Chapter 243

"The emperor's government affairs are hard, and Ai's family came to see the emperor. This is the ginseng that Korea paid tribute to last year. The emperor originally gave it to Ai's family, so he should keep it for his body." The queen mother said to Mu.

Mu Qingyuan was startled, the Empress Dowager never cared about his diet and daily life, even if caring was superficial, how could she go out of her way today and specially come to see her at night and bring supplements.

"The queen mother can keep it for herself, I'm still young, so I don't need these." Mu Qingyuan didn't ask the eunuch to pick them up.

The empress dowager's eyes turned cold, and she immediately smiled again: "The emperor is still young, and he doesn't know how to take care of it, but he doesn't know that the root cause of the disease comes from his youth."

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand lightly, and Chunyue put the box containing ginseng on the long table beside her.

The queen mother's eyes fell on Jiang Yu again.

"Jiang Meiren, there is no need for you to listen to what the Ai family is talking to the emperor, you can go down." The queen mother said coldly.

Jiang Yu saw that the queen mother was a bit unkind today.

She was about to leave, but she heard Mu Qingyuan say: "Is the Queen Mother here today to chat with me about family affairs? If it is family affairs, Jiang Meiren chats here together, it will be more lively."

The Empress Dowager hesitated for a while before saying: "There is one important matter, which is a routine, but not a routine."

"Since it's a household thing, why not listen to it together, what's the relationship?" Mu Qingyuan smiled lazily.

The Queen Mother thought for a while, and had no choice but to agree: "Then follow the emperor's order."

Mu Qingyuan almost guessed the Queen Mother's intentions, if she hadn't asked for something from herself, how could she have brought ginseng to see him.

The superficial motherly kindness and filial piety are exhausting enough to maintain, and the queen mother rarely comes to see Mu Qingyuan except for the occasions when she has to show her face in public.

Even asking the province of An Ding was completely exempted.

The emperor was not tired, and the queen mother was happy to be at ease.

I'm afraid it won't be a trivial matter to visit so grandly today.

And Mu Qingyuan left Jiang Yu behind because he didn't want to talk about government affairs with the Queen Mother.

Before the queen mother wanted to impose a queen on herself, she had crossed Mu Qingyuan's bottom line.

Mu Qingyuan is willing to respect such a queen mother, but the queen mother is not a mother.

Even a mother cannot impose a queen on herself.

"The emperor has been busy all day, and he didn't have dinner, and the Ai family didn't say much irrelevant things. This time, the Ai family has one thing to ask the emperor." They sat down separately, the little maid served tea, and the queen mother called the waiter After the palace people went down for a while, they said slowly.

"I must put the Empress Dowager's affairs in the first place, and there is no need to ask for it." Mu Qingyuan said flatly.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty first." The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup and put it on the tall table beside her, "Does Your Majesty remember your brother?"

"Brother Emperor? What did the Empress Dowager say?" Mu Qingyuan asked back in surprise.

Although the tone of voice was surprised, Mu Qingyuan was not surprised at all in his heart.

It would be abnormal if the queen mother didn't come to talk to me about this matter.

However, I didn't expect my mother to arrive so early.

"It's your elder brother, Mu Xun." When the queen mother said the last name, her eyes turned red.

"Big Brother...he already..." After Mu Qingyuan said that, his voice became softer.

The queen mother sighed: "Yes. Everyone in the world knows that he has been killed by Ningqiu. Actually, he is not dead."

"I don't know much about what happened back then, but at that time I heard that the elder brother had been killed by the Ningqiu country. Later, Daxia also killed the proton of the Ningqiu country. The two countries were at war. The queen mother said that the first prince I was not killed, I am confused."

"This incident was actually a misunderstanding. Back then, everyone thought that Xun'er had been killed, but in fact he was not dead."

Mu Qingyuan didn't answer, and waited quietly for the Queen Mother to continue.

Seeing that Mu Qingyuan was not willing to take the initiative to bring up the topic, the Queen Mother coughed lightly: "Now that the First Prince is in exile in Ningqiu Country, the Ai family wants to take Xun'er back to Daxia Country. I don't know what the Emperor wants?"

The queen mother went straight to the point without any detours, and Mu Qingyuan had already thought of the answer.

"The Queen Mother and her son are reunited. I am happy for the Queen Mother. How could it not be allowed. Yes."

The queen mother was taken aback, she didn't expect Mu Qingyuan to agree so happily, the large set of arguments she had prepared originally was useless.

But she didn't understand why Mu Qingyuan didn't even ask, and without any hesitation, she directly agreed to her request.

"Does the emperor know what the Ai family is talking about?" The queen mother asked suspiciously.

Mu Qingyuan smiled and said: "The queen mother was joking, of course I heard what the queen mother said clearly. The queen mother said that my elder brother, the queen mother's biological prince, is actually still alive. I don't know where the queen mother found out that he is now in Ningxia. Qiu Guo wants to take him back to Great Xia to reunite with his mother and son. Am I right?"

The queen mother was silent for a while, then Fang said: "The emperor is right."

"It's a good thing, of course I agree. But—"

Jiang Yu had been listening attentively, and when she heard this, she couldn't help turning her eyes to Mu Qingyuan.

Mu Qingyuan caught her gaze, a smile appeared in his eyes, he quickly turned to the Queen Mother, and said indifferently: "There will be no side issues in this matter, right? If there is, the Queen Mother should make it clear now."

The emperor is really shrewd.

The queen mother originally thought that after begging hard, the emperor agreed, and if she mentioned the conditions lightly, he would never go back on what she said.

It seems that the emperor already knew that the main event he was hiding was behind.

That being the case, the queen mother felt that she had nothing to hide.

"There is indeed a small matter that requires the approval of the emperor."

"Please tell the queen mother first, let me listen first, what kind of trivial matter it is." Mu Qingyuan leaned his back on the back of the chair, his thin lips parted slightly.

This matter will definitely not be a small matter.

Mu Qingyuan had a premonition.

First Prince, Ningqiu Kingdom, Empress Dowager, Yin Yan.

There must be some connections among them.

The queen mother has always been selfish and stingy, and everything is based on her own gains and losses. What she wants to say will definitely not be beneficial to him, Mu Qingyuan.

"The emperor has just agreed to let Xun'er return to the country. The Ai family thanked the emperor first. However, Xun'er is not free at this moment and cannot come back immediately." The Queen Mother's brows were covered with sorrow.

"Not free?" Mu Qingyuan repeated.

After a while, a flash of spiritual light flashed across his heart.

He suddenly understood.

The eldest prince Mu Xun, whose alias was Xia Chunqiu, was "kidnapped" by Yin Yan, who represented Ningqiu Kingdom, to the capital of Great Xia Kingdom.

And the reason why Xia Chunqiu is obedient is probably related to Xia Chunqiu's own saying that Mrs. Xia is a distant relative of Yin Yan, and that Mrs. Xia and her son are still in Ningqiu.

Distant relatives may not be true, and the wife and son should not be fake.

If he took his daughter and ran away privately, then Mrs. Xia, mother and son who stayed in Ningqiu would suffer misfortune.

Therefore, Yin Yan took Xia Chunqiu on a trip with confidence and boldness.

As for Xia Mei's disappearance, it was probably just an accident. After all, she was just a seven or eight-year-old girl who didn't know much about the world and couldn't even read words.
