It turns out that the person the Queen Mother was concerned about was Han Zifeng?
"Are you still thinking about that little girl? So many years have passed, Han Zifeng must have forgotten the past. It's me, it's me, who has been with you since you were a child! Han Zifeng, why can't you look at me more?"
There was a hint of jealousy and resentment in the other woman's voice.
"That's enough, Madam, please don't mention it again. You are my sister-in-law, and the imperial power is in your hands. You should be content with what you have and treat the Emperor and His Majesty well. They are the people closest to you."
There was determination in Han Zifeng's words. He immediately broke free from the other party's attempts to keep him, strode away, and disappeared among the swaying bamboo shadows.
Soon, the Queen Mother slowly walked out of the bamboo forest. The moonlight shone on her face, reflecting a sense of determination and helplessness.
Yes, the Queen Mother’s feelings for Han Zifeng were real.
It turns out that the reason why Han Zifeng could enter and leave the palace freely was because he was the younger brother of the retired emperor?
After the Queen Mother's figure gradually walked away, Zhao Yu led Ling Mo back.
"It's not a good idea to stay out tonight. Let's find another opportunity."
Returning to the banquet, Zhao Yu said goodbye in a hurry, "I'll leave first, and we'll talk in detail later when we have the chance."
Before Ling Mo could respond, he had blended into the night and disappeared without a trace.
Ling Mohui was about to move forward, but unexpectedly, she met an old acquaintance a few steps away.
"Mohui! Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
As soon as Yuan Fangfang saw Ling Mohui, she rushed over to greet her eagerly.
"Fangfang, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Ling Mohui asked gently.
Yuan Fangfang smiled brightly, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"I came to you because I have something important to tell you."
Ling Mohui was slightly surprised, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Fangfang's eyes swept around gently and cautiously. After making sure that no one was paying attention, she gently took Ling Mohui's hand and led her to a secluded corner.
There, she lowered her voice, as if she didn't want to disturb even the dust in the air: "I learned that you are secretly exploring the truth about your brother's incident. Just a few days ago, my husband accidentally caught a glimpse of the news while participating in a government discussion in the Queen Mother's Palace. It is said that the informant may be a palace maid named Shi'er."
"Shi'er?"
Ling Mohui was shocked and was worrying about where to start, but she didn't expect the clue to come to her.
Gratitude was beyond words, and Ling Mohui's eyes were shining with warmth. She stared at Yuan Fangfang and spoke sincerely: "Fangfang, thank you so much this time."
Yuan Fangfang waved her hand gently, with a firm smile: "It's just a small matter, it's not worth mentioning. Your brother's character is well known to everyone. I don't believe he would do such a thing!"
Ling Mohui's heart tightened, and she asked worriedly: "Does Jin Chengyuan know about this? He probably doesn't want you to get involved, right? After all..."
After all, the two words were not finished, but both of them understood it tacitly.
As a member of the Jin family now, Yuan Fangfang has to consider the family's reputation in every move she makes. She can no longer do whatever she wants like she did in her teenage years.
Yuan Fangfang seemed to see through Ling Mohui's concerns and comforted her, "Don't worry, Chengyuan also thinks that this matter is unfair to your brother. He said that he believes in the character of the Ling family. Even if the whistleblower is found, you will not be too harsh on her."
Ling Mo nodded heavily, her tone firm: "Jin Chengyuan is an upright person, we can trust him. We just want to know the truth and will never let innocent people suffer."
"Then it's settled. I'll be leaving first. Mo will go back. We can find a time to get together alone some other day."
After Yuan Fangfang finished speaking, she turned around and lightly returned to Jin Chengyuan's side.
Ling Mohui looked at Jin Chengyuan from afar and happened to meet his eyes. She nodded slightly, conveying silent gratitude with her eyes.
……
The noise of the palace banquet gradually dissipated, and the crowds retreated like the tide. Ling Mohui followed her father Ling Yuanfu and embarked on the journey home.
However, halfway through, Wei Ruoming's figure appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
"You guys chat slowly, I'll wait for you in front."
Ling Yuanfu left a calm remark and walked towards the palace gate alone.
Ling Mo cast a questioning look at Wei Ruoming: "My Lord, what can I do for you?"
Wei Ruoming looked solemn as he handed her a pass token. "I heard about your brother's situation and I know you are investigating. I have made arrangements with the Heavenly Prison to ensure that your brother will not be treated unfairly. Although outsiders cannot enter for the time being, I have already smoothed the relationship with the inner prison, and the maid named Liu'er is there."
"Thank you."
Ling Mohui took the token, looked up and asked, "When did you return to the capital?"
"When I learned that you had returned, I tried to rush back as soon as possible. I just wanted to see you, and had no other intentions."
Wei Ruoming's words were less frivolous than before and more steady and mature.
Ling Mo smiled and responded: "Life in the borderland is not easy. The prince does seem to have grown up a lot."
"My mother urged me to return to the capital, saying that she wanted to choose a wife for me, but I didn't have anyone in my mind to marry, so I was reluctant to go back."
A hint of stubbornness flashed across Wei Ruoming's handsome face.
Ling Mohui heard this and sighed helplessly: "My Lord, life is long, you must always consider your future and your family."
After saying that, Ling Mohui said no more, turned around and continued walking.
Wei Ruoming looked at her back quietly, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and he did not look away for a long time.
……
As Ling Mohui stepped into the carriage, a young man who looked like a servant approached hurriedly.
"Princess, this is what Master Han asked me to pass on to you."
Ling Mo recognized him at a glance and realized that this person should be Han Zifeng's confidant.
"Thank you!"
She took the letter, and after the servant left, she slowly unfolded the letter, which turned out to be a visiting permit to the inner prison.
It seems that her friends were well aware of her inconvenience and they all lent a hand to help her solve the problem of visiting.
Ling Mohui felt a warm feeling in her heart. It turned out that her luck was not bad.
"lets go!"
Ling Mohui gave a soft order, and the carriage started slowly.
Ling Yuanfu rode his horse at the front of the team. Seeing Ling Mohui catching up, he continued to move forward.
While moving, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Princess, it seems to be Master Zheng Jiaxuan!"
Ling Mohui's heart trembled. Zheng Jiaxuan?
She quickly lifted the car curtain and saw Zheng Jiaxuan in casual clothes, standing on the side of the road with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was waiting there specially.
"Zheng Jiaxuan, come over here quickly!"
Ling Mohui greeted him quickly.
Zheng Jiaxuan strode closer. Ling Mo tilted her head and looked him up and down: "You've become taller and stronger!"
She patted Zheng Jiaxuan's shoulder happily. Watching him grow was like witnessing the transformation of her own brother, and her heart was filled with relief.
"I knew my sister was back, and I've been trying to find a chance to see you, but you're always so busy that I can't find a suitable time."
Zheng Jiaxuan said.
Ling Mohui sighed softly: "I am indeed very busy. When I have time, I will definitely visit you in person."
"Okay, when sister comes, let me know in advance, and I will be well prepared!"
Zheng Jiaxuan promised.
