The news of Beauty Wang becoming a concubine naturally reached Zhao Rao's ears.
Concubine De didn't know what it meant, but Zhao Rao was very clear.
What Lu Wushuang said was true! Beauty Wang was murdered by Concubine De. Now that she became a concubine, it meant that her mother was really killed by Concubine De.
"Ding Xiang, go and invite Marquis Anning. I want to see her." Zhao Rao couldn't sit still. She was eager to know the truth.
"Princess, just now you asked me to invite her. Now it's already night time. It's impossible to leave the palace." Ding Xiang said helplessly. Even if the princess wanted to leave the palace, she couldn't, let alone these palace servants.
Zhao Rao was a little annoyed. She was angry that Cheng Zheng didn't say a word today. He didn't even reveal any news to her. Now that Beauty Wang suddenly became a concubine, she felt that something was wrong.
But no matter how anxious she was, she didn't want to see Zhao Yong. He probably wouldn't see her.
"I'll go see uncle tomorrow." Zhao Rao suppressed the anxiety and annoyance in her heart. Anyway, it was only one night. She could wait.
Moreover, there should be someone in the palace who was more anxious than her.
After Zhao Yong learned the truth, he didn't immediately go to convict Concubine De. He came to Fengyi Palace. This was Cheng Ying's former palace. Since her death, it had been empty. No one would come here except Zhao Rao.
He and Cheng Ying were a young couple, and they once had a period of sweet love. He was a strong man, and Cheng Ying was a proud woman. Neither of them were willing to give in to the other, so in the end, he used his power to suppress Cheng Ying. Other than turning her palace maids into concubines, he also pampered many other women. At that time, he did not really like women like Concubine De. He just wanted to let Cheng Ying know that he, Zhao Yong, did not need to give in to any woman. He could have any woman he wanted.
When Cheng Ying died, he didn't see her for the last time. But she once said something. He didn't take it to heart before, but now he felt a little heartache.
At that time, he let other concubines give birth to princes before her. He wanted to completely beat down Cheng Ying's arrogance. When Concubine De gave birth to the second prince, Cheng Ying said to him.
"You're just relying on the fact that I like you. That's why you can hurt me so unscrupulously. Don't worry, from now on, I'll just be the Empress of the Qi Kingdom. Just the Empress."
After she said these words, she really did not oppose him anymore. He thought that she finally recognized that she could not win against him, but now that he thought about it, he understood that she had completely given up on him. She no longer treated herself as his wife, but as the empress.
"I've let you down." Zhao Yong looked at the empty bedroom. "I've also let San 'er down."
How could he make it up to his daughter? Cheng Ying was already dead. Even if he wanted to compensate her, he couldn't do it. He could only compensate Zhao Rao.
That night, Zhao Yong sat there until dawn. When he walked out of his bedroom, the head eunuch came to greet him. "Your Majesty, the Princess has left the palace."
"Mm." Zhao Yong felt a slight headache. "Let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity first."
He had to think about how to deal with Concubine De.
He wouldn't feel pity even if she died a hundred times, but he had to think of the Second Prince and Third Princess.
…
…
Zhao Rao's visit to the Cheng family was like an uninhabited land. She had been here several times. Old Master Cheng was not at home. Everyone knew that Cheng Zheng doted on his niece these years. However, looking at the Princess's aggressive appearance, it seemed that it was not a good thing.
"Princess, the Marquis hasn't gotten up yet."
Cheng Zheng's maid saw Zhao Rao rush into the room and hurriedly stopped her.
Zhao Rao pushed her away and walked into the room with a sullen face.
The maid was Cheng Zheng's confidant. Seeing this situation, she sent away the servants around, lest they heard something they shouldn't hear.
Zhao Rao was anxious to know the truth. She didn't care that Cheng Zheng was still asleep. She rushed to the bed and shook him awake.
Cheng Zheng had woken up when she entered the courtyard, but he didn't expect that this girl would break into his room.
"Wake up!" Zhao Rao pushed Cheng Zheng. She couldn't wait to know what was going on with Beauty Wang.
"It's only been one night, and you want to see me so urgently?" Cheng Zheng opened a pair of dark and deep eyes. His voice was still hoarse from just waking up. It sounded especially charming.
Zhao Rao didn't find him attractive at all. She grabbed his clothes, "What's going on with Beauty Wang? Tell me clearly! "
She was about to sit on him!
Cheng Zheng's eyes became deeper. He held her waist with one hand and pressed her under his body, "Do you know what will happen if you wake up a man who hasn't eaten for a few years so early?"
In the past, when he was in the military camp, he would find women to vent. Later, when he was moved by her, he felt that those women didn't even want to touch them. He endured it for two years and could only kiss her a few times to satisfy his craving. She still had to appear in front of him early in the morning. This was simply torturing him.
"I have something to ask you!" His tall and sturdy body was pressed against hers. She could clearly feel his changes. She glared at him with some embarrassment. At this time, he still had the mood to think about such things!
"En, ask." Cheng Zheng buried his face in her chest. Even if he couldn't get what he wanted, it was good for him to taste some sweetness first.
Zhao Rao forcefully pushed him away. How could she ask him like this!
Cheng Zheng endured and endured, but in the end, he still couldn't hold it in anymore. He grabbed her small white hand and moved it down.
After an hour, he finally felt refreshed and carried Zhao Rao to wash up. It was another test of his endurance that he didn't completely want her.
"You left the palace so early, you haven't eaten breakfast right?" Cheng Zheng hugged the unhappy Zhao Rao and the smile on his face was abnormally gentle.
"I'm not hungry!" Zhao Rao said through gritted teeth. She felt that she was a fool, actually coming to his door early in the morning to be tormented by him.
Cheng Zheng chuckled, feeling incomparably carefree. He had the servants bring over breakfast and forced Zhao Rao to eat a lot before letting her go.
"I know what you want to ask. I originally wanted to tell you yesterday, but I wasn't sure." Cheng Zheng said in a low voice as he held her in his arms, "Beauty Wang still has a son … …"
Cheng Zheng told Zhao Rao everything he had found. By the end, she was so angry that she was trembling in his arms.
"… His Majesty handed the Third Prince to me because he wanted to guard against Concubine De and the two princes." Cheng Zheng gently stroked her back and said softly, "His Majesty will punish Concubine De very soon. Your revenge can be avenged."
"My mother still won't come back." Zhao Rao said with a choked voice. She knew that her mother was killed. All these years, no one had ever believed her.
Cheng Zheng said in a low voice, "You have me in the future."
Zhao Rao looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I want to enter the palace."
She wanted to know how her father would punish Concubine De. She wanted to know what would happen to this woman!
