The Queen's heart tightened, but she was the Lord of the Sixth Palace after all, so how could she be easily frightened by Gu Mohan.

"It's shameless to say that, do you think you are still the most favored prince now? If it weren't for the fact that you were engaged to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there would be so many ministers on your side in the court."

"Now that you have been severely punished by the emperor, your engagement with the Prime Minister's Palace has been cancelled, and you have also defiled your uncle's wife. With all these crimes added up, no one will be on your side anymore, and only the Queen Mother is left to protect you. .”

Gu Mohan didn't even raise his eyelids and said indifferently, "Is that so? I would like to advise the queen not to speak too loudly, so as not to hurt her face."

The queen thought he was panicking, so she couldn't find an excuse to refute, and the smugness in her eyes became even greater.

"Stop pretending to be like me. How can a bitch like you deserve to be compared with my royal son? Maybe by then, you will die without even knowing it!"

Qin Yinyuan is a lunatic. Stealing his woman is like pulling a tooth out of the tiger's mouth. It will only be a matter of time before they turn against each other.

After that, she raised her head high and turned away arrogantly.

Gu Mohan ignored it and touched the token Nan Wanyan gave him in his arms. His eyes gradually became deep and condensed.

Wan Yan, you must wait for me...

As soon as the Queen left, the Queen Mother and Aunt Zhu came back.

The Queen Mother motioned to Nanny Zhu to wait outside the palace, and she sat down by the bed, "Xiaojiu, what did the Queen just say to you?"

Gu Mohan shook his head, with a calm expression on his face, "The mother didn't say anything to her grandson, she just chatted for a few words and then left. Has Grandma Huang found the medicine bottle?"

The Queen Mother probably guessed something, but Gu Mohan didn't say anything, and she didn't ask any more questions. She shook her head and said, "Neither the Ai family nor Aunt Zhu saw any medicine bottles. You said that just now to express your condolences on purpose." Let’s go home?”

Gu Mohan didn't deny it and just replied, "Maybe my grandson remembered it wrong. It doesn't matter. My grandson just doesn't want to see the emperor's grandmother getting angry over trivial things."

The Queen Mother looked at him reproachfully, "Okay, the Ai family knows that you are filial. Now you are still hurt, so you should rest early."

She stood up to leave. Gu Mohan's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Grandma Huang, wait a minute. My grandson has something else to do. I want to ask Grandma Huang for help."

The Queen Mother looked back at him, thinking of something, her face became more serious, "If it's about Miss Meng, then the Ai family can't help you."

"The emperor is angry now. The more you confront him, the easier it will be to irritate him. Don't do anything for the next few days. Wait until his anger subsides. Don't worry, the Aijia will definitely help you when the time comes. "

Gu Mohan shook his head, his clear eyes revealing some deep meaning, "Grandma Huang has misunderstood. What the grandson said is not this."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother blinked and became even more confused, "If it's not for Miss Meng, then why?"

Gu Mohan tightened his grip on the object in his palm, clasped his thin lips and said slowly, "My grandson wants to ask the emperor's grandmother to spread the word about today's events. It is best to make it known to everyone in the capital, both common people and officials." .”

Spread the word about today’s events?

The Queen Mother opened her mouth slightly and frowned, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"This is a family scandal, a major matter that brings shame to the royal family. It will make people think that you are shameless and deliberately tainted your uncle's wife. Moreover, your father will definitely be furious if he finds out."

Gu Mohan insisted on going his own way, and his deep eyes looked extremely determined in the moonlight, "It doesn't matter what the world thinks of me. I just hope that the imperial grandmother can help my grandson this time."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said, "Are you really going to do this?"

Gu Mohan nodded without hesitation, "I have made up my mind. Even if the imperial grandmother does not help my grandson, my grandson will find another way."

Only if Nan Wanyan is completely named in his name will the Fourth Emperor's uncle not act rashly.

Otherwise, he is now trapped in the palace, fearing that Qin Yinyuan will take the opportunity to rob Nan Wanyan, or that his father will be in a bad mood one day and directly punish Nan Wanyan.

He didn't want her to make the slightest mistake again, and she couldn't be in a situation beyond her reach.

Seeing Gu Mohan's insistence, the Queen Mother could only sigh and agree, "Okay, the Ai family knows."

"The Aijia will let someone take care of this matter, so don't think too much about it. Recuperate well and don't leave the root cause of the disease."

Gu Mohan looked at the Queen Mother gratefully, clasping his hands in front of his chest, "My grandson knows, thank you very much for your help."

The Queen Mother said nothing more and turned to leave.

This night, the moonlight in the capital seemed bleaker than usual, brewing the calm before the storm.

