FRAGRANCE

CHAPTER 201 - SECOND ANTIDOTE

Hearing this, Feng Jiu's heart jumped!

So Mo Yun had really woken up!

Following which, a sudden wave of joy rippled in her heart. But then she was perplexed: Didn't she personally see the empress dowager take the antidote?

Feng Jiu was about to walk in to investigate when suddenly, he saw a domineering empress dowager in a bright yellow long robe quickly walking over. Her head was held high and her chest was puffed up.

Feng Jiu's eyes lit up and he immediately hid behind a small bush.

He saw the empress dowager walk straight into the palace.

Feng Jiu thought for a moment. Then, he leapt onto the roof of the chamber and quietly entered the chamber, hiding in a corner of the hall.

Feng Jiu looked carefully and saw that Mo Yun had indeed woken up! Although his face was still pale, there was already a tinge of blood on his face. He could even sit up from the bed! It was clear that the corpse poison in his body had already been purged!

At this time, the empress dowager had already rushed to the bedside. Seeing that Mo Yun had indeed recovered greatly, she was immediately shocked! But as expected of the more experienced Jiang, the empress dowager instantly regained her normal color.

Your majesty! The empress dowager answered amiably with a pleased expression, Amitabha! Looks like the emperor really is getting better …"

Mo Yunzhen and Feng Jiu almost burst out laughing in the dark — when did this old woman start believing in the Buddha? Aren't you afraid of laughing your teeth off?

Only Yun Zhaoyi didn't know. He thought the empress dowager and Mo Yunzhen's relationship was deep. His eyes reddened as he displayed an expression that seemed to be very touched. Empress Dowager … The Emperor has suffered! Chenqie's heart feels so uncomfortable …

The corners of the empress dowager's mouth twitched … And then he comforted Yun Zhaoyi gently, Alright, alright! Isn't everything okay now? Oh right, Yun Zhaoyi, I just heard that you want to fetch hot water for the emperor to bathe in, aren't you going to hurry down and prepare?

Yun Zhaoyi was slightly taken aback before he came to his senses! The empress dowager wanted to part with her and have a private conversation with Mo Yun Zhen!

Thinking of this, Yun Zhaoyi hurriedly replied, Yes! Empress Dowager! Chenqie will go down to prepare hot water personally! And then, everyone else in the palace was ordered to retreat.

In an instant, only the Empress Dowager and Mo Yunzhen remained in the palace.

Seeing Yun Zhaoyi and the others leave, the empress dowager and Mo Yunzhen's smiling faces that had been looking at each other suddenly became dramatic, causing Feng Jiu, who was hiding in the shadows, to laugh. They almost laughed out loud!

The empress dowager frowned and got straight to the point. Your majesty! How did you get rid of the corpse poison in your body? Did someone give you the antidote for the corpse poison? "

Mo Yun Zhen's black eyes narrowed as he looked at her calmly. Don't forget that I, the empress dowager, am the empress dowager's own son. Even if I have a mother, I will definitely have a son. If the empress dowager can find the antidote, then naturally I can as well!

The empress dowager's expression changed slightly … Then, he returned to normal, and said with a gloomy face, I just want to know, where did you get the antidote from?

Humph! Mo Yun Zhen snorted. Why do you ask the empress dowager when you already know the answer? Hadn't the empress dowager heard Yun Zhaoyi's words just now? It's a girl called Mistress Yun who cured the corpse poison in my body …"

Hearing this, the empress dowager and Feng Jiu were both shocked.

The empress dowager was baffled. Mistress Cloud? She had never heard of such a person! When they had walked in from the outside, Yun Zhaoyi had told her that a woman called Mistress Yun had cured the corpse poison in Mo Yunzhen's body. She couldn't believe it! Now that Mo Yun had said the same … Mistress Cloud … What was the background of this person?

