Chapter 149 Could it be Chen Yunjing

"Jing'er, you...you..." Concubine Shu opened her mouth, her voice trembled slightly. Her eyes as if they were smoke and fog were staring at Chen Yunjing tightly. After a while, she asked in a low voice: "Where did you hear this?"

Chen Yunjing looked at his mother's reaction and understood most of the time. After he was silent for a moment, he said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just saw it in a book."

After saying that, he walked out of Ruyu Palace without looking back.

The moment he came out of the room, the sunlight outside was a little dazzling. He raised his head and slightly blocked the sunlight above his head with his fingers. For some reason, his eyes felt a little sore and swollen.

When leaving the palace, Chen Yunjing didn't expect to see Chen Yunyu at the entrance of the palace.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, gently patted Chen Yunyu on the shoulder, and said with some confusion in his voice: "Brother?"

Chen Yunyu turned around, looked at Chen Yunjing, and smiled slightly and said, "Have you seen your concubine Shu?"

"Well..." Chen Yunjing responded softly, then looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Are you going to see the emperor? Why did you come out so quickly?"

Chen Yunyu smiled helplessly when he heard this, and said, "The emperor announced that the fourth prince had discussed state affairs. He may not have time to summon me today. In addition, my father is also in the meeting hall, so the emperor asked me to come back first."

"Oh..." Chen Yunjing nodded and stopped talking.

Chen Yunyu looked at him with some surprise and said, "You haven't seen your mother for a long time, why did you come out so soon? Didn't you both talk?"

"There is nothing to talk about." Chen Yunjing said to Chen Yunyu with a faint expression: "Maybe I haven't said much for too long. For a moment, I didn't know what to say. There should be no mother and son in the world who can get along like us."

Chen Yunyu listened to his words and sighed a long time, reached out and patted his shoulder gently, without saying a word.

The two of them walked silently towards the carriage parked outside the palace.

After both of them got on the carriage, Chen Yunjing sat in the swaying carriage, recalling his mother's eyes when she heard the saying "The mountains and rivers are foreign, and the wind and moon are the same", she couldn't help but raise her head and look at Chen Yunyu and said, "Brother, I want to ask you to find something for me."

"What's the matter?" Chen Yunyu looked at him with some confusion.

"Can you...can you help me check?" Chen Yunjing hesitated for a moment and said to Chen Yunyu: "Check if my mother had ever liked someone before entering the palace and when she was in Mo Country."

Chen Yunyu was slightly stunned after hearing his words.

The carriage suddenly became quiet.

In this silence, Chen Yunyu asked him with a little difficulty, "Why... I suddenly remembered to investigate this matter?"

"When I was in Mo Kingdom, I heard about some things." Chen Yunjing was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked at him with deep eyes and said, "I want to know whether those things are true or false."

"Oh..." Chen Yunyu sighed long, then nodded and said, "Okay, it's rare for you to ask me for something. I'll check it for you... But what if the result is found..."

"It's okay." Chen Yunjing interrupted him directly and said, "No matter what the result is, I can accept it."

"Okay." Chen Yunyu nodded and replied, then stopped talking.

Chen Yunjing was also silent all the way.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Yunyu went directly to his yard.

He rushed into the yard and pushed open the door of his room. He breathed a long sigh when he saw that the goose-yellow figure was still sitting in front of the table in the room.

Jiang Zaozao was sitting in front of the table in Shen Yunyu's room for snacks. When he looked up, he saw Chen Yunyu rushing in in a hurry. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you went to the palace to meet the emperor? Why did you come back so soon?"

"The emperor is busy with official duties today." Chen Yunyu stepped on his long legs and walked to the stool beside Jiang Zaozao, sitting down. His beautiful eyes looked at her and said, "I thought you would leave while I was not at home."

"How is it possible? Am I such an ungrateful person?" Jiang Zaozao pulled the corner of his mouth and said to Chen Yunyu: "If I leave, I will definitely tell you and will not leave without saying a word."

"Well..." Chen Yunyu nodded and looked at her and smiled.

Jiang Zaozao looked at him as if he was absent-minded. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You seem to have something to worry about."

"Oh..." Chen Yunyu sighed long, he raised his hand, picked up the teapot on the table, and Jiang Zaozao took a teacup and put it in front of him.

