Zhao Rao had long suspected that Concubine De had used some unknown method to kill her mother. After investigating for so many years, every time she found evidence, Lu Wushuang knew it was related to the incense. No wonder Concubine De never fought with Lu Wushuang. For so many years, Lu Wushuang had been domineering in the palace.
She didn't want to know how Lu Lingzhi found out. Now that she had a clue, she would definitely be able to find evidence.
"Now that I have said everything I need to say, you have to get me out of here." Lu Wushuang cried anxiously. She was afraid that if she did not let Zhao Rao take her away today, she would never be able to leave this place.
"I will persuade father to save you." Zhao Rao whispered, "Now it is the founding banquet, I can't go to Lu Yaoyao."
Lu Wushuang looked at Zhao Rao outside the door with wide eyes. All her hopes were on Zhao Rao, even though she knew in her heart that this hope was actually very slim.
"Zhao Rao, you said you would get me out of here." Lu Wushuang cried.
"Who do you think I am? How can Lu Yaoyao put me in her eyes? I can only ask father to help you." Zhao Ran glanced at Lu Wushuang. Such a selfish person who would kill others to achieve her goals, if it were her, she would have killed her long ago.
There must be something hateful about a poor person.
Lu Wushuang looked at Zhao Rao. For the first time, she felt despair and fear. She always felt that as long as her brother was there, he would help her with everything. But now, where was Lu Lingzhi?
They all said that Lu Lingzhi was dead, but she did not believe it. She knew that Zhao Yong would not save her. She could only rely on Lu Lingzhi, who was nowhere to be found.
"I know my brother is still alive. Help me find him and tell him my situation." Lu Wushuang saw that Zhao Rao was about to leave and hurriedly said, "I will tell you who to find to get the evidence of Concubine De's poisoning."
Zhao Rao, who was about to leave, paused, "Who?"
"Swear, swear that you will find my brother …" Lu Wushuang said.
"I swear, if Lu Lingzhi is still alive, I will let him know your situation." Zhao Rao said with a blank expression.
Lu Wushuang looked at her for a while, "Beauty Wang was poisoned. She thought Beauty Wang was dead. I hid Beauty Wang in Yeting. Concubine De did not know. You can find Beauty Wang, and Liu Qiao 'er … She must be using Concubine De's incense now."
Zhao Rao nodded lightly. "I understand."
Hearing the sound of Zhao Rao leaving, Lu Wushuang sat on the ground dejectedly. She hoped that her brother was still alive. If he knew her situation, he would come to save her.
Hong Ying, who had been hiding in the dark, came out and looked at the closed door. She left silently and told Ye Zhen about the conversation between Lu Wushuang and Zhao Rao.
At the banquet, Ye Zhen excused herself to leave.
"Zhao Rao has already left?" Ye Zhen didn't expect that the Princess of the Qi Kingdom would go to see Lu Wushuang. If she didn't know the content of their conversation, she would have thought that they had deep feelings for each other.
"Niang niang, should we capture her?" Hong Ying asked in a low voice.
Ye Rou smiled, "No, Zhao Rao has no intention of saving Lu Wushuang. She just wants to know the truth. If she can help me find Lu Lingzhi, I will be grateful to her. Let her be."
Hong Ying answered in a low voice. Zhao Rao, who had returned to the main hall, did not know that she had been watched by Ye Zhen. She was full of worries and was still thinking about how to deal with Concubine De.
When the banquet ended, it was already late at night. After seeing off all the distinguished guests, Ye Zhen was so tired that she collapsed on Mo Rongzhan.
She got up early this morning and had been busy since the morning. There was no time to rest at all. Moreover, she could not relax because she had to deal with people like Beitang Yu who deliberately made things difficult for her. Fortunately, it was finally over.
Mo Rongzhan carried her in his arms. "Are you very tired?"
"I can't wait to sleep for three days and three nights." Ye Zhen closed her eyes. She was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to walk.
Shui Yichen and Huang Fuchen came out of the main hall just in time to see Mo Rongzhan holding Ye Zhen in his arms. They both lowered their eyes and did not look at the scene.
Mo Rongzhan knew that they were watching from behind, but he did not put Ye Zhen down. He carried her back to the back palace. On the way back, Ye Zhen had already fallen asleep in his arms. She was still snoring softly, probably because she was too tired.
Looking at Ye Zhen like this, Mo Rongzhan felt very distressed. She was used to being pampered since she was a child. How could she withstand such fatigue?
"Go fetch some water." Mo Rongzhan ordered the palace maid in a low voice.
He did not let the palace maid do it. Instead, he personally wrung a silk towel and washed the rouge on Ye Zhen's face. In order to appear dignified and dignified today, her makeup was thicker than usual. Now that the rouge was washed away, her fair and delicate skin was revealed. Her brows were less mature, and she looked more elegant.
She seemed to be the same as when he first saw her. It was as if she had not changed after so many years.
Hong Ling, who was waiting on the side, glanced at Mo Rongzhan and was touched by his gentleness. In the past, she was opposed to the empress marrying him again. She was afraid that the empress would repeat the same mistakes. She just did not expect that the emperor would treat her so well after falling in love with her.
She was careful as if she was handling a rare treasure. Even the movement of wiping her face was so gentle, for fear that it would hurt the empress.
"All right, go down." Mo Rongzhan threw the silk towel into the copper basin and let Hong Ling and the other palace maids withdraw.
"Your Majesty, this slave will serve the empress to change her clothes." Hong Ling said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan waved his hand lightly. "No need. I am here. You all go down."
Hong Ling remembered that every time the emperor and the empress were alone, they did not like to be served by palace maids. She squatted down and said, "This slave will take her leave."
Looking back, she found that the palace maid serving by the bedroom door was staring straight at Mo Rongzhan. She couldn't even come back to her senses.
"What are you doing?" Hong Ling's face sank and she woke the palace maid up in a low voice. This palace maid was selected to enter the palace a while ago. She looked honest and diligent, so she was trained for a few days. These days, she was too busy, so she came to serve the empress. Who knew that she was so careless?
The palace maid blushed and hurriedly lowered her head. "Yes."
It seems that this palace maid can't be used anymore.
In the bedroom, Mo Rongzhan did not notice this scene at all. All his thoughts were on Ye Zhen. He took off the heavy brocade robe for her and then hugged her to sleep again. Although he had tried his best to be as light as possible, it was inevitable that he was a little jerky. However, he did not wake the girl up.
It seemed that she was really tired.
Ye Zhen continued to sleep soundly. Mo Rongzhan kissed her cheek helplessly, thinking that now that the founding ceremony was over, she could return to Jin Kingdom after a few more days of rest.