Feng Jiu was shocked, Mistress Cloud? Wasn't she the owner of the Apricot Flower Hall? When Feng Jiu first met with the Cloud Mother, he already felt that this woman's identity and background must be very extraordinary! He didn't expect it to be like this! However, he did not know what was Mistress Cloud's secret. Where did he come from? Was Mistress Cloud and Ashes in the same group? If they were in the same group, did that mean that Mistress Cloud had been assigned to cure Mo Yun of the corpse poison? However … He had already given Feng Jiu one pill …

The more Feng Jiu guessed, the more he thought he couldn't figure it out!

Mo Yunzhen saw the empress dowager's gloomy expression and raised an eyebrow. I wonder if there are any other orders the empress dowager can give? I just got rid of the poison, so I need to take a bath... I hope the empress dowager can avoid it for a while! "

The empress dowager gave a cold snort before glaring at Mo Yunzhen. Without a word, she flicked her sleeves and left.

As soon as the empress dowager left, Yun Zhaoyi entered.

Behind Yun Zhaoyi, a few attendants carried several large buckets of hot water and poured them into a large wooden bucket. After that, Yun Zhao ordered everyone to leave, leaving only her and Mo Yunzhen behind.

Yun Zhaoyi's gaze rippled. With a slight smile, he walked in front of Mo Junzhen and said gently, Your Majesty, allow chenqie to help you undress …

Hearing this, Feng Jiu, who was hiding in the dark, felt goosebumps all over his body.

Mo Yun Zhen originally wanted to undress himself, but he failed when he tried to move. Although the corpse poison in his body had already been purged, his body was still weak and powerless. He didn't even have the strength to remove his clothes.

Mo Yun Zhen could not help but say, Alright!

Hearing this, Feng Jiu's willow-shaped eyebrows suddenly became cold!

Good heavens, Mo Yunzhu! Damn it, I'm so pissed off!

When you were in front of me, you kept saying that you've never been lucky with any other women in the harem … Now you want another woman to undress you! Humph! So the words of a man were all lies! Nonsense!

A hint of pleasant surprise appeared on Yun Zhaoyi's face. Every time she and Mo Yun Zhen were alone and she wanted to take the initiative to get close to him, he would find an excuse to reject her or just run away … This was the first time Mo Yun really did not reject her!

Thinking of this, Yun Zhaoyi was extremely excited. Walking up to Mo Junzhen, her petite body was enveloped in his tall and slender figure. She was so close to him, she could clearly smell the leisurely aroma of a dragon on his body, interweaving with his unique manly scent … Yun Zhaoyi's cheeks couldn't help but flush bright red. While unbuttoning the buttons in front of his chest, he shyly lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eyes …

Her fair and delicate fingers trembled slightly, but … Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her finger, as if someone had bitten her. She abruptly retracted her hand and frowned.

What's wrong? Mo Yun really raised an eyebrow and looked at her in confusion.

Tears welled up in Yun Zhaoyi's eyes from the pain. Your Majesty … Chenqie didn't know what was going on either! Chenqie's hand hurts so much …

As he said that, Yun Zhaoyi extended a finger towards Mo Yunzhen, showing him her hand.

Mo Yun Zhen frowned. He saw that there was indeed a red mark on her hand that was just created. What's going on?

CHAPTER 202 - THE TIGRESS IS OUT OF CONTROL

Wuwuwu … Your Majesty, chenqie really hurts … "

Mo Yun raised an eyebrow and said, Since it hurts so much, then I won't trouble you too much. I'll do it myself!

… Yun Zhaoyi nearly fainted! She had been acting coquettishly towards Mo Yun Zhen. She thought that Mo Yun would really feel sorry for her and say something about loving her … Then she fell into his arms, moved and gentle … And then everything went according to plan...

Who would have thought that this man, this man was so cold and merciless!

Your majesty! Yun Zhaoyi stomped his feet, a look of unwillingness on his face.

Alright, alright! Mo Yun said, You can leave now! If you do not trust me, then find a palace maid to come in and help me take care of my clothes!

Yun Zhaoyi was speechless. If she really had to choose, she would of course choose to let Mo Yun Zhen do it himself! If she really had to send in a palace maid to serve Mo Yun Zhen … She was really worried!

