Mo Rongzhan's handsome and indifferent face was as cold as frost. He looked at Lu Lingzhi coldly and then at Ye Zhen standing behind him. "I will abandon Lu Wushuang as a Taoist nun. Tomorrow, I will send her to the Nianci Temple to be accompanied by the lamp."
The expression on Lu Lingzhi's face at this time was more than just shock. He looked at Mo Rongzhan incredulously. Abandon Shuang 'er as a Taoist nun? This was more cruel than banishing Shuang 'er to the cold palace. How could the emperor have the heart to do such a thing to Shuang' er?
"Yanzhi, Lu Wushuang almost killed me!" Mo Rongzhan whispered. If Xu Huiru hadn't drunk the blood swallow first, he would have been the one poisoned at this time.
Lu Lingzhi's pleading words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say a word.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Lu Lingzhi inquiringly. If he dared to plead for Lu Wushuang's life, then he must know the whereabouts of little Yao Yao. This matter must have something to do with Lu Lingzhi.
"Your Majesty, it is this official's fault for not teaching my sister properly." Lu Lingzhi bowed his head. Since the emperor had decided, it was useless for him to plead. What shocked him the most was … how did the emperor know that Shuang 'er was not his savior? If the emperor did not know the truth, he would not treat Shuang' er like this.
"This has nothing to do with you. You are still injured. Get up and talk." Mo Rongzhan said.
Lu Lingzhi kowtowed before slowly standing up. "Your Majesty, this official has another request."
"If you want to see Lu Wushuang, you can't do it today. I will allow you to see her after she repents." Mo Rongzhan said faintly.
Lu Lingzhi smiled bitterly in his heart. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Mo Rongzhan touched the ring on his thumb. "Go back and rest."
"Your Majesty, this official takes his leave." Lu Lingzhi's heart was full of despair. He knew very well that Shuang 'er would never be able to return to the palace in this life.
Ye Zhen, who had been silent, lowered her head and wanted to leave the imperial study with Lu Lingzhi. But before she could take two steps, she heard Mo Rongzhan's low voice again. "Yao Yao, the Empress Dowager is frightened tonight. Go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful to accompany her."
Ye Zhen stopped and looked back at him with a frown.
Mo Rongzhan's expression didn't change, still cold and indifferent, "Fu De, send the Marquis of Anyang out of the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Ford answered with his head lowered.
Lu Lingzhi looked at Ye Zhen and finally said softly, "Yao Yao, then you go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful to accompany the Empress Dowager, and …" He pleaded for Shuang 'er.
Unfortunately, Lu Lingzhi could no longer say such words.
After watching Lu Lingzhi leave, Ye Rou said to Mo Rongzhan, "Your Majesty, I will go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful."
"Aren't you worried that I will be poisoned as well?" Mo Rongzhan sighed with a smile and walked over to hold her hand. "Why did you enter the palace tonight?"
Ye Rou shook off his big palm and whispered, "Didn't Lu Wushuang say that I gave those blood swallows to Consort Xu Xian? The Old Madame was worried that I would be implicated, so she sent me to the palace to explain. "
Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly, "Do you think I will allow Lu Wushuang to use you as a scapegoat? Only she could come up with such a stupid idea. "
"You … really abandoned her?" Ye Zhen didn't quite believe it. During the two years she drifted in the palace, Lu Wushuang simply doted on the harem. Now, it was just a new beginning. How could Mo Rongzhan abandon her?
"You care about a person who wants to kill you. It's better to care about me." Mo Rongzhan stood beside her and looked down at the expression on her face.
Ye Zhen raised her eyes, looked at his face, and said angrily, "Didn't you say that Consort Xu Xian ate the blood swallows for you? What do you want now? "
He had the leisure to go to Xu Huiru's place to eat the blood swallows. How could he be uncomfortable?
"You really don't care about me at all." Mo Rongzhan said helplessly.
Ye Zhen snorted, "I will go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful to accompany the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty, go and find Consort Xian, who is interested in you."
Mo Rongzhan immediately grabbed her wrist and hugged her in his arms. "I just went to Consort Xian's place to sit. Are you unhappy?"
"Your Majesty, which eye of yours sees that I am unhappy?" Ye Zhen said angrily, "Let me go!"
"The Empress Dowager has fallen asleep. If you go at this time, you will wake her up." Mo Rongzhan whispered in her ear, "It is I who want you to accompany me, not the Empress Dowager."
Ye Zhen glared at him angrily, "Mo Rongzhan! How can you be so despicable! "
A faint smile appeared on Mo Rongzhan's thin lips. "If I don't do this, when can I see you?"
"You …" Ye Zhen glared at him angrily.
"I won't do anything to you. Talk to me." Mo Rongzhan whispered, but his eyes were fixed on her pink lips.
"There are so many women in your harem. Which one of them can't talk to you?" Ye Zhen's cheeks blushed slightly, remembering that Xu Huiru was still a virgin.
Since he expanded his harem, did he not let any of his concubines sleep with him? Didn't that mean that he had been … enduring it?
Mo Rongzhan's eyes became more gloomy. He lowered his head and said hoarsely, "I want to hear you talk."
Ye Zhen wanted to ask him about Xu Huiru, but such a thing was not suitable for her to ask. "Then let's play chess!"
"Don't you have anything else to ask me?" Mo Rongzhan frowned and asked.
"Ask what?" Ye Zhen frowned and thought for a moment, "Is Consort Xu Xian really poisoned?"
Xu Huiru knew that there was something wrong with those blood swallows. How could she still eat them? But now that even Lu Wushuang has been abandoned, it can't be fake.
"I heard that she was not feeling well, so I went to Xinhe Palace. Consort Xu Xian was just preparing to eat the blood swallow. She said that it was a gift from Lu Wushuang and specially asked someone to bring me a bowl. She tasted it first and soon passed out …" Mo Rongzhan briefly explained the process of Xu Huiru's poisoning.
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with a smile. "Then why did you go to her palace tonight? Did the Empress Dowager ask you to go? "
When Mo Rongzhan heard her say this, he thought she was jealous. "I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. She mentioned Xu Huiru, so … Yao Yao, do you not like her?"
"What do I not like?" Ye Zhen smiled. "I just think it's strange that Consort Xu Xian, a smart and clever person, has never been on good terms with Lu Wushuang. How dare she eat the blood swallow sent by Lu Wushuang?"
"Do you think all the women in the harem are good? How can I not see what tricks Xu Huiru is playing? " Mo Rongzhan tapped Ye Zhen's forehead. "But by borrowing her hand, she let me do something I have long wanted to do."
So he acquiesced to Xu Huiru's actions? Ye Zhen sneered in her heart. Sure enough, he is a cunning fox!
