Chapter 294 I will not compromise in a long separation.
Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment.
She really didn't expect Mu Chengyan to say that.
She was silent for a long time.
Looking at the flickering candlelight in the distance, the hand holding the pen on the table moved slowly.
At that moment, Yun Zhao felt a little regretful.
but……
A few seconds later.
Yun Zhao felt that—
never mind.
She raised her eyes, the regret in them no longer visible. She smiled softly and said, "Another reason? Are you trying to tell me that I'm taking my anger out on Yu Xiang because of Xie Jingmo? Is that what you mean?"
Mu Chengyan looked into Yun Zhao's clear eyes, and his hands hanging by his legs tightened again and again.
"I'm sorry," Mu Chengyan said, "I spoke without thinking. That's not what I meant."
Yun Zhao shook his head.
Appears calm.
She patiently explained, thinking about the most difficult minister she faced in the court, "Prime Minister Yu has a huge influence, and we need to make many plans. But the more we plan, the more we will find that he will act recklessly. This time, he dared to order someone to kill Guo Tao in the street.
The purpose is to make a show of force and let everyone see that he can do whatever he wants in this court. What he wants to challenge is not Prime Minister Guo, but the current imperial power. If I retreat, how can I face the people of the world?
Xie Jingmo was too impulsive this time, but on the one hand I understand him. Guo Xiang loved him, and he killed Yu Bai. This was filial piety and righteousness. There was nothing wrong with it. No matter who killed Yu Bai today,
I will save him, not only because he is Xie Jingmo, but also because he is telling everyone on my behalf that this court is not Prime Minister Yu's. Xie Jingmo is very impulsive about this, but I am grateful to him. "
It had been a long time since Yun Zhao had given such a long explanation since she became the empress dowager.
After hearing this, Mu Chengyan looked annoyed.
Yun Zhao looked at him and smiled softly. "Just because the previous dynasty failed to get rid of Yu Xiang doesn't mean I can't do it. Although I'm a woman, I also want to give it a try and see if I can shake this big tree and do something for the people."
Mu Chengyan's throat tightened when he heard this, "I underestimated you."
Yun Zhao laughed.
She suddenly remembered that during the previous palace coup, Mu Chengyan asked her if she wanted to go with him. In his intuition, he also felt that a woman should not be able to bear so much.
He felt that she sat in this high position just out of hatred?
When he came out of the dungeon, Xie Jingmo was surprised, but after a moment's hesitation, he accepted it. After the palace coup, he was the first to say to her, "Although you are a woman, I understand your talents. I understand your strategies and scheming better than anyone else. I am helping you today not only because you are Yun Zhao, but also because I understand that you are worthy of standing in a high position. You came from the bottom and you understand the difficulties of the people in the bottom. You are the one who can truly speak for the people!"
She didn't think much about it at the time.
Thinking about it now, I have a different experience.
Mu Chengyan returned to his room and looked at Yun Zhao several times when he left.
Yun Zhao raised his eyes, looked at him, and said with a smile, "Go back and rest."
The next morning.
Yun Zhao got up from the bed. Qi Cai came in to wait on her and said to Yun Zhao, "Queen Mother, we have a lot of delicious food today, all of which you will like."
Yun Zhao; “?”
Qicai said, "The Prince Regent got up early this morning and went to the kitchen to make a lot of your favorite food. He said that he said something wrong yesterday, so he got up early today to cheer you up."
Yun Zhao nodded and smiled lightly.
Qicai took a look and saw that there was not much smile in Yun Zhao's eyes, which looked faint, not as good as when General Xie was around. Although he was always angry, the smile in his eyes was real.
"Eunuch Fu Hai, I don't understand," Yun Zhao said, having breakfast with Mu Chengyan inside. She looked puzzled. "If the Queen Mother wasn't so against General Xie, why did she let him go with that female leader? She knew clearly that General Xie didn't want to leave. I don't think the Queen Mother even needed to persuade him to stay. Just a slight softening of attitude would be enough."
With her colorful fingers pinching a little bit, she said very seriously: "General Xie will never leave. I think the general left because he was sad. He was sad because the queen mother didn't want to keep him."
Fu Hai remembered that when Xie Jingmo left, he walked so far away and still waved to Yun Zhao.
He sighed softly, "I guess he's sad."
Vice Admiral Gao listened for a while and asked, "So is there still hope for my brother?"
The people outside spoke in low voices.
Except for the loud-voiced Deputy General Gao.
The sound was so loud that everyone inside could hear it.
Mu Chengyan served Yun Zhao soup at the dinner table. He pretended to be confused and asked Yun Zhao with a smile, "Yes, Deputy General Gao is worried about me. Do I still have a chance?"
As Mu Chengyan spoke, he handed the bowl full of soup to Yun Zhao.
There was still a hint of a smile on his face.
There is also a bit of a careful and flattering meaning.
Caught off guard.
Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment. After coming back to her senses, she put her hands on the table and was about to speak.
Mu Chengyan laughed first, "Stop messing around, eat quickly, then go to court. I said something wrong last night, Zhao Zhao, don't hold it against me."
As he said that, he called Fu Hai and the others in loudly.
"I heard that when Xie Jingmo was here, you all ate at the same table. Why did you all run away when I came? Am I that scary?"
Fu Hai leaned forward and bowed his head. "Your Highness, you must be joking. We are here to honor you."
Mu Chengyan has always been a powerful regent, unlike Xie Jingmo, who came from the military camp and mingled well with his subordinates. From the moment he rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the lotus pond with Deputy General Gao without distinguishing between the big and small kings, they knew that Xie Jingmo was a person who did not care about trivial matters.
There is a heroic spirit in my blood.
Therefore, he never cared about his status as an emperor. It was not that he did not have those strategies, but that he was too lazy to fight and too lazy to get involved in this worldly world.
If Yun Zhao had not been the empress dowager, he probably wouldn't have bothered to go to the palace unless there was a war.
None of them showed any intention of sitting down together.
After Yun Zhao had been gone for a long time, the smile on Mu Chengyan's lips gradually faded.
He was really afraid that Yun Zhao would say something.
So before Yun Zhao could speak, he hurriedly called Fu Hai in.
Last time, he was in the palace.
Yun Zhao always goes along with him.
Afraid he would leave.
I'm afraid he'll try to take advantage of me.
My mind is on him.
Now she is always calm and unhurried. Although she never asked him whether he wanted to go back this time, he knew that if he said he wanted to leave.
She wouldn't keep him.
This realization made Mu Chengyan extremely panicked.
Over the years, he always thought that he was free and easy and indifferent to fame and fortune, and Yun Zhao would eventually understand the preciousness behind this indifference.
But he seemed to be missing something...
Yun Zhao is a rare and independent-minded woman. Her mind surpasses that of countless men. She is in a high position and will eventually have a bright future.
She won't be obsessed with love.
Nor will I compromise in a long separation.