The next morning, the streets and alleys of the capital were abuzz with excitement, and everyone was talking about the shocking news that broke out last night.

"Have you heard that the Ninth Prince and King Chonglin's fiancée are in love?"

"King Chonglin likes the Taifu's daughter, but the Taifu's daughter has a mutual friendship with the Ninth Prince. Isn't this a mess?" Passers-by in the teahouse and wine shop were discussing animatedly. Gradually, the opinions became more and more popular. More and more, someone suddenly made a sound at this time.

"But I heard that because of this incident yesterday, the Ninth Prince was severely punished by the emperor and suffered severe injuries. Meng Qianqian was also imprisoned. It is said that the situation was tragic at that time. Both of them would rather die than surrender and insisted on begging. Your Majesty makes it happen."

"How could this happen? By doing this, wouldn't it mean that the emperor has torn people apart?"

"Yes, the key point is that after King Chonglin learned about this, he was still unwilling to break off the engagement and still insisted on marrying Meng Qianqian. Although Meng Qianqian was a promiscuous person and the Ninth Prince did feel sorry for King Chonglin first, but no matter what, the two of them yesterday Show that you really love each other, and if that doesn't work, then let's stay together."

Hearing this, someone echoed, "I think it's okay. Since King Chonglin has a distinguished status, the most important thing he needs is money and women. Why does he need such a woman?"

"Yeah, why can't we just beat each other up and satisfy them, get the best of both worlds?"

The influence of public opinion is far beyond everyone's imagination. There are different opinions, and the matter is also spread to the palace.

At that time, it was time to go to court, and all the civil and military officials gathered in the palace.

Qin Xiao hadn't arrived yet, so everyone took this opportunity to whisper among themselves. Many courtiers looked at the prime minister in unison and talked in low voices.

"Prime Minister Jiang and the Queen seemed to have put a lot of effort into the Ninth Prince's matter yesterday."

Someone sneered, and the implication was beyond words, "More than just contributing, Prime Minister Jiang can be said to have added fuel to the flames, forcing the Ninth Prince to a dead end."

"Prime Minister Jiang's move is not to avenge private revenge..."

Prime Minister Jiang listened attentively in the crowd, with a gloomy face and clenched the wat tablet in his hand.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

It was clear that he and the queen had the upper hand yesterday, but overnight, rumors spread all over the city, and they became the initiators of a small belly that could not tolerate a lover.

It's really scary!

The people around him talked about it, but no one dared to criticize loudly and could only discuss it cautiously. At this time, Eunuch Wu announced loudly in front of the palace, "The Emperor has arrived——"

There was a moment of silence in the main hall. Everyone straightened their clothes, straightened their official hats, and clasped their fists respectfully, "Your Majesty, please welcome the Emperor——"

Qin Xiao sat down on the dragon chair resolutely and looked at the ministers indifferently, "Get down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood still, and Prime Minister Zuo suddenly walked out of the queue, "Your Majesty, the flooding in Licheng has been controlled before, but local officials said that the court still needs to allocate another 10 taels for repairs."

Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes, his tone clearly displeased, "These corrupt officials! The money from the imperial court is distributed in batches, but they don't do anything practical at all, just waiting for me to support them?"

Everyone obviously felt that the air was much colder, and the Prime Minister Zuo quickly lowered his head, "This..."

"Hmph." Qin Xiao snorted coldly, with a cold look in his eyes, "Pass this order, if anyone enriches themselves in the name of disaster relief in the future, there is no need to report it, they will be executed!"

"Yes!" The ministers responded tremblingly. For some reason, they noticed that Qin Xiao was in a very bad mood today.

I just hope there won't be any bad news later.

Several more officials came forward to report. Qin Xiao finished replying impatiently and glanced at the others, "If there is anything else to report, hurry up!"

In this posture, whoever dared to say more than a few words shook their heads to indicate that nothing was wrong.

But just when everyone thought they could be relieved, an urgent voice came from in front of the palace door, "Report——"

A soldier hurriedly entered the palace with a bamboo slip in his hand, staggered and knelt on the ground, sweating, "Come forward, urgent report of the war ahead!"

Urgent report of war?

One person smiled and said, "The prince must have won the battle, and I can't wait to share the joy with the emperor!"

"That's right, the prince is wise and powerful, and he will definitely be able to return to the court soon!"

What happened to Gu Mohan yesterday, no one dared to look at him anymore, and all started to flatter Qin Yiran at this moment.

Qin Xiao frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

"Say, what's the urgent report!"

The soldier gasped for breath, and then said hastily, "Report to the emperor, the prince, the prince was captured by the Nishino army, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Moreover, Nishino's army is heading north all the way, with overwhelming momentum——" (End of this chapter)
