Shocked, the idiot's daughter drove a fighter jet to the battlefield

Chapter 175 Furong Appears at the Palace Banquet

Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother was a little surprised to see Nan Mo and Crown Prince Gong Jin coming together, but she was more happy.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, the prince stood up, said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and prepared to go to Changqiu Palace.

Before leaving, the Queen Mother suddenly said, "Jin'er, spend more time with your uncle and aunt in the future. The country of Daxia will eventually be handed over to you."

"My grandson will remember the teachings of my grandmother."

Gong Jin then bowed to Nan Mo and left Shoukang Palace.

Wen Xiang was taken out by a maid to guard outside the hall. At this moment, only Nan Mo and the empress dowager were left in the hall.

"Mo'er, is there something important that you want to talk to me about?"

Nan Mo nodded, "I want to know about the wife of Marquis Anyang."

"Rong Qiao?"

The Queen Mother looked at her in confusion, "Rong Qiao is a disciple from outside the mountain of Moshan. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for many years."

"She didn't come to the palace to see you?"

"He used to come to see me from time to time, but since the queen entered the palace, he has rarely come. In addition, I worship Buddha and don't want to see many people. Over time, Rong Qiao rarely comes to the palace."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows moved slightly, "Did something happen?"

"Recently, the two daughters of Marquis Anyang have been going to Kunning Palace quite frequently."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, "Is there a problem?"

"It's not clear yet."

Nan Mo's answer confused the Queen Mother for a moment, and she wondered, "Maybe the two children have reached the right age to get married, so they want to spend more time with the Queen."

Nan Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip. "That's not impossible."

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, she continued, "Are there any other disciples from outside Moshan Mountain in the capital?"

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, and she said in a low voice, "There should be more, but I handed all these matters over to Rong Sheng, the eunuch Rong who served Lao Jiu. All matters related to Moshan are now taken over by him."

Nan Mo nodded slightly, "Then I will leave the palace and go to Prince You's Mansion later."

At this moment, Gong Chenyu came in from the entrance of the palace hall and said, "Your son pays his respects to the queen mother."

"Hurry up, but the palace banquet has started?"

"Well, my brother has already gone."

"Then you should go quickly too."

"The Queen Mother is not going?" Nan Mo asked casually as she stood up.

"I won't join in the fun, you guys go ahead."

Coming out of Shoukang Palace, Nan Mo seemed a little absent-minded.

Gong Chenyu held her hand and asked with concern, "What are you thinking about?"

"When did the Queen Mother start to stop caring about worldly affairs and focus on copying Buddhist scriptures and worshipping Buddha?"

"It should be after the old national teacher passed away."

Nan Mo was quite surprised to hear this answer. She was wondering if the empress dowager started to worship Buddha after the death of the late emperor. It turned out that it was even earlier than this.

"Then doesn't it mean that when the Queen Mother was still the Queen, she had already started to worship Buddha and not take care of trivial matters in the harem?"

Gong Chenyu nodded, "I remember when I was little, besides worshipping Buddha, she would tell me about Moshan and the goddess. I didn't think much of it at the time, but later, as I grew up, I realized that my mother missed her hometown, Moshan."

Nan Mo did not respond immediately. The corners of her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a deep thought.

"what happened?"

Hearing Gong Chenyu's concerned voice, Nan Mo shook her head slightly and closed her eyes, "It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking."

After a pause, he continued, "I want to see Eunuch Rong after I leave the palace."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

-

When the two arrived at Changqiu Palace, the palace banquet had indeed begun.

There was a girl in a pink dress dancing in the center of the hall. Then the two of them quietly returned to their seats and sat down without letting the eunuch know.

Since the last palace banquet, the people in the palace have been sensible enough to arrange Nan Mo's position next to Gong Chenyu, which is also the place closest to the upper position.

The emperor gestured to the two of them and raised his wine glass to clink them in the air.

Nan Mo took a sip of the fruit wine in the glass and glanced at the queen beside her.

The Queen held up the wine glass and smiled at her, seemingly the same as usual, but Nan Mo keenly noticed that the Queen's smile did not reach her eyes.

Especially her crescent eyes, which used to be very charming when she smiled, but today she seemed absent-minded and perfunctory.

This made her even more certain that there was something wrong with the Anyang Marquis Mansion, and it was a big problem.

Crown Prince Gong Jin's gaze fell on Nan Mo at this time. He knew that Nan Mo had noticed his mother's emotions, but it was not appropriate to say much at the palace banquet.

Clearly, when he left Kunning Palace, his mother was the same as usual, with nothing unusual happening.

But when I returned to the palace banquet, I found that something was wrong with my mother.

When Nan Mo withdrew her gaze, hers met Gong Jin's. The two of them just exchanged glances and their eyes did not meet again.

"Mo'er knows Gong Jin?"

Gong Chenyu suddenly leaned close and whispered.

Nan Mo listened to the sour tone and raised her eyebrows helplessly, "He called me Auntie Huang today."

Gong Chenyu didn't expect Nan Mo to answer like this, and his expression changed for a moment, "I just asked casually."

Then he picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp to cover up his embarrassment.

Just then, Songzhu came behind him and whispered something.

The next moment, there seemed to be a storm surging in the depths of Gong Chenyu's eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

After Song Zhu left, before Nan Mo could speak, he whispered, "The Furong from Yingchun Tower that you mentioned earlier, disguised herself as a maid and followed the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anyang Mansion into the palace. She is now at the palace banquet."

Nan Mo frowned, "Since she has a connection with Anyang Marquis' Mansion, why does she want Li Man to marry into the mansion?"

"I'm not sure about that for now. But since we're in the main hall, the fox's tail will eventually show up."

"You were in Chongzheng Palace at that time. Did the emperor mention to you that the women of Anyang Marquis's Mansion have been frequently visiting the harem to see the queen recently?"

Gong Chenyu nodded, "Your father knew about it first. In the past two days, your father often went to the palace to discuss this matter with the emperor. He also secretly sent people to check the Marquis's Mansion, but did not find anything unusual. It seems that the Marquis's daughters really have reached the right age for marriage, and he wants them to have more contact with the queen so that he can find a good home for them."

"Where's the wife of Marquis Anyang? There's nothing unusual about her, too?"

When Nan Mo picked up the wine glass and drank it, he casually glanced in the direction of Anyang Marquis' Mansion.

But Furong was not seen. She came as the personal maid of the Marquis's daughter and was blocked by the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, Lan Xueying.

Gong Chenyu said at this time, "We haven't found anything about the wife of the Marquis of Anyang. She has always claimed that she is in poor health. She has hardly left her home in the past two years. The old lady has been in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion for two years."

"In the past two years?"

"Well, Rong Sheng had someone check it out before, and the results showed that Madam Anyang is indeed weak and can only rest."

Nan Mo put down the wine glass in her hand, frowned slightly, and her phoenix eyes were filled with doubt.

After a while, she suddenly looked at Gong Chenyu, "Is it possible that the person who was announced to be recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion is not the real Anyang Marquis's wife Rong Qiao?"