After Chen Yunyu poured himself a cup of tea, he raised the teacup with a white hand, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Zhao Zao, I went to Moguo this time and found some things."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Zaozao looked at him and asked casually.

Chen Yunyu looked straight at her with deep eyes, but did not speak.

Jiang Zaozao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said to him: "If it is a secret, don't say it. I know it's not good."

Chen Yunyu listened to her words, smiled and shook her head and said, "It may be a huge secret for others, but for you, it is just another trivial matter in life."

After saying this, he was silent for a moment, then drank the tea in the teacup in front of him, and then smiled at Jiang Zaozao with a self-deprecating smile: "Zhaozao, do you know, my father, the Prime Minister of Ye Country..."

"He used to represent Ye Kingdom as an envoy to ask for marriage in Mo Kingdom for many years. At that time, the two countries had been fighting for many years, and Ye Kingdom was at a disadvantage. There was no way out, so he could only propose a marriage marriage."

"At that time, Mo Kingdom was at the upper hand most of the time in the war with Ye Kingdom, but the years of war also made the people suffer."

"At this time, Ye Kingdom proposed to marry, and the Emperor of Mo naturally followed suit and agreed to the request. However, the Mo Kingdom, which is in the victorious direction, is naturally unwilling to send the noble princess to the Ye Kingdom to marry."

"At this time, my father made an opinion, saying that the princess is a noble body and should not be exhausted. It is better to choose a girl from the families of princes, nobles or civil and military officials to marry, as long as this girl can represent the country of Mo."

Jiang Zaozao listened to him seriously and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

"Then, although my father said so, the Emperor of Mo was embarrassed to choose an unimportant daughter from an unimportant minister's family to send her to the marriage, so he chose it all the time. The errand ended up on the Prime Minister of Mo. The daughter of the Prime Minister of Mo originally had an engagement with General Murong of Mo, but the Emperor of Mo finally sent her to the Ye Kingdom for marriage."

"Then she will be separated from the person she likes?" Jiang Zaozao was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Yes." Chen Yunyu nodded and continued, "After the daughter of the Prime Minister of Mo Kingdom married into Ye Kingdom, she was named Yuepin. The emperor also liked her very much and specially gave it to Ruyu Palace for her."

"Soon after, Yuepin became pregnant, and the emperor promoted her to Yuepin. After the child was born, she was a little prince. When the emperor was happy, she was promoted to Shufei again."

"The story is quite complete here, right?" Chen Yunyu looked at Jiang Zaozao and smiled bitterly, "But later, I don't know what happened in the harem, and there were rumors that Concubine Shu's child might not belong to the emperor. He said that before Concubine Shu got married, she had a engagement with General Murong of Mo Kingdom. This child might belong to General Murong."

"These rumors reached the emperor's ears without realizing them. The emperor thought about it carefully and remembered that Concubine Shu had been depressed since entering the palace. In addition, the child looked more similar to Concubine Shu, so the emperor was a little unhappy."

"In addition, in the court, my father was urging the emperor to make the fourth prince the crown prince openly and secretly. The emperor knew that my father actually supported the fourth prince to take office, but the emperor is still so young now, how could he easily set the position of the crown prince?"

"So, after careful consideration, the emperor directly sent Concubine Shu's child to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked my father to help him raise him. First, Concubine Shu was taken back by my father personally from Mo Kingdom. The emperor should blame him for not carefully investigating Concubine Shu's engagement. Second, no matter whether the child belongs to the emperor or the general of Mo Kingdom, he is a prince in name. The prime minister raises a prince. No matter how much he supports the fourth prince, the fourth prince will still have some suspicion about him."

"After all, it's not difficult to have my father personally train a prince and then help him to the throne."

"But the identity of this child has become an irregular bomb. If my father wants to train him to take office, he will say that he is actually the child of General Mo. If his reputation is not right, my father may end up colluding with the enemy and treason."

"If my father doesn't train him, then the emperor has also left a prince by his side anyway. For the fourth prince, this is a threat, because he doesn't know if the prime minister will train another prince in secret."

Jiang Zaozao listened to Chen Yunyu's analysis and couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "The emperor is really a good plan."

Chen Yunyu smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could he become the emperor?"

Jiang Zaozao supported his chin with one hand, and after passing Chen Yunyu's words in his mind, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him in shock and said, "This... this kid is Chen Yunjing, right?"
