The Prince Misses His Princess - C48 can be allied
As Su Mu Qing watched Su Mulang’s retreating figure, he felt that this child must have really brought some incredible news from the palace. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so pleased with himself.
However, the chef at the Duke’s Mansion was extremely quick, in the time they took to burn incense and kowtow, Zhang Rui had already started setting the table.
Since the two brothers were eating, there was naturally no lack of wine. Since Jiang Wanyan was concerned about it, she did not listen to what the two of them said. She first shouted for Yu Yan to pour her a cup.
This wine was not as strong as the last time. Jiang Wanyan smacked her lips and smacked her lips. The taste of this wine was quite fragrant; it was quite delicious.
After three cups of wine were drunk, Jiang Wanyan finally put the cup down with a smile and listened to the two of them.
Actually, the matter of my mother being unwell was true at the beginning, but after that, she recovered. She pretended to be unwell, and told me to stay in the palace for two more days. Su Mulang’s breakthrough point was a little strange, as the moment he came, he turned Imperial Consort Zheng’s illness upside down.
Pretending to be sick? Why are you pretending to be sick?
Su Mu Qing frowned. He had already understood the situation, but he did not interrupt.
When you were treating my mother on the first day, when you were casually chatting, I don’t know what happened either. I just blurted out what you told me earlier in a daze anyways, I didn’t mean to say it, but my mother was listening seriously, and I caught that sentence in an instant. Su Mulang paused for a moment, then was interrupted by the servant girl behind him who was serving the dishes.
The dishes were served one after another, and there were many servants waiting on them in the house. Su Mu Qing indicated for Su Mulang not to say anything in a hurry, it was still too early to eat something to fill his stomach.
Thus, they started to chat about other things. The cook had performed exceptionally well today, and Jiang Wan Yan’s favorite mushroom stewed chicken was extremely delicious. When Yu Yan gave her the second bowl of soup, the dishes were finally ready.
“All of you may leave. There is no need for anyone to wait on you here.” Su Mu Qing instructed, he then looked at Yu Yan and Zhang Rui, and added, “The two of you go down.”
Zhang Rui nodded, then called Yu Yan and left.
Now that there was no one else around, Su Mu Qing lowered his chopsticks slightly. “Are you talking about the matter of me helping you seize the throne?”
Su Mulang nodded his head, but he felt a little embarrassed: “Actually, I had never thought about it myself. If I leaked the thought out, then I would be afraid of mother scolding me.
“That Imperial Consort Zheng is her.” Su Mu Qing was a little nervous. He was afraid that the Imperial Consort Zheng would misunderstand that she was going to use the Zheng Family and Su Mulang as allies.
However, Su Mulang had always said that it was good news, so the Imperial Consort Zheng probably didn’t think too much of it.
My mother, she was just scared, and told me not to spout nonsense. There were spies everywhere in the palace, and fortunately, there were no people around at that time, so we did not continue to chat about this matter. I was also considering whether to change the topic, but who knows when mother would suddenly ask about your situation. Su Mulang explained in detail, while Jiang Wan Yan listened nervously on the side.
“That’s right, I told him everything I know. The mother had a terrible headache at that time, and after listening for a long time, he did not say anything. After that, he drank some medicine and fell asleep, and even told me to not leave the palace in a hurry and stay in the palace.” Su Mulang stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and even made eye contact with Su Mu Qing and Jiang Wan Yan, “This meat is really delicious, you guys try it.”
“And then?” Su Mu Qing didn’t have the mood to eat meat, but Jiang Wan Yan obediently picked up a piece of meat and ate it. It was indeed very delicious.
“Later. When I went back the next day, mother was already fine. However, she still announced that she was sick, because no one would be able to disturb her. She said that if you were willing to help me get the throne, Zheng Family would agree to an alliance. ” Su Mulang said this quickly. After he finished speaking, the worry in Su Mu Qing’s heart had finally dropped.
“But my mother should have already investigated you, don’t mind me, she is already used to being cautious, if she wants to find trouble with you, she will have to weigh the weight of our Zheng Family, but my mother said, we cannot be too obvious, let me be what I am originally, this matter still needs to be considered carefully.” Su Mulang spoke a lot and finally explained everything that he wanted to say clearly.
“Naturally, we have to consider things from a long-term perspective.” Su Mu Qing laughed, “Do you want to be an Emperor?”
When Su Mulang heard this, he did not know why he suddenly became bashful. He glanced at Jiang Wan Yan, and laughed in a low voice: “It doesn’t matter what I do, even if I say it out loud, I’m not afraid of your jokes. But my mother said it, if Su Muchang becomes the emperor, he will definitely not let us go, especially you, how can I ignore you? “And …”
He paused for a long time before he stammered out, “And he became emperor. Cheng Jiayue will listen to me, I will marry whoever I tell her to! ”
Jiang Wanyan almost vomited.
After all this time, she still had that thought hidden inside, but that’s right, that unruly Cheng Jiayue, she would only listen to him if he became the emperor.
Su Mu Qing laughed out loud: “I don’t think Mr. Yongping is willing to marry Jiayue so quickly. Furthermore, I feel that Mr. Yongping has always liked you a lot, and most of it is for you.
Su Mulang nodded his head: “I did not plan to force her, but right now, my thoughts are just to protect her well. If I really want to snatch the throne, then naturally I can’t let others act against her because of my feelings towards her, thus my future path is filled with dangers, it would instead be a good thing for Jiayue.”
Jiang Wanyan also nodded her head repeatedly. These two brothers were really similar in many ways. At the very least, it seemed like they had no reservations of trust towards each other. Such trust and affection appearing in the Imperial Family was very rare.
“Other than Cheng Jiayue, you two should naturally worry about me. Right now, I’m the person with the greatest risk, yet you’re not even going to return my blade to me, causing me to not even have a weapon to defend myself with!”
After being complained by Jiang Wanyan, Su Mu Qing smacked his forehead, “There have been too many things happening recently. I actually forgot about this matter. I thought so.” I’ve already returned that knife to you. “
