?
Mo Rongzhan didn't quite believe Lu Wushuang's words, but he hoped that Lu Lingzhi didn't know. Otherwise, he might lose a confidant.
Lu Shide... was he the one who hid little Yaoyao?
Back in the imperial study, Mo Rongzhan ordered Cai Jinggao of the Overwatch Council to come in. Like Shen Yi, Cai Jinggao was also Mo Rongzhan's most trusted confidant. The Overwatch Council was his department that monitored the civil and military officials of the court. Shen Yi was not in the capital, so Cai Jinggao was the most suitable person to investigate Lu Shide.
If Lu Shide really caught little Yaoyao, he might let the Lu family go. But from then on, the Lu family would no longer have any honor.
Tonight, many people in the palace couldn't sleep, and many people in the Lu family also couldn't sleep.
Although the imperial edict that Lu Wushuang was deposed had not yet been issued, the news brought back by Lu Lingzhi had made everyone silent.
Once the Imperial Concubine was deposed, the Lu family would become a joke in the capital.
Half a year ago, Lu Wushuang was the emperor's favorite concubine. Everyone in the capital envied her. At that time, how many people were looking forward to her falling out of favor? Unexpectedly … it came so soon.
"Shuang only made one mistake, and the emperor is going to depose her?" Old Madame Lu whispered to Lu Lingzhi. She couldn't believe that overnight, the high and mighty Imperial Concubine had become a Taoist nun.
Lu Lingzhi was silent for a moment. "The emperor was almost poisoned."
Old Madame Lu's expression changed slightly. She smiled bitterly and said, "Well, at least she is alive. I didn't expect her to do anything for the Lu family. Now that she is no longer an Imperial Concubine, she can reflect on herself."
"Grandmother, don't worry too much. Shuang went to the Nianci Temple. I will let someone take care of her." Lu Lingzhi whispered.
"I shouldn't have let her enter the palace. She is not suitable at all …" Old Madame Lu shook her head and sighed. "She is not as good as Yaoyao."
Lu Lingzhi's heart skipped a beat. "Grandmother, you mean …"
"Don't think too much. I just said that Shuang is not as sensible as Yaoyao." Old Madame Lu sighed. "You are tired tonight. Go back and rest. Keep this matter from your mother for the time being."
"Yes, Grandmother." Lu Lingzhi nodded gently.
What he was worried about now was not whether his mother would be provoked. What he was most worried about was that the emperor already knew that Lu Wushuang was not his savior. If so, he would inevitably send someone to investigate the truth.
What if the emperor knew that it was Ye Zhen who really saved him?
Lu Lingzhi didn't dare to imagine the consequences. He didn't care about himself, but he didn't want to implicate the entire Lu Family. The only thing he could do now was to dispel the emperor's doubts, but how was he going to explain Shuang 'er's jade pendant?
He thought that since Ye Zhen was dead, the emperor would never know about it for the rest of his life. It seems that … a hundred secrets have been discovered.
…
…
Ye Zhen got up early in the morning. When she went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, Mo Rongzhan and Mo Rongyi were already in the hall.
The Empress Dowager called her over, "I heard that you entered the palace last night. Silly child, do you think that aijia and the emperor wouldn't believe you?"
Ye Zhen didn't know what to say. She pursed her lips into a smile and bowed her head without speaking.
"How can aijia listen to a person who doesn't even let go of her own sister?" The Empress Dowager said.
"Empress Dowager, I am also in the wrong. I shouldn't have gone to Consort Xu Xian with Imperial Consort Lu. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to harm Consort Xian." Ye Zhen whispered guiltily.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Zhen. She had never whispered in front of him like this. Yesterday, she did not say that she was not good. It seemed that this little girl did not trust him very much. She would not act coquettishly in front of her.
"How can you be blamed for this? If Lu Wushuang hadn't intended to use you, would you have agreed? " The Empress Dowager snorted, "Don't mention this matter again. Your Majesty, when will you send Lu Wushuang to the Temple of Remembrance?"
Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Mother, I have already sent her out of the palace."
The Empress Dowager nodded slowly and no longer mentioned Lu Wushuang.
After breakfast, Ye Zhen retired to go back to the Medical Women Institute. Only then did the Empress Dowager remember that she had been bullied there.
"Aijia heard that all the Medical Women Institute bullied you?" The Empress Dowager frowned and asked Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen smiled, "Mother, who dares to bully me?"
"You can't use your identity as a princess in the Medical Women Institute. Aijia can understand that, but if others think that they bully you and deliberately make things difficult for you, then aijia must intervene." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly.
"Mother, with this little prince here, no one dares to bully Yao Yao." Mo Rongyi immediately leaned close to the Empress Dowager. "In a while, this Prince will go to the Medical Women Institute and let those who bully Yao Yao know how powerful I am."
The Empress Dowager glanced at him, "Tell me, what's your plan?"
Mo Rongyi immediately patted himself on the shoulder, "Mother, I want to go hunting. Last time, my brother promised me. You should also promise me."
Ye Zhen chuckled, "Your shoulder doesn't hurt anymore?"
"It doesn't hurt for a long time." Mo Rongyi said immediately, "Let's go hunting tomorrow."
"You only think about hunting all day." The Empress Dowager shook her head, "Bring all the guards around you. Although it is a hunting ground, you can't be careless."
The Empress Dowager agreed.
Mo Rongyi was so happy that he almost jumped up. "Yes, Mother, I'll go prepare and go hunting tomorrow."
Before Ye Zhen could say anything, Mo Rongyi had already run out of sight.
Mo Rongzhan, who was sitting next to her, smiled and said nothing, his eyes lingering on Ye Zhen's face.
"Mother, then I'll go to the Medical Women Institute first." Ye Zhen whispered to the Empress Dowager that if she went hunting tomorrow, she would have to send someone to the Lu family to fetch her bow and arrows.
She went back to the Imperial Hospital to help boil the medicine and was busy for most of the day. When she was about to rest, Imperial Physician Huang came in angrily and looked at several medical women who were boiling the medicine and asked angrily, "Who cooked Hu Guiren's medicine just now?"
Ye Zhen was slightly startled and looked up at Imperial Physician Huang. "I cooked the medicine."
"You?" Imperial Physician Huang looked at her coldly, took a porcelain bowl from Gao Xueping's hand behind him, and put it heavily in front of Ye Zhen. "Is this my prescription? Hu Guiren only has a common cold. What medicine is this? Smell it yourself. "
"Imperial Physician Huang, I also filled the medicine according to the prescription." Ye Zhen said.
"Do you mean that I deliberately gave you the wrong prescription?" Imperial Physician Huang asked with a sneer.
Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Imperial Physician Huang. "Imperial Physician Huang, how do I know if you did it on purpose? Take out the prescription and you will know who is wrong. "
Imperial Physician Huang sneered, "Where's the prescription?"
Gao Xueping immediately said, "Master, it has been sealed."
Looking at the calm appearance of the master and apprentice, Ye Zhen knew that they came prepared.