However, Yun Zhaoyi still refused to give up. Aiyo, your majesty! Actually, chenqie …"

Alright, alright! Mo Yun Zhen's eyes flashed, his handsome face giggled. I did this for the sake of my beloved concubine! Her beloved concubine's hand was injured and she needed to go out and apply medicine... If my beloved concubine doesn't want to go out, then I'll go out!

As he spoke, he pretended to stand up and walk out of the chamber.

Yun Zhaoyi hurriedly stopped him, saying helplessly, Alright then! Then chenqie will take her leave first! If the emperor has any inconvenience, he must instruct his concubine!

Mo Yun Zhen nodded and said gently, Go on! Get out and apply medicine! Rest assured! This Emperor will remember!

Only then did Yun Zhaoyi walk out of the chamber, depressed.

As he walked out of his bedroom, Yun Zhaoyi suddenly raised his hand. A red mark could be seen on the back of his fair hand. No one knew what insect had bitten him! Strangely, when did such a terrifying insect appear in her bedroom?

However, she didn't have time to think too much about it right now. Her wounds really hurt, so much so that she was on the verge of dying from the pain … Let's hurry up and apply the medicine!

Seeing Yun Zhaoyi and the rest disappearing outside the door … Mo Yun Zhen turned around and took a few slow steps before rolling his eyes and replying, I say, the one upstairs can now appear, right?

The light in Feng Jiu's eyes flickered … In the next moment, he jumped down from the roof!

Feng Jiu's feet firmly landed on the ground. The moment he stood in front of Mo Yunzhen, Mo Yun Zhen's eyes lit up, but he did not reveal much surprise on his face.

Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow. What? You know I'm the one upstairs?

Mo Yun really rolled his eyes, If it wasn't for you, who would be so bored as to throw rocks at the back of Yun Zhaoyi's hand?

… Feng Jiu was speechless.

Fine! It was unknown whether it was because she was too clumsy, or because he was too skilled, or was it because he understood her too well, and had already reached a point where they could link their hearts together!

Humph! Feng Jiu's eyes lit up faintly as he said angrily, Who told her to lay her hands on you? Since I am not happy, I will throw rocks at her!

Mo Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She crossed her arms and tapped on them with her fingertips, Tsk, tsk, tsk … It was said that women were tigers! Qiao Qiao was originally a tiger, but now that she was jealous, she became more powerful … Uh, let me think! Now, the bridge is no longer an ordinary tiger, but a — — tigress! "

Before he could finish his sentence, a jade necked vase flew towards Mo Yun!

Mo Yun was truly shocked. His body was still weak, but he had to use all his strength to push himself forward before he was able to hold onto the vase and fall to the ground, falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.

Three black lines instantly appeared on Mo Yunzhen's forehead!

You stupid woman! Mo Yun said, What if there is a disturbance and people outside are alerted?

Feng Jiu weighed another blue and white porcelain vase in his hand and said disdainfully, Hmph! So what? I am the empress, do you think they would dare to do anything to me?

Humph! Mo Yun Zhen snorted coldly. If you really weren't afraid, then by the time the empress dowager arrived, you would have already revealed yourself … Before he could finish his sentence, Mo Yun was already regretting his decision — Oh no! He said the wrong thing...

Sure enough, when Feng Jiu heard this, he flew into a rage!

Staring fiercely at Mo Yun Zhen, he cursed, Who said I'm afraid of that old granny? I was worried that she would go crazy and take advantage of the time when you were alone to make a move on you, so I hid in the shadows and planned to make a move when she made her move …

Hearing that, Mo Yun Zhen frowned and said disapprovingly, No matter what, she is my mother! Even if the tigers didn't kill them, she still wouldn't personally kill us, would she?"

Feng Jiu's willow-shaped eyebrows trembled. He said, She's not your dog shit empress at all! and almost blurted out … But in the end, Feng Jiu still controlled it!

If possible, she hoped that Mo Yun Zhen would never know the truth! This was because not everyone could accept the truth like this … She did not want to see Mo Yun's painful expression! The image of him in pain appeared in his mind … She couldn't help but feel stifled in her heart.

