Zhao Ning chose two palace maids to bring back to the Sixth Wangye's residence. She did not deliberately learn the rules, but every day she would let the two palace maids tell her things that she did not know. Only then did she understand that life in the palace was not as simple as she had imagined. She was full of anticipation and anxiety about returning to the Qi Kingdom.
"Where is the Sixth Wangye?" Zhao Ning listened to the two palace maids' explanation for the entire morning and felt dizzy. She wanted to leave the Wangye's residence but was stopped at the door. The old maid guarding the door said that without the Wangye's permission, she could not leave the Wangye's residence, so she could only come to find Murong Ke.
She did not seem to see him recently, was he very busy?
"Miss Zhao, please wait a moment, the Wangye is in the study room, I will go and inform him," the servant said to Zhao Ning and then turned to find Murong Ke.
Murong Ke was not often in the Wangye's residence. Other than being called to the palace by Mo Rongzhan, he also wanted to avoid Mo Rongyi, otherwise he would be forced to go to the royal family to collect debts.
When it came to collecting debts, Murong Ke had a headache. He heard from the servant that yesterday Prince Wen and Marquis Luo came to find him, but he was coincidentally not in the Wangye's residence. Maybe in a few days, more members of the royal family would come to find him.
"Let Miss Zhao come in," Murong Ke said. He was considering whether he should leave the capital city in advance. Anyway, the Emperor looked fine. He didn't look like he had lost his memory. At least, no one could see it.
Zhao Ning walked in happily and saw Murong Ke standing behind the desk, writing something. She lightened her steps, "Sixth Wangye!"
Murong Ke did not raise his head, but asked calmly, "Miss Zhao, why are you looking for me?"
"Sixth Wangye, can I go out for a walk?" Zhao Ning knew that Murong Ke did not like people to beat around the bush, so she told him her purpose first.
"Go out," Murong Ke raised his head and looked at her.
Zhao Ning said, "I have been in the capital for so long, other than the last time I went to the palace, I have always been in the Wangye's residence. It is really boring, if possible, I want to go outside …"
Murong Ke nodded, "Okay, bring two more people."
"…" He agreed so readily. Zhao Ning looked at him, stunned. "I can really get out?"
"Miss Zhao, you are a guest of the palace, not a prisoner. You can go wherever you want." Murong Ke smiled lightly. Previously, he had not allowed Zhao Ning to go out because her identity had not been confirmed. Now that he had confirmed that she was the princess of the Qi Kingdom, there was no need to hide it. As long as she did not get into trouble outside, it would be fine.
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Alright, thank you Sixth Wangye."
Murong Ke asked, "How have you been in the Prince's Mansion recently?"
"Very good." Zhao Ning smiled. Ever since she was sensible, she knew that she did not belong to the Hua Village. She was not just a fisherwoman. Reality had proven that she was right. She did not feel uncomfortable living in the Wang Mansion. Even if she were to return to the Qi Kingdom in the future, she felt that she would be able to live a good life.
"That's good." Murong Ke knew that she had brought back two palace maids, and they were even given to her by Yao Yao. He did not have to worry about Zhao Ning having ulterior motives behind his back. He believed that the two palace maids would be watching over her.
Mo Rongzhan had really arranged everything.
"Sixth Wangye, I still have a presumptuous request …" When Zhao Ning turned around, she stopped in her tracks. She had heard many secrets about the Palace. She felt that it was better to understand some things first.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious, right?
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
"I want to understand the Qi Kingdom's Palace … What kind of people are there? Although the Empress gave me two palace maids, and they taught me many things, I am not very familiar with the Qi Kingdom's Palace." Zhao Ning said softly. She knew that she should not make such a request, but she really wanted to know, especially when she heard that there were four princesses in the Qi Kingdom. She wanted to know what kind of people those four princesses were.
This was not a difficult matter. Murong Ke nodded lightly, "Alright."
"Thank you, Sixth Wangye." Zhao Ning smiled and bowed before retreating.
Murong Ke looked at the back view of Zhao Ning as she left. His gaze shifted to the portrait on the table. He had only drawn the outline, but he did not finish it. He put down the brush and remembered that he just wanted to write some words. It was just that the figure in his mind was too deep, and unknowingly, he had drawn it.
"Your Highness …" Someone called out to him in a low voice.
"Come in." Murong Ke said in a deep voice. He put away the portrait on the table and took out the secret letter that had been sent not long ago.
He had ordered the destruction of the Thousand Hands Spider, who wanted to assassinate Ye Zhen outside the capital. However, it seemed that the Thousand Hands Spider was more powerful than he had imagined. The Jin Kingdom was gone, but there were traces of them in the Qi Kingdom.
Who founded the Thousand Hands Spider? Even Qian Luosha could not find out!
Murong Ke wrote back, asking Teng Ye to continue the investigation. No matter what, he must kill the Thousand Hands Spider!
Unknowingly, it was already afternoon. Murong Ke looked at the sky and asked someone to serve lunch.
His servant came in and bowed to Murong Ke. "Your Highness, I heard that … the Empress has been sent out of the palace."
Murong Ke's eyes darkened. "Speak clearly."
The servant said, "I heard that the Emperor rewarded the harem, which made the Empress unhappy. In order to punish her for her jealousy, the Emperor sent her out of the palace."
Bullsh * t! Murong Ke cursed in his heart. He knew that Mo Rongzhan had conferred the title of Consort Shu, but he was not a fool. How could Mo Rongzhan slap Yaoyao in the face for an inexplicable concubine, let alone ignore her for another woman? There must be another reason.
"Where is the Emperor?" Murong Ke asked with a cold face.
The servant replied, "In the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
Murong Ke stood up and strode out. Even if Mo Rongzhan had other reasons, he wanted to know why.
Yaoyao was pregnant now. Where did he want to send her?
In the palace, Eunuch Fu was still guarding outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Seeing Murong Ke's figure from afar, he cursed in his heart.
"Sixth Wangye, why did you enter the palace so late?" Eunuch Fu greeted him with a smile.
Murong Ke looked at him coldly. "Where is the Emperor?"
Eunuch Fu was Mo Rongzhan's personal eunuch. Since he was here, could it be that Mo Rongzhan was in the Palace of Heavenly Purity? He sent Yaoyao away, but he still had the mood to sit in the Palace of Heavenly Purity?
"Sixth Wangye, are you looking for the Emperor? The Emperor is busy now. Why don't you enter the palace tomorrow?" Eunuch Fu said with a smile.
"I want to see the Emperor now. Eunuch Fu, go in and tell the Emperor!" Murong Ke said coldly.
The Emperor was not in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Who was he looking for?
Murong Ke saw that Eunuch Fu's expression was strange. He dragged Eunuch Fu in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Fu, where is the Emperor?"
