Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

The Queen Mother Zhu was furious and her voice echoed in the hall.

Yuan Chen's face turned pale and his thin lips parted slightly, but he didn't know how to explain it. He only murmured, "Mother..."

"If you still recognize me as your queen mother, don't think about the trouble in Yongchenghou's Mansion anymore!" Queen Mother Zhu turned her back angrily, unwilling to look at him again.

Yuan Chen lowered his head slightly and couldn't see his expression clearly, "My son didn't mean to cause trouble for them."

"You didn't mean to," the Queen Mother Zhu turned around and looked at him steadily, her eyes full of anger, "but you deliberately protected the bad guys and allowed them to frame good ministers. What's the difference between a co-conspirator and the mastermind?"

Yuan Chen felt guilty and moved his head away, a trace of guilt flashing across his face, "My son is just worried about them..."

"Worried that they will take credit for themselves and have ulterior motives?" Queen Mother Zhu interrupted him and sighed, "Chen'er, you can't be a man without conscience. You can sit on the dragon throne because all the families worked together to lift you up. "

"Xie Li from the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is an official in the court and has a close relationship with you. Song Yatou is his wife, and Brother Yan is also the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion. Now that you have betrayed your trust, even if you are the mother, you can't stand it."

Queen Mother Zhu felt tired, raised her eyebrows, and whispered, "Mrs. Marquis Yongcheng has always been thoughtful and intelligent. She had already guessed that you were behind what happened today. Without your acquiescence, how could those people Dare you be so arrogant?"

Yuan Chen's heart sank and he did not open his mouth to argue.

"Chen'er, Queen Mother doesn't want to see you blinded by power. I still remember the day you seized power, you stood in front of Queen Mother and swore that you would be a wise king in the future." Queen Mother Zhu looked at him and her face softened, "That's right. A wise king should treat his loyal ministers well."

"General Song died because of your Majesty's suspicion, and now it's Girl Song's turn..." The Queen Mother Zhu paused, a flash of regret flashed in her eyes, "Chen'er, the Queen Mother only advises you to wake up as soon as possible, and don't lead to a big disaster. wrong."

Yuan Chen closed his eyes, frowned, and said helplessly, "My father once taught his son that he must suppress his heroes so that they won't have any rebellious intentions."

"So he died in the hands of a loyal minister's widow." Queen Mother Zhu spoke directly and said in a cold voice, "You know better than my mother whether he is a wise king when he eats with a bowl and puts the bowl down to scold his mother."

"Chen'er, if you insist on following the example of your father, the Queen Mother doesn't want to persuade you anymore. She just doesn't need to pay her respects in the future."

Yuan Chen raised his head suddenly, his pupils shaking.

This is to draw a clear line with him...

Queen Mother Zhu turned away and stopped looking at him, her originally straight back also bent.

Yuan Chen was silent for a long time, then whispered, "Mother... my son knows his mistake..."

Queen Mother Zhu sighed softly and waved towards him, "Please step back first, I'm a little tired."

Yuan Chen opened his mouth, still wanting to say something, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the dark green eyes of Queen Mother Zhu, but the words on his lips were not uttered after all.

The sound of the door closing sounded in her ears. Queen Mother Zhu raised her eyes and looked at the empty hall, feeling sad and boring.

"Queen Mother, please take care of yourself..." Lin Sheng came closer, his eyes concerned.

Empress Dowager Zhu nodded, her face looking tired and her voice weak, "Lin Sheng, go collect some things from the warehouse and send them to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion as my apology."

"This..." Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "Queen Mother, are we too indulgent of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?"

"Chen'er is confused right now. The Yongcheng Hou Mansion is a home of meritorious officials. Now that he has been wronged, he should apologize. This is what they deserve." A gloomy look flashed between Queen Mother Zhu's eyebrows, and she lowered her voice. He said, "I hope Xiao Xumo will take it to heart."

Lin Sheng also realized the importance of the matter and quickly responded, "Yes, I will do it now."

Outside the window, the crescent moon is like a hook, the stars are dotted, and it is silent.

The man stood in front of the window, and the breeze blew through his clothes, bringing a little chill. The man raised his eyes and looked at the moonlight above, which was like a distant mountain. Not long after, a sea turtle broke into the man's sight, circled twice in front of the window, fluttered its wings twice and landed on the window.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, untied the mailbox tied to the bird's leg, and slowly opened the letter.

There is only one line in the letter, which is concise and concise: Zhuo Wenhou and his wife Zhen drowned.

A smile appeared on the man's lips, he put the letter on the candle and lit it, watching it turn into ashes with his own eyes.

"Brother Shen, look, there's still light in your place, but you're not asleep yet?"

There was a voice outside the door. Shen Ji's eyes flashed. He walked over and opened the door. He looked at Lu Qingfeng in front of him and said warmly, "Brother Lu, is there something wrong?"

Lu Qingfeng smiled apologetically and whispered, "There is indeed something."

Shen Ji turned sideways to make way for him, with a warm smile on his lips, "Come into the room."

Lu Qingfeng was not polite to him, walked into the room, sat down on the stool consciously, took out a booklet and handed it to Shen Ji, "Brother Shen, take a look."

A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Ji's eyes. He raised his hand to take the booklet and looked at it carefully. The further down he looked, the sharper his eyes became, "This is not the one from Prince Zhan before..."

"Yes, the people above were all subordinates of Prince Zhan." Lu Qingfeng nodded, with a solemn expression, "Brother Shen, do you still remember that the emperor gave us a list before leaving? The names of the people above are related to this booklet Most of them overlap.”

Shen Ji chuckled, casually flipping through the book in his hand, and said in a calm tone, "It's strange that these people followed the King of War first, and then the Duke of Qi. Now they have the guts to deal with these moths even though the trees have fallen and the hozens have scattered."

"Brother Yi Shen, let's see what we should do..."

"gentlemen!"

Before Lu Qingfeng finished speaking, Wen Mo pushed open the door and rushed in front of the two of them.

Shen Ji felt embarrassed and glared at him, then smiled at Lu Qingfeng and whispered, "My little boy is spoiled and has no rules. Please forgive me, Brother Lu."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand and responded with a smile, "It doesn't matter."

Shen Ji breathed a sigh of relief and turned to stare at Wen Mo. His voice came out from between his teeth, "You'd better be fine."

Wen Mo nodded heavily, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and placed it in front of Shen Ji, "Sir, look, the Yongcheng Hou Mansion was searched, and almost everyone was arrested!"

Shen Ji's face darkened and he hurriedly took the letter and looked at it carefully. His fingertips were still trembling.

"What happened to the Hou Mansion?" Lu Qingfeng also came over, his eyes fell on the paper, and his expression was nervous.

"Private treasures... witchcraft dolls..." Shen Ji slapped the letter on the table, furious, "What a mess are these!"

Lu Qingfeng took the letter, glanced quickly, and murmured, "How could it be so... Why did such a big thing happen just after we left Beijing?"

Shen Ji clenched his fists and looked gloomy, but he still looked up at Wen Mo and asked in a low voice, "The letter says that my wife has a cold. You can buy some autumn pears tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ji straightened his expression, looked back at Lu Qingfeng, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I have something to do, and I hope Brother Lu can help me."

Lu Qingfeng looked at him with a surprised expression, but his heart sank a little inexplicably.