In short, Feng Jiu said casually, It's best to be careful! One doesn't know the face, but one doesn't know the heart!

Feng Jiu only reminded him of one thing, One doesn't know the face, one doesn't know the heart, and then didn't say anymore. On the other hand, Mo Yun Zhen frowned as he pondered over her words of 'knowing the face but not the heart'. He felt that there was something behind her words, as if she was warning him of something … But he couldn't understand what Feng Jiu wanted to warn him about.

As he was thinking, he heard Feng Jiu change the topic again. That's right! That something called Mistress Yun, why would I help you cure the poison?

Hearing that, Mo Yun Zhen's eyes revealed a look of confusion, This … I don't know! However, I've heard the empress dowager and Yun Zhaoyi speak of it before. It seems that because Mistress Yun requested for her little brother to come to the imperial court to work, the empress dowager agreed to help me cure the poison!"

Working in the imperial court? Feng Jiu was puzzled. Why did you arrange for people to enter the imperial government?

It's over? Mo Yun was truly shocked. He did not know about the relationship between Mistress Cloud and the dead woman.

Feng Jiu thought about it for a moment, and finally told Mo Yunzhen about the sequence of events. However, she concealed the origin of the white dress! After all, if Mo Yun truly knew about it, there was actually a man who looked exactly like him in the cold pond at the bottom of the Imperial Palace … I'm afraid he doesn't know what he'll do! And by doing so, she had harmed Bai Yi!

When Mo Yun Zhen heard Feng Jiu's words, the knot in his heart that had been plaguing him for the past few days was finally resolved in an instant. It turned out that Feng Jiu and that man called Bai Yi went to the Apricot Flower Hall together in order to get Mo Yun Zhen the antidote!

CHAPTER 203 - NEW MASTER SU

As he thought of this, Mo Yunzhen's heart instantly softened. As he looked at Feng Jiu, a trace of gentleness rippled through his black eyes.

Bridge … Mo Yun Zhen held Feng Jiu in his arms familiarly and said gently, I didn't think that you would suffer so much for my sake! I … This is really too inappropriate …"

Feng Jiu raised his eyebrows and said with confusion, "What do you mean you shouldn't? The corpse poison in your body wasn't something you administered yourself. It was someone else who administered it to you.

… Mo Yun was ashamed! That was close. Just now, he had almost admitted to it that he had been exposed!

Ugh … In order to conceal the guilty look on his face, Mo Yun hurriedly lowered his head and used his face to rub her black hair affectionately, I only feel that I am a man, yet I let my beloved woman run about for me and suffer so much for me … I feel very uncomfortable …

His tone turned cold as he spoke. I didn't expect that the empress dowager would …

Just now, he had said 'the tiger will not eat the prey'. He had thought that the empress dowager wouldn't be so heartless! He hadn't expected that besides his own life, this old woman only had royal authority. No one else would be worthy of her regard!

Therefore, Feng Jiu warned him, In the future, you must be more vigilant against this damned old granny. You must not let down your guard! In her heart, you aren't her biological son, so why do you have to take her as your biological mother?

Mo Yunzhen's face turned dark and he nodded his head heavily, I understand! Don't worry, Bridge …"

At this moment, from the corner of his eyes, Feng Jiu saw the steaming water bucket. Only now did he remember that Mo Yun really needed a bath …

Bridge … Mo Yunzhen saw Feng Jiu's gaze on the bathtub. He could not help but become dubious. His voice was rough and filled with the aura of desire.

Stop! Feng Jiu quickly stopped him and rolled his eyes. This man had already become like this, yet his mind was still thinking about that sort of thing … Ugh …

The next day, in the throne room.

Today was the morning assembly of Mo Yunzhen, who had recovered from her illness. Dressed in a dragon robe, Mo Yunzhen was in high spirits and exuded an overbearing aura. Step by step, he walked up to the dragon throne and sat down.

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

Everyone kneeled down and kowtowed.

