It was already evening when Ye Xuwan went back to report to Mo Yunzheng. The latter may have been silent for a long time after listening, wondering what he was thinking.

When he mentioned that Concubine Lin might take the opportunity to regain her favor, Mo Yunzheng just smiled and said nothing more.

In the early morning of the court, the officials sent by the emperor to Jiangnan also came back, and there was inevitably a lot of discussion in the court.

The officials could clearly see the farce that day, and now they were just waiting for this person to speak.

Everyone knows that if the flood is indeed not controlled well, the eldest prince and his party will be offended, but if it is said that the flood is managed well, the prince will be offended.

Mo Qingsong didn't seem to be nervous at all, but looked at ease, and even glanced at Mo Yunzheng leisurely.

"Your Majesty, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River have indeed been cured."

As soon as these words came out, some people in the court couldn't help but take a breath.

The flood control in the south of the Yangtze River has been completed, isn't it Mo Yunzheng's ulterior motive? Deliberately targeting Mo Qingsong?

The last thing the emperor wanted to see was the drama of fratricide. Hearing this, he immediately frowned and looked at Mo Yunzheng with disapproval.

On the contrary, Mo Qingsong smiled as if he had a good temper, "Father, I know that the fourth brother must have done it unintentionally, but because of the large number of people in Jiangnan, he was afraid that something would happen."

When he mentioned what happened that day in this way, the emperor's expression softened slightly, and he just hummed, his tone full of appreciation, "Since it was a misunderstanding, let's let this matter go."

give up?

Mo Qingsong had a smile on his face, but he was filled with unwillingness.

Why did Mo Yunzheng casually mention that, regardless of whether it was true or false, his father had to check it first?

Now that I know that I have been wronged, I still want to say that I have cleared the matter.

With such partiality, how could he regard Mo Yunzheng as a brother? !

But Mo Yunzheng seemed to have expected this result. He opened his mouth in a rather casual manner, and his eyes fell on Mo Qingsong, "I can't stand up to the emperor anymore."

The sarcasm in his words is self-evident.

All the officials changed their expressions and became as silent as a cicada.

Did Mo Yunzheng not want to expose this matter, or was he implying that someone was behind the same story?

No one dares to make wild guesses.

The emperor immediately shouted angrily, "That's enough. Since it's your fault, why hold on to it?"

Instead, Mo Yunzheng bowed to the emperor with a stern look on his face, "Father, my son is sincerely apologizing to the eldest brother, why are you holding on to him again? Where do we start talking about this?"

As soon as these words came out, even the emperor could not say anything else.

The smile on Mo Qingsong's face also faded.
-
"Fourth brother, aren't you curious why Father can't find out?"

Of course Mo Qingsong has no scruples now. The emperor has no suspicion of him anymore.

He just wanted to see Mo Yunzheng's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yunzheng stopped at the next moment, and the curve of his lips was not shallow but deep, "Why should I be curious? There are only so many ways to control the situation. Do you think I can't guess it? It's all the work of the imperial concubine and your grandfather's family." , I went to great lengths to cover up your shame, Brother Emperor, you don’t really think that Gu, like you, is a child who can’t live without his mother, do you?”

If it had been in the court earlier, Mo Yunzheng would have cared about the emperor's face when he ridiculed him.

Now it can be said that there is no room left, and I am not willing to do anything to save face.

"What can you do if you know? Is it possible that my father will still listen to you?" Mo Qingsong became relaxed again when he said this. He looked at Mo Yunzheng with malicious eyes, "But that's what the fourth brother said, after all. Empress Yuan died too early, and it is human nature for you not to realize how caring your mother is." Mo Yunzheng was still smiling, but beneath this smile, anger boiled, as if he could tear Mo Qingsong into pieces at any time.

He just wanted to think about it, he couldn't and wouldn't do it.

"Really?" Mo Yunzheng stepped forward and patted his shoulder gently under Mo Qingsong's wary gaze, "Then you'd better hope that your good mother-in-law can protect you for the rest of your life, brother."

After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving Mo Qingsong alone standing there, filled with anger and a hint of uneasiness.
-
Ye Xuwan was keenly aware that Mo Yunzheng was not in a good mood today. Although she didn't really want to get into trouble, she knew that if she didn't ask, she would be in trouble if Mo Yunzheng came to trouble her.

"What happened to His Highness today?"

She asked cautiously, fearing that Mo Yunzheng would vent his anger on her.

Mo Yunzheng glanced sideways at her, "The floods in Jiangnan have been cured, can you trust me?"

"impossible!"

After Ye Xuwan finished speaking, she realized what she had said. She immediately looked at Mo Yunzheng and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Sure enough, after hearing her decisive rejection, Mo Yunzheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at her, "Why is it impossible? Do you know better than Gu?"

Ye Xuwan pursed her lips and looked confident, "The person who gave the slave the note that day should be the person sent by His Highness to Jiangnan to personally investigate. Since Your Highness found out that the floods in Jiangnan were not dealt with, how could it be that he had changed Can one person handle it?"

"This servant believes in His Highness, not to mention that it is not difficult for Concubine Lin to get involved."

Fortunately, she got it back.

Mo Yunzheng seemed to reluctantly believe this statement, but looked at Ye Xuwan with a more probing look, "Then do you know how to bring this matter back to the father?"

"Look at Gu."

Ye Xuwan could only raise her eyes and look directly into Mo Yunzheng's eyes, "I have seen people fleeing famine before. If the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River continues for a long time, there will definitely be refugees fleeing everywhere. Then..."

She choked up when she said this, and her eyes widened immediately.

Mo Yunzheng laughed, sighed and went into the palace.

When the time comes, Concubine Lin and Mo Qingsong will not be able to hide it no matter how much they want to.

I'm afraid they didn't expect this flood to be so severe, but once a disaster lasts for more than three months, it is enough to cause people to panic.

It's a pity that Lin Guifei and Mo Qingsong probably didn't take it into account.

Ye Xuwan swallowed subconsciously. She had read the original work. Where was Mo Yunzheng? He could know that this flood was coming, probably just because he was smart.

His methods and scheming can be used for this purpose. No wonder the emperor has no intention of taking away his position as prince.

Since that day, the emperor went to Lin Guifei's palace to have dinner, and because he had wronged Mo Qingsong, he began to stay there often.

News immediately spread from the harem that Concubine Lin was back in favor. After hearing the news, Xu Zhaoyi was not the one who was most upset.

It's Concubine Shu.

She originally thought that Concubine Lin was pulled down and could concentrate on dealing with Mo Yunzheng, at least in the short term.

But the latter didn't give her a chance, and Concubine Lin actually regained her favor after just two or three months.

This is not a good thing for her. Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise outside.
