?
Every corner of the palace was lit. The whole palace looked like it had fallen into the stars. Lu Wushuang stood on the stone steps of the Kunning Palace, looking at the road ahead, looking forward to the appearance of a tall figure.
She waited for a long time, but still did not see the person she wanted to see.
The little eunuch who went to inquire about the news came back and respectfully knelt in front of her, "Your Highness, the emperor just left the imperial study and went in the direction of the prince's residence."
The tense look on Lu Wushuang's face eased a little. There were no other concubines in the palace, but it did not mean that there were no other women. Which of those maids did not try their best to get Mo Rongzhan's attention?
If she did not keep a close eye on him, she did not know what those cheap maids would do.
"Your Highness, the little prince is seriously ill. It is normal for the emperor to visit him." Dai Ping whispered.
Lu Wushuang's mouth floated a faint smile, "I naturally know. Do you think I should visit the little prince? After all, he is also my uncle."
Dai Ping did not speak, but the silent aunt next to her glanced at Lu Wushuang. She wanted to remind Lu Wushuang that no matter how noble her Highness was, she was just an imperial concubine, not an empress. She did not have the status to visit the little prince.
If Imperial Concubine Lu's words were spread out, she would inevitably become a joke.
No matter how much a concubine was favored, she was just a concubine.
Lu Wushuang looked back at her, "Aunt He, what do you think?"
Aunt He bowed her head and said, "Your Highness cares about the little prince. The Empress Dowager and the emperor will naturally understand your intentions. However, it is not appropriate for Your Highness to go to the prince's residence. It is better to go to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace first."
"What you said makes sense." After all, the prince's residence was not a place where concubines could go casually, even if the little prince lived there.
Lu Wushuang tidied herself up and made sure that she was beautiful enough before going to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace. She had not seen Mo Rongzhan for several days. Today, she must bring him to the Kunning Palace.
Mo Rongzhan was a young man. It was impossible for him to not have a woman for so long, unless … he had another woman by his side.
However, this was impossible. With Lu Wushuang here, which palace maid dared to be presumptuous?
When they arrived at the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, the Empress Dowager had just woken up from her nap. These past few days, because of the Xiao Wangye's illness, the Empress Dowager hadn't been able to sleep well. It was only today that she could finally relax.
Lu Wushuang bowed respectfully and explained the purpose of her visit. She wanted to visit the young prince.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and looked at Lu Wushuang. She was dressed so enchanting and charming. Did she really care about the little prince? He was afraid that the drunkard had an ulterior motive.
"Imperial Concubine is very considerate. It's not easy for the young prince to rest, it's better not to let anyone disturb him for the time being." Originally, she didn't have any feelings of liking or disgust towards Imperial Consort Lu. In any case, it was fine as long as the Emperor liked her. However, after the incident where Lu Yaoyao was beaten, she didn't like Imperial Consort Lu very much.
Lu Wushuang was not willing to go back like this. "Empress Dowager, I heard that the young prince's illness has improved, so I want to go and see him."
The Empress Dowager frowned unhappily. "It's getting late. If Imperial Consort really cares about the young prince, it's not too late to go to the Prince's residence tomorrow."
Lu Yaoyao was now in the Prince's residence. With Lu Wushuang's jealous temper, if she saw Lu Yaoyao, she might get angry again. The Empress Dowager didn't want Lu Yaoyao to suffer inexplicably again.
"Empress Dowager …" Lu Wushuang continued to speak, unwilling to give up.
"Imperial Consort Lu, if you want to see the Emperor, it's better to send someone to invite him. You don't have to waste your time here." The Empress Dowager pointed out the real intention of Lu Wushuang.
Lu Wushuang's face turned blue and white. She cursed the Empress Dowager several times in her heart. Then, she gritted her teeth and bowed. "Since the Empress Dowager does not allow me to visit the young prince, I will go back first."
The Empress Dowager was too lazy to pay attention to the anger in her words. She waved her hand and let her leave.
Lu Wushuang returned to the Kunning Palace angrily. "That damn …"
"Imperial Consort!" Dai Ping hurriedly stopped her. "The walls have ears!"
If the Imperial Consort were to say something that she shouldn't have, the entire Lu Clan would be implicated.
Lu Wushuang could not vent the anger in her heart. Her eyes were red with anger. Her intuition told her that this matter was not simple. "Why does the Empress Dowager not allow me to go to the Prince's residence?"
Dai Ping whispered, "Imperial Consort, the Empress Dowager is clearly targeting you."
Aunt He sighed in her heart. Did Imperial Consort Lu dress up like this to care about the young prince? She wanted to go to the Prince's residence to seduce the Emperor. It would be strange if the Empress Dowager would let her go.
"Dai Ping, go to the Prince's residence tomorrow and find out what the Emperor is doing tonight." Lu Wushuang had a bad feeling in her heart. She always felt that the Emperor was at the Prince's residence so late at night.
"Yes, Imperial Consort." Dai Ping immediately responded.
Aunt He could not help but whisper, "Imperial Consort, the Emperor will not like you to investigate the Prince's residence. If the Emperor knows, I am afraid he will be unhappy."
Lu Wushuang said with a sullen face, "Then don't let the Emperor know."
If she knew which of the Prince's palace maids dared to seduce the Emperor, even if it would make the Emperor unhappy, she would not let that lowly maid go.
When Aunt He heard Lu Wushuang's determined tone, she knew that no matter how she persuaded, she would not listen.
…
In the Prince's residence, in the bedroom.
Mo Rongyi slept for two hours. If he had not been awakened by hunger, he would have continued to sleep.
"Imperial Brother, why are you here?" Mo Rongyi woke up and saw Mo Rongzhan sitting next to him. He looked at him in surprise.
"I heard that you no longer feel pain after eating, so I came to see you." Mo Rongzhan looked at his complexion, "You look better."
Mo Rongyi touched his chest, "Except for feeling hungry, I don't seem to feel any pain."
"Send someone to the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a meal. I will accompany the Young Prince to eat here." Mo Rongzhan ordered.
Mo Rongyi hurriedly said, "Imperial Brother, I want to eat Lu Yaoyao's cooking."
He was afraid that eating food from the Imperial Kitchen would cause his whole body to ache.
Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly and ordered Nuan Ren, "Go and call Lu Yaoyao."
Nuan Ren bowed and replied, "Replying to Your Majesty, Miss Lu is already in the small kitchen preparing a medicinal diet for the Young Prince."
"Go and ask her to bring the medicinal diet over." Mo Rongyi immediately shouted happily.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows. He could not understand why his brother liked Lu Yaoyao so much. What was so good about her?
"Fude, go to the Imperial Kitchen and bring the meal for Imperial Brother." Mo Rongyi said again.
"Can't you let me eat your medicinal diet?" Mo Rongzhan blurted out. Even he did not know why he asked this.
Mo Rongyi froze for a moment, "Imperial Brother, Yaoyao only made it for me. I am afraid it is not enough for you."
What he said made sense. Mo Rongzhan was speechless.
