As the eunuch left, Gong Yunyang immediately regained his gentleness in front of Concubine Hua, and tenderness was revealed in his eyes as he looked at her.
"Are you tired?" Pulling Mo Lian's hand, Gong Yunyang considerately held her and sat her on his lap, his eyes full of distress.
Such intimacy was a kind of torture for Mo Lian, but she understood that such a sacrifice was already very good for her. Mo Lian smiled faintly and shook her head, "I was upset and confused in my heart. I really didn't feel that I had waited for a long time."
"What's wrong?" Gong Yunyang asked gently.
"Your Majesty, I went to Shuyun Palace today." Mo Lian took the opportunity to stand up and distance herself from Gong Yunyang without leaving a trace.
"Oh?" Gong Yunyang pretended not to know, looking at Mo Lian's face with some concern, "The noble concubine didn't do anything extreme to you, did she?"
A soothing smile hung on Mo Lian's face, "Your Majesty, perhaps some things are not very optimistic."
Hearing what Concubine Hua said, Gong Yunyang frowned, "What did you find out?"
Mo Lian nodded and sighed slowly, "The words of the noble concubine pointed directly at the Queen Mother, and most importantly, although she appeared to be crazy on the surface, she was actually very clear-headed. She was crazy and directed everything to the Queen Mother, but she was also secretly drawing on the palm of my hand. It seemed that there were other witnesses, but unfortunately, she was very alert. She withdrew her fingers halfway through writing and pretended to be crazy again."
"Witness?"
"Yes. Your Majesty, what do you think will happen if King Zhan knows about this? Unfortunately, this noble concubine is also very secretive." Mo Lian frowned, looking worried, "Also, I don't understand what this has to do with Princess Yunluo? Why do I feel like I've walked into a place I shouldn't go to or explore? Your Majesty, I'm scared!"
I originally thought that many things would disappear, but I never thought that Concubine Hua would find out. Now, everything became complicated. Listening to Concubine Hua's story and seeing the fright on her face, Gong Yunyang naturally understood what she was afraid of. After hearing such a situation, anyone would either pretend to be ignorant or choose to take credit from the War King, but she chose to ask for help from herself.
A feeling of being needed quickly filled my heart.
Gong Yunyang was relieved by the worry of Concubine Hua at the moment. He knew that she knew the terrible news, so she had no choice but to share the same hatred with him. In this way, he could completely trust her. Anyway, if Concubine Hua was not there, Situ Xunxiao would definitely send more people to test him, which would make him vulnerable. With Concubine Hua leaking the news, Situ Xunxiao would not send more people to prevent too many people from intervening and being discovered. Then everything, whether it was black or white, was under his control.
"Or, there are some things that I hope you can continue to investigate for me." Gong Yunyang said to Concubine Hua with a sincere and solemn face, "My mother was good friends with Concubine Gui, and Prince Zhan's parents were also close relatives of the Queen Mother. Unfortunately, my mother and Prince Zhan's mother died at the same time, and at that time, only the Queen Mother and Concubine Gui were there. The Queen Mother saw everything, and Concubine Gui has since fallen out of favor. However, it's not just me, it's also... "I have always had doubts about the war prince. However, I believe that the queen mother cares about her flesh and blood relatives and will not be crazy, so I have never believed that the queen mother framed the noble concubine for the sake of winning favor. Moreover, at that time, the queen mother had already adopted me as her successor, so she did not need to deal with my mother. However, the matter of the war prince's mother did indeed cause rumors in the palace, pointing the finger at the queen mother, and it was already at that time. "
"The more this is the case, the more complicated it is." The painted concubine murmured, "In the harem, sometimes it seems that these two people are fighting to the death, but little do they know that sometimes, the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind it."
"That's right. Only those who have truly experienced the struggles in the harem will understand the twists and turns involved. So, Prince Zhan and I actually both have doubts, but our ideas are different. Lian'er, do you understand?" Gong Yunyang nodded and let out a long sigh.
Looking at Gong Yunyang, Mo Lian frowned, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Prince Zhan doesn't understand the twists and turns of the harem's fight for favor, so he only suspects that the Queen Mother has wrongly framed the Noble Concubine?"
Seeing the emperor nod, Mo Lian continued to ask, "Then does your Majesty think that whether it is the Queen Mother or the Noble Concubine, they were all schemed against? And whether it is the mother of the War King or the mother of the Emperor, they are all victims of this scheme?"
Gong Yunyang did not speak or express his opinion. He just looked solemn and said nothing. Mo Lian, who was standing by, could not help but worry, "Your Majesty, if this is true, then is this person still causing trouble in the harem? But now..."
"Lian'er." Gong Yunyang interrupted Concubine Hua, "Now, I need you to take this opportunity to find out who is behind this! I will never allow such an ambitious person to be safe and sound for decades."
"Yes." Concubine Hua nodded in agreement, but her face was still worried. After hesitating for a moment, Mo Lian spoke again, "But Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the noble concubine, I am afraid that Prince Zhan also knows that I went there today. How should I deal with it?"
"It is wisest to be united against the outside world. When the truth is false, the false is true." Gong Yunyang did not explain it clearly, but he trusted Concubine Hua and patted her shoulder, "I believe in you."
"Yes!" Mo Lian nodded, bowed and said, "I understand what to do. I will take my leave first."
Just after Concubine Hua left, the secret guard who had been following Mo Lian secretly also appeared in Yu's study.
"Your Highness."
"Wake up. Today, you went to Shuyun Palace with the Empress Painting. Is there anything unusual?"
"Your Majesty, I only saw the Empress Dowager Hua Fei go to visit the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine said a lot of crazy things. Finally, when the Empress Dowager was about to leave, she said some useful crazy words, and kept grabbing the Empress Dowager Hua Fei. After a while, she ran away crazily again. However, the words she said to slander the Empress Dowager were clear."
"After leaving Shuyun Palace, has Concubine Hua met anyone else?" There was a curiosity in Gong Yunyang's eyes. He needed to confirm whether anyone had noticed what Concubine Hua had just said.
The secret guard's next words were sincere and earnest, asking him to completely let down his guard. "In reply to the emperor, the queen was very shocked, but after she calmed down, she headed straight for the emperor's study without hesitation."
"Very good, from now on, there is no need to secretly follow Concubine Hua." Gong Yunyang nodded with satisfaction and withdrew the order to monitor Concubine Hua. At this moment, Concubine Hua also sent a secret signal in Tianfeng Palace.
