Chapter 72 Feng Xiyao's eloquent tongue
Early in the morning, upon hearing that Concubine Li had been demoted and imprisoned, Lin Youquan ignored the emperor's orders and broke directly into the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.
Seeing her brother coming, the Queen Mother smiled.
"Why is my brother here?"
Lin Youquan looked indifferent.
"Your Majesty knows that I am your brother, but do you know that Baoning is still your niece? How could you just watch her being bullied like that?"
The Queen Mother heard the news from Chaoyang Palace last night and knew the whole story.
Regarding her brother, the Queen Mother sighed and spoke slowly.
"Brother, do you know what Bao Ning did? She poisoned Zhao Yi in the harem. If she wasn't my niece, she would have been banished to the cold palace long ago!"
Lin Youquan was angry: "How can you conclude that the poison was given by Bao Ning just based on what that bitch and her maid said? Have you investigated?"
"The general has crossed the line!"
Mo Cangyan heard the news early in the morning and rushed to Shoukang Palace with Feng Xiyao.
Feng Xiyao walked to the Queen Mother and patted her hand comfortingly.
Mo Cangyan looked coldly at Lin Youquan, who was filled with anger.
"The evidence uncle mentioned is all there. There are witnesses and evidence at the time, including Concubine Li's motive!"
"On the first day Kong Zhaoyi was canonized, Concubine Li took people to smash the Chaoyang Palace, and the two of them even had a big fight."
"Based on Concubine Li's personality, Uncle knows she will not let this go and will definitely take revenge!"
"That day, Kong Zhaoyi vomited and had diarrhea after eating the snacks sent by Concubine Li. The imperial physician also found the same poison in the snacks!"
"With so much evidence, do you think that Concubine Li was wrongly accused?"
Seeing that Lin Youquan's face was getting worse, Mo Cangyan continued.
"And I am the emperor, and what matters is evidence!"
After hearing this, Lin Youquan became very angry.
"Your Majesty, you need to think clearly about who is your family member and who helped you to this position!"
"Don't do it!"
Feng Xiyao: [These words are dangerous both openly and covertly. Could it be that Lin Youquan wants to rebel? ? ]
[But it wasn't that fast in the book. The book said that he got help from a mysterious person, got a lot of treasures and weapons, and then rebelled, although he failed in the end! ]
Thinking of this, Feng Xiyao frowned: [Could it be that he has already obtained it now? ]
After hearing this, Mo Cangyan's eyes darkened and he chuckled, "I know this, so I have to deal with this matter fairly. Otherwise, the people of Daxia will definitely think that the general is more powerful than the king and has no respect for the law!"
"you……"
Lin Youquan was furious.
Seeing that he was about to say something, the Queen Mother suddenly felt a headache.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Feng Xiyao asked worriedly.
The Queen Mother held her head in pain and said, "My old illness has come back!"
Seeing this, Mo Cangyan walked forward and carried the empress dowager to the couch.
"Someone, call the imperial physician!"
Seeing the Queen Mother's painful face, Feng Xiyao got angry because she was the best mother-in-law who gave her money, treated her well, and would not cause trouble for her without any reason.
She met Lin Youquan's cold gaze and said, "General Lin is satisfied, but he has made the Queen Mother so angry!"
"If you have any grievances, go find the truth yourself. You think you are the father, but Kong Lu is not the father!"
"Kong Zhaoyi is the daughter of Grand Academician Kong Lu. Her daughter was harmed by Concubine Li, so it would be better if she didn't cause trouble for you. How dare you come to Shoukang Palace to ask for punishment?"
"If I were Kong Lu, and I knew your daughter had done such harm to my daughter, I would have crushed your face!"
“…”
The room was quiet for a while, and no one spoke.
Lin Youquan looked at Feng Xiyao fiercely: Damn the queen, damn Kong Lu! !
Thinking that now was not the time to mobilize troops, Lin Youquan clenched his fists and endured it.
"If that is the case, I am sorry to disturb the Queen Mother's rest. I will take my leave now!"
Having said that, he turned and left.
Seeing that the person finally left, Feng Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when Lin Youquan looked at her, she almost thought he was going to punch her!
Turning back to meet Mo Cangyan's admiring eyes, she raised her chin proudly.
Nan'an Palace
"Luo'er, I'm back!"
Zhang Luoyi walked out of the room and saw Mo Lingyun walking towards him with a smile on his face.
Before, Mo Lingyun seldom smiled in the mansion, but in the past two months, it seemed that he smiled more than in all the previous times combined.
Zhang Luoyi said calmly: "Now that the prince is back, let's have dinner!"
Having said that, he walked towards the inn.
Mo Lingyun held the box in his hand and felt disappointed when he saw that she ignored him.
I have been pestering her for several months, but she is still cold and indifferent to me.
Mo Lingyun tightly grasped the box in his hand and whispered to her back.
"Luo'er, what do you want me to do?"
Zhang Luoyi stopped but did not look back at him.
After a while, she slowly said, "Your Highness, you are joking. I don't care about your words!"
It has never happened before, so how can we be willing or not?
After saying that, she lifted her feet and left.
Mo Lingyun stared at her back intently. Thinking that she would continue to treat him like this, he felt as if something was missing in his heart, and his breathing became heavy.
And what she said was right. I was cold and heartless to her at that time. In comparison, she is much better now than she was before.
Thinking of his previous indifference and neglect towards her, Mo Lingyun felt that things were changing. He laughed at himself and thought he really deserved it.
But when I thought about how she had been neglected by me for so many years, I couldn't stand her indifference in the past few days. I felt her helplessness and loss at that time.
Mo Cangyan hated himself for a moment. He raised his eyes and his gaze became firm.
"Luo'er, I won't give up easily!"
…
After dinner, Mo Lingyun grabbed Zhang Luoyi who wanted to leave without saying a word and carefully took out the rouge box.
"I saw this box of rouge when I came back. I heard from the owner that the fragrance has a calming effect on the nerves, and rouge can also beautify the face when applied!"
He handed it to her like a treasure, his eyes full of hope: "Luo'er is so beautiful, she will look even better with this on!"
“…”
Seeing that his tone was cautious and his eyes were looking at her seriously, it seemed as if he was afraid that she would refuse.
Zhang Luoyi felt warm inside when he saw how flattering he was.
But when I thought about what I had heard before, Mo Lingyun often bought a lot of expensive gold and silver jewelry and sent them to the general's mansion.
We have been married for many years and he has never given me anything, but now he suddenly gave me rouge...
So, could it be that the thing in his hand was given to him because Lin Ling didn't want it?
“…”
After looking at each other for a long time, no one spoke. Just as Mo Lingyun's eyes changed from happy, to flattering, and then to lost, Zhang Luoyi reached out and took it.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Seeing her take it, Mo Lingyun smiled happily, like a child who got candy, with sparkling eyes.
Zhang Luoyi looked at the box in his hand and laughed.
"I accepted this rouge. Your Majesty, are you so happy?"
"Of course, since Luo'er is willing to accept my things, this is a good start!"
"Okay, since I have nothing to do today, Luo'er, put on this rouge and show it to me!"
Having said that, Mo Lingyun picked her up and ran towards the room.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let me down!" Zhang Luoyi blushed at his action.
"I won't!" Mo Lingyun refused directly.
"How shameful!"
"……
The servants who were passing by the mansion couldn't help but smile secretly when they saw the two of them like this.
"Did the prince catch up with the princess?"
The servant who was sweeping the floor nodded: "It looks like it to me!"
"Great! Then our palace will soon have a little prince or princess!"
