Min Feiyan originally wanted to say something to Mo Qinghuan, but seeing her chatting with Zhao Yiyi, she didn't say anything. After smiling, she left.
As soon as Min Feiyan left, Zhao Yiyi seemed to pour out all her grievances. She grabbed Mo Qinghuan's arm and started to chatter.
"That bitch has been making the general very happy recently. The general hasn't come to my place for several days..."
This was something Mo Qinghuan didn't expect. She didn't think that Ning Shouzhang would change his mind so quickly. He had seemed so aloof a few days ago, looking down on women like Mo Yao who were so promiscuous.
It had only been a few days... Sure enough, all men were the same.
Just as she was sighing, Zhao Yiyi tugged at her sleeve again. "What do you think I should do? Teach me a few tricks, okay?"
Mo Qinghuan burst out laughing. "Teach you? I'm afraid to teach even if you're brave enough to learn!"
Zhao Yiyi was puzzled. Looking into her eyes, she asked, "Why?"
Mo Qinghuan's smile deepened. "Come on, you've been so busy dealing with the concubine that you don't even know the hottest topic in the capital recently?"
Zhao Yiyi pinched her chin and thought for a long time. Finally, she managed to recall something about the recent hot topic.
Then she widened her eyes and looked at Mo Qinghuan. She searched around for Mu Yanming's figure and sure enough, she saw a graceful woman beside him.
"Is the Regent really going to marry her?"
Mo Qinghuan restrained her smile and pretended to be sad. "Yes, as true as gold."
Zhao Yiyi gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, scolding that men were indeed all the same.
After Mo Qinghuan pretended to be sad, Mu Yanming walked over.
But A Tahuan was still beside him. So when the three of them stood together, Mo Qinghuan always felt something was off. It made her can't help but sigh that if they had to live together in the future, it would be better if one of them died...
The situation was still awkward, so Mo Qinghuan pulled Zhao Yiyi to salute Mu Yanming. Then they found an excuse and went outside the hall to get some fresh air.
Outside the hall, they found a rockery and sat back to back in a hidden place to have a heart - to - heart talk.
She really gave Zhao Yiyi an idea. "Men always like freshness and have a strong sense of protection. So Mo Yao took advantage of this and was able to bewitch... Oh no, deceive all kinds of men."
Zhao Yiyi nodded half - understandingly. Mo Qinghuan leaned over and whispered some more in - depth issues into her ear. Zhao Yiyi blushed to the roots of her hair and finally punched her.
Mo Qinghuan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. "I'm serious. What are you shy about? You're husband and wife. If you always act so reserved, of course he'll prefer a woman like Mo Yao who can always arouse men's desires."
"You seem to know so much. Then why did the Regent find someone else..." She spoke bluntly. But after she said it, she was afraid that Mo Qinghuan would be angry. She timidly looked up at her.
Seeing her cautious look, Mo Qinghuan laughed even louder. "Well, haven't you, the general's wife, heard the saying that there's always someone better?"
The two chatted for a while longer when Dan'er came looking for them.
"Your Highness the Princess Consort, someone from the Empress Dowager's side has come to invite you."
Mo Qinghuan got up, patted her buttocks, and said to Zhao Yiyi, "You go in first."
Then she rushed towards the central palace. The moment she lifted her skirt and stepped into the central palace, she suddenly felt that the whole palace seemed to be shrouded in a haze.
Sure enough, as soon as she walked into the main hall, she saw the Empress with a gloomy face and her personal maid standing beside her.
She was puzzled, but she still had to perform the proper etiquette. Kneeling and saluting were essential.
However, as soon as she bent her knees, the Empress walked over and supported her. "Princess Consort of the Regent, I have an important matter that I need your help with."
She winked at the maid beside her. The maid dismissed everyone and even followed them out and closed the door.
Dan'er was also left outside the hall.
In the whole main hall, only Mo Qinghuan and the Empress were left.
The Empress pulled Mo Qinghuan to sit down.
Mo Qinghuan somehow felt that it must not be a good thing. Otherwise, the Empress wouldn't have been so cautious to have a private conversation.
Sure enough, as soon as the Empress whispered her purpose into her ear, Mo Qinghuan was shocked and stood up. She knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty the Empress, this must not be done!"
Seeing that she seemed unwilling to help, the Empress could understand. After all, the relationship between the Emperor and the Regent was so delicate. If it was involved in the matter of harming the imperial heir, it would be difficult to handle.
She was really dizzy with anxiety when she heard that Concubine Li was pregnant.
She didn't know what Mo Qinghuan was secretly thinking about her being a stupid Empress at this moment.
Thinking like this, she stepped forward and helped Mo Qinghuan up.
Mo Qinghuan pretended to be extremely terrified, which made the Empress chuckle.
"Your Majesty the Empress, the eldest and second princes are already adults. The child in Concubine Li's belly shouldn't be able to achieve much, right?"
The Empress helplessly shook her head. No one could be sure about such things. After all, everything was possible before the succession to the throne was determined. She couldn't take this risk!
But now in her panic, she had found the wrong person. If Concubine Li's child miscarried in the future, Mo Qinghuan would surely know that it was her doing. And if Mo Qinghuan knew, it would be the same as the Regent knowing. So she had just given a handle to others.
"Qinghuan, you're right. It's my lack of vision."
Until she left the central palace, Mo Qinghuan couldn't figure out what the Empress's intention was. Before, she had a good impression of the Empress, but Min Feiyan had changed her view a little.
But today, just judging from this matter, one could see that the Empress was ruthless. She didn't know how many of the Emperor's heirs the Empress had killed over the years.
But thinking carefully, she felt that the Empress's move was too stupid. With her current identity, it was impossible for her to help.
The Empress had been sitting on the throne for many years. She couldn't not understand this truth. But why on earth did she do this!!!
She thought for a long time until her head hurt, but she still couldn't figure it out.
Finally, she simply stopped thinking. After returning to Bibo Hall, she sat down in front of the Regent's low table.
At this time, tea, wine, snacks, and fruits were already on the table.
However, there was no date - paste cake, so she didn't get very interested.
"Your Highness, I heard that the winter banquet will last from noon until night, and there will be talent shows during the banquet."
Mo Qinghuan knew that this must be something she had eavesdropped on. She thought it was funny. They were probably the only master - servant pair who were doing their homework only after they came.
Dan'er poured her a cup of tea. She gently skimmed the tea leaves on top and took a sip.
"Well, this tea is good. Dan'er, you try it."
Dan'er waved her hand with a smile. Mo Qinghuan picked up the cup and pretended to feed her. Suddenly, she heard a commotion and then hurried footsteps.
She stood up and went out to check. When she passed by several ladies, she finally understood what had happened.
Concubine Li had miscarried!!!
She looked stunned. How could this happen!!!
