She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 20 False accusation was wrong?

"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace."

Lin Fengming stood up and took a look.

I saw the man on the high platform, wearing a dark robe with gold patterns, and a crown and curtain beads that vaguely obscured his expression.

Even so, that invisible feeling of oppression always surrounds him.

The emperor glanced at the two of them, with a deep look in his eyes, and then he chuckled and said: "Today is my [-]th birthday. Taking advantage of this good day, all the ministers will be present. I plan to pay tribute to you before the end of the banquet." Everyone officially announces your engagement."

"Varied……"

This happened suddenly, and Lin Fengming looked stunned for a moment.

When I accepted the gift at the mansion, I thought that I would have to deal with it and refuse the engagement in the future.

But she ignored the emperor's desire for their family's military power, and actually chose to announce it at this time.

"Your Majesty, I feel that..."

"My son and I will abide by my father's decision in everything."

Mo Yunzheng's calm voice interrupted Lin Fengming's unfinished words.

She glanced sideways at the man beside her. This man deserved his reward quickly, but the indifferent expression on his face showed no joy, and he obviously had no feelings for her.

They are just puppets under the imperial power.

There was silence in my heart for a moment, and finally I pursed my lips and responded.

"My maid, please obey Your Majesty's arrangements in everything."

As the banquet was approaching, Ye Xuwan went to the warehouse again to check the birthday gifts one by one according to the arrangement.

This job is not that difficult. The only thing is to be careful and careful not to break anything.

"Ye Shangshu, golden dragon and jade lamp..."

While recording, Ye Xuwan suddenly realized something was wrong and stopped what she was doing to look.

The pair of jade lamps in front of me looked more and more familiar.

The contents of the original work flashed through my mind. The original mother brought a lot of dowry when she got married, and this pair of golden dragon and jade lamps was one of them.

Ha, it's really ridiculous. Is the Ye family now in such a state of poverty that they want to give the emperor their dowry from their concubines?

Ye Xuwan squatted down and looked at the jade cup carefully.

It wasn't that she was displeased with the Ye family for giving this thing away, she was just following her job and checking whether there was any damage to the jade lamp.

It just so happened that the door of the warehouse was slowly pushed open at this time.

Ye Xuwan thought it was the servant who came to get the gift. She poked her head out and saw that it was the maid who had inquired about the news that day.

Ye Xuwan secretly stepped back a few steps and disappeared.

This place is originally a warehouse, with many treasure boxes stacked on top of each other. It is easy to hide after squatting down.

Through the gap in the shelf, Ye Xuwan saw the maid sneaking to the gift box prepared by Mo Yunzheng, putting something in it, and then leaving in a hurry.

Seeing this, Ye Xuwan stepped forward to check, and after opening the box, there was a slender poisonous insect inside!

Before the banquet started, Ye Xuwan handed over the work to the guards and rushed to the banquet site, standing beside Mo Yunzheng to serve.

Upon noticing Ye Xuwan coming, Mo Yunzheng turned his head slightly and looked behind him.

Seeing this, Ye Xuwan leaned down and whispered in Mo Yunzheng's ear: "Everything has been resolved."

"Fourth brother, I heard that my father has arranged for General Lin's daughter to be the crown princess. You are really lucky."

Originally, Ye Xuwan was so sleepy that she almost couldn't open her eyes.

But when he heard Mo Qingsong's voice, his whole body shivered and he immediately woke up.

Mo Qingsong was seen wearing light-colored clothes, and the crown was made of ice jade.

But it is a pity that a person with greed and hostility in his eyes cannot pretend to be a scholar and a refined guest with just a set of clothes.

"Brother, the emperor is very lucky. The emperor can allow you to marry two wives at the same time." The day after the marriage between Mo Yunzheng and Lin Fengming was decided, the emperor called Mo Qingsong to inquire about the candidate he wanted. .

Unexpectedly, Mo Qing suddenly said that the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Hubu and the eldest daughter of a royal merchant were both good, and he wanted them both.

At first, the emperor was very angry at this statement, but in the end, he somehow agreed.

Mo Qingsong smiled coldly and said, "Fourth brother, are you dissatisfied?"

Hearing this, Mo Yunzheng stood up and walked to Mo Qingsong's side, his eyes low and unpredictable.

He lowered his voice and said: "Brother, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. After all, the marriage contract between you and me is just a chess piece to my father. It's a pity that my father doesn't seem to care about you as a chess piece."

"What do you mean by that!"

Mo Qingsong's expression paused after hearing this, as if he sensed something was wrong.

But Mo Yunzheng just looked at the person in front of him indifferently, and said in a cold voice: "Today is my father's birthday after all, so I just need to stop talking. Brother, please don't show off and make your father angry."

At the beginning of the banquet, the emperor walked up to the high platform, and all the officials knelt down to salute and congratulate him on his birthday.

"I congratulate Your Majesty on his fiftieth birthday! Long live your Majesty! Long live my Emperor!"

The deafening sound resounded throughout the palace, and even the crowd outside the city wall could faintly hear the emperor's wish for longevity.

Ye Xuwan stood by Mo Yunzheng's side throughout the entire process, watching his dealings with the ministers.

From time to time, he had to deal with the emperor's problems.

Just by looking at it like this, Ye Xuwan also realized the difficulty of being in a high position.

While bored, Ye Xuwan's eyes wandered around the banquet.

He clearly caught a glimpse of the maid who was inquiring about the news sneaking up to Concubine Lin, leaning over and speaking into her ear for a moment.

Then, Concubine Lin subconsciously covered the corners of her mouth with her jade hands, her expression pretending to be nervous.

This exaggerated reaction made it difficult for the emperor not to pay attention.

The emperor frowned, "What happened?"

Concubine Lin suddenly left the table and knelt down on the ground. Her bright and beautiful face was now pale, as if she had been greatly frightened. She hesitated, then gritted her teeth and said: "This... Your Majesty... I have just... I got the news that poisonous insects were found in the gifts prepared by the prince."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Mo Qingsong looked at Mo Yunzheng, with indescribable pride in his eyes.

The originally peaceful atmosphere became solemn in an instant.

"You better know what you're talking about!"

The emperor shouted sharply, and Concubine Lin's expression showed a hint of guilt.

After steadying her mind, she lowered her body and said, "Whether it is there or not, Your Majesty asked the prince to present the gift now, and you will know at a glance."

The expression on Mo Yunzheng's face did not change, and he seemed to have expected everything before him.

The emperor's scrutinizing gaze stayed on Concubine Lin for a moment, then turned to Mo Yunzheng in the audience.

"Come here! Bring the prince's gift!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Ye Xuwan appeared with the box.

Upon seeing this, Mo Yunzheng stood up and presented the gift to the emperor in person.

Under the attention of everyone, the exquisite gift box was slowly opened.

There was only a roll of drawings placed quietly inside, and there was no trace of poisonous insects anywhere.

Concubine Lin was stunned when she saw this scene.

Not only are the poisonous insects gone, but the Night Pearl that was originally promised has now turned into something else.

"Although I don't know who the queen got the news from, as you can see with your own eyes, there is nothing in it."
