The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Along the way, Mo Yuxuan kept staring at Xia Yanxiang secretly, but with Mo Yuchen beside him, Mo Yuxuan didn't dare to keep staring at her, and he didn't know what to say, so there was an awkward silence in the carriage.

When they arrived at Prince Luo's Mansion, Mo Yuchen first signaled Xia Yanxiang to get off the carriage, and then he got off the carriage himself.

Mo Xuanxuan was extremely curious, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to be patient and follow Mo Xuanchen into Prince Luo's Mansion.

Mo Yuchen did not take Xia Yanxiang to the main hall, but took her directly to the study.

Surprisingly, there was someone else in the study.

"Mother." Mo Yuchen was not surprised at all. Instead, Mo Yuxuan, seeing that his mother was so guilty, had to hide behind Mo Yuchen and salute in a low-key manner.

Xia Yanxiang was surprised that Concubine Su had actually left the palace in disguise, especially on such a sensitive day as today.

Although Xia Yanxiang was surprised, she did not dare to neglect it. In her previous life, she did not have much contact with Mo Yuchen and Concubine Su. She only knew that this was a very capable concubine.

Mo Yuchen and Mo Yuxuan stood up after they exchanged greetings, but Concubine Su had no intention of letting Mo Yuxuan go: "Xuan'er, where have you been these days?"

Mo Xuanxuan shrank his neck when his name was called, but he still stood up and said, "Mother, I haven't been anywhere. Didn't I just go to Prince Yuan's mansion to watch my brother Prince Yuan get married?"

Concubine Su glared at Mo Yuxuan, then turned to look at Xia Yanxiang behind Mo Yuchen. Her eyes suddenly became meaningful, as if she had just seen Xia Yanxiang, and asked, "Yu An, this is..."

Mo Yuchen turned around and looked at Xia Yanxiang, seemingly not intending to introduce her: "He is the servant my son brought out."

"Servant?" Concubine Su seemed to not believe what Mo Yuchen said, and there was disbelief in her eyes.

Mo Yuxuan was even more unconvinced. Wasn't he aware that his second brother would bring someone to the banquet? What about the servant he brought out? His second brother always only took Yizhu, a close friend, out. Who would believe this?

It’s just that Yizhu is not here now, otherwise Mo Xuanxuan would definitely catch Yizhu and ask him questions non-stop.

"Come here." Concubine Su didn't care whether Mo Yuchen was telling the truth or not. She would just call Xia Yanxiang over and ask her to find out whether it was true or not.

Xia Yanxiang's mind was working rapidly, but her steps were steady as she walked towards Imperial Concubine Su. She stopped about five steps in front of Imperial Concubine Su and bowed again, saying, "Your servant Wu Yi greets the Imperial Concubine."

"Wu Yi?" Concubine Su knew it must be the name of the servant beside her, but she did not expose Xia Yanxiang, but responded casually, "When will Yu An take the servant out again?"

Mo Xuan pursed his lips and said, "See, even mother doesn't believe my second brother's nonsense."

"Mother, she is just a servant in the mansion." Mo Yuchen knew what Concubine Su meant and explained.

"Servant?" This time the person asking the question became Mo Xuanxuan, with a gossipy look on his face. He didn't believe it!

Mo Yuchen glanced at Mo Yuxuan lightly, and Mo Yuxuan immediately shut his mouth and stood quietly aside.

"Since he is a servant, it's fine to have met him. Let him go first!" Concubine Su did not ask any further questions, but ordered Mo Yuchen to let Xia Yanxiang go first. After all, it was not appropriate for Xia Yanxiang to stay here all the time.

Mo Yuchen nodded slightly and said to Xia Yanxiang: "You go down first!"

Xia Yanxiang nodded obediently and went out.

"What happened in Prince Yuan's mansion today should have nothing to do with you, right? Yu An." Concubine Su asked after Xia Yanxiang left the door.

There was no trace of uneasiness or guilt on Mo Yuchen's face, and his words came out smoothly: "Of course, Prince Yuan was unlucky, so this disaster happened. It has nothing to do with Yu An."

"Even if it is related to you, remember not to reveal a single word and keep your hands and feet clean." Concubine Su didn't believe that Mo Yuchen really did nothing.

"What are you talking about, mother? I didn't do anything." Mo Yuchen's face remained expressionless, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Alright, alright, I don't know you yet!" Concubine Su didn't continue to dwell on this matter, but changed the subject, "Have you dealt with her coming to your house today?"

As soon as Mo Yuchen heard what Concubine Su meant, he knew that Concubine Su already knew Xia Yanxiang's identity, so there was no need to keep it a secret any longer: "Don't worry, mother, everything has been handled."

Concubine Su was not sure at first that the person Mo Yuchen brought back was Xia Yanxiang's, but now she was sure. However, she had no intention of interfering in the affairs between Mo Yuchen and Xia Yanxiang.

"Okay, you should consider your own affairs. I won't interfere." After saying this, Concubine Su was about to leave.

"Mother, did you come here today just for this little matter?" Mo Yuchen asked doubtfully when he saw that Concubine Su seemed to be about to leave.

Concubine Su was of course not here for this matter, but for another, not very important matter: "Originally I had no intention of coming out today, but I heard that the Queen was stabbed and stung by a bee in Prince Yuan's mansion, so I came out to see who was so bold as to attack the Queen."

"Prince Yuan will naturally investigate this matter, so mother doesn't have to worry about the Queen." Although she said she was worried, she was actually just gloating. Mo Yuchen and Mo Yuxuan knew it very well.

Concubine Su knew that Mo Yuchen was teasing her, but she was not annoyed. She just said, "The queen has returned to the palace, and Prince Yuan will also investigate this matter. But Yu An, mother still hopes that you are not involved in this matter."

Concubine Su knew Mo Fuchen too well. Even though she knew that Mo Fuchen was cautious, she was still worried that he would be exposed in such a chaotic situation.

Imperial Noble Consort Xianchen was her benefactor and the person who entrusted Mo Yuchen to her before her death. She couldn't let Imperial Noble Consort Xianchen down, and she couldn't let Mo Yuchen fall into danger from the bottom of her heart.

Mo Yuchen and Concubine Su have been mother and son for many years. Although they are not biological mother and son, they are still as close as mother and son. The tacit understanding between mother and son is even better than that between Concubine Su and Mo Yuxuan, who are biological mother and son.

As soon as Mo Yuchen heard Concubine Su say this, he knew what Concubine Su meant. He even thought that Concubine Su might know something about him and that's why she risked leaving the palace today to remind him.

"Don't worry, mother. Yu An knows what's going on." Mo Yuchen had no intention of telling Concubine Su everything. Concubine Su was his mother. She was worried about him, and he was also worried about her, so they always reported good news but not bad news.

Concubine Su knew Mo Yuchen too well, and she was aware of the worries between the two of them. Concubine Su could only sigh in her heart and say nothing more.

Mo Yuxuan looked at the two of them talking like they were playing a game of charades, and he was a little confused: "Mother, what are you talking about with my second brother? My second brother has been very quiet today, and he did nothing at Prince Yuan's banquet."

"What can you see just by yourself?" As soon as Mo Yuxuan opened his mouth, Concubine Su felt very disappointed. They were all children raised by her, so how could her own children be so naive?

Mo Xuanxuan was choked by Concubine Su's words, so he had to pout his lips and stop talking.