Everyone, please rise! Mo Yun said. At this moment, Mo Yun Zhen was shocked to discover that the empress dowager was also seated at the side.

Mo Yun Zhen hurried to pay his respects to the empress dowager. Only now did Mo Yunzhen realize that ever since he had been poisoned by the corpse and fell ill, the empress had suddenly disappeared. Thus, all the major matters and minor matters within the imperial court had been dealt with by the empress dowager herself! Thus, in his heart, Mo Yunzhen respected this old granny who was growing up and truly doting on her grandson.

Get up! Your majesty! The empress dowager looked at Mo Yun Zhen and smiled. The emperor has caught a cold in the past few days, he's finally cured! Your majesty, you have to cherish your dragon body! You can't get sick again … The empress dowager's words held some meaning.

Mo Yun Zhen's eyes flickered, and said hurriedly, Yes! Empress Dowager! We will follow the Empress Dowager's teachings!

However, he didn't know this time, how did he get poisoned by the corpse poison? He clearly remembered that he had never come into contact with anyone suspicious. Even every mouthful of water and every mouthful of food he drank every day … There were servants who had tested for poison. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have been poisoned!

The empress dowager nodded in satisfaction. That's good! Right, your majesty! In the past few days, you've been sick and didn't know what happened in the court! This Dowager took the initiative to bestow a new title, Master Jing Zhao Yin Su! Then, the empress dowager began to praise Sir Su without end!

It turned out that the empress dowager's new 'deal' with Lord Su had forced the empress dowager to hesitate when she bestowed the title to him. She was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle the 'trade' between the empress dowager and the empress.

He did not expect Lord Su to deal with three major matters in the capital within three days of taking office. These three big matters had been the three problems that had troubled the previous Jing Zhaoyin! He did not expect that the moment Sir Su took office, these three big problems would be easily solved by him! He made the commoners praise him endlessly, and made the ministers and empress dowager have a whole new level of respect for him!

Thus, the empress dowager truly liked and admired this Lord Su from the bottom of her heart! He wanted to wait for Prime Minister Lin to abdicate before bestowing the title of Prime Minister to Lord Su!

Hearing this, Mo Yun was very happy! After all, with such a talent appearing in the imperial court and under his command, he was as excited and expectant as the empress dowager!

Empress Dowager, Mo Yun couldn't help but say impatiently, Then may the Empress Dowager allow Lord Su to ascend to the palace so that I can take a look! I will reward him well as well!

The empress dowager smiled and nodded before speaking to the attendant. Sir Xuan Su, please enter the palace!

In next to no time, Lord Su who was waiting outside the great hall's door swiftly walked into the throne room with his head lowered.

When Lord Su arrived in front of Mo Junzhen, Mo Yunzhen saw that although he had lowered his head, from his appearance, it could be seen that he was only in his early twenties – this made Mo Yunzhen even happier!

He didn't expect that this Sir Su would have such accomplishments at such a young age. Looks like he'll surely become an important official in the court in the future and become his right-hand man!

So you're Lord Su! Mo Yun Zhen smiled and said, Lift your head up and let us have a look!

Hearing this, Lord Su slowly raised his head and looked Mo Yunzhen in the eye.

The moment he saw Lord Su's face, Mo Yunzhen was shocked and almost fell off his Dragon Throne.

Su Qiu Yuan? How could it be him?

This humble subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Su Qiu Yuan calmly kowtowed to Mo Yun Zhen.

Mo Yun Zhen looked at him in shock, unable to recover from his shock for a long time … It was actually Su Qiu Yuan! Mo Yun Zhen suddenly remembered that Su Qiu Yuan was the younger brother of the woman who cured him. She was the one who begged the empress dowager to send Su Qiu Yuan to the imperial court … But did Su Qiu Yuan still have a sister?

If Su Qiu Yuan and Su Qiu Xi had such a strong sister, would they still need to work so hard to earn some money by setting up a stall on the street?

