Liu Wanyue was surprised: "When did it happen?"
"Half an hour ago."
Mo Rongyan stood up when the mother's words fell, and his cold eyes focused on the mother, with a heavy sense of oppression, "Tell Eunuch Gao that the mother-in-law is going to visit the queen, and let him stay with the father." After I go to court, I will tell my father."
"Yes, Your Highness." Mammy responded respectfully and trotted out.
"Shen Shi, secretly kidnap Miss Su to the side hall of Jiaofang Hall." Mo Rongyan ordered in a deep voice as he watched the grandma leave.
Shen Shi, who was staying in the dark, responded and left quietly.
Liu Wanyue's gentle eyebrows were as cold as water, she stood up and walked out, "The queen suddenly summoned the two sisters into the palace, she definitely has no good intentions."
Speaking of this, she turned her head and asked Mo Ronyan, "Is Mo Xiaoya in Jiaofang Hall?"
Mo Rongyan's brows and eyes were cold, and his tone was as gentle as jade, like mutton-fat white jade soaked in frost and snow, showing the frost and coldness, "Well, I arrived early in the morning."
Half an hour was enough for everything that should have happened to happen.
Usually so clever, I hope I don't fall into a trap this time.
Hearing this, Liu Wanyue's eyebrows became more worried and she walked out quickly.
Mo Ronyan's eyes were as cold and indifferent as ever, making it difficult to see any emotion.
He was dressed in a black robe, exuding a chilling coldness, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, concubine, hold the queen. When father comes down to court, I will come with him to pick you up."
Liu Wanyue hummed without looking back.
Although Jiaofang Hall is not far from Xianqing Hall, it still takes time to get there.
Fortunately, her brother is a general. She has learned martial arts from him since she was a child. She knows a little bit about kung fu and can move faster than ordinary women.
But it would take half a cup of tea to rush there.
Looking back at her son's frosty face, Liu Wanyue was filled with confusion.
My son is cold-hearted at heart, has no weaknesses, and is incredibly self-disciplined.
But now, for the sake of a woman, he showed a hint of anxiety for the first time...
Does this mean that Tang'er is special in his heart?
Then why did he raise a male goblin outside?
At the same time, the inner hall of Jiaofang Hall.
The queen personally fed Su Ruotang the medicine, placed her on the bed in the inner hall, and drove away all the palace people.
Looking at the birthmark on her left cheek, I didn't know what she was thinking.
It wasn't until there were footsteps outside the hall that she slowly stood up and walked to the outer hall.
"Mother." Mo Xiaoya asked a little strangely, "Why did you call me here?"
The queen looked at him steadily and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want that position?"
Mo Xiaoya's expression changed slightly, he subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice, "Mother, why do you ask this suddenly?"
"The army you maintain in Yunzhou costs a lot every month. If you don't have money, how long can you last?"
Mo Xiaoya pondered for a moment and said in a solemn tone, "The property in my hands is only enough to last for half a year."
His maternal ancestor was originally from Yunzhou, and later became the minister of Dali Temple. There were too many people eyeing this position, and they did not dare to take bribes and bend the law over the years.
Therefore, his maternal grandfather's family did not help him much in seizing the throne.
And he was able to successfully maintain his private army in Yunzhou because of the silver Su Muyao gave him every month.
The queen's expression became more serious: "Xiao Ya, today my mother will make a decision for you to help you successfully ascend to that position."
Mo Xiaoya frowned slightly: "Queen Mother, Mu Yao owns a shop and can give me taels of silver every month. Let's endure it for another two years."
The queen glared at him angrily: "The shop in Zhang's hands is the dowry of Su Ruotang's dead mother!"
"She has been using Su Ruotang's mother's dowry all these years. Now that I have agreed to help Su Ruotang get her dowry back, do you think the mother and daughter can still come up with the money?"
When Mo Xiaoya heard this, he was slightly stunned.
It took so long that he forgot that Zhang was just a maid and had no dowry at all.
The queen looked towards the inner hall: "Su Ruotang is inside."
Mo Xiaoya looked shocked: "Queen Mother, what do you want to do?"
The queen's eyes darkened: "If you want to get that position, just listen to your mother."
