When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 258 Change of Public Opinion
After explaining, Cheng Muqing looked at the abbot again.

"Abbot, I'd better give you back these talisman papers." With a movement of Cheng Muqing's hand, those talisman papers hit the opponent's face.Cheng Muqing looked surprised, "I'm sorry, the letter girl didn't mean it."

"Ah Choo—Ah Choo—"

"Oh, why are you sneezing, abbot?" Cheng Muqing looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of cunning.

"..."

"By the way, did the abbot just say that I am a fox demon?" Cheng Muqing stared at him and asked.

"No...the villain doesn't dare."

"That's what Ben Gong heard wrong." Cheng Muqing pursed his lips, and said confidently, "You are boasting that Ben Gong is as beautiful as a fox."

"..."

"But it's good to know this kind of thing well, let it spread..." Cheng Muqing shook his head, "It's a sin to be too beautiful~"

"..."

Cheng Muqing walked out of the Buddhist temple, looked at the group of spectators, with a gentle smile on his face, "It's getting late, everyone, go back and rest."

Outside the door, the onlookers left with more than enough satisfaction.

After this incident, all the concubines stopped talking about fox monsters, and said they were shocked and left.

The next day, Empress Dowager Lu returned to the palace with a large army.

At the same time, the direction of civil discourse has changed.

"It is said that the queen is a demon concubine, but in fact that is a rumor deliberately released by the queen mother."

In the small teahouse, Passerby A said excitedly.

"I happened to be in the Buddhist temple that day, and I saw that the abbot identified the queen as a fox demon, and the Queen Mother Lu wanted to set fire to the queen! But who knows, at this moment, the Golden Eagle Guard suddenly appeared and arrested the two people who were pretending to be ghosts behind their backs. As soon as these two people were arrested, they were immediately identified as Nanny Liu, which means that this is a trap set up by the queen mother to kill the queen!"

"It's the Queen Mother's hand to identify Madam Liu." Passer-by B expressed his incomprehension.

"You don't know, when you talk about Nanny Liu, everyone looks at the Queen Mother!" Passerby A excitedly said, "The Queen Mother looks so ugly... Tsk tsk."

A few people were chattering vigorously, and a man wearing a long blue gown suddenly walked in front of them, wearing a curtain on his head.

"What you said, is it true?"

Everyone couldn't see his face clearly, but they felt that his aura was cold and not easy to provoke.

The man who had seen the excitement replied, "I saw it with my own eyes..."

According to word of mouth passed by passers-by that day, a new wave of gossip immediately set off in the capital——

"The queen mother wants to kill the queen!"

"The emperor wants to use this to eradicate the Cheng family!"

"There is no harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world!"

Imperial City, Fengyi Palace.

Hearing the increasingly outrageous rumors these days, Cheng Muqing almost laughed out loud.No matter how outrageous the rumors are, there is nothing wrong with her in it, so You Si led his group of beggars to help her speak.

"The Empress Dowager is really shooting herself in the foot." Jin Xi said.

"No, it's called harming others." Cheng Muqing smiled, "Is the queen mother staying in the palace these days?"

"Yeah." Jin Xi nodded, "Where does her old man dare to come out now?"

"Not only that, but my palace is also safe." Cheng Muqing sighed with emotion.

It is impossible for Queen Mother Lu to continue to harm her.Now there are rumors outside the palace, if anything happens to her, everyone will regard her as a suspect.Empress Dowager Lu will not continue to do things that damage her reputation.

"How is Li Wan recently?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Listen to the report from the spies, and stay at the mansion honestly."

"Is there any news from His Majesty?"

"Hmm..." Jinxi looked troubled.

"That's all." Cheng Muqing stopped asking.

"Your Majesty is protected by a real dragon, and he will return safely." Jin Xi comforted.

Cheng Muqing gave an "um" and stood up while supporting the chair.

"Do you want to go back to bed and rest?"

"No, go to Yong'an Palace." Cheng Muqing let her help him, "Go and see how the mother is doing."

The atmosphere of Yong'an Palace is very dignified, even though the scene is clearly the same as before.

Cheng Muqing stood outside the hall and waited for a while before being called in by Nanny Li.

On the last trip to the Buddhist temple, after she used Nanny Li to successfully pass on the decree, she tied up Nanny Liu and didn't give her a chance to tell the truth.Later, since she was also a victim from Nanny Liu's point of view, she only followed her master's orders.Cheng Muqing canceled her palace registration, gave her some silver taels enough to live her whole life, and sent her back to her hometown.

Cheng Muqing was actually not worried that Nanny Liu would go back to the palace to complain to the Queen Mother.For one thing, she is no longer a member of the palace and cannot enter the imperial city.Second, what did she do when she came back?Tell the Queen Mother that it was Nanny Li who actually rebelled, and then ask the Queen Mother to punish Nanny Li.What about her?In any case, she couldn't escape the matter.Will definitely be punished.

Rather than being thankless, it's better to take money out of the palace in a chic and comfortable way.

The palace was silent and solemn, but the maids standing on both sides were like logs and did not salute her.

Cheng Muqing didn't care too much, and went straight to find Empress Dowager Lu.

The charcoal fire in the hall was burning very vigorously, and a court lady was adding charcoal to it.

Empress Dowager Lu was wearing a brown cloak and was sitting on the rosewood carved arhat bed, holding an incense burner and adding powder with a golden spoon.

"My son, send my mother's greetings." Cheng Muqing leaned slightly.

"The Ai family thought you were not coming back." Empress Dowager Lu lit the incense and covered the incense burner.

Misty cigarette smoke curled up, followed by a refreshing aroma.

"My mother is very skilled." Cheng Muqing said at the right time.

"Are you proud? You tripped Aijia." Queen Mother Lu didn't give her a good face.

"How dare my son?" Cheng Muqing said politely.

"You came to Ai's house, what's the matter?" Queen Mother Lu knew that she would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident, so she simply asked her directly.

"The empress mother and the son-in-law are married because His Majesty loves the son-in-law too much, and it's about Master Lu." Cheng Muqing said, "The former should be understood by the mother-in-law. After all, the best ten years of your majesty were all In Qiguo, you and his mother and son are already separated. The latter... the mother and queen should not understand the cause and effect, right?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Lu didn't respond, Cheng Muqing simply told about the son-changing.

As soon as the matter was finished, Empress Dowager Lu's face became extremely gloomy.

"Lu Ying wouldn't do such a thing. He doesn't have the guts, let alone the brains." Empress Dowager Lu put her hands on the tea table, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

"I know." Cheng Muqing said slowly, "I also asked Golden Eagle Wei Haosheng to take care of Master Lu."

Empress Dowager Lu pursed her lips and remained silent.

"After His Majesty came back and found out the real culprit behind this incident, I ordered the Golden Eagle Guard to release Lord Lu." Cheng Muqing continued, "It's just that Lord Lu can no longer return to the court to be an official."

"Yes." Empress Dowager Lu nodded without any objection.

It would be nice to have a life left.

"My queen, I know that you want to get rid of me." Cheng Muqing stroked his chubby belly, "You are an elder, so I can't do anything to you. It's just that I hope you can stay in Yong'an Palace. The outside world , is not as peaceful as it seems."
