Mo Rongzhan avoided Murong Ke's incredulous eyes. He knew Murong Ke's feelings for Yao Yao and knew that Murong Ke could give up his life for her, so it was not surprising that he would appear here. But … here was no longer the priest's hall. There was no need for Murong Ke to care about Yao Yao all the time. It was not that he was narrow-minded and doubted Murong Ke, but he did it for Murong Ke's own good.
He knew that falling in love with Yao Yao was not easy to forget, but Yao Yao was already his empress. Murong Ke was doomed to be unable to get what he wanted. In this case, it was better to suffer as soon as possible. Maybe this was the only way he could meet a woman who could move him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Murong Ke held back his refusal and lowered his head to obey Mo Rongzhan's order.
Mo Rongzhan thought that Murong Ke would refuse, but he actually agreed. "Ke …"
"Your Majesty is right. There are some things that I should not inquire about," Murong Ke said lightly.
"Ke …" Mo Rongzhan whispered to him, "I asked you to go to Nanyue for your own good, and I hope you can help Yi."
Murong Ke nodded. "I understand."
Mo Rongzhan took a deep look at him. "It's good that you understand."
"I will go back first," Murong Ke said. He was still too impulsive. He should not have run to Chengde Villa desperately when he heard that she was left out.
He could not bear to see her suffer a little grievance. Knowing that Mo Rongzhan would not hurt her, he still wanted to confirm it in person.
Mo Rongzhan said, "I will tell Yao Yao that I will go back to the capital with you."
Murong Ke whispered.
When he arrived at Daohua Courtyard, Ye Zhen had already fallen asleep. Mo Rongzhan asked Hong Ying and the others not to wake her up. He walked lightly to the bed and looked at her silently for a while. He was afraid that it would take him ten days or half a month to see her again. He only hoped that she could relax here and not be affected by some rumors.
Chengde Villa was surrounded by his people. What he did not want her to know should not be spread.
"Yao Yao, I will go back first." Mo Rongzhan bent down and kissed Ye Zhen on the forehead.
He turned and walked out of the bedroom. He looked at several palace maids outside and said in a deep voice, "Serve the Empress well. If there is any accident, you will not live."
Hong Ling and the rest hurriedly knelt down and acknowledged.
In the dormitory, Ye Zhen had slowly opened her eyes when Mo Rongzhan left. She sighed softly and fell asleep again with the soft quilt in her arms.
…
…
Mo Rongzhan returned to the palace before dawn. Except for a few of his confidants, no one knew that he personally sent Ye Zhen to Chengde Villa today. Murong Ke and Tang Zhen did not follow him back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity but returned to their own residences. Anyway, they would have to go to the morning court soon.
"Your Majesty, you're back!" Eunuch Fu smiled like a flower when he saw Mo Rongzhan's figure appear in the night. He was finally back!
Mo Rongzhan entered the bedroom and had Fu gonggong fetch water for him to freshen up. After changing his clothes, he leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes, "After zhen sent the Empress away, what was the movement in the palace?"
"Your Majesty, everyone knows that the Empress went out of the palace. An Huipin and Wang Guiren went to Yongshou Palace in the afternoon to pay their respects and waited for an hour before leaving. An Huipin asked her maid to inquire about it in front of the palace, but she was told by me. Empress Shu closed her door and didn't see anyone. She was in Xiuhe Palace all day," Eunuch Fu replied in a low voice.
"Humph!" Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. He felt even more disgusted with these women who overestimated themselves in the harem. If they had a little brain, they should have known that he could not neglect Yao Yao at this time. Even if the Empress really did something to make him angry, he would not let her fall out of favor for the sake of her children. But some people were self-righteous and really thought that Yao Yao had angered him.
Not to mention that he had always spoiled Yao Yao. How could his relationship with her be affected by a few insignificant women?
Eunuch Fu could hear that Mo Rongzhan was dissatisfied with the women in the harem. He buried his head even lower, "Your Majesty, the Empress isn't in the palace. Then who should we look for to make decisions for the various departments?"
There were big and small matters happening in the palace every day. Not to mention that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. All kinds of rewards were coming down from all departments, including outside the palace. It was impossible to not have someone in charge. As servants, they couldn't make decisions for their masters. They didn't know what the Emperor had planned!
Mo Rongzhan was silent for a while, "Have Shu Fei temporarily manage the affairs of the palace!"
Eunuch Fu didn't hesitate to agree in a low voice. The Emperor was planning on having Shu Fei wake up!
"Leave. Wake zhen up in an hour," Mo Rongzhan said faintly. There was still an hour before morning court. He closed his eyes slightly and it was about time.
When a sliver of white appeared in the east, the entire Imperial Palace awoke from the darkness. Mo Rongzhan walked energetically towards the main hall. Next, he should be free to deal with those things hiding in the shadows!
Hu Yue 'er had a good night's sleep. When she opened her eyes, the Emperor's decree came from outside. She stilled, not understanding why the Emperor would send a decree at this time. She immediately had Xiang Qiao come over to help her wash and change, "Who is it that came to send the decree?"
Xiang Qiao was even more nervous than her, her voice trembling slightly, "Niangniang, it's … … it's Eunuch Fu!"
"Niangniang, it must be that the Emperor thought of you!" Xiang Huan suppressed her shrill voice, "As expected, the Empress not being here is the best for niangniang!"
Hu Yue 'er coldly shouted, "Shut up! Can you say something like that! Slap yourself twenty times later! "
Xiang Huan's face paled. She had been too pleased and forgotten her limits!
Even though she was scolding the palace maid, Hu Yue 'er couldn't help but feel anticipation. Maybe … … maybe the good luck that belonged to her was finally coming. The Emperor had sent the Empress out of the palace, could it be … … that he was planning to start favoring the hougong?
Maybe it really was so. After all, the Emperor had too few heirs. Favoring the hougong, getting rain and dew equally, it would be faster to have heirs. If she could really obtain the Emperor's favour, she had to remember the lesson of the Empress. She couldn't be narrow-minded, couldn't be jealous … …
"Niangniang, it's done!" Xiang Qiao interrupted Hu Yue 'er's thoughts!
Hu Yue 'er came back to her senses. When she realized what she was thinking, her face flushed red. There was still no sign of the matter yet she seemed to think that she could replace the Empress!
"Quickly go and receive the decree!" Hu Yue 'er said.
She led the people of Xiu He Palace to kneel down in the main hall to receive the decree. When she heard that the Emperor had her temporarily take over the hougong, she was completely dazed!
The Emperor … … gave her to take over the hougong. She was going to replace the Empress … …
Was this a dream?
Then let her never wake up!