As she spoke, she came forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
Mo Xiaoya's eyes were full of disbelief: "Mother, you want me and that ugly girl..."
Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the Queen, "What? Do you still feel aggrieved?"
"No, but in that case, it would offend the Liu family and the Tan family."
To be honest, he really couldn't stop talking about Su Ruotang's ugly face.
The Queen snorted coldly: "Second Miss Su fell ill, and I was kind enough to let her rest in my palace, but she was shameless and used her medical skills to confuse the fifth prince who came to pay my respects."
Mo Xiaoya hesitated for a moment: "Queen mother, why not Tan Zhixi?"
The Queen looked at him coldly: "Tan Zhixi has His Majesty's decree and she can choose her own husband. As long as she doesn't want to, no one can force her."
"When the time comes, she would rather Qingdeng Ancient Buddha than marry you. If she offends Tan Mansion, what are you going to fight for?"
"But if I touch Su Ruotang, doesn't that mean I've also offended Tan Mansion?"
The queen glared at him with hatred: "Su Ruotang loves you. As long as you coax her well, she will help you wholeheartedly."
"What about Yao'er? She has helped us a lot over the years."
"Su Muyao can be a concubine, but she must not be a concubine."
Mo Xiaoya opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and slowly walked towards the inner hall.
He could still tell the difference between Su Muyao and that position.
Afterwards, he explained it carefully to Su Muyao. With her considerate nature, she would be able to understand him.
In the inner hall, Su Ruotang was lying quietly on the bed.
Mo Xiaoya walked to the bed and looked down at the girl on the bed.
Her eyebrows are exquisite, her face is covered by a veil, and she has a delicate beauty that is half-hidden while holding a pipa.
Her sparkling peach blossom eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes cast shadows under her eyelids.
When sleeping, pure and charming.
When I woke up, it was bright and beautiful.
Mo Xiaoya's eyes darkened, and the resistance in his heart completely disappeared.
I have to admit that without lifting the veil, Su Ruotang completely inherited her mother's beauty, which was bright and dazzling.
Su Muyao, known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, compared with her, was like a bland little white flower, lacking a bit of flavor.
He slowly opened his belt, his eyes filled with dark emotions.
Mo Ronyan, my father has been partial to you since childhood.
This time, I want you to look at the girl you want to marry and humbly ask me to marry her.
The curvature of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, as if he had seen Su Ruotang kneeling at his feet, begging him to marry her.
Just when he stripped down to his inner clothes and picked up the belt around Su Ruotang's waist with his fingers, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fell down, revealing the cold face behind him that seemed to be soaked in frost and snow.
Mo Rongyan's clear eyebrows contained cold murderous intent.
The clear voice, wrapped in frost, makes people feel heart palpitating.
"Take the medicine and throw it away to the side hall."
"Yes." Shen Shi glanced at Mo Xiaoya with pity, picked up his back collar, and left quietly.
If you don't do it, you won't die. You have to do it.
Having pissed off His Highness, there is something exciting to watch now.
Mo Ronyan looked at the sleeping girl on the couch, his deep eyes devoid of any emotion.
After a while, a sneer escaped from his lips, "I'm usually as clever as a little fox, but I get caught at the critical moment."
"Why are you so stupid!"
Su Ruotang, who was on the bed, seemed to feel the coldness on his body, and her delicate eyebrows frowned uneasily.
Mo Ronyan stepped forward subconsciously, and before he could react, his slender fingertips had already landed on the center of her eyebrows.
Sensing the familiar scent, Su Ruotang moved her little face towards the palm of his hand with nostalgia.
Mo Ronyan's body suddenly froze, and his usually emotionless eyes slightly stirred up, and he looked at the white skin on his hand with a complicated expression.
After a moment, he moved his fingertips slightly and gently smoothed the crease between her eyebrows.
Su Ruotang opened his eyes in a daze, unable to focus and feeling a little groggy.
The pale and bloodless lips moved, but no sound came out.
Mo Ronyan took out his hand, poured a glass of warm water, gently lifted her up into his arms, took off her veil, "Drink some water first."
In the groggy hall, the man's voice was low, clear and moist, filled with tenderness.
