Fu Mochen accepted this explanation anyway, and let Nanny Gui take him away, not really understanding what was going on. He was reluctant to leave.
Only this old man who had served the queen for most of his life knew the queen's true thoughts.
She sighed and decided to keep the matter to herself.
"Your Majesty, please do not contradict the Queen Mother. She... has suffered a lot for doing this. You just need to grow up quickly and well, which will be the best reward for her."
"Mammy, I can't understand why I should repay my mother. My mother defeated me, but I have never drunk her milk for a day. I always feel like there is something between me and her, and I can never get close to her."
Aunt Gui looked complicated and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Fu Mochen lowered his head, and it took a long time before he raised it again.
"When Mammy asked me why, I told her the truth. You are the only ones who loved me in this palace since I was a child. I know what my mother went through, but I was too young to do anything for her. But now that I have power, why is my mother still not satisfied?"
Nanny Gui was shocked. She didn't know when the young master had grown up into an adult who could see through people's hearts. What should she do in this situation
If one day that happens, what should we do
With a long sigh, Nanny Gui coaxed him to sleep.
Back in the Queen's bedroom, Nanny Gui was still nervous.
As usual, the Queen would ask about the Prince's daily life.
There was some warmth before, but recently there has been more complaints than care.
"Madam Gui, what did I tell you? Don't let him bother me again! I have a lot of things to do every day, and it is really not appropriate for a child like him to come in and out of my palace at will. So, you can add two guards at my door and tell them not to let anyone in without my order, not even the prince!"
Is this about to start
Nanny Gui nodded resignedly, all her former snobbery and cunningness gone, leaving only deep sorrow for the child in her heart.
"Yes, my lady, I will prepare it right away."
When leaving the bedroom, Nanny Gui glanced at the place she had just come out of. It was so cold and dark that there was no warmth at all. The palace was really a place where it was easy to lose yourself.
Not long after Aunt Gui left, Ou Duo came to visit.
"Empress, you have gained nothing in the past few days. When will our matter have any results?"
The queen also replied irritably: "Didn't I tell you that as long as Fu Yuheng is not found and confirmed dead, our plan cannot be realized. Do you know who he is? He is Fu Yuheng! No matter how powerful your Aokong country is, you can't make any trouble with him around."
Ouduo's face was extremely embarrassed. The queen's words made him really lose face.
"Queen, what do you mean? We came here with integrity, and this is how you treat us?"
The queen said impatiently: "Think about it yourself. If you still want to cooperate, then just do what I say. If you don't want to, end the relationship as soon as possible. I don't lack power anyway."
Ouduo's face turned pale. After a long while, he bowed slightly and left angrily.
Back in the bedroom, Ouduo was filled with righteous indignation and was still angry.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you having trouble with the Queen again?"
The subordinate asked cautiously.
Ou Duo replied: "Isn't it that old woman? She took advantage of her status as the queen of Daliang to use our manpower endlessly and was reluctant to fulfill her promise. I hate her so much."
The subordinates comforted him and said, "Master, please bear with it for now. We still have to rely on them to do things. The little emperor is useless and can only rely on the queen's snobbery to do things for us. If you think about the benefits in the future, you will know what to do next."
Ou Duo finally stopped the evil thoughts in his heart and suppressed his dissatisfaction with the queen, and asked: "How did you check the inn today? Is there any progress?"
The subordinate said dejectedly, "Not yet. Those people are too cunning. They seem to know where we are going to investigate. They always find a place to hide. Master, I think we should force the queen so that she won't take us seriously."
"How to force?"
Ouduo has wanted to do this for a long time, but due to the lack of the right time and reason, it always failed in the womb.
"Let me hear your story. If it's good, I'll give you a share in the future."
The subordinates were very happy and didn't know what to do after hearing his promise.
He had been oppressed by the royal family for many years and had lived the life of a slave, so now he was willing to take the risk and join Odo in the rebellion.
"My Lord, we can tell the Queen about the Emperor coming to Daliang. Do you think she will be anxious?"
Ou Duo thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he went to the palace the next day and talked about it with the queen.
"Dear Queen, I think I need to tell you some things about our Okon country."
"you say."
The queen was also very curious about the people of that country and couldn't help but learn a little about them from other people's mouths.
"Empress, you must have heard of Okon before. Okon was once very powerful, with abundant resources and heritage, but the emperor focused on the people for development. What do the poor know? They can support anyone with a stutter as king, which is very detrimental to our development."
At this point, the subject changed and began to talk about Huo Langqi's strengths.
"But he is really like a vicious wolf. No one can pull out his fangs. We are all very afraid of him. This man will come to Daliang soon. If he really comes, how will he treat us and the current emperor of Daliang who has formed an alliance with us?"
The queen felt a little nervous.
After listening to what Ouduo said, she naturally had her own thoughts.
She was not afraid of a war between Okong and Daliang. After all, fighting one war was the same as fighting two wars. She could also take this opportunity to privately deal with some officials in the court who were not on good terms with her. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
But after seeing Odo's description of Emperor Okon, she suddenly became afraid. If Odo sent another brave and capable general, they would have no other candidate except the Shen family army.
Thinking of this, the queen asked Odo with a smile: "Messenger, you see we are allies now, you should tell me everything you know about Okon, especially about their strength. If we go to war one day, I will know ourselves and the enemy and help you get rid of him."
Ouduo smiled contemptuously in his heart, people from the Central Plains are hypocritical.
Then the surface is flawless and done to perfection.
"Since Her Majesty the Queen wants to listen, I will naturally accompany you to the end."
In terms of military strength and character, he was almost not inferior to Huo Langqi in the slightest.
