C48 can be allied (1/2)

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.