The more Mo Yun thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss …

Your Majesty! Your majesty! The empress dowager saw Mo Yunzhen staring blankly at Su Qiu Yuan and couldn't help feeling perplexed. Your majesty, what's wrong? Could it be that you've seen this Lord Su? "

Mo Yunzhen's body stiffened! If he replied that he had seen Su Qiu Yuan, he would have to tell the empress dowager everything that had happened … But in this way, Feng Jiu's reputation would be tarnished … Thus, after pondering for a moment, Mo Yun made up his mind!

Mo Yunzhen smiled at the empress dowager. The empress dowager is joking! This is the first time I've seen Sir Su today! Then, he excitedly said to the empress dowager, Empress Dowager, I heard that Lord Su dealt with the three great problems in the capital as soon as he took office. I'm very curious and would like to speak with you privately. May I know …

CHAPTER 204 - SECRETS

Sure! The empress dowager was overjoyed. Of course you can! As long as you can see the peace and harmony between your subjects, we will properly govern this country together! My heart, is filled with joy!

As the empress dowager spoke, she merrily led the officials out of the throne room.

In an instant, only Mo Yunzhen and Su Qiu Yuan were left in the enormous throne room.

Once the empress dowager and the others left, Mo Yunzhen's expression darkened.

Humph! Mo Yun Zhen stared at Su Qiu Yuan who was standing on the golden brick floor and said coldly, Su Qiu Yuan! Why are you here? What is your relationship with the Lady Boss of the Apricot Flower Hall? What exactly is the plot between you and her?

Su Qiu Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled. Your majesty! You have misunderstood this humble subject! It wasn't easy for this humble subject to find an opportunity to become an official, work for the emperor, and work for the commoners … This humble subject's goal is to assist the Emperor and become a useful person! Why would the Emperor accuse this humble subject of conspiracy? "

Humph! Mo Yun Zhen sneered, Still trying to quibble! Look at your mouth, it's much more crafty than before, and you still dare to say that you don't have any schemes? Su Qiu Yuan, I'm warning you, you'd better tell me honestly now. What exactly is the conspiracy between you and the Lady Boss of the Apricot Flower Hall? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!

Your majesty! Su Qiu Yuan's expression remained unchanged. A faint smile rippled across his handsome and bookish face. You've really misunderstood this humble subject … If the emperor is still worried, then the emperor will go see the empress dowager and tell her to dismiss this humble subject from his post …

Mo Yun scoffed. Don't use the empress dowager to oppress me! Do you think I don't dare? Whose world was this? Whose imperial power was it? What, do you think it's from the empress dowager?

Su Qiu Yuan's expression abruptly changed when he heard this, and he immediately shut his mouth tightly, but his expression was unsightly to the extreme.

He did not expect Mo Yunzhen to say such words, and Mistress Cloud had never told him either. If Mo Yun really said those words, how would he refute Mo Yunzhen … For a time, Su Qiu Yuan was speechless and silent.

Mo Yun Zhen suddenly stood up and walked down from the Dragon Throne with a dignified appearance. He coldly glanced at Su Qiu Yuan and said in a deep voice, You have come to us to wait here! I'll go see the empress dowager right now!

After he finished speaking, Mo Yun Zhen quickly walked out of the throne room, intending to catch up to the Empress Dowager.

Mo Yun Zhen chased her all the way to the imperial garden before finally catching up to the empress dowager.

Mo Yunzhen saw the empress dowager standing by a rock garden alone, admiring a bunch of peony flowers that were in full bloom. Meanwhile, all the attendants by the empress dowager's side had disappeared. No one knew where they'd gone!

Mo Yun really wanted to quickly walk up to the empress dowager.

Suddenly, the empress dowager's cold gaze swept over!

Mo Yun was truly shocked. She subconsciously hid behind a large tree!

He then quietly poked his head out and carefully looked over. He saw that the empress dowager's gaze was cold and alert. After glancing around, she turned around and touched a spot on the fake mountain.

With a series of ka ka sounds, the mechanism of the fake mountain was activated! A crack appeared in the rock, and the rock gradually began to move towards both sides of the mountain. A moment later, a dark tunnel appeared in front of the empress dowager.

