Because the news of Lu Lingzhi's great victory came again, the Lu family was in jubilation. Ye Zhen was not in a good mood. She could only say that she drank wine and felt a headache, so she was sent back to bed by the old lady.
Lying on the bed, she stared at the ceiling of the tent with her eyes wide open. Things were different from what she had expected. She remembered that Lu Lingzhi was severely injured in the western vassal state. However, even though the battle of the western vassal state was about to end, he was still fine.
Lu Lingzhi's victory was good news for both Lu Wushuang and the Lu family. But for Ye Zhen, it was bad news.
What should I do? Should I just watch Lu Lingzhi return with a great victory, and then enjoy glory and wealth from then on? It would be even more difficult for me to take revenge.
Ye Zhen was a little confused. She thought that everything was under her control.
Why was Lu Lingzhi not injured?
No, that's not right!
Ye Zhen suddenly sat up straight. She seemed to have heard that he was not injured in the war, but on his way back to the capital … So, it was not the time when he was injured.
Yes, that's it! She needed to wait a little longer.
Ye Zhen's mood suddenly improved. She held the quilt and thought about it. Her mouth evoked a faint smile, and she tried to recall what she heard and saw in the palace in the past two years. Thinking about it, she fell asleep unconsciously.
In the palace, the palace servants were also immersed in the joy and sadness of New Year's Eve. They were happy that the New Year was coming, they could get more rewards for a few days, and they could see more lively scenes. They were sad that they could not reunite with their families and could only hide in the corner and cry secretly.
After Mo Rongzhan and the Empress Dowager had a reunion dinner, they received the good news from Lu Lingzhi.
"It's really good news." The Empress Dowager looked at Mo Rongzhan and smiled.
"It's good news." Mo Rongzhan nodded and put the good news aside. Since he could send Lu Lingzhi to the western vassal state, he naturally knew that he would not lose the war.
The Empress Dowager glanced at him. "Your Majesty, you haven't visited Imperial Consort Lu for a long time."
Lu Lingzhi won the war. He should at least show his favor to the Lu family. Visiting Lu Wushuang was the best way to do so.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "I will go to the Kunning Palace later."
The Empress Dowager said, "Go now. Ah Yi will come over to keep me company for the New Year's Eve. You don't have to stay here with me."
"Mother, then let's do it." Mo Rongzhan frowned. The thought of going to Lu Wushuang's place made him feel annoyed.
Coming out of the Palace of Benevolence and Peace, Mo Rongzhan walked very slowly. He did not want to go to the Kunning Palace. When he saw Lu Wushuang, he would think of her deceiving him. He would think of Yaoyao, whom he had mistaken for.
He couldn't help but ask Lu Wushuang what she had done to his Yaoyao.
"Your Majesty, we've arrived at Kunning Palace," Ford reminded in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan's brows furrowed even more. How did they arrive so quickly?
The maid guarding Kunning Palace fell to her knees. "This servant greets the emperor …"
After a while, Lu Wushuang, who was inside, was alarmed. She quickly came out and looked at him with surprise on her face. "Your Majesty, this concubine greets Your Majesty."
Mo Rongzhan looked down at Lu Wushuang. The face that he once thought was bright and beautiful now looked vulgar and boring. He said lightly, "Get up!"
Lu Wushuang was excited. She had been waiting for Mo Rongzhan for too long. She thought that he was tired of her. She did not expect him to come.
It seemed that he still had her in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this concubine personally made dumplings today. Would you like to try it?" Lu Wushuang walked beside Mo Rongzhan meekly and carefully looked at his cold and indifferent face.
When he was on the battlefield, he liked to eat the dumplings she made the most.
"No, I have already eaten." Mo Rongzhan said lightly and sat down on the kang. "Just now, there was good news from the western vassal state. Your elder brother won another battle and captured the king of the western vassal state."
Lu Wushuang's face lit up. "That's great! Your Majesty, you will soon be able to unify the country."
Mo Rongzhan nodded indifferently. "Imperial Concubine Lu, I heard that you have been visiting the Empress Dowager recently?"
"Your Majesty, this concubine was not sensible in the past and made you angry. In the future, this concubine will not do this." Lu Wushuang whispered. She now clearly understood that Mo Rongzhan was no longer the former King of Qin. He was a high and mighty king of a country. He was not a man she would compromise with just because she threw a tantrum.
"It is a great thing to know one's mistakes and correct them." Mo Rongzhan smelled the rich rouge fragrance on Lu Wushuang's body. He missed the faint fruity fragrance on Yaoyao's body.
Whether it was his Yaoyao or Lu Yaoyao, the fragrance on their bodies was very attractive, unlike other women who only had the fragrance of rouge.
When Lu Wushuang heard Mo Rongzhan's words, she thought that he had forgiven her. She smiled more charmingly and gently sat beside him. "Your Majesty, Wushuang misses you so much. I will not make you angry in the future."
When she was about to lean on Mo Rongzhan, he stood up. "It's good that you know you are wrong. I still have something to do. You can rest now."
Lu Wushuang looked at Mo Rongzhan in astonishment. He left just like that? Didn't he come to her place to sleep? "Your Majesty, are you still angry with me?"
Mo Rongzhan had already walked to the door. He did not even look at her. "No."
"Then where do you want to go? Are you going to Concubine Xu Xian's place? "Lu Wushuang could not control her jealousy and asked.
"Lu Wushuang, you have crossed the line!" Mo Rongzhan looked at her coldly.
"Your Majesty, I …" Lu Wushuang was shocked. How could she not control her temper again?
Mo Rongzhan had already strode out. No matter how Lu Wushuang called him, he did not look back.
Lu Wushuang looked at the tall figure disappearing into the night and burst into tears.
"Your Highness …" Aunt He called her helplessly.
"He must have gone to find Xu Huiru. He must have gone to look for her!" Lu Wushuang cried.
Aunt He wanted to say that even if the emperor went to find Concubine Xu Xian, so what? Could she stop him?
Lu Wushuang turned and ran to the bedroom. She threw herself on the bed and cried.
She never thought that her fall from grace would come so quickly. She was caught off guard. What went wrong? Everything was fine before …
"Your Highness, why are you angry at the emperor again?" Aunt He whispered. "You have forgotten that the emperor is the king of a country."
Lu Wushuang cried. "If it weren't for my brother winning the war, he would not have come to see me. Now the emperor only has Xu Huiru in his heart!"
"Your Highness, keep your voice down." Aunt He was shocked and hurriedly stopped Lu Wushuang from causing trouble.
"You, did the emperor go to see Xu Huiru?" Lu Wushuang bit her lip and said.
