Chapter 316: Regent

The fact that Yulan sent a maid did not arouse the slightest splash in the palace. Since then, the people around her have been aware of the attitude of her, and the rich mother beats it from time to time, and the people are cautious in their words and deeds. , Without any extra thoughts.
But when Yulan started to get started with the shop and began to make big moves, many powerful people in Beijing started thinking about it. They hadn’t heard of a woman in the backyard of the Regent before, so why this time there was a woman working on the mountain with the Regent’s back? They couldn't see this woman either. Only the boss who talked about business had the opportunity to talk to her.
Many people are guessing what her identity is, of course the first thing that comes to mind is the person in Xu Zifan's house. But which official would let the people in the house come out and take care of the shop? This unreasonable situation gave Yulan a veil of mystery. In addition, everyone thought that Xu Zifan and the Queen Mother had something to do before. The first woman who appeared next to Xu Zifan in these years attracted special attention, even fighting in the palace. The endless queen mother and the emperor have heard about it.
Of course, the queen mother knew about Yulan's existence. Xiangyun had mentioned it specially when she was passing the news to her. At that time, she was very proud. While disgusting Yulan as a substitute, she was satisfied with Xu Zifan's infatuation. But just such a thing that looks like a vase decoration, why suddenly the shop is being taken care of? Or ten shops with excellent locations, what does Xu Zifan mean?
The Queen Mother immediately called Shi Shu to contact Xiangyun and asked about Yulan's situation. De'an pretended to be Xiangyun and replied to her, saying that Yulan was the master in the palace, second only to Xu Zifan. These words are ambiguous, making the queen mother feel uncomfortable, is Xu Zifan still feeling affection for a substitute?
She didn't get a definite answer at Xiangyun, so the queen mother called Mo Yun to wait outside the hall early in the morning, and the officials asked Xu Zifan to go to Anci Palace.
Now the Queen Mother has trusted Mo Yun and no longer sends anyone to watch her. She came out with her own person, and Xu Zifan did not drive the car away and went with her. On the road, the two people told the palace man to walk far behind, and they talked in low voices as they walked.
Mo Yun briefly and quickly talked about the fighting situation in the lower palace and her next plan, and then said: "The queen mother is looking for the prince this time because of Miss Yulan. Now everyone is guessing about the identity of Miss Yulan. The queen mother contacted Xiangyun. Xu Shi felt a sense of crisis, so she rushed to ask the prince. The queen mother also asked her subordinates carefully. She was afraid that she would be unfavorable to Miss Yulan and denied the relationship between Miss Yulan and the prince."
Xu Zifan smiled playfully, turning his head to look at her, "Oh? What do you think is the relationship between Yulan and me? Is there anything I need to deny?"
Mo Yun was stunned, and truthfully replied: "The subordinates thought that the girl Yulan was used as a stand-in for the prince, but she had received the prince’s attention before and was the only woman in the prince’s backyard. Ruo the queen mother learned that the prince had treated Yulan The girl is not what she used to be. I am afraid that she will harm Girl Yulan for her own benefit."
"Then how did you talk to the Queen Mother?"
"The subordinates said that Miss Yulan was living in the palace, and the prince did not pay much attention to it, but only took care of her.
Xu Zifan nodded, "You are right, as it is, Yulan is not a woman in my backyard."
Mo Yun was stunned again, couldn't help but look up at him, without speaking.
Xu Zifan chuckled and said, "You don't believe it? What did I lie to you for? I see Yulan the same as Ziyun, like a relative."
Mo Yun lowered her head and frowned slightly. She knew that Yulan's appearance was very similar to that of the Queen Mother. Before seeing Xu Zifan put down her affection for the Queen Mother, she didn't expect to hear that Xu Zifan valued Yulan in a blink of an eye, which made her feel a little bit more emotional. No, I doubt whether Xu Zifan is just empathizing to Yulan, but he is actually affected by the Queen Mother.
And if Xu Zifan seizes power in the future, there will be a concubine in the harem who looks like the Queen Mother, and I don't know how many rumors will be caused. As a subordinate, she felt it was troublesome to think of this, and because Yulan was indeed the only woman by Xu Zifan, she had to take care of it. In the days when she was walking on thin ice, she was rarely a little irritable.
But this irritability disappeared when she heard Xu Zifan's words, and there was still a slight joy in her heart. She didn't know what her reaction was, and she felt a little strange. For a while, she didn't know how to answer the conversation. Is Yulan Xu Zifan's room responsible for her? From now on, Xu Zifan's supremacy will definitely want the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards to fill the harem with branches and leaves. It is not Yulan but Minglan and Xianglan. What is the difference? Where is her awkward mind?
When Mo Yun was so confused and confused, he simply stayed silent and stopped talking.
Xu Zifan looked at her, did not notice any change in her expression, and did not know what she was thinking, so he said: "Yulan's safety is protected by someone, don't worry about what the Queen Mother thinks. In fact, this mess in the palace has no chance to come back. , Why don't you come back? lest the queen mother finds out something against you."
Mo Yun recovered and shook his head, "It is cheaper to act in the palace, and his subordinates will be careful."
"Take this with you, and retreat immediately if something is wrong. Life is important. I can solve the other things. There is no need to work hard." Xu Zifan gave her two porcelain vases, one for treating internal injuries and the other for hanging her life. It is the pill of the cultivation world, as long as she can escape, she should be able to save her life.
Mo Yun grabbed the porcelain bottle and hid his hands in his sleeves. The lake of the heart seemed to be thrown into a small stone, causing waves of ripples. She has long been accustomed to fighting alone, and sometimes mistakenly thinks that she is invulnerable and invulnerable, but since entering the palace under the pseudonym Mo Yun, the care she has received from Xu Zifan seems to be more than once, which makes her feel very different. The same feeling.