Mo Yun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets! He looked around and saw that the black hole had its back to the wall of the Jade Spring Palace!

Mo Yun was enlightened! So this black hole was directly connected to the Jade Spring Palace! But, in the Palace of Tzu An, didn't they have a way to get to the Palace of Jade Spring? Why did the empress dowager make such a detour?

Mo Yun was puzzled... However, his strong curiosity still forced him to quietly follow closely behind the empress dowager and enter the black hole.

Sure enough, as he had expected, he followed the black hole all the way to the bottom of the Jade Spring Palace, right in front of the imprisoned mysterious old man.

Mo Yun Zhen was still hiding in the shadows, holding his breath.

When the empress dowager saw the old man, she said faintly, You guessed right! Karma and reincarnation didn't respond well! Now, this one has truly received my retribution …"

Mo Yun really raised an eyebrow and was completely confused by what he heard.

The old man gave a cold snort and slightly opened one of his eyes. An extremely cold light was emitted from within, If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have done it this way! However, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This is also their fate, whether or not you changed their fate back then, with their personalities, there will still be no good results in the end! "

Mo Yun could tell that although this old man spoke coldly and impolitely to the empress dowager, his words still carried a hint of concern!

Sure enough, when the empress dowager heard this, she gave a wry smile. You don't have to comfort This Dowager … If it wasn't for This Dowager interfering, perhaps …

Mo Yun's ears perked up, but when the empress dowager said the word perhaps at the most crucial moment, she suddenly stopped. Mo Yun was truly disappointed — even after listening for half a day, he was still completely confused!

The old man was silent for a moment before he asked coldly, Then what do you plan to do? Could it be that you want to kill him to make up for all these years?

Even if we kill him, can we make up for it? Moreover, it has been more than 20 years, and I already have feelings for this child! I can't afford to use such a ruthless method! In the end, he let out a long sigh.

A glint flashed across Mo Yunzhen's eyes. More than 20 years! Who was the person the empress dowager spoke of? It was as if the empress dowager was the one who arranged for this person to survive! And now, this person was a threat to the empress dowager. Thus, the empress dowager had the intention of taking his life …

Who was this person? Could it be … Instantly, a face appeared in his mind.

Humph! The old man mocked, You can't afford to kill me like that? Looks like you really are old! In the past, you would never have said that! Every time you kill someone, you don't even blink... I never thought that you'd really change and become an old buddha …"

CHAPTER 205 - IF YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT PLEASE LET US HAVE IT

The empress dowager smiled wryly. That's right! Now, I am becoming softer and softer, but you are becoming harder and harder …"

The old man abruptly opened his eyes and glared coldly at the empress dowager, his fury unable to be quelled. What right do you have to say those words to me now? Did you forget that for you, I … But what did you do to me in the end?

However, the empress dowager calmly looked at him and said, That's right! I'm sorry …"

The empress dowager's words suddenly sealed the old man's mouth.

He thought that after all these years, all he wanted was to hear her tell him herself! But now, as proud as she was, who never bowed her head to anyone and would never say sorry to anyone, she finally lowered her head in front of him and said those words …

He should be very excited, very satisfied, very ecstatic … Isn't it? But why, suddenly hearing her say this to him, did he feel a sense of emptiness... His heart was empty, as if someone had gouged a knife out somewhere in an instant. Other than feeling the piercing pain, there was also an empty emptiness … His heart seemed to have become empty …

Alright, alright! To cover himself, the old man said hoarsely, Speak! What do you want me to do for you?

But the empress dowager stared at him darkly, shaking her head. You're wrong! This time, I'm not here to ask you to do anything! I truly want to say 'I'm sorry' to you …"

Hearing this, the old man felt that he couldn't take it anymore. Ye Zichen rolled his eyes, "Alright! I already told you not to incite any more feelings! Rolo trembled. Was it over? I heard that the empress dowager and her son were poisoned with corpse poison. What?

