Chapter 501 The Man Behind the Scenes



“How could it be…”

Su Xiaoxiao suspected that she had seen it wrong, so she picked up the portrait and looked carefully at the woman in white.

From the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose, from the bridge of the nose to the face shape, every inch was looked at again and again.

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. People with good looks can still be seen with the beautiful contours of their youth even when they are old.

It’s Master Huijue.

To be precise, it is the appearance of Master Huijue when she was in her teens, before she became a nun. She was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with an immortal appearance. It would not be an exaggeration to call her the Fairy of the Clouds.

The three of them sat in the room, and no one spoke for a long time.

Obviously, no one expected that the truth they had found out with so much difficulty would be like this.

"Could there be something wrong?" Su Mo asked.

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao also hoped that she was mistaken. Master Huijue was the first golden thigh she held onto after coming to the other world. Not only did she introduce many good businesses to her, she also lent her a house in the capital city where every inch of land was worth a lot of money to live in.

If she is the big boss behind the scenes——

Did the ancients hide so deeply? Su Xiaoxiao was almost doubting her life! Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them: "Can I ask what the identity of Master Huijue is? The Wei family and the Su family seem to have made friends with her."

Su Mo said: "She is the eldest princess, the twin sister of the late emperor."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Does she have a grudge against the Wei family?"

Judging from the clues we have at present, it was the person behind Prime Minister Guo and Sikong Yun who conspired with Mo Guiyuan and Bei Yan to plot against the Wei family. This person is even more ruthless than Mo Guiyuan.

After all, Mo Guiyuan only wanted the lives of Wu'an Jun and Wei Xu. This man wanted all the men in the Wei family to never return.

Su Mo looked at Wei Ting. He couldn't answer this question.

Wei Ting shook his head: "As far as I know, no."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Could it be that she wants to support Emperor Jingxuan and eliminate the biggest threat to him?"

The Wei family is a former subordinate of the King of Nanyang and has always been a thorn in the heart of Emperor Jingxuan. He wanted to take back the military power of the Wei family, but he was also very dependent on the Wei family to guard the north.

Su Xiaoxiao speculated wildly: "Ah, could it be that Emperor Jingxuan is her nephew in name but actually her biological son? This guess is very reliable! Think about it, the late emperor established Prince Nanyang as the emperor before his death, and the imperial edict fell into the hands of the eldest princess. She is the late emperor's twin sister, and the late emperor trusted her. He thought she would announce the imperial edict to the world, but she hid the imperial edict and forged a fake imperial edict to establish Prince Ruyang as the emperor. How about it, isn't it reasonable and perfect?"

Su Mo nodded seriously: "Yes."

Wei Ting glanced at Su Mo speechlessly: Can you stop spoiling your sister like this? Wei Ting said pointedly: "The Grand Princess treats the two nephews no differently. Besides, doesn't the Queen Mother know whether Emperor Jingxuan is her biological son?"

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes: "Oh, that's true."

Su Mo was unconditionally one-sided.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "It doesn't matter, I still think what you said makes more sense, you are very smart."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "My cousin is so nice!"

Wei Ting's face darkened. Is he so arrogant now? Su Mo, don't you feel guilty for lying with your eyes open? Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and glared at Wei Ting: "You deserve to be single!"

Wei Ting pointed at Su Mo calmly and said, "Just so you know, he's the one who's single now."

Su Xiaoxiao blinked, and her flattery hit the horse's hoof.

Su Mo was not at all shocked, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao tenderly: "If we don't get married, I can always be good to my sister, and there won't be a sister-in-law who uses my sister as a punching bag every day."

Killing people and destroying their hearts!

Wei Ting almost vomited blood.

Why didn't I realize that Su Mo was so naughty before?! Today, Su Mo started a day of reaching the highest level of tea art.

There was a jar of walnuts on the table. Su Mo and Wei Ting peeled one at the same time and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.

"I've practiced." Su Mo said.

Su Xiaoxiao: Uh… Is that the exercise I understand? It’s not about taking someone’s brains out, right? This guy is clearly a warm-hearted brother, not a dark boss.

Su Mo smiled: "If you like to eat it, I will peel it for you every day. Don't worry, I won't provoke this princess or that county lady and rush to cause trouble for you."

Wei Ting was suddenly blown away!

Su Mo, if you have the guts, come out and fight! Su Xiaoxiao calmly acted as a peacemaker: "Let's talk business, let's talk business."

"Okay." Su Mo expressed his opinion in one second.

Wei Ting, who was overtaken again, said: "..."

Su Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved to see Wei Ting being humiliated by Su Mo.

Su Xiaoxiao continued: "The reason why the Su and Wei families became friends with the Grand Princess is -"

Su Mo said: "My great aunt and the eldest princess are close friends."

Wei Ting said: "My grandmother was the same. Back then -"

He did not give Su Mo a chance to show his courtesy and continued without taking a breath, "The Queen Mother, my grandmother Yue Ange, your grandmother Su Huayin, and the Grand Princess were all close friends. The four of them had a very good relationship. Later, due to some reasons, the Queen Mother's relationship with my grandmother and your grandmother faded."

Su Mo took advantage of the opportunity to explain to Su Xiaoxiao: "At that time, the late emperor had not yet ascended the throne, but the queen mother had already seen his ambitions and hoped that the Qin and Su families would support her eldest son in the future. Unfortunately, the Qin and Su families became closer to Prince Ruyang."

Wei Ting said unhappily: "She already knows all this."

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "It doesn't hurt for me to listen to it again!"

Wei Ting snorted coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "What about the Grand Princess? What is her position?"

Wei Ting said: "She doesn't get involved. She interacts with everyone, but the four of them no longer get together openly."

Su Xiaoxiao still had one thing she didn't understand: "Why did she become a nun?"

Wei Ting stared at her and said, "Because of her husband, she and his husband were very affectionate. After his death, she had no attachment to the world and became a nun in her fiefdom. Qingzhou was her fiefdom."

Qingzhou...something flashed through Su Xiaoxiao's mind.

"How is Prime Minister Guo?" Wei Ting asked.

"Unconscious." Su Xiaoxiao said, "She is good friends with Aunt Fu. How did they know each other?"

The Queen Mother, Su Huayin, and Yue Ange were all daughters of aristocratic families, so it was not surprising that they knew the royal family, but Aunt Fu's background was very ordinary.

Wei Ting explained: "Imperial Doctor Fu was the imperial physician who attended to the Prince Consort back then."

Having said that, Su Xiaoxiao understood why Doctor Fu fled to Qingzhou after the accident, because that was the fiefdom of the Grand Princess, and they could get the protection of the Grand Princess.

No wonder the governor went to ask to see her, but she ignored him.

With her noble status, even a high-ranking official in the court might not be able to see her, so what was a mere government official? The three of them looked at the portrait on the table again.

Could this kind old man really be the mastermind behind this?

Dusk is falling.

Outside the South City Gate, Aunt Fu's carriage sped along the official road and finally arrived before the city gate closed.

Oh my god, it broke 9000 in one second!

Please don't be too cruel, if you accidentally exceed 10,000, I, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist adding more chapters!      (End of this chapter)
