Chapter 299: Eight Hundred Miles Express
Fu Hai subconsciously took a step back in fear.
And this reaction was seen by Mu Chengyan.
His facial expression didn't change at all.
Yun Zhao stepped forward without hesitation.
The pavilion was open, and Mu Chengyan stood up. "I came back earlier than usual today."
Yun Zhao nodded, "Today there are not as many things as before."
Mu Chengyan smiled and said, "I thought you didn't want to come back because of me."
Yun Zhao was tired of the temptation.
But he didn't show it on his face.
"How could that be," Yun Zhao said, "As long as you don't mind this place." This was also the truth.
She always treats people with sincerity.
She was grateful that Mucheng Yan gave her a place to live after her parents passed away.
With this, she can let go of the past.
That night.
Yun Zhao was reading a memorial when Mu Chengyan walked in and said softly, "Zhao Zhao, you said during the day that you would send me off if I left, but if I wanted to stay, you would be happy too, right?"
Yun Zhao raised his head and looked at him, "Yeah."
Mu Chengyan smiled and said, "Well, then I want to tell you that I want to stay, stay in this capital to accompany you. I have missed you once, and I don't want to miss you a second time."
Hearing this, Yun Zhao subconsciously replied, "People should move forward. The past is the past."
Mu Chengyan's smile widened. "Really? So, Xie Jingmo, you've completely let it go, too?"
This is another layer of temptation.
Yun Zhao felt a headache. Facing Mu Chengyan's approaching gaze, she closed her eyes and said, "We are discussing you now, aren't we?"
"Really?" Mu Chengyan said, "I thought we were discussing whether those in the past could have a chance to be forgiven." Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao, "I thought Xie Jingmo and I should have the same chance."
Yun Zhao dealt with ministers during the day, and she sincerely hoped that she would not have to be so tired in this palace that belonged to her.
She suddenly agreed very much with what Xie Jingmo said.
"This Queen Mother's palace should be a place to rest and let go of all worries."
But now, Mu Chengyan's questioning made her feel very troubled.
She closed her eyes, about to tell the truth, but Mu Chengyan was already laughing. "Just kidding. By the way, how are you going to handle Yu Xiang's matter? It's a big deal."
Yun Zhao felt powerless.
She said, "There are no further plans for the time being." Yun Zhao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Mu Chengyan's face turned cold when he said this.
But soon, he returned to his usual smiling face.
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll be out first."
Yun Zhao nodded.
The next day.
In the imperial study, Yun Zhao made careful arrangements for Yu Xiang's future plans.
Fu Hai was waiting outside.
When Fu Hai saw Mu Chengyan coming from afar, he prepared to go in and report to Yun Zhao.
Mu Chengyan smiled and said, "No need, she is busy, it's the same if I wait outside."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hai deliberately pricked up his ears to listen. The sound inside was faint and it was impossible to hear it unless one had extremely strong hearing.
Fu Hai lowered his head, and when he looked up, he subconsciously looked at Mu Chengyan, but found that the latter's face once again showed the same cold expression.
only.
This time, this expression stayed on Mu Chengyan's face for a long time.
So much so that Fu Hai was sure that he clearly saw the coldness on Mu Chengyan's face.
When Yun Zhao came out, he saw Fu Hai standing at the door with a dazed look on his face.
Yun Zhao called him twice before Fu Hai slowly came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
"Queen Mother, Mu Chengyan just arrived."
Yun Zhao's brows suddenly tightened, "When did you come?"
"I've been standing at the door for half an hour. I wanted to go in and tell you, but the Regent said no," Fu Hai raised the lotus seed soup in his hand. "Then, the Regent said he had something else to do, so he left first."
Fu Hai felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Yun Zhao looked at his dejected face and said, "I understand. It's okay."
Fu Hai followed Yun Zhao. "I stood at the door and listened carefully. I couldn't make out the sounds inside clearly. But after the Regent left, I started to think something was wrong. I couldn't hear anything. The Regent knows martial arts. Do people who practice martial arts have better hearing than ordinary people?"
Fu Hai hoped to hear a rejection from Yun Zhao.
But Yun Zhao said calmly: "It has already happened, don't think about it."
Fu Hai's face became even uglier.
Yun Zhao was indeed discussing the matter of Yu Xiang with the ministers inside.
But Yun Zhao just told Mu Chengyan yesterday that there was no progress.
Yun Zhao did not pursue the previous portrait incident, but he still had a deeper understanding of Mu Chengyan in his heart.
Because of this incident, Fu Hai blamed himself to the extreme.
The whole person is wilted.
I felt that I had ruined Yun Zhao's plan.
When Deputy Gao came, Fu Hai told him about this.
Deputy General Gao is usually not serious, but he is very cautious in serious matters.
"Deputy General Gao, tell me, can the Regent really hear the Queen Mother speaking inside?"
Deputy General Gao said, "I'll give it a try, roughly how loud it is."
Fu Hai immediately stepped back a few steps, listened, stepped back a few steps, listened, and stepped back again—
"Deputy General Gao, right now, listen to the volume inside. Can you hear what the Queen Mother is saying to the Regent?"
Fu Hai looked at Deputy General Gao.
Deputy General Gao stood there for a few seconds.
He turned to look at Fu Hai.
The two gazed at each other in the moonlight.
Next second.
Fu Hai's face fell, "You can hear it, right?"
Deputy General Gao nodded honestly, "That's very clear.
Fu Hai's face immediately fell even more. "But didn't Yun Zhao say it was all right? Besides, Mu Chengyan wouldn't do anything to harm Yun Zhao." Seeing Fu Hai's deep guilt, Vice Admiral Gao tried to persuade him. "Besides, it wouldn't benefit the Regent to ruin this. Besides, didn't we tell Yun Zhao about this? She'll have a solution."
This is what Deputy General Gao said.
After the Regent returned to the house, he still went to find Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao said, "Didn't you say that too? It won't benefit Mu Chengyan if we ruin this."
Fu Hai's eyes suddenly widened.
This is what they said outside, how did Yun Zhao hear it?
That means the Regent also heard their conversation outside.
Deputy General Gao looked at Yun Zhao and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Yun Zhao drank the tea in the cup and nodded lightly, "I still want to believe him."
When the two of them walked out of Yun Zhao's place, Fu Hai felt very nervous.
He turned to Deputy General Gao and said, "The Queen Mother has always been loyal to the city, but this cannot be done this way. Deputy General Gao, I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please help me take a letter to General Xie?"
Deputy General Gao: "Jing Mo?"
Deputy General Gao nodded frantically.
He didn't know why. He always thought of the smile on Mu Chengyan's face, and he felt very uneasy.
He wants to write a letter to Xie Jingmo.
Although he didn't know why he suddenly thought so.
It is obvious that Xie Jingmo is far away from the emperor and cannot protect himself.
But he still wanted to write.
That night.
An urgent letter, sent by an express horse with a speed of 800 miles, sped away from Chang'an!
