Chapter 240 Ancient times – Whoring Holy Monk (12)

A month passed like this, and early autumn just arrived, and Ye Xuan suddenly got the news that the Queen Mother was coming back from Yuntai Mountain.

Because the Queen Mother believed deeply in Buddhism, she spent most of the year worshiping Buddha in Yuntai Mountain after the death of the late emperor, and did not return until the New Year.Because of this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but mutter in the palace: “How could the Queen Mother return to the palace if it’s not the year or the festival?”

Gao Gongming smiled and said, “The Queen Mother may miss the official family. I have sent people to Danhuang Palace to clean up. I wonder if the official family has anything else to give.”

“Of course I can rest assured when you do things.” Ye Xuan didn’t care about these little things. Thinking of Huai Yan, she hurriedly said, “Don’t let the Queen Mother know about Huai Yan. You should know what to do.”

Gao Gongming responded respectfully and went to restrain the palace without mentioning it.Ye Xuan walked up and down the hall alone, feeling uneasy in her heart.Knowing that the Queen Mother was going back to the palace, she hurriedly sent Huaiyan back to Jielanzhai, not daring to be as wanton as before.

It should be noted that the Queen Mother was very disciplined and very strict. Although she was the emperor’s biological mother, when she was young, she was only thinking about giving birth to a legitimate son to inherit the throne, and she was not interested in her only daughter.Unexpectedly, the late emperor actually named Ye Xuan the crown princess in the end. At this time, the rift between mother and daughter had already arisen. Even if the queen mother tried to make up for it, it was useless, so she simply restrained the emperor with harsh words.

Ye Xuan was also unruly by nature, and the mother and daughter often talked little to each other. However, due to her filial piety, she had to be respectful in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother stayed in Yuntai Mountain all year round, which may not be the reason for the disagreement between the Emperor and the Queen.

Ye Xuan knew that it was unjustifiable for her to rob Huayan into the palace. Once the Queen Mother knew about it, trouble would definitely arise.After restraining everyone in the harem, she originally thought that the matter could be concealed. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother’s Luan Jia had just arrived and before he could sit down in the Danhuang Palace, he called her over. The first sentence he said was: “I don’t think I can keep that Huai Yan. Let’s kill it with a glass of poisonous wine early.”

Ye Xuan was shocked: “Why did the Queen Mother say this?!”

The Queen Mother was calm on her face, but now she showed a stern look: “The officials still want to ask me why I said this? As the king of a country, you don’t care about the government, but you still force a monk to enter the palace. Such a disregard for human ethics. Once word gets out, do you want the court’s face? Do you want the royal family’s face?”

Ye Xuan just realized that it was no wonder that the Queen Mother suddenly returned to the palace, obviously targeting Huaiyan.It’s just that this matter was kept secret, and no one in the court knew about it except Chen An.Although everyone in the harem knew that she favored Huai Yan very much, apart from a few confidants, she was the only one who knew about Huai Yan’s identity, and she was the only one who had ever revealed it to Luo Cheng. Could it be that…

At the moment, she was not allowed to think carefully about the key. After the Queen Mother learned that the emperor had done such a ridiculous thing, she had to return to the palace that day.Although she was not close to Ye Xuan, after all, she was her own daughter, so she thought that it was Huai Yan who had shamelessly seduced Ye Xuan. Otherwise, if the emperor had a harem, and what kind of man he didn’t have, why would he need to rob a monk.When she found out that Huai Yan was extremely cold to the emperor and wanted Ye Xuan to go and plead with him in person, she became even more furious and determined to execute the evil monk who was causing harm to the country and teach him not to mess up the palace again.

One wants to be killed and the other wants to be protected. How can one understand it clearly?Ye Xuan naturally refused to follow what the Queen Mother said, and found the Queen Mother baffled.From the beginning to the end, Huai Yan was forced by himself, so how could he be blamed?

But the tighter she protected her, the angrier the Queen Mother became. When she walked away with her sleeves and said she would not let the Queen Mother have any affection for her, the Queen Mother was so angry that she was about to collapse.

“Evil obstacle! Evil obstacle!”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to faint, Luo Cheng, who had been hiding in the inner room, hurriedly came out to support her: “The Queen Mother, please calm down. The official family is young and vigorous. This matter needs to be settled slowly.”

“Good boy,” the Queen Mother sat down with his help, “if you hadn’t written to tell me, I wouldn’t have known that the officials had done such stupid things.”

Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed, and he said warmly: “It is our duty to share the worries of the official family. In fact, Huai Yan is a talented person with good looks, but he is slightly lacking in status. I am also afraid that this matter will spread and damage the official family’s reputation, so I talk too much. I am really scared.”

“There is something missing,” the Queen Mother sneered. “Just mentioning it makes me feel offended. Buddhism is a quiet place, but who would have thought there would be such a notorious person. It’s a pity that the officials are protecting him so tightly that I can’t take action.”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he looked hesitant. When the Queen Mother looked over, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, “I have a plan that may work.”
