The expression on the queen's face also looked much better.
After all, what in the world could make her happier than seeing her own son?
Even though Jun Mochen came with Chen Yan, the Queen couldn't hide the smile on her face and immediately asked the palace servants to serve them tea and snacks.
Jun Mochen looked at the busy palace servants and knew that his mother should not be implicated. He let out a deep breath, sat down on the chair, and began to eat and drink.
Seeing this, the queen's face was full of smiles. After caring for a long time, she finally remembered to ask: "Why did you come so early? You just got married and you should have a good rest."
As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Yan's lower abdomen with an ambiguous look on her face, which made Shen Yan very uncomfortable.
This old woman still wants her to give birth to children for her useless son?
Dream on!
Chen Yan just pretended that she didn't understand the Queen's hidden meaning.
Jun Mochen didn't understand what was said at all. He just added, "Yanyan said something big happened in the palace last night, so it's better to come and pay your respects early."
The Queen did not think that there was any necessary connection between the incident in the Ming Palace and the earlier visit, but she was somewhat satisfied that her daughter-in-law cared about her.
Thinking of this, the resentment I had towards Chen Yan dissipated a lot.
She nodded and smiled at the two of them, "You guys are really thoughtful."
Chen Yan glanced at the guards standing at the door and asked curiously, "Mother, what are those at the door..."
Whenever this matter was mentioned, the queen felt both happy and angry.
She was happy that Concubine Yu's child was gone, but she was also annoyed that the emperor simply didn't take her, the queen, seriously.
So thinking about this, the expression on the queen's face looked a little strange.
She was silent for a long time, and Nanny Chang beside her spoke up for her, "Prince Consort, you may not know that after the palace banquet last night, the Emperor placed all the concubines under house arrest in his own palace. They will not be released until the truth about Concubine Yu is revealed."
"The Second Prince and his wife do not live in the harem, so they are not aware of this matter."
Chen Yan and the others really didn't know this decree.
It seems that the emperor is really concerned about what happened last night, and it is probably impossible to fool him.
The only option now is to divert the blame and completely extricate myself.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan clenched his fists tightly, and his mind began to work hard, looking for a way to escape.
After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Who did the Emperor send to investigate this matter?"
Nanny Chang was not very clear about this matter, but the Queen heard about it from someone.
"It seems to be Lord Zhou Lizhou."
Zhou Li?
Chen Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Ever since the pine smoke incident, Zhou Li had been against him in almost everything and always contradicted him in the court.
Chen Yan guessed that Zhou Li probably knew about his plot against Song Yan.
Now, the emperor has actually handed this matter over to Zhou Li, so I have to plan it carefully.
The Queen felt that Chen Yan's reaction was a little strange, as if she was too concerned about this matter.
But she didn't think much about it. After all, yesterday was Chen Yan's wedding day. Even if she wanted to do something bad, she would not set her mind on the emperor.
But when she thought of this, the queen was shocked.
She felt as if she had guessed something, and immediately looked at Chen Yan with a look of surprise.
Chen Yan had clearly been rejecting Chen Er at first, so why did she suddenly agree?
Also, even if Chen'er has not yet been crowned king or appointed prime minister, he is still one of the emperor's only two adult princes. Chen Yan is just an orphan, so why would she always reject Chen'er?
Also, why is Chen Yan so concerned about the emperor's affairs?
Could it be that she originally intended to use the medicine on herself?
In an instant, the queen's eyes changed when she looked at Chen Yan.
She had been somewhat wary of Chen Yan before, and now, she was even more on guard.
The queen felt that she had not misjudged the person. Chen Yan was indeed not a simple woman.
If this is really the case, can Chen'er, with his cunning mind, be able to outsmart her?
The queen was extremely worried and decided to have some private conversation with Jun Mochen later.
It just so happened that Chen Yan was preoccupied with Zhou Li's matter and was trying to find a way to break the impasse. The Queen said that she wanted to keep Jun Mochen to talk a few more words. Not only did she not find it strange, but she was grateful to the Queen for sending this troublesome person away.
His expression was unusually kind.
Seeing this, the queen felt even more depressed.
Seeing Jun Mochen still looking clueless, the queen felt that she was really disappointed in him.
It is obvious that neither she nor the emperor is stupid, so why is the son they gave birth to so stupid?
When the queen thought of this, she felt a headache.
The queen was already feeling relieved, but Jun Mochen still looked clueless.
Seeing that hints were useless, the Queen could only gently remind him: "You...did you get along well with Chen Yan last night?"
When Jun Mochen heard the Queen mention last night, he remembered that he had not consummated his marriage with Chen Yan. He thought the Queen was asking about this and felt a little guilty for a moment.
After all, it was he who refused to consummate his marriage with Chen Yan last night.
Jun Mochen lowered his head, not daring to look at the Queen. He just nodded randomly, "Not bad."
The Queen felt something was wrong. She stared at Jun Mochen with suspicion and asked in disbelief, "Are you okay?"
"Hmm." Jun Mochen took a deep breath, then said seriously to the Queen, "Don't worry, Mother. I get along very well with Yanyan."
Jun Mochen's words were very confident, but when the Queen heard these words, how could she not be worried?
The Queen closed her eyes, "But last night, your father..."
The Queen had just given the beginning. Jun Mochen was confused, not knowing why the Queen suddenly told him this.
However, no one knew if it was the sudden appearance of Wenquxing that made Jun Mochen enlightened. In short, he suddenly had an inspiration.
He suddenly remembered Chen Yan's plan against Sang Liwan last night.
Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't see Sang Liwan last night, and then something happened between the emperor and Concubine Yu, he had no time to think about this matter.
But the Queen specifically mentioned it now. Could it be that she already knew about it?
Thinking of this, Jun Mochen suddenly raised his head and looked at the queen.
What he was thinking at this moment was, could it be that Chen Yan's plan for Sang Liwan had tricked the emperor?
I have to say that although Jun Mochen has a limited mind, he is still good at making guesses.
This guess is almost right.
The mother and son looked at each other, but were thinking completely different things.
After an unspecified length of silence, Jun Mochen mustered up the courage to ask, "Mother, do you think that what happened last night was related to Yanyan?"