Mo Yun truly fainted... Was this old man joking? Was the emperor's empress dowager the one who poisoned his body? This was too bizarre!

The empress dowager was puzzled. Why do you think it was This Dowager who poisoned them with corpse poison?

Humph! The old man said in a low voice, Don't forget, what is your true identity …

When the empress dowager heard this, she fell silent for a moment before continuing, Of course I won't forget! However, the corpse poison that they had been poisoned with was not from This Dowager! However, no matter what, This Dowager must investigate this matter strictly! If anyone dares to go against This Dowager, secretly poison the empress dowager and the Emperor … This Dowager will not be merciful!

Mo Yun Zhen was shocked! It looks like even though he and the corpse poison weren't administered by the empress dowager, there was a connection between the person who poisoned the body and the empress dowager! The old man just said that the empress dowager had other identities … Could it be that the empress dowager's true identity was on the same side as the person who poisoned them with the corpse poison?

That's right! The old man said coldly, It's time for you to properly investigate your people …

The old man's words further confirmed Mo Yunzhen's suspicions.

The old man then continued, You carried the Emperor and arranged for Su Qiu Yuan to go to the Imperial Court without permission. You even took a seat in the Imperial Court … Could it be that you're not afraid of this unknown Su Qiu Yuan having a black hand behind his back?"

But the empress dowager only laughed absent-mindedly. Have you forgotten? This old man was not afraid of anything, what he liked the most was to rush into the tiger cave and rob the tiger! Of course I know. This Su Qiu Yuan's origins are unknown, and it's not just him, but also Mistress Cloud who is suspicious as well … However, This Dowager likes to let things stand, so let's invite the king into their trap. This Dowager would like to see just what kind of plans they have to come up with!

Mo Yun really raised his eyebrows … So it turned out that the empress dowager knew everything! Originally he was worried that the empress dowager had been deceived by Su Qiu Yuan! He didn't expect that Su Qiu Yuan had been deceived by the empress dowager!

It looks like 'old ginger is indeed spicier'!

Immediately afterwards, the empress dowager and the old man said something else that was neither painful nor itchy. However, Mo Yunzhen did not pay attention to their idle chatter. His heart had already drifted away as he was immersed in his earlier shock.

Mo Yun Zhen silently emerged from the black hole and returned to the imperial garden. Finally, he returned to the imperial study alone, his mind filled with worries.

The Chief Eunuch looked at him with a preoccupied expression, wanting to speak but then hesitating.

Mo Yunzhen casually asked, What's the matter?

Go back to the Emperor! Sir Su … We're still waiting for the Emperor in the throne room! The Chief Eunuch was filled with suspicion. Just now in the throne room, when Mo Yun heard the empress dowager mention Lord Su, he was actually very happy and excited … But in the blink of an eye, Mo Yun had truly turned into this. Furthermore, he had forgotten about Lord Su in the throne room …

Mo Yun was suddenly enlightened. Oh … So it's like that … Go and pass down the decree to Lord Su, tell him that I'm tired and I want to rest! If he has anything he wants to say to me, let's talk about it tomorrow morning! "

Feng Jiu took off his cape and handed it to Zhu'er, smiling as he said, "That's enough! Look at all of you, you're all like little bitches! I'm just going out for a walk! Staying in the Palace all day long is too boring... How about this, Pearl, the next time I wander out of the palace, I'll take you with me.

Hearing this, Zhu'er's eyes lit up, all her worries and complaints flew to Java.

Sure, sure! Your servant is willing to leave the palace with esteemed empress …

When Feng Jiu saw that she was so happy that she didn't even jump three feet high, he couldn't help but smile. The smile on his face became more and more understanding.

Today, she left the palace and snuck into the Apricot Flower Hall. Her main purpose today was to follow and uncover the secret behind Mistress Yun! But the sad truth was — she had been hiding in the Apricot Flower Hall for an entire day, but she still hadn't found any trace of Mistress Yun! He also did not see anything wrong with the Apricot Flower Hall! As usual, they opened their doors to do business. The guests coming and going were also some of the nobles in the capital!