An Ci Palace arrived soon, and the queen mother still made tea and waited for Xu Zifan as before. When she saw Xu Zifan walk in, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Xu Zifan for many days.
Obviously, they had met each other a day or two before, drinking tea and chatting, and chatting about political affairs. Since when did they stop doing this? She worries about a lot of things in the palace every day, helping the queen fight Furong, and fighting for power with the emperor, and she is gradually estranged from Xu Zifan. Now she looks at Xu Zifan in front of her, and she has a very strange feeling. It seems that Xu Zifan has no affection for her at all, but the majesty is deeply palpitating!
Compared with the handsome and majestic Xu Zifan, the queen mother couldn't hide her tiredness even if she drew a thick fan. She was one year younger than him, but looked like ten years older than him. Xu Zifan sat across from her with a calm expression, but she was sitting on pins and needles, she turned her face and dared not look at him, and forced a smile to greet him. Without a few words, I couldn't help but get into the topic, and wanted to end early and go back to the bedroom.
"Zhong Qian, I heard that there is a girl in your mansion who likes to do business, which one is from? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
Xu Zifan said lightly: "You mean Yulan? Her parents are dead and have been living in the minister's mansion. Recently, the minister is busy with government affairs, so she gave her a few shops to pass the time because she was afraid that she would be bored."
The queen mother had already investigated the value of those ten shops, and they were all top-notch in Beijing. When she heard Xu Zifan say so lightly that it was for Yulan to pass the time, she was panicked and couldn't help asking: "You are Interested in her?"
This question was too straightforward. The queen mother paused and laughed, "Mrs-in-law has been away for many years. If you meet a woman who is right to your heart, I naturally want to congratulate you, so I want to ask clearly. If this girl Yulan doesn't have enough status, can I help me see the ladies of the family?"
Xu Zifan’s gaze slid across Mo Yun’s face, curled the corners of her lips, and said,
The queen mother has violated the peace and is still in peace, so don’t worry about these things. If the minister meets the right one, he will find a way to contact. With Chen's current status, it doesn't matter what status she is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the queen mother hurriedly asked: "Then why is Zhong Qian the most important? Could it be appearance talent?"
Xu Zifan shook his head slowly, "The minister thought that there are so many outstanding women in the world, and the person who can make the minister agree is the person that the minister can see. You can only see it in your heart when you see it. As for how to see it, it depends Focus on fate. So the Queen Mother doesn’t have to worry about her ministers. When the fate is reached, the minister will naturally get married. If the fate is not there, then forget it. The queen mother also knows that Ziyun is too lively, and the minister has always wanted a well-behaved and caring sister, just like Yulan is average, this is another kind of fate. The minister intends to recognize Yulan as his sister, but he hasn't asked her before, so he will talk about it when he asks her."
The queen mother had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know if she should be happy because Xu Zifan didn't like Yulan, or she should be angry because Xu Zifan wanted to continue marrying. It's not that she has not tried Xu Zifan in the past few years. Every time she shows a lonely look, Xu Zifan will try to explain that she has no intention of continuing to marry, why this time she said that she had no fate, as if she was so personal.
And what Xu Zifan said about "seeing into the eyes" is too vain. Sometimes this emotional sprouting is so momentary, maybe one eye and one smile are moved. The emperor also "sees into the eye" to Furong, that is just a plan. The moment of attraction and the subsequent getting along with each other are scared, who knows who the woman will attract Xu Zifan's attention!
The empress dowager felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in her heart. She kept doing what she wanted to make herself leave more and more marks in Xu Zifan's heart. The disagreements between her and Xu Zifan seemed to have weakened their friendship, and she was a little overwhelmed. . Previously, she planned to eradicate Xu Zifan, but now she and the emperor turned against each other, just when Xu Zifan's support was needed, she would definitely have to win him over, and she would never let anyone threaten her.
But she pulled all the women around Xu Zifan once, and she didn’t think of any woman with special features that would make Xu Zifan notice. She was shocked that she was too confident in recent years and had not really observed Xu Zifan’s real life. Like, she didn't even know what kind of woman he would admire now, she couldn't even do what she liked.
Xu Zifan didn't give her a chance to tentatively ask. He got up and quit after drinking a cup of tea. He handled the affairs on behalf of the emperor. It was normal for the government affairs to be busy, and the queen mother could not find an excuse to keep him. When Xu Zifan left, the queen mother returned to the sleeping hall, sat down in front of the dressing table, and when she saw the tired and haggard face in the mirror, she waved away everything on the table.
The mirror fell to pieces, but the ten-year-old face was still deep in her mind. She is old! Does Xu Zifan leave in a hurry regardless of her detention because he doesn't want to see this face? !
A face that she hates herself, how can Xu Zifan love it? I heard that Yulan is similar to her by five points. Is Xu Zifan's recent empathy for Yulan because of his empathy?
She was angry, she was unwilling, she resented, and all kinds of strong negative emotions filled her heart, making her heart beat faster and unable to breathe, and her eyes turned black!
Mo Yun stepped forward to support her, and said anxiously: "Empress Mother, what's wrong with you? The doctor said you have to calm down!"
The queen mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down. For the first time, she realized that her body was really wrong. After falling into the water, she was angry from time to time and had no time to raise her body. Instead, she became weaker and weaker and couldn't bear the slightest stimulation. She knew she should be calm, but her mind was full of unsatisfactory things, she couldn't calm down, she was dizzy and couldn't control it.
She barely persisted for a while and was already weak and unable to hold on. Before she lost consciousness, she thought that it was true that she was thinking about becoming ill, and that being too worried could really stimulate the body.
