The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 178 - The Heartbreaker (2)

"Aijia heard that you have stayed at Weiyang Palace for the past half month, maybe you haven't seen the emperor for a long time." At this time, the Empress Dowager looked gloomy, and there seemed to be something hidden in her sharp eyes.

Xia Lanyue replied indifferently: "The emperor is busy with the battle with Qi, and my concubine dare not disturb him."

The queen mother snorted coldly: "But Ai's family heard that the emperor had an argument with you in Weiyang Palace half a month ago and vomited a big mouthful of blood. Ai's family would like to ask you why the emperor vomited blood!"

Xia Lanyue smiled slightly: "The emperor has strictly ordered you to keep quiet about vomiting blood, but you still have a clear heart. It seems that there are many confidantes of the queen mother in Weiyang Palace."

The queen mother looked at Xia Lanyue who was not quite the same as before, and she couldn't help feeling suspicious, but said: "The Ai family is the emperor's mother, how can he hide everything from Ai's house, fortunately, he vomited blood because of overwork. Otherwise, the Ai family will hold you accountable."

Xia Lanyue knew that the queen mother called her here not just to ask these simple questions, so she stopped answering and just waited for the queen mother to speak.

Seeing that she was silent, the queen mother dimmed her eyes, tapped the table next to her with her fingertips, and said in a low voice: "The Ai family called you here today, and there is one more thing." After a pause, the voice stopped Fierce, vaguely warm: "As you know, Wei and Qi are about to go to war recently, and the emperor entrusted Li Fengyan with the task of commander-in-chief."

"The concubine has heard about it."

"Although Mu Piaoyu handed over the soldier talisman, the Ai family always felt that the soldier talisman was handed over too easily, and they were vaguely worried."

Xia Lanyue suddenly understood: "What does the empress want my concubine to do?"

The queen mother smiled and said: "The emperor always praises you for your quality and heart, so you can go to Wei Guo to find out if Mu Piaoyu has rebellion."

Xia Lanyue's face became more and more cold: "The queen mother has always warned the concubines that the harem should not interfere in politics, so she always kept it in mind, and never dared to disobey the queen for a moment."

The queen mother shook her head: "This time is about the safety of the Wei country, and the Ai family knows that you have a very close relationship with Mu Piaoyu, so you must go to this matter yourself."

Xia Lanyue smiled sarcastically in her heart. It really was mother and son, and they were all tricked out.

The Empress Dowager continued: "If Mu Piaoyu is in chaos at this time, it will definitely shake the morale of the frontline army, and you and Tianyou will also hang by a thread, so this time you must find out Mu Piaoyu's truth."

Xia Lanyue's face was so cold that she smiled faintly: "The concubine understands what the queen mother means."

The queen mother was very satisfied with Xia Lanyue's performance at this moment, so she continued: "You are not at ease going to Ai's house in the general's mansion alone, so let Ju Fang from Ai's palace go with you, so that I can take care of you."

Xia Lanyue, who came out of the palace in plain clothes, was sitting in the carriage, feeling the bumps of the carriage and the lively voices outside the carriage. This time, she could easily leave the palace with the Queen Mother's token. Fang followed closely behind without saying a word, her pair of sharp eyes seemed to see through everything.

Xia Lanyue knew that if she went to the general's mansion this time, if she missed a step, Tianyou's life would be in jeopardy, and Jufang followed closely behind her every step, making her not free. The queen mother, an old fox, used her to tempt Mu Piao Yu, sent Jufang to follow, and took Tianyou as a hostage, really exhausted.

"Master, the general's mansion is here." The coachman's voice came from outside, and the next moment Ju Fang lifted the curtain and helped Xia Lanyue out of the carriage.
