Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 288 Break ([-])

Su Lingxi's matter caused a stir in the capital, and finally spread to Yanfu Palace.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her eyes turned black with anger, and she summoned Duke Yu overnight.

Unsurprisingly, Su Yuming was scolded all over his face, but he was afraid of making the Queen Mother angry, so he didn't dare to talk back this time, and only followed the Queen Mother to reassure her.

The queen mother knew that Su Lingxi had left, and it was impossible to bring her back, not to mention her reputation had been completely ruined, keeping her in the capital would only embarrass the Su family.In the end, I still gave up on Su Lingxi.

Su Yuming saw that the queen mother had softened her attitude towards this matter, so she decided to strike while the iron was hot, and talk about getting Mu Xiaoxiao to recognize her ancestor and return to her clan.

Originally, he also thought that Mu Xiaoxiao's identity was inappropriate, but now that Su Lingxi is gone, he has no children under his knees, and he has a second and third wife watching over him.Even though Mu Xiaoxiao was in a brothel, she was still better than Su Lingxi.

But just as Su Yuming said a word, a teacup flew towards him.

The queen mother tightly grasped the edge of the bed, almost on the verge of fury: "If you dare to mention Mu Xiaoxiao again, the Ai family will be without you as a younger brother!"

Su Yuming's heart rose to his throat, fortunately he was able to dodge quickly, otherwise his head would explode!

After hearing this, he didn't dare to say anything more, he just bowed down and left Yanfu Palace.

After he left, the queen mother let out a deep breath and lay powerlessly on the bed, her whole body seemed to be drained of energy in an instant.

She looked at the blue tent, and murmured: "I never thought that the Ai family had worked hard for many years, but in the end it was destroyed by Su Lingxi."

Nanny Gui tucked the quilt for her, and said distressedly: "You have done enough for the Su family, it's no wonder you are the cousin girl who has come to this day, who would have thought that she would harm the aunt at such a young age."

Now, no one in Beijing knows about Su Lingxi's evil deeds, and there are even more reports in the court hall about participating in the Duke of Yu's reign.I thought that Mu Xiaoxiao was enough to cause headaches, but who would have thought that Su Lingxi was the one who would make people worry the least.

The queen mother was upset when she thought of Su Lingxi, and said: "She thinks she is smart and wants to plot against everyone, but in the end she was caught by others? Over the years, the Ai family has covered up many things for her, but she still does not know how to repent. ! Just like her father."

Nanny Gui persuaded: "Queen Dowager, calm down, although the Duke of the Kingdom is sometimes confused, but fortunately, you have been reminding me, these years have been considered stable. The servant looked at the Duke of the country and did not dare to talk back to you just now. , I think I respect you."

The queen mother snorted coldly: "If he had understood, he wouldn't have run away, causing Xue's family to die in battle, and then begged Ai's family to clean up the mess for him!"

"What happened to the Xue family." Nanny Gui sighed softly, "It's indeed the Duke's fault. If it wasn't for him, the Eldest Princess wouldn't be drinking and depressed all day long."

Speaking of Fu Yunchuo, the queen mother still felt a little guilty, and it was precisely because of this that she turned a blind eye to the staff in the princess' mansion.

The queen mother slowly closed her eyes, and said: "The Ai family has done so much, but it still can't prevent the Su family from going down. Tell me, what should the Ai family do to make it happen."

At this time, a voice from the palace people greeted him suddenly from outside the hall: "His Royal Highness, are you here to see the Empress Dowager?"

Hearing the words "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess", the Queen Mother woke up instantly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Fu Yunchuo with a gloomy face walking towards her slowly.

Nanny Gui's heart skipped a beat, her legs went limp, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud, with a hint of tremor in her old voice: "This old slave sees His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

The queen mother propped herself up and sat up, twitching the corners of her mouth stiffly: "It's so late, why don't you go back?"

Fu Yunchuo approached the bed, looked down at the Empress Dowager from a high position, and said: "I heard that the Empress Mother called my uncle into the palace, and I was worried that you would quarrel with my uncle, so I rushed over to have a look."

Her voice was extremely calm, so calm that it made people tremble.

The Empress Dowager didn't know how long Fu Yunchuo had been standing outside, and how much she had listened to their conversation, so she avoided her sight with a guilty conscience, and said, "It's okay to mourn the family, it's getting late, you should go back earlier."

Fu Yunchuo watched her quietly, and suddenly curled his lips: "I have one more thing I want to ask my mother."

The queen mother's heart skipped a beat, and when she met her cold eyes, a layer of cold sweat appeared on her back inexplicably, and said unnaturally: "Ai's family is not feeling well today, what's the matter, let's talk about it later."

"Is the queen mother afraid?" Fu Yunchuo sneered, "Are you afraid that your ministers will question you about the Xue family, or are you afraid that the ghosts of the Sunset Valley will come to your door in the middle of the night?"

"Presumptuous!" The queen mother yelled angrily, pointing at Fu Yunchuo tremblingly, "You, how dare you contradict Aijia?!"

Fu Yunchuo smiled desolately, and took a few steps back, as if he was talking to himself: "When Qingshan went to war with his father, I let him go despite everything, but he never came back. Then In the First World War, the whole family of the Xue family died in battle, the entire Longchuan Guard army was wiped out, and my uncle was also seriously injured. I thought that the reason why this battle was lost was because of Duke An's corruption and embezzlement of food and grass, so that the Xue family died In the Sunset Valley."

But all this was just what she thought.

She thought An Guogong was the murderer of the Xue family, so she agreed to the marriage, and then personally killed An Guogong and his son on the wedding night, sending the entire An Guogong mansion to hell.

She also thought that she had avenged the Xue family
However, the facts told her that it was not An Guogong who killed the Xue family, but her own uncle, and her queen mother was an accomplice.

Fu Yunchuo laughed softly, with tears in his eyes: "Mother, do you know how I have come here all these years?"

The queen mother was a little at a loss, and she covered it up in a panic: "The Ai family knows that you can't let Xue Qingshan go, but he is already dead, why do you have to worry about the past?"

"That's right," she chuckled with tears in her eyes, "He's already dead. Uncle killed him, the Xue family, and the five thousand soldiers of Longchuan Guard!"

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother sternly yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? What happened back then was clearly caused by Mr. An, and has nothing to do with your uncle!"

Fu Yunchuo's smile became more and more sad, and the last ray of hope in his heart was drowned out by the queen mother's words, and he said in a painful voice: "Until now, you still protect him and the Su family!"

"Don't forget, you are Dayan's queen mother, not the eldest daughter of the Su family!"

"In order to protect the Su family, you blamed this matter on An Guogong. You watched me kill An Guogong and his son, but then you pretended to comfort me afterwards? Mother, before you did this, did you think that I was yours? Daughter?!"

The queen mother lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and roared angrily: "It is precisely because Ai's family is Dayan's queen mother that she chose to sacrifice Xue's family! If the Su family collapses, your brother will have nothing to rely on! Not to mention those vassal kings, Just a Fu Mingjue is enough to make people afraid!"

"How can a mere Xue family compare to your brother's throne?!"
