Chapter 296 What else is in the letter?
Yun Zhao initially thought that Mu Chengyan really agreed with his decision to eliminate Yu Xiang.
But later in the discussion, she discovered that he still felt it was too aggressive.
In many of his methods, he was too roundabout.
Yun Zhao is actually not afraid of others disagreeing with her.
But she didn't like the attitude of someone saying nice things but constantly doubting and denying things in practice.
"I've already made up my mind, so let's not discuss this anymore, okay?" Yun Zhao felt a little tired. "If you have nothing else to do, why don't you go read a book?"
Mu Chengyan's mood suddenly turned cold.
The room fell into dead silence.
"I'm doing this for your own good."
Mu Chengyan felt that his patience had run out. Even the late emperor hadn't been so difficult to teach. "Prime Minister Yu has many followers in Jiangnan. If you choose to attack them first, Prime Minister Yu will react with stress, and then it will be difficult for you to deal with them immediately. It's better for you to attack Fujian, Zhejiang and Hangzhou first. These two places are far away from the emperor. Even if you attack them, Prime Minister Yu won't receive any news for a while, and even if you do receive news later, he won't react much."
Yun Zhao disagreed. "I clearly want to get rid of him. What's the point of me moving two small places? If I don't catch him off guard now, by the time Yu Xiang reacts and makes full preparations, I will be in a passive position."
Mu Chengyan frowned. "How could that be? Those two places are far away, so news doesn't reach the capital that quickly. Yun Zhao, believe me, I assisted the late emperor in the same way, and I never made any mistakes."
Yun Zhao nodded. "Yes, nothing went wrong. But Mu Chengyan, you don't understand me. I'm not the kind of person who seeks to avoid mistakes without seeking success. What I want is to get rid of Yu Xiang, not to make him feel a little afraid. If I don't act decisively, he will think I'm afraid of him and become even more aggressive. I'm fine, but in the end, it's the people who suffer."
Mu Chengyan shook his head, "How could that be? Haven't you already taken action?"
Yun Zhao closed her eyes. There were many things going on in the previous dynasty, and now she had to argue with Mu Chengyan after returning. She was really tired.
Mu Chengyan’s stance is always, “I’m doing this for your own good.”
Yun Zhao sighed, "Let's not discuss this first. I'm tired."
Mu Chengyan was a little annoyed. "Why is it always like this?" He seemed agitated. "No matter what we discuss, there's always no conclusion. Actually, you've already made up your mind, right?"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything.
Mu Chengyan then said, "You chose Jiangnan but avoided Fujian and Zhejiang because Fujian is Guo Xiang's hometown. Guo Xiang originally wanted to take Xie Jingmo back to Fujian to retire there, so you have a special feeling for that place, right? In the final analysis, you still care about Xie Jingmo."
This was the second time Mu Chengyan said this.
Less than seven days had passed since the first time.
This time, Yun Zhao was no less shocked than the first time.
She stared at Mu Chengyan blankly, "Why do you think so?"
"What does this have to do with Xie Jingmo?"
Mu Chengyan seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. He stared into Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "Then why are you so anxious to get rid of Yu Xiang? What are your plans? What are you thinking?"
As soon as these words came out.
Yun Zhao fell silent for a rare moment.
After a long time, she said calmly: "You think too much."
Mu Chengyan looked at her for a long time, then walked out with his fists clenched.
Deputy General Gao tilted his head at the door and asked Fu Hai, "What did Mu Chengyan mean by asking Yun Zhao?"
Fu Hai shook his head, "I don't know."
Deputy General Gao: "Also, why is Mu Chengyan suddenly so unsure? Xie Jingmo is gone, and he's arguing with Yun Zhao over someone who's been gone for days? Isn't that really unwise?"
Fu Hai glanced at Deputy General Gao.
Deputy General Gao was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Fu Hai didn't say anything.
Deputy General Gao kept pestering Fu Hai.
Fu Hai sighed deeply, "Deputy General Gao, have you ever been liked by anyone?"
Deputy General Gao nodded, "Of course, my wife's heart and eyes are all about me."
Fu Hai nodded, "I've heard a saying, and I've seen the way you loved me, so now you don't love me, I can tell at a glance. Because I was loved by you before, I can't accept the way you don't love me now."
Deputy General Gao's eyes widened little by little, "Is that so?"
Fu Hai said: "It's just a guess."
That day, Yun Zhao came back late from court and inadvertently did not respond to Mu Chengyan.
That was definitely not intentional.
Deliberately not responding to Mu Chengyan, or deliberately making him unhappy.
Simply because—
I no longer have that thought.
So, unable to respond.
This is not Yun Zhao’s fault.
It is because of this that Mu Chengyan feels powerless.
The love between them was silent and tacit. After many years, this tacit understanding faded with time, so Mu Chengyan could not accept it calmly.
He might regret being away for so long.
But the past can never be returned.
Yun Zhao had too many things to do, so she was unaware of this.
Or you may already be feeling uncomfortable but not realizing it.
The first person to realize this was Mucheng Yan.
Deputy General Gao’s attention is no longer focused on Fuhai.
He could only ask for the ten-thousandth time, "Does my brother still have a chance?"
Yun Zhao did not try to coax Mu Chengyan like he did many years ago.
Speaking of coaxing.
In fact, Yun Zhao doesn’t know how to coax people at all. She is not the gentle and charming type.
Her usual way of showing weakness is to start a conversation or something like that.
Xie Jingmo has always been very useful to me. Xie Jingmo has a bad temper and a rebellious personality. He can get angry about anything, like a big, violent wolfdog.
But I still coaxed her a lot.
Many times, you just need to say a word and he will come down the stairs quickly.
Mu Chengyan is different. He is a scholar with many twists and turns in his mind and his thoughts are divergent and imaginative.
Yun Zhao brought him a pot of tea in the evening, but he didn't say a word.
Yun Zhao put the thought of people aside, she was indeed very busy.
Busy getting rid of the remaining appearance!
When Yun Zhao wiped out Jiangnan, Mu Chengyan already knew about it.
Yun Zhao was fighting against many heroes in the court. When he saw the person standing in the lotus pond, he had no desire to go in.
She turned her head and said to Fu Hai, "Let's go to the imperial study. Go in and tell Mu Chengyan that he doesn't have to wait for me for dinner."
Fu Hai said, "Yes."
Yun Zhao turned around and went to the imperial study.
Yun Zhao grew up in a poor family and envied others who had big houses and large yards with flowers and plants in the yards, and pavilions where he could drink tea and enjoy the breeze.
The Queen Mother's palace was where she liked to go on weekdays.
Deputy General Gao always said that Xie Jingmo rolled up his trouser legs to fish in the lotus pond to make up for his childhood, and she was there, fulfilling her extravagant childhood dream.
Now, that place made her feel a little tired.
Deputy General Gao handed the peeled lotus seeds to Yun Zhao.
A full bowl.
Yun Zhao picked up the lotus seeds and said, "It's rare that you're so thoughtful."
"No," Deputy General Gao said, completely lacking in emotional intelligence. "Jing Mo wrote to me, saying it was hot and asked you to eat more lotus seeds. You were too lazy to do it yourself, so I peeled them for you since I have nothing to do on weekdays."
Yun Zhao put the lotus seeds in his mouth after hearing this. "The palace pays you a salary every month. Xie Jingmo has to write a letter to remind you about this little thing."
Deputy General Gao chuckled, "I never thought of that."
It's not a difficult thing, I just don't think of doing it.
Yun Zhao pinched the plump lotus seeds in the bowl and paused for a moment before saying, "What else did the letter say?"
