Chapter 188 Scapegoat
Lan Shu took a fan and fanned in front of Liang Moyuan. The other maidservants did not dare to breathe heavily, just waiting for the smell to dissipate quickly.
Liang Shanyu returned to the second house with a full heart of resentment, and no one knew where Huo Siyuan had gone.
She sat down in the room and took a gulp of tea.
What a great Liang Moyuan, and Huo Jin will meet you too.
Why didn't he treat himself like this in his previous life?
Liang Shanyu's eyes became more and more resentful.
In that case, don't blame her for being cruel...
In the evening, when Huo Siyuan came back, Liang Shanyu took the initiative to invite Yu over.
Huo Siyuan and Yu looked at Liang Shanyu eagerly serving them tea and water, and couldn't help wondering what she was trying to do.
"Liang Shanyu, if you have something to say, just say it." Yu took the teacup, but did not drink it immediately. She always felt that Liang Shanyu's behavior was strange.
Liang Shanyu put on a smile and motioned the people around her to go down.
"Husband, do you still remember what I said to you before?" Liang Shanyu sat opposite the mother and son.
Huo Siyuan nodded.
Taking advantage of the refugees, he remembered.
Huo Siyuan had never mentioned this matter to Yu. When he heard Liang Shanyu mention it, he gave Yu a brief explanation.
Unexpectedly, Yu showed a satisfied expression: "It's rare that you think the same as me."
However, their intentions may be different.
Yu's eyes darkened as she looked at Liang Shanyu and asked, "What are your plans for this?"
The three of them gathered in a room, like the prelude to a hyena hunt.
"If the refugees riot, Your Majesty will not let them off so easily."
"If anyone important were to be injured during the riot, Huo Jinjian might not even have a chance of a career in government anymore, let alone a position."
"What do you and your mother think?"
When he heard that he was going to lead a riot, Huo Siyuan hesitated.
This is not an easy thing to do. Isn't it not worth it to sit at this point for such an official position?
But before Huo Siyuan could speak, Yu said three good words in a row.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Liang Shanyu was no longer just disgust and contempt, but rather a bit of admiration.
"Yes, you finally have some brains. I'll leave this matter to you. Just let me know if you need money."
Huo Siyuan never expected that Yu would be so straightforward about this matter.
Liang Shanyu's eyes flashed with excitement.
Huo Siyuan, who was about to say something, was stopped by Yu's look.
He changed the subject and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll get some ginseng to nourish you later."
Liang Shanyu smiled immediately when she saw that her treatment had changed.
"But the most important thing now is to prepare for the palace banquet. We can't be outdone by the eldest wife!" Yu raised her eyebrows at Huo Siyuan.
Huo Siyuan understood and followed Yu.
Arriving at Yu's house, Huo Siyuan couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, what are you doing—"
Yu's index finger tapped lightly on the table, her rhythm steady. "Leave this to Liang Shanyu. If the truth comes out, you can directly expose her as the mastermind."
He looked like a cunning fox.
Then, she looked at Huo Siyuan and asked in a low voice, "And do you know that the prince is inhumane now?"
Yu also knew about this?
Huo Siyuan looked at Yu in disbelief: "Mom, how did you know?"
Huo Siyuan knew the truth because he had been hanging out with the prince recently and Liang Shanyu had mentioned this matter.
Just hearing these words from Yu's mouth, he couldn't help but find it unbelievable.
Apart from accompanying Marquis Huo all day, Yu was rarely seen going out. Besides, the prince's secrets were not gossip that could be found out at will.
Looking at Huo Siyuan's frightened and confused eyes, Yu was really speechless.
"Of course I have my own way of getting the news. I also know that the Crown Prince wants to develop his own strength. After all, for a crown prince who has lost his fertility, the only people he can rely on are those who support him."
"If these people are people with a say in the court, the Crown Prince will naturally value them more. Now that you have a good relationship with the Crown Prince, this position in the Refugee Management Department is your best opportunity to prove your loyalty."
Huo Siyuan was surprised that Yu was so insightful in this regard.
He nodded, agreeing with Yu's idea.
The emperor obviously favors Huo Jinjian, and no matter how he performs, he can't win his heart.
The prince will be the new monarch sooner or later, so it is better to become his confidant and right-hand man as soon as possible.
After weighing the pros and cons, Huo Siyuan finally made up his mind.
"By the way, before the palace banquet, you still have to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Maybe you can find out something." Yu reminded Huo Siyuan.
After all, Huo Hou also said that the emperor wanted to personally listen to their debate on how to govern the refugees.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince should know which answer Your Majesty would prefer to hear based on his personality."
Huo Siyuan felt that what Yu said made sense, so he went to the Prince's Mansion again that night.
After learning the news, Wei San informed Huo Jinjian that Huo Siyuan had gone out.
When Liang Moyuan, who was sewing clothes, heard Wei San say that Huo Siyuan had gone to the Prince's Mansion again, she curled the corners of her mouth.
Instead of always doing opportunistic things, it would be better to calm down and read more classics, so that he would not use such methods when discussing the management of refugees with Marquis Huo.
The fact that the prince could trust such a person was a disaster in his fate.
Liang Moyuan continued with her needlework.
"Let him go." Huo Jin waved his hand, letting Wei San go down first, and then he moved to Liang Moyuan's side.
"What are you doing?"
Looking at the wrapped herbal sachets on the table, Huo Jin picked up one and smelled it.
"This is the anti-poison medicine bag made by my doctor Ye."
