Chapter 104 Use her to threaten Xie Jingmo?
Sheng Cui was not vague. She said she would report it to the empress dowager, and she did so.
However, it did not say that Xie Jingmo beat Yun Zhaopigu, it only said that he did it.
The Queen Mother sat in the hall with a solemn expression, her eyes cast down, "In your opinion, this Yun Zhao might be more powerful than Lin Ruyu?"
Sheng Cui understood what the Queen Mother meant.
Since going against Lin Ruyu would destroy the relationship between mother and daughter, he would let Yun Zhao replace him and become a thorn between Lin Ruyu and Xie Jingmo.
After all, he's been a stand-in for seven years, so it must be of some use, right?
It's better than forcing herself to confront Xie Jingmo, causing discord between mother and son, and letting Xie Jingmo fail to get the love he wants again and have to leave for the frontier.
Sheng Cui knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and thought for a moment.
Then, he shook his head. "I don't think it will work. This Yun Zhao is simple-minded and has a very casual personality. If it comes to vying for favor, she has no tricks at all and is definitely no match for Lin Ruyu. Besides, she's just a stand-in. The real owner is already by her side. What use is a woman who looks 70% like her?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face immediately turned ugly.
There was a suffocating silence in the hall for a moment.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, "This Yun Zhao is so useless. After seven years of living together at the border, he can't even make Xie Jingmo care about him? He is just a waste!"
Sheng Cui knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
After a long time.
The Queen Mother asked irritably, "Yun Zhao has lived in the General's Mansion for such a long time. Have he and Yun Zhao ever slept in the same bed at night?"
Sheng Cui shook her head. "No, let alone sharing a bed, the general didn't come back many times. The only time they were in the same room, the general beat Yun Zhao."
The Queen Mother held her forehead with her hand. "This Yun Zhao is really useless! Forget it, you can leave!"
The Queen Mother sat on an elegant chair, her eyes slowly narrowing.
In the main hall.
"Royal brother, have you ever put in the effort to find someone for me? Why is it that after so long, there is still no news?"
"If you really can't do anything, I'll find someone else for me!"
Xie Jingmo was about to speak.
The emperor had already said to Li Minghai, who was standing beside him, "You continue to search for me. If you can't find him within five days, bring his head to me."
Li Minghai's old face wrinkled into a bitter gourd when he heard this.
Li Minghai asked Xie Jingmo for a painting, but was beaten out. He had no choice but to go to the street and tear down the painting on the notice himself.
result--
"This, this - who is the one drawing on the notice?! Wrong, ouch! Wrong!" Li Minghai slapped his thigh and went to ask Xie Jingmo for the drawing.
Xie Jingmo handed the painting with the mole to Li Minghai.
Li Minghai was immediately shocked. "General, please don't hurt me. This painting was not given to you by me."
Xie Jingmo said calmly, "This is the painting you gave me."
Li Minghai couldn't make trouble with Xie Jingmo, so he had to run into the palace in a breakdown and beg the emperor to give him another painting.
Li Minghai took the painting out and ran around the streets to find a hundred painters.
His head is painted here!
Just as Yun Zhao was about to take a nap, he was grabbed and thrown into the general's mansion.
She stood firm, then frowned, "Xie Jingmo, do you find it interesting?"
"If you don't want to stay in the general's mansion, go back to Liziguai immediately." Xie Jingmo frowned and spoke in a stern tone.
Yun Zhao stood up straight. "Has the matter of Chen Tingting been put to rest in the capital?"
Xie Jingmo: "Get out of here!"
Yun Zhao was not interested in staying any longer. It would be a good idea to go back to Liziguai. She took her bag and left.
Xie Jingmo was standing on the steps. When he saw Yun Zhao, he didn't even turn his head or say a word. He just walked away.
Xie Jingmo's original desire to get rid of the person quickly suddenly became complicated at that moment.
Just at this moment.
Someone comes in from outside.
Xie Jingmo saw it from a distance, pulled Yun Zhao back and threw him into the house.
It was Nanny Li who was beside the Queen Mother.
"General, was there any noise just now?" Nanny Li tilted her head and took a look inside.
Xie Jingmo said lightly, "I heard it wrong."
Nanny Li kept smiling. "The Queen Mother misses the General. Please come to the palace."
Xie Jingmo nodded and was about to take a step forward.
Then Madam Li said, "Miss Yun, please come too."
Xie Jingmo's steps were about to begin, but they stopped in mid-air.
He looked at Nanny Li, only to see her gaze pass over him and fall on the door behind him.
Nanny Li is an old lady in the palace. She followed the empress dowager when she was young and worked her way up to her current position.
A pair of eyes that have seen everything.
With just a glance, he knew that there was someone in the inner hall.
The door remained still. Nanny Li smiled and said, "Miss Yun, do you still need me to come and invite you? The Empress Dowager summons us, and no one has any reason to refuse."
Yun Zhao closed his eyes in the hall.
As someone who was about to leave, she really didn't know why the empress dowager kept summoning her.
She didn't go out immediately, but waited for a while.
Then, Xie Jingmo was heard saying outside: "Mammy, there's no one inside, you've made a mistake."
Nanny Li smiled softly, "Is that so? So it's at the Yuefu Inn? It doesn't matter. The person the Queen Mother wants will be found no matter where in the world."
There was silence again.
Nanny Li's voice came again, "General, what are you worried about? The Empress Dowager simply likes Miss Yun's straightforwardness and wants to meet her. I really don't understand why you are defending her like this, and I don't know how to report this to the Empress Dowager later."
Nanny Li kept a smile on her face. "General, I will wait for you and Miss Yun at the door. The Queen Mother is your mother and will not embarrass you. General, there is no need to be nervous."
After saying this, Nanny Li retreated gracefully.
It not only saved face for Xie Jingmo, but also conveyed the empress dowager's oral instructions in a dignified manner.
Even though Xie Jingmo and Yun Zhao didn't want to go to the palace this time, they had to go.
The two of them arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace.
Yun Zhao and Xie Jingmo bowed, and the Queen Mother gave them seats.
"Miss Yun is indeed beautiful. After seeing her today, I really like her."
Yun Zhao: “…” They had just met a few days ago, but the Queen Mother acted as if they had just met.
Yun Zhao didn't dare to speak, just smiled and nodded.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Jing Mo, today I went to the Emperor's place and saw the painting on the table. Why do I think it looks a bit like Miss Yun?"
Xie Jingmo frowned.
Yun Zhao immediately said, "Your Majesty, you must be joking. I am but an ant. How dare I marry into the royal family? There is no way I can catch the Emperor's eye."
These words fell.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Miss Yun, you are too modest. There is no shortage of beautiful women in the palace, but you are the only one who is as beautiful and heroic as Miss Yun. I have always been very good at judging people, and I don't think I am wrong."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, her gaze shifted from Yun Zhao's face to Xie Jingmo's.
She smiled gently, "Jing Mo, what do you think? Yun Zhao is the woman in the painting, right?"
This is to force Xie Jingmo to express his position.
Yun Zhao was caught in the middle, closed her eyes, and thought to herself that the Queen Mother really thought too highly of her.
Use her to threaten Xie Jingmo?
That's totally unnecessary!
