The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chapter 181 Paper can’t contain the fire

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes in deep thought.

Today, many wives of officials witnessed with their own eyes that the Empress Dowager had an affair with someone.

What’s the point of blocking the news as I said?

It's just like covering one's ears and stealing the bell, which only adds to the laughing stock.

When she opened her eyes and saw Chu Musheng's calm expression, the Empress Dowager sighed in her heart.

Almost all the people in charge of this palace are the regent's men.

If he had intended to stop him, how could that man have entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom?

I'm afraid Sheng'er had already anticipated this, and maybe he had secretly arranged it.

Otherwise, no matter how courageous the Queen Mother was, she would not dare to stay in the bedroom with a man from outside for so long on such an occasion as today.

The Empress Dowager still remembered that both she and the man seemed a little confused at the time.

He wanted to question his youngest son, but he was concerned about his daughter-in-law sitting next to him.

Forget it, forget it, don’t say these dirty things in front of your daughter-in-law.

My daughter-in-law is innocent and pure, and she is pregnant. Don't let these secrets pollute her ears.

The Empress Dowager calmed herself down and looked at Chu Musheng.

"Sheng'er, you must give me a proper solution to this matter. Don't let the royal family's reputation be ruined."

Chu Musheng bowed in response.

"I understand, and I will not disappoint you, my Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager stood up from the phoenix chair and looked at Xu Keke with a smile.

"My little daughter-in-law, I am tired today, so I will not let you have dinner in the palace.

Go back to the palace and take care of your pregnancy. The regent will handle the outside affairs, so don't worry too much."

"Okay, mother, go back and rest early."

Xu Ke bowed and watched the Empress Dowager, Madam Rong, and the eunuchs and palace maids walk out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Chu Musheng took her hand and walked out.

"This place is unlucky. I will send you back to Prince Sheng's Mansion first."

Xu Keke nodded and followed Chu Musheng closely.

After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, Nanny Wang, Dingdang, Anxiang and others followed them.

After getting on the carriage, there were only the couple in the compartment, and Xu Keke finally couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, do you know who the Queen Mother is having an affair with?"

Chu Musheng took her into his arms.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, my dear, please don't ask too much."

Xu Ke could chuckle.

"Nanny Wang went with him to see it, but the prince didn't tell me. I'll ask Nanny Wang when I get back to the mansion.

Wouldn't that embarrass her? It would be better if Your Majesty told me directly."

Chu Musheng thought about it and realized that he had no intention of hiding this matter from the princess, and he was about to punish those two people.

He didn't want to tell Xu Keke because Shen Qingfeng had been engaged to Xu Keke before.

According to the secret guard's report, Shen Qingfeng met Princess Sheng in a restaurant and actually called her "Coco".

This made Chu Mucheng extremely unhappy. He didn't expect that Shen Qingfeng would go through so many twists and turns to hook up with the Queen Mother.

I really wanted to take a nap so I brought a pillow.

Chu Musheng just went with the flow and didn't do much.

I just asked someone to fumigate the Empress Dowager's gorgeous clothes today with special spices.

Well, maybe the silks and satins on the Empress Dowager’s phoenix couch were also scented.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to tell me?"

Xu Keke rubbed against his arms, bringing Chu Musheng back to his senses.

"It's okay to tell Princess, that man is last year's top scholar and currently works as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy. His name is Shen Qingfeng."

Xu Keke sighed in his heart, this evil fate is really powerful.

I thought all the endings in the original owner's memory had changed.

I didn't expect that Shen Qingfeng could get involved with the Queen Mother.

But this time it was no longer a secret affair, but they were caught in bed by everyone.

Xu Ke raised his head and looked at Chu Musheng.

"Your Majesty, how could Shen Qingfeng be so bold?"

Chu Musheng snorted coldly.

"Hmph, he overestimated his own abilities and tried to curry favor with the powerful. He deserved this fate."

Xu Keke wondered inwardly whether there was some other hidden secret in this.

But she didn't show it on her face, she just snuggled in Chu Musheng's arms and spoke casually.

"Your Highness is right, but truth cannot be hidden, and so many ladies have seen it today.

Even if he doesn't say it, he knows it in his heart. And Shen Qingfeng, he can't be detained for no reason. How does the prince plan to deal with him?"

Chu Musheng stroked her hair gently.

"I will handle it properly and will not let him off easily."

Xu Keke nodded and said nothing more.

In the original owner's life, Shen Qingfeng destroyed the original owner's family and the Xie family, which shows how vicious his mind is.

He didn't have time to do evil in this life simply because he hadn't yet gained power.

If there was no regent, Xu Ke would ask himself whether it would be so easy to change the fate of the Xu family's second branch and the Xie family.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke hugged Chu Musheng tightly.

"Your Majesty, it's great to have you here!"

Chu Musheng felt Xu Keke's dependence, his heart softened, and he hugged her tighter.

"My beloved, you always say things that make me happy."

The carriage soon arrived at Prince Sheng's Mansion, and Chu Musheng helped Xu Keke get off the carriage.

But he did not accompany her inside.

He kissed Xu Ke’s forehead beside the carriage.

"My beloved concubine, go back home and have a good rest. Ask the kitchen to prepare some more delicious food. You didn't eat much at the banquet today, so don't go hungry."

Chu Musheng warned.

Xu Ke responded.

"Your Majesty is going out?"

"Well, I still have to go to the palace to take care of some important business."

Chu Musheng got on the carriage after saying this.

Nanny Wang, Dingdang, and Anxiang came over and accompanied the princess to watch the carriage go away.

"Let's go back home!"

Xu Ke took them back to Prince Sheng's Mansion.

.......

The next day, Xu Ke asked Anxiang to go out and get information.

I want to know if the Queen Mother’s scandal has spread widely in the capital.

However, the observation results made Anxiang, who loved to watch a show, obviously disappointed.

There was no talk of the Empress Dowager having an affair in teahouses and restaurants.

Anxiang even went to Xu's house and asked the purchasing woman.

The purchasing woman had never heard of this matter. When she heard Anxiang mention the empress dowager, she immediately started asking about it.

"What's the matter, Queen Mother? Anxiang, please tell me quickly."

Subtle fragrance...

I can't tell her, and this news can't get out of the Xu Mansion.

So many wives of officials were able to remain calm this time. I wonder if it was because of the Empress Dowager's deterrence that worked.

It was the Regent who suppressed the matter.

Seeing that the purchasing woman was still looking at her eagerly, Anxiang changed the concept abruptly.

"What do you mean by empress dowager? I'm asking about the old woman from the Xu family's main house. Has she been causing trouble while living in the backyard of the Xu residence?"

The shopping woman slapped her thigh.

"Anxiang, you're asking about this. I'm telling you, that old woman has been living peacefully lately, and hasn't caused any trouble.

The eldest lady from the first house wanted to establish a good relationship with the second house under the pretext of visiting the old woman.

Madam and Aunt Ding kept a close eye on her like a thief and wouldn't let her in every day."

Anxiang curled her lips.

“That’s good, I feel relieved knowing that nothing happened. If I get annoyed by the people in the big house.

Ma, please come find me at Prince Sheng's mansion. I'll give them a good beating and they'll behave themselves."

The shopping woman nodded repeatedly.

"Miss Anxiang, I feel relieved with your words. Next time she comes, I will go up and instigate her."
