Chapter 50 The Queen Mother Goes to Fengchun Palace

Feng Xiyao stood up: "Then I have to go back now!"

Mo Cangyan frowned, and before he could speak, a strange Xiao Si came running over.

"Excuse me, is this Mo Yan, Mr. Mo?"

Mo Cangyan's expression was indifferent and he nodded.

Xiao Si continued, "Mr. Mo, my master wants to invite you. Do you have time to come to his house for a chat?"

“…”

Mo Cangyan pursed his lips.

Feng Xiyao stepped forward unhappily and asked, "Who is your master, and why did you ask Mo Yan to go?"

Xiao Si smiled and said, "My master is a student of Lord Kong Lu, Zhao Siye of the Imperial College! I read Mr. Mo's article and liked it very much. I hope to get to know him!"

Now that we have come to this, everyone knows what to do.

Xiao Feng nodded: "Please wait outside, we will be out soon after we tidy up!"

Xiao Si looked at the few people. They were all wearing coarse linen clothes. What was there to spruce up?

"Mr. Mo, please hurry up, otherwise my master will be angry. After all, there are too many people who want to make friends with my master!"

What Xiao Si said sounded as if Mo Yan being invited was something worth bragging about!

Feng Xiyao couldn't stand it anymore and walked over to argue with this man, but Mo Cangyan hurriedly hugged her and turned to look at Xiao Si with a flat tone.

"Got it, please wait a moment, little brother!"

Xiao Si curled his lips and smiled, then turned and walked out.

"Why are you holding me back, you dog-eyed slave? I'm already being kind by not knocking his head off!"

Mo Cangyan heard the protective tone in her words, and somehow he felt warm in his heart, and he curled his lips and wanted to smile.

"You are still laughing. You are the emperor and you are still laughing when he is mocked by others!"

Feng Xiyao stared at him with her big round eyes, looking indignant.

Seeing her puffy cheeks, Mo Cangyan raised his hand and pinched them.

"Important things come first, let's put other things aside!" He said indifferently, ignoring Xiao Si's ridicule.

"snort!"

Feng Xiyao waved the man's hand away, not wanting the other side of her face to be pinched again.

"Hey, don't touch me!"

She was doing this for his own good, and he looked calm. It was impossible for Feng Xiyao not to be angry.

Mo Cangyan lowered his eyes, and watched Feng Xiyao's every move with his deep and narrow phoenix eyes.

Seeing how warmly his master and his wife were getting along with each other for the first time, Xiao Feng smiled at them intimately.

Not hearing Qin Fang's voice, Xiao Feng turned to look at him. Seeing that he was looking at his two masters with something strange in his eyes, he poked him with his elbow and smiled as if he deserved a beating.

"Why aren't you smiling?"

Qin Fang was too lazy to look at him and withdrew his gaze indifferently.

Thinking that there was something else waiting for him, Feng Xiyao slapped his head.

"I forgot. I have something to do in the palace. I have to go back quickly!" she said, and was about to leave.

Mo Cangyan hurriedly grabbed her.

"Be careful, there are people guarding Fengchun Palace. Take Qin Fang with you and let him secretly take you in!"

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Fang sternly, his face expressionless, but a hint of warning flashed in his eyes.

Qin Fang lowered his head.

"Then what are you going to do?" Knowing that his trip would be dangerous, Feng Xiyao asked worriedly.

"I'm fine!"

Feng Xiyao understood, turned around and took Qin Fang out of the inn.

Mo Cangyan followed Feng Xiyao's figure for a long time.

Xiao Feng stepped forward: "Master, let's go!"

…

Shoukang Palace

"Aunt, Baoning has something important to report!"

The Queen Mother had just finished lunch when she heard Lin Baoning's loud voice.

She always liked quietness. She already had some opinions about the Lin family because of their affairs. Now when she heard Lin Baoning's voice, she became even more unhappy.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her walking in hurriedly, panting, the Queen Mother picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and asked indifferently.

Lin Baoning steadied himself and hid the smile on his face.

"Aunt, I have something very important to report to you!"

The Queen Mother put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said nonchalantly.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lin Baoning approached the Queen Mother and pretended to whisper.

"Aunt, the queen has left the palace. She has not returned for a month. Someone told me that the queen is hanging out with a strange man outside the palace."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned deeply.

"How is that possible!"

She knew how Feng Xiyao had been acting these days, and it was impossible for her to leave the palace and cause trouble.

"How can it be impossible? If you don't believe me, ask this little palace maid. She saw it with her own eyes!"

When Kong Xueer heard Concubine Li's order, she knelt down and spoke softly.

"Empress Dowager, what I said is absolutely true. I saw the Empress and a man being affectionate outside the palace. Then I asked someone to investigate and found out that she had been staying in the guest house outside the palace with that man for a month."

The Queen Mother was a little bit unconvinced. She frowned and looked at the palace maid with displeasure in her eyes.

"You asked someone to investigate the empress? Then I ask you, who gave you the courage? Who gave you the right?"

Kong Xueer didn't expect the Queen Mother to defend Feng Xiyao so much. She was stunned when she was scolded. Her eyes instantly turned red and she stared at the Queen Mother in a daze.

The Queen Mother, a champion in palace fighting, naturally would not show sympathy to Kong Xueer and her brows were tightly furrowed.

"I'm asking you a question, why are you crying?"

Concubine Li looked at this crying bitch. If she didn't have to rely on her to testify, she would have slapped her long ago. There was no cousin here, and she was still crying and making a fuss.

Feeling the Queen Mother's anger and Concubine Li's displeasure, Kong Xueer didn't dare to cry anymore and quickly wiped away her tears.

"I am not happy with the Queen Mother. I like the Emperor and I am worried that he will be hurt and sad because of this, so I asked someone to secretly leave the palace to investigate!"

The empress dowager lowered her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. There were a few tears on her beautiful oval face and her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of mist. She looked weak and fragile. If she were a man, he would definitely feel distressed.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother curled her lips and smiled.

Unfortunately, I am a woman and I am used to women's coquettishness and affectation, so I don't feel sympathy for them.

“…”

After seeing the Queen Mother looking at him, he started laughing again.

Kong Xueer thought that she was very satisfied with herself, and smiled secretly.

Worried that if the Queen Mother didn't leave, Feng Xiyao would secretly come back, Concubine Li hurried over and grabbed the Queen Mother's sleeve.

"Aunt, let's go to Fengchun Palace and see if we can see anyone there. Then you'll know if what we said is right!"

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly when she saw her foolish niece being used as a gun without realizing it.

"Then... I will go with you to take a look. If the queen is in the palace, I will punish you two severely!"

The Queen Mother knew Feng Xiyao's character, and when she recalled that her son had been missing for the past two months, she realized that the two of them must have gone out of the palace together to do some business.

But she couldn't show it too obviously. She just had to delay a little and wait for the queen to come back!

Concubine Li waited for the Queen Mother to stand up and nodded quickly.

"Okay, okay, if the queen hasn't left the palace to be with another man, auntie will say anything!"
