The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 157: Staff? Or concubine?!

"Yang'er..."

Xia Zhiyang doesn't care what Xia Liu's attitude is, because all of Xia Zhiyang's misfortunes are caused by Xia Liu.

Even if Xia Liu could bring a better future to Xia Zhiyang, he no longer had the past he wanted. The so-called bright future was destined to be full of calculations and thorns.

It is better to abandon everything and live a free and easy life.

"Mother, we all understand that the other path may not be a bright one."

Shangyaotang.

Xia Yanxiang received a letter from Mo Yuchen last night, and made an appointment to meet at Shangyaotang. She found an excuse to come out in the afternoon.

It was still Wang Zhi who came to meet Xia Yanxiang: "Miss San, please come this way."

Xia Yanxiang nodded, told Yukui to guard outside, and followed Wang Zhi into the back hall.

"Knock knock! Your Highness, the Queen is here."

"..."Has Mo Yuchen explained this to every subordinate?

"Come in."

Mo Yuchen was the only one in the room, even Yizhu was not there.

Wang Zhi closed the door for them and left.

"Yan Yan." Mo Yuchen seemed to have not seen Xia Yanxiang for a long time, and the light in his eyes suddenly lit up.

Xia Yanxiang didn't react and walked over and sat down.

"Yan Yan, that day my uncle came to tell me that my mother-in-law wanted to divorce Minister Xia. What did you think about it?"

Xia Yanxiang didn't expect that Mo Yuchen asked her out for this matter: "Your Highness, you asked me out just for this matter?"

Mo Yuchen coughed and hid his thoughts: "This matter is of great importance. My eldest uncle also asked me what I thought that day."

Xia Yanxiang propped up her chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at Mo Yuchen's reaction without blinking: "Your Highness Prince Luo, do you have any bad intentions?"

"How dare Xiao Wang have any bad intentions?" Mo Yuchen raised his eyebrows. Even if he did, he certainly couldn't let Yanyan know.

"I just don't know what plans my mother-in-law has for the future?"

Xia Yanxiang stared at Mo Yuchen for a long while before she said, "My uncle will take care of these matters. Your Highness Prince Luo does not need to worry."

Mo Yuchen touched his nose awkwardly, it seemed that there was no hope for him to help find a house.

Mo Yuchen had no choice but to talk about another matter: "By the way, Prince Wei's selection of a concubine has been finalized. There was nothing wrong with it, but the Queen interfered for no reason. Yu Zhan will also participate in this selection. Did you know?"

Xia Yanxiang nodded and stared at Mo Yuchen thoughtfully.

Mo Yuchen should know about the matter between Prince Yu and Qianxiang, but why he didn't tell her is something worth questioning.

"Your Highness Prince Luo, are you trying to test my words on behalf of Prince Yu on purpose?" Although Qianxiang had already told Xia Yanxiang the whole story, the matter between Qianxiang and Prince Yu was still a big problem, so Xia Yanxiang had to be vigilant.

Mo Yuxuan had asked Mo Yuchen for help before, but after such a big incident happened recently, Mo Yuchen was surprised that Mo Yuxuan was able to control his temper and not come to find Mo Yuchen.

"No," Mo Yuchen was afraid that Xia Yanxiang would misunderstand him, so he quickly denied it. "You and I first passed the message to Prince Wei, and now Prince Wei has asked me for help. I didn't expect Yu Zhan to accidentally intervene in this matter. I just want to ask, do you have any precautions?"

"Did the Queen interfere?" Although Mo Yuchen was thoughtful, there was no need for him to tell such a lie in front of Xia Yanxiang, so Xia Yanxiang did not keep nagging him.

"That should be the case. It seems that the Queen thought that Father wanted to support Prince Wei, so she wanted to drag us into this."

The queen does not seem to be stupid. Of course, if she takes action herself, she will be criticized. However, if she involves Concubine Lasu, this tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife will work well.

"By the way, father has posthumously conferred the title of Imperial Concubine Chunhui on Prince Wei's mother." Mo Yuchen was not surprised at all.

Mo Cheng has always been like this, always doing things that are incomprehensible, which makes people unable to figure out what he really means.

Xia Yanxiang tapped the table lightly, making a slight sound.

"What did King Wei say?"

"It seems that Prince Wei wants to refuse, and has asked me for a solution."

"Want to refuse?" Xia Yanxiang naturally knew why, but Mo Yufeng could refuse this time, but he might not be able to refuse the next time. "Do you have a foolproof plan, or do you want to temporarily put off the urgent matter?"

"The best strategy would be to harm Prince Wei's reputation throughout his life. Prince Wei is only sixteen years old now, so I'm afraid that won't be a good idea."

Mo Yuchen's meaning was already very clear, and Xia Yanxiang nodded.

But this strategy may not last long, and we must be on guard at all times.

Xia Yanxiang learned about the method given by Mo Yuchen and suddenly smiled: "This is a good method. After all, as long as this incident happens, the Queen's thoughts will be discovered by the Emperor. Even if there is a next selection of concubines, the Queen will not dare to do it again."

"When that time comes, Prince Wei might as well follow father's wishes and marry one or two concubines and keep them in the mansion to make it look like a plan. Then father won't bother him anymore." The fact that Mo Yuchen only accepted a dozen or so concubines out of so many people's offers was enough to prove his ability.

That's not something that can be rejected with just one sentence.

Mo Yuchen's method does not seem to have any long-term use on the surface, but in fact it can avoid many problems. However, there are very few people who can understand it.

Fortunately, Yanyan understood what he meant.

Among smart people, there is no need to speak in full.

"By the way, the Sixth Princess seems to have been in close contact with the Left Prime Minister recently." After thinking it over, Mo Yuchen decided to tell Xia Yanxiang about Mo Yuanyue so that Xia Yanxiang could get to know Mo Yuanyue in the future.

"Sixth Princess?" Xia Yanxiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, revealing a piercing cold light, but the next moment, Xia Yanxiang returned to normal, "Didn't the Sixth Princess just come back from Jiangnan with the Left Prime Minister?"

"Yes, but the Sixth Princess has been in close contact with the Left Prime Minister recently. There is something shameful going on, and she needs the Left Prime Minister to cover for her." Mo Yuchen did not miss Xia Yanxiang's momentary ups and downs, but did not ask.

Xia Yanxiang frowned, vaguely feeling that things were not simple. This might be the unknown thing in her previous life where Mo Yuanyue did not dare to refuse the marriage and insisted that Xia Qianxiang marry in his place.

"Shameful things?"

Mo Yuchen nodded: "The Sixth Princess went to Jiangnan and brought back a few aides. She is being kept outside the city by the Left Prime Minister for the time being."

Xia Yanxiang didn't expect this to happen. Her eyes immediately turned red as if they were quenched with blood. Her chest began to rise and fall violently. She gritted her teeth and said, "Staff? Or a lover?!"

Mo Yuchen suddenly saw Xia Yanxiang like this and asked in panic, "Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Yanxiang grabbed her collar and bit her lips, trying to suppress her trembling hands and pale lips.

Mo Yuchen stood up and carefully held Xia Yanxiang's shoulder: "Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Yanxiang loosened one hand and tried to push Mo Yuchen's hand away: "No, it's okay, it's okay..."

Xia Yanxiang was shaking violently and her voice was pale and weak. How could Mo Yuchen believe that she was fine when she said that?

"Wang Zhi!" Mo Yuchen shouted loudly to Wang Zhi who was outside.
