Chapter 617 Did the Empress Mother And Her Son Go Astray?

Yinn Yue, who had received the reply, had not slept well for several days. Su Mianyue's offer made her feel uneasy, afraid that she would end up in pieces. But now, what choice did she have?

After a few days of hesitation, Yinn Yue did not have any indecision in handling state affairs, but Little Emperor was sensitive to Yinn Yue's unusual.

After this morning, Little Emperor saw that Yinn Yue was absent-minded from time to time when he was reviewing the notes, so he put down the notes in his hand and came to Yinn Yue. He looked up at Yinn Yue, who was frowning. After a long time, Yinn Yue found that Little Emperor was standing beside him.

Pulling out a smile that he thought was gentle but with sorrow, Yinn Yue asked softly, "Is there a problem that the emperor can't solve? Tell me about it and I will consult with you together. If we can't reach an agreement, we will discuss it with your two imperial masters. One is poor and four are skilled. We can always find a solution."

Yinn Yue had always tried to coexist peacefully with the two emperors. As long as they were devoted to Little Emperor, Yinn Yue would give in at the right time, but he would never give in to everything, so that he could find a way to coexist, lest the two emperors would instill incorrect ideas into Little Emperor.

It had to be said that Yinn Yue's compromise made the two emperors look at each other in a new light, because they were directly appointed by Retired Emperor. Unless they made an unforgivable mistake, Yinn Yue would not be able to dismiss them even if he listened to the government behind the curtain. At the same time, they had nothing to do with Yinn Yue.

However, Yinn Yue did not monopolize power nor cultivate his own power. He handled the government in the way of assisting the new monarch like a bystander. Even the two emperors could not find an excuse to embarrass Yinn Yue, let alone seize power.

Little Emperor shook his head and pulled Yinn Yue's sleeve. He asked in a childish tone, "Did the queen mother and the emperor separate?"

Yinn Yue frowned even more when he heard that. He held Little Emperor's hand and asked her to sit beside him, "What does the emperor mean by that? But what did someone say? The queen only has one child, and it is beneficial to be separated from the queen. Does the emperor think so too?"

Seeing the worried and sad look in Yinn Yue's eyes, Little Emperor quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the queen mother would discuss things with her son in the past, but the queen mother has been out of her wits these days. She thought that the queen mother would not want to advance and retreat with her son again. In her heart, the son is already an outsider."

Yinn Yue was secretly relieved to hear that. She now seemed to have supreme power, but only she knew that she was treading on thin ice.

Not only did the imperial court and the harem bother her, but she was also careful with her son. After all, they were not ordinary mother and son, and it was difficult to repair them once there were cracks.

Touching Little Emperor's hair, Yinn Yue sighed and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your son should know the situation of the Hengyuan and the situation of our mother and son. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble. The queen mother has been worried about these days. She thought that you were too young to let you and her mother fall into this difficult situation together. But my mother also knows that you can't be overly protective as an emperor. You have to face many things yourself to grow up and become a qualified emperor."

When Little Emperor heard his mother's words, he was sitting in a dangerous position, and the shyness he had just shown due to yin yue's actions was gone.

"If you have something to say to your mother, you may as well be frank. Your son is no longer a child. He can tell right from wrong and share the worries of your mother." Little Emperor said with a slim figure.

Yinn Yue smiled wryly and pinched Little Emperor's face, "This will start with your mother asking for peace with the Yan Country in your name..."

It was not clear to outsiders what the mother and son had whispered. Only the guards outside the imperial study heard Little Emperor's furious shout. "How dare you? It's not a gentleman taking advantage of a man's danger."

After that, he said something. After lunch, the mother and son had resumed their usual calm demeanor. They were all serious about the affairs of the state, and even the spies who had been planted outside the imperial study could not find out.

Yinn Yue had been following Wanyan Lin's style ever since he listened to politics behind the curtain. Without being summoned, even the palace guards and guards had to be on duty 30 steps outside the imperial study. In the imperial study, there were only a few loyal secret guards left behind by Retired Emperor, and no one else needed them.

Of course, every other hour, some palace people came in to add tea and bring snacks, but during this period, the mother and son never talked to each other, and it was too difficult to find out a word or two about Little Emperor and Empress Dowager's movements.

Su Mianyue and his wife had no idea what was going on at the Hengyuan. After searching for a month without any news of Ji Xingran, Su Mianyue volunteered to withdraw most of them based on state affairs.

Ji Xun was not willing to give up, but he also understood Su Mianyue's intentions. No matter how hard they searched, it was not difficult for the other party to snatch people from the palace and hide them.

However, Ji Xun did not give up searching, but became more low-key. People who did not know them and knew about them thought that Su Mianyue gave birth to Second Prince, so they did not care about Ji Xingran's life or death.

After all, the crown prince was lost, and they still did everything for Second Prince's full moon and a hundred days. They put more emphasis on Second Prince's safety, and Su Mianyue never left Second Prince's side.

A few months later, Su Chengye and Biwu had recovered, and they appeared in front of Su Mianyue, but they did not mention their injuries. They could only keep their worries about Ji Xingran and Second Prince in mind, for fear that they would not be able to protect Second Prince if they came back.

I don't know what the people who took Ji Xingran wanted, but they didn't send any letters to the palace, and they didn't want to put their hands in the palace anymore.

"Yu, the establishment of the institute is urgent. The Yan Country is just in the middle of a crisis. We must put the national affairs first." Su Mianyue held Ji Xun's hand.

Even though she was worried about her son's safety, su mianyue knew very well that if she kept searching like this, it would only harm the Yan Country and the people. At that time, she did not even have the most advantageous trump card, and that person must have waited for that moment.

"I've left this matter to my father-in-law. I'm sure he can handle it," Ji Xun chuckled.

"You know how to use resources." Su Mianyue chuckled and felt that Ji Xun had done a good job. He had arranged things for Su Chengye to not let him worry about Ji Xingran all day long, but also gave Su Chengye a chance to fulfill his wish for many years.

"I know people and use them wisely." Ji Xun opened his mouth and smiled when he saw Su Mianyue glaring at him, "There won't be any action from the Hengyuan in the short term. I've already sent a message to wu yuqing. He's on his way back to beijing now, leaving only 100,000 troops stationed at the border, while the rest are stationed at various border posts or nearby areas to prevent any sudden military changes."

"Yes." Su Mianyue agreed with Ji Xun's arrangement, so that no matter where things went wrong, there would be support. He said, "I've asked all the strongholds to stock up on the raw materials needed to make explosives. If anything happens, they will support the army. Now, what we have to do is to be as strong as possible as the Yan Country before those people take action. We must not be in a passive state of weakness."
