Ye Zhen returned to the prince's residence before dawn.
Nuan Ren had been waiting for her outside the door. When she saw her coming back, she hurried forward and asked her in a low voice, "Miss Lu, are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Ye Zhen nodded gently and entered the prince's residence with Nuan Ren. Tonight, Lu Wushuang knew so quickly that Fu De brought a palace maid from the prince's residence to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She must have sent someone to keep an eye on her. She didn't want people to know her true identity.
Nuan Ren looked at Ye Zhen up and down. Seeing that she was not going to serve the emperor, she asked in a low voice, "Why did the emperor summon you?"
Ye Zhen thought for a moment and whispered, "Today, the emperor ate the medicinal diet I made for the little prince and felt a little uncomfortable. He called me over for questioning."
"Is the emperor all right?" Nuan Ren was shocked. She knew that if anything happened to the emperor, it would be Lu Yaoyao who would be harmed in the end.
"It's all right. If something happened, would I still be able to come back?" Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Sister Nuan Ren, you have been waiting for me for a long time. Hurry up and rest. I'm fine."
Nuan Ren breathed a sigh of relief. "You should also rest. It's almost dawn."
After dawn, she would continue to make breakfast for the little prince.
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Back in the room, Ye Zhen had a good night's sleep. She was in a good mood. The only unexpected gain tonight was to see Lu Wushuang fall out of favor.
This had not happened in the past two years. If she had not become Lu Yaoyao, perhaps Lu Wushuang would continue to be favored. Her rebirth had an impact.
However, Ye Zhen was also very clear that Mo Rongzhan did not really want to abolish Lu Wushuang. Otherwise, he would not just ground her.
It was probably because of Lu Lingzhi, who had just gone to war.
Mo Rongzhan was a man who was very suitable to be a king. He knew the art of balance and how to make people loyal to him.
In any case, Ye Zhen was still happy to see Lu Wushuang punished. This was just the beginning.
Compared with Ye Zhen's bright mood, Mo Rongzhan's mood was not so good.
How could he be in a good mood after being despised?
Fu De sent Lu Wushuang back to the Kunning Palace and let the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs take Dai Ping and the others away. Only then did he return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to serve Mo Rongzhan.
"Your Majesty, do you still want to rest a little longer?" Ford asked in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan's face darkened. "Lu Yaoyao returned to the prince's residence?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Lu has gone back." Fu De replied, thinking that the emperor seemed to be very concerned about Lu Yaoyao.
Mo Rongzhan pursed his lips. Just the thought of Lu Yaoyao's disdainful expression made his blood boil. "Bring me the albums of those beauties."
Why should he care about a woman's opinion? He was the ruler of a country, what kind of woman could he not have?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ford was stunned for a moment before he hurried to find the dusty album in the corner.
Not long after, Mo Rongzhan looked at the albums one by one and threw them away. The more he looked, the more annoyed he became. After looking at them for a long time, none of them caught his eye.
Fu De, who was watching from the side, was frightened. In his opinion, all of these girls were as beautiful as flowers and jade. Although they couldn't compare to the Third Young Lady of the Lu Family, they were all beauties. Could it be that the Emperor didn't like any of them?
In the end, Mo Rongzhan simply stopped looking at them and threw all the albums out. He asked angrily, "What is the Ministry of Internal Affairs doing? Are they trying to fool us with these albums?"
"Your Majesty, these are … are all the young ladies of the capital's aristocratic families." Who would dare to fool the Emperor? They wouldn't dare to send them to him unless they had gone through thousands of trials and tribulations.
Mo Rongzhan frowned. "Send the albums to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. Let the Empress Dowager choose a few concubines for us."
"Yes, Your Majesty." It seemed that none of them could satisfy the Emperor.
… …
… …
The first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds. The entire sky seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. The capital, which had been silent for the entire night, slowly woke up.
Pei shi woke Lu Shiming up. "Husband, hurry and get up."
Lu Shiming narrowed his eyes. "I'm on break today. There's no need to get up so early."
"Yaoyao didn't come back yesterday. Hurry and go to the academy to see if something happened." Pei shi said. She had never been separated from her daughter for so many days. She really missed it.
Hearing this, Lu Shiming hurriedly sat up. "I'll do it."
Pei shi hurriedly helped him change. After busying herself for a while, Lu Shiming planned to go out. Who knew that when he reached the main entrance, he would be stopped by Old Madam Lu.
"What? In the palace? " Pei shi looked at Old Madam Lu in shock. When did Yaoyao go to the palace? Why didn't they know?
Old Madam Lu said with a smile, "It's the little prince who wants to see her. You should know that the little prince has been ill these days. He and Yaoyao can be considered to have known each other before. Yaoyao even saved his life. It's normal for him to want to see Yaoyao."
Pei shi was a little surprised. When did the little prince become so close to Yaoyao? He wanted to see her even when he was sick. She remembered that … the little prince was only ten years old.
"Yaoyao is now accompanying the Empress Dowager. You don't have to worry. She'll leave the palace in two days." Old Madam Lu said with a smile.
"Mother, how did she become accompanying the Empress Dowager?" Lu Shiming asked in surprise.
Old Madam Lu said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager especially likes Yaoyao after seeing her. This time, she conveniently let Yaoyao stay to accompany her."
This was also Yaoyao's good fortune. It was rare for Yaoyao to catch the Empress Dowager's eye. It would also be beneficial for Yaoyao in the future.
Pei shi didn't know whether to be happy or nervous. "I hope nothing happens to Yaoyao in the palace."
"Yaoyao is in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Benevolent Peace. What else can go wrong?" Old Madam Lu said with a smile. She was actually worried last night. She was only relieved when the Empress Dowager asked Aunt Cheng to tell her personally.
"I really don't know what the Empress Dowager likes about this girl." Pei shi laughed. Then thinking that this matter might make Old Madam Lu unhappy, she asked in a low voice, "Mother, does sister-in-law know about this?"
Old Madam Lu said lightly, "This has nothing to do with her. Yaoyao's matters are not up to her to decide."
When Pei shi heard this, she felt relieved. Her eyes were a little red. "Mother, thank you."
Old Madam Lu had looked for her before. She said that she wanted to be in charge of Yaoyao's marriage. At that time, she rejected it. However, she was still very worried. If sister-in-law was in charge of the family, would she interfere in Yaoyao's matters?
Now that Old Madam Lu had spoken, she could finally be at ease.
No matter what sister-in-law wanted to do, there would always be Old Madam Lu to protect Yaoyao.
"All of you go back. Only you know about this matter. Don't mention it to others." Old Madam Lu said.
Pei shi responded with a smile. She pulled Lu Shiming's sleeve. "Mother, then we'll go back first."
"Go! Go!" Old Madam Lu smiled and nodded.
