sip, and asked, “What has the Queen been busy with recently?”

    “Back to the Queen Mother, I am currently sorting out the summer accounts in the harem.” She said and presented the account book in her hand to the Queen Mother.

    The Queen Mother gently waved it away and said with a smile: “The Queen will take care of the affairs of the harem, so the Ai family can rest assured.”

    As she spoke, her eyes glanced around unintentionally, “What has Shu’er been busy with recently? The Ai family hasn’t seen her for several days.”

    The queen smiled and said: “She dislikes the hot weather, so she hides in the palace to enjoy the coolness every day. This girl is true. No matter how hot it is, you can’t forget the etiquette. How can you not fulfill your filial piety to the Queen Mother?”

    As she spoke, she waved to the nanny on the side, “Go and call Shu’er. Her royal grandmother has arrived in person, so why doesn’t she come out to pay her respects?”

    The Queen Mother stopped her and said: “No problem. If she is afraid of the heat, just let her stay in the room. The Ai family is not here to see her.”

    After finishing speaking, with the hot tea in her hand, the Queen Mother put it aside and looked at the Queen, “The Ai family remembers that Shu’er was not in good health when she was young and was very afraid of the cold. Even in the hot summer, her hands and feet were often cold. Why, she was sent to Jiangnan for recuperation, but she was still afraid of the heat.”

    The queen answered with a no different look on her face, “The queen mother doesn’t know that Shu’er has indeed taken good care of her body. Otherwise, her frail body would have been tortured during the journey from Jiangnan to Shengjing.”

    The Queen Mother nodded and chuckled, “That’s right, the Ai family only remembers that Shu’er was only two years old when she was sent to your mother’s house in Jiangnan. She doesn’t remember clearly what the Ai family is like. Over the years, everything from the body to the appearance has changed a lot.”

    “Girls always change when they grow up.” The queen replied with a smile, her eyes showing the joy and love of a mother.

    “Well,” the Queen Mother said nothing more, and raised her lips and said, “Has the Queen shown concern about the Prince’s recent studies?”

    The Queen was startled. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother changed her conversation and asked about the Prince again. She only said: “I have heard from the Emperor that the Taifu praised you greatly.”

    “That’s good,” the Queen Mother still sipped the tea without any expression, her expression even more blurred in the mist.

    After a moment, she looked at the queen and lowered her voice in a warning manner: “The prince is the crown prince of the country, and the world will one day be handed over to him.”

    The queen was stunned for a long time when she heard the words, then nodded in understanding, and responded in a low voice, “Yes.”

    The Queen Mother looked at her silently, and then said: “When Jing Che works for the Emperor, he works for the common people in the world, and he also works for the Prince.”

    The Queen was startled and shocked, and quickly knelt down, “The Queen Mother’s words are really embarrassing for the concubine and the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is the pillar of the country, and the Crown Prince should follow his example…”

    “Queen, what are you doing? This is what the Ai family means,” the Queen Mother pretended to be surprised, stepped forward to help her up and said, “Although he and his cousins are eight years apart, they have lived together since childhood. From now on, even if they serve as emperor and minister, Jing Che will definitely support him as if he is working for the emperor.”

    The Queen Mother held her hand and felt the obvious coolness and trembling in her palm.

    She seemed to be really frightened, and she seemed to have no idea about Wei Shu or the previous affairs.

    The Queen Mother did have doubts for a moment before. After all, Wei Shu had not been raised in the palace since she was a child, and she was frail since she was a child. If she was transferred by a bad person midway, the one placed in the palace now would be the most useful chess piece and the least likely to be suspected.

    After all, as a legitimate princess, her mother is the queen, and her brother is the prince, no one will take the risk and collude with those rebellious officials and traitors.

    The Queen Mother is not afraid of investigating Wei Shu. What she is afraid of is that if the Queen and the Prince are involved in this investigation, there will inevitably be another huge earthquake in the court.

    What she said just now not only tested the queen’s attitude, but also gave a gentle warning, breaking the queen’s intention to be attached to the previous court.

