Mo Junyu hurried to Ci'an Palace, Ling Ruiyin seemed to have expected that he would make this trip, and she was already sitting in the courtyard waiting.
"My grandson has met the imperial grandmother." Mo Junyu stepped forward and bowed to Ling Ruiyin to say hello.
From beginning to end, Mo Junyu had great respect for this imperial grandmother who helped him a lot.
Even if he has become the emperor, he always treats Ling Ruiyin with utmost respect.
Ling Ruiyin was obviously very satisfied with Mo Junyu's attitude, and waved to Mo Junyu lovingly, "Yu'er, come and sit."
Mo Junyu sat down next to Ling Ruiyin obediently, but the anxious look on his face could not be suppressed, and he seemed a little restless.
Ling Ruiyin patted the back of his hand and comforted him: "Your Majesty, everything is under control. You don't have to worry so much."
Mo Junyu kept glancing into the room and asked in a low voice: "Prince Rui's Crown Princess..."
Ling Ruiyin nodded lightly, "She is resting in the side hall. The Ai family will let her stay in the palace for a few days."
"She agreed?" Mo Junyu frowned, obviously not expecting this matter to be that simple.
Mo Junyu felt that just like he couldn't keep Mo Junyang, it was not easy for Ling Ruiyin to keep Shi Qingxue.
Unexpectedly, Ling Ruiyin really did it.
While His Majesty the Emperor was pleasantly surprised, he was also puzzled, "Why did Shi Qingxue..."
Ling Ruiyin smiled and said: "This girl Qingxue's thoughts are actually very simple. The Ai family just said that she has been feeling unwell recently and wanted to keep her by her side to accompany the Ai family for a few days.
No other excuse was needed, she agreed. "
Mo Junyu opened his eyes wide in surprise, unable to believe what he heard.
So easy to cheat
"She is soft-hearted, and the Ai family was also kind to her regarding the military power of the Shi family and her marriage. It is impossible for her to reject the Ai family, both emotionally and rationally." Ling Ruiyin explained the reason.
This is why Ling Ruiyin asked to summon Shi Qingxue alone.
If Mo Junyang was also present, it would not be that simple for Shi Qingxue if she wanted to stay.
Ling Ruiyin also felt a little guilty when she thought of the expression on Qingxue's hesitation just now, but she finally took out her personal belongings as a signal.
She really loves this child Shi Qingxue!
But compared to Mo Junyu's Jiangshan Sheji, that bit of love has become a bargaining chip that can be used.
The two succeeded in temporarily keeping Shi Qingxue in the palace, but Mo Junyu was still a little worried, "Will it really be useful if only Shi Qingxue is left alone?"
Mo Junyu knew Mo Junyang's abilities very well.
As long as he faced Mo Junyang, he always felt that no matter how perfect the plan was, it was not enough.
Ling Ruiyin was very confident in their plan, "You have known Mo Shizi for so long, so you should know best about his obsession with that girl Qingxue.
As long as we trap Qingxue, we will put chains on the tiger like Prince Mo. Prince Mo will no longer pose a threat to you! "
"That's what I said, but if he really belongs to the emperor..." Mo Junyu swallowed his words. He really didn't want Mo Junyang to be the prince.
Hufu went over and said: "If he really has the ambition to replace him, even if we have Shi Qingxue in his hands, will he still be able to do whatever he wants?"
In Mo Junyu's view, an ambitious man's bloodline cannot prevent him from achieving his goals, let alone a mere woman.
Maybe Mo Junyang really dotes on Shi Qingxue, but that's on the premise that it doesn't conflict with his career.
Once Shi Qingxue's existence becomes a threat to him, a determined person like Mo Junyang should be able to give it up easily, right
Mo Junyu was really worried that even if they grasped Shi Qingxue, they would only grasp a loser, and they might be bitten back in the future.
Ling Ruiyin shook his head and sighed that Mo Junyu was still too young.
"It is true that love will fade one day. It is indeed impossible for Mo Junyang to be as obsessed with Qingxue as always. But now that the two have just got married, it is a sweet time when they are inseparable. He will not give up Qingxue easily no matter what. Snowy.”
She also used an analogy, "You just got a long-awaited baby, and you haven't even warmed up to it yet. Would you be willing to give it to someone else?"
"Of course not!" Mo Junyu responded.
After Ling Ruiyin said this, Mo Junyu also felt relieved.
As Ling Ruiyin said, Mo Junyang will not weaken his infatuation with Shi Qingxue for a while, but if it is for the throne, what choice will he make
Mo Junyu has no clue either.
Suppressing the faint uneasiness in his heart, Mo Junyu asked again: "Then what should we do next?"
"First of all, we must find out the authenticity of this news - although it is very possible, we must also prevent someone from trying to sow discord between you and Mo Shizi, so we must find out the source of the news."
Ling Ruiyin pondered for a while and then asked: "Where is the person who told you this news?"
Mo Junyu was confused: "Mo You told his grandson about this."
"How did he know that?"
