The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 238 Exactly Like the Emperor

Because they had to hurry, everyone just leaned against each other and rested.

Yizhu finally saw Mo Yuchen coming back and breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness!"

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with Mo Fuchen's expression, and Yizhu could clearly feel that Mo Fuchen's mood seemed to be much better than when he was in the capital.

Yizhu couldn't help but curl his lips.

It turns out that only the Third Miss can comfort His Highness!

When Mo Yuchen looked up, he saw Yizhu's meaningful smile and glared at him: "What are you laughing at?!"

Being discovered, Yizhu quickly stopped talking: "Ahem, nothing!"

Although Yizhu's expression was already very obvious, Mo Yuchen didn't want to pursue it, but asked seriously: "Is there anything unusual?"

Yizhu also became serious: "No, it seems that there are no assassins for the time being."

Mo Yuchen nodded, sat down and prepared to rest.

Yizhu also bravely sat down and leaned his back against Mo Yuchen: "Your Highness, He Yuan and the others are watching not far away, you should have a good rest first!"

"Ah."

"I'm back." Xia Yanxiang returned to the carriage and was a little surprised to see Li Guan hadn't rested yet. "It's so late, you haven't rested yet?"

"How can I sleep when you haven't come back yet?!" Li Guan was a little dissatisfied. Why did it take so long to talk? !

Xia Yanxiang smiled and moved closer to Li Guan: "Okay, don't be angry."

"What did you two say?" Li Guan was not really angry with Xia Yanxiang, he just wanted Mo Yuchen to stay away from Xia Yanxiang.

"Nothing, it's just that His Royal Highness Prince Luo came to apologize to me." Xia Yanxiang's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about a very trivial matter.

"Apologize?!" Li Guan was quite surprised, his eyes widened, "King Luo would actually apologize?"

"He would actually apologize?!" Li Guan was really surprised by what Xia Yanxiang said, "How strange! Hey, why am I not here? Why am I not here?"

Li Guan was surprised, annoyed and regretful, and didn't even give Xia Yanxiang time to talk.

Xia Yanxiang smiled helplessly, and couldn't help but reach out to cover Li Guan's mouth: "Alright, alright! There's no need to be so regretful!"

Finally, it was quiet, and Xia Yanxiang said, "It's just because my uncle objected to my coming with him last time. It's nothing surprising."

After hearing what Xia Yanxiang said, Li Guan immediately felt regretful: "I thought it was a big deal! It's just a small matter, why is Mo Yuchen so hesitant and took so long to ask you to leave! He is too petty!"

Xia Yanxiang was amused by Li Guan's words.

"Okay, okay, let's rest early. We still have to travel tomorrow!" Xia Yanxiang urged Li Guan to rest quickly.

Li Guan wanted to ask something else, but Xia Yanxiang couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up.

After traveling for more than ten days, Xia Zhibai and others remained vigilant. There was no attempt to assassinate Mo Yuchen, which surprised Xia Zhibai and others.

Although there has been no assassination attempt yet, we should not take it lightly. Perhaps the other party wants to make them let down their guard. The more relaxed they are, the more dangerous it will be.

The situation in the northwest is very urgent this time, so Xia Zhibai has been urging the army to rush to the northwest as quickly as possible. Judging from the current marching speed, they may be able to arrive half a month earlier than expected.

After Mo Yuchen left the capital, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was quickly and smoothly held without any unexpected problems.

The queen was still ill. Although she forced herself to attend the ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, she collapsed after returning to the palace. Upon seeing this, the empress dowager temporarily handed over the power to manage the six palaces to Concubine Su.

"It's really a shame that the queen is ill this time." The queen mother was obviously very dissatisfied with the queen's illness. "I didn't teach the princess well, and caused such a shameful thing. Now the princess is going to marry, and she is sick."

Concubine Su listened from the side but did not agree with the Queen Mother.

Now, in the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Su did not teach her children well, which caused Mo Yuchen to get into such a big disaster. Naturally, she could not say anything.

It seemed that the Queen Mother had not expected to come here, and her attitude towards Concubine Su was very gentle: "Prince Luo has left the capital this time, and Prince Yu is still young, so it will be difficult for you to stay in the palace. But if you manage the harem well, the Emperor may not continue to be angry."

Concubine Su nodded obediently: "The Queen Mother is right."

Actually, Mo Yuanyue grew up under the empress dowager's care. This time, Mo Yuanyue was forced to marry a foreign prince, but the empress dowager didn't say a word for her.

When Concubine Su learned about this, she was not surprised at all, but she felt somewhat regretful.

The empress dowager could not even help her granddaughter who had grown up in her lap. How much sincerity could she have left in her?

What I said in front of her today might not be false.

"As long as Prince Luo returns safely from the northwest, the emperor won't be angry anymore." The queen mother sighed, "Such a good child, why did he neglect him like this?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyes as she spoke to see Concubine Su's expression.

Concubine Su didn't seem to be worried, but rather calmly said, "Chen'er was not careful in this matter, and it is right for the emperor to punish him this time."

The Queen Mother said meaningfully, "You are not worried at all about Chen'er going to the northwest this time."

"Chen'er was sent to the northwest by the emperor to be punished. It is also a chance for him to redeem himself. Why should I worry?" Concubine Su seemed to not understand what the empress dowager meant, and said puzzledly.

"Do you really think Chen'er will be able to come back safely this time?" The Queen Mother was a little unconvinced. Mo Chen was the child raised by Concubine Su herself, yet she didn't care about him at all?

Concubine Su smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Chen'er is just going to atone for his sins, how can he not come back?"

The Empress Dowager stared at Concubine Su's expression suspiciously, but couldn't see any flaws.

Only after returning to Anyue Palace did Concubine Su's face fall.

Aunt Hua was a little worried. She didn't dare to ask when she was outside. Only after returning to Anyue Palace did she dare to ask, "My queen, what does the queen dowager mean today?"

Aunt Hua also listened from the side and vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the Queen Mother's attitude.

"Hmph, what else could it mean? You're just testing me!" Concubine Su's face was very cold. The Queen Mother's attitude today was obviously to test whether there was more contact between her and Mo Yuchen.

"Test?" No wonder it sounds so wrong!

"The Queen Mother is really sitting in Shoukang Palace!" Concubine Su sneered, "The Sixth Princess who grew up under her lap was sent away to marry, and she didn't even show her face, pretending that she didn't know anything at all."

"Really? He looks exactly like the Emperor!"