    After all, in this world, sooner or later, the prince will belong to him.Taking too many actions will outweigh the gains and losses. She should know the stakes involved, so there is really no need to get involved with the previous government.

    The Queen Mother finally felt a lot more relaxed.

    The two of them chatted casually about some harem trivial matters, until the Queen Mother set off back to the palace during dinner time.

    The queen respectfully sent her to the gate of Chenghuan Hall and watched the train disappear under the dazzling afterglow of the setting sun.

    The personal nanny came to help her.

    “Crack!!!”

    A slap fell hard on her face.

    The queen looked at her, and the innocence and respect in her eyes disappeared, replaced by coldness and cruelty.

    “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her? Why did the moth end up going to the Queen Mother?!”

    Grandma was stunned and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

    The queen sneered and stepped directly over her.

    “Come here,” She took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid, wiped the blood on her hands, and said slowly: “Drag him to the backyard and kill him with a cane.”

    As soon as she started crying loudly, she was gagged and dragged away.

    “Your Majesty,” an elderly woman came closer and whispered in the Queen’s ear: “From what the Queen Mother means, could it be that she has already suspected Wei Shu?”

    The queen didn’t respond for a long while, the afterglow of the sunset reflected from the pearls on her head, which was strong and dazzling.

    She glanced sideways at the woman and said, “Nanny, what do you think?”

    The nanny silently shut up.

    “The Queen Mother is telling me,” the Queen said solemnly: “She not only doubts Wei Shu, but also tells me to take care of myself and not to gamble with the Crown Prince’s future.”

    “Then what are you going to do?” the wet nurse asked.

    “How to do it?” the queen whispered, “They and I have boarded the same boat a long time ago. We have both prospered and suffered losses. What right do I have to regret it?”

    “Then…are they just going to be dragged into the water like this?”

    The queen was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said: “My mother-in-law in Jiangnan, please don’t leave any clues. The queen mother can’t find out her identity so easily. She will only send people to keep an eye on Wei Shu. Recently, she has been kept in the Chenghuan Palace. She will not go anywhere.”

    She calmed down and then said: “Ever since the case happened in the Song Mansion, I always felt that something was wrong. I have to tell you that Song Zhengxing has to let go of this chess piece if he can.”

    “Also,” the queen paused, with a stern look in her eyes, “after so many years, he should have collected enough of whatever he wants. Just accept it when you feel like it, don’t dig your own grave.”

    *
    The dim moonlight filtered through a gap in the window lattice and fell in front of the bronze mirror in the bedroom.

    Su Moyi took a candlestick from her side and shook it in front of the bronze mirror.

    The man in the mirror has an outstanding appearance, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a handsome nose, and a well-curved jawline.Handsome, but not feminine; heroic, but also a little gentle.

    He looked at himself in the mirror carefully, up and down, then moved his hands to the lace on the waist and abdomen, and pulled it open slightly.

    The plain white nightgown slid down half an inch, just enough to reveal the tight and smooth lines of He’s chest, looming.

    He originally wanted to take care of his long, disheveled hair, but there was light footsteps in his ears.

    Su Moyi had no choice but to blow out the candles in a hurry, rushed to the bed, and took out the ancient books that had been prepared beside her pillow early in the morning.

    When Lin Wanqing came out of the clean room holding her finally wrung hair, she looked up and saw Master Su leaning on the bedside, reading a book with his eyes downcast.

    The warm light of the candlelight reflected on his face, adding a bit of softness to his originally too cold temperament.

    The fingers are long and slender, the joints are distinct, the expression is focused, and the clothes are half open.

    It’s so cold and lusty at the same time, it’s really eye-catching.

    Lin Wanqing only glanced at it and quickly looked away.

    “Sir,” she walked to the lamp, “but are you going to sleep?”

    Su Moyi didn’t look at he and said “hmm” coldly.

    The candle was blown out, and Lin Wanqing came under the moonlight.
