Ye Zhen came to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. She wanted to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager and go back. The Empress Dowager was reluctant to let her go back like this. She wanted her to stay in the palace for a few more days to regain the weight she had lost.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, she thought that if she went back now, she would have to pretend to care for Lu Lingzhi, so she didn't insist and stayed in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful.
She and the Empress Dowager were talking about the matter of Mo Rongyi playing polo just now. Just as they finished talking, they heard the little palace maid outside report that Consort Xu Xian had come.
The Empress Dowager invited Xu Huiru in with a smile. She seemed to like her very much.
Ye Zhen's impression of Xu Huiru was somewhat reserved. Before she married Mo Rongzhan, she and Xu Huiru were in the same college. Neither of them liked each other, but Xu Huiru was able to pretend to be very close to her. She did a lot of things behind her back, which she later learned.
With her appearance and mind, it was not difficult for her to be favored in the palace. Thinking that Mo Rongzhan might like Xu Huiru, Ye Zhen's heart slipped a trace of inexplicable irritation.
"This concubine greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager bless you." Xu Huiru's actions were polite and she was very intimate with the Empress Dowager.
"Get up," the Empress Dowager said with a smile and asked Xu Huiru to sit at the side.
Xu Huiru looked at Ye Zhen with a gentle smile. "I heard that Princess Furong went to Golden Tree City. Did she just come back?"
It seemed that Lu Yaoyao really knew how to please the Empress Dowager.
Ye Rou understood what she meant and smiled faintly. "Yes, I came back yesterday."
"The princess seems to have lost some weight. I heard that the Marquis of Tranquil Sun was seriously injured. Is he better?" Xu Huiru's words were sincere, as if she was very worried about Lu Lingzhi.
"Thank you, Consort Xian, for your concern." Ye Zhen responded to her with ease.
Xu Huiru turned to the Empress Dowager with a smile, "Empress Dowager, chen qie has made a copy of the Mercy Incantation for you."
The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to copy these things? Just serve His Majesty well and let aijia hold a little imperial grandson as soon as possible. "
"Empress Dowager, these … these are two different things." Xu Huiru pretended to lower her head shyly, but the feeling in her heart was very complicated. She could see that the emperor didn't hate her. Occasionally, he would go to Xinhe Palace. Sometimes, he would sit there for most of the night. There were several times when she thought that she could serve him in bed, but the emperor didn't do anything in the end.
She even suspected that she had done something wrong, so the Emperor refused to touch her.
Seeing her shy appearance, Ye Zhen felt even more irritated.
The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "Aijia knows of your filial piety. It hasn't been long since the Emperor ascended the throne, so it's inevitable that he will put all his energy into the affairs of the state. You have to be more considerate of him. Naturally, the Emperor will like to go to your palace."
It seemed that the Empress Dowager really liked Xu Huiru. If it were Lu Wushuang, she would not have said such a thing.
"This concubine will pay more attention to the emperor in the future." With the Empress Dowager's words, Xu Huiru felt that she had more excuses to care about the emperor.
Ye Zhen lowered her head, the corners of her mouth tightened. It was one thing for her to hate Mo Rongzhan now, but it was not false that she had loved him for several years. Seeing him hugging two beauties on his left and right, she felt … a little indignant.
At this time, a palace maid came in from outside, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine is feeling unwell today. She heard that Princess Furong has entered the palace and wants to invite Princess Furong over for a chat."
What does Lu Wushuang want to see me for? Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with impatience.
When Xu Huiru looked up, she happened to see the expression in Ye Zhen's eyes. She bowed her head and smiled.
The Empress Dowager said to Ye Zhen, "Imperial Concubine Lu must be worried about the Marquis of Anyang. Yao Yao, you go."
Ye Zhen didn't want to go at all, but since the Empress Dowager said so, what else could she do?
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Ye Zhen answered in a low voice.
When she arrived at Kunning Palace, Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Lu Wushuang. "Imperial Concubine, what can I do for you?"
Lu Wushuang covered her chest with one hand. "Yao Yao, you are back. Tell me, what's wrong with my eldest brother?"
"My eldest brother has come back. The remaining poison in his body has not been cleared. He still needs Doctor Qi to detoxify the poison in his body." Ye Zhen looked at Lu Wushuang faintly. "I heard that the Imperial Concubine is not feeling well. Why didn't you call for an imperial doctor?"
Lu Wushuang showed a weak look. "I was worried about my eldest brother. Now that I know he is back safely, I am relieved."
"Since the Imperial Concubine is fine, I will go first." Ye Zhen said. Don't think that I can't see that Lu Wushuang has no problem at all. Who is she pretending to be sick for?
Lu Wushuang hurriedly stopped her. "Yao Yao, the Emperor has not come to me for a long time. Can you persuade the Emperor? I want to see him."
Ye Zhen almost laughed out loud. If Mo Rongzhan doesn't come to see Lu Wushuang, does she have a way to make him dote on her again?
"Imperial Concubine, how can the Emperor listen to me? If you want to see him, just send someone to invite him." Ye Zhen said.
She still remembered how Mo Rongzhan doted on Lu Wushuang in his previous life. At that time, he never doubted Lu Wushuang. He always thought that she was the one who saved him. Even if Lu Wushuang was jealous, he could indulge her. Even if he was indifferent, he never let her status be threatened.
In this life … Ye Zhen still couldn't understand why Mo Rongzhan suddenly remembered that she once said her nickname. Why couldn't he remember it at all before?
Lu Wushuang said bitterly, "I don't know what method Xu Huiru used to coax the Emperor to not come to me. Yao Yao, you are now a princess. You can always say a few words for me in front of the Emperor."
"How do you want me to speak for you?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. Without Lu Lingzhi, how long could Lu Wushuang survive in the palace?
She didn't even need Xu Huiru! After losing Mo Rongzhan's favor, she should at least know how to show filial piety to the Empress Dowager. Yet, she pretended to be ill every day and refused to greet the Empress Dowager.
"Just say that I miss him and want to see him. If I can't see him, I can't get better." Lu Wushuang thought that Ye Zhen was willing to find Mo Rongzhan for her and immediately said happily.
Ye Zhen suddenly felt that she didn't need to do anything to Lu Wushuang at all. With Lu Wushuang's brain, she could already go to the dead end and never return.
"I'll do my best." Ye Zhen said faintly, "However, the Empress Dowager seems to have asked Consort Xu Xian to pay more attention to the Emperor. I think … the Emperor is unlikely to see me."
When Lu Wushuang heard that Xu Huiru was competing with her for the Emperor's favor again, her face suddenly became ugly and black.
Ye Zhen left the Kunning Palace in a happy mood. For Lu Wushuang, she didn't need to do anything at all. She believed that it would not be long before Lu Wushuang brought about her own destruction.
"Princess." On the cobblestone path, Fu De, who was hiding nearby, saw Ye Zhen coming out of the Kunning Palace and immediately appeared.
