Chapter 295 Regret...
This realization made Mu Chengyan feel uneasy.
He had never imagined such a possibility.
He always felt that Yun Zhao would eventually follow him back to Liziguai.
After a long separation, she could no longer bear the longing for the heroine and threw herself into his arms.
Mu Chengyan's eyes were gloomy as he looked at the lotus pond in the distance, with a complicated look in his eyes.
When Yun Zhao came down from the court, it was already lunch time.
When she said she wanted to overthrow Yu Xiang, it was never just a casual remark.
In recent days, she has begun collecting evidence of Yu Xiang's corruption.
Therefore, he returned to the palace later than usual.
Yun Zhao didn't like riding in a sedan chair. As they were walking back, Fu Hai whispered to Yun Zhao, "Queen Dowager, the Regent is waiting for you at the door."
Yun Zhao raised his eyes and smiled faintly.
After walking over, he said, "It's sunny outside at noon. Don't wait outside. You'll get sunburned."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Chengyan had the illusion that Yun Zhao had never changed.
He smiled and said, "Seeing you come back, I feel relieved."
Yun Zhao walked towards the palace.
Mu Chengyan kept looking at Yun Zhao, waiting for her to smile at him after hearing these words.
But not.
Yun Zhao never looked at him, but walked in with a faint smile.
This may be the biggest difference between Mu Chengyan. Xie Jingmo is careless, while Mu Chengyan is meticulous.
He looked at Yun Zhao's delicate profile, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze on his face.
Fu Hai inadvertently saw a flash of displeasure on Mu Chengyan's face.
I was shocked for a moment.
Mu Chengyan's emotion came and went quickly.
Fu Hai blinked, and Mu Chengyan had returned to his indifferent appearance.
Mu Chengyan understood everything from the subtle details.
Something is moving away from him little by little.
He clenched his fists and asked Yun Zhao with a smile, "Why are you back so late today? Is there something going on in the court?"
Mu Chengyan is the regent. He knows what was discussed in the court today, who he met with privately, what they said, and what he wants to do.
It wasn't hard for him to know.
He smiled and poured tea for Yun Zhao who was sitting opposite him, waiting for Yun Zhao to speak himself.
Yun Zhao took a sip of tea, smiled faintly and said, "It's just the usual stuff, no different from usual. I also dealt with some other things, so I'm late."
Mu Chengyan's smile froze on the corner of his mouth again.
A moment later.
Coming back to his senses from Yun Zhao's puzzled gaze, he picked up the bowl without savoring the food and muttered, "Is that so..."
After dinner.
Yun Zhao didn't take a lunch break because she had a lot of very important things to deal with.
She didn't have much time, so she couldn't afford to be lazy.
Just as she was about to spread out the evidence on the table, someone suddenly walked in.
It's Mucheng Yan.
Yun Zhao spread out the evidence in his hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
It's just this one action.
Yun Zhao clearly felt that the tense atmosphere of Mu Chengyan when he just entered the door seemed to relax a little.
He laughed.
Although the arc of his smile was the same as before, Yun Zhao realized that he was actually unhappy before he entered the door, but now he was happy again.
Yun Zhao didn't understand.
Mu Chengyan pointed at the evidence in Yun Zhao's hand and said, "It belongs to Yu Xiang."
This is an affirmative sentence.
Yun Zhao didn't want to hide it from Mu Chengyan, and of course after what happened last time, she had no desire to share it actively, so she just answered casually when she entered the room.
Now that Mu Chengyan saw it, she nodded, "Yeah."
Mu Chengyan smiled and said, "I thought that after what happened last time, you wouldn't want to discuss this with me anymore."
Yun Zhao spread out the evidence and said, "You're overthinking it."
Mu Chengyan then relented, "Actually, after I went back and thought about it, your approach wasn't a problem. Yu Xiang's problems have been going on for a long time, and now the imperial examination is just around the corner. If you don't deal with it, Yu Xiang will once again serve as the chief examiner, and then another group of students will become Yu Xiang's followers, which is really not good for the court."
Yun Zhao nodded.
This is one consideration.
Mu Chengyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Of course, it's a good thing Xie Jingmo left. Otherwise, even if the previous matter was settled on the surface, Yu Xiang would not let Xie Jingmo go. Yu Xiang would definitely find ways to make things difficult for him."
When Mu Chengyan said this, he was observing Yun Zhao.
"I heard that before Xie Jingmo left, Prime Minister Yu was already planning to frame him and had hidden a large sum of silver in the General's Mansion. Later, because Xie Jingmo married the Xiongnu, Prime Minister Yu was unable to make plans, so he secretly transported the silver out. I wonder if Yun Zhao knows about this?"
When Yun Zhao heard this, his breathing became even weaker.
She likes to be direct.
I don't like Mu Chengyan's repeated tests.
Mu Chengyan smiled and said, "I am overthinking it. Yun Zhao is the Queen Mother and would definitely not want to know about this. I just told you this as a joke. Many people say that Xie Jingmo's marriage to a distant place has ruined the general's reputation, but I think there is nothing wrong with it. Yu Xiang is powerful, and Xie Jingmo is a carefree person. He wouldn't think of these things."
This was the case in the frontier areas in the past.
Xie Jingmo is a general, but he never minds that the people under him are stronger than him.
No matter who proposed the suggestion or strategy, he would accept it as long as it was feasible. Even if it was a woman from Yun Zhao who made the suggestion cautiously for the first time, it would be adopted after serious consideration.
At that time, Xie Jingmo was like the bright moon in the sky to Yun Zhao.
And she was as humble as an ant on the ground. When she carefully expressed her thoughts, everyone laughed, except Xie Jingmo.
Pointing at the group of lieutenants, he cursed, "You're no better than a little girl like her, and you still have the nerve to laugh!"
Later, Xie Jingmo often adopted Yun Zhao's plans at the right time.
He seemed—
He never thought that it was shameful or unspeakable for a general like him to follow the advice of a woman.
"Yun Zhao?"
"Yun Zhao? What are you thinking about?" Mu Chengyan discovered that Yun Zhao would occasionally fall into a brief daze recently.
As if he was thinking about something seriously.
Yun Zhao came back to his senses, "Hmm?"
Mu Chengyan smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about? So serious?"
Yun Zhao smiled faintly and pointed at the evidence in front of him, "Thinking about this, since Xie Jingmo has married far away, let's not talk about him. I have my own things to do."
Mu Chengyan listened to this and looked at Yun Zhao's profile, unable to tell whether it was true or false.
He then had to accept it.
Yun Zhao's growth was unexpected. The Yun Zhao who tried hard to restrain himself and endure, but could still see the clues, is gone.
She eventually grew into a towering tree.
Unfathomable.
No one can spy without permission.
It seems that he has missed a lot over the years because of his willfulness and overconfidence.
He looked at Yun Zhao solemnly.
Thinking silently in my heart——
Yun Zhao, I'm back now.
