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

Chapter 236 The past is thick, but the color is clear (9)

After about half an hour, Mu Piaoyu arrived at the bedroom. At this time, Xia Lanyue had recovered, but her reddish eyes gave away her current state of mind.

"I don't know why the Queen Mother summoned the ministers here."

At this time, there was no one in private, but Mu Piaoyu still saluted Xia Lanyue, and she was no longer as familiar as usual, her tone was full of alienation.

Xia Lanyue sat quietly in front of the case, looking up at Mu Piaoyu: "The general doesn't know why the Ai family called you here?"

Mu Piaoyu stood quietly in front of her, not saying a word, it seems that what happened in the court today really angered him.

"Does it have to be like this between you and me? The emperor is young and ignorant, can't you back down a few steps?" Xia Lanyue's tone softened, she stood up and pulled Mu Piaoyu to sit down.

Mu Piaoyu half pushed and half sat down, his cold face softened a little, but his eyes were still cold: "It has been a long time since the emperor wanted to take my military power, I forgive him for being young, but now he is doing this in the court hall He didn't give me any face at all, it seems that the emperor's dissatisfaction with me is too great to tolerate me."

He paused, and said with a sneer: "Since the emperor can't tolerate me, then I can't return the military power."

She nodded, knowing what he was thinking, and said, "I understand what you are worried about. In fact, I called you here today because I wanted to show you something." he.

He took it in doubt, and opened it to read the contents of the imperial edict.

While he was reading the edict, Xia Lanyue explained: "Su Chen gave me two wills, one was written before I went to prison, and it has been made public. And this one is Only I know about Su Chen's last edict before his death."

Mu Piaoyu looked at it, his face fluctuated slightly, and asked: "Then what do you mean by taking out this will now?"

"I want to use this edict to exchange your military power."

After Xia Lanyue finished speaking, Mu Piaoyu laughed out loud, put the edict in her hand back on the table heavily, looked at her coldly and said: "Back then you refused to follow the edict to marry me, but now you take it for your son's sake." The purpose of issuing this edict is to seize my military power. It seems that not only the emperor doesn't trust me, but even you don't trust me."

"Li Mei, you and I have known each other for so many years, don't you understand what kind of person I am? Back then, I could give up the country of Wei State for you, how can I regain it now? You take out this edict, and you are right My biggest sarcasm will only make me feel that all my sacrifices these years are so ridiculous." Mu Piaoyu's voice echoed around, every word hit Xia Lanyue's heart deeply.

"I understand everything you do, it's just..."

"You don't understand at all!" Mu Piaoyu interrupted before she finished speaking: "From the beginning to the end, you never believed in me, and you were always on guard and careful, lest one day I would turn against you. But you never thought However, I am willing to kneel before your son and have been a minister for 20 years. I have tolerated everything, but the emperor has pressed me every step of the way. To this day, he actually wants to seize my military power. Are you all worried that I will not delegate power? Do you think I Do you really care about this so-called military power?"

Xia Lanyue no longer defended herself, she just listened to him quietly, every word in his words was sincere and heartfelt.

"I have been gradually delegating power over the years, but can I really devolve power so alone? How can I abandon my relatives who follow me in the court? I can only wait for the emperor to grow up slowly, When he cultivates his own influence in the court step by step, I will be able to truly delegate power and go away. But can the emperor really be able to take care of this country now? Just look at the situation in the court today. Apart from Wang Shuo, who else would dare to agree with you?"
