The carriage drove out of the palace. Zhao Rao leaned against the wall of the carriage and took a deep breath. Tonight, she was inexplicably able to see Lu Wushuang, which made her very nervous. She did not know if Lu Yaoyao would know and what she would do. Now that she was out of the palace, she was relieved.
It seemed that Lu Yaoyao did not know that she went to see Lu Wushuang.
When the carriage was a distance away from the palace, Zhao Rao asked the maidservant sitting on the shaft, "Where is the emperor's carriage?"
"Your Highness, I did not see the emperor's carriage. He should not have left the palace yet." The maidservant replied in a low voice.
Zhao Rao closed her eyes and thought about what Lu Wushuang said.
Concubine De killed her mother with incense, but how did she do it? Although she was only five years old at that time, she remembered that her father, the Emperor, had ordered people to seal up the entire palace. Everything that her mother had used had been checked, but nothing suspicious was found. Her mother was even more careful when she ate, and almost everything she ate was checked several times. How did Concubine De kill her mother without anyone knowing?
She tried hard to think, but found that no matter how she thought about it, it was too impossible.
The carriage suddenly stopped. Zhao Rao was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice anything wrong until she heard a low voice. "What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Rao suddenly opened her eyes and stared in horror at the handsome face magnifying in front of her. "You … Why are you here?"
"Where did you go in the palace just now? You were absent-minded after coming back. Didn't you even notice that I got on the carriage? "Cheng Zheng gently touched her cheek. Seeing that she dodged back, his face slightly sank.
"How did you get on the carriage? Even if you are my uncle, you should not do this. Aren't you afraid that people outside will gossip? " Zhao Rao felt that he was a little unscrupulous. There were servants and maidservants outside. He just got on the carriage like this. Wasn't he afraid that they would pass the news to her father?
Cheng Zheng muffled a laugh and looked at her with burning eyes. "Are you worried about me?"
What a silly girl. If people outside were not trustworthy, would he come up like this?
Zhao Rao was a little embarrassed by his laughter. She thought about it carefully and understood why he laughed like this. "You … Have you already bought the people around me?"
"These are not important matters. Tell me, what did you encounter in the palace?" If it wasn't for Zhao Yong, he would have gone out to look for her. Seeing her leave absent-mindedly, he knew that something must have happened to her.
Isn't that important? Then what was important? Zhao Rao was so angry that she wanted to scratch him with her claws. "When did you bribe the people around me? Apart from the people outside, who else around me are your people? "
Cheng Zheng looked at her angry look and felt a little itchy in his heart. Before Zhao Rao could finish scolding him, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. He took her breath away and sucked on her lips, unwilling to let go.
Zhao Rao became even angrier. She forcefully hammered his shoulder, but she was afraid that the noise would be too loud. Even if they were Cheng Zheng's people, even if they heard, they wouldn't dare to speak carelessly. She still didn't want others to know that she and her uncle had done such a thing.
The harder she tried, the more she couldn't push him away. Instead, he hugged her even tighter. She could clearly feel his body getting hotter and hotter.
Zhao Rao didn't dare to resist and let him kiss her.
His breathing became heavier and heavier. Knowing that he would not be able to hold on any longer, he finally left her lips. "You will get used to it, Rong 'er."
"I saw Lu Wushuang in the palace," Zhao Rao whispered. She felt uncomfortable in his arms.
"How did you see her?" Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Zhao Rao told him how she found the Cold Palace. "… Maybe the palace people were busy at the banquet. Didn't they say that a lot of people ran away from the palace? There were not many palace people. The layout of the palace is the same as that of the Kingdom of Qi. I just found the Cold Palace by luck. I didn't expect to see Lu Wushuang. "
Even if there were not many people in the palace, the palace of Yuan Country was not a place where she could go as she pleased. Her every move tonight must have been seen by someone. However, why didn't Lu Yaoyao say anything and let Zhao Rao out of the palace just like that?
"Tell me, what did you say to Lu Wushuang?" Cheng Zheng's tone was a little serious.
Zhao Rao woke up at this time and also found that tonight in the palace was a little strange. She told Cheng Zheng what she said after seeing Lu Wushuang. Now, except for him, she could not trust anyone else. With the experience of her childhood, she did not dare to go to Zhao Yong rashly. She did not want to alert the enemy and give Concubine De a chance to destroy the evidence.
"Concubine De killed the late Empress with incense?" Cheng Zheng did not expect Lu Wushuang to say such a thing. He frowned slightly, worried that she deliberately said this to seduce Zhao Rao. "We have to investigate this matter when we go back. We can't just believe what Lu Wushuang said."
"You don't believe what I said?" Zhao Rao looked at him angrily. "You still think that Concubine De is a good person and my mother is a bad person?"
Cheng Zheng pinched her nose. "I didn't mean that. Don't make things up. I just don't trust Lu Wushuang. She and Lu Lingzhi have done more than one bad thing. So, I want to find out the truth so that you won't be used by her."
"She said that Beauty Wang is in Ye Court. We will know whether it is true or not when we go back and check." Zhao Yong snorted.
"I will investigate this matter. Don't interfere." Cheng Zheng whispered. "If you find out the truth, it will be easy for Concubine De to bite back."
The whole palace knew that Zhao Rao did not like Concubine De. Even if the truth she found out was true, it would be less credible.
Zhao Rao understood this truth, but she was still a little worried. "Are you willing to avenge my mother?"
"No, your mother is not good to me. I am doing this for you." Cheng Zheng held her chin. "Don't tell the Emperor for the time being."
"I know." Zhao Rao felt that even if she said it, Zhao Yong might not believe her. "Do you know where Lu Lingzhi is?"
Cheng Zheng asked in a low voice. "You really want to find him to save Lu Wushuang."
"I'm just wondering how he disappeared from the world. Lu Yaoyao has been missing for a long time. Doesn't he know anything?" Zhao Rao asked.
"Whether he knows or not, he will know what he needs to know." Cheng Zheng said, "I am going to get off the carriage. You go back to Honglu Temple and have a good rest. Leave this matter to me."
Zhao Rao looked at him for a while. Now it seemed that she could only leave it to him. "Okay."
Cheng Zheng got off the carriage. Seeing that the maid was still looking at him through the curtain, he smiled faintly and let the servant drive away.
"Had a good chat?" The carriage gradually moved away, and a long figure appeared behind Cheng Zheng.
It was Zhao Yong.
