Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 979 The man behind the scenes
Concubine Jade was amused by Lin Jinyan's scoundrel appearance, so she smiled even more and asked the palace maid to bring her some food.

After asking the little prince, I learned that he didn't sleep well last night and was taking a nap after practicing calligraphy.

Lin Jinyan glanced at the food beside her and chatted while playing chess with Concubine Yu. She seemed to accidentally talk about her favorite food, and her bright eyes and bright smile made Concubine Yu talk a lot.

After the little prince woke up, he learned that Lin Jinyan was coming. He grabbed his shoes and ran out. He ran outside the hall, put on his shoes and immediately entered the house:

"Sister Yan! You are really here!"
-
Longevity Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch with her eyes closed, turning the Buddha string in her hand, thinking about what Zheng Cheng had said when she got up in the morning.

Lin Jinyan was just the daughter of a minister. She was worried about the reputation of the Gu family and the Lin family, so she didn't deal with it openly. Since nothing really happened, it was worthy of her son to send Zheng Cheng to speak out.

Chen Momo grew up with the Queen Mother since she was a child, and she knew very well that the Queen Mother was a kind and peaceful person on the outside, but in fact, her heart was the same as His Majesty's, not much bigger than Sesame.

At the birthday banquet, although they knew it was Mo Bei who started the trouble, in the end they took it out on Lin Jinyan.

In addition, four princes proposed to marry at the same time, leaving Lin Jinyan to choose, which made the Queen Mother even more angry and felt that she had lost the royal family's face.

There was nothing wrong between the General's Mansion and the Lin family, so the Queen Mother secretly sent someone to instigate the second young lady of the fourth room of the Cheng family to attack Lin Jinyan.

I thought that since the Cheng family had disappeared for many years, I never suspected that they were going to the Cheng family, but I didn't expect to find out the person so quickly.

It was originally agreed yesterday that she would call Lin Jinyan to talk to her today and then send someone to take her to Wangshu Palace. Because of this incident, the emperor directly assigned this secret work to Concubine Xian. "Because of such a trivial matter, I broke up with my old wife and started to be wary. She is getting old."

Although the Queen Mother's tone was calm, Chen Momo could still hear the anger:
"Don't think too much about it. Your Majesty also needs the General's Mansion to deal with Mobei. Otherwise, how important is a vassal? How could he go beyond you?"

"It seems to be very important. Because the prince was involved, he didn't even believe the queen, so he sent someone to Concubine Xian to deliver it."

Chen Momo heard from Zheng Cheng how Lin Jinyan said she would not join the royal family, and how the Gu family retreated again and again, reporting back one by one.

The Queen Mother's eyes were half-opened when she heard this, and her beads were spinning slower and slower:
"Is that girl really saying that? Is the General's Mansion willing to give up? If the Gu family is really so innocent, how could they find out about Cheng Qi in one night? Ming Yue is someone who has served me, how can he be so easily pried open? This If you act like this, you may have more evil intentions..."

Chen Momo: "Ming Yue was not returned to the palace until she was old enough to get married. She was taught by you to be strict with her words. But her daughter is not a tough nut. The confession sent to the Cheng family was drawn by her daughter."

The Queen Mother put down the Buddha string and picked up the hot tea to drink, but suddenly stopped:
"The Gu family made that girl's head hurt as much as her eyes. Why didn't they report the confession after they got it? Instead, they asked Gu Ruizhou to send her to the Cheng family in person. Could it be that they wanted to sell her well and interact with the Cheng family privately?"

Chen Momo thought and said:
"It is said that the Gu family thought that the Cheng family had been loyal to the late emperor, so they let the Cheng family handle it themselves. As you said, wouldn't it be more appropriate to send a servant to deliver the confession, and then make an appointment to meet outside in private?"

Seeing the Queen Mother drinking tea without saying a word, Chen Momo thought about Zheng Cheng's instructions and smiled:

"Today's imperial examination, your majesty is very busy selecting talents for Tianchu. Otherwise, in accordance with your filial piety, your majesty would have come to talk to you personally."