"I heard from him that Prime Minister Liang got the news first. It's just that the Liang family was worried that I wouldn't trust them, so they told Mo You about it first, and then asked Mo You to convey it to me."
Although Mo Junyu didn't like the roundabout behavior of the Liang family, he also understood that if the Liang family really came to tell him the news, then he would never trust the Liang family as much as he trusted Mo You.
On the contrary, his first thought was whether the good family was trying to sow discord.
So it’s not surprising that a good family would make such a choice.
only…
"When did Mo You get the news?" Ling Ruiyin asked.
Mo Junyu: "Just last night, my grandson told you immediately after getting the news."
To be honest, Mo Junyu still trusted the old man in front of him the most who helped him ascend the throne.
In other words, among the former harem, he and Ling Ruiyin were the only ones whose interests were almost identical, and Ling Ruiyin was the one least likely to betray him.
"Last night..." Ling Ruiyin repeated meaningfully, with a subtle expression on his face.
It's not that she doesn't believe the news coming from a good family - on the contrary, since the news comes from a good family, Mo Junyang's life experience is probably close to the rumors.
However, this secret was not leaked sooner or later, but it came out on the night of Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue's wedding.
The timing is so stuck that one cannot help but feel that Liang Yuanming has an ulterior motive.
Ling Ruiyin thought for a moment and said cautiously: "There may be an inside story about this matter. Let's wait and see how the good family reacts."
After a pause, she asked again: "You have known Prince Mo for many years, so you should know him very well.
Do you think Prince Mo already knew his life experience? "
Mo Junyu frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said hesitantly: "To be honest with grandma, although my grandson has known Yang Di for many years, he has always been cold-hearted and cold-hearted.
Most of the time, I couldn't guess what he was thinking. "
When he mentioned this, he felt depressed.
Fortunately, he once regarded Mo Junyang as a close friend, but now looking back on that man's attitude, he probably had no intention of getting close to him from the beginning to the end.
"Then he treats you..." Ling Ruiyin couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Not long ago, she even taught Mo Junyu to never forget his roots and treated Mo Junyang, a great hero, badly.
But if Mo Junyang is really the prince, how can he help Mo Junyu become emperor
In this regard, Mo Junyu still said something fair.
"Although Brother Yang is aloof and not close to his grandchildren, he has never slacked off in official matters."
At this point, Mo Junyu paused, with complicated emotions in his eyes, but he had to admit, "He did help me a lot."
"In this case, he probably doesn't know his life experience yet?" Ling Ruiyin made a guess based on ordinary people's thinking.
Mo Junyu's approval was obtained.
"My grandson thinks so too. Today, my grandson has tested me several times, but Yang Di has always been very calm. If he really knew the truth, he should never be like this!"
Ling Ruiyin immediately said: "Then this secret must be kept secret first, and it must not be spread to anyone else, especially Prince Rui's Mansion!"
Mo Junyu: "Don't worry, grandma, I have already issued a ban to Mo You and the Liang family. They also know the priority of this matter and will never talk nonsense."
Ling Ruiyin nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's settle this matter for now, stabilize the person first, and then make plans after finding out the facts.
You should communicate with Prime Minister Liang more these days to confirm the authenticity of the matter. "
"My grandson knows."
Mo Junyu and Ling Ruiyin discussed the general policy, and their hearts that had been holding on finally fell back to their chests.
But these two people didn't know that their inferences that they thought were reasonable were completely deviated from the truth of the matter.
So much so that the conjectures and decisions made on this basis became more and more outrageous.
At this time, Mo Junyang naturally didn't know that those people were plotting against him behind his back.
As soon as he returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, he was excitedly taken to the private prison by Qu Yuexuan.
On the torture rack, a tattered man was being tied to it.
His hair was disheveled and his head was bowed, looking as if he was dead.
Mo Junyang frowned and asked coldly: "Who?"
While Qu Yuexuan ordered someone to put down the woman on the torture rack, he introduced the information he had forced to confess to Mo Junyang.
"This person is a soldier that Mo Junhao raised privately. She is a little palace maid on the surface, but she is very capable. After Mo Junhao rebelled against the king, he quietly escaped from the palace. Since then, he has been lurking in Kyoto until he suddenly appeared recently. .
In fact, our secret guards have been vaguely aware of her existence, but before they had time to take action, she had already revealed the news to the good family. The news in the palace came from the good family, just last night. "
On the surface, Qu Yuexuan seemed to be just a jobber in Prince Rui's Palace. He relied on his brother Qu Yuebai's status to barely occupy a place in Prince Rui's Palace.
But in fact, he is the commander of Mo Junyang's secret guards, and his status is second only to Mo Junyang.
He and Qu Yuebai worked openly and secretly to keep Mo Junyang's power in order.
Qu Yuexuan has always boasted of his superb skills in spying on information, and even boasted that there was nothing in Kyoto that he didn't know about.
But I didn't expect that such a big mistake would be made by accident.
Qu Yuexuan felt guilty and embarrassed at the same time. He used all his special skills on this person, trying to pry out everything hidden in the other person's mouth as quickly as possible.