Su Ruotang's eyelashes trembled, her mouth opened slightly, and she swallowed the warm water that was brought to her lips.
After feeding half a cup of water gently and patiently, Mo Ronyan watched her chapped lips covered with a layer of water, then put down the cup, gently wiped away the water stains on her lips with his cool fingertips, and helped her lie down.
Su Ruotang's long eyelashes trembled suddenly, and she gradually regained consciousness.
In a daze, I seemed to see a familiar figure.
She slowly reached out her hand.
Just when her fingertips were about to touch the man's sleeve, Mo Ronyan stood up and disappeared from the hall in an instant.
The slightly cool and smooth Yunjin sleeves passed over her warm fingertips and disappeared.
Su Ruotang's delicate white fingertips trembled, and her fingertips were slightly hooked, as if she wanted to retain the familiar cedar fragrance.
"Don't go..."
The weak voice, accompanied by the falling of his fingers, dissipated in the bedroom.
Xiao Rongche, who left Jiaofang Hall and went straight to the Council Hall, suddenly stopped and looked back at Jiaofang Hall.
After a moment of silence, he continued towards the Council Hall.
...
When Liu Wanyue arrived at the front hall of Jiaofang Hall, her expression calmed down.
The queen was not surprised at all, and said with a full smile: "Why is my sister suddenly free to come to my place?"
Liu Wanyue was blessed and got straight to the point: "Sister, I heard that Tang'er and Xi'er came to your palace. Maybe I haven't seen them for a long time, so I come here shamelessly. Sister, you won't mind, right?"
The queen smiled but didn't smile, and motioned to the palace servants to serve her tea, "Look what my sister said, my Jiaofang Palace is usually deserted. I'm not even happy that my sister can come, so why would I mind."
Liu Wanyue smiled: "Sister, why don't you see Tang'er?"
When the queen heard this, the smile on her face disappeared and she sighed softly, "Tang'er suddenly felt unwell, so she took medicine before half a cup of tea and went to sleep."
Liu Wanyue's expression became anxious, she stood up and said, "What's wrong with Tang'er? I'll go see her!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Gui came in with a hurried expression, "My dear, Miss Su Er..."
As soon as the words came out, she seemed to have just seen Liu Wanyue, and she suddenly swallowed the rest of the words.
The queen deliberately angrily rebuked: "You slave, just say whatever you want, why are you so hesitant!"
Aunt Gui hurriedly got up, looked at Liu Wanyue hesitantly, and said: "When the old slave passed by the main hall, there was a strange sound in the hall, as if there was a male voice..."
"What!" The queen looked shocked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure, but it concerns Miss Su Er's reputation, so I don't dare to go in rashly."
Liu Wanyue's eyes flashed with coldness, she looked at the queen and suggested, "Sister, why don't we go over and take a look together?"
Her words hit the Queen's fancy. She stood up holding Nanny Gui's hand and said as she walked: "It must be that Nanny Gui is old and heard wrongly. In my Jiaofang Palace, Xiaoya and His Majesty will come here on weekdays. Why?" There could be other men.”
Liu Wanyue pursed her lips. There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, but she didn't show any trace of it on her face. "No matter what, it's better to take a look."
At this point, I can only hope that Yan'er can save Tang'er in time.
Outside the main hall, several palace servants stood, looking at the main hall and whispering.
When they saw the queen and Liu Wanyue, they all knelt down and saluted, "See you, the queen, the noble concubine."
The queen scolded with a straight face: "What's going on? What are you doing here?"
A palace maid trembled and said in shock: "Go back to your Majesty, I heard a man's voice in the main hall, but only Miss Su Er is sleeping in the main hall..."
After the palace maid finished speaking, Liu Wanyue's face turned pale and she unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
Could it be that Yan'er didn't have time to save Tang'er?
Thinking of this, her face became paler and her teeth clenched her lower lip unconsciously.
The queen looked at her like this, feeling proud in her heart.
She pretended to be worried and said: "Sister, don't worry, let's go in and take a look first."
With that said, she motioned to the palace attendants to open the palace door.
Just as the palace door opened, a eunuch ran over in a panic, "My Majesty, your Majesty, it's not good, something happened in the side palace!"
