Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 360 It's Not Simple

The Compassionate Ning Palace also heard the news.

This was so sudden that Nanny Feng hurried inside.

"Empress Dowager, something has happened..."

She told everything that happened in the previous dynasty.

They didn't know about Rufei's attack on the brothel girl.

And Rufei never told them.

The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered that Concubine Ru suddenly went out of the palace to meet Xiao Nanchen that night, could it be because of this?

Because the Queen Mother didn't know about this, her face turned slightly cold, and she quickly returned to normal. She blew on the tea foam, took a sip of tea, and said.

"Don't worry, this matter won't cause any disturbances. Could it be that the emperor will move Concubine Ru because of a woman from a brothel?"

"In this capital city, all the lines are connected to every place, and one hair can affect the whole body. The emperor is not so stupid."

When Nanny Feng heard the words, seeing the empress dowager's unruffled expression, she felt a little relieved.

After half a quarter of an hour, he came here again.

"Empress Dowager, Master Cai is asking to see you outside."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Could it be that Cai Kang came to look for her because of the incident in the court today?
That's just a trivial matter, Cai Kang is not a person who can't hold his breath.

"Please come in."

Cai Kang walked into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and looked at the woman sitting on the terrace. He is now over fifty years old, with half-white hair on his temples, but the woman on the terrace seems to have not changed much, except that when he looked closely, he could see some fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

"See the Queen Mother."

The queen mother waved her hand: "Get up, why did you come to see me today? Could it be because of the matter in the court today?"

Cai Kang lowered his head: "Exactly."

When the queen mother heard this, she sneered: "You are not a person who can't hold your breath, but you are just a brothel woman, and the brothel woman is fine, so this matter can't cause any big disturbances."

"The minister knows, but...the minister came because of this matter, but not because of this matter."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

The Queen Mother glanced over.

Cai Kang slowly told the Queen Mother clearly what Xiao Nanzhu said to himself today.

"Weichen is really worried, this Xiao Nanzhu is plausible, could it be...he knows what Ru'er did..."

Before the words were finished, the Queen Mother had already spoken out coldly.

"impossible."

Cai Kang shut his mouth.

The Queen Mother continued: "There are not many people who know about this matter, but Xiao Nanzhu has no reason to know about Aijia and you."

Cai Kang frowned and thought about it, Xiao Nanzhu really couldn't know.

It is impossible for him to tell these things, it is indeed reckless to enter the palace to meet.

This will make the Queen Mother feel that he thinks what she said in his heart.

Cai Kang said some more polite words, and then resigned.

Nanny Feng frowned: "Empress Dowager, how could Lord Xiao know about this? We only told General Xiao about this."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, her face gradually becoming worried.

"Perhaps it's not necessarily what Xiao Nanchen said."

"But in the past few days, General Xiao hasn't been out of the house for a long time, and he is drunk in the house every day. Obviously he intends to hide this matter."

The queen narrowed her eyes.

She decided to tell Xiao Nanchen because she was betting that Xiao Nanchen would not tell the story.

She didn't know how Xiao Nanzhu knew about this, but according to Xiao Nanzhu's temperament, this matter would never be let go.

It's time for her to think about it. When the Dong Chuang incident happens, how should she protect Rufei's life.

It can't be because of this incident that the relationship with the Cai family has deteriorated.

In this way, the gains outweigh the losses.

—

When Xiao Yueyao heard this, she also frowned.

"Second elder brother, you and Mrs. Cai have torn faces directly in the hall, and the fuse is Rufei?"

Green Spring nodded.

Xiao Yueyao continued to ask: "Does elder brother know about this?"

Lu Chun shook her head: "Madam, this servant thinks that the young master doesn't know that the young master hasn't been out of the house recently, so he locked himself in the house."

Since the last time I met Rufei, Xiao Nanchen hadn't gone out again.

Concubine Ru also said that she could not get sick.

The second brother Xiao had a dispute with Master Cai on the spot because of Rufei.

She always thought that this was just a matter between elder brother and concubine Ru, how could the Cai family and Xiao family be involved.

This matter is not as simple as she thought.

"If there is any movement recently, remember to tell this palace immediately, and also, send a letter to the second brother."

Xiao Yueyao wrote a letter to Xiao Nanzhu, but did not receive a reply to that letter.

Sure enough, three days later, another accident happened.

Xiao Nanzhu took Wang Tangwu to see Ye Mohan directly in the imperial study.

At this time, Cai Kang had just come back from court, and when he heard about this, he felt that Xiao Nanzhu's request to see His Majesty must be related to Concubine Ru, so he hurriedly boarded the carriage and rushed over.

Before he could approach, Eunuch Li took a step forward and stood in front of him.

"Lord Cai, Lord Xiao is inside. If Lord Cai wants to see His Majesty, please wait a moment."

Why is Cai Kang willing to wait any longer, "Eunuch Li, please go and give me a message now, I will see Your Majesty now!"

Eunuch Li remained motionless, still standing where he was.

Cai Kang made a noise for a while, and the door suddenly opened from the inside.

It was Wang Tangwu who opened the door.

And Xiao Nanzhu was standing behind, with a gentle smile on his face, but this face fell into Cai Kang's eyes at the moment, but he felt that it was unusually unworthy of beating.

He clenched his hands into fists, endured it, and restrained himself from rushing up to grab Xiao Nanzhu's collar.

He narrowed his eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Nanzhu, what did you say to His Majesty?"

Xiao Nanzhu sneered, lowered his head slightly, and then raised it again. He said with a smile, "It just so happens that Lord Cai is here. I think His Majesty would be happy to chat with Lord Cai."

Cai Kang's heart sank and his eyes narrowed.

Xiao Nanzhu left directly with Wang Tangwu.

Eunuch Li glanced at Cai Kang, turned around and walked in.

It came out again after a while.

"My lord, you can go in."

Cai Kang's face was pale, and he snorted coldly before stepping in and knelt down.

"See Your Majesty..."

With a sound, the oppressive silence was restored in the hall.

Ye Mohan raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said straightforwardly: "Aiqing, guess what Xiao Aiqing said to me just now?"

A layer of sweat broke out on Cai Kang's back instantly.

"Wei... I don't know, I don't know!"

"Oh, I don't know?" Ye Mo smiled coldly, and then said leisurely: "That's right, this matter was not done by Ai Qing, how could Ai Qing know about it, you have to ask the person involved."

Cai Kang was startled, hesitated for a while before asking: "Mo, could it be Ru'er's business?"

Ye Mohan didn't speak again.

Cai Kang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have not trusted that villain. Ru'er would never do such a thing, she would never do such a thing... Please check clearly, Your Majesty!"
